The two sons of the old county magistrate did not return to their hometown, but still stayed here to farm.
"Thank you, my lords." At first, the two sons thought that Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo came to worship just to gather people's hearts as soon as possible. The performance during the worship was full of respect, and the attitude of the two of them improved a lot.After all, they want to inherit their father's behest and continue farming and looking for crops here. It would be even better if they can have the protection of two county magistrates.
"Prince, I wonder if I can see the crops your father has collected over the years?"
"Yes! Yes!" Mr. Wang nodded, took the two of them into the donkey cart, and headed straight to the ground.
Both of them were dressed in ordinary linen clothes, put on their feet, their shoes were covered with mud, and when they stretched out their hands, their nails were also black.Some people may feel that it is inappropriate, but Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo know that this shows that this prince, like the old county magistrate, is a person who personally farms.
Walking on the road, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo also had some problems. The two princes have been with the magistrate Wang for many years. Although they didn't find the real crops, they got something, especially some medicinal materials. They knew a lot.
While talking, Eldest Prince Wang jumped out of the car suddenly, Second Young Master Wang followed closely, and both of them ran over shouting loudly: "What are you doing!?"
It turned out that a group of people were using hoes to cut off or dig out the lush seedlings in the ground.
"Young Master..." These people should all be servants or farm laborers of Wang Gongzi's family, and they stopped when they ran out.
"I asked them to dig it!" A vigorous old lady stood up, "Your father has already let these things kill you! I can't let you die too!"
After hearing what the old lady said, Gu Cijiu and the two of them understood what was going on.
Wang Lao county magistrate died in search of new grain, and now there is no trace of new grain. Her two sons are both in their prime of life. If they don't go to school or join the army, they will be like ordinary people every day. in circles.From the perspective of Mrs. Wang, if these two sons continue like this, even if they are not poisoned to death like their father, then they will accomplish nothing in this life, right?If it goes on like this for a long time, I'm afraid the Wang family will be destroyed.
As outsiders, they can say that Mrs. Wang is short-sighted, but they cannot say that she is wrong.
——Everyone knows that finding new food is a matter of the world, but since it is a matter of the world, why let the Wang family do it, so that the old county magistrate died and was buried in another country.
This situation is similar to killing one person to save the world. Other than this person, others are naturally happy.But this person may not be happy, if this person is the protagonist, then he must be able to find a way to get the best of both worlds and save the world.If this person is not the protagonist, then he will definitely be labeled as disregarding the overall situation and being selfish, and he will die in the end, but at that time, he does not know whether he can save the world. Probably the protagonist will save the world in the end...
It can only be said that people are people, but when their own interests are damaged, most people will think "why is this unlucky/I must be the one who pays?!"
Mr. Wang and his two sons are people who are willing to give and take this as their lifelong ambition, but Mrs. Wang is unwilling to continue giving.Both sides are right.
"Dig!" Mrs. Wang gave an order, completely ignoring the pleas of her two sons, and staring fiercely at Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo, obviously to let them mind their own business.
"Slow down!" Duan Shaobo stood up.
"I know you are a new Daling, but this is my Wang family's field. My Wang family grows things by myself. I pay taxes every year. My Wang family has a lot of yours. Daling, you should also take care of my housework!"
"It's not a family matter!" Duan Shaobo not only did not retreat, but took a step forward, "Wang Quan and Wang Liang have both been called by me as subordinates, and they have also handed over the crops in the field to the county. Come, just take me to see the crops, and transplant them all in a total of time."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her complexion turned completely dark, and she slapped the eldest son Wang Quan on the face: "Is that how you spoiled your father's hard work?!"
Wang Quan burst into tears, but he was not beaten, but sad.
He can also dismantle Duan Shaobo's platform now, saying that what he said is all false, but the result is that his wife has uprooted all the things in the field-their wife's thinking is obviously that all their own things have been destroyed. It's just as it should be, if you give it to others, even if you don't want it, it's a waste.
But they felt that that was what completely ruined their father's efforts.Because their father, even when he was dying of hunger, wrote with trembling hands: "Remember how I died, starved to death. It's too uncomfortable."
"Niezi! Niezi!" Old Mrs. Wang was so angry and anxious that she passed out.
