In the following days, Tian Fan had a relatively easy life. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he doesn't have the heart to work hard! He just sorted out the new farming methods, intercropping, intercropping, rotation and so on. Various plants need different nutrients and planting environments, and according to this characteristic, they can be provided with a better growth environment, so that they can obtain greater benefits.

Tian Fan learned some plant disciplines in his last life, and his family lived in the countryside, and he began to help his family farm from the age of six or seven, until he went to high school and lived in school, and he was no stranger to the cultivation of grain, and now the concept of cultivation is definitely more advanced than at that time, so basically as long as he proposed, it has a certain value. He worked hard to write down everything he could think of about farming, these things were very important, and they would become the basic textbooks of scientific farming in the Han Dynasty in the future!

Tian Fan was just able to recognize the words of that era, and the writing was very unsightly, he was working hard to practice calligraphy, and it was difficult for people to look down on them if they couldn't write a good hand in this era. These materials were all written by Xiao Liu'er and Tian Wu for him, but fortunately, the son didn't like to write in the past, and the brother and sister didn't think much about it. When Tian Fan was learning to write, Tian Wu, a scholar who was several years younger than him, also followed him, and Xiao Liu'er also took the time to learn with him, so they were also literate. Although these materials are important, they are not in a hurry. Spring ploughing was obtained at the end of February and the beginning of March, and now there are still two or three months, and he can slowly recall and try to write as fully as possible.

This year's New Year is very lively, people seem to be celebrating the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, from the 25th day of the lunar month to the fifth day of the first month, the whole Xiapi City is quiet. It's a pity that there were no firecrackers or lion and dragon dances at that time, and no matter how lively it was, it was trivial for Tian Fan. He wanted to make firecrackers, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it.

After the New Year, Tian Fan and Chen Deng went to Tuntian to see the field several times, and this year's farming technology should be reformed, and they must prepare in advance and mobilize the people who cultivate.

The so-called tuntian is arranged by the government to arrange land cultivation for the landless people, most of whom are displaced by wars or natural disasters. The government provides seeds for cattle and farming tools, and farmers hand over the harvest according to a certain percentage. Under normal circumstances, the grain handed over by the peasants accounts for more than 50% of the harvest, so many people in Tuntian will starve to death! In addition to handing over grain, the young and middle-aged people of Tuntian will also participate in military training during the slack season, which is the so-called Tuntian Army, and they will also go to the battlefield when necessary! Although their training is not sufficient, and their combat effectiveness is not flattering, if it is a defensive battle, they can also be of great use. In the event of a foreign war, the regular army will be the main force of the war, while the Tuntian army will play the role of transporting baggage and garrisoning the city. Of course, in ancient times, in addition to the standing army directly under the central government, other armies should also refer to cultivation when necessary, such as when the grain is harvested.

The tuntian in Xuzhou began in the Tao Qian era, and there was a massive increase in the influx of refugees. The number of people in each Tuntian point is about 100. The reason why I want to be left and right is mainly because some people who dragged their families came to Xuzhou, and it was difficult to separate them. On the premise of ensuring the existence of a certain number of strong laborers, it is also a basic principle to appropriately increase some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and at the same time, it can also make Tuntianzu feel like he is in his hometown. At the same time, each field site should be equipped with one or several experienced veteran farmers who are responsible for guiding others in farming.

As for the theories that Tian Fan said, the old farmers elected by the various tuntian points did not believe it. First of all, Tian Fan is too young to believe him. We are all people who have been planting all our lives, and you don't have any hair and say that we don't grow well, who believes it? But as soon as they heard Chen Deng's introduction, they knew that the little kid standing in front of them who had not yet grown up was Tian Fan, so they listened to Professor Tian Fan respectfully. …,

Last year's locust plague achieved Tian Fan's reputation, his name can be said to be a household name in Xuzhou, and some people even say that he is the reincarnation of the gods, if it is not the reincarnation of the gods, how can the locust plague be cured? The old peasants can disobey no one in terms of farming, but they can't disobey Tian Fan. No matter how good you are, can someone have Mr. Tian Niu? They accurately predicted the occurrence of the locust plague, and they also came up with a way to deal with the locust plague! In fact, having said that, for the people of Tuntiandian, Tian Fan and Chen Deng can completely suppress people and make them obey by order, but they didn't do that.

It took Tian Fan a long time to explain to them the cultivation methods. For those ordinary theories, they will believe it with skepticism, but everyone has doubts about the use of farm fertilizer, including Chen Deng, after all, no one has done this in that era. There was no way, Tian Fan had to suggest that Chen Deng give an order! Chen Deng completely believed in Tian Fan, so he did give the order.

Farm fertilizer must be made before use, that is, the process of microbial fermentation of manure, so that the organic matter in the manure is reduced, and the nutrients of inorganic salts are increased. This process will cause heat, and if the fertilizer is applied to the crop, it is raw fertilizer (not talking about manure), then the growth of the crop will be slowed down, or even directly killed by heat.

Tian Fan made a detailed explanation of the method of dung in his agricultural book, but he was not afraid that they would not be able to learn it! Although they have doubts now, Tian Fan believes that after the grain harvest, these people will not be suspicious. He believes that by that time, there will be no more open defecation! At that time, not to mention the countryside, even in the corners of Xiapi City, there would be some yellow and white things from time to time. This is a multi-kill thing, Tian Fan must insist!

