Back to his greenhouse and school, Deng Shifeng first checked the learning progress of the students when he went out for a few days, because there was no way to find a second teacher, these days when he was away, the students were more to review what they had learned some time ago and do physical training and labor, in the fields and dry land planned in the new village, there is such a field that belongs to Deng Shifeng, Deng Shifeng plans to use these places as vegetable fields, although he has a certain amount of food for the students to eat for a period of time, But the vegetables have long been consumed......

Perhaps because they were afraid that they did not pass the monthly inspection, the students did not dare to relax their studies even in the few days when Deng Shifeng left, which made Deng Shifeng very pleased, and under the leadership of several senior brothers and sisters, several vegetable fields have gradually taken shape, and some crops that can grow in winter such as radishes and pea seedlings have been planted.

After dinner, Deng Shifeng started today's evening class. The content of the evening class is not mainly based on learning, although Deng Shifeng also urgently needs these students to quickly absorb and digest the systematic knowledge they imparted, and he can't learn the language of the later primary school in one year and the junior high school subjects in three years, but the current students' receptivity can not be compared with the children of later generations, and the age difference between the students is too large, which causes the learning and digestion ability to be uneven, and the excessive pursuit of one-sided language will help the seedlings to help backfire. Therefore, Deng Shifeng chose to take advantage of the evening class to take advantage of the children's habit of listening to stories before going to bed and tell various stories to the students.

The stories he chooses are very specific to the surname, and the stories he chooses are divided into three categories, the first is for younger students, and most of these stories are Aesop's fables and idiom stories, which have certain guides to guide students to distinguish between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and ethics and morality; The second type is for older students, telling more stories about chivalrous legends, Sui and Tang Dynasty heroes, Warring States heroes and Han and Song Dynasty heroes, if the best story and purpose is to establish the students' national concept and the idea of serving the country, the hard one is brainwashing, but anyone knows that any national mission agency in the future will cultivate patriotic feelings, even the world's first United States does the same, and those who hold on to this point are either traitors with ulterior motives or complete fools. As for the third type of stories, it is based on natural knowledge similar to children's encyclopedias, in addition to cultivating students' language and mathematics foundation, this natural knowledge is also an important course in Deng Shifeng's education plan, not only to allow students to acquire a variety of natural knowledge, but also to cultivate their curiosity to know and understand everything in the world.

At the end of the evening class, the students put away all kinds of learning utensils and took turns to wash under the guidance of the older students, and good personal hygiene habits should be cultivated from an early age. After this period of study and life, the children have undergone certain changes compared to the beginning; First of all, under the deterrence of Deng Shifeng's health regulations, every child is no longer in that dirty state, and the little face that was originally hungry due to insufficient nutrition is gradually shining under the sufficient food supply. With the support of a good diet, the children's mental state has also been greatly changed, and they can have enough physical strength and energy to study, exercise and train every day, and even some light physical labor in campus construction is no problem. Under these conditions, boys and girls can't really live in separate rooms, but a curtain is pulled in the middle of the male and female sides to keep it to a minimum, but fortunately, children don't have so many taboos as adults, and there is such a rotating student on both sides of the fire to adjust the firewood in the fire to raise the temperature in the shanty. In order to prevent the children from freezing, Deng Shifeng not only provided the clothes and fabrics collected in the cave to the children to keep them warm, but also collected all the cotton wool and padding in the vehicle cushions to improve the thermal insulation capacity, plus sufficient rations and diet and maintenance of indoor temperature, so that the children could survive this cold winter.

After taking care of the students and going to bed, when Deng Shifeng returned to the shed next to the shed to separate the shack where he lived, he saw Qin Er and Lao Sun Tou sitting in their shack waiting for him.

"Daxian, I heard Luo Dan say, you want to organize people to hunt?!"

Several people have become more familiar with each other after this period of contact, and Qin Er was not polite, and he got straight to the point and told him his intention to come to Deng Shifeng tonight.

"That's right, I asked Luo Dan to organize people after he came back, and I was going to clean up all the beasts from the new village to the mine, is there a problem?"

"He's worried...... Isn't it just that I'm afraid that no one will open up the wasteland and farm the land......" Without waiting for Qin Er to answer, the old grandson interjected with disdain, he was more eager than anyone else to build the blast furnace that Daxian said a day earlier, so as long as it was about the construction of the mine, he would definitely raise his hands in favor.

