When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

As soon as Fang Tianlin got home, he smelled a strong smell of fish. He sniffed it hard and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

"Father, Daddy is cooking delicious dried fish." Shen Zhang picked up a small dried fish and presented it to Fang Tianlin like a treasure.

"So much? How many of you made it?" Fang Tianlin washed his hands, took the small dried fish and chewed it lightly. It tasted good, both fragrant and crisp. The body of the fish was small, and the thorns were so soft that it was almost impossible to eat it. The taste was very good. good.

"My second and third brothers caught it together!" Shen Bi puffed out her small chest, with a proud face, and told the process of their catching fish and shrimp in a few words.

Fang Tianlin's eyes became brighter the more he listened: "After a while, when my father is free, I will organize the playground for you."

"Yeah!" the triplets immediately cheered.The playground, that is a good thing, they have been thinking about it for a long time, and now they can have fun again.

The local weeds basically do not survive winter, and will naturally wither in autumn. Fang Tianlin considered this, and brought some forage seeds that can survive the winter. They are the kind that have been cultivated for several generations. There is no need to worry about them being unaccustomed to the water and soil and growing wilted. Not a few.

Once the first-class and semi-grazing farms were planned, Shen Jiahe handed over the grass seeds to Steward Tang and asked him to circle some areas for grazing and wait for the grass to mature before reopening.

Steward Tang was not too surprised. There are people growing alfalfa in the Yunzhou City area. Not only can livestock eat it, but people can also eat it.In addition, it can also be dried and stored, used as livestock rations on weekdays, and even life-saving food for ordinary people during famines.

Many sheep will eat grass roots, which will destroy the balance of water and soil. After Shen Jiahe learned about this situation from Fang Tianlin, he informed Tang Guanshi and asked him to pay more attention. Once this situation occurs in any place, he will move it immediately.

The Shen family currently does not have a large amount of grazing. A few hills are enough for rotation grazing of sheep, and horses are much better. As long as there is enough forage, it will not even eat grass roots.As for the cattle, they are raised at the foot of the mountain and do not go up the mountain, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

The farms are all ready, and the first batch of crops has been planted on the farm, and the second and third batches are coming soon.The later the time, the fewer the types of crops that can be planted. In a few days, I am afraid that only winter wheat and other crops that can withstand frost can be planted.

Fang Tianlin was walking in the field, looking at a large area of ​​green seedlings, with a smile in his eyes.If they want to live a comfortable life here, they must be self-sufficient in food, and the other is to have enough force. As long as these two points are achieved, life will not be so bad.

The area where Fang Tianlin is located has been plowed, and there are basically no people in sight, and the farmers are busy working on the other side.

"Tianlin, this is the experimental field you asked me to watch in person." Shen Jiahe stood on the ridge of the field, pointing to the front.

Fang Tianlin squatted down and compared the crops in two adjacent fields in detail.

The experimental field has been planted with the fourth generation of fine varieties, and the fifth generation after maturity.The adjacent fields are planted with the same generation of grain, the only difference is that the crops in the experimental field are irrigated with space water, while the other fields are irrigated with ordinary water.

Now that the seedlings have only grown long, there is already a slight difference.

There are not many four-generation improved varieties, and at most one or two hundred acres can be planted, and the rest are all three-generation improved varieties.

With limited space and water, Fang Tianlin had to supply drinking water for his family first, and the rest had to be shared with the crops and livestock. This resulted in a very small experimental field, only two or three acres.

Manager Bai only felt that the crops in the field were growing very well, but he didn't know that these were high-yield crops. Just like that, his face was full of joy. If he was told the real yield per mu, he would be as happy as a child Three feet tall?

Seeing that everything in the experimental field was normal, Fang Tianlin stood up straight.

Farming is complicated and requires a lot of labor.He had to find a way to free as much labor as possible from farming.The first thing Fang Tianlin thought of was agricultural machinery. Obviously, the current conditions do not allow it for the time being, but simple implements such as columbine carts are still acceptable.

The columbine cart belongs to the sowing agricultural machinery, which has multiple functions of digging trenches, sowing and covering soil, which can greatly save manpower.This is not Fang Tianlin's invention. This kind of equipment has existed in Jingchao for a long time, but it is only limited to a certain range of use and has not been popularized.

There is no such simple and convenient small agricultural machinery in Linshan County.

The columbine cart can sow granular upland crops such as wheat, which is suitable for current use. As soon as Fang Tianlin got home, he got into the study and began to search for relevant information from the Qianyuan clan inheritance.

Shen Jiahe didn't disturb him, and brought his sons into work.

At present, Aragaya has no manpower to do other things. Once the Taniguchi city wall is built, the academy will open, teaching children during the day and adults at night.There is only one down-and-out wife in the valley, who was brought over by the Shen family from Yunzhou City, but it is not easy to invite people in Linshan County.Masters here are more expensive than other places, and those who can pass the examination for scholar, but whoever has a little ability will go out, and will not stay in Linshan County to develop.

