Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

026

At dawn the next morning, all the old farmers who were invited arrived. When they heard that it was about expanding the fields, these people were very excited. Many of them stayed up all night, thinking about the plan.They will look at each other, hey, your eyes are also red, and his eyes are also red.The red is red, and the faces are full of joy. This is a great thing, and the children finally don't have to be hungry.

Shen Miao also woke up early, and when she heard that the old farmers had arrived, she didn't even bother to eat breakfast.Wu Liu followed him and shook his head with a smile, took the food box in Duo'er's hand and said with a smile: "I will urge him to eat, you go to your own business."

Doer agreed to leave.

The steward was already busy in the front hall, arranging seats for the old farmers and arranging tea and food at the same time.

The old farmers don't care about these anymore, and many people said that it doesn't matter if they don't have a seat, just squat on the ground.

The steward knew that the old farmers were happy, but he didn't let them go. He immediately asked the servants to move a stool and place it along the two sides of the front hall for the old farmers to sit on.

Seeing this, the old farmers stopped squatting, and each found a place to sit.

The arrival of Wu Liu and Shen Miao immediately quieted down the boiling front hall, and the old farmers stood up and saluted one after another: "Master,..." Everyone didn't know Shen Miao, so they didn't know how to address him.

Wu Liu introduced: "This is Mr. Shen."

"Master Shen." The old farmers said in unison.

Being called by a group of seventy-year-olds, Shen Miao immediately scratched her head in embarrassment, and said repeatedly: "You don't need to be so solemn, just call Xiao Shen."

"..." The old farmers were taken aback.

Wu Liu smiled and shook his head, pointed to Shen Miao's location, and then gestured for the old farmers to sit down.

The old farmers sat down one by one, and Shen Miao sat on the main seat in the main hall according to Wu Liuzhi's instructions, and took out the pens and papers he brought, ready to record.

Wu Liu handed Shen Miao a steamed bun, then blocked Shen Miao with his body, and began to talk to the old farmers, while Shen Miao was busy eating the steamed bun.

"I invite you to come here today to discuss the matter. I think you already know that there are too many people in the village, and the chaos outside has begun. There will be more people in the future. When people come, we can't drive them away. We can only Try to take them in as much as possible, but we can't go hungry ourselves, so my father specially wrote to me, asking me to open a road in the mountains for everyone to cultivate and move in." Wu Liu explained the reasons for the matter in easy-to-understand words.

While swallowing the steamed buns, Shen Miao couldn't stop nodding, showing kindness first and then begging for trouble, a typical official style.

The old farmers stood up again and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, master, thank you, young master."

Wu Liu gestured again to sit down, and then said: "Developing land in the mountains is no different than in the plains. There will be various problems. You are all very experienced people. I invite you to come here to discuss and formulate a safe plan."

"Okay, okay." The old farmers nodded one after another, their faces full of expressions that I wanted to express my opinion.

When Shen Miao saw it, everyone said it was impossible. Not only would it waste time to repeat ideas, but it would also be easy to quarrel when there were disagreements.

Wu Liu smiled: "Let me bring it up, and discuss it one by one. If there are any omissions, you can bring it up again."

The old farmers nodded hurriedly, this is a good idea.

Shen Miao silently praised: Master!

"The first one is the rice paddy field. This time when we enter the mountain, we must build terraced fields to ensure enough rice output." Wu Liu said.

After hearing this, the old farmers all expressed distress. After looking at each other, the relatively experienced old man Zhang stood up and said: "Master, the mountains here are different from those in Bashu. Their mountains are all loose. Terraced fields can be opened from the foot of a mountain to the top of the mountain, and every one of them can be opened. Our mountains are solid, and there are stones under the soil layer. It is difficult to open, and there is not enough soil after opening. Fill it in."

Shen Miao frowned when she heard that, didn't Huangjian'ao Village open terraced fields?Why can't it be opened?

Wu Liu also said, "But I've seen terraced fields in other villages."

The old man Chen stood up and explained: "It's not that the terraced fields are absolutely forbidden, but only in specific places. First of all, it must be a depression next to two mountains, and the shape should be like a Chinese horoscope." Old man Chen changed hands, Putting an angle, "Secondly, it has to be on the positive side. Thirdly, there are usually streams and ditches in this kind of mountain depression. The ditches can't be big. If they are big, the terraced fields will be hollowed out no matter how well they are built."

Shen Miao heard the words and thought back to the location of the terraced fields in Huangjian'ao Village. It was indeed the case, Wai Bazi, Zhengyangmian, and Xiaoxigou. It turns out that there is so much knowledge about the terraced fields.

Old man Liu also stood up and added: "There is still a problem with opening the terraced fields. When will it be opened. It is absolutely impossible to open it in a rainy solar term like now. It must wait until the beginning of summer, when the weather is clear and the rain is less. Hurry up, at the time of the summer solstice, if there is a heavy rain that lasts for several days, the fields that have not been repaired in time will collapse."

"There is another point. The terraced fields are only opened in early summer, so there will be nothing to grow this season." Old Man Li added.

Shen Miao summarized the objections of the old men one by one, one is high terrain requirements, the other is tight construction schedule, the third is many accidents, and the fourth is missing this season's planting.

Shen Miao pondered, abandoning the terraced fields meant that the entire Zhuangzi had given up rice, an important staple food. In this era, there were no alternative crops such as corn and potatoes, and the abundant rain was not suitable for planting wheat.Without the staple food, no matter how much tea and silk is produced, it still cannot be exchanged for rice in a disaster year.

It must be resolved!Otherwise, all this has missed the fundamental point.

Shen Miao scratched the problem on the paper. The terrain is not a problem, and you can always find it if you search hard; You have to provide a certain reward, otherwise everyone will just want to farm the land and not contribute; as for the accident...

Shen Miao remembered what the old man Liu said: a few days of heavy rain during the summer solstice?He was taken aback, could it be a typhoon?So this place is similar to the place where he used to live. If so, he has a way to judge the typhoon.

After the typhoon is formed in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, it will land with the astronomical tide around the first and fifteenth day of every Lunar New Year. Not every one will land in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It can be judged by the intensity of the subtropical high. If the subtropical high is strong, the radius of the typhoon will be suppressed, and the coming typhoon The intensity will be great, but such a typhoon will not have much impact on mountainous areas, especially those far away from the sea, because the radius of the typhoon cannot cover it.Once a typhoon lands, the low pressure will fall apart due to the obstruction of the hilly area, and the resulting rainfall will mostly relieve the local drought.For mountainous areas, the most feared is the typhoon with a large tail and abundant rain clouds. After landing, it will form huge rainfall in a short period of time, causing disastrous consequences.

However, in Shen Miao's memory, such a typhoon would only land in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in a few years. Generally, the typhoons that landed were the ones that relieved the drought, which was actually beneficial.

If this is the case, the accident cannot be regarded as an absolute accident, and the construction period can also be extended. As for missing the planting of this season, there is no way to do it, but to miss it.An alternative would be for them to reclaim mountain land that is not suitable for terraces and grow alternative crops such as millet.

Thinking of this, Shen Miao spoke.