The two brothers of the Wang family knelt on the ground and asked the servants to hurry over and take Mrs. Wang home. Seeing Mrs. Wang get into the car, Wang Quan wiped his face and stood up: "Brother, you go home and take care of your mother!"
Wang Liang: "Brother..."
Mrs. Wang fainted. If Wang Quan didn't go back, he might be called unfilial, and that would be fatal.
Wang Quan naturally knew it too, but he still gritted his teeth: "Don't hesitate! Go home! I will move them to the county government here together with the two big orders!"
When Wang Liang heard this, he also felt that with his mother's character, he was so angry again. If he didn't care about it today, he might have a long night and dream.But wouldn't this be more disobedient to mother?But looking at his elder brother and thinking about his father, Wang Liang could only nod his head: "Brother, I will try my best to keep my mother safe."
Wang Liang hurried to the old lady Wang's ox cart, but Wang Quan, who was confident just now, was a little apprehensive: "You two commanders, I don't know..."
Duan Shaobo: "Of course I keep my word!" After speaking, he and Gu Cijiu both rolled up their sleeves and tucked their hems into their belts, "Don't gossip, just talk about what to do."
Now is actually not a good season for transplanting, but compared to being completely destroyed in the field, I don't care much about other things.There are two acres of various crops, and if [-]% of them survive, it is considered a success.
At the beginning, Wang Quan was worried that Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo were just doing superficial work, or they were not good at farming, which would cause trouble.It turned out that although these two people were indeed not good at farming, they were cautious and cherished the crops. Most of the roots of the dug out crops were wrapped in a small soil ball, which was well protected, so he was relieved.
Of course the three of them were not enough, and the rest of the servants and farm laborers called by Mrs. Wang were naturally left behind to help.When these people help, they are also very happy-they also know how their past masters got there, what is planted in these two acres of land, and they are the same people who live here. The owner is a bit whimsical, but it's always good.
A cart was loaded here, and Duan Shaobo took people back to the county government office. When he came back, he also arrested the guards, subordinate officials, Niu Er and other family members, as well as the people who drove in double-yellow chariots. .
Finally, before dusk, all the crops that were still alive, or that might still be alive, were planted in the garden of the county government.
Niu Er and Hu Liu directly set up an earthen stove in the courtyard of the county government, set up a big pot, put in the marinated ingredients they brought, and poured all the newly bought meat and vegetables into it. This is also an alternative hot pot.
Everyone ate and drank, Wang Quan was anxious to go home, but Gu Cijiu stopped him: "Wang Dalang, what is this?"
"Huh?" Wang Quan took a look, "Who must have confused the weeds in the field, we call this poisonous eggplant here, the fruit is small and astringent, poisonous and inedible."
As Wang Quan said, he was about to reach out and grab the poisonous tomato to pull it out, but Gu Cijiu grabbed it: "Don't! This thing can be eaten! What I asked you just now is Make sure, now it is sure."
"How can this be eaten?" Wang Quan was anxious for a moment, his father was poisoned to death, and he paid more and more attention to things like eating.In the end, he had to pull out the poisonous eggplant even more. He was quite strong, if Duan Shaobo hadn't stopped him in time, or if he hadn't let him pull out the poisonous eggplant, he would have pulled away a few leaves.
"I've seen this thing before! It's edible!" Gu Cijiu hurriedly shouted.
"Can you eat?"
"That's right! It's not the fruit that bears that you can eat, but the fruit that you dug up."
"No, it's also poisonous." Wang Quan shook his head again.
"Some can be eaten, some can't, you let us raise them, and we will know in the future!"
Wang Quan saw that the two of them did not seem to be casual people, but he was still worried: "My lords, if you want to try it, you can try it. The Yanrong people are here next time! Let's catch some Yanrong people to test the medicine, but don't worry. Don't come by yourself!"
Gu Cijiu & Duan Shaobo: "..." I thought this was a down-to-earth plant worker, but who knew that this toughness was also buried in his bones, so fierce.
The two finally persuaded Wang Quan, who was worried, to go away. Duan Shaobo asked [Senior Brother, what exactly are these soil eggplants?I remember seeing this thing just now, taro? 】He is not too sure, because there are taro in this world, it doesn't look like it.
