I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Ale really thought about it and asked: "Well... I think Lynx catkins have talked about how to draw maps before. Do you think we should go through it first? Anyway, it's just to see if there is a suitable place, and there is no need to draw the map. Draw it everywhere else."

Wei Siwen asked back: "Then do you know what kind of land is suitable for farming?"

Al really lay back down very simply: "If I knew, why would I call you?"

Wei Siwen also lay down with Xianyu: "If I knew, would I still be counting on the lynx cat?"

At this moment, Ale really had the same thought as Luo Shixing: what use are you for?

Cough cough, Wei Siwen is actually quite useful, at least it gave him a lot of ideas in governing the Ouluo clan.

While the two of them were melancholy blowing the wind, Luo Shixing was writing in the study.

There seem to be several methods for seed selection. Luo Shixing arranged them one by one, and the first three methods that were ruled out were winnowing, salt water and ammonium sulfate water.

Wind selection requires manual throwing of seeds and selection of the most suitable ones according to the wind force. Although this method is easy to operate, it requires a certain amount of wind force and is easily disturbed. Even the selected seeds may not be able to germinate.

As for the other two types, they simply need money. Salt is now an important source of income for them. Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse when investing in salt water is more profitable than food.

Then there is only the last one left, the muddy water seed selection.

The so-called mud water seed selection is to mix a certain proportion of mud water, and then throw the seeds in, and make the mud water into a suspension through constant stirring, so that the particles floating on it are basically bad seeds, just get rid of them directly.

As for the ratio of mud and water selection, later generations generally use a hydrometer to measure it, but what should we do now when there is no hydrometer?

Luo Shixing simply asked someone to take an egg, as long as the egg was exposed to muddy water and was the size of a five-cent coin in later generations.

It's just that his memory of five-cent coins is already very vague, so he simply took a similar ratio, which is not that strict anyway.

After Luo Shixing finished writing, he began to summon the slaves to mix the mud and water. At the same time, he brought all the indica rice seeds he had prepared before to prepare for seed selection. He also called two stupid adults down by the way.

He patted the clay tablet to Alejan and said, "Look at it first, and then learn how to do it."

Ale was really holding the clay tablet in a daze, always feeling that the style of the little lynx was more like a county magistrate than him.

But the other party has dry goods in his hand, even Ale really listened willingly.

Luo Shixing asked people to pour mud into the water bit by bit and then kept testing the ratio with eggs. Finally, when he finally met his requirements, he pointed to the eggs and said to Alzhen, "Did you see that? The eggs floated to this place." The degree shows that the muddy water meets the requirements, and the next step is to throw the seeds in and remove the first wave of floating on top, during this process, the soil inside will sink to the bottom of the water, so it needs to be stirred."

He let the slave operate while talking, and in the process selected many unsuitable seeds.

Halfway through, Luo Shixing called to stop and asked people to continue adding mud to it.

Alzhen asked curiously: "Isn't it already prepared just now? Why do you need to add mud?"

Luo Shixing pointed to the unqualified seeds that were selected to be cleaned and said, "Look, is there some soil stuck to it? When these seeds were fished out, the soil was taken away, so there must be not enough inside." .”

As he spoke, he gave Alzhen a strange look.

Do you need him to explain such a simple matter?Use your brain, you are not stupid usually, why do you look stupid now.

Al felt ashamed for a moment. He was mainly afraid that there might be something special about it, so even if he knew something, he couldn't be sure.

Luo Shixing didn't choose too many seeds, so he ran to Cheng Jingwei's greenhouse for raising seedlings to have a look. There were already layers of shelves inside, and a rough count could tell how many seedlings could be cultivated at one time.

Anyway, seed selection is not a very laborious thing, if it is not enough, then continue.

The only troublesome ones are those unqualified seeds. The seeds must not be planted, and it is not good to continue to store them as food, because they are easy to mildew when they get wet.

At the same time, Alzhen was also asking: "What should I do with these?"

"Eat." Luo Shixing said with a face of course, then thought for a while and turned to look at Alezhen: "I don't have enough manpower here, why don't you find someone to help me make something."

Al was really happy, and he didn't hide anything from Luo Shixing, let alone making something, even if Luo Shixing opened his mouth to ask him for someone, he would give it to him.

It's a pity that the little lynx doesn't add more people even if there are not enough people. Now half of the slaves can't survive, so the little lynx takes pity on them.

Luo Shixing said: "Make me a stone mill, I can use these."

Al is really willing to use his brain this time: "Are you going to make rice noodles?"

Luo Shixing nodded: "That's right, that's right, these are not easy to put away when they get wet, just make them into rice noodles and dry them in the sun."

As for the method of making rice noodles, he really didn't need to think about it, because the main food in the area was rice, and the yellow rice that Luo Shixing and the others ate before was all eaten by poor local people.

Among them, rice noodles are a kind of food that is often eaten in the local area. He directly ordered people to clean up the unselected grains.

Anyway, these grains themselves are also rice.

When the suitable seeds were selected here, Cheng Jingwei also came over there with Qu Yuanli.

In fact, Qu Yuanli had already made part of it before, this time he just assembled the various parts.

As soon as he entered the door, he said: "It's time for our iron smelting workshop to move. Didn't you say that both the plow and the plow wall need iron?"

Luo Shixing jumped up and ran over happily and asked, "Are you ready? Let me see."

