Daqin Engineering Corps

Agriculture was not so important in the world he lived in. At that time, it was all about industry, technology, and high-tech...

The others were stunned when they heard what Shen Bing said and his indifferent performance.

Damn, this is definitely a pretense.

Waterwheels and overturned cars are fine, they are just treating one side of the drought.

This invented the method of substituting land to double the area of ​​arable land in an instant... that may affect the agriculture of the whole country and even the whole world.

It's not worth mentioning?

Wei was so excited that he was trembling all over, he asked Shen Bing cautiously:

"Master, do you know what this means?"

Shen Bing asked back:

"What does it mean?"

Lunong in Hui Chaocang's hand glanced and said:

"This theory of farming will be brought to various places by the disciples of the peasant family and taught to the people of one side."

"In the future, as long as farmers from all over the world use water trucks and overturned trucks to divert water, and use the land method to farm the land, they will naturally think of engineers."

"Engineers are their food and clothing, and their parents have the grace of regeneration!"

……

Yoho, it's so interesting!

That is to say, the reputation among the people has grown, and it is quite positive.

But after thinking about it, these are still false names after all, and power is king in this era.

So Shen Bingfu had little interest again, waved his hand and ordered:

"Make your waterwheel."

"Otherwise, it is not enough to divert water to control the drought, so what is the talk about agriculture!"

All the craftsmen responded in unison and returned to their posts, their spirits seemed to be different.

At the beginning, Shen Bing said that it was because he was famous and they felt honored, so their morale improved.

Later I learned that the fact is not so simple.

These inventions of Shen Bing in agriculture, especially the Daitian method, had far greater influence than he imagined.

Although this generation of field law did not double the cultivated land, it was not far behind.

In ancient times, nine out of ten common people were farmers, and the remaining one was a scholar.

That is, most people benefit from it.

At the same time, most of the soldiers in the army are farmers, and their parents, wives and children are engaged in production at home.

That is to say, the "food and clothing parents" and "the grace of regeneration" mentioned by Hui are also applicable to soldiers in the army.

It can even be said that Shen Bing relieved their worries...

How many soldiers are fighting while worrying that the fields at home are not enough to work and their families are not enough to endure hunger and cold.

This is also one of the reasons why they worked hard in the army to win the title.

Because only the Jinju family can get more land, and even assign servants.

But before obtaining the second-level nobleman, he had to live a hard life and be prepared to starve to death.

It's all right now, Shen Bing has come up with a Daitian method, and the harvest will be much easier next year.

So the look in Shen Bing's eyes can still be the same?

Shen Bing also felt different when he returned to the camp, because no matter where he went, he could get grateful eyes.

What was even more exaggerated was that people kept sending him new clothes, new shoes, and a few small pieces of jerky.

At this time, Shen Bing suddenly understood why he gave him jerky before, and it seemed that they were all about the same size...

Whether Shen Bing accepted it or not.

Give it away, at least the size of the shoes must be correct!

Just when Shen Bing was staring at the pile of things on the bed in a daze, Xi leaned over and asked:

"Master, it is said that this generation of land law is only used in the three counties?"

"I don't know what's going on?"

Shen Bing nodded without thinking and answered:

"true."

"The internal history said that this method should be implemented with caution, so it will be tried out in the three counties for the time being."

Hui Chao Shen Bing cupped his hands:

"Thank you, engineer."

Saying "Suddenly", he returned to his position and tied up the bamboo slips.

Others are similar, those who are looking for ink are looking for ink and pens, others are looking for pens, those who can't write are eager to find someone to write for them, and some people are beating their chests and sighing.

It even seemed contagious, and soon it was everywhere in the barracks.

Shen Bing asked puzzledly:

"Why is this?"

Cang replied:

"Brother, they are in a hurry to write a letter home!"

Shen Bing still didn't understand, and writing a letter at the same time?

Seeing Shen Bing's puzzled expression, Cang explained:

"If the Daida Law is only tried in the three counties, then..."

Shen Bing let out an "oh" and then understood.

