Chapter 71: Rice Fields
"This branch can gradually spread outward, and when it reaches the ground, you can dig a few more and divert it out. The river has a fast current, and it is also suitable for dividing several tributaries. ”
Xu Luqing opened his mouth to explain that he was thinking about much more than that.
"In addition, I also plan that if it can be done, we can also plant a few acres of rice, and raise some snails, crayfish, rice fish and the like in the field, and occasionally make tooth sacrifices."
In the past, they used to grow upland rice here, and although the harvest was good, since they had the conditions, they could grow rice and raise some river fresh in the rice fields, so why not do it.
Lin Wanwan didn't care about anything else, just heard that she was eating this, and her eyes lit up.
"I think this is a good idea, anyway, we have to grow crops, and it's not bad to be able to raise some river fresh, so we don't have to spend money to buy it."
Lin Wanwan nodded again and again, not to mention anything else, just raising crayfish in the rice field, she raised her hands in approval.
"But can this really be done? Now it's not raining, the land is dry, it's good to grow into crops, and then planting rice fields to raise crayfish or something, I always feel a little unrealistic. ”
Lin Wanwan couldn't see the flowers when she looked at this drawing, after all, she didn't understand these things, and she had no strength.
"Don't worry, as long as this river can be dug through, it will definitely work. However, there is a point that if you use this water for long-term irrigation, the field will become sandy, so it is not suitable for planting for a long time. ”
Xu Luqing is aware of this, so he is not afraid of the jealousy of the villagers, if they are willing to turn their land into sand, they can naturally follow him to plant.
However, he doesn't plan to make too many rice fields, just plant one acre of land, so that his family can eat fish and shrimp. After two or three years of planting, the land will be changed, and only vegetables and sweet potatoes will be planted.
Xu Lu had already planned it early in the morning, and he didn't decide what to plant as soon as his head was hot.
"You don't have to worry about other neighbors following suit, the land is important to the farmer's family, and they are more concerned about the long-term development. After all, the rice fields can only be used for two or three years, and when they turn into sandy land, they can't manage it, and the land will become wasteland. ”
A part of the grain collected from farming must be handed over every year, and almost all of what is left behind is only enough for one's own food, that is, the surplus will be brought to the town and sold for money.
Crops are their only source of income, and they can't give up their food for short-term gains.
Although Xu Luqing can grow rice in the sandy land, it takes too much time and energy, and there is no need for it.
"Our family has a small population for eating, unlike other families, there are only a few children, although there are a little more fields than us, but there are more places to use money in the end."
If it weren't for this time, marrying a daughter-in-law like Xu Luqing would have been impossible with a bag of cornmeal.
"That's fine, I don't understand this, but if you say you can, I'll believe it."
Lin Wanwan said with a serious face, she didn't know how much she wanted to be bullied like this.
Xu Luqing was silent for a moment, and then smiled again.
"I'm just talking about it, you just believe me, one day I sell you, maybe you'll have to count the money for me."
Xu Luqing is a joke, not to mention that Lin Wanwan is so thin and not beautiful, and he can't sell it at a high price, even if he really wants to sell it, I'm afraid no one will dare to buy it.
