To be honest, Fang Tianlin was a little ashamed.He briefly looked through the children's treasure chests, and found that they were all very inconspicuous things such as weeds and stones, but he couldn't tell what kind of grass and stones they were.The problem is that since they can be collected by children, except for some of these things that are purely loved, it is estimated that the rest should be useful.As a father, he doesn't understand anything, so he is really not qualified.

It's useless to think so much. Anyway, the gap in knowledge between Fang Tianlin and the triplets is like a moat lying in the middle. There is no opportunity, no one to guide, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up in a lifetime.This is no longer able to gradually close the distance with his own efforts, and he doesn't need to spend too much energy on this.But it is not without chance, it will take time for children to grow up, and the only possibility at present is the water space.

Fang Tianlin began to sink his mind into the water space in his free time to explore continuously.Unfortunately, there is still no progress. Except for the lotus platform in the middle, there is endless water all around. No matter how deep he goes, the scenery does not change at all.

After being constantly beaten by his three children, and wandering for a long time in the vast ocean, where the water space is calm and not even a ripple, Fang Tianlin's mood became extremely calm, and even ordinary things would be difficult to disturb his heart. Make waves.

In addition to strengthening Fang Tianlin's spirit in the exploration of the water space, the original goal has not been achieved at all, so he is not discouraged, at least there are gains in doing so, right?But he didn't want to waste too much time on this, so he only set aside a moment to continue cruising around in the water space before going to bed every night.

After spending nearly two months with the children, Fang Tianlin knew nothing about the new bricks and glass, as well as the newly acquired transparent crystals, which were transitional items.While he's no longer overwhelmed by the triplets' abilities, he's still very curious about what they'll end up making.It's a pity that there are too many pre-preparations, and he may not see the finished product for a while.

During the previous period, Fang Tianlin spent a lot of time making new items for the children, and even went hunting in the mountains with only a handful of them.Father Shen and the others didn't talk about him because of this, which made Fang Tianlin feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing that the frequency of using the multifunctional calciner for the triplets was decreasing, Fang Tianlin decided to devote himself to field work.

There were several snowfalls last winter, which moistened the fields, and the spring sowing in Guangyan Village went smoothly.It's just that the number of crops planted in winter has been greatly reduced. It seems that the price of flour will definitely rise this year, which is a good thing for farmers.

Ordinary people at the bottom of the Jing Dynasty mostly ate miscellaneous grains and noodles, and the proportion of flour was very small. Most of the harvested wheat was sold to grain merchants, and they could make a small profit if the price was high.

Although Guangyan Village has also reduced the number of acres of wheat sown, but because of the sudden addition of a spring, it has planted more than the surrounding villages.

While the villagers were happy, they couldn't hide the worry on their brows. This situation is a bit strange now.Last year, several state capitals were hit by drought, and the nearest place was on the other side of the Shangyang Mountains. During the spring plowing period this year, it only rained a few times, and it was difficult to see the shadow of rain after that.It's not yet the summer harvest, and the Shahe River is no longer waist-deep. If the rainfall in the rainy season is still insufficient, the situation this year may not be optimistic.

It is now May and we are in the midst of the almost month-long rainy season.Under the scorching sun, the water evaporated quickly, and the light rain that just fell returned to the sky before it had time to moisten the earth.

Fang Tianlin squinted his eyes, looked up at the scorching sun that was constantly radiating heat and wantonly scorching the earth, his heart skipped a beat for some reason.He frowned, thinking about where this feeling came from, but the result was fruitless.

Fang Tianlin has owned the water space for a long time, but he has never had such a sudden inexplicable idea before, otherwise he would not have been hit by a wild boar in Canglin County, so that he almost died.

Alertness comes and goes quickly.But in the blink of an eye, Fang Tianlin's mood returned to calm again, as if the previous feeling was just an illusion.

At the moment, Xia Tianlin was going to work in the fields, so he didn't have time to pay attention to these, so he temporarily put aside this doubt and focused on the present.

When it rains, the weeds in the field will grow violently. If they are not removed, the crops will be crowded out of the living space.After all, between the two, the vitality of weeds is more vigorous, and crops cannot compete at all.

Although the busy farming season is hard, the duration is very short, and the most time-consuming thing is the daily weeding.In the Jing Dynasty, productivity was low, and all work had to be done manually. In order to survive, the per capita number of acres of land needed to be taken care of was relatively large.Most often, people have weeded out the last acre, and the first acre grows to the point where it needs to be weeded again in a few days.

Such a cycle goes on and on, and people with less labor force may not have much free time throughout the year.

The Shen family didn't have this trouble. During the slack season, at least half of their staff could be spared to do part-time jobs in the town.

Last year, due to the possible drought, the four Shen Jiahai brothers did not go to the town and stayed at home. This year, with the chicken farm, and the weather is still dry, it is even more impossible for Shen Jiahe and the others to leave home.

