Chapter 30 Agricultural Cauldron Rice

Chonghua ploughs in Lishan, fishes in Leize, and makes pottery on the riverside.

Yu carries ploughing in Lingnan, fishing in Yanze, and making ploughs in Nanqiu.

The same young people have different fates, but at present, it is not possible to say who is luckier, after all, the future is uncertain.

Yu Zai personally pulled the plow, Yu Yi left with fifty clansmen, and with the messenger of the master to carry out the activities of sacrificing Xun Mountain and Chaisang, the manpower here was suddenly much less, and according to Yu Zai's familiarity with the celestial weather in his previous life, the sting will soon come.

The first is that the recent thunder is getting louder and louder, and everything is about to recover.

There is a movement in the burrow, occasionally there are frogs that do not know the time of day coming out of the soil, hibernating animals are gradually recovering, as for the temperature, it seems that the climate in Lingnan is gradually becoming wetter than not long ago.

Although the climate of this area is subtropical, and there are few winter characteristics, the exact date of the solar term can still be judged from the humidity of the soil and the behavior of various animals.

Fortunately, the crops grown in the fields here are their own, and there is no need to deliver the public grain to the "imperial court" like the Central Plains, this is the well field, to put it bluntly, the field in the middle of the word "well" is the land of the public, and eight pieces are divided around, and eight people are responsible at the same time.

Therefore, Jing Tian is also jokingly called "the public field is dry for nothing, and other land is not counted".

But now, the Chifang clan has just begun to cultivate, and it is too early to talk about the reform of the rural system.

When the fields were cultivated and cultivated, Yu Zai clearly requested that they should be planted according to the model of "field ridges", and not to plant a lot of messy things together.

It's the so-called "scratching the fiber"!

"Qian" is the north-south road, and "Mo" is the east-west road, which is used as a dividing point.

So don't think that the supporting role of romance novels, how literary and artistic it is to use the word Xian Mo as a name, this word is just the good name of "Tian Lang"!

Field ridges, that is, ridges that divide acres of fields or ridges where crops are planted in the field.

At the same time, it is necessary to reclaim several ditches for irrigation in the middle, because there is a lot of rain in Lingnan, so the fields are easy to be flooded like the last snake attack.

The measurement method of this era still uses "step", and the unit is also "step", but in order to facilitate the calculation, Yu Zai directly applies it to later generations, and uses one step is equal to four feet, which is equivalent to about 1.33 meters in later generations.

If it is a Qin ruler, then one step is equal to six feet, which is 1.38 meters.

But the ruler was the first thing to appear in the Shang Dynasty, the era of mountains and seas, but no!

[So, the mountains and seas, the sixty-sixth year of the Emperor Tao Tang, the Chifang clan was born, and the first "ruler"!]

The people in the tribe, after the planning of the concubine, also called the Qin ruler as the ruler, and called the ruler of the later generations as the field ruler, because it can be converted with "step", so it is deeply loved by everyone!

It's a very simple thing, but there is no need to complicate it, everyone says it's good, it's really good!

Since the unit was invented, then the wooden ruler and the stone ruler also came into being! Based on the wooden ruler drawn during the survey, the beam was ready to manufacture this thing on a large scale!

"Compared with Zhang, the ruler is a simplification of Zhang, which seems to be a trivial change, but it can make many vague things clearer!

The old patriarch praised, and the work in his hands did not stop:

"People are wrong for a season, the land is wrong for a year, we finally caught up, this land has been reclaimed, according to Wu, stinging and planting, can not be delayed. ”

The old patriarch was pulling the plough while talking to Yu Yu beside him, and after the plow was created, whether it was a single version or a double version, the young people in the tribe, especially the slightly older ones, were extremely happy.

With this thing, the speed of plowing the land is countless times faster than before, and plowing the land obviously requires less physical strength than manual ploughing, and the extra physical strength can be used to plow more land, or be used for other things.

"I'd rather like that rhino ditch!"

While plowing the ground, Yu Zai talked with the old patriarch: "When the envoy left, he chatted with me, and said that Xunshan had recently received a gift from the Lishan clan, bought a few rhino canals, and told the master that the sacrifice was meritorious, and he also shared one, but the variety is not a good product, this thing is said to have the power to drag the hills!"

The old patriarch smiled and said, "Wu, are you thinking of using this rhino canal to replace the ploughing oxen you mentioned earlier?"

Yu Zai smiled: "I can only say that I thought about it, the body is like a cow, and its voice is like a baby's rhino canal, before this thing was domesticated by the Lishan clan, it was a cannibal!"

"Cow, if only there were cows, even if it was something in place of cows. ”

Yu Zai's gaze involuntarily moved to the lamb behind.

Today the Lamb's task has changed again, it is an additional field of land, not with a plow, on top of which is the dolphin arching the ground with its mouth in front, and the lamb holding a mouthful of seeds and spitting in the back.

The young people all said that the dolphin is a rui beast anyway, it arches the ground, and there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year, and Yu Zai also thinks that he can give it a try, but he didn't expect the little fat pig to move that is familiar with the road, and it seems that when he was in the mountains, he did not do this kind of behavior of digging tree roots.

"It's a pity that it's a sheep, if only a cow would be good...... Do you want to follow the proposal of the patriarch last time and exchange the lamb for the cow?"

Yu Zai muttered in his heart, anyway, the lamb could escape back by himself.

However, in this era, the role of domesticating sheep is nothing more than the "milk, meat, and hair" it provides.

Come on, this is still the first three goats.

Yu Zai touched the back of his head, the lamb suddenly trembled, as if he felt a kind of malice, his cheeks bulged, shaking his head left and right, and he didn't find anything, and the dolphin in front of him was already pouting his buttocks, humming all the way and arching far away.

"Wu, when are you going to go southwest?"

"Then we have to get the land right, and if we get the seeds, we can plant them as soon as we come back. ”

The sound of conversation never stopped, but on the other side, the dolphin was in some trouble.

"Boom!"

The dolphin's progress was suddenly stopped, and Dangkang's two big round eyes were full of doubts and puzzles.

"Hum chirp!"

The dolphin poked half of its head out of the dirt and made a loud noise, attracting Yu Zai's attention.

"What are you doing, what are you digging up?"

Yu Zai muttered over, picked up the soil, and suddenly touched a smooth big bluestone.

Yu Zai was suddenly shocked.

"Don't you dig up a heavenly monument, do you?"

Yu Zai thought maliciously, didn't he dig up something like "Tiangang Constellation".

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing when there are big stones in the field, but it should be a good thing when it comes out of Dangkang.
