The overturning is to use manpower to step on the overturning plate to lift the water. The labor intensity is very high, and the water lifting height is limited. However, Hezhou is a mountainous area, and the fields are in the form of terraced fields. Most of the fields are high in the canal river, and the water in the canal cannot be transported up by the overturning truck. Qihang Novel~ Read novel online [-Female 001-

That is, if it rains, it can grow rice if there is water. If it is drought, he can only use a bucket to pick it from the canal at the foot of the mountain to the fields on the mountain to irrigate it.

Otherwise, they would have to be abandoned. Zuo Shaosian began to understand why a strong laborer could plant five acres of land in the early Tang Dynasty. This was so unbearable that he could not stand the water-carrying irrigation alone. Zuo Shaoyang's parents' hometown was also a mountainous area, which was very backward. Even the lighting electricity was only two or three hours at night, and it was a little brighter like a fireflies. Agricultural machinery was basically handmade agricultural tools, and advanced agricultural machinery such as water pump irrigation could not be used even if they bought it, and no one was willing to spend the money.

The local irrigation tool called a high-rotary truck is used to irrigate the irrigation tool. There is a large wheel at the height and the lower part. The one below is a water truck. The two wheels are connected by wooden barrels. Using the characteristics of large drops in the mountains, water power is used to push the water truck, transport a bucket of water to a high place, and then use bamboo tubes to guide the water flow to the fields where water is needed. Zuo Shaoyang has told Miao Peilan and others about General Feng Li's soldiers who want to help farm the fields in Hezhou. After seeing the situation of the cultivated land, he asked Miao Peilan: "I said before that if there are plowing oxen, you can plant ten acres of land, because you can't get busy with turning over and rob the farming time. Now, with Feng Li's soldiers, how much land can you plant?

", Miao Peilan glanced at the field in front of her: "If it is a field that can be irrigated by overturning, I can plant thirty acres." Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "If I design a machine that can be sucked up without stepping on the water, you don't have to step on the overturning and watering, how much land can you plant?", Miao Peilan was very surprised: "There are really such agricultural tools?", "Yes! Don't worry, I have a way.", "If you don't need someone to step on the overturning and irrigate, I can plant fifty acres!", Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Don't be so tired. You have to help me plant the ten acres of barren slopes and plant medicinal materials. Let's choose twenty acres to plant and plant them according to my method. I want them to see the benefits of our new method." Don't use too fertile fields, so as not to say that they should produce too much grain in the future*..."

"Okay! Just get close to the twenty acres of land on the deserted slope where we chose to plant medicinal materials last time. This will also facilitate planting medicinal materials."

Although these twenty acres of land are flatter than ginseng, they cannot be irrigated on high slopes far away from the water source. They are the lowest-level fields. However, they are in line with Zuo Shaoyang's wishes. If you can use lower-level fields to plant grains far higher than those of the best-level fields, you can show that your planting technology is advanced than others. In order to achieve the purpose of gradually promoting modern planting technology.

So, Zuo Shaoyang nodded and agreed: "Let's choose this land. Farm the land first, wait until the medicinal materials are finished, and then plant them after the spring plowing, so don't worry." "Okay." On the way back, on the way back, I saw many soldiers scattering along the ridges into the fields in all directions, and began to crush the soil and turn the ground.

Most of these soldiers are from the countryside. Naturally, they also know what to do with farm work such as turning over the ground, crushing soil, building ridges, etc. They do not have the tools to weigh their hands, so they use swords, axes, spears, sticks, copper hammers, etc. to plough the soil, and they simply divide the labor according to the situation of the weapons. Those who can turn over the soil, and those who can turn over the soil, and those who can turn over the copper hammers, crush the soil.

However, there is a lot of rain this year, and many fields are full of fields, which is not convenient to turn over and break the soil. Time is tight, and it only takes two days to complete it, including sowing. Therefore, the quality of turning over and break the soil is naturally not so good.

Teams of soldiers entered the fields to plow. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly found the military academy and asked them not to put the accumulated water inside the twenty acres near the deserted slope, nor to plow and sow. "I hope they can give the rice seeds to themselves and find someone to cultivate them. The military academy flatly refused. "After General Feng had an order, all rice seeds must be sown and were not allowed to be distributed to others, including the landlord or tenant. Zuo Yanyang secretly cursed the rigidity in his stomach, but did not dare to get angry, for fear that they would make their fields look bad. Anyway, he had met Feng Li, so he decided to go to find Feng Li himself.

After asking the soldiers, they learned that Feng Li and Xue Wanche had already moved into the prefecture government office in Hezhou in order to supervise the land to overturn and cultivate.

