6. Secrets
In the next two days, Yuan Rui stayed at home to read and write, and even he thought about it, so he took a few of the previous books to write and write, and passed the time.
Also taking advantage of the two days of free time, Yuan Rui tidied up his own and his father's study at home, and it can be seen that the original two masters like to read very much, and the ancient books at home are full of bookshelves, Yuan Rui, who is interested in history, is indeed very happy, he knows that the current books are rare, but they are very different from the history books of later generations, and they are more real than real history.
He specially collected and sorted out the ancient books he was interested in, and when he had nothing to do, he would take them over and flip them through, and sometimes he would take some notes, not to mention, some of the information was really something he hadn't found before, which made him think new.
At the same time, he sorted out some of the letters, notes and experiences left by his father, especially the letters, he really wanted to see what old friends his father had, and who he had a good relationship with. My father was born as a scholar, including the township test, the Hui test, and a lot of them in the same year, and there are always a few good relationships.
But after reading the letter, Yuan Rui was a little disappointed, judging from the letter, he didn't feel the so-called dead party of later generations, most of them were just some normal greetings, and discussed the experience and ideas of governing the place. How did he know that Yuan's father was actually a nerd, and he was more rigid in his work, so he was not a private party, and most of the official relations he maintained with his friends were normal.
Fortunately, Yuan Rui is considered an otaku in both worlds, and he can endure his temperament, sometimes in the afternoon, he will go to the backyard vegetable garden to grow vegetables, which even Uncle Wang was shocked, this kind of thing has never happened before, but Uncle Wang didn't ask, Yuan Rui came out for a walk, slowly brained, and he was more happy.
On this day, Yuan Rui walked into his father's study boredly, he wanted to come and get a book, but he didn't understand a question.
He was just about to take the book and go out, and he was a little strange when he saw that in the next room, Xiaohe was cleaning up.
"Xiaohe, what are you doing?"
"Young master, it's okay, I'll clean up the room, it's a little gray."
"Oh, this room, do you clean up every day?"
"That's not it, my mother said, this room can be cleaned up in three days."
"It's not that no one lives, why is Aunt Wang still so diligent."
"My mother said, Mrs. used to love cleanliness very much, and I want to pay more attention, it rained two days ago, and it was damp again."
Yuan Rui smiled, speaking of which, he hadn't been in for a long time, probably because he was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people.
Seeing that the side of the bed was a little wet, Yuan Rui gently walked to the edge of the river and helped the river pull it. Maybe there was no attention, the bed was opened, but the thing at the head of the bed fell to the ground along the gap and smashed on the bricks, with a "bang".
Xiaohe smiled embarrassedly at Yuan Rui, and quickly reached out to pick up a small package.
"It's muddy, if my mother knows, she will definitely scold me."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll do it." Yuan Rui hurriedly comforted her.
"I'll take this square towel to wash it, and I can't let my mother see it." Xiaohe hurriedly opened the package and took out the things.
Seeing the things inside, Yuan Rui was stunned, there were two things inside, a hairpin and a dagger.
Yuan Rui involuntarily picked up the dagger, which was only one foot long, with a cowhide cover and a simple pattern, and its appearance looked ordinary. Gently pulled out, it was not the silver-white kind, the blade was cyan, shining with a cold glow.
Yuan Rui carefully flipped the dagger over and over several times, and there were only two small seal characters, Kunwu. Yuan Rui, a famous sword and a famous sword, has heard of some, what kind of general, Mo Xie, Zhan Lu, fish intestine sword, Kun Gong knife, etc., a small dagger called Kun Wu really has not heard of it.
Yuan Rui was also a little strange about the sound of the dagger falling to the ground just now, it shouldn't be like this when a heavy object fell on the ground.
Yuan Rui squatted down and gently touched the green bricks on the ground, and he was really discovered.
Yuan Rui opened the green bricks, and there was another layer at the bottom, and then moved the green bricks, revealing a small iron box underneath, although it looked very small, it couldn't be moved.
