scientific farming

Mrs. Li's birthday is on May [-]th, and today is only May [-]th.Song Wen chose gardenias with small buds, and only interspersed with some already bloomed gardenias to show the effect.

Seeing that Li Xiaowei wanted to invite the whole capital, he knew that the effect was good.

Xiao Lue counted the days and was somewhat worried: "When I was buying flowers, the gardener said that the flowering period of gardenias is short. If we wait for Mrs. Li's birthday, the flowers will wither or..."

Then the scene is ugly.

Song Wen said proudly: "General Xiao, you are underestimating me. If you can't let this flower grow on the wall, what kind of skill is it? Since I can grow vegetables and food on the wall, it is no problem to grow flowers in mere .”

Planting on the wall must solve the load-bearing problem-including the weight of the soil and the plant itself.The rest is the problem of water and fertilizer. In modern times, there is a nutrient solution specially prepared by the laboratory, plus an intelligent irrigation system based on the Internet of Things.Before Song Wenchuan came to the Dali Dynasty, their company had developed professional irrigation equipment, set up a huge monitoring camera, connected to a mobile app, and could plant like a fool, solving water and fertilizer problems with one click.

But this is the ancient Dali Dynasty...

Song Wen gathered all the carpenters together to discuss how to make a hand waterwheel.With only one bucket of water, ordinary women can also transport the water to the top of the flower wall by hand, and then set up a long bamboo tube with holes, and send the water to the long bamboo tube at the top, and use the dripping method for irrigation.

The flower wall is divided into three layers. There are drain holes under each pottery pot, and the excess water will leak to the bottom layer, so there is no need to worry about the root rot caused by excessive water.

The carpenters were very excited after hearing Song Wen's idea of ​​the hand-operated waterwheel, and after Song Wen drew a sketch of the main waterwheel on the spot, they decided to start work immediately.An old carpenter said worriedly: "This waterwheel is heavy when it is built. If it is to carry water, I am afraid that the woman is not strong enough."

"I've seen people put the potter's wheel here..."

Song Wen pointed to the corresponding position of Yuangulu on the sketch, "The ball bearing is used underneath. The ball can roll and can be used for strength. It is very light. The ball is usually made of iron. If iron is too expensive, you can also use stone or burn some hard Tao come out."

The old carpenter beamed with joy and scolded a group of excited young carpenters, only to calm down their excitement a little bit, but the one who took the sketch himself was shaking non-stop.

Xiao Lue went straight forward, reached out and took away the sketches from their hands.Before, he didn't know that what Song Wen asked them to do was such a powerful thing, otherwise he would never have let them come over directly.

"Xiao, General Xiao?" A young carpenter was photographed in Xiao Lue's aura, his eyes were chasing the sketch that was taken all the way, he didn't dare to resist, he just shouted weakly.

After all, the old carpenter had seen a lot of worlds, and the flush on his face slowly faded, waiting for Xiao Lue to speak.

Xiao Lue said: "Master Song will write a contract later, if you sign the contract, then you can continue to study the hand-operated waterwheel, and the hand-operated waterwheel in Li's residence also requires you to be the first Come. If you don’t sign, then my people will escort you out of the Li Mansion until the court promotes hand-operated waterwheels.”

Is this to guard them? !

Several young carpenters looked at each other, finally realizing what they had touched.In an instant, his face became ugly.

Song Wen was dazed for a moment, and quickly searched the memory of the original body, and found that there was no hand-operated waterwheel in Dali Dynasty.That's a big problem, and his face suddenly became serious.

Knowing that Song Wen understood, Xiao Lue ordered a servant of Li's mansion to go to the yamen to invite Qin Wenru.Song Wen has amnesia and doesn't remember the books he has read. This character is still very stable. He needs to write a contract. Qin Wenru is more suitable.

Carpenters have only seen sketches of the things they are used to making, and Song Wen just explained the principle roughly, so they can figure out one or two after scratching.

Song Wen, of course, hoped that they would all sign the confidentiality agreement: "You signed the agreement, and when the imperial court starts to promote it, you will be the first batch of people who can make hand-operated waterwheels. If they want to use it first, the price will naturally be higher.

You are not afraid of losing money, but if you don't sign..."

His eyes flicked to Xiao Lue's side, as if letting go of General Xiao.

However, Song Wen said with a smile: "As the county magistrate of Chang'an City, I am in charge of farming. A mere hand-operated water wheel is nothing. In the future, there may be other things. If you don't want to sign the contract, you may not be able to do ordinary carpentry in the future. I can't find it in the capital. These days, it's too pitiful to be away from home, isn't it?!"

The carpenters all looked at the old carpenter.They didn't expect the hand-operated waterwheel to make money at first, they only thought that this object was really good, and they remembered it when Xiao Lue mentioned the deed, and now they were beaten by Song Wen repeatedly, and there were still people all over their bodies beside them. The stern Xiao Lue stared at him, his whole body lost its way.

The old carpenter faced everyone's gaze and said with difficulty: "Okay, I agree."

The light in his eyes dimmed, as if he had aged a lot.

The other carpenters reluctantly agreed.

Now that they all agreed, Song Wen was not afraid that they would run away, so he asked Xiao Lue to give them the sketches, and first made them for Li's mansion's hand-operated waterwheel.