It seems to be a repeat of last year. Judging from the current situation, even if the summer harvest is reduced, the range will not be large.Fang Tianlin rested his chin on the handle of the hoe and looked into the distance.The crops in this area are growing well, and the potatoes on the land under his feet are even better.

It is indeed a good breed bred by space water!Fang Tianlin didn't know what modesty was, so he praised himself in his heart, and at the same time hoped that the autumn harvest would be the same as last year.

It's a pity that his idea may not have a chance to be realized. There was a heavy rain in the rainy season last year, which lasted for several hours and completely drenched the fields.Seeing that the rainy season is almost over this year, there are only a few sporadic light rains, this season is not worrying, at least there is sand river water to irrigate, what about the next season?No one has a certain number in mind.

The Shen family has business contacts with Zhou Yi and Zhang Ting, and the two parties cooperate happily, and they probably get more news than the village head.A wide range of news may not be good.No, Old Man Shen, who knows that the situation on the other side of the Shangyang Mountains is still worrying this year, even if he intends to control it, he still brings out some emotions in his daily life.

No one can comfort this kind of thing, because the Shen family members who know about it are also not happy.

The Shangyang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, roughly in a north-south direction.Guangyan Village is located on the east side of the Shangyang Mountains, only tens of miles away from the drought-stricken state capital on the opposite side. This distance may not be able to stop the tide of famine.If the disaster over there is really serious, some refugees will flood into Fuyang County, and the security in the county will be greatly reduced, and the possibility of a person going out alone will be greatly increased.

People are so hungry that they can do anything. Anyway, they will die. Starving to death is better than being beaten to death. At least it can give them a good time.

The emperor ordered disaster relief last year, and the affected areas were stabilized.If there is still a large-scale drought this year, no one knows whether the disaster relief efforts will be maintained as last year.

Could it be that his inexplicable hunch is really going to come true?Fang Tianlin felt uneasy.The news about the state capital opposite the Shangyang Mountains was that after he had this idea, he specifically asked the shopkeeper Fang to find out that the two coincided exactly, so it was difficult for him not to think about it.

After some calculations, Fang Tianlin came up with an idea. Food is important, but he must be able to keep it.

The four Shen Jiahai brothers are not thin and weak, but without training, they can only rely on brute force, and it is difficult to exert their physical strength.Fang Tianlin had been in the army for several years in his previous life, and finally retired from the position of company commander intact. In addition to being good at using spears and bows, his close combat ability is not bad at all, and he is more than enough to teach the Shen family.

"You said you want to teach the boss how to learn martial arts?" Father Shen's face was full of surprise, and his tone of voice rose unconsciously.

It's really not that old man Shen is making a fuss, poor in literature, rich in martial arts, this has almost become a well-known law.If it's just for occasional, then anyone can learn martial arts, with a weapon, even with bare hands, you can do one or two, but it will cost a lot to really rise to the level of formal martial arts.In practice, there is always a need to learn from each other. Injury is a common thing, and the wound medicine alone is a big expense. In addition, nutrition needs to keep up, and the loss of clothes and shoes is really not something ordinary people can afford.

Xuewen can be done with a little money. There are several children in Guangyan Village who are studying in the town, learning martial arts. There is no one in the village, and there are only a few hunters who are the most powerful.

Of course, the so-called martial arts here does not refer to martial arts such as being able to fly over eaves and walls, but to continuously improve physical fitness through exercise and release muscle strength as much as possible.

Even if you can't do martial arts, practicing martial arts to a high level is still very powerful. It is no problem to deal with ten or eight gangsters with your bare hands. If you match it with a good weapon and a good horse, your ability will be further magnified.

"Father, it's just regular practice, not formal learning of martial arts." Fang Tianlin didn't dare to claim to be a master of martial arts.

The martial masters of the Jing Dynasty were either recruited by wealthy families, or fought for their careers in the army. There were not many people who appeared among the people, and most of them worked in the escort bureau. Fang Tianlin had never even seen one, and the information he learned was just hearsay. How did he know how they practiced?Besides, with his background, how could he have the opportunity to learn martial arts?Doesn't this make people suspicious?

"Oh, so, let's practice." Father Shen agreed without thinking about it.Not to mention the threat to them from the possible arrival of refugees, his third daughter-in-law is a good hunter, and her bow skills alone are enough to benefit her children and grandchildren for life.

After obtaining the consent of Father Shen, except for the elders and children under the age of six, everyone in the Shen family, regardless of gender, joined in the exercise.

There is still time now, Fang Tianlin plans to proceed step by step, the first thing is to exercise physical fitness, the first item is freshly released immediately, that is to run around the woods.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the yard.

