"Don't eat grain when you starve to death" is an old folk saying, but recently, Liu Ao found that many families are not optimistic about growing grain.

Of the 500 tenants in Changsun Mansion, one-third have lost their crops. After the investigation, it was found that the Tang Dynasty's grain planting was seeded once an acre of land! Muddy. This is not called seed, this is called burying grain in the ground.

You know, once it is four buckets, one bucket is about thirty catties. Even in later generations, the average yield of one mu of land was only 800 catties of wheat per mu. The best is the yield per mu.

I remember that in later generations, the average seed was about thirty-five to forty catties per acre. The current land is already so barren that without chemical fertilizers and some synthetic fertilizers, fifty catties is enough. What's more, it's spring wheat!

There are more than a dozen tenants of the grandson's mansion, working in Liu Ao's workshop.

There is a family that has eaten one-third of the grain before going to work in Liu Ao's workshop. That's it, there are also Qidan seeds!

It is said that he rented ten acres of land from the eldest grandson's family, a mother-in-law and a child in the family, the child is small, can not work, every year in the spring ploughing, he has to be tired and sick once, ten acres of land, two people to do, the old man in the family is almost seventy, but also help cook, deliver food, almost eat and sleep in the field when the farm is busy.

When he was in middle school in the world, Liu Ao went back to his hometown to participate in a wheat harvest, there was a harvester, but there was half an acre because it was too narrow, so he gathered wheat more than a decade, Liu Ao and his old father, one person had a sickle, hand cutting, it was still very fresh at the beginning, after ten years of planting, it was cut and straightened up! If you haven't done it, you really can't feel the hard work of cutting wheat.

Not to mention ten acres? Besides, most of the seeds are sown now, not at all like the neat sowing of the later generations? It's even harder to collect.

Liu Ao asked Changsun Chong to discuss, let Changsun Chong give full play to the rights of the owner, and let everyone not scatter seeds immediately after cultivating the land, but must follow the sowing method of Liu Ao's 100 acres of land.

There is a farm tool in the grandson's house! Simple sowing tools have been made, and many people don't understand the three-clawed thing that sows wheat in the countryside in later generations.

Only the tenants who worked in Liu Ao's workshop knew how magical this young owner was, and they were convinced of his arrangement.

Liu Ao was given a hundred acres of fertile land by the eldest grandson's mansion, which was just south of his mansion. The shrubs surrounding the fertile fields had been cleared, and when they were ploughed, Liu Ao estimated that there were almost twice as many fields.

The fields were given to themselves, and the tenants came together, and now seven or eight families are now all workers in the workshop. According to the method of later generations, Liu Ao first wet the seeds on the first night, dried them there, and then mixed them with poison.

Speaking of poison, in the memory of Liu Ao's body, in addition to arsenic, it is chrysanthemum leaf ash, chrysanthemum leaf ash is generally used to kill insects on plants, and it can also kill some aphids and the like, do you think, how toxic is the leaf ash of chrysanthemum?

Arsenic, Liu Ao didn't want to use it, that thing was a primitive chemical, and the main ingredient was sulfide. Some white powder, now I have to buy it secretly, and people still think that they are going to do bad things.

It's a pity that Zuo Shi hasn't come yet, and I don't know if I can catch up, according to this amount, Changsun Mansion should be enough, including his own hundreds of acres of land, but it's hard to say about the wasteland that has been developed.

When Liu Ao used a new seeder to sow seeds for the first time, the ground was full of people, and everyone came to see how this ancient son sowed, it may be that the fields used human and animal drains, and now they have been turned out, fortunately it is the wilderness, otherwise it really can't stand people.

Liu Ao has never used it himself, but he has never eaten pork, and he has seen pigs run! An old scalper, swaying, walking steadily, Liu Ao is holding the "sage" in the back

This "scumbag" is the seeder made by Liu Ao. It is the same as the Hereafter. There are dozens of these on the ground.

After the two went back and forth, several tenants had already mastered the usage, and Liu Ao was replaced, and dozens of cows and dozens of "shackles" started together, and the scene was very beautiful......

