At the end of June, the sun was scorching, and the earth was roasted hot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, after breakfast, Xie Ao saw an old man walk in through the door, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, as if there was something urgent.

The old man began to shout at the door, "Xie Wen, it's not good, something happened to Qixing Lake, and everyone is about to die." ”

Xie Wen walked out, "What the hell is going on?" Rush you into this. ”

"There is a fight on the other side of Qixing Lake, and the villagers are making trouble because of the water source!"

"Have you informed the government?"

"I've been notified, and now County Lieutenant Xue has sent someone over, and I'm here to inform you."

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you right away." Qixinghu Manor is the inheritance left by the ancestors of the Xie family, and it is also the foundation on which the Xie Wen family depends, so he takes this matter very seriously.

"Daddy, I'll go with you."

"What kind of mess are you going to follow, what if you get hurt by mistake in the fight?"

"Daddy, didn't you teach me Dharma Fuhu Fist? Besides, the people from the government have also been dispatched, and there will be no major incident. ”

"Alright then, you follow me, don't run around."

At this time, the old man said, "Xiao Ao, you are back, I am really happy to see your uncle, when you disappeared, your cousin Xie Dang and I blame ourselves, and my uncle is deeply sorry!" ”

Xie Wen said, "Big brother, let's talk about this matter later, let's go to Seven Star Lake first." ”

"That's true."

They rode in a carriage and rushed to Qixing Lake non-stop.

Qixing Lake, five miles away from the county seat, near the Wujiang River. The geographical conditions are superior, and many big people in the county have bought land here. There are also several villages around this lake, and throughout the ages, everyone has relied on this Seven Star Lake to irrigate their farmland. However, due to the unusually hot weather recently, the water level in the lake began to drop, and the villagers began to quarrel. At first, it was just a few arguments with each other, and finally they all the guys.

When Xie Ao and the others arrived at Qixing Lake, there were at least hundreds of people gathered here, some with hoes and some with sickles, all of them were angry, and there were three or four waves of people on the scene. The official mission of the county government has arrived, and they are trying their best to pull away several people.

At this time, Xie Ao saw a familiar face in the crowd, it turned out to be Xue Feiyan, who was dressed as a fast catcher today, it seems that she is really a fast catcher.

"Xue Feiyan, here, I'm Xie Ao." Xie Ao shouted as he beckoned to Xue Feiyan.

"Why are you here? How dangerous. Xue Feiyan looked back and said.

"My family also has a manor here, and I heard that the villagers are about to fight, and my tenants are also involved, so I came over with my father to have a look."

"This matter is a bit tricky, you persuade your father not to be strong, these people are not easy to mess with."

"Thank you for the reminder. I'll let Daddy know. ”

Xie Ao came to Daddy's side and told him the general situation. Then he said to Xie Wen, "Daddy, can you take me to our manor?" ”

"Now that everyone is arguing about how to distribute the water, why do you still want to go to the manor! I'll let Xiaoqian take you! ”

Following Xiaoqian to his manor, Xie Ao looked around, as if he was in a paradise.

Directly ahead, the rippling blue waves of the Seven Star Lake are embedded in the large green fields, like the bright eyes of a girl. On the right is the misty Wujiang River, with willows swaying in the wind. Behind it is the hills, surrounded by mulberry and bamboo, melons, fruits and vegetables. Xie Ao also found a fountain, he held a clear spring in his hand, drank a few sips, and then washed his face, and the whole person was instantly much refreshed.

Looking at the green rice, Xie Ao always felt that some places were strange, some of these rice had entered the tillering stage, and the young ears had begun to differentiate, and it was time to dry the fields.

After a few more glances, Xie Ao found that these rices were densely clustered together. Some places are dense, some places are sparse, so there is no planting at all, but the seeds are directly scattered in the field! It turns out that the problem is here.

Xie Ao said with a look of disbelief: "Xiaoqian, we all grow rice in Wujiang like this, just throw the seeds into the ground and let them grow freely?" ”

"Our Wujiang has always been like this, I heard that some people have begun to use the rice planting method in some places, but this has nothing to do with our Wujiang."

"Why is that?"

"We, Wujiang County is a small county town, belonging to a wide township, with a vast land and sparsely populated population, so most people have been allocated a sufficient amount of land. Adult males can be divided into 20 acres of Yongye field and 80 acres of mouth field. If you use the rice transplanting method, you won't be able to do it. The other is that we don't know this seedling raising technology, so the rice is directly seeded. ”

According to historical records, before the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan had always practiced the live broadcast method. After the Tang Dynasty, the transplantation method was gradually promoted, but many places still used the live broadcast method, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, when the land was vast and sparsely populated, the live broadcast method was still prevalent.

Xie Ao had read in books before that a family of five from a traditional farmer with 40 acres of cultivated land is the best combination of manpower and land. It conforms to the ideal farming mode of "30 acres of land, one ploughing cow" in the traditional society, which is conducive to improving labor productivity and labor efficiency. But a hundred acres of land, for the people at that time to want to intensively cultivate, it was a little difficult.