Qin Er, who was robbed of his face by the old grandson, smiled bitterly, although he was the leading brother in the village, but the old grandson was a generation older than him in terms of seniority, and he naturally did not dare to contradict the elders, so he only smiled bitterly and expressed his worries to Deng Shifeng. Qin Er did not object to Deng Shifeng's plan to organize Luo Dan to organize personnel to hunt wild beasts and clear the field, he was just worried that such an action would draw a large number of laborers, and the young and strong labor in the village was just like that, and every family was making every effort to reclaim new fields for the next year's cultivation, and I heard Luo Dan say that after clearing and killing wild beasts, it was necessary to organize people to prepare to open the road, which would inevitably affect the quantity and quality of land reclamation.

After listening to Qin Er's worries, Deng Shifeng laughed, Qin Er's worries are not unreasonable, although Qin Er supports himself, but in his bones he is still a farmer with traditional farming culture, everything is based on agriculture and farming, and it is impossible for him to be willing to let agricultural construction make way for industrial construction.

"Qin Er, you said, according to the new fields set aside in the village, even if all the land is reclaimed, how much grain can be harvested per mu next year? How much grain can you get from all the fields combined? Deng Shifeng did not directly refute or persuade Qin Er's worries, but asked another question, seeing Daxian ask this, Qin Er also froze, and the various rhetoric he had prepared was blocked back at once, and he kept calculating this number in his mind, but he did not go to the school to receive basic education, and he couldn't figure out the answer Deng Shifeng wanted for a long time.

"It's about 200 catties per mu...... All the ground ...... in the village," Qin Er, who had never been able to figure out the answer, began to seep fine sweat from his head.

"All together thirteen thousand catties!" Lao Sun Tou interjected again, and with a look of color, he quietly erased a calculation table in front of the pond fire with the sole of his shoe, and for the first time, Lao Sun Tou used what he learned from Daxian to calculate a number that he couldn't calculate before, which made him very proud.

"It's only thirteen thousand catties?! Did you make a mistake?! Hearing this number, Qin Er was also taken aback, not because he was frightened by Lao Suntou's ability, but because he didn't expect this number to be so low. 13,000 catties, although he doesn't know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, but he can also think of this grain with his toes, and it is absolutely impossible for the whole village to eat for a year.

"Lao Sun is not wrong, these fields are newly reclaimed raw land, and next year's output will definitely not be up, and even the next year, the year after tomorrow for several consecutive years, the yield of these fields will not be very high." Deng Shifeng nodded and admitted the number calculated by Lao Sun Tou, and when he heard that the great immortals said so, Qin Er was even more anxious.

"Daxian, this is not good, hurry up and organize people to open more fields, if there is only this bit of food, our whole village will be starved to death!" Qin Er's voice was filled with deep eagerness.

"Don't worry...... Lao Sun's calculations were only for the rice fields, and the dry land on the hillsides where corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes were grown, and he didn't count them......

Hearing Deng Shifeng's reassuring and explaining words, Qin Er felt a little relieved in his heart, the people take food as the sky, if the food produced next year is not enough for the people in the village to eat, maybe the people in the village dare not say anything and do anything to Daxian, but they can definitely break their backbone with their fingers. It's just that the heart he just put down hangs with Deng Shifeng's next sentence.

"But I estimate that even if you count the dry land, the food produced is not enough for the people in the village......

Holding down Qin Er, who was about to go berserk, Deng Shifeng told Qin Er his analysis:

"I asked the old people in the village, the weather has been cold in the past few years and there is no way to have a good harvest, and this land is not too fertile, you calculate that the yield of 200 catties per mu is already overestimated, plus you have to prepare for next year's seeds and the loss of harvest...... It's already more optimistic to be able to eat half full......"

Although Deng Shifeng cannot explain that the whole earth is now in the period of the fourth Xiaoice River, the experience of the elders helps him to explain the relationship between temperature and yield, plus the soil quality of this land is in front of him, without years of cultivation, the output of these fields can not support too many people.

"Then what should I do...... Qin Er is a little confused now, he can understand what Daxian said, but the rest of the village can't!

"What to do?!" Deng Shifeng pursed his lips and drew a schematic diagram with a tree branch on the ground: "While I still have some grain on hand, and each family also has some grain in stock, quickly build an iron furnace, and make some iron to make steel and get some private iron to exchange grain outside is a solution. But there is another way, have you thought about it, in the past few years and a few years ago, you were either beaten by the local officials in the north or chased by the landlords in the south, and you can only be beaten passively for so many years, haven't you thought about beating out and doing these dogs?! ”
