Qu Qingze seemed very mysterious, saying that he lived in Su Mansion and had to discuss many things with Su Tiancheng every day, in fact, Su Tiancheng couldn't see his shadow, and he went out early in the morning every day, and only returned to the mansion after dark, and sometimes he didn't even come back, and he didn't know where he went.

Qu Qingze is a guest, Su Tiancheng will not get to the bottom of it, people always have their own affairs, besides, Qu Qingze's identity is not simple.

Su Tiancheng himself also made a mistake in principle, the harvest of winter wheat, calculated according to the solar calendar, is from April to May every year, but according to the lunar calendar, it can be harvested in March, and the planting of corn and sweet potatoes must be planted in April of the lunar calendar, or May of the solar calendar. After the crossing, he already knew that the Ming calendar was calculated according to the lunar calendar, but in his mind, he was accustomed to the saying of the solar calendar, so in determining the harvest and planting time of crops, the solar calendar time was regarded as the time of the lunar calendar.

Fortunately, this error is not a big problem and will not cause any damage.

In March, some fields have ripe winter wheat and are ready to be harvested.

The tenants of the Su family began to get busy, and from this time on, it was really the busy farming season.

In the peasant season, the government attaches great importance to it, and from April to July every year, the government wants to stop announcing disputes that are not particularly serious, so as not to delay the agricultural time.

The so-called public notice is now a lawsuit. The third day of the first month, the sixth day of the first month and the ninth day of the first month, are determined as the day of the announcement, the government and the county government accept the people's lawsuits, after the complaint is handed in, the contract house next, the registration and registration, the prefect or the county, the day will not be immediately heard, the court accepts the pleading, after the withdrawal of the court, carefully reviewed, the order of the letter is not allowed to return to the person, the quasi-petition is handled, simple disputes, the next day, major cases, after a period of investigation, and then tried.

But when it came to the busy farming season, the government stopped issuing notices, because the lawsuit would delay time.

Su Tiancheng didn't care about paying attention to Qu Qingze anymore, and most of his energy had already been thrown into the fields.

In this era, no one has ever seen the seedling thing, everyone farms, are planting seeds directly into the field, apply some farm fertilizer, clean up the weeds in the field during the period, the next thing is to see the meaning of God, if the wind and rain are smooth, you can get a bumper harvest, if there is a drought or waterlogging, a year's hard work is in vain, eating must be a big problem.

For more than ten consecutive days, Su Tiancheng was in the field.

He instructed the tenants to fertilize, and asked all the tenants to come and watch, and they must remember all the procedures, and the things of tidying up the fields and fertilizing do not need to be taught, everyone can, and they can do things that are nutritious and fast, so that all the tenants will not know their heads. The fields are divided into pieces of soil, with slices one by one, to make a three-centimeter-sized clod, each clod, put into a corn seed, these clods, long mixed with enough farm fertilizer, some straw ash and straw ash. Next, on top of these small pieces, cover with a thin layer of straw straw fragments.

As for the sweet potato, it is even more strange, after being cut into pieces, it is planted in the ground, and the planting density is very large, of course, these fields are also carefully prepared, and the farm fertilizer has already been applied.

It was the first time for the tenants to see such planting techniques, and they were a little trembling, following the guidance of the young master, when they operated it themselves, they were very careful, and it looked a little funny, they were all farmers, and at this time, they would not farm.

In their hearts, they no longer only regard the young master as a benefactor and master, the young master is simply a god in the sky, a bodhisattva in the temple, otherwise how would they know these strange things.

Hundreds of years later, seedlings, because of film, modern machinery, compound fertilizer, much faster, much higher yield, but now it is not possible, to do such a thing, time-consuming and laborious, fortunately there is enough labor.

It took five days to raise the seedlings, and all the tenants, regardless of gender, all participated, and when they were not familiar with it, they took their time and accelerated the progress after they became familiar.

After the seedling is completed, the next step is to harvest winter wheat on a large scale, even Su Tiancheng is personally in battle, this is not a high-end technology, after a day, he adapted, just through this kind of work, exercise the body. Of course, in the nursing home of Su Mansion, except for a few people who stayed in the mansion, the rest came here to help with the harvest.

It is necessary to rush time, after harvesting, but also to tidy up the field, maize and sweet potato, half a month later can be transplanted, the season can not be delayed, the plan of the year lies in the spring, this time is harder, the second half of the year can be harvested.

In this process, there are also some farmers who come to watch, and most of them think that the young master of Sufu is probably stupid to read, where is there such a farming, the seeds are sown directly in the ground, it's okay, isn't this looking for something to do.

