Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 46 The Seed of Happiness

There is a big brick house next to the fishing ground. Not only is there a lot of fish and grass feed stocked here, it is also a temporary residence for Shi Dalang and other young men who guard and manage the fishing ground. Unabated, so after adding tens of thousands of big fish in reserve, half-grown boys like Shi Dalang became even busier. Every day, they had to go to the chicken farm and pig farm to carry the workers over there to help them collect them. Chicken manure and pig manure, and mix them into the forage to make fish food.

When Sun Xiangfu came, Shi Dalang and some boys in the village were throwing fish food, and Sun Erli was also here to help him.

"Brother Xiangfu is back."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu, these half-grown boys were overjoyed, threw away the fish food in their hands, and ran towards the house.

"Well, let's come and see you. I'll pick you up next month on the eighth day of the lunar month to have a wedding in Chang'an. Brother, I'm getting married."

Hearing what Sun Xiangfu said, Shi Dalang and the others looked happy, but fell silent again. They had a heavy task, they had to stay in the fishing ground to feed the fish, and they might not be able to go to Chang'an.

"Hehe, these physical tasks can be done by finding some helpers. Do you plan to spend your whole life feeding fish in this fishing ground?"

Sun Xiangfu patted Shi Dalang's shoulder, which was getting stronger day by day, and said.

"Actually, it's good to feed the fish." Shi Dalang hasn't seen much of the world, and he just feels at ease when he sees fish in the reservoir that can't be eaten. "Shi Dalang whispered.

"Yeah! I also think it's good to plant a field for a lifetime, but you can't just plant one crop in one field, so I will have new tasks for you later, and you just need to follow me and research more advanced As for the fish farm, you can choose two people among them, and recruit some mature workers."

"Understood, brother Xiangfu, I will listen to you."

Shi Dalang seemed to recall the scene when Sun Xingfu first taught him how to raise fish. Now, most of the middle-aged and middle-aged people in the village basically know this. As long as workers are hired, he can completely get out.

After chatting with Shi Dalang for a while, Sun Xiangfu and Sun Erli went to the chicken farm, which is now the site of Aunt Cuihua and Nie Sanniang.

The house of the chicken farm was built before the houses of the villagers. It was simply a few long strips. In order to prevent wild animals such as weasels from stealing the chickens, some big white geese were raised to guard the chickens.

"Xianfu is back, have you eaten yet?" Aunt Cuihua put down her work and came out together with many female workers from the chicken farm.

"Have eaten, how is Aunt Cuihua doing recently?" Seeing the happy expression on Li Cuihua's face, Sun Xiangfu asked for nothing.

"Of course, it's great. The chickens in our village have finally started to lay eggs. See if there are any baskets in the house. There are thousands of eggs a day!"

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu looked into the baskets in the house, and sure enough, there were dozens of baskets of eggs piled up inside. In terms of the number, there might be tens of thousands of eggs, so he asked again, "How many adult chickens are there in our chicken farm now?" gone?"

"There must be more than 2 chickens! There are still thousands of chickens, but after the cold weather, the chicken dealers don't send them here anymore." Aunt Cuihua said with some disappointment. In her opinion, the whole Chaishan It should all be turned into a big chicken coop, and dozens of millions of chickens should be raised in it. In this way, the eggs produced every day can be piled up into mountains, and they can't be eaten up no matter how much they eat.

"Well, this year's scale is enough. When the village has production next year and can buy a large amount of grain to make chicken feed, it won't be too late to expand. However, you should pay attention to separating those chickens that lay eggs from those that don't. The chickens are separated, and the chickens with higher egg production should be given more food. As for those chickens that do not lay eggs, kill them and eat them!

Also, don’t be reluctant to give these eggs to the villagers. There are few people in our village, and each person eats two eggs a day, which is only a few hundred. Uncle De found a shop in Chang'an, which specializes in selling eggs from chicken farms. "

"okay!"

Li Cuihua nodded and remembered Sun Xiangfu's words. Nie Sanniang seemed to have something to say. Her major is not raising chickens, but silkworms, weaving, and making clothes. , she has nothing to do, so she can only come to the chicken farm to help.

"San Niang, just say what you have to say!" Sun Xiangfu looked at her and said with a smile.

"It's like this. I think it's a big place in Chaishan. It's a waste to build a chicken farm. I want Dali to plant mulberry trees on the mountain after opening the village next year. This mulberry tree is the cutest, and it can just feed the chickens. By the way, we can also raise some silkworms." Nie Sanniang pointed to Chai Shan who was about to be cut bald by the two brothers Wang Fu and Wang Gui.

"Well, your suggestion is very good, but mulberry trees don't grow up in a year. I want to take you back to Chang'an to be a steward of my house this time. What do you think?"

