The poultry and livestock to be raised in the future did not come with the first development team.

But after that, Zhan Qiumeng felt that the time was almost up, and then sent it over, after all, at the beginning, they had to be busy opening up the fields and had no time to take care of it.

When everything is stable, the Fan family manor will send poultry and livestock over.

After the poultry and livestock are brought over, they have to be raised and then sent to the next village.

Transportation is a very painful thing, especially for poultry and livestock, so Fan Jingjing is ready to let the village by village relay to send these animals over, so they just need to take care of them for a while.

If you continue to transport poultry and livestock, you will not be able to eat well and sleep well, you must wait for a while, and the poultry and livestock will slowly grow up and develop.

When they are developing, they will send the defense chicks, ducklings, and piglets over.

Fan Jingjing once read the literature, the biggest difference between the pigs of later generations and the pigs of the Tang Dynasty is whether they are fanned or not, even if it is a wild boar, the boar does not have the taste of fanning, it is not very delicious, and there is a kind of smell.

However, if the boar is fanned and let it grow, there is no way to continue breeding.

So some must be kept, and in order to avoid inbreeding, some breeding pigs must be left each time, and breeding pigs must be exchanged, and then the breeding pigs must continue to mate with sows.

They had to clear not a small field, but a large field, and after observation, they established the scope of irrigation and determined the direction of the future reservoir, leaving the reservoir for the project, and the rest of the land was opened up into fields first.

For Fan Jingjing, according to the results of observation, in addition to the density of wild beasts, the most important thing for many so-called wastelands and fields that can be cultivated is whether there is a constant water source than the density of wild beasts.

Although it is possible to farm, it is very risky.

Human life, as well as crops in the fields, need water.

Without water, even if the plant can absorb water in the field and grow, it will not grow well.

Without food, there is no way for humans to survive.

Carrying water from a great distance is a very luxurious act in itself, so most of the fields in this era are to look at Amada.

Humans cannot live without water.

Therefore, at the first moment when Fan Jingjing received the emperor's order, after thinking carefully, he asked Sun Erlang to arrange someone to find a water source.

Investigate the nearby water source that can be stably led to the ditch, and consider the place as the first development option, and of course, the second depends on whether there is soil near the water source that can be cultivated.

In fact, most rivers flow downstream to a part of the water flow smoothly, which will produce soil accumulation.

Stacked soils tend to be very fertile, but have a drawback.

Depending on the topography of the low-lying area, it is easy to flood, and the place is prone to flooding.

Datang's disaster relief capabilities are very weak, and there is no emergency warning system, and when the flood comes, people often only have the fate of extinction and cannot prepare in advance.

This is a very professional job, and when Fan Jingjing was doing a geographical survey, she trained relevant personnel to complete the survey work.

The work of the Ministry of Agriculture was thrown to Fan Jingjing's head, she had to transfer some of these people over, and add some people, so that these people who have been trained, and then train these new personnel, and this time the engineering team, some of them are old employees with experience, and more are new employees.

The location they chose, it took a day to walk before they could reach the Fan family's manor.

Although the land is fertile, there is no water nearby.

According to the Geography Department, there is no water source in the area, but there is a water source flowing through the mountains five kilometers away, but the river flows elsewhere.

If you want to make a reservoir and divert the water to it, you have to raid the river and create a lake downstream, or even find a way to divert the water to another place to export, so as not to cause the problem of water accumulation.

The difficulty of the whole project, because of the relationship between the terrain and the flow direction, is not too difficult, as long as you open an opening at the very beginning, the water will flow down naturally.

Originally, if the river was automatically attacked, the river would run around, and it was very simple to guide the direction of the water flow, so dig the low place lower, as long as most of it belongs to the lowest place in the vicinity, the water flow will not be diverted, that is, the location of the water tank.

So they didn't divert the water from the beginning, but they did it right first, so that they could make sure that when the water came down, it wouldn't cause disaster.

Although it sounds like a high-end technology, it is also necessary to measure various high drops, but these measurement techniques are actually repeated and ordinary learning, that is, learned, that is, repeated as a continuous registration, and then draw a contour map, and then draw the most suitable flow direction nearby.

The flow direction of the water is not necessarily straight, only the level that is most in line with the direction of the water flow, the life can be stronger, although the forced drawing of a straight line in irrigation, it will be much more convenient, but now there is no good way to prevent the impact force, and the bent water can irrigate more places, the water is not only one, but also must be branched out. Datang does not have machine farming, so there is no need to tidy up the fields. Determining the route of the branch reservoir in full accordance with the instructions of the contour line is the most cost-effective method.

For women, doing engineering work is still relatively tiring, and it is good to be able to help bulldoze the earth, most of which are to help make meals and collect sundries.

In the absence of the assistance of the machine, most of these jobs that require strength are still done by men, of course, the more strength is produced, the more the meal must be eaten, the relative amount of women is still less than that of men, in terms of the proportion of food, whether it is to raise women or men, it is the same, women do less and eat less, and men do more and eat more.

"How's the digging going?" Zhan Qiumeng came to the engineering team to ask.

"There are still a dozen days to go. Even if you prepare the fields now, you won't have time to sow seeds, right? It's getting colder, and there's no greenhouse here. ”

"We have enough food to survive the winter, but we will grow some vegetables that can be produced in a few months, especially cabbage, cabbage, and Chinese cabbage to help us survive the winter, even if we eat a little less, these foods can still bring a sense of satiety, and we can use this time to nourish the land, so that the next year's cultivation can be smoother, and we can also open up more fields."

