Chapter Ninety-Two: The Second Cropping of Rice and Wheat and the Geometry of Hair
But it was said that outside the city, with a new residence with a lake, Xin Qiji and Qiu Qiang were in the pavilion on the edge of the construction site, and had a long talk, not only Qiu Qiang moved Xin Qiji with his unique insights, but Xin Qiji also used his profound knowledge to make Qiu Poor admire.

Qiu Qiang explained the situation in detail, and Xin Qiji gradually realized that Qiu Qiang's trip was not sent by Zhao Kuo to try with false words, but sincerely came to invite him to go out of the mountain to help.
He already had a heart to serve the country, and at this time, he hit it off with Qiu Qiao, and they had a good conversation.
As for Zhou Botong, he didn't know where he had gone since yesterday, if he hadn't come back on time every night to eat, Qiu Poor would have thought he had left alone.
At this time, Qiu Qiao was talking to Xin Qiji in detail, what the so-called 'small farmland water conservancy project' was.
Small-scale farmland water conservancy projects, referred to as small-scale farmer water, refer to the planning of field irrigation and drainage projects, small-scale irrigation areas, drought-resistant water source projects in irrigation areas, small reservoirs, ponds and dams, reservoirs, water cellars, wells and water diversion projects built to solve the problem of cultivated land irrigation and drinking water for rural people and livestock.
After all, the pronouns of ancient grain are also called grain, five grains, eight grains, nine grains, and one hundred grains, but the five grains are the most, and the main food sources in the Great Song Dynasty at this stage are rice and wheat, and these two crops do not have high requirements for land, but the demand for water is very strict.
For example, wheat must be watered sufficiently after the beginning of spring, and the next two months are also the most urgent time for water needs, and after two months of rapid growth and maturity, the demand for water is reduced, and rice is grown in water, not to mention.
Qiu Qian also gave a detailed description of what is called "double cropping of rice and wheat", which refers to planting wheat after the rice harvest and rice planting after the wheat harvest in the same field.
This will not only improve the utilization of land, but also increase the income of farmers.
As one of the fastest periods of economic development in history, this sowing method has actually appeared in Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty, but it has not yet been promoted, and Qiu Poor at this time introduced in detail how to operate it in order to achieve the best effect.
That is, rice is planted in June every year, after the rice harvest in November, wheat is sown by ploughing, harvested in May from wintering to the coming New Year, and then rice is planted after wheat stubble ploughing and irrigation, so as to achieve two crops in a year.
Qiu Qiao, together with Xin Qiji, also analyzed the possibility of double cropping of rice and wheat in the Yangtze River basin and Taihu Lake area.
It can be used to double crop wheat, rice, wheat and cotton, or it can be rapeseed, rice and early rice, late rice double cropping, and even in the Jiangnan area, it can be achieved to be rapeseed, rice and rice triple cropping.
In this way, the people of the Great Song Dynasty have no worries about food and clothing, and they have the ability to solve other problems.
Xin Qiji was dumbfounded when he heard this, with Qiu Qiao's method, the same land area, and the same labor, but the grain output was directly doubled.
How could he not be surprised? Of course, if he knew, Qiu Qian was actually very dissatisfied with this result in his heart, and he was afraid that he would roll his eyes.
Qiu Poor also has no way, so he came up with this method, if he can grow corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes on a large scale, then don't worry, no matter what water conservancy projects he has, no matter how many times he grows a year.
The average yield of corn per mu is close to 1,000 kilograms, and the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes is about 2,000 kilograms, which is almost ten times the yield of wheat per mu in the Great Song Dynasty.
What is the concept of ten times, that is, now the population of the Great Song Dynasty has skyrocketed tenfold, and everyone can still have food.
Although the Southern Song Dynasty is now suppressed by the Jin State and Mongolia, the population still exceeds 80 million, and the tenfold population is 800 million.
To be honest, in this era of cold weapons, the population base of 800 million is basically filled with human lives, and it can also sweep across the Eurasian continent in a few decades.