[This is a potato. ] Gu Cijiu felt that it was not good for him to be too sure [[-]% may be. 】
【what? 】
The potatoes that modern people eat are actually the stems of potatoes. When potatoes are planted, the potatoes that germinate and take root are cut and buried in the ground.But potatoes bloom and bear fruit, and its flowers are quite beautiful, but the fruit it bears is poisonous, and it looks like a small tomato.
So why tomatoes were considered poisonous for a long time after they were discovered, this is also due to potatoes, many people confuse these two things.
However, although potatoes are said to be native to South America, their true origin is also questionable. Wild potatoes have also been found in other areas, but they have obviously not been excavated by the locals and cultivated as crops.
As an excellent cook, Gu Cijiu is very interested in crops—mainly in preparation for time travel, although according to normal rules, two crops that look exactly the same in different worlds do not necessarily taste the same, and many in reality There are poisonous and non-poisonous things that look alike, but because many worlds are the same as the source world of the mother, there are many things in common.
This poisonous eggplant is very similar to modern potato plants. The stems buried in the ground are also small fruits, even the largest ones are only the size of copper coins. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a wild potato.
[If this is really a potato, it will be fine. 】After Duan Shaobo was surprised, he looked at the potatoes in the field with hot eyes.
Gu Cijiu [Even if they are real potatoes, they have to be wrapped for at least three or four years before they can be eaten by humans. Besides, we don't know how much they will produce. 】
Thinking about ancient crops in terms of modern crops is a hooligan.Ancient peaches, like modern walnuts, were mostly pits with only a shallow layer of flesh on the outside.No matter how unpalatable modern peaches are, they are also more delicious than the pure natural and pollution-free peaches of ancient times.
The same is true for potatoes. Modern potatoes are potatoes that have been artificially screened and improved for thousands of years. The worst varieties, in ancient times, are all potato essences.
Duan Shaobo【Oh... I know too, just looking at the lives of modern people and looking at the world today makes me feel a little uncomfortable. 】
[Modern times have also passed from ancient times, and the road is taken step by step. ] Gu Cijiu kissed him 【When I get to Liangshan, I will also find potatoes to plant.If you encounter other crops, they will be sent to you at that time. 】
"I'm tired today, or should I leave tomorrow?"
"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't be tired after a night of conquest, let alone just moving some things?"
Although Duan Shaobo can be regarded as a veteran (che) machine (zi), he still didn't figure it out for the first time. When he understood it, he felt helpless: "You still want to..."
"no?"
"No! How could you not take good care of your body when you were young! Hurry up and leave tomorrow!"
"Aiya~~~"
The two laughed and laughed, then washed and rested, and the night passed.
The next day, Gu Cijiu bid farewell to Duan Shaobo before dawn, and took half of the troops to Liangshan - Liu Bo stayed in Nyingshui.
On the way to Liangshan, Gu Cijiu and his team unexpectedly encountered a pack of wolves!The wolves in this place are really arrogant.
Let's say that the two settled down in their respective counties one after another, and the first thing they did by coincidence was to run around the county to familiarize themselves with the situation in the county.
During this period, they did not forget to exchange letters and tell each other's situation.
If you want to develop a place in modern times, you must invigorate the economy of the place. In ancient times, if you want to develop a place, you must first make the local food self-sufficient.
The result of the connection between the two people is that this place is the most suitable for large farms and large ranches.
Here, there is a difference between intensive cultivation and extensive planting in terms of harvest, but extensive planting can grow more land, and they happen to have too few people and too much land, so in terms of overall harvest, it is the extensive planting that can grow more land. Get more and more.
Once the farm is up, the wheat bran, straw, and beans grown in rotation can feed a large number of livestock.As for the disease of the livestock, the two of them were also worried, but the people on the grassland also kept tens of thousands of livestock, so there might not be something wrong with them here.
The two discussed back and forth, and at the end of the year, they decided on a plan and went to Jin Ge to find the prefect.
Because the two hoped that the common people could use labor instead of labor, and they wanted to borrow a few blacksmiths to go back and make farm tools.After all, this matter is just a fantasy on paper, and ordinary people cannot be forced to do so.However, if you want to grow on a large farm, the current farm tools are obviously not enough.And, they don't even have seeds...