They are in a hurry to send the Daitian method home so that their families can cultivate according to the law.

Those who beat their chests and feet, I'm afraid they are too far away from home and can't be sent before the farming season.

It's just that the whole army sent letters home at the same time, and the postman who delivered the letters...

Chapter 93 Ji Dan

The next day, Shen Bing was dragged by Xu Ying to make compost.

To be honest, Shen Bing is not very willing to toss this thing, because the taste is really not flattering.

It's just that Xu Ying had greeted Wang Jian in advance, so he couldn't go if he didn't want to.

Retting is also called simple composting because it is simple and easy to make.

What Shen Bing taught was half-pit retting.

First dig a hole on the ground, about three feet deep, six feet long, and wide.

Then set up two crossed wooden sticks on the ditch, and then vigorously pile up garbage and excrement into the pit.

Mainly straw, weeds, leaves, etc., it is best to chop first.

Then add all kinds of feces.

Sprinkle some water feces and urine in moderation and add some water to make it moist... not wet and not easy to rot.

The high pile is like a small hill, and then a layer of clay with a thickness of two inches is pasted on the outside... This is done to maintain the temperature in the pile to accelerate decay and kill maggots.

Finally, pull out the wooden stick on the previous rack as a vent hole and it's over.

It was so simple that Xu Ying was a little unbelievable.

"Is that all right?"

Shen Bing replied:

"What else can I do? It's just fattening!"

Xu Ying asked with some doubts:

"But like this, where did this fat come from?"

This really has to start with microorganisms...

Forget it.

Shen Bing replied:

"The subordinates don't quite understand either."

"However, doing so seems to produce more manure for a small amount of manure, and it will be more fertile."

"Anyway, try it and see if it works."

Xu Ying nodded in agreement.

He has prepared several experimental fields, in fact not a few but many.

Xu Ying is quite professional in this regard, after all, he is a farmer.

The promised arrangement is to divide a field of the same fertility into several pieces of the same area.

A piece without any fertilizer was used as a reference.

Then it is divided into two categories and six fields.

One type is to use ordinary farmyard manure, and apply a small amount, a medium amount, and a large amount of fertilizer respectively.

The other type is to use retting fertilizer, which is also applying a small amount, a medium amount, and a large amount of fertilizer.

In this way, the fatness of retting manure can be compared with reference when harvesting next year.

In addition, in order to avoid occasional conditions such as floods, wind disasters, locust disasters, etc., the experiment failed.

Xu Ying opened up several experimental fields in the same way in other places, even in the three counties and even in all the counties of Qin State.

This is not purely to deal with occasional situations, but Xu Ying wants to know whether there is any difference in this retting in different regions and different climates.

Shen Bing thought to himself that the influence of this farm is really extraordinary, and it is extraordinary once the experiment is done.

But this also seems to be normal.

The cycle of this experiment is one year. If there is any data to know, do we have to wait another year?

Therefore, in the first year, all aspects should be considered clearly at one time.

Tuntian was carried out step by step in this way. With the large investment of waterwheels and overturned vehicles, all aspects went very smoothly.

However, when the agricultural season is approaching, there are difficulties in grain cultivation.

This is not because Yingzheng was poorly deployed.

In fact, Yingzheng's allocation is very reasonable. He adopted the segmented allocation method to save time.

The so-called segmented deployment is to divide the deployment distance into two or even several segments for deployment.

For example, the distance from Xianyang to Handan is 1500 miles, and it would take at least a month to transfer the grain directly, so it would be too late.

But if it is divided into two sections...Xianyang to Pingyang, and then from Pingyang to Handan.

The two food dispatch teams set off at the same time.

That is to say, the grain seeds were transported from Xianyang to Pingyang, and at the same time, Pingyang also transported grain seeds to Handan.

In this way, there is no shortage of grain in Pingyang, which is equivalent to transporting grain from Xianyang to Handan.

And shipping time is cut in half.

This deployment method was very common in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, especially when food and grass were urgently needed on the front line of combat.

The problem lies in the way of deployment...