Of course, this is just Qiu Poor's fantasy, after all, sailing across the Pacific Ocean like Columbus requires not only personal courage and ability, but also the world's navigation technology at that time has matured, and the current Great Song Dynasty, or any country in the world now, does not have the ability to sail in the ocean.
At this time, Qiu Qian withdrew his thoughts and began to introduce to Xin Qiji the new weapons he had invented.
What repeating crossbows, what small muskets, what mines, binoculars, Qiu Qiang finished explaining their use, and was about to explain in detail the circumstances and how these weapons should be used.
However, although Xin Qiji is a Confucian general, he also fought in the Quartet when he was young, and after listening to Qiu Qiao's introduction, although he was horrified in his heart, he also had a mind spinning, and in the blink of an eye, he already understood the power of these weapons, and many scenes then appeared in his mind.
Or the high city is defended, the arrows rain like locusts, or the plains are fighting, the mines are buried underground, or in the mountains, from a distance, the enemy's pots and pans are vividly visible, and they take the lead.
At this time, Zhou Botong happened to return, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xin Qiji's face full of red light, and said to Qiu Qian excitedly, "Jun Zhen is a talent from heaven, just to save my Great Song Dynasty." As he spoke, he turned over and bowed, and couldn't help but be frightened, and another said that Qiu Poor was born by an immortal?
As the so-called three people become tigers, one person said that Zhou Botong only thought he was crazy, but the second person also said so, so he had to have doubts.
What's more, these two people, one is the congenital apex of peerless martial arts, and the other is a peerless Confucian who has read poetry and books?
Qiu Qiang was full of embarrassment, and while helping Xin Qiji to get up, he was humble, but just like a void bamboo, Qiu Qiang did not deny Xin Qiji's statement.
I was very relieved in my heart, if Xin Qiji really thought so, it would be very beneficial to Qiu Qiao.
But said that three days later, Xin Qiji took his family with a small car and horse, and followed Qiu Poor and the two of them to Qu (sound with canal) Zhoucheng, which is known as "magical landscape, famous city Quzhou", Qiantang River water from west to east, running through the entire Quzhou City, where a group of people abandoned the car and took a boat down the river.
After all, there is a distance of nearly 500 miles from Lin'an, Quzhou Road, and it is convenient and fast to take a boat, and it is also free from the pain of traveling and traveling.
However, Qiu Qiang did not plan to go straight to Lin'an with Xin Qiji, since he arrived in Quzhou, how could he not go to Shiliang for a visit?
At the moment, he was separated from Xin Qiji and others, and went on a tour, Xin Qiji looked at the back of him and Zhou Botong leaving by themselves, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
This Qiu Poor really deserves to be a free marquis, the situation in the court is so tense, and he has such a talent, but he has no intention of being anxious at all, and he still has the interest to visit the mountains and rivers, it is really out of tune.
It turned out that Jin Yong had studied in Quzhou No. 1 Middle School, and during the Anti-Japanese War, Quzhou No. 1 Middle School temporarily moved to Jingyan Village to escape the war. In the past 60 years, I have often dreamed, and Shiliang Jingyan has a heart at night.
And the Xizhong Island in this Shiliang Jingyan Village is the prototype of Peach Blossom Island.
However, it is said that this Shiliang is a small town, only more than 20 miles away from Quzhou, and Qiu and the poor are very fast, and they will arrive in less than half an hour.
The first thing that catches your eye is the legendary Rotten Ke Mountain, according to legend, when the woodcutter Wang Zhen entered the mountain to pick wood, he happened to meet two immortals to play, and then watched the chess on the sidelines, and waited until the end of a game, and when he turned around, his axe handle was rotten.
When he returned home, he found that he had already gone beyond his needs, and it turned out that he had been in the mountains for decades since he entered the mountain this time.
And between the two peaks on the Rotten Ke Mountain, there is a huge stone beam connected, the devil's axe is magical, non-human can move up, the local old legend is that the gods move to mana, the name of the stone beam, from this.
