When the road repair was settled, Liu Xian rushed out of the city to inspect farming the next day.

Although it took a few days to inspect some time ago, every time I looked at Liu Xian, I couldn't help but touch my forehead.

Without him, the grain cultivation in this era is too rough.

Although Liu Xian has never been in the field or grown grain in modern times, he is not a person who does not divide grains. There is still a basic common sense in intensive cultivation to increase grain output.

At present, it is still basically rough cultivation of slash-and-burn farming. As soon as the peasants ploughed the land, sprinkled the grain seeds, and then lay down and watched the sky to eat.

The plough of the Han Dynasty was a straight plough, which was divided into double and single ploughs, and was basically carried by two oxen. But there are not many cattle, the top livestock in the agricultural era. Often, one cow is shared in one township and one pavilion, so we can see how efficient it is.

As for watering and pest control, planting crops according to the season, these concepts are still in their infancy.

For example, although Emperor Ling's meeting overturned, it was not used for agricultural production at all, and watering still relied on going to the river to pick it up.

Then there is the twentieth solar term that we all know in modern times, although it has been popularized throughout the country in the Qin and Han dynasties. But Lingling is located in Xiangxi, and if the grain here is planted properly, it can be harvested twice a year!

None of the above problems are actually problems. Because, a fish in the long river of history - Liu Xian is here!

Two oxen for a straight plow? It's okay, let's make a zigzag plow. Didn't take advantage of the rollover? It's okay, find someone to find the drawings and make them ourselves.

"So reading more historical novels still has an effect. Who knows when, eating hot pot and singing songs, you will accidentally go back to ancient times? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Xian fell into deep regret and self-blame. I should have voted for those novels in the first place, a monthly pass. They're all good people!

It's summer, and the crops that are perfect for planting are soybeans and rice. However, soybeans cannot be used as a staple food, and eating too much is harmful.

As for rice planting, Liu Xian also issued an edict early. After this harvest, the whole county must plant rice again! It is urged by the county and township pavilion chiefs and the local three elder superintendents.

At the beginning, Liu Xian was also afraid that he had no prestige after all, and the people below him would disobey him. No, the later development was unexpectedly smooth.

In the Han Dynasty, agriculture was attached great importance to it from the beginning of the first generation. Emperors such as Wenjing would personally work in the fields every year as an encouragement and example. The local officials also made exhortation to farmers as their basic business.

To put it simply, ordinary civilians do not necessarily have the courage to cut people. But there is a lot of enthusiasm for farming.

(Note: Looking to the future, a vegetable garden has been opened up on the roof of the building of urban residents.) There is no colonization of aliens, and the Chinese do not go to Mars. )

Liu Xian came to a farmland, a rare plain in Lingling. After all, it is located in Jingnan, which is hilly, and there are not many paddy fields suitable for rice.

"Uncle, can I harvest the food at home?"

Liu Xian went to the ridge of the field, an old farmer who was resting, and his beard was about fifty or sixty white, and he made a salute.

"Take, take. Who is this child? ”

The old man calmly accepted Liu Xian's salute, and he didn't even return the salute. Then he looked at Liu Xian, who was dressed in wealth and wealth, accompanied by more than a dozen armor soldiers. It's strange to a rich boy how to run in the countryside.

Seeing this, Liu Xian didn't care, and he didn't feel that an old man was disrespectful to him.

In ancient times, because of the level of production, diet and medical reasons, the average life expectancy was not high, and the elderly were very respectful.

Especially in the Han Dynasty, the system of respecting the elderly can be called terrifying. Privileges include, but are not limited to, not paying homage to officials, being invited to drink, being exempt from taxes, not punishing the elderly, and if the crime of violence against the elderly is the same as "disobedience......

Although later generations inherited the policy of respecting the elderly, only the Han Dynasty was actually fully implemented, so the Han Dynasty can be said to be the happiest period for the elderly in ancient times.

"Boy Liu Xian, I've seen my father-in-law. Tim is the son of Taishou, and now he is busy with farming, so he came to see the villagers, and by the way, he saw that there was any problem, which could be solved by the Taishou Mansion. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Taishou Gongzi." The old man was surprised at first, and the high-ranking bureaucrats of the family also cared about this vulgar agricultural matter.