Cheng Jingwei held the Quyuan plow in one hand and placed it in front of Luo Shixing. Luo Shixing looked at the wooden plow body and then at Cheng Jingwei's arm, feeling that he finally knew why this guy always thought he was thin.

Is this the strength a 13-year-old should have?

Not to mention him, even Ah Lezhen couldn't help pinching Cheng Jingwei's arm and said in surprise: "I've heard that the Central Plains' strange people are infinitely powerful, so it's true?"

Cheng Jingwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I haven't reached the point of infinite strength yet."

If that was the case, how could he have been bullied in the first place?I have already learned from the little lynx to copy the guy.

In fact, his strength has also been tempered little by little after his rebirth. In his previous life, when he was at this age, in other people's words, he was thin and gloomy.

Of course, he was able to exercise because Luo Shixing racked his brains and tried his best to supplement him with nutrition. If he could only eat enough, he wouldn't be able to reach this level.

Luo Shixing, whom Cheng Jingwei regarded as the greatest hero, fiddled with Qu Yuanli, got up and clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, let them get ready before the iron smelting workshop, the raw ore has also been transported to the warehouse, Fan Mo is also ready, let's do it directly Just do it."

Cheng Jingwei thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take people to open the terraced fields directly. Oh, by the way, the keel waterwheel is also on the agenda, right? It will be very troublesome to carry water for irrigation."

At this time, Wei Ziyao and the others also came back and asked, "Lynx cat, how long does it take to soak in the fishy water? Also, do you need to prepare the lime mirage that you mentioned earlier for deworming?"

Ale Zhen also interjected: "I discussed with Wei Weng before to divide the land, but now I don't have a map, and I don't know how to divide it. When will you have time to draw a map?"

Luo Shixing: ...

In particular, he wanted to ask Al really did he look like he was free?

However, in comparison, Ale’s real affairs are indeed more anxious. The division of land is not a simple and rough division. There may be many things involved in the middle. The time required may be longer than what it takes to make a curved plow, a keel waterwheel, and various agricultural tools.

Luo Shixing took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Cheng Jingwei and said, "You can use bamboo directly for the keel waterwheel. Prepare the bamboo first. It can be large or small, and it is easier than a large waterwheel. It will be customized according to the height of the terraces. You guys Open up the terraces first."

Cheng Jingwei also thought about it: "Then I'll take someone to collect the river clam shells first, not mirage ashes."

Luo Shixing nodded: "Yes, that can kill insects. By the way, there is also the fertilizer fermented before. After opening the field, I will get it together with the soil and raise the soil first."

He didn't need to say too much to Cheng Jingwei. After all, Cheng Jingwei knew many things in his mind, but he needed to confirm with Luo Shixing only when he encountered something he hadn't done before.

As for the other two, Wei Ziyao's matter has just been resolved, and the fishy water can be fermented, and it doesn't matter when they are used.

Ah Le is really like this, he thought for a while and then looked at Cheng Jingwei: "The plow shovel and the plow wall..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Jingwei said: "Didn't you already finish the model? I'll just lead someone to pour it directly, and you can do your work."

Luo Shixing nodded approvingly at him, turned his head to look at Alzhen and said, "Let's go, let's go and see where it is suitable for farming. Anyway, you are only dividing the fields, and you don't need to draw all the terrain around the county. I will draw out all the places suitable for farming and divide them up by yourself, oh, Wei Ziyao will follow me."

He can only see if the terrain is suitable. As for the quality of the soil, this requires experience. It is better to call Wei Ziyao, a person who has actually cultivated the fields among all people.

Wei Ziyao immediately followed after hearing this, and Ale was really taken aback by Luo Shixing's series of vigorous arrangements, and when he realized that Luo Shixing had already walked out of the courtyard gate and looked back at him wonderingly: "Let's go!" , why are you in a daze? Don't waste time."

Alzhen and Wei Siwen exchanged glances and quickly followed the two children.

It is impossible to walk around the entire county with your feet. Although the county is not big, the cultivated land must be in the outskirts of the county, so Alezhen temporarily transferred three horses.

This time he finally got his wish and carried the little lynx on the horse, and then listened to the little lynx and Wei Ziyao discussing whether the place is suitable for farming.

It has to be said that if there are no terraces, there are really few places suitable for farming. There are many mountains and few plains here, and the plains are generally by the roadside and water, which is not suitable for farming.

Alezhen asked: "Why are these places inappropriate? Isn't it easier to irrigate near the water?"

Luo Shixing felt that it was not easy to explain, so he said directly and rudely: "You remember that the soil in these places may not be fertile enough, and although it is easy to irrigate near the water, it is easy to be flooded once it rains."

Alezhen nodded seriously, and Luo Shixing gave the plains suitable for arable land. As for the terraced fields, it needs to go to the field for field inspection, and it will definitely not work if there are too many stones.

Everyone got off their horses and followed Luo Shixing. As he was walking, Luo Shi suddenly saw a yellow flower swaying in the wind.

One might not be appropriate, since the top of that plant is clearly a cluster of many flowers.

The more Luo Shixing looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he couldn't help but walk over and squat down to observe it carefully for a long time, the more it looked like rapeseed flowers.

But... no, rapeseed flowers are native to Central Asia, and were only introduced to flower growers in the [-]th century. How could they appear here?
