Chapter 146: Counting Birds with One Stone
When the people's grievances and anger accumulated to a certain extent, the Taishi sent people to pretend to be the family, kill a few people, rob a few people's daughters, and put all the blame on the family.
Then you will stand up again and lead the people to destroy the whole people;
In the end, all the assets of the family were confiscated, and then some pork meat was distributed to these suffering people, and they were naturally grateful to the Taishi. ”
Mo Xiaolou laughed, picked up the cup and said, "Let them be inferior to pigs and dogs first, and then give them the status equivalent to pigs and dogs...... Changing the icing on the cake is to send charcoal in the snow, and you can also use this to get rid of a family, amazing, the wild goose is worthy of my Zhuge , hahaha. What else?"
Hearing this perfunctory tone, Shen Luoyan rolled her eyes, picked up the cup from the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then coughed violently, her face turned red,
"Lord, how is it wine~ Luo Yan has very little wine power......"
Mo Xiaolou was a little embarrassed and said: "This matter is my mistake, I really treat you as a general......"
Shen Luoyan's eyes lit up, and she said in a trembling voice: "Lord...... You can really talk......"
She paused, and was about to say more, when she suddenly saw a flash of laughter in Mo Xiaolou's eyes, and suddenly reacted and said:
"Hmm...... Lord, in fact, you have already made up your mind, right? I have told you so much, I hate ......" Shen Luoyan's face was slightly drunk, and his tone became naughty.
"Well, how do you see that?"
"Although the lord is good at drinking, he never drinks alcohol when he is on official business...... Shen Luoyan glanced at Mo Xiaolou with a confused look in his eyes and leaned closer to him.
Mo Xiaolou touched his nose and did not deny it,
"Luo Yan is really smart. Yes, my plan is not a ploy, but if it happens, it will be a decisive one......!
“...... How can you get drunk with a drink......"
And at this time, the southern suburbs of the pig farm.
In Luoyang City, regardless of the farmers and industrialists, as long as there is a little industry, people have been invited here, and a cursory look shows that there are thousands of people.
However, the Taishi himself did not come, and they were greeted by a delicate woman and a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
The scene is also very well arranged, with all kinds of tea and melon seeds, it seems to be ...... Are they really invited to visit the farm?
"Everyone, what you see next will completely subvert your cognition, I hope that you will be in good spirits, and any omission of details will be a major loss for you. ”
The pretty woman said mysteriously, and then her own subordinates divided everyone into multiple phalanx and entered the pig farm in an orderly manner.
To be exact, it was to enter the mountain behind the pig farm, this Shi Min has always wanted to explore, but because of the heavy guards, he has never had the opportunity to see the secret forbidden land.
Everyone walked along Luoshui, but found that the scene on both sides of the river had already changed, and a large open space in the mountain had been carved into layers of flat land, like terraced fields.
The flat ground seems to have just been burned, and many people are busy - looking at the dress, it should be some poor peasants in the villages and towns around Luoyang.
"What does this mean?
"Cut, I don't know, this is obviously imitating my Longxi terraces. ”
"Impossible, the mountains in the Central Plains are all hard soil, there is no fertility, let alone digging terraces for farming, I'm afraid it will be difficult for plants and trees to grow. ”
Listening to everyone's speculation and discussion, the pretty woman smiled and said, "Hehe, do you think these hard soil can't be turned into fertile fields?"
"I think, isn't the master very good at farming? ”
A dark-skinned man smiled innocently, grabbed his head and said: "My family has been farming for generations, and the ten acres of land in my family are cultivated by my ancestors for 30 years before they turned from waste land to melon fields......
"Phew, you fool, Taishi is a god, how can you not know how to farm. ”
The pretty woman scolded angrily, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said with a smile, "Now, please go over the mountain and see the achievements of our Taishi." ”
When they turned over the top of the mountain, everyone, including Shi Min, was shocked at the same time, this ...... How is this possible!
Wow –
A puff of golden wheat is almost dazzling.
"This ...... Did you really grow wheat??" an old farmer ran over and excitedly picked up a heavy ear of wheat and felt its plump fruit with his fingers.
"It seems to grow more luxuriantly than the wheat in the farmland north of the city. ”
"This land has been fattened for at least ten years to be so fertile and grow such lush wheat!"
The old peasant took three steps back and exclaimed: "Impossible! I came here half a year ago to collect medicine, and that mountain is just a barren mountain, how is it possible, how is it possible!"
He was so excited that his voice was out of tune, and in the end it was like hell.
This really turned his perception on its head.
He had planted the land all his life, and naturally knew how much fertility it needed for wheat to grow so full. It is no exaggeration to say that even in the fields contracted by the royal family, the ears of wheat grown are not only smaller than those in his hands, but also have many deflated grains.
"The yield of one acre of wheat field here is enough to feed three young and strong laborers. ”
The delicate woman was Fu Junwu, at this time she held her chest with her hands, her head was raised high, and she said proudly:
Not only that, but these terraces were also divided into blocks and numbered according to the Taishi's suggestion for comparison, and the best seeds were selected according to the results of development, which were reserved for the next season.