"If you want to talk about the problem, there are a lot of problems. First of all, there are ploughing oxen, my township is fine, there are two ploughing oxen to plough the land, as for the neighboring villages, there is none. ”

"Someone, write it down. Well, tomorrow will gather all the craftsmen in the middle and make the plough. At the same time, the cattle of the whole county are counted and then distributed. ”

Liu Xian thought for a while when he heard this, and then ordered a few words to the crowd around him.

"Childe, what is this Quyuan plow?" An attendant dressed as a scribe, with arrows and pen and ink in his hand, asked aloud as he recorded.

Scene people, how can there be no accompanying secretary? In the past, Liu Xianke was envious, but unfortunately there were almost no literate women, and the literate men were a minority.

"Don't ask, I'll direct the craftsmen to build later" Liu Xian replied, and continued to ask: "Boss, what other questions do you think?" ”

"Although Taishou has an edict, let us plant rice again. But I have been farming all my life, and I have never heard of the saying that you can harvest two crops a year. ”

When the old man saw Liu Xian's board, it was like that.

He hadn't heard anything about Qu Yuanli, but after all, he had lived most of his life, and he didn't pay so much attention to curiosity. For the two familiars, which is a matter related to their own family, they are quite concerned.

"Uncle, you can rest assured, this can be guaranteed."

"By the way, I just saw that there were several fields empty, why didn't I go to farm? It's not that the villagers are lazy. ”

Liu Xian also went out of the city several times, and he always saw several pieces of uncultivated land. It stands to reason that now is not "the rich have no land, and the poor have no land", so how can there be no land without farming?

"Childe has lived in the high hall for a long time, and he doesn't know about this field. The land has been cultivated for several years, and it has to be left to be fattened. And some of the land is so poor that there is really no harvest, and even the seeds will be lost. ”

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Liu Xian was enlightened. If the field is cultivated all year round, it will lose nutrients from the land. The ancients didn't have much fertilizer, so they could only leave it empty and leave it to time.

"Hey, isn't it about fertilizer! Small question, by the way, how to make fertilizer? ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, Liu Xian's liberal arts that he chose to study back then. Although I have never heard of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or anything, the famous Jin Ke La is still familiar. But if you hear it, you won't make it, how can you memorize the periodic table?

"I knew I was going to cross, and my son should have chosen science!"

Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to go all over the world. When Liu Xian deeply understood this sentence, it was too late.

Liberal arts students should not cross, it is easy to be anxious and cause hair loss.

"Don't panic, don't panic, there is a problem but it's not big." Liu Xian cheered himself up in his heart, it is true that these chemical inorganic fertilizers will not be made, and organic fertilizers are still no problem.

"Uncle, I am familiar with the Six Classics, and I have also read a few miscellaneous books. It is recorded in miscellaneous books that plant ash can be used as fertilizer, and it can be re-fertilized when exposed to the ground. Also, human and animal droppings are better! In the book, if this method is followed, the grain will be twice as much. ”

"This, human and animal feces, will it be too dirty......" The old man obviously hadn't heard of it, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

"Uncle, the so-called heaven and earth are divided into everything, there is yin and yang, and life and death are determined. Endless comings and goings, endlessly, this Doyle. Therefore, there is also a reincarnation ...... grains."

Liu Xianba pulled a lot, and the old man didn't understand, but he thought it was very powerful.

After Liu Xian introduced himself to his father-in-law, he did not forget to tell the scribe to write it down. Make up your mind to report this law to the boss, and strive to quickly implement the entire Liu Beijun force.

Without him, if the people of the world can eat one more bite of food, they will have one more chance of survival.

"It's a pity that sweet potatoes are in South Asia. When Wuhou fights Meng Shu, see if you can pass through Nanzhong. Or send someone to Jiaozhou to see if you can find it. ”

Liu Xian remembered that the population exploded during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition to the policy of apportioning the land into the mu at that time, productivity and medicine were mature. The biggest meritorious person is probably sweet potatoes.

Set a small goal first, Jing Chu is familiar, and the world is full!
