Chapter 31: There is no love in life

Winter wheat!!

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, which means that Xin'an Town's grain can be self-sufficient!

"My lord, is that true?" asked one of the deacons excitedly.

"Presumptuous! What is the identity of the lord, how can he speak falsely?" Wang Siping exploded on the spot.

[Old boy, do you want to make trouble? Dare to question your lord in person! Even if you are bold, you can't come in front of my boss, isn't this a trick for me?]

"Yes, the subordinates know that they are wrong, and the subordinates are just too excited for a while... So......" The deacon who spoke out was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down.

"What are you doing here? Get up! You are also worried about farming, how can you say that you are guilty?" Li Kang glared at Wang Siping fiercely and said, "Don't worry, what I said is naturally true!"

As he spoke, he reached out and wiped it on the table, and a bundle of ears of wheat appeared on the desk out of thin air.

The real thing is right in front of you, and everyone can't believe it!

"Okay, okay!" a few old farmers were so excited that they couldn't do it, and they hit the pendulum!

"Let's talk about how many acres of acres should be planted to meet the needs of the town for half a year? How many acres can be cultivated with the manpower of the town? How many waterwheels are needed? How many cows are needed? How many sets of curved plows are needed?" Li Kang asked five questions in a row, like a machine gun.

Suddenly, he thought of a question again: [It seems that the size of the mu in each dynasty and generation is different? And there are various titles such as large mu, small mu, and wide mu. Looking at the deacons of the Agricultural Department of all dynasties and generations below, Li Kang had a headache, it can be imagined that their answers will definitely be different, and when the time comes, Li Kang's head will be blown up, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get an accurate answer.

Also, it seems that the number of acres of white peony and rape in Wang Siping's report earlier did not say which standard it was from.

(Qin Dynasty: 0.991 city mu = 660 square meters; Sui Dynasty: 0.7187 city mu = 479.3 square meters; Tang Dynasty: 0.871 city mu = 581 square meters; Qing Dynasty: 0.9216 city mu = 614.7 square meters; modern one city mu = 667 square meters.) But this is only the official figure, and for various reasons, the people have invented many new terms, whether it is to deceive the government or to fool the common people, resulting in the size of an acre of land not being uniform in the same period. )

Disgusting!

Li Kang burst into tears, and the unification of weights and measures was another problem that needed to be solved urgently.

He suddenly had a feeling that he was doing more and more, this was just a small town of two hundred people, it was really hard to imagine how those professional emperors who ruled thousands of miles of territory and hundreds of millions of people persevered, no wonder all of them collapsed in the middle of the road (except for a few real men)!

He thought about it so much, Wang Siping didn't know that they were pinching their fingers and calculating!

Of course, they are not good at math, but they calculate based on their usual experience, and they tend to calculate faster than the "top math students"!

Otherwise, Chinese farmers are the best people in the world, and they can be called omnipotent.

No, Li Kang just woke up from a headache, and there were already several people over there who had calculated it, but it was Wang Siping, the temporary boss of the Agriculture Division, who was the slowest to calculate.

"You say it first!" Li Kang pointed to the old man who had just been frightened once, in order not to add trouble to himself, he planned to listen to only one person for each question.

"No!" the old man's name was Bai Yang, and when he heard Li Kang call him, he couldn't help but eagerly say: "There are two hundred and fifty-six townspeople, and according to the average consumption of one and a half catties of pasta per meal, three meals a day, one hundred and eighty days in half a year, so that a total of nearly 210,000 catties of flour is consumed, which is 1,800 stones." The yield of wheat per mu varies from one to five, and it is necessary to reclaim 1,200 mu. ”

"1,200 mu?" This figure is certainly not an accurate number, but it is generally reliable, and Li Kang is still very satisfied.

According to the ancient adage 'one husband and five people graze 100 acres', only 120 households are needed to get 1,200 acres of land. Not to mention the help of ploughing cattle and advanced agricultural machinery.

Although there are not so many families of five in the town, the so-called family of five includes the elderly, women and children, and there are two families of five who are young and strong enough.

In other words, it only takes twenty-four young men to take care of 1,200 acres of wheat fields.

Of course, it can't be counted like this, this is just an ideal state, there is a difference between raw and mature fields, unfortunately, all that Li Kang wants to open up is raw fields, and there are still trees growing now!

But twenty-four won't work, then forty-eight, and that's all right!

"Yes, 1,200 acres is not too difficult to bear, and there is even a surplus, depending on the situation, you can reclaim a few more acres. Li Kang nodded and smiled, and said, "Next... This time, it's up to you! Needless to say, the one just said. As he spoke, he pointed to Deacon Gong, who was in charge of Bai Shao.

Judging from his appearance, this Deacon Gong is the youngest among the aging agricultural deacons.

I saw that he was slightly surprised, and he didn't expect Li Kang to call him by name, and then bowed down and said: "My subordinate Gong Tian has turned over, I have seen the lord!" According to Deacon Bai's words, plus this thousand and two acres of land, plus the town's previous field needs, only two or three water trucks for water supply are enough. As for oxen and ploughs, the more the better. ”

"Hehe, you are sincere!" Li Kang pointed at him with some amusement, and said: "In this way, four waterwheels will be built, Wang Siping, you have to go to Wang Dafu and Zhang Zhang to discuss." How much Quyuan plough can have, it depends on how much free the construction department and the general division can have. ”

"No!" Wang Siping replied.

"As for the cows... Anyway, I have to cut down the trees before preparing the land, so I'm not in a hurry, I'll think about how much to give tonight. Isn't the rape field all turned over, and the set of oxen and ploughs just empty, pull it over first, and eat it all the past few days. ”

As early as when he was planting rapeseed, Li Kang had already exchanged two cows and a set of quyuan plows.

The trick is that the cow is actually more expensive than people, and it costs 35 gold a head, doesn't it mean that a good person is the spirit of all things!

As for Quyuan plow, Li Kangyagen will not exchange the second set, this thing is not high-tech, it can be copied in minutes, and he is not stupid, so he won't spend that unjust money!

"Oh, by the way, how many wheat seeds do you need for an acre of land?"

Several people glanced at each other, and finally Wang Siping, who was the boss, said stubbornly: "It's about twenty catties to forty catties." ”

With a "clang", the tea that Li Kang was about to drink fell directly on the table, and at this moment he had the urge to kill.

Nima dared to discuss for a long time, and all the useless work was done, because he couldn't afford to buy wheat seeds at all?

Take the minimum of 20 catties as a calculation, 1,200 mu needs 24,000 catties of wheat, that is, 24,000 points of gold! [You better kill me, Lao Tzu saved for more than 20 days before he saved a thousand points of gold, and the result was only a fraction of the amount. This joke is so cold!]

"You go down first, I want to be quiet!" Li Kang sent everyone away listlessly, he only felt a little loveless now.

[Hey, it seems that it costs 210,000 points of gold to buy flour directly?

PS: There was a major bug in the system panel above, which has been changed.