Seeing this scene, Liu Ao also sighed, he somehow became a landlord by his mother, although there were fewer tenants, plus his own family and four retainers and more than a dozen sisters' fields, nearly 500 acres!

I don't have any cattle, all of them belong to the eldest grandson's house, and so are the seeds, and my own tenants and my own retainers only have to work. His sisters were sent out by Liu Ao to pick wild vegetables, so they can't really raise them into a big lady who doesn't do anything, right? To do things is to do things.

In fact, the sowing work of the land is very fast, and the sowing work of the family land is finished in less than an hour, and the efficiency is amazing. According to this calculation, there are basically more than one bucket of seeds in one acre of field. The contract is more than forty pounds.

"Wouldn't that be a waste of land?" An old farmer asked Liu Ao, and he saw that there was a wide space between the folds and the folds. He had the impression that the seeds had to be all over the land.

Liu Ao's head turned black when he asked this question, isn't it! From yesterday's experiment, to today, I can't remember how many such questions I answered, and Uncle Wang laughed next to him.

"Uncle Wang, tell this uncle." Seeing Uncle Wang smiling happily, he simply found something to do for him, and he still slipped away with Da Bai and Da Hei. Didn't you see Dabai digging dirt not far away? Maybe you can pick something out, I heard that dogs have very sensitive noses.

It's just that why doesn't this stupid cat hide? The soil of the big white chop buried the big black body, this stupid cat......

Liu Ao looked at the crowd on the side of the road and around the fields, and estimated that one of the thirds of the farmers in Luoyang City came to see the freshness, but they were busy with their own retainers and dozens of old farmers in the fields, and kept explaining the benefits of sowing seeds in this way.

Whether it is Xuanyuan plow, or Qizi, or his new sowing concept, it is the first time that it has appeared in Datang. The efficiency of the Xuanyuan plough is undoubtedly accepted by everyone, and it is not difficult to understand the raking of the land, so flat the field, I didn't dare to think about it before.

It's just that some old farmers are still worried about this kind of sowing seeds, and the plan of the year lies in the spring, so they can't be cautious......

No one noticed that an old farmer looked like an old man, although he was inconspicuously dressed, but he was very clean, and he also listened to a few old farmers in the crowd talking about Liu Ao's concept, twisting his white beard, thoughtful......

Uncle Dumb walked to Liu Ao, who was looking at Dabai, what could he pick up, "Miss is back, in your house, the seeds have also been obtained, and they are all unloaded in the yard." ”

When Liu Ao heard this, he immediately said, "Let's go, dumb uncle, let's go back." ”

Say hello to his retainers, get into the dumb uncle's carriage, Dabai saw Liu Ao get into the carriage, "woo" screamed, fast, rushed to the carriage, Da Hei shook his body and followed.

It's over, Liu Ao looked at the paw prints on his body, in his arms, on his hem, and on his shoulders. It's all, especially, Da Hei, squatting on his shoulders and shaking his body, a lot of dirt shaking on Liu Ao's head and neck.......

"Big Black, I'm going to kill you......"

Kill, Liu Ao must be reluctant, just catch it, let Da Bai press on it, let it carry Da Bai, this is a punishment for it......

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw that Ma Han and Yao Daliang were moving seeds into the room, and there was a pile of burlap bags in the courtyard.

"Uncle Ma, Uncle Yao, you don't have to move, you, who will personally notify the Changsun Mansion and let the people in their house pull it, just remember the total number, remember to let the Changsun Mansion send receipts, it's all money!" What about Miss Zuo? ”

"It's time to warm up the Spring Pavilion, and I said I want to freshen up!"

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower too, no, I even have to change my clothes, and the big black has made me dirt." Then he said to the dumb uncle, "Miss Zuo is here, let her wait for me in the study." ”

In the past, when he took a bath, the housekeeper Zhou Yan got water for himself, but now he has to trouble Uncle Ma, and Zhou Yan has not come back in the field. Anyway, now that there is a stove at home, the hot water at home has never been cut off.

In the wooden house, steaming, Liu Ao lay comfortably in the big wooden tong, and the appearance of Zuo Shi couldn't help but appear in his mind......
