Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1333 Farming
As soon as autumn comes, the small cold wind blows from time to time, the frost seems to come earlier, and the leaves start to wither and turn yellow. Naturally, Fei Qian knows that the climate of this small glacier is getting closer.

How long will the Little Glacier last?

Fei Qian didn't know it clearly, but he knew that everything was being prepared to better deal with Little Binghe.Pure complaints and complaints are of no use. They can only do the current routine work well. Among these affairs, the most important thing is Nongsang.

With the further southward pressure of the frozen line, but people have no way to move with the frozen line all the time. Therefore, the greenhouse technology that can still obtain a certain crop yield in the severe cold of winter must be prepared in advance, so as not to be true. When the harsh winter of the Little Ice River came, I was caught off guard...

The former site of Shanglin Garden in Chang'an.

Shanglin Garden was originally just an old garden site in the Qin Dynasty. It is impossible to test what it was called at that time. Anyway, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty expanded it to form a large-scale palace complex.

When Shanglin Garden was the largest, it was more than [-] li in length and width, with the Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, 潏, 滈, Chan, and Ba waters flowing in and out of it. It was not only a beautiful scenic area, but also a place for royal training. The Habayashi Army is stationed here, and General Wei Qing Huo Guang and others also move towards the glorious historical stage from here.

With the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shanglin Garden gradually went into decline. First, it was criticized by ministers from all walks of life, and Shanglin Garden was hung up for criticism at every turn. and then?How can we not only take care of the country, but also take care of agriculture and mulberry?These ministers immediately raised their eyeballs, saying that it is a great fortune for them to be able to offer their opinions, how could they let themselves think about the detailed rules of the operation?
In desperation, Emperor Han Yuan began to reduce the scale of Shanglin Garden and distributed some land to the poor for use. The same was true for Emperor Han Cheng, who continued to cede land to the common people, so there was a lot of praise in the court, saying that the emperor did a good job. This prodigal move It was very popular, and everyone was laughing, especially the aristocratic families in Guanzhong, because these people knew that it would not take long for the land that was confiscated to the poor to fall into the hands of the major gentry families in Guanzhong...

In the end, when Wang Mang arrived, the Western Han Dynasty completely declined, and Shanglin Garden disappeared amid natural and man-made disasters and ceased to exist.

Now, here, it belongs to Fei Qian.

"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, this is Putao Palace...the foot of the mountain over there is Fuli Palace..." Zaoyi took a roll of bamboo slips, unfolded them, and checked the terrain on the bamboo slips. , "...It should be here..." 200 years have passed. Even though Shanglinyuan still had some things in the Western Han Dynasty, it is almost buried in the grass and loess now. How can there be any exact address.

Fei Qian raised his eyes and looked into the distance. This piece of land was originally selected as the planting palace of Shanglin Garden, which shows that the land is still good. Although it is close to the mountain, there is also a small stream on the mountain. There should be no major problems for irrigation, so he nodded. Said: "Let's go here, let the people from the Engineering Society come over tomorrow, cooperate with your farmer, and open up a few pieces of land first... Come on, let's go down and have a look..."

Talking about the Agricultural Society, those seeds that were sown in the fields have also been harvested heavily this autumn with Zhuanghe...

Zaoyi's Agronomy Association has played a huge role in the implementation of the new land policy. Although the process has fluctuated slightly, the current momentum is unstoppable.

The problem that Xu Shu once thought was quite difficult, when it came to Fei Qian, it seemed to be solved naturally, which made Xu Shu sometimes shake his head and sigh.

Farmers in the Han Dynasty were basically illiterate and did not have any source of information. In the past, they could only listen to what the pavilion chief and the village chief and others said, but now there is an extra farmer...

Most of the farmers in the Han Dynasty were illiterate. Their farming was more of the experience handed down by the older generation. Because they did not have knowledge, it was difficult for them to conduct special research. As for those who had read books, they generally Under normal circumstances, it is rare to go to the field, let alone to improve any farming and mulberry.

Although these agricultural gentlemen under Zhengxi's command can only read some words superficially, these people can already record most of the data in the field, or make interesting adjustments and attempts. Every adjustment and attempt can be obtained. Different results, and these results become valuable experience, which is conducive to the next improvement.

These farming gentlemen are amiable, more approachable, and closer to the lives of ordinary farmers, because most of these farming gentlemen are from ordinary peasant households. Although their accents may be slightly different, they are naturally more It is even more liked and accepted by farmers in Guanzhong.