Yuan Rui asked Xiaohe to call Dashan over, he didn't want to hide it from Dashan and Xiaohe, if these two people can't believe it, then no one will believe it. The two of them finally moved the box out, and the box was square, less than two feet.
There was a pile of gold in the box, two small boxes, and inside were jewelry, which didn't look special, but Yuan Rui always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it clearly.
Yuan Rui has been recuperating at home for several days, not to mention, after such a long period of pure rest, he feels much better. Now both the air environment and the meals are green and pollution-free. Yuan Rui's favorite thing to eat is all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden behind the courtyard, that is, the place is big enough, Wang Xiaohe is very hardworking, keeps harvesting, keeps planting, otherwise according to Yuan Rui's way of eating, it is estimated that it will be eaten up in a month.
People don't have a front and back eye, if there are no things behind, he still can't think of so much, as a simple scholar, thinking is to save some taxes every year, after all, after all, he enjoys more exemptions after the lift, and now he thinks about it.
On this day, Yuan Rui came out to breathe, just watched Uncle Wang and Dashan preparing to go out, so he asked casually, I heard that Uncle Wang took Dashan to the field to plant seedlings, he was interested, he really hadn't been to the field for so long, he was a small landlord, and he hadn't even gone down to the field, so incompetent.
followed Uncle Wang to the field, and when Wang Xiaohe saw that he had to follow, he took her with him. On the way, I learned that most of the family's land was tenant out, and only deliberately left less than three acres of paddy fields to plant some rice to eat by themselves, that is, the family's annual rations, and now it is time to plant seedlings.
Yuan Rui was originally strange, there are so many fields, any one of them is enough to eat, there is no need to grow it yourself. But what Uncle Wang said was that there was only that little thing at home, and there was no need to do it by himself, and he was idle, so he found some good rice seeds, and then managed them with dim sum, and the rice he laid down was better than the outside. There are not many three acres of paddy fields, and he and Dashan can be completely busy, and at the same time, let Dashan know what to pay attention to in farming, and it will be easier to manage the field in the future.
Uncle Wang is a grateful person, his idea is very direct, his whole family will not leave, and the housekeeper will let Dashan do it in the future, although he is a little selfish, but he is worthy of it, Dashan is kind, and he is honest, but he is a little dull, but it is good.
Really went to the field, Yuan Rui didn't think about it, it's not hypocrisy, he came out of the countryside, he has done farm work, and he will plant rice seedlings.
On the edge of the paddy field reserved by Uncle Wang is a large field, and at this time, many people have gone down to the field, and they are constantly planting seedlings with their hands and feet. Yuan Rui didn't delay Uncle Wang's work, he walked slowly along the ridge, Wang Xiaohe followed behind with a smile, she didn't come to work, of course, Uncle Wang didn't think about letting her go to the field, she was still a little girl.
Yuan Rui walked slowly along the ridge, and now the construction of this large paddy field in the south of the Yangtze River has basically taken shape, and the next few hundred years will be produced according to this framework, and later generations will simply make fine-tuning, and then scientific and technological progress, and the research of hybrid rice will directly double the yield. He himself knows that this ability is limited, and it is not something he can do to study hybridization, so don't think about doubling it, and it is still more reliable to improve it a little.
But before that, he has to study it carefully, first of all, high-quality seeds, and if he spends a little more effort when raising seedlings, he will basically be half the success. Of course, these should also be done slowly, and it will take at least three or five years of exploration, continuous experimentation, and continuous change, and they will eventually achieve their goals.
At present, most of the yield per mu of paddy fields is about 300 catties, and the good ones can reach 356, and the harvest is only more than 200 catties when the harvest is bad. In later generations, he knew, the big pot of rice was not used as a reference, and after it was distributed to the household, the yield per mu was almost 600 catties, and then it reached 1,000 catties, which was still ordinary rice, and if it was hybrid rice, it would almost double. Therefore, he estimated that according to the current cultivation level, it is still possible to reach 500 catties per mu.