There are a lot of farmers who are talking about it, and none of them are doing it, which is also normal, and the promotion of new things is not easy, and there must be a harvest before it can really be rolled out.

Besides, the yield of maize is very low, almost no one wants to plant, some farmers in the vicinity have planted, the yield of one acre of land, less than half a stone, if you rely on maize to support your family, you can't eat enough all year round.

The envy of the farmers is the ditches that run through the fields, as well as the weirs and wells, which can be of great use when water is scarce, but unfortunately they cannot afford to build them.

When the tenants of the Su family began to harvest the winter wheat, the surrounding farmers were also greedy, and the winter wheat of the people, because of the more water, grew exceptionally better.

Many farmers in the vicinity have already begun to plan whether to sell their fields to Su Fu and become tenants of Su Fu, and the life of other tenants is better, with grain, salt, and pork, seeing that they are jumping around one by one, and they are also extra strong in doing farm work, but seeing the young master of the Su family so tossed, everyone hesitated.

Su Tiancheng goes out early and returns late every day, almost no other things, the harvested winter wheat, naturally Su Pingyang is responsible for collecting rent, and several houses have been vacated in the house, as a warehouse, Su Tiancheng also asked, in the back garden, dig a few large well cellars, ready to store sweet potatoes.

This kind of thing, the Su family's nursing home can do very well, they are all children in the countryside, and this kind of thing is easy to do.

In late March, all the winter wheat was harvested, and the fields were almost tidied up, this month's time, Su Tiancheng arranged the house, prepared a lot of fatty meat, after cooking, provided to the tenants every three forks, the amount of labor is too large, and it is necessary to replenish physical strength, otherwise it is unbearable. Don't talk about tenants, it is the nursing home of Su Mansion, the amount of food has increased significantly, as the saying goes, half-old children eat their fathers, most of these nursing homes are boys between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, and it is the time to grow their bodies.

Su Pingyang is complaining, the amount of food in these nursing homes is too large, the young master's meaning is to open the supply, you must eat well, seeing that the people in the kitchen, busy feet do not touch the ground, and consume a lot of food every day, he finally understands, why does the young master have to prepare so much food.

The effect is also obvious, these nursing homes, just arrived in Sufu, the face is yellow and thin, less than four months, all of them are alive and vigorous, with endless strength, it is said that digging wells such heavy physical labor, they can not bear it, but three large well cellars, about a month, all dug up, and do not delay the daily training.

It's time for transplanting.

Su Tiancheng once again guarded the field, maize planted 1,000 and 50 plants per mu, that is, 1,000 and 50 nutrient blocks, of course, the nutrient blocks did not germinate well, and threw them aside, there were already prepared surplus nutrient blocks, and 4,500 seedlings were planted per mu of sweet potatoes.

In order to ensure the smooth transplanting, Su Tiancheng personally demonstrated in a field, calculated the spacing of maize, and required all transplanting operations to follow such rules, and would rather start to work harder.

As for the sweet potato, there is no question of what spacing, and the transplanting of sweet potato is seedlings, which are transplanted according to 4,500 plants per mu.

During the transplanting season, the number of farmers who saw the excitement increased significantly, and everyone was sneering, but some experienced farmers couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the maize seedlings planted in the ground, which grew very well.

We haven't seen sweet potatoes, I don't know what it is, I heard that this thing came from Fuzhou, Fujian, everyone is very curious.

Some farmers who have a good relationship with tenants, especially those who have a good relationship with the chief and the head of the first hand, see that there are many seedlings of maize, and they also ask for some and plant them in their own fields, as for the sweet potato seedlings, they dare not open their mouths at will, and the things transported from Fuzhou, which is thousands of miles away, do not know how precious Lu Dao is, besides, they have not seen sweet potatoes, and they don't know what this thing is for, in case it is the young master of the Su family who has a special purpose, and he has grown it himself, what can it do.

In short, from March to early April, the young master of the Su family and the tenants of the Su family became the focus of attention of nearby farmers.

I have been busy until the tenth day of April, all the transplanting work is completed, as for the management of the field, it is almost the same, the early stage of growth can not be short of water, it is harder.

In this way, all the 7,500 acres of land of the Su family were planted with maize and sweet potatoes, of which 4,500 acres were maize and 3,000 acres were sweet potatoes.

From the 10th of April to the 15th of April, the average tenant began to feed the pigs.

Rao is these tenants, all of them are strong men, after more than a month, they are too tired to straighten their waists.