Sun Xiangfu's eyes lit up when he heard Nie Sanniang's proposal. He likes to use this kind of brainy person the most. He can draw inferences and make up for things that he didn't think of at the moment.

"Me, go to Chang'an? Then my house..."

Nie Sanniang hesitated, after all, she still had three children to take care of.

"Go all, when you come to my house, you can still ask someone to teach them how to read and write. You know, I am now a seventh-rank official, not worse than the county master. My house was bestowed by the emperor himself. The Duke's Mansion is not small."

When Sun Xiangfu said this, Nie Sanniang knelt down on the ground. She couldn't say how grateful she was, but kept crying.

"What are you doing! This kind of thing is not popular in our village, and the children in the village will have books to read in the future. With so many profitable industries in our village, can't we afford a few teachers who teach?"

Helping Nie Sanniang up from the ground, Sun Xiangfu saw many pairs of red eyes. In less than half a year, the whole village has changed so much that they couldn't believe it. It was all brought by Sun Xiangfu. Yes, after returning home, these women will definitely educate their children and be grateful to Sun Xiangfu who brought them everything.

After coming down from Zuochaishan, Sun Xiangfu went to the pig farm in Youchaishan. Now, the first batch of piglets have been fed for almost three months. They have grown up with Sun Xiangfu’s method of castration and captive breeding, plus fermented feed. It has reached more than a hundred catties, which is a weight that Zhao Da could not raise in the past year. While exclaiming his magic, he strictly implements the daily breeding according to Sun Xiangfu's method. Now more than half of the strong men in the village live Working on the pig farm, because now there are nearly a thousand fat pigs here, and the pig feed that needs to be made every day is tons, which can make everyone busy.

It is also asking Zhao Da to invite workers to continue to expand the scale, and by the way, ask him to personally kill a few fat pigs, and have a big dinner in the village public house tonight.

At dusk, the craftsmen from the surrounding villages all went home, and more than 100 villagers from Xingfu Village gathered in the hall of the village public house. In the kitchen, the cooks cut meat and killed fish. In the hall, Dozens of charcoal stoves with iron pans were fired, and the soup with big pig bones was boiled.

The method of making the hot pot only needs to be dictated by Sun Xiangfu, and no one will know it. There is a lot of meat today, and the three pigs killed more than 200 catties of meat, which is not counted as the offal for the craftsmen to take home, so the rice You don't need to cook much, just eat pork and fish and you will be full.

Uncle De came to Xingfu Village for the first time, and he didn't want to leave. No wonder Sun Xiangfu said that he would take his younger siblings to Chang'an. The two little guys would look unhappy. There was no gorgeous opening remarks. It was to ask everyone to eat first, and when they were full, he would say a few more words to everyone. As a result, the whole village public house was filled with fragrance and the sound of eating and drinking. After about half an hour, Sun Xiangfu walked to the center The position of the podium is ready to say a few words to you.

"I believe everyone has seen the benefits of hiring workers this month! With these workers, we can quickly promote the development of the village at a very low cost. Therefore, we will rely heavily on hired workers for future production and expansion. .

And how do we manage these hired workers and expand our village's industry?

In addition to formulating strategies, each of us also needs to be literate, and we need to know more and know more. Therefore, the first priority of the village is to eliminate illiteracy. People, after receiving my letter from Chang'an, they knew what they were going to do and how to do it. "

When Sun Xiangfu said this, the villagers who were full in the hall were stunned. Let them, the farmers, read and write. Sun Xiangfu's idea is bold enough, and the bold villagers have never thought about it. It is authority, and everyone must implement it unconditionally, so it is useless to be in a daze, just be ready to learn.

"There are no crops to grow in the winter. During this time, I will find someone to teach everyone how to read in the village commune every day. This Zhang Hong is a servant in my house. He can read and he has two helpers." In the future, I will teach everyone how to read and write, and in addition, all children over the age of seven and under the age of 12, regardless of gender, will be brought to Chang'an by me, and a special teacher will be invited to teach them how to read."

"boom······"

Hearing Sun Xiangfu's words, the hall became lively in an instant. They had to learn to read, and their children had to study. This was something they had never dared to think about before, but now, because of the Man, easily did it.

Under the leadership of Wang Fu, Wang Gui and other people, the villagers wanted to get out of their seats and bow down to Sun Xiangfu, but Sun Xiangfu refused. There were only ten or twenty qualified children in the village for them to study. A little expense is nothing, as long as the villagers in Xingfu Village accept his ideas, then when these seeds bloom everywhere in the Tang Dynasty, this country will become extremely powerful. Only in this way can Sun Xiangfu live in this world. Easy days.
