Chapter 21: Rice Planting (Three Watches, Asking for Votes)
Following the direction pointed by Li Feng, it turned out to be a muddy field.
On the left side of this muddy field is a hillside, and not far from the hillside is a small dirt hill, and on the right side is a small river.
The area of the whole muddy land is not small, at least 34 acres in size.
Since it was already winter and it was in the dry season, there was no water in the muddy field at all, and the soil was cracked, opening up one after another. Look at the black soil, there is no doubt that it is very fertile.
The whole muddy field is not actually a completely flat piece, and one end is relatively low-lying. Judging from the condition of the dirt, it must have just dried up.
Looking at this land, Li Feng's eyes flashed with excitement, and he had already begun to think about how to use this feng shui treasure land.
However, Li Feng didn't know that this piece of feng shui treasure land in his eyes, in the eyes of the seventh master, it was absolutely a super wasteland that could no longer be wasted. Naturally, the Seventh Master thought that this Li Feng was crazy. After all, only a fool would say, I want this land.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense, just say it, I want this land, can I do it in the end?"
Li Feng didn't care what the Seventh Master thought, in his heart, this land was the best and most suitable.
"You .......... Rou Niang, come here, this kid is crazy, he actually said that he wants this land"
Looking at the nervous guy in front of him, he was so happy that the seventh master was angry. However, he knew Li Feng's stinky temper well, and knew that this guy was definitely not joking with him. Moreover, with this kid's stinky temper, that is, once he decides something, ten cows will not be able to pull it back.
And just now, when he saw Rou Niang and Yaya following behind, he immediately beckoned them to come over, wanting them to help persuade Li Feng together.
Things are not complicated, they can be explained clearly in two sentences, so Rou Niang quickly knew what was going on.
"Brother Li, why did you choose such a piece of land. You must know that this land cannot grow food at all. It's the dry season, and once it's another season, it's full of water, and you can't stop it. If you plant wheat, you'll definitely die of soaking."
When Rou Niang heard this, she was immediately anxious. You know, this land is the foundation of life. If this Li Feng chooses such a piece of land, what will he live on in the future.
In her opinion, it is probably because Li Feng has no experience in farming at all, so he doesn't understand the situation. Therefore, he immediately stepped aside and carefully explained to him.
"That's right, little madman, there's no way to grow food in this land. Well, if you want this land, ...... You can pay a little money, even if the village buys it for you, how about it. However, you are still obedient now, choose a good piece of land for Lao Tzu."
Seeing that Li Feng didn't seem to have any reaction, this seventh master could only be ruthless. scolded secretly, this kid is really obsessed. I thought, don't you want this wasteland, just give it to you. I originally wanted to say that I would give it to Li Feng directly, but after thinking about it, this is not in accordance with the rules. However, after Li Feng casually paid some money, there was no problem.
"Who said that this land can't grow food, not only can I plant, but ah, my harvest of one acre of land is comparable to three or four acres of land planted by others, believe it or not. Okay, since you say what you say, Seventh Master, then this piece of land should be bought by me with money, and as for choosing another piece of land, you can always watch and help me get a piece of it casually."
Originally, Li Feng wanted to say, I want this land. However, looking at Rou Niang beside her, her face was full of worry, and she finally swallowed her words back. I thought, forget it, since this "waste land" in everyone's eyes can be sold to himself, nothing else matters. As for the other piece of land, then take it.
As for going to the land to choose the land, forget it, I don't plan to plant it anyway. When the time comes, see which one wants to plant a little more, and give it to him to plant, which is also a good thing, isn't it?
"Just this wasteland, you can grow food, don't talk nonsense, you are an old man, my land for decades is planted in vain. When the water came, everything was soaked. One acre is planted, which is worth three or four acres of people. Bragging is really not a draft. Kindness...... Wait, you kid can't be serious, can you really farm this land? ”
When the seventh master heard that Li Feng was finally willing to choose another piece of land, the stone in his heart finally fell. After listening to Li Feng's words again, he immediately began to criticize loudly. I really think that I have lived to be a dog in the past few decades, and I still think that the entire Datang people are stupid.
However, soon, the old man's expression when he looked at Li Feng became weird. With his knowledge of this kid, there should never be such a brain short circuit today... Well, it's the behavior of a short-circuit in the brain. Moreover, looking at this kid's appearance, it doesn't look like a joke at all.
Could it be that this kid really has some thaumaturgy to grow food in this kind of wasteland.