Fang Tianlin took people to the edge of the woods, explained to them the things that need to be paid attention to in long-distance running, and gave a demonstration, and then signaled everyone to feel free.The first time he started running, he didn't specify how many laps to run, he had to check everyone's ability first, and then make a corresponding training plan.

Thanks to the early time, there are not many people busy in the field at this time. Seeing the spectacle of Shen's family running in a row, they are not surrounded by people. However, I am afraid that this is unavoidable. Wait for the sun to rise a little bit , There will be more people watching the fun.

Shen Jiahai and other men are okay, they are thick-skinned, and they can still smile at the onlookers when they are seen as tricksters. Sister-in-law Yao and Second Sister-in-law Chen are blushing. As for the other two ten-year-old girls of the Shen family, they did not show up. Here, they still want to get married, so they have to pay attention to their reputation. After this is over, Fang Tianlin will go home to guide them.

There was not a small difference in physical fitness among the crowd, and soon a few children fell behind, followed by Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Chen, Shen Jiahe and Shen Jiaxi running in the front.After all, the two are younger and have better physical strength than the two elder brothers.

Fang Tianlin ran last, the child must be safe, he should pay more attention.Among the youngest generation of the Shen family, Shen Song is the biggest. Since the end of last year, his stature has been growing continuously. Now Fang Tianlin is shoulder-high and energetic. He can run faster than Mrs. Yao and the others. The remaining three are Real children, with small arms and legs, cannot be compared with adults.

Fang Tianlin estimated that it takes about 250 meters to run around the woods. With this length, even the smallest Shen Mai can run down. After all, he didn't ask for speed this time. Stop where you are and wait for him to record the score.

The results obtained were not ideal, except for the youngest Shen Mai's results which were acceptable, even the youngest and most vigorous Shen Jiahe Shen Jiaxi was a little worse than Fang Tianlin's expectation.

This is obviously wrong, Fang Tianlin thought about it carefully, and finally figured out the reason for this difference.It's because he missed a little bit. Shen's family has never been trained. From birth to now, at most, they run once when there is an emergency. How can they compare with people who have taken physical education since childhood?In addition, the Shen family's family background was not very good before, and they couldn't eat with their stomachs open. Even if they were nourished by the water in the space, many people's current physical fitness could only reach the level of ordinary people.

After finding out the reason, Fang Tianlin started targeted training, increasing the intensity every few days.

The Shen family had work on weekdays, so they didn't have much time for Fang Tianlin, only in the early morning, and after that, everyone would do whatever they were supposed to do.

Fang Tianlin didn't have any dissatisfaction, it was good to be able to do so.After all, the Shen family are neither soldiers nor students, so how could they spend all their time on this?

After running on the right track, Fang Tianlin began to teach them simple fighting skills while everyone was resting.As long as you learn these, everyone will be much safer when going out in the future.

Shen Jiahe, Shen Jiaxi and Shen Song are Fang Tianlin's key care objects.Shen Jiahe's reaction was slow, but his physique was the best among them. This was not unrelated to Fang Tianlin's private prescription for him to drink more space water than others.

Although Shen Jiahe has flaws in on-the-spot coping, but if he develops his own skills, his self-protection ability will be very strong, and it may be more difficult to strike later. Isn't there a way to deal with the enemy first?

Shen Jiaxi's advantage is that he is young and has a hunting background, so it is easier to learn than others.As for Shen Song, he is in the period of transformation from a teenager to a young man. He is flexible and responsive, and he can be used immediately after training.

After less than a month of training, the summer harvest came.

During the busy farming period, everything has to make way for it.The exercise of the Shen family was suspended, and they began to gather food in the dark from dawn to dusk. Except for the triplets and Shen He, there was no one idle in the whole family.

The only advantage of the drought is that you don’t have to worry about the food being damaged by the rain during the summer harvest, and people can only have fun while suffering. After all, no one wants to see a drought around them.

"Father, how many potatoes did you harvest in total?" As soon as the potatoes entered the granary, Shen Jiahe couldn't wait to run to Father Shen and ask.He is very concerned about this matter. It is a seedling grown from the potatoes planted by his wife. If the harvest is good, it will not only contribute a lot to the family, but also benefit the villagers.

Father Shen was speechless when he saw it, but there was a smile on his face, and he said angrily: "Isn't this not yet weighed? How would I know?"

"Father, tell me the number." Shen Jiahe didn't give up, his father's eyes were sharp, and his estimates were quite accurate.

Father Shen didn't continue to tease Shen Jiahe's appetite: "I think the yield per mu is about the same as before, but this is the yield under the condition of insufficient rain. If it is replaced by a normal year, the yield per mu should be higher."

Saying that, Old Man Shen got up and walked towards the granary: "Call your eldest brother and the others. I'll mark the baskets containing potatoes from one of the acres of land. I'll find out and weigh them later, and everything will be clear."

