As the third son of the patriarch Huang Lu, Huang Yin is sensitive and studious, talented and eloquent, and has good morality and shape, and is the most favored person of the younger generation of the Huang family in Chuyang.

He understands that today's Zhuangzi is different from the past.

And this difference comes from my cousin.

Since childhood, this cousin has been smarter and better than him.

When Huang Lu explained to him the current situation of Zhuangzi last night, he probably understood his cousin's predicament: the momentum was too fast and there were not enough people.

He also heard Huang Lu say that the Chu paper agency of the eight counties of Jingzhou has been won by the major families, among them, the Jiangxia Huang family is the most important.

Jiangxia Huang's family, and their Huang's family, was still the same family more than 100 years ago.

It's just that the Huang clan has been based on it for a much shorter time, and it can't be compared at present, but with his rather demonic cousin, it may not be incomparable.

Although it is not appropriate to pin the hopes of a family on one person, Huang Yueying's performance is worth it.

So, he looked at his sister and found that although the latter was young and tired in his eyes, he also had confidence and certainty.

"Brother, I have calculated, and now I have nearly 10,000 acres of land under my name, although most of the land is located in Chuyang, but the distribution is also scattered." Huang Yueying has also sorted out the congratulatory rites of various families these days, and she has a headache, among which the fields are too scattered and difficult to manage.

"Yes, now Achu is a huge rich man in the clan." Huang Yin smiled and said softly, "In fact, the most direct way to deal with it is not to make changes, most of the land and property donated by each family are with the original tenants. ”

Huang Yueying immediately shook her head and refused, "No, I can't help it." ”

As a Chinese person, what do you want to do most when you own a field?

Of course, it's a vegetable grow! Farming! All kinds of things!

This is DNA engraved in the blood and engraved in the bones!

And most importantly... In this era, food production is still too low.

Huang Yin was a little stunned for a while, "Can't help it? ”

"yes, I can't help it." Huang Yueying smiled bitterly, "Brother, have you ever heard of Su Mai?" ”

Huang Yin nodded slightly, "Emperor Wu ordered it to be promoted, and now more is planted in the Central Plains and the north, and in Jingzhou, corn and rice are the mainstays. ”

"Then brother, do you know that if it is winter wheat and summer rice, most of my Jingzhou areas can harvest two seasons of grain a year?"

In terms of paddy rotation, rice-wheat rotation appeared in China before the 9th century at the latest, and it developed more rapidly in the Song Dynasty. According to records, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty promoted wheat planting in Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang, Jinghu, Lingnan, Fujian and other places, and promoted the development of the rice-wheat double cropping system.

"Winter wheat and summer rice?" Huang Yin was puzzled at first, and then calculated the planting and maturation time of wheat and rice in his heart, "If this is the case, the rice seedlings will not grow for enough... When will the harvest be harvested? ”

Seeing that Huang Yin didn't refute directly, Huang Yueying was still very happy in her heart, fortunately...... Huang Yin is not a stubborn old farmer.

"At present, planting rice, only the year is easy to be good, and the land selection wants to be close to the upper class. The land is not good, and the water is clear. Those who plant in March are the upper time, the first half of April is the middle time, and the middle of the month is the lower time. Huang Yueying thought about it, and first said that part of the record of planting rice in "Qi Min Yaoshu", this book was written in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it will be more than 300 years ago, which is an encyclopedia of ancient Chinese agriculture, but it also has its limitations.

It is changed once a year.

The way of planting rice today is quite different from that of later generations, not only because of the problem of raising and transplanting seedlings, but also about crop rotation.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties and before the Northern and Southern Dynasties, if one acre of land was planted with rice once this year, it could not be planted again next year.

This is also the reason why the price of white rice is high today.

"Does my brother think so?"

Huang Yin listened while constantly thinking about it, and said in surprise, "When it comes to farming, is Achu so clear?" ”

He shook his head helplessly, and sighed with a smile, "How much did Uncle teach Achu how much?" ”

"Brother thinks so?" Huang Yueying asked rhetorically.

Huang Yin nodded to himself, "If it's rice, isn't everyone planting like this?" ”

"What kind of rice land does the elder brother think?"

Huang Yin shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"In order to prevent the crops from being single, it is conducive to the prevention and control of pests, better use of soil resources, and is conducive to increasing crop yields."