At this time, it was early spring in March, there was silence on the mountain, the two of them walked slowly from the foot of the mountain, and suddenly heard the voice of someone on the mountain faintly, "Orchid leaves are spring and weed, Guihua is bright in autumn." Shin Shin this business is a festive season. Who knows that the forest dwellers sit and enjoy each other when they hear the wind. Plants and trees have their own hearts, why ask for beauty to fold. ”
Qiu Qiao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it, this poem is generally compared to the empty valley Youlan, and the lonely fang appreciates himself with a grievance that he has never encountered.
I couldn't help but fly up, but the mountain was not high, and Qiu Poor came to the top of the mountain after a few ups and downs.
I saw a scholar sitting on the stone beam, shaking his head and being intoxicated, this situation, Qiu Qian couldn't help but move in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency is surnamed Zhu?"
The scholar heard the voice, and then he found Qiu Poor, and couldn't help but look up, and saw that the person who came was full of white hair, and immediately got up and saluted, "The old man admitted his mistake, and he knew that he was not surnamed Zhu." ”
Zhou Botong also followed at this time, and when he heard this person report his home, he couldn't help but laugh, "Mao Zizhi, haha, this name is also interesting, let me ask you, how much hair does it have?"
Mao knew that Zhou Botong was not young, although he didn't like it in his heart, and it was not good to have a seizure, he just said lightly, "The student has three hairs." ”
Zhou Botong couldn't help but smile even more, and said with a hippie smile, "I see that you obviously have black hair, how can it be that there are only three, don't you know how to count." ”
I only know from Mao Zi, "The so-called unprovoked fall into the dream of red dust has caused three thousand troubles." Because the three fruits are unknown, the prosperous floating shadow is ashamed to become a poem. Hair is trouble, and if a student has three troubles, wouldn't he have three hairs?"
Zhou Botong was still about to make a joke, only to listen to Qiu Qiaodao, "I don't know what your three hairs are called?"
Mao Zizhi looked at Qiu Qian carefully when he heard this, and saw that he had a childish face, and knew that he was a master, so he saluted Qiu Qiang respectfully and replied, "Answer the old man's words, the student can't repay the hatred of the country and the family, and he has a full stomach but no use." ”
"The life of the villagers is becoming more and more difficult, but there is nothing they can do. As for the third annoyance, there was no such thing, but it suddenly appeared just now. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Botong faintly.
Qiu Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, this scholar is also quick-witted, very interesting, Zhou Botong mocked his name, and he immediately ridiculed Zhou Botong as just a hair of his.
Mao Zizhi also pursed his lips and smiled, only Zhou Botong looked confused, and asked Qiu Qiandao, "What does this mean?"
Mao Zizhi was stunned when he saw this, and looked at Zhou Botong carefully a few times, and found that his behavior was quite strange, and his clothes were also stained with oil, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Thinking that he was actually scheming with a madman, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he was still young and vigorous, otherwise he wouldn't have ...... At the moment, he was interested, and bowed to Zhou Botong and said, "The student lost his words just now, and he was offended. After that, he bowed his hand to Qiu Qian and was about to leave.
Zhou Botong couldn't help but be even more confused, and Qiu Qiang hurriedly stopped him and started talking to him.
It turned out that this Mao knew that he was a native of Quzhou, born in the family of scholars and eunuchs, and the thirty-first generation descendant of the Qingyang Mao family.
A few days ago, when I heard the news of the alliance between the Jin and Song dynasties, I couldn't understand why the Jin and Song countries were so hateful and hated each other, and they could still join the alliance.
How do you know that I didn't even enter the door when I saw the state pastor, I was kicked out, and I couldn't help but feel depressed, and I also said that the alliance was done by the main peace faction in the DPRK, and I was naturally not treated by the main battle faction, so I didn't meet the talent in my heart, so I came to this rotten Ke Mountain to relax, and happened to meet Qiu Poor.