Qin Wenru came over within the time of a cup of tea. Hearing what Song Wen and Xiao Lue said, he asked with a strange expression, "Master Song is going to teach the court the waterwheel?"

Song Wen nodded.

Qin Wenru said: "Although Mr. Song is an official of the imperial court, but he is not an official of the Ministry of Industry, he can discuss whether to give this hand-operated waterwheel to the imperial court. General Xiao has never actually touched these things, and there are many things that can be manipulated."

What he meant was that there was no need to be so honest, and it would take advantage of the court for nothing.

Xiao Lue, he really didn't think about this problem, he just felt good when he saw the waterwheel.

He guards the frontier, where there is little land. In many places, the farmers have finally reclaimed the fields in the mountains. The farmers need to carry a load of water to irrigate the fields, but one mu of land needs to be watered frequently, which is not the case for any farmer's family. effort.What's more, you can't just guard the land on the mountain, and you have to plant other lands. Often after a year, you run at both ends. It's extremely hard work, but the harvest is cool.

If the matter of water is easy, the harvest in the field can be increased by a few percent, and the family can also allocate manpower to dig more fields.

Qin Wenru mentioned it, but Xiao Lue couldn't ask Song Wenda to hand it over to the imperial court. Oil prescriptions are nothing, and there are very poor people who don't use oil for a year.Xiao Lue was very annoyed at the moment, if he had known that he would not have used the oil recipe, he would have been able to use the waterwheel without the oil recipe.

Song Wen didn't hesitate at all, shook his head and said: "I hold it, it's better for the court to hold it. The court's hand, not only manpower, but also money can quickly make hand-operated waterwheels all over the country. At this time, the south is the first to plant The rice can be used, and we are about to plant rice in the north. Hurry up, this autumn harvest, maybe the granary at home can be full."

Suddenly, Xiao Lue lifted the front of his clothes with his left hand, knelt down on the ground with a puff, and suddenly gave Song Wen a heavy head-kowtow, and raised his head after the kowtow, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Xiao Lue thanked Master Song on behalf of the people of the world!"

After finishing speaking, there were two more bangs, adding up to three bangs.

In the Dali Dynasty, it was called a great gift with three ringing heads!

Song Wen looked down at Xiao Lue in front of him.

No matter before or after crossing, Song Wen has always felt that the world is full of ignorance, waking up, eating, doing things, sleeping, day after day, if you pay attention to the people passing by, they will all have empty faces.It's ridiculous to say that someone has a heart for the world here?

Song Wenxin shook violently, as if a ball of blood was ignited by a fire, respectful!

Swallowing and spitting, Song Wen said humorously: "General Xiao's ceremony is too heavy, I will shorten my life if I don't do it again." Seeing Xiao Lue hurriedly got up, he seemed afraid that his life would be shortened by his crow's mouth.

Song Wen only felt it was funny, feeling like a flying bird, wished he could rush to the Heavenly Palace, deliberately turned around and pretended to be busy and said: "I told General Xiao that I don't remember all the scriptures and history collections, and I will also be able to farm. Thanks to General Xiao's promotion, General Xiao can thank himself if he wants to."

Although Xiao Lue didn't agree with his words, but seeing Song Wen's appearance, he also knew that what he did just now was scary, so he just watched over him silently.

Qin Wenru knew what Song Wen and Xiao Lue meant. He came from an aristocratic family and was taught to put his family first in everything since he was a child. Song Wen and Xiao Lue suddenly appeared like Song Wen and Xiao Lue... He shook his head and took the pen and paper, feeling still good.Now I asked Song Wen what kind of contract he wanted to draft, Song Wen only asked them to keep it secret, and if it was leaked before the imperial court promoted it, Song Wen would be compensated 1000 taels of silver per person.

Qin Wenru is a son of a family, the deed is really easy, he wrote it for Song Wen casually, seeing him nod, he freely copied the number of copies corresponding to the number of carpenters.

Song Wen took the deed to the carpenters and asked them to press their fingerprints.

The carpenters had been waiting in the original house to make hand-operated waterwheels. The atmosphere was still lively, but when they saw the deed that Song Wen brought, the atmosphere suddenly sank.But I didn't say much, I got up and took the deeds one by one, and looked at the contents of the deeds, but everyone's eyes widened, looking unbelievable.

The old carpenter lost his voice: "Master Song, this, this contract... really as long as we keep it a secret? No, there is no need to sign the contract?!"

Other carpenters apparently thought so too.

Song Wen wondered, "It's just an object practice, and the imperial court will promote it in the future. Why do you need to sign a contract?"

Carpenters: "..."

If I had known earlier that I didn’t need to sign the deed, why would General Xiao stare at it? Master Song threatened to say that they are rushing to sign, just don’t go out and talk nonsense, and don’t get it out before the court promotes it. You can learn such a good thing. , Kill them all to sign!

General Xiao and Master Song mistaken me!

With such thoughts in mind, the carpenters looked at the two with complaints. Xiao Lue thought he was going to repent and was about to draw his sword, but when he saw the carpenters turned their faces and pressed their fingerprints happily, they were so impatient that they were not afraid of pain I bit my finger and went down in one bite, bloody.

Song Wen frowned.

Xiao Lue: "..." This carpenter is really weird!
