Chapter 223 Paddy Field Farming Method
When Shi Jia heard this, he completely understood that in this era, there was no such method as in later generations, the method of paddy field cultivation, and if they used this method themselves, they might not believe it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and all you have to do is to speak with facts! Now he has to say it, even if the other party will not believe it, it doesn't matter, as long as it is in front of the facts, everyone will believe it.
"We can sow the rice seeds in a field that specializes in growing seedlings, and when the seedlings in the field grow long enough, we can plant the seedlings back into the rice field." When Shi Jia said this, he saw that people were shaking their heads, of course they knew that people were all dry fields, and they had to break up the soil, and they all thought that doing so would cost more work, be greater, and it was not desirable.
Shi Jia smiled, and then said, "Don't worry! It won't hurt the seedlings, and it won't cost too much manpower! Because our fields are to be irrigated and soaked in water, planting seedlings in them will not hurt the seedlings! ”
When people heard this, their eyes widened! They all laughed one by one, but no one dared to refute Shi Jia, Shi Jia's identity was there, even if it was stinky, he had to say that it was fragrant. No matter how much they don't believe it in their hearts, after all, many of these people have done farm work all their lives, Shi Jia is a rich kid and has never done farm work, does he really understand?
Shi Jia ignored it and continued: "My method is not to dry the field, first plow the land, and then release water to soak the field after plowing, but the water can't be put too much!" You can't fill the back of the land, you have to make a five-inch field shortage, let the water flow into the high field, and then flow out from the low field, level the field, and wait until the seedlings grow up to be planted! This saves time! ”
Some people smiled bitterly, they didn't believe that Shi Jia's method was feasible, and some people even said: "Master Hou, the method you said is indeed very good!" But this water is not easy to come by! Carrying water is difficult! Transporting water consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not worth it! ”
Shi Jia smiled, he pointed to the high drum waterwheel, and said, "Everyone, please look!" He had the water in the hands of a high-drum water wheel, which was continuously transported to the fields through a conduit made of bamboo, so that there was no problem with irrigation, and there was no need for others to worry about the water in the buckets to irrigate the fields.
People couldn't help but sigh when they saw it, Shi Jia is really amazing! I actually invented this thing! In this way, people don't have to travel all the way to the river or lake to carry water, and this high-drum waterwheel is really useful.
Many people have said that it would be extremely advantageous to be able to produce this kind of high-drum waterwheel on a large scale. And this kind of thing is not difficult to make, Shi Jia has already handed it over to the carpenter, let them be responsible for making a few more, and at the same time, it can also be taught to others, so that others also know how to make it, so as to make it on a large scale.
Shi Jia took out farm tools such as zigzag plows, winch plows, and nail rakes, all of which were only available in later generations, and they naturally hadn't seen them before, and they kept shaking their heads when they looked at each other.
Shi Jia doesn't want to explain more now, and it's useless to explain, one or two don't believe it, if you say more, it's a waste of saliva, and Shi Jia said so much before, just to let everyone have a bottom in their hearts first, and as soon as the facts come out in the future, they will be shocked.
Shi Jia will wait patiently for the autumn harvest! Anyway, there is no war now, and it will take a lot of time for Xianbei to go south. Of course, this is Shi Jia's idea, but he has unconsciously changed the course of history, and history may not go according to the rules anymore, and making changes will also make Shi Jia not have enough time to become stronger.
Shi Jia first showed them how to use the curved plough to plough the field, this is a new thing, of course people are willing to stay, take a good look at how Shi Jia operates.
Shi Jia had already taught Zhao Long how to use it, and he and Zhao Long used a curved plow to plow the field.
The two of them saw that the speed of using the curved plough to plough the ground was indeed very fast! However, for them, most of them think that it is still a dry field, and it is unacceptable to say that it is not right from the method they have used for so many years. Therefore, Shi Jia can only look at Shi Jia like this.
After watching the excitement, people are naturally scattered, and they still have to do it in their own way.
Zhao Long was young and refused to admit defeat, and said, "Brother, do you think we can really win them?" Look at the look in their eyes and we're very unconvinced! It always feels like we're going to lose! It's really uncomfortable! I want to win them! I'm going to win them! ”
Shi Jia smiled and said to Zhao Long, "Do you believe me? Zhao Long nodded his head and said, "Of course I believe it!" I don't believe who else can Brother Shi trust! Not only Zhao Long said this, but even Zhang Yong also said that he also believed in Shi Jia, and he wanted to follow Shi Jia to do so.
When Shi Jia heard this, he smiled, it's really good to have die-hard support! No matter what you do, you can make people confident! Shi Jia only felt that he was full of confidence at this moment.
It was under such circumstances that Shi Jia began to use his methods of farming. At the beginning, there were still some people who came to see the excitement to see how Shi Jia cultivated! At the same time, he was also exclaiming that Shi Jia's method was fast, but there were fewer and fewer people coming to the back to watch, after all, it was too fresh.
However, there is one point, as the Hou Ye, Shi Jia, the biggest ruler of Wenxi, actually went down to the field to farm in person, which really made many people fall through their glasses. They all said that Shi Jia was close to the people, and he was really a good marquis.
But Yecheng's side doesn't see it that way, Shi Hu still thinks that Shi Jia is too weak, this farming is not right, it is a manifestation of making people weak, only hunting, and martial arts are the best.
Many ministers said that Shi Jia worked hard and harvested in the end, but it was not for them to be strong, and he should be allowed to continue.
In such a situation, Kui An just wanted to say more, but it was useless, he had to keep silent, but his heart was full of sorrow.
Shi Hu's will was sent to Wen Xi, that is, he wanted Shi Jia to work harder and produce more food, and he praised Shi Jia! Of course, he also made it clear that Shi Jia can only use the Han people to do farming, as for the Hu people, this is to join the army, this is to fight, but they can't farm, ruining their heroic spirit, they will be as weak as sheep.
Seriously, Shi Jia was very unhappy when he received this will, what did he think of them as Han people! It's too much! But there is no way, after all, it is under the fence, and the strength is too weak, so you have to endure it.