There is another very important reason. These farming gentlemen have salaries and guarantees, so they don’t need to worry too much about small gains and losses, and they spend more time experimenting than ordinary farmers. Coupled with the successful experience of the Pingyang experimental field, the Guanzhong three The harvest in the auxiliary area is significantly more this autumn.

If you can produce more food, your words will have weight.

He can explain the principles of farming, and he can go to the field to demonstrate it himself. He can also feed his family for a few more days, and even teach his silly child to recognize a word or two when he is relatively free. These farmers can't wait to take out all their hearts, liver and lungs and serve them warm.

Especially after the first batch of autumn harvests, after really feeling the increase in production brought about by agricultural technology, this kind of enthusiasm is like a blowout, which cannot be suppressed at all.More than once, Fei Qian saw Mr. Farming being dragged by the enthusiastic Guanzhong farmers when it was time to eat dinner, and they quarreled with each other about which restaurant to go to for a meal.

The head of the pavilion and the head of the village, which was originally held high in front of the farmer, had to lower his head now, and he didn't even dare to say a word of ill, otherwise he didn't have to do anything specially, and he might be taken yellow by the farmer who had tasted the sweetness. The mud was smashed all over his head and body, and the head of the pavilion who was a little bit on the edge ran to Zaoyi every two or three days, and Zaoyi would send a few more farming gentlemen to him after he stalked him...

Under such circumstances, the countryside is no longer controlled by these aristocratic nobles and nobles in the countryside. When the tricolor flag takes root in the fields of Sansuke, these Guanzhong nobles who usually comment on this and discuss that Haoyou, when he found something was wrong, he was already helpless.

Drive Mr. Farmer out?
The clansmen who have already tasted the sweetness may immediately turn against it!

The new land administration of the general who conquered the West increased the expropriation of large landlords, but for those small landlords, it was basically the same, but for farmers with less land, it had no effect at all, or even worse. It's good, the gentry tyrants were able to hide this information before, they just said that the officials who conquered Xintian in the west would seize the land and reclaim the land, but now the farmers listen to Mr. Farming, it's not the same thing at all!
Food is the paramount necessity of the people, this sentence is not just talk.

When General Zhengxi can feed more Guanzhong people, General Zhengxi will be the sky in the hearts of these Guanzhong farmers!

And now, Fei Qian is going to add another fire to the already warming stove!

Speaking of it, the human brain is really an extremely mysterious organ. Although there is not much difference in structure between ancient people and modern people, there is at least several orders of magnitude difference in the amount of information.Modern people accept the baptism of various new technologies and new ideas every day, so they have long been accustomed to new things appearing casually in their lives. Even if they have never seen it before, the surprise may pass.

However, the people of the Han Dynasty were different. They harvested three or five buckets more than one mu of land. Because of the ethnic integration of the Hu people several times, I have been walking in the same place for a long time. Although some new tools will appear, to be honest, these tools are actually more improvements than innovations.

Because of this, when Fei Qian said that he was going to plant Zhuanghe in winter, Zaozhi couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the head of General Zhengxi. Could it be that he was sick and confused?This Fei Qian also bears the name of General Zhengxi, if ordinary people dare to say this, most people will probably be regarded as crazy...

Although Zaozhi didn't dare to claim to be the master of Nongsang, he really couldn't believe it after hearing Fei Qian's so-called "rhetoric words". Can he still grow Zhuanghe in this winter?But looking at Fei Qian's serious face, Zaoyi could only accompany him for a trip, as if he had completed a whimsical idea of ​​General Zhengxi.

At the foot of the mountain, Fei Qian chose a place at random, and dug some soil with his scabbard to look at it. The rot layer on the surface was not too thick, and it slowly turned into loess and gravel at a depth of about ten centimeters. It's not great, but it's okay.

"All of you spread out and have a look...Look around to see if there is a better place..." Fei Qian waved his hand and asked the guards to go down to survey the land, then turned his head and said to Zaozhi, "After finding a suitable place, let Let’s build a frame first, let’s use wooden walls for the time being... although it will cost some wood... I will gradually change it to earth walls later, and then I will ask the people in the workshop to send colored glaze over to use as a ceiling..."

"Liu Li?" Zao Zhi's eyes widened in surprise, "What is Liu Li doing? Use Liu Li as a ceiling?"