If that's the case, that's pretty remarkable. In the past few years, because there has been no war, coupled with the emperor's hard work, the life of the people can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment.
As soon as life is good, there will be more and more such people. Although the land is still abundant now, the seventh master is worried that there will not be so much land by then. There is no land, how will I live in the future? If only this kid could... That......
", do you think I'm the kind of person who talks about it. Old man, I can tell you unequivocally that I can really grow this land. ”
Looking at the side of me, I still don't believe in the seventh master, as well as Rou Niang, and even the little girl is also a pair, big brother, are you bragging. Li Feng knew that he should give them a lesson today, otherwise, he, an outstanding graduate of the Agricultural University and an advanced worker of the agricultural station, would not be underestimated by them.
"Indeed, such land, although the soil is fertile, is absolutely not suitable for growing crops such as wheat."
Speaking of this, Li Feng deliberately paused and looked at the other party, I knew that it was like this, that happy look. I thought, "Be happy."
According to Li Feng's previous life, he heard countless small meetings of the conference, as well as the experience of leadership talks, and behind this, there is no doubt that there will be a word. That's "but", as long as the word comes out, it's definitely a change of wind and clouds, lightning and thunder, violent storms, and mudslides.
"But what I'm going to plant is not wheat, it's rice."
"Well, you say, what do you want to plant, rice? That thing, can it be grown on our side, isn't it only grown in the south, it's too cold on our side to grow it, right? ”
When the seventh master heard that this Li Feng was going to plant rice, he was immediately dumbfounded. He'd heard of it, but it was only grown in the South. Could it be that we can grow it here, no?
Li Feng had no choice but to start slowly popularizing science with them.
What are you kidding, is this Chang'an cold? Chang'an, which is Xi'an in his own era, is it colder than Heilongjiang. Heilongjiang is also one of the largest rice producers in China.
Although, due to the temperature problem, in this Chang'an, nearby, it can't be like that side, around Qingming, just plant rice. Qingming can't do it, I'll go to the Dragon Boat Festival, people plant two seasons, I only plant one season, okay.
Although in this era, there were no chemical fertilizers, and there were no hybrid rice or anything like that. However, with this fertile muddy land, as well as farmhouse fertilizer, plus Li Feng's relatively confident technology. I don't dare to say more, this mu yield is five or six hundred catties, and he still dares to guarantee it.
Compared with other people's mu yield of 100 catties, one mu of land is equivalent to other people's three or four acres, Li Feng is still conservatively estimated.
"Oh, yes, great, big brother, we'll grow rice. Yaya hasn't eaten rice yet, well, and I haven't seen what rice looks like."
After Li Feng finished speaking, he immediately received the full support of the little girl. However, this girl's support, in Li Feng's opinion, as she said, wants to taste the taste of rice, wants to see what this rice looks like, that's all.
"Ah....... say that, it's really good, it's good. If it's really like what you say, then it's a great thing of great merit. No, I have to gather people immediately, go and sort out all the muddy and low-lying land, and then plant all the rice. One acre of land, if you can really make three or four hundred catties of grain as you said. Lao Tzu called on all the villagers to turn all the land into paddy fields........."
After listening to Li Feng's words, the Seventh Master's eyes immediately began to glow. If one acre of land can produce three or four hundred catties of grain, then it will be worth it. In this way, isn't it all going to be rich?
"I said, Seventh Master, don't get excited. With such a big person, how can you still say that the wind is the rain. This is a big matter related to everyone's survival, in order to be safe. You see if this will work, it's up to me, try it first, if it can really be done, then talk about it, how. ”
Looking at this old man, he looked anxious, but Li Feng was in a hurry. Although he is very sure of this matter, this matter is too important to be so rash.
The most important thing is that this big guy has no experience with this kind of rice. Li Feng didn't want to, he was dragged to the field by Zhang San today, and he was invited to Tianwei by Li Si every day, so he couldn't get by.
Not only that, before the matter was not successful, Li Feng also asked everyone to keep it secret, at least, to keep this secret in the village to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In this regard, the seventh master patted his chest and promised, not to mention that it will be kept secret now, even if it will be successful in the future, as long as Li Feng does not nod, it will be absolutely confidential, and the secret will never leave the village.
In this regard, Li Feng could only shake his head and smile. In ancient times, the apprentices of the church starved to death. Do not pay attention to intellectual property rights, only the broom cherishes itself.
