Chapter 69: The Next Seed

"Yes, the water in the field was suitable, but the day before yesterday, the water in the river swelled, and with the rainfall, the field was flooded again."

Han Mu: "Why are there only a few of you, can you plant so many fields?" ”

"Ouch, where can I finish planting, not to mention that there are not so many seeds, even if there are, the land is not ours." The man said: "Before it is time to plow the field, the family opened a field to raise seedlings, and the field was slowly cleaned up, and the rest of the people went to the city to work on the basis of OEM, and they could earn a bucket of rice every day." ”

Gu Junruo: "It takes a lot of time to plow the land, but also to weed and manure, can you do it alone?" The agricultural time is the most important, don't delay the agricultural time. ”

"But this god doesn't know what to think, in case the second half of the year is not easy, won't this land be white again?" He smiled flatteringly: "So if the family can earn an extra bucket of rice now, they have to earn more." ”

Gu Junruo asked, "How many people are in your family?" ”

"Three, I also have a younger brother and sister alive, they all went to the city to do OEM, they know little about the work in the field, so I stay at home to do it."

Gu Junruo nodded, pointed to the dry land not far away, and said: "The seeds sent by the county government still have bean seeds, after sowing rice seeds, bean seeds should also be planted, when do you plan to cultivate the dry land?" ”

"This ...... The plough still needs to be ploughed, so we loosen the soil with a hoe and sow the seeds. ”

Gu Junruo: "What about the grass, do you want to weed?" ”

"Weed it when it grows."

"This can't be done," Gu Junruo said: "There are not enough farm tools, and it doesn't matter if you don't plow the land, but the grass must be removed, otherwise it will be difficult for the beans to grow, and even if they grow, they can't grab the grass, so how can we talk about a bumper harvest?" ”

Han Mu ordered: "You have to listen to Madame." ”

"But, we're understaffed."

Gu Junruo said: "There is not much work left in the county, even if they can earn a bucket of rice a day, they can't earn a few days, can you still rely on a few buckets of rice to survive until next year?" ”

"Self-production and self-sufficiency is the way to survive, this acre of beans, you have planted it, at least you can harvest two stones, this year the county government is tax-free, these two stones are all yours." Even if the rice cannot be harvested, you can live until next year with these two stone beans. Gu Junruo said: "Although the bean rice is unpalatable, some people eat it." ”

The other party was stunned for a moment, but what he was concerned about was, "Does this county government collect taxes?" ”

"No." Gu Junruo looked at Han Mu.

Han Mu reacted and immediately nodded: "Yes, if you don't accept it, Your Majesty said before I came, this year's flood in Yixian County is tax-free this year, and many places in Jiangling are exempt from half of the tax." ”

The other party became excited, and then became more serious, "I'll weed tomorrow!" ”

Gu Junruo asked him, "Have you sown rice at home?" ”

"No, I just put down the fertilizer this morning, and the family said to put it down again and again, so as not to accidentally burn the rice seeds."

Gu Junruo asked, "Where is Miao Tian?" ”

"In the village, behind my house," he said, "there are some slackers who don't go to the county town to work or go out to work, and they think about crooked ways all day long, and even go to the field to pick up rice seeds and eat them, so we all put the seedling fields near our houses." ”

Han Mu: "Then what if some people don't have a field near the house?" ”

"Borrow, they are all from the villagers, borrow for a period of time, everyone is willing, and take the field to raise seedlings, not only can remove the grass in the field, but also fatten the field, everyone is willing to borrow."

When the other party saw that they were really interested, he led them back to see.

Gu Junruo trembled and followed, stepped on it with one foot, and needed a lot of force to pull his leg up.

Han Mu looked at Coke and reached out to hold her arm.

Gu Junruo glanced up at him and held his hand, so that it would be much easier to walk.

On the way, I met many villagers who came to release water with hoes, and when they saw the county order and the county order's wife, they stopped releasing water and followed them back excitedly.

Han Mu and the others have already put on their shoes and socks, and now they are handsome sons and beauties again.

Han Mu was not a person with a fight, and he quickly got along with them, and he was closer than Gu Junruo, who always asked them questions.

This village is not very far from the county seat, so they are the first people to receive seeds along with the refugees in the city, and many people go to the city to work to make money, and basically only one person is left at home to take care of the fields.

Some people have only one person left in their family, some choose to farm at home, and some put away the seeds, planning to earn a little more money to buy food and save it, and then return to farming.

Many people fled and left, so the village seemed empty, and the fields outside seemed even more empty.

Knowing that many people fled to other villages, and some of them fell into the grass on the mountain, Han Mu said to the villagers: "Call all the people who have fallen grass on the mountain back to farm......

Tell them the measures that he had formulated with Gu Junruo before, "Now there are still fields to plant in the mountains, seeds and relief grains, and after a month, if you miss the agricultural time, and if you don't go down the mountain, the county will directly send troops to suppress the bandits." ”

The villagers were startled and responded one after another, saying that they would persuade the people on the mountain.

There are many people on the mountain who are their relatives, friends and neighbors, and they don't want to just watch them being suppressed by the county government.

Gu Junruo and Han Mumari took a look at their seedling fields, some of them were planted yesterday, and today there are only a few seeds sprouting sporadically.

Seeing that Gu Junruo was looking carefully, a woman came over to talk, "Does Madame also know how to farm?" ”

Gu Junruo said: "I know a little bit about it. ”

She asked, "Have you ever soaked in this?" ”

"Bubbles?" The woman looked at the men, shook her head, and said, "If you don't soak it, you will sprinkle it directly, we will not spread it densely, and it will grow faster." ”

Gu Junruo said: "In fact, soak in water before sowing seeds, and plant the next day, not only the germination speed is fast, but the germination rate is also higher." ”

Gu Junruo remembered the rice field that his grandfather once planted, and said: "But there are two ways to promote germination with water, one is simpler, you only need to change the water twice, and the other is more complicated, not only to soak, but also to take it out to dry halfway, if you want, you can try the first one first." ”

"We've been planting for so many years, and we've never soaked in water before planting, but we've basked in the sun."

"Yes, it is necessary to bask in the sun before planting, so that some insect pests can be subtracted," Gu Junruo said: "But soaking in water does help to break the bud rate, this is the method that Sinong Temple has figured out, and it may not have been distributed to the counties yet." ”

"Si Nong Temple, ......"

It sounds amazing, but they don't recognize it.

The woman smiled and said, "If you want to talk about planting rice, there is no place in the world that can compare to our Gangneung area, and our rice here is famous all over the world and is known as the granary of the world." ”

"Yes, then what Sinong Temple can be more powerful than us?"

Gu Junruo didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "Then forget it, when the county government has tried this method this year, and it will be changed after it is really useful, how many households in your village have planted now?" ”

"Seven or eight households, and the rest of the families will have to wait a little longer, for fear that it will rain again."

Seeing that Gu Junruo had compromised like this, Han Mu couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you say it?" Why don't I force them to follow your example? ”

"Don't, my grandfather said, the farmers in the world are the most enlightened, but also the most stubborn, for farming, they don't have to force what they don't want, because we don't know the method is suitable for them, suitable for this land, we can first choose a piece of land to try, and when the harvest time they see the effect, we don't need to say, they will also compete to learn."