When I went there, I heard that the prefect had returned to Jin Ge, but when they arrived... the prefect ran away again!So the last thing they saw was Dudu Fan.
Dudu Fan is not a person who does not know the five grains, he is a general, but he can let the prefect rest assured that he will take care of the rear area of Huzhou, which is a kind of affirmation in itself.In recent years, the population of Huzhou has not increased much, but the population of Huzhou has not decreased under the circumstances of constant looting by the Yanrong people, rampant wild animals, and occasional natural disasters, which is enough to show his ability.
He could see the advantages of the large farm they were talking about in a place with a lot of land and few people, but at the same time he could see the disadvantages.
So Fan Dudu read the papers of the two men, was silent for a moment, and said: "Ordinary people don't have so many fields. In fact, this large farm has a lot of similarities with the farming method of the aristocratic family. You let the people use labor instead of labor to grow crops. The grain is from the county government, which is really good for Huzhou, but what good is it for the common people? Besides, if you want to farm land, you have to harvest the crops when the farming is busy, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"
The two of them had already been prepared, Duan Shaobo said: "The imperial court already has a policy of encouraging land reclamation. There are quite a lot of wasteland in Huzhou, and the people don't open up land. It's true that the population is small, but they are actually worried that they won't be able to manage it. There are many people who are worried about farming alone and will be in danger, so they would rather work as farm laborers than open up wasteland by themselves. If they see the big farm, the lower officials think that the government can come forward as a middleman in the future and let the common people exchange jobs with each other."
Dudu Fan nodded, approving what Duan Shaobo said.There is nothing to say about the lack of people, and there is no such thing as certainty.It is true to worry about danger.In Huzhou, some people went out to plow the land in the morning, and then they disappeared. If you are lucky, you can find stumps in the nearby wilderness. If you are unlucky, you will not see people alive or dead.So many people are with other people when they work as farmhands just to work.
Fan Dudu was concerned about the au pair, which was not unusual, but no one brought it up seriously.The common people help each other in building houses, weddings and funerals, etc., which is a kind of exchange of work, but it is now regarded as a human relationship.
"So, what you mean is to set an example for the common people and let them open up wasteland collectively."
"Yes, and even if there is a mistake in this matter, at least our two counties will have an additional grain income next year. And the new farm tools have been made, please come and have a look."
"Go back first, let me think about it for a day."
The two lived in Jin Ge for one night. On the second day, Fan Dudu directly sent someone to issue an approval document, allowing them to open the treasury to collect grain and grow grain next year. The blacksmith and the allocated iron materials would arrive shortly thereafter.
They didn't spend much thought on farm tools before this, but!Duan Shaobo is a killer in science!Although the direction of research is different, it is no problem for him to design a new plow through modern scientific methods.The plow he designed is more labor-saving and can be used for deep plowing. With slight adjustments, it can be used for both horse plows and ox plows.
After the beginning of spring, it is indeed the busy season for farming, so when the two of them conscripted for labor, they both said that half-children were fine.Except for a few families, a group of young people really came.But this group of young people, relying on the new plow, cultivated more than [-] mu of farmland in a short period of time.
At first, some people thought it was a fraud, but neither of them stopped anyone from watching, even if someone came and wanted to try plowing, they didn't stop them.
Afterwards, the common people discovered that what the two new county magistrates ordered them to plant were not seeds, but sprouted wheat seedlings.
The wheat seedlings hadn't been planted yet, and the imperial edict of King Qi's return to court had been passed down to the world, and the two of them just sighed separately, and then started to get busy again.Their status has already done what they can, and how the plot develops is beyond their control.
When it comes to harvesting in autumn, the people's intensively cultivated farmland will yield six or seven buckets per mu, and the hundred acres of land planted by the county government will yield between five and six buckets per mu.One hundred acres of fields, the harvest is too much.The common people looked at the carts of grain being pulled into the granary, their eyes were green!
Those teenagers who went to labor labor had heard Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo's "unintentional" tone, and those who had the courage to go back and persuade their grandparents to open up wasteland.