Shen Jiahe suddenly walked with wind, and soon he brought the large steelyard, and entered the warehouse with Shen Jiahai and the others.

The granary is almost full now, and each room has some prepared separately. The Shen family is not short of food at present.

The newly harvested grain is piled up on one side, and potatoes are planted the most this season, which naturally occupies the largest area.Potatoes and sweet potatoes are generally put into cellars for better storage, except for recent consumption, while warehouses are mainly used to store wheat, corn, etc.However, these potatoes have not been selected, so they are temporarily placed in the granary.

Several people were busy for a while, and all the baskets drawn in a circle with charcoal were carried to the door.

Shen Jiahe won the job of watching the scale. He held the weight in his hand and adjusted it back and forth. When the scale became stable and slightly upturned, he widened his eyes and looked at the flowers carefully. He didn't want to misread the scale. This leads to an error in the calculation of yield per mu.

In fact, Shen Jiahe can't get involved with this job at all, and the position of the weight will be adjusted more frequently. Except for coincidence, it is impossible to weigh in place in one go.Everyone knows about Shen Jiahe's little problem. Every adjustment is equivalent to doing it all over again, which cannot be compared with repeated labor.This led to Shen Jiahe's slow reaction, which was quite obvious in this frequent adjustment process.

Those who do it suffer, and those who watch it suffer.Today was an exception, seeing that Shen Jiahe volunteered to do this, Shen Jiahai and Shen Jiahu who were in charge of lifting the scales did not object.

As soon as the results came out, Shen Jiahe's eyes were so happy that his eyes were narrowed into slits, and smiles appeared on the faces of the rest of the people present.

The yield of potatoes per mu was higher than Old Father Shen estimated, which meant that the Shen family's summer harvest this year was not bad.

After finding out the yield of his own potatoes per mu, Shen Jiahe happily ran to his third uncle's house, greeted him and began to inquire about it.

"Jiahe, don't worry, just sit down first. You know, my aunt's family doesn't have as many hands as yours, and your third uncle and the others are still working in the fields." Wen poured a cup of tea for Shen Jiahe, "But it's coming soon , This is the last trip to carry potatoes. Since you are so anxious to see the result, let Jiahu and the others weigh the potatoes first."

What Wen said was quite accurate, Shen Jiahe only had half a cup of tea, and the third uncle and two cousins ​​carried the burden into the yard.Originally, Shen Jiahe wanted to go to the field to help, but was persuaded by Wen's so he didn't move. Seeing that it was about to be weighed, he stepped forward to help.This time he didn't hold on to the weight. He knew what was wrong with him. It was fine to toss about at home once in a while. The third uncle's house was not easy to mess around.

Seeing the back of Shen Jiahe disappearing at the gate of the courtyard, Shen Jiahu said with regret: "The good seed given by the second uncle's family is good, but there is a little less, and only one acre can be planted. If we replace all the potato land in our family with second uncle's The seeds provided by the family can harvest at least one or two hundred catties more this summer."

Everyone agrees on this point. Shen Xi's family has planted nearly four acres of potatoes, and they also weighed the other few acres just now. Significantly more traces.

"Second brother's life is better, and we haven't forgotten about us. Jiahu and Baobao, if Jiahai and the others ask you to help, you two can't shirk." Shen Xiyu said earnestly, "Don't be envious, just remember you The second uncle's family is good, they are not as shameless as your uncle's family, and the second brother will definitely drag our family out."

Shen Jiahu and Shen Jiabao all nodded in agreement.They all knew that after the second uncle's family got up, his family also gained a lot of glory.Not to mention anything else, just providing fodder and bran and crushed corn for the chicken farm, the family has a lot of money.It's dry outside, but his family's life is not worse than usual. If this is not thinking about the second uncle's family, then they have become white-eyed wolves?What's the difference between this and uncles and uncles?

Shenjiahe walks like flying, the distance from the second uncle's house to the Shen's house is not very short, and it didn't take long.He pushed open the door and happily told his wife the good news.

Fang Tianlin did not expect that the effect of the improved seed would be so good.He originally expected that the production capacity per mu would increase by half, but he did not expect it to increase by more than [-]%.He estimated that this has something to do with the successive improvement of various performances of the improved species, and it is also inseparable from the current drought.The harsher the climate, the more obvious the difference between the improved seeds cultivated through long-term irrigation with space water and ordinary seeds will be. On the contrary, in normal years, the gap will be much narrower.

Based on this calculation, the improved performance of the good breed did not exceed Fang Tianlin's estimate by much, and the results of his experiments were still reliable.

The second-generation improved varieties have this effect, so the performance of the third-generation improved varieties just harvested in the experimental field may be even better.

If Shen Jiahe knew this, he would probably jump for joy.