"It's useless to open up too much, and if you open up a place that can't be irrigated by the water network, it's also in vain." The people of the engineering team didn't have the heart to please Zhan Qiumeng.

There are too many women in the Fan family's manor.

"There are some places where you can use the power of waterwheels to carry water for irrigation, right?"

Zhan Qiumeng had seen the design drawings of the water network, as well as the topographic maps they had drawn, which was also one of the important abilities that she would be sent out to be a pioneer.

Zhan Qiumeng can interpret maps, but he does not have the ability to make maps.

But Zhan Qiumeng's brain is flexible enough, and she also has a clear understanding of the equipment owned by the Fan family manor, she knows that the rotation of the waterwheel can raise the water level, and there is no need for manpower, if the waterwheel can improve the ability to transport water, it will open up more fields, expand the scale of the settlement, and the construction of the waterwheel can also use the leisure time to let people learn more.

What's more, the waterwheel can be used to build a few more future workshops or flour.

Since it will be built sooner or later, it is possible to use the capacity of the waterwheel to open up more fields and set the plan in advance.

She took out the contour map and drew dots at some points to discuss with the engineering team members.

"I will send your opinions back to the Fan family manor, otherwise we will project and spend more time in this place, there will be opinions in the manor, and the reasons must be explained, lest they think we are lazy."

The main person in charge of the project will still be the main person when the next time they choose the land, and they will even arrive before the second group, and where they have built a base, the second group will not wait until the next year's harvest to gather.

The Fan family manor has already begun to recruit people, and it has really been decided that it is not Zhan Qiumeng who will expand the speed, but these engineering teams, and the engineering team will continue to train new people, and it is expected that the training will appear a hundred times the number of people, so all the people must study hard, because they will soon have to go out of the division, and the speed depends entirely on the speed of their division.

As for the manpower, they will re-recruit people, and these people, they also know that they will become professionals in the future, and they will no longer be farmers.

In fact, more young people want to get out of the job of farmers, they have been farmers all their lives, but young people want a different life from their parents the most.

They want to run in the wider wilderness and see new landscapes, rather than working in the fields day in and day out, and they can accept food even if it is a little more expensive, as long as they can get enough to buy food.

Hearing what they are going to do next, they also know that their next work will not be finished, and the new manpower to be trained is not so fast, unless they join the Fan family engineering team, you must know that the strongest person in the team has a lot of knowledge to train, and only they can lead the entire engineering team.

New settlements also have the obligation to accommodate people.

It is estimated that there will be conflicts with local large landowners.

The crowd dispatch of Fan Jingjing's Fan family manor is not a one-time dispatch, but according to the time point, and some professional workers must be dispatched later, because only when the local settlement is completely built, can it play a role in sending people.

For a person who has made a wasteland, the tools that have been done are more important than the workers, and the workers can also drive the local business life when they arrive in the local area.

The first batch of settlements opened by Fan Jingjing was not aimed at all farmers, but most of them were farmers who could support the local middle land.

With the local middle land as the center, it will develop in all directions and provide benefits in all directions.

The second group of people to be sent out is actually not a special person, but a chef, and the next is the workshop of daily necessities.

If you don't have customers who eat out, there's no way to keep the restaurant going.

Each site is self-sufficient, of course, when they settle down in that place, the engineering team will still leave a blueprint for the people below, so that they know where the water resources can continue to expand, as long as the water resources can be expanded, it is not difficult to find a piece of land that can be cultivated, even if there is not enough soil in this place, you can also carry the soil from other places, and you can cultivate.

Water is a first-class and most important thing for a place.

It is still difficult to find a place where there is no sun, and the sun will shine on the earth and sprinkle evenly on the land.

In the south, because the sun can be more abundant, it can be harvested three times a year, and the sun in the north is slightly less, and the energy is insufficient in winter, so it can be harvested twice a year. However, the current Datang people actually only have one gain.

Comparatively, there are not many people gathered in this north.

Of course, the amount of food is the number of people who can live.

In the end, people will still fill in the land, as long as the fields are opened up, which can be cultivated, and some people will be eliminated every year in the famine.

In most cases, human beings are in the elimination of survival, and it is not easy to survive, but the difficulty of parents does not mean that it will not be easy for children.

Each person is an individual. Human qualities can be educated, but most of the time education will always be deviated and will not continue.

What's more, education is often not necessarily your own children, and it often deviates from your educational philosophy when learning.

Then, with a comprehensive learning example, the role model has never been good.

In any case, the education of strangers has certain results.

The educational achievements of Fan Jingjing's Fan Family School are also very significant.

The Fan Family School is discussing whether to send out a team to educate the branch of the Fan Family Manor, or let the branch of the Fan Family Manor find a teacher by itself.

"Education can be said to be the creation of ideas, and for Fan's Manor, the creation of ideas is very important.

Because we are different from ordinary Datang people, we are special, so the education we give is also representative, in fact, people who have been infected by Fan's Manor can experience this difference. ”

Fan Jingjing was discussing the venue, trying to say, in fact, after a certain period of education, although the prince and the princess are still young, they are already able to educate new students as a teacher, they continue to ask for Fan Jingjing, and then digest and absorb the nutrients they have obtained before distributing them.

However, the days of the Fan Family School's operation, after all, are only half a year, and it is not easy for students to learn spiritually, even if they are very hard-working students, they are now half a bucket of water.

The prince and princess themselves are not beginners, so after Fan Jingjing's point of view, their progress is very fast, far from being comparable to the students of the Fan Family Manor.