Just when the farmers were hesitating, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo called the elders from all the villages to the county to teach them how to grow seedlings and make fertilizer - because of this, their extensive farming can achieve the same harvest per mu as intensive farming. Almost even.The villagers went back to their villages and taught them to the villagers.
Some farmers felt that with seedling selection, the next year's harvest could be improved to a higher level, so they gave up the idea of opening up wasteland.But some farmers feel that this just shows that the new county magistrate also hopes that the people will be better and more land will be acquired.
Ningshui and Liangshan counties, and even the surrounding counties, began to experience the first wave of land reclamation fever.
In the newly built blacksmith workshops in the two county towns, the sound of blacksmithing continued day and night.The freshly baked agricultural tools were quickly sent to the fields.
Fortunately, in the next two years, there were no major natural disasters in Huzhou, and people and crops were able to carry it through.The Yanrong people did not go south in a big way either. Small tribes of about a thousand people came, and the prefects who made them addicted to fighting were beaten back.
At the beginning of the third year, the ranch was already small and large. In the fourth year, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo approached Dudu Fan with a new report.
Dudu Fan: "Mutual market? With the Yanrong people?"
So far, the Great Wei has not had any official trade relations with the Yanrong people.Zhao Shuwen has also done the matter of opening up the mutual market, but like many things he did, he failed to control this matter in the later stage, and almost caused troubles to attract Yan Rong people into the customs.
Fan Dudu listened to the explanations given by Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo, first nodded, then shook his head: "This is a big matter, I can't make the decision, you two go to Beijing."
"Yes, my lord."
This was originally what Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo meant. In the past four years, according to the plot, Zhao Shuwen should have done a lot of big things long ago, but until today, there has been no movement at all. The two have already confirmed that , this person should have replaced a child, so there is nothing he can do.
So, which child did he replace?
"Ah!" A little chubby sneezed and sat down on the ground.
"Thank you, my lords." At first, the two sons thought that Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo came to worship just to gather people's hearts as soon as possible. The performance during the worship was full of respect, and the attitude of the two of them improved a lot.After all, they want to inherit their father's behest and continue farming and looking for crops here. It would be even better if they can have the protection of two county magistrates.
"Prince, I wonder if I can see the crops your father has collected over the years?"
"Yes! Yes!" Mr. Wang nodded, took the two of them into the donkey cart, and headed straight to the ground.
Both of them were dressed in ordinary linen clothes, put on their feet, their shoes were covered with mud, and when they stretched out their hands, their nails were also black.Some people may feel that it is inappropriate, but Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo know that this shows that this prince, like the old county magistrate, is a person who personally farms.
Walking on the road, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo also had some problems. The two princes have been with the magistrate Wang for many years. Although they didn't find the real crops, they got something, especially some medicinal materials. They knew a lot.

It turned out that a group of people were using hoes to cut off or dig out the lush seedlings in the ground.
"Young Master..." These people should all be servants or farm laborers of Wang Gongzi's family, and they stopped when they ran out.
"I asked them to dig it!" A vigorous old lady stood up, "Your father has already let these things kill you! I can't let you die too!"

As an excellent cook, Gu Cijiu is very interested in crops—mainly in preparation for time travel, although according to normal rules, two crops that look exactly the same in different worlds do not necessarily taste the same, and many in reality There are poisonous and non-poisonous things that look alike, but because many worlds are the same as the source world of the mother, there are many things in common.
This poisonous eggplant is very similar to modern potato plants. The stems buried in the ground are also small fruits, even the largest ones are only the size of copper coins. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a wild potato.
[If this is really a potato, it will be fine. 】After Duan Shaobo was surprised, he looked at the potatoes in the field with hot eyes.
Gu Cijiu [Even if they are real potatoes, they have to be wrapped for at least three or four years before they can be eaten by humans. Besides, we don't know how much they will produce. 】
Thinking about ancient crops in terms of modern crops is a hooligan.Ancient peaches, like modern walnuts, were mostly pits with only a shallow layer of flesh on the outside.No matter how unpalatable modern peaches are, they are also more delicious than the pure natural and pollution-free peaches of ancient times.
The same is true for potatoes. Modern potatoes are potatoes that have been artificially screened and improved for thousands of years. The worst varieties, in ancient times, are all potato essences.