This is a method of artificial selection, and once it is implemented for a long time, the yield of wheat will increase by 30% every year!"
There was an uproar in the crowd.
They know very well what it means to have such high-quality and high-yield wheat.
If it is true as she said, the surplus grain will never be eaten, and it will no longer be the granary of the family that is full, the famine in the world will be swept away, and the bitter history of the Han people relying on the sky for food will come to an end.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Master is so magical. Fu Junwu raised her hands, bowed, and took out a scroll from her bosom and explained:
According to the "Book of Agriculture" written by Taishi, if you want to open up wasteland, you must first increase fertilizer. The strategy of fertilization is to first take the grass and trees to burn on the ground, and then fully integrate them with the soil after burning, and then apply manure to bury them in the ground, which can turn waste into treasure in a short time and turn wasteland into fertile soil. ”
She paused, and then said: "Of course, the specific operation is much more complicated than this, which involves the use of chemical fertilizers, temperature and humidity control, fermentation time, etc., but although the process is complicated, the Taishi "Agricultural Classic" has detailed all the processes, everyone can learn!"
Looking at everyone's unconscious appearance, Fu Junwu couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart. When I first came, I was also confused by this set of professional vocabulary, and now I can finally pretend to be forced in front of people.
It feels good.
Next, everyone had a copy of "Agricultural Classics" in their hands, and just when everyone was immersed in the shock brought by the advanced agricultural technology of the 29th century, it was still the old farmer who suddenly thought of something and said loudly:
"I said why Taishi decided to raise pigs on such a large scale, it turns out that in addition to providing pork meat, there is also the purpose of reclaiming wasteland!"
In ancient times, because there was no chemical fertilizer, soil fertility was seriously insufficient.
Therefore, farmers generally adopt a three-round farming system, in which a plot of land is divided into three parts, which are used for spring sowing, autumn sowing and fallow in turn, so as to avoid continuous cultivation depleting the soil fertility.
The rotational tillage system is a system that greatly reduces agricultural productivity and wastes land.
And manure from large-scale pig farming can solve this problem.
Shi Min beside Fu Junwu was already shocked in his eyes. In the middle of his shock, Fu Junwu said in a timely manner:
"The Master has decreed that each of your households will be given ten acres of land from here, and at the same time someone will guide you in the method of clearing and cultivating the wasteland. What's more, all the harvest in the field belongs to you, and you only need to pay taxes according to the rules!"
As soon as these words came out, there was only a sound of inhalation left at the scene, and at this moment, I don't know who shouted, "Is this true?"
"Of course," Fu Junwu said word by word: "Taishi's words are the golden rule!"
"Taishi is merciful," someone couldn't help but exhale in a low voice, and then his voice became loud and high-pitched, "Long live Taishi!"
"Long live the Taishi!"
A farmer in the front row knelt down to the shouts, followed by a second and a third......
Until kneeling down, the cries came and went, more and more, louder and louder. After almost losing control of the situation, Fu Junwu said again:
"The wisdom of the master is far more than that, everyone come with me again. ”
Soon, everyone was in another area.
"This ...... What is the matter with such a stinking smell?"
"Look, there's a group of people burying filth there!"
"Could it be that this is also a lot to be cultivated?
The old peasant looked around in bewilderment, and suddenly exclaimed, "Girl, what is that? That flame is so strange! There is no oil and no firewood, it burns out of thin air, and it ...... The burning is blue-purple, a bit like a ghost fire on a grave!"
"Ghost fire? Ignorance!"
Fu Junwu half-tilted her head and said, "This is the second magical method of the Taishi - biogas!"
"Biogas?"
"Yes, it's biogas. I don't know if you have ever observed, we often see bubbles coming out of swamps, sewage ditches or manure tanks, and if you open the flint, you can ignite these gases, which is natural biogas.
Taishi also discovered this incident by chance when he went to the toilet once, and after systematic demonstration and research, he finally reproduced this phenomenon from the perspective of Gewu!"
"I see, the Taishi is really powerful, and he doesn't forget to seek the well-being of the people even when he goes to the toilet, and I take it. ”
"Taishi is naturally a god and a man. ”
"That...... Does the Master also need to go to the toilet?"
“......”
Seeing that the issues discussed by everyone were getting more and more crooked under her unintentional guidance, Fu Junwu was happy in her heart, but she hurriedly interrupted:
"Please turn to page 186 of the "Book of Agriculture", there is a sentence on line 34: From the perspective of the grid, biogas is a combustible gas produced by organic matter through a series of fermentation under the reduction condition of isolating the air, through reasonable temperature control. There is also a detailed illustration at the end of the article to know how to build a biogas digester. ”
"Oh, I see. Taishi's illustration is really detailed, which makes it clear at a glance. It's just ......" the old farmer frowned, and said, "What's the benefit of this digester?
Fu Junwu chuckled lightly and explained: "This question, please turn to this page, and it will be explained later." Biogas, first of all, is a renewable resource, the average family of three, only need to build a one-zhang biogas digester, can solve all the lighting and cooking fuel problems in daily life, pay attention, do not need to spend a penny.