Xie Ao majored in bioengineering during college, and grew up in the countryside when he was a child, so he had a certain amount of research on crops. At this moment, he already knew the general situation of the manor. It seems that there were still many problems in agriculture in the early Tang Dynasty. As a person with modern knowledge, as long as he knows the level of productivity at that time, and then compares it with the level of modern productivity, he can know where the gap is, and then put forward reasonable suggestions and solutions. These proposals and methods are the crystallization of the wisdom of human history.

There are still many problems in the manor, but the current water rush turmoil must be solved first. If it is not solved well, it will cause disaster at any time.

"Xiaoqian, let's go back quickly and persuade Daddy not to grab water."

By the time they returned to the crowd, the scene was almost out of control. Xie Ao saw in the crowd that the horizontal meat man also appeared, he didn't beat him down last time, but now he came out again, and the horizontal meat man seemed to have seen Xie Ao too, and his body shrank back slightly. At this time, Xie Ao found that Xiao Qian was hiding behind him, and her body leaned back slightly.

"Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you?"

"Wang Mazi is there, he was the one who threw you into the Wujiang River in the first place." Xiao Qian said in a low voice.

It's really a narrow road, I didn't go to him, he came to the door by himself. There was constant commotion in the crowd. Someone said, "Our family's grange is closer to Qixing Lake, so our family should irrigate first." ”

Immediately, someone retorted: "Why should we have to irrigate later, no, absolutely not." ”

Some people also say, "That's a family for a day, until it's full." ”

Everyone couldn't come up with a result. Xie Ao said a few words in Xie Wen's ear, and Xie Wen nodded as acquiescence.

Just when everyone was arguing, Xie Ao said loudly, "Our Xie family withdraws from the competition for the water source of Qixing Lake, and not only that, we are willing to release most of the water from the paddy fields." The scene exploded. They didn't expect that someone would voluntarily give up the water source.

When Xie Ao announced the news in public, Xie Ao's uncle originally wanted to fight on the basis of reason, because he was the leader of Xiejia Village, so he naturally wanted to fight for more water for the people in the village. He was also dumbfounded when he heard the news. There are many people who are not happy, especially the tenant farmers of the Xie family.

"I'm the fourth son of the Xie family, you don't have to argue, if you hurt your life because of the water problem, do you think it's worth it? In the end, it is you who will suffer. Do you want to go to the cell and eat the prison food? The tenants of the Xie family and the villagers of the Xie family were silent after hearing this, and the hoes in their hands were gradually put down.

"Don't feel sad, I will help you solve the problem of water sources, you all go to the manor with me, I have something to discuss with you." Suddenly, a wave of people gradually broke away from the crowd.

Seeing that there was no wave of people competing for water, Wang Mazi said proudly, "Four nerds, your brain really didn't enter the water, and those who know the times are Junjie." ”

"I heard that your rice field is right down to mine, and since you want this water so much, I will give it to you with great mercy. Remember that our account is not over yet. ”

"Now that you have already expressed your position, you Xie family can withdraw."

Xie Ao secretly rejoiced in his heart, since you want water, I will let you drink to your heart's content. Don't you like to fight, I'll let you fight enough.

Xie Ao turned to Xue Feiyan and said, "I can only help here, you can watch and deal with the rest of the matter, you should be more careful yourself." ”

Xue Feiyan said: "Thank you for reminding me, with my father here, there will be no big mess." ”

Xie Ao led the villagers and tenants to a vacant lot in the manor, looking at these simple villagers and tenant farmers, Xie Ao patiently said to them, "I saw a wonderful method in the book, and I heard that it can increase rice yields. Do you want to know? ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”

Rice drying can improve the soil structure of paddy field, enhance the vitality of rice roots, promote seedling root rooting, control ineffective tillering, increase the panicle rate, and reduce the occurrence of rice diseases and pests. Of course, Xie Ao can't say that to them, and they don't understand it.

Xie Ao just said, "I have just seen the rice we planted, and the book says that drying the field has many benefits for rice. It can increase rice yields and reduce pests and diseases, but not all fields can be sun-dried, so listen carefully to me. Drying fields should be adapted to local conditions: Sha Tin does not retain water and is not suitable for drying fields; White glue mud field, the soil quality becomes hard after drainage, and the soak is not soft after rewatering, so it is not suitable for drying the field; Wangtiantian is not suitable for drying fields, understand? ”

At this time, someone asked, "What is Wangtian?" ”

"It's a field that has no water source to irrigate, and only rainwater irrigation. Now our biggest problem is how to recharge the paddy fields after drying the fields. I have just found a huge fountain in the manor, which is enough to irrigate the fields around us. Let's dig a ditch tomorrow, as long as the ditch is dug through, there will be no water source in the future. ”

Everyone shouted in unison, and the hanging heart was finally let go.

Later, when the people returned home, the villagers inquired about it. Not long after they left, the scene got out of control, several waves of people scuffled together, many people were injured, and the leaders were sent to the county jail. The villagers and tenants of Xiejia Village were secretly happy after hearing this.

Xie Ao later learned that Wang Mazi had his leg discounted, and his heart blossomed, I asked you to pretend to be forced and slap your face. Xie Ao is such a person with clear grievances, "If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, I will offend others." For Wang Mazi, his tragedy has just begun.