If the education is not good, the rate of successful scholars will decrease year by year, and most of the gentlemen will be hired by the landlords and gentry, and the common people cannot afford the students, which exacerbates this process.After all, the children of landlords and squires can live a rich enough life without working hard. With the same resources, the success rate of poor children is much higher than that of rich children. This has become a vicious circle.

After learning about this situation, both Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe gave up their plan to pull out their teeth from the hands of the local gentry.

If there are not enough masters, isn't there still a lot of stewards?They may not be able to do anything else, at least they can teach people to read and write.In addition to these people, masters from all walks of life can also act as gentlemen. Craftsmen are indispensable for the development of Huanggu.

After getting along with Fang Tianlin for such a long time, Shen Jiahe has long realized that there is a big problem with the education system of the Jing Dynasty.The imperial court paid too much attention to liberal arts. Although poems and songs can cultivate sentiment, they are not very useful in practical application. They can neither govern the country nor allow the people to produce an extra grain of food. To be honest, these people are not as useful as a farmer .

Of course, things cannot be viewed in this way, and literati have their own necessity for their existence.

Shen Jiahe sorted out the textbooks that Fang Tianlin gave him one by one, especially the subject of chemistry.Many small experiments in the book cannot be carried out, so this part must be eliminated first.Investigating things is much better. A lot of little knowledge can actually be encountered in daily life, such as water condenses into ice, frost falls, water flows to low places, etc.

When Shen Jiahe heard Fang Tianlin say for the first time that what he was standing on was not a square of land but a round ball, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.Even though this conclusion was unbelievable, Shen Jiahe felt intuitively that his wife was right. During those few days, he lived in a daze, thinking from time to time, the ground is round, how could that person not fall off when standing on it?

Until Fang Tianlin put a pair of high-powered binoculars in front of Shen Jiahe and asked him to observe the stars at night, watching the blinking stars in the sky turn into small balls, Shen Jiahe was completely shocked.

It was so miraculous, it was a supernatural workmanship, Shen Jiahe admired Fang Tianlin so much.Since then, he has no longer been obsessed with why people can stand firmly on the planet and not fall down. He is not in a hurry. One day, his wife will tell him what is going on.

The Ke Fuzi hired by the Shen family was only proficient in one way of writing, and had little attainments in arithmetic and objects, which was not even as good as a tent.Since the academy hasn't opened yet, he has nothing to do recently, so he studies these things hard in his free time.

Originally, Mr. Ke was very proud. As a man of fame, to be honest, although he would not look down on farmers and craftsmen, he also felt superior to others. After meeting the Shen family, his notion was quickly dispelled.

It’s okay to be lofty, but first you have to fill your family’s stomach. If you can’t even do this, it’s really not as good as being a farmer who faces the loess all day long. At least they are doing their best to support their families .

Naturally, this was not enough to convince Ke Fuzi, what surprised him was other things.The status of craftsmen in the Jing Dynasty was not high, but in fact the contributions of craftsmen were very great, especially weapon craftsmen.

Without the swords, guns, halberds, armors and various siege and defense equipment they provided, how could the soldiers of the Jing Dynasty defend their homes and the country?

It's not that literati are not clear about this, it's just that they all ignore it spontaneously, otherwise their status will be lost.In the final analysis, scholars who do not do any practical work and only know how to talk about poetry all day long are actually moths in this society, and they are not as useful as a peasant woman.However, who would believe this?Even peasant women would speak out against it.

Ordinary people just blindly agree, they don't understand the key points inside, but Mr. Ke is not one of them.

But it is clear and clear that the reality does not depend on his will. As long as the world still respects learning, this situation will continue forever, and no one can change it.

After seeing this clearly, Mr. Ke felt very uncomfortable.

The value created by the literati is imaginary and needs the approval of everyone, at least in the present when the material is not abundant, but the agriculture, industry and commerce are actually creating wealth. Whether the gentry class admits it or not, the facts are there. For they deny that it does not exist.

This made Ke Fuzi, who was not interested in numbers and objects at all, also want to study, especially when Mr. Ke saw the function of the pulley block, his thirst for knowledge reached its peak.

A small set of utensils can save a lot of labor, which is really remarkable.

"Master, rest for a while, eat something and fix this."

"I'll just watch it for a while, you put the food down first."

Mrs. Zhang didn't persuade much, glanced at the densely packed words on the book, and walked out of the study lightly.My master has been really crazy for the past few months. He has been studying these things that he didn't like before, day and night. .

"It's impossible, it's impossible!" Ke Fuzi was about to close the pages of the book, but he didn't expect that what he saw in the last few glances made him pale with shock, and he kept mumbling, with an expression of disbelief.He dragged the book, staggered out of the study, and walked towards Shen's house.