He remembered a phenomenon that was prevalent in the countryside when he was a child! At that time, there were often many old people walking around the village and outside the village during the slack season, carrying a frame on their backs and holding a fork or a small shovel in their hands! What are they doing? If you haven't seen it, you won't be able to guess! They're picking up manure! That is, they are collecting manure! Pigs, dogs, horses, cows, sheep, people, collect whatever they encounter! You read that right, I wrote it right, I can tell you very responsibly, I'm not crazy!

It may not be difficult for modern people to imagine, but it's not hard to understand. As the best fertilizer before the invention of chemical fertilizer, manure is the most real treasure for those old farmers who have never eaten a full meal in their lives! Tian Fan believes that when farmers realize the role of manure, the sanitation situation in the city will be greatly improved!

For ordinary people who are not tuntian, they cannot use simple orders to promote planting methods. Tian Fan's suggestion to Chen Deng was to find a piece of land, so that they could all see it, and plant it according to the method he gave, which should be regarded as a test field. If the effect is really good, then these people will automatically follow suit.

After contacting Chen Deng a few times, the relationship between the two has heated up in a straight line, and it has reached the level of being called brothers! Tian Fan entrusted Chen Deng to help him select 300 strong men in the Tuntian Army, and he planned to train the troops according to the methods he knew in later generations to see how the effect was. If the effect is good, it is recommended that Liu Bei promote the whole army. The reason why Liu Bei was not notified was because he didn't remember much and didn't dare to take it out now, otherwise it would be ugly when he saw it.

In addition, Tian Fan went to the place where the craftsmen worked a few more times. Liu Beijun's few homeless artisans and those recruited from this refugee were all concentrated at the junction of Surabaya and Shushui, southeast of Xiapi City. Surrounded by water on both sides, it is extremely easy to get water, and Surabaya is relatively safer to protect against threats from the West.

The place was surrounded by a simple wall made of wood, and about 3,000 craftsmen gathered, as well as a small number of artisan families. Of the 3,000 craftsmen, nearly 2,500 were selected from the refugees. …,

Most of the local artisans in Xuzhou have families and businesses, and they only come here in case of emergency. Most of the local artisans who live here are homeless. These craftsmen who fled have increased the number of craftsmen several times, thinking about the huge role they will play in the future, Tian Fan is very confident in the future of Xuzhou! Most of the families of local craftsmen in Xuzhou have been arranged to live in Xiapi, while most of the families of the craftsmen in the disaster have not been properly arranged, and they also live here with the craftsmen. The purpose of Tian Fan's visit is to arrange the families of the craftsmen, to see the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, and to find some work with them.

In fact, it is said that there are 3,000 craftsmen, and there are not many people who can really complete the creation of a certain weapon independently, most of them are apprentices and the like, and under the leadership of a few masters, they can complete a certain job.

These craftsmen are all craftsmen in the army, equivalent to half a soldier, so their direct boss is also a soldier. In Tao Qian's time, these craftsmen were free-range like sheep, and after Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, he immediately implemented semi-military management of the craftsmen and appointed a chief.

The head of the craftsman battalion was a lieutenant named Zhou Ting, who was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, seven feet eight inches tall, and had a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He has a thick beard, hard roots like iron, a black and bright face, big eyes, and walks like a gust of wind, looking like a standard soldier! It's a pity, the broken part is that he doesn't have long hair! So much so that when Tian Fan saw him for the first time, and saw his shiny head and thick beard, what he thought was that this guy's hair was growing in the wrong place!

This person was originally a member of Liu Bei's personal guards, and he followed Liu Bei from Zhuo County to the present, fighting more than 100 battles of all sizes, and he must be the first in each battle. Fighting a war is bound to kill people, and it is a very dangerous thing for a person to charge forward every time, and Lady Luck will not always favor the same person. Zhou Ting is a living example, very unfortunate, perhaps very lucky, in a battle, he had his left arm cut off. Liu Bei was a person who did not forget his roots, so he married him and had children, and let him become a lieutenant in the relatively safe artisan camp. The daughter-in-law is not beautiful, but her ass is big, and she is a good child at first glance! Sure enough, less than two years after getting married, he gave birth to a big fat boy, and he is very satisfied with his current life. In fact, for the simple ancient Chinese peasants, their greatest wish was: peasant women, mountain springs, and a little field!

Zhou Ting knew Tian Fan, they had met a few times and had spoken a few words. When Tian Fan was a military advisor to Liu Bei, he had already served in the craftsman camp, and he listened to what his former colleagues said about Tian Fan's improvement of seed farming tools and cultivation methods. Having been hungry since childhood, he was full of reverence and admiration for those who could find ways to keep others from starving. This is a simple person, and he is also a person who admits death. Liu Bei gave him food, and he gave Liu Bei his life. Tian Fan gave him hope that he would not starve from now on, and gave him hope that his son would not have to starve from now on, so he respected Tian Fan from the bottom of his heart. Hearing that Tian Fan was coming, he greeted him early.