"Achu means winter wheat and summer rice, which is also crop rotation?"

"Exactly."

It was the first time Huang Yin had heard such a concept, and he couldn't help but have a curious look in his eyes, "Winter wheat and summer rice, is it really feasible?" ”

"Feasible." Huang Yueying nodded, "The land south of the Great River, the climate is mild, the soil is fertile, and most of them are feasible. ”

"If this is the case year after year, will not the fields be able to rest?"

"Therefore, it is necessary to replenish the soil in a timely manner, such as mixing plant ash, human and animal manure, humus and fallen leaves in a certain proportion and scattering them in the field......"

"Achu tell me in detail! If this method is really possible, it is only these fields owned by Achu...... You can get a lot of food in a year! ”

Hearing this, Huang Yueying finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately...... She still has some credibility, and fortunately, Huang Yin is a young man who can accept new things.

At that moment, he led Huang Yin into the study, and then handed over the rice planting and rice field management method that he had read and revised countless times to the other party, and said, "Brother, this is the method of rice planting that I learned from the flower planter, and I will look at it first." ”

Huang Yin didn't care about anything else.

In this era, food is a matter of vital importance.

If Huang Yueying's method can really increase crop yields and produce bumper crops, how many people will have to live?

took a stack of paper in Huang Yueying's hand, densely written, with pictures and ...... Let him understand quite quickly.

"Raise seedlings first, then plant seedlings?"

"It is conducive to prolonging the growth time of rice seedlings, and can better penetrate the root system of rice seedlings into the paddy field?"

"Uniform transplantation and easy management?"

"You can even harvest double cropping rice?"

On the side, Huang Yueying watched Huang Yin chatter while watching, listening to the disbelief in that tone, and relaxed, fortunately, the version she compiled can still be understood by people in this era.

Otherwise, if she really wants to be responsible for this matter herself, not only will she not be able to convince the public, but she will also be half angry to death, even so...... But we still have to do it, and food is the foundation.

Now that Huang Yin can be in charge of this matter, she can free up her hands to do other things.

Gan Ning had already urged her to hurry up and let the craftsmen customize the horseshoe, and said that it would depend on the gift she had prepared.

Here, the conditions are too bad compared to the later generations, and she needs to do almost everything herself......

Nowadays, the task of children in ethnology is only enlightenment, but the teaching materials that can be studied afterwards are ...... She is also preparing to replace next year.

After more than half an hour, Huang Yin rubbed his eyes, "Ah Chu, these need to be studied by Brother Wei, if it is really as Ah Chu said, Brother Wei has a few suggestions......

"Brother, please speak."

"The statement of winter wheat and summer rice is simply deviant for the old farmers, and no one will believe it."

"Achu knows."

"Yes, this year's rice planting reform began with all the fields produced by Achu."

"Achu thinks the same way."

"The more than 4,000 acres of land in the village are planted by your family's more than 500 acres...... Only seeing is believing that the people will truly believe. ”

"Yes."

In addition to winter wheat and summer rice, Brother Wei also saw the method of double cropping rice planting...... I want to try it for my brother. ”

"Brother, just do it with all your might."

"The price of rice is higher than that of corn and wheat flour, and if this is done, rice will also become an ordinary grain for the people...... Great goodness. ”

"Brother's words are exactly what Achu thinks." Seeing Huang Yin's excited expression, Huang Yueying smiled, "But, brother...... This will not happen overnight. ”

"My brother also knows that if you don't succeed in this year, you will stay in the next year, and if you don't succeed in the next year, you will wait until the next year......"

"My brother has learned since he was a child, and it is the way of the sages...... If you really do these things for Achu, will there be resentment in your heart? To be a man, to be subservient to a woman? ”

In this day and age, men do things for women...... I'm afraid that some people won't be able to accept it.

Huang Yin listened to it and smiled, "Ah Chu has looked down on his brother, and he has read sages all over for his brother, but I have never seen any sage say that men can't do things for women." ”

Huang Yueying also smiled, "Thank you, brother." ”

"You......" Huang Yin was helpless, "Okay, I'll go back first, I'll go back first, someone has already come to look for you." ”

Huang Yueying raised her eyes and saw Zhou Yang and Gan Ning standing at the door.