Duan Shaobo【Oh... I know too, just looking at the lives of modern people and looking at the world today makes me feel a little uncomfortable. 】
[Modern times have also passed from ancient times, and the road is taken step by step. ] Gu Cijiu kissed him 【When I get to Liangshan, I will also find potatoes to plant.If you encounter other crops, they will be sent to you at that time. 】
"I'm tired today, or should I leave tomorrow?"
"Well, I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't be tired after a night of conquest, let alone just moving some things?"
Although Duan Shaobo can be regarded as a veteran (che) machine (zi), he still didn't figure it out for the first time. When he understood it, he felt helpless: "You still want to..."
"no?"
"No! How could you not take good care of your body when you were young! Hurry up and leave tomorrow!"
"Aiya~~~"
The two laughed and laughed, then washed and rested, and the night passed.
The next day, Gu Cijiu bid farewell to Duan Shaobo before dawn, and took half of the troops to Liangshan - Liu Bo stayed in Nyingshui.
On the way to Liangshan, Gu Cijiu and his team unexpectedly encountered a pack of wolves!The wolves in this place are really arrogant.
Let's say that the two settled down in their respective counties one after another, and the first thing they did by coincidence was to run around the county to familiarize themselves with the situation in the county.
During this period, they did not forget to exchange letters and tell each other's situation.
If you want to develop a place in modern times, you must invigorate the economy of the place. In ancient times, if you want to develop a place, you must first make the local food self-sufficient.
The result of the connection between the two people is that this place is the most suitable for large farms and large ranches.
Here, there is a difference between intensive cultivation and extensive planting in terms of harvest, but extensive planting can grow more land, and they happen to have too few people and too much land, so in terms of overall harvest, it is the extensive planting that can grow more land. Get more and more.
Once the farm is up, the wheat bran, straw, and beans grown in rotation can feed a large number of livestock.As for the disease of the livestock, the two of them were also worried, but the people on the grassland also kept tens of thousands of livestock, so there might not be something wrong with them here.
The two discussed back and forth, and at the end of the year, they decided on a plan and went to Jin Ge to find the prefect.
Because the two hoped that the common people could use labor instead of labor, and they wanted to borrow a few blacksmiths to go back and make farm tools.After all, this matter is just a fantasy on paper, and ordinary people cannot be forced to do so.However, if you want to grow on a large farm, the current farm tools are obviously not enough.And, they don't even have seeds...
When I went there, I heard that the prefect had returned to Jin Ge, but when they arrived... the prefect ran away again!So the last thing they saw was Dudu Fan.
Dudu Fan is not a person who does not know the five grains, he is a general, but he can let the prefect rest assured that he will take care of the rear area of Huzhou, which is a kind of affirmation in itself.In recent years, the population of Huzhou has not increased much, but the population of Huzhou has not decreased under the circumstances of constant looting by the Yanrong people, rampant wild animals, and occasional natural disasters, which is enough to show his ability.
He could see the advantages of the large farm they were talking about in a place with a lot of land and few people, but at the same time he could see the disadvantages.
So Fan Dudu read the papers of the two men, was silent for a moment, and said: "Ordinary people don't have so many fields. In fact, this large farm has a lot of similarities with the farming method of the aristocratic family. You let the people use labor instead of labor to grow crops. The grain is from the county government, which is really good for Huzhou, but what good is it for the common people? Besides, if you want to farm land, you have to harvest the crops when the farming is busy, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"
The two of them had already been prepared, Duan Shaobo said: "The imperial court already has a policy of encouraging land reclamation. There are quite a lot of wasteland in Huzhou, and the people don't open up land. It's true that the population is small, but they are actually worried that they won't be able to manage it. There are many people who are worried about farming alone and will be in danger, so they would rather work as farm laborers than open up wasteland by themselves. If they see the big farm, the lower officials think that the government can come forward as a middleman in the future and let the common people exchange jobs with each other."
Dudu Fan nodded, approving what Duan Shaobo said.There is nothing to say about the lack of people, and there is no such thing as certainty.It is true to worry about danger.In Huzhou, some people went out to plow the land in the morning, and then they disappeared. If you are lucky, you can find stumps in the nearby wilderness. If you are unlucky, you will not see people alive or dead.So many people are with other people when they work as farmhands just to work.
