Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 290 Promoting Rice Raising Flower Fish
"Liu Guanshi, why is this?" Zhou Zhifu also touched the rice on the ear when he heard it, and saw that the rice was slightly sunken when pinched, as Xie Fanyang said, and it was dry and not full. Why, he asked Liu Guanshi behind him.

"Returning to the master, the rice is planted on the mountain, and the land on the mountain is not suitable for planting millet, because the land is not fertile.

No matter how much fertilizer is applied, the land will not be fertile. It has grown to the maximum extent, and basically every household is like this. "The manager Liu was afraid that the master would blame him, so he quickly explained.

"That's true, this mountainous area is very suitable for growing vegetables and fruits, sweet potatoes, corn and other species that are easy to feed.

As for the cultivation of delicate crops such as millet, the harvest will naturally decline if they are unable to do so. "Xie Fanri on the side also nodded.

"Then Guanshi Liu, how much is the harvest of the millet planted on this acre of land?" Xie Fanyang asked again.

"Mostly one mu of land can produce about 320 catties, and if the harvest is better, it can produce 350 catties.

Most of the rice planted by other families in Zhuangzi is harvested in this way. "Then Guanshi Liu added later, fearing that the master would blame him if he didn't know about the situation.

"The harvest is a bit low, but if the rice is planted on the mountain, that's the only yield." Xie Fanri nodded.

"Actually, the harvest is not bad. If you plant in some fertile paddy fields under the mountain, you can only harvest [-] catties per mu of land, and you can only harvest [-] catties if you are worse." Liu said. Although the steward didn't know who the brothers and sisters of the Xie family were, but they were brought by the master and madam personally, so he knew that their identities were not simple. Then steward Liu also thought that the brothers and sisters of the Xie family didn't know how to harvest, so he explained to them.

"If one mu of rice is planted in fertile land, only four hundred catties of rice can be harvested?

Guanshi Liu, you are ignorant and ignorant, you just haven't seen it.

The paddy fields in our village, as long as rice is grown, can produce at least 450 catties of millet per mu of land. If it is well maintained, it is possible to produce [-] or even [-] catties per mu of land.

You don't have to doubt this. After all, the method of growing rice in paddy fields to increase production was only tried out this year, and it was only planted in a few villages near our Shangou Village.

Last year, my family used a new method to sow rice, and one mu of land produced 450 catties of rice. " Xie Fanri, who was at the side, saw that Guanshi Liu was ignorant, and he couldn't help showing off, putting on an air of a master.

Of course, there is one more thing, Xie Fanri saw that his elder brother came to see the rice harvesting for no reason, and he was afraid that his elder brother also wanted to tell Zhou Zhifu the way to increase rice production.

With the help of Zhou Zhifu, this method of increasing rice production will be advertised to the people of Dayun.

"Master Xie, what kind of method have you researched to increase the yield of rice?" Zhou Zhifu heard Xie Fanri say that they studied a method of rice that can increase the yield of rice. With an overjoyed look on his face, he hurriedly asked Xie Fanri.

Now is the troubled time, not only many people don't have enough food and clothing, but if the method of increasing rice production is implemented in Dayun Country.

In the future, many ordinary people, not to mention enough food and clothing, will buy and sell food for money to promote economic development when they have ample food at home. When paying taxes, they will not take money to pay taxes.

At that time, the national treasury will have sufficient food, and even if there is any war in the future, the food and grass will be sufficient, and the confidence will be full, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

"I didn't come up with this idea, it was my eldest sister who came up with it.

There is also a simple way to increase rice production in paddy fields, that is to breed rice flower fish in paddy fields.

Rice flower fish does not refer to a certain kind of fish, but a general term for fish raised in rice fields.Rice flower fish raised in rice fields can include grass carp, crucian carp, carp and other fish.

Because the rice is planted, the rice flower fish in the paddy field can use the weeds and pests in the rice field as fish food, and the excrement produced by the fish becomes the fertilizer of the rice, which in turn can increase the rice production.

The purpose of raising rice flower fish in the paddy field is not to make the fish bigger and fatter, but to increase the yield of millet.

And the rice flower fish are kept in the paddy field, so don't feed them. After the rice seedlings are planted in the paddy field, let the fish eat the weeds and pests in the paddy field by themselves.

After transplanting rice seedlings, you can't put the rice flower fish down immediately. After a month, you can put the fish down one after another.

Why did it take a month to raise the fish, because the seedlings were too young at this time, and I was afraid that the fish would eat the seedlings if they were released too early.

What's more, the fish that have just been transplanted into the paddy field should be about the size of an adult's three or four fingers. The fish should not be too big, and the weight should not exceed three catties. Otherwise, the fish will be too big Afraid of crushing the seedlings.

In the future, the seedlings will gradually grow up, and the fish will also grow up. Fish weighing three to four catties will be fine in the paddy field, and there is no need to worry about crushing the rice.

Of course, for such a big matter, the prefect of Zhou must have some doubts just by listening to my words. The prefect of Zhou can send people to our village to investigate for a while.

This year, the paddy fields in our village are all raised in this way to increase rice production. Counting the time, it was harvested in these days.

At that time, Zhou Zhifu only needs to send a few people to harvest a few acres of land, and then weigh it, and then he will know what to do.

After all, this is a big matter, so it's better for Zhou Zhifu to find out and report it. "Since Xie Fanri wanted to use the prefect Zhou's hand to advertise to the common people all over the world that raising rice flower fish in rice fields can increase rice production, he naturally would not hide the secrets of rice flower fish raising in paddy fields. inform.

He also sympathized with Zhou Zhifu for asking him to check and report.

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding. Master Xie's family is not simple! Everyone is talented." Zhou Zhifu also lamented the talents of Xie's siblings.

From his current point of view, one of them is an agricultural genius who actually came up with a way to increase rice production, and the other has excellent medical skills and specializes in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases. It is not an exaggeration to be called a miracle doctor.

A person who can read astrology, fortune-telling, star-gazing, and character-testing is a fortune teller.

As for the other three, although there is nothing out of the ordinary or strange at this time.

But to be able to be brothers and sisters with Master Xie and the others, it is not easy to imagine that each of their siblings is extraordinary, and the most important thing is that their siblings are extremely young and have unlimited potential in the future.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhifu summoned a servant, whispered a few words in the servant's ear, and the servant walked down the mountain.