Fei Qian nodded. There is no plastic film these days. If you want to grow greenhouse vegetables, the only thing you can use is colored glaze.As for pure glass, it is still impossible to complete it when the purification process is difficult to achieve.

"Liu Li? My lord, are you sure you want to use Liu Li? This seems to be presumptuous!" Zao Zhi reconfirmed, looking at Fei Qian like looking at a prodigal son.This is colored glaze, not just random rubble. If colored glaze is used as a roof, even a prince needs to be divided into three or five grades, and it can't be used casually.

"Arrogance?" Fei Qian laughed and said, "Nongsang is the foundation of the country, so what's the arrogance? Besides, there are no people living in this shed, only some melons, fruits and vegetables, etc. Is it possible that I have to argue with these Zhuanghes?" What arrogance is not arrogance?"

"Can't live with people?" Zaozhi nodded, then shook his head again, "A lot of money can make money, how can you get around it if you can't live with people? The so-called three people become tigers, they always fall into the trap of others..."

Fei Qian scratched his head, wondering if it was because he hadn’t washed his hair for several days, and he walked through the mountains and forests again, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little itchy, “So first build the fence, then the low shed, use it, it must be colored glaze, there is nothing to replace it It's..."

"Only colored glaze?" Zaoyi reconfirmed.

Fei Qian nodded.It is true that only colored glaze can be used. Although it is also possible to use crystal, the cost of crystal is much higher than colored glaze. What's more, Feiqian made his first bucket of gold through colored glaze in the earliest days, and now he doesn't need any bragging rights. The twisting process does not require any special shape, it only needs to burn a piece, which is very convenient.

"Okay..." Zaoyi suddenly remembered Fei Qian's other nickname, shook his head, and could only sigh.

"Zijing, you have to think like this..." Fei Qian pointed to the piece of land in front of him and said, "Liu Li is a dead thing, and it is valuable only if someone buys and sells it there, but now look, who will buy it? It can be eaten but not worn. If it is really used to grow Zhuanghe, dead things can be easily turned into living things... Think about it, don’t you want to eat leafy vegetables in winter? Don’t you want to eat melons and fruits? Although the initial production is not much, but After all, it’s extra! No matter what, it’s better than putting a bunch of dead things in the ground, right?”

In fact, the winter greenhouse can only be considered as a small-scale supplement. It cannot solve the problem of food and clothing like staple food, but it can solve part of it. Most importantly, this thing will have a strong stimulating effect...

"Is it really possible to grow Zhuanghe melons and fruits in winter?" Zaozhi still didn't quite believe it.

It's not that Zaozhi doesn't believe it, but that farming and mulberry is a big deal these days, and it's a very serious matter that can't be joked about.This is a cognition developed over hundreds of years. Even the emperor, during the spring plowing season, needs to issue special edicts to the counties and counties around the country to persuade farmers. Not only that, the emperor also needs to go to the fields to plow the land in person, and the queen has to go to the mulberry tree The collection of mulberry leaves in the forest is used as a demonstration to show that the royal family attaches great importance to farming. If Fei Qian spends so much money on people and wastes nothing, the well-established reputation may become a laughing stock...

"It can be planted! Not only do we need to plant greenhouses, but we also need to plant them in the future..." Fei Qian swallowed half a word, after all, he has not got the seeds yet, "Don't worry, I can definitely do it!" Although he said so, But Fei Qian has no idea, after all, Fei Qian has no experience in greenhouse vegetables, and everything needs to be handled by Zaozhi's farming gentlemen, but the problem is that Fei Qian can't show it, otherwise he loses confidence doing what?
"Then, well...what do we need to plant?" Zaozhi asked.

"Uh..." Fei Qian got stuck, "Grow some beans? Cucumbers?"

Zao only covered his forehead.

Fei Qian patted Zaozhi's shoulder in embarrassment, and said, "That's why I called you here... Don't laugh, really, you are an expert... After the greenhouse is built, what kind of seeds should you choose? Which one is more suitable, what is the temperature in the greenhouse, what is the amount of water, whether to add smoke pipes for heating, how to improve the ventilation, all these need to be adjusted slowly in the future... Fortunately, Zijing, you have also operated the experimental field in Pingyang Yes, it's actually the same...really the same..."

Zaoyi stared at Fei Qian, shook his head and sighed, and said helplessly, "Well, I knew it would be like this..."

Even though he said this, Zaozhi also had a faint hope in his heart. If Zhuanghe could really be planted in winter, what an exciting thing it would be...