Secondly, after the manure is fermented in the biogas digester, it can not only produce biogas, but also make a large number of high-quality organic fertilizers, and put these fertilizers into the reclamation, so as to obtain the terraces that everyone has just seen. ”
In everyone's shocked gaze again, Fu Junwu said again:
"Another thing that everyone doesn't know is that all crops that are applied biogas fertilizer have the ability to resist drought and frost, which can greatly increase the yield of crops. ”
"In this way, farming is not just about fertilization, not too much management!"
"That way, I can spend more time going out and earning money. ”
"Awesome, awesome!"
That's another benefit of biogas – freeing up labor. There is no need to do the work of picking firewood and chopping wood, and the tradition of smoking and burning when cooking will be completely eliminated, which will greatly save ....... Hmmm"
She flipped through the book in her hand before she said, "Hmm...... Time for ineffective labor. ”
"As for the other benefits, such as improved sanitation and the promotion of farming, they are recorded in the book, so I will not explain them to you. In short, the role of the biogas digester is in line with the most mentioned sentence in the "Agricultural Classic", and it is also a concept that Taishi vigorously promotes - ecological balance. ”
"Ecological Balance ......" Shi Min on the side muttered, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and his face changed drastically.
Seeing everyone's thoughtful appearance, Fu Junwu said: "Maybe you don't know much about it, let's go ahead and take a look." ”
I didn't go far before I heard several loud and agitated slogans, and on a high platform in front of me, pulling a huge banner, an old man shouted hysterically:
"Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, raise pigs to become benevolent, and kill pigs to take righteousness. Boys, if you feed the pigs more, they will pull more, and the more biogas they pull, the more fertilizer they will have, the more grain and feed they will produce, the more they can feed the pigs, and they will grow faster!
Everyone saw the old man shouting hard, and their eyes couldn't help but look at him.
"This ...... Isn't this the old man of the Great Confucian King Tongwang?"
"I heard that he has always been dissatisfied with the Taishi, could it be that he was caught to raise pigs?"
"But...... Looking at him, it doesn't look like he was forced......"
In fact, Wang Tong has been here for half a year, he has a special identity and excellent ability, and he was soon promoted to the position of household servant.
It can be said that in the past six months, the most diligent and busiest official is not Wang Xiuer, not Fu Junwu, but this giant Confucian.
I don't know how many biogas digesters, houses, greenhouses, vegetable gardens, etc. were built by him. At the age of more than half a hundred, his temples are now gray, and his skin has darkened a lot, but his mental outlook is much stronger than ever, and his voice is even more neutral.
It's true that circumstances can change a person quickly. Half a year ago, he was still careful to hide himself, while trying to figure out what Yuwen Tuo was trying to do.
After really getting in touch with the core business of the pig farm, he changed his perception of Yuwen Taishi, and even he himself had a more enlightened way of thinking because of his long-term personal command.
But the greatest thing about Confucian students in this era is that they are willing to give to others. To this end, they can ignore their identity as Confucians and work hard in the fields.
It can indeed be deserved - self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world!
"Tong Lao, you stayed up all night yesterday, why don't you go to rest now?" Fu Junwu said to Wang Tong.
Wang Tong laughed,
"Hahaha, when I was studying, I hated the dim oil lamp, and every time before I was a child, I had to put down my books and books and fall asleep...... Hey, now that there are biogas lamps, no matter how late it is, the house is also brightly lit. Wouldn't it be nice to stay up all night reading the classics! Don't worry, the old man's body is tough, the girl doesn't need to worry, I still have something to do, you can go yourself!"
"Yes. Fu Junwu bowed respectfully and said to everyone:
"I'm afraid there is still a doubt in everyone's mind, that is, why do the pigs on our pig farm grow so fast?"
"Not bad. No matter how good your so-called biogas digester is, you must first have livestock to raise and provide a lot of manure before it can be realized. But as far as I know, pigs are the most difficult to raise, and it takes at least a year from birth to maturity. Generally speaking, even if we raise cattle, we don't think about raising pigs. It grows slower and eats a lot, and the meat is fishy, so it can't be drawn. ”
For this question, please turn to page 75 of the Agricultural Classic, column 4. ”
"Oh, the way to cut the pig, what's the use of that?"
"Pork fishy, palatability is indeed very poor, but, castrated pigs, the smell of meat is well removed, and more importantly - castrated piglets are very quiet, not as lively as those who have not castrated piglets, and do not make trouble, in addition to eating all day is sleeping, so the meat fat grows, the fast one month can be slaughtered, and the slow one is at most three months. Shi Min, you can quickly show everyone how to use geldings!"
"Uh...... Be. ”
Soon someone brought a dozen piglets over.
As Shi Min's hand rose and fell, he used the 7749-style knife method of cutting off children and grandchildren, and cut a pig and chicken cleanly.
If this scene is seen by his father Li Yuan, I am afraid that it will ......
"Brother, what a craft!"
"Could this person be a master of castration from Ouchi?"
"Learned, learned. ”