Fan Dudu was concerned about the au pair, which was not unusual, but no one brought it up seriously.The common people help each other in building houses, weddings and funerals, etc., which is a kind of exchange of work, but it is now regarded as a human relationship.
"So, what you mean is to set an example for the common people and let them open up wasteland collectively."
"Yes, and even if there is a mistake in this matter, at least our two counties will have an additional grain income next year. And the new farm tools have been made, please come and have a look."
"Go back first, let me think about it for a day."
The two lived in Jin Ge for one night. On the second day, Fan Dudu directly sent someone to issue an approval document, allowing them to open the treasury to collect grain and grow grain next year. The blacksmith and the allocated iron materials would arrive shortly thereafter.
They didn't spend much thought on farm tools before this, but!Duan Shaobo is a killer in science!Although the direction of research is different, it is no problem for him to design a new plow through modern scientific methods.The plow he designed is more labor-saving and can be used for deep plowing. With slight adjustments, it can be used for both horse plows and ox plows.
After the beginning of spring, it is indeed the busy season for farming, so when the two of them conscripted for labor, they both said that half-children were fine.Except for a few families, a group of young people really came.But this group of young people, relying on the new plow, cultivated more than [-] mu of farmland in a short period of time.
At first, some people thought it was a fraud, but neither of them stopped anyone from watching, even if someone came and wanted to try plowing, they didn't stop them.
Afterwards, the common people discovered that what the two new county magistrates ordered them to plant were not seeds, but sprouted wheat seedlings.
The wheat seedlings hadn't been planted yet, and the imperial edict of King Qi's return to court had been passed down to the world, and the two of them just sighed separately, and then started to get busy again.Their status has already done what they can, and how the plot develops is beyond their control.
When it comes to harvesting in autumn, the people's intensively cultivated farmland will yield six or seven buckets per mu, and the hundred acres of land planted by the county government will yield between five and six buckets per mu.One hundred acres of fields, the harvest is too much.The common people looked at the carts of grain being pulled into the granary, their eyes were green!
Those teenagers who went to labor labor had heard Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo's "unintentional" tone, and those who had the courage to go back and persuade their grandparents to open up wasteland.
Just when the farmers were hesitating, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo called the elders from all the villages to the county to teach them how to grow seedlings and make fertilizer - because of this, their extensive farming can achieve the same harvest per mu as intensive farming. Almost even.The villagers went back to their villages and taught them to the villagers.
Some farmers felt that with seedling selection, the next year's harvest could be improved to a higher level, so they gave up the idea of opening up wasteland.But some farmers feel that this just shows that the new county magistrate also hopes that the people will be better and more land will be acquired.
Ningshui and Liangshan counties, and even the surrounding counties, began to experience the first wave of land reclamation fever.
In the newly built blacksmith workshops in the two county towns, the sound of blacksmithing continued day and night.The freshly baked agricultural tools were quickly sent to the fields.
Fortunately, in the next two years, there were no major natural disasters in Huzhou, and people and crops were able to carry it through.The Yanrong people did not go south in a big way either. Small tribes of about a thousand people came, and the prefects who made them addicted to fighting were beaten back.
At the beginning of the third year, the ranch was already small and large. In the fourth year, Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo approached Dudu Fan with a new report.
Dudu Fan: "Mutual market? With the Yanrong people?"
So far, the Great Wei has not had any official trade relations with the Yanrong people.Zhao Shuwen has also done the matter of opening up the mutual market, but like many things he did, he failed to control this matter in the later stage, and almost caused troubles to attract Yan Rong people into the customs.
Fan Dudu listened to the explanations given by Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo, first nodded, then shook his head: "This is a big matter, I can't make the decision, you two go to Beijing."
"Yes, my lord."
This was originally what Gu Cijiu and Duan Shaobo meant. In the past four years, according to the plot, Zhao Shuwen should have done a lot of big things long ago, but until today, there has been no movement at all. The two have already confirmed that , this person should have replaced a child, so there is nothing he can do.
So, which child did he replace?
"Ah!" A little chubby sneezed and sat down on the ground.