The group quickly returned to the yamen and came to the yamen. Zuo Shaoyang stepped forward to express his identity as "supporting military Kai*..." and asked to pay homage to General Feng Li. The general's soldiers had all evacuated, and the guards at the front of the yamen had all been replaced by Feng Li's soldiers. The thorn asked him what he wanted to do with General Feng Li. Zuo Shaoyang took out his purse from his arms, took a piece of scattered silver of two cents and handed it over, saying that he had something urgent to pay homage to General Feng. The guard then changed his smile and asked them to wait, and then went in to report.

Soon, Feng Lichuan met. The guards only let Zuo Shaoyang go in alone.

The reason why Feng Li's rebels were able to recruit the troops successfully and exchanged for the very satisfactory conditions for recruitment was entirely due to Zuo Shaoyang's discovery of the letter. Otherwise, both sides would misunderstand and continue to stalemate would be counterproductive. So Feng Li was still very grateful to Zuo Shaoyang from the bottom of his heart and spoke very politely. Zuo Shaoyang explained his purpose and asked to hand over all the rice seeds in his fields to him and sow them separately. The reason is very simple. The depth of the cultivated land is not enough, and grain will be reduced. This is no wonder the soldiers, because they use weapons instead of special farm tools to plough them. They have to find someone to plough them separately and then sow them.

When the general gave Zuo Shaoyang a gift list, Zuo Shaoyang and the others did not read it. Although Feng Li and others were present, they did not know what was on the gift list, so they did not know that there were already fifty buckets of rice seeds on it. Now they were harvesting rice seeds again, which was equivalent to giving them repeatedly. Feng Li heard that he was right and agreed immediately, and asked the messenger to follow Zuo Shaoyang to find the military academy responsible for farming, convey Feng Li's order, and hand over all the rice seeds from the twenty acres of land near the desert slope that Zuo Shaoyang said to be handed over to Zuo Shaoyang himself to sow.

When Zuo Shaoyang and the others found the responsible lieutenant, conveyed Feng Li's order, and obtained the rice seeds, which were worthless. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy. When he returned to his old house, it was already evening.

The people who went out to receive the porridge have come back one after another, and they are all mixed. When they asked, they learned that the porridge distributed by the government army was also wild vegetable porridge, and most of the wild vegetable sundials had very little rice inside, which was so thin that it could be seen. I took it with a spoon, but there were half a bowl of wild vegetables, and I couldn't see a few rice.

Even so, the hungry people are already quite satisfied. No matter what, two meals of such porridge a day can barely survive.

Since only those who went to queue up to receive the porridge were not allowed to receive the porridge on behalf of others, there were no few elderly people who were left behind. Liang immediately made porridge with Bai Zhihan for these elderly people, including the disabled Ni Er.

At this time, Manager Yu, who went out to inquire about the situation, limped back with a crutch and smiled. As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Good news! The court is selling grain!"

"Selling grain?" Zuo Shaoyang was very surprised. When he attended the meeting, the general clearly said that he would distribute grain to hungry people for disaster relief. How could it be that it would be that it would be that it would be that it would be that it would be that it would be that it would be that it would be that it would be that? He hurriedly asked, "Who said that?"

"The notice has been posted, and the food will start selling tomorrow morning! However, each person is limited to purchase one dou each time, and each dou is four jin of coins. Moreover, the disaster relief and porridge will be stopped in two days."

Four jin of coins per dou is already ten times more expensive than before the station! Obviously, this is just a preparation for rich people. With such a high price of grain, there is no fear of hoarding people. Therefore, there is no ban on food purchase and sale. However, the general cannot afford it, and the porridge will stop after two days. Then the people may have to escape from famine! At that time, they offered advice to the general and sent soldiers to help plough and sow seeds, but the people cannot stay without food, and the fields are not cultivated and irrigated, so there will be no harvest! Zuo Shaoyang was very angry and wanted to go to the governor Ouyang to question it.

He immediately stopped again. He was a commoner. Although he was a general, why was he a "model of military support" but he was not an official? What qualifications do he have to question the other person as a decent governor? If he couldn't make him angry, he would be arguing for him. He had to find another way. Zuo Shaoyang ran to the gate of Qingfeng Temple to insert a branch and made an appointment with Xiao Yunfei. After a while, Xiao Yunfei appeared in the small attic of his back garden, as if he had come out of the ground: "I saw you busy all day today, and I forgot to come and get some food. I didn't eat either. Let's eat together? How about it while eating?"

"Okay!" Zuo Shaoyang followed Xiao Yunfei to the small building on the second floor by the river behind Qingfeng Temple. Xiao Yunfei asked Huang Po to serve food, and another table of very exquisite dishes. Naturally, he prepared a basket of food for Zuo Gui and Liang.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xiao Yunfei said, "After saying that, what do you want me to do for you?" Zuo Shaoyang said everything that happened today. He lowered his voice and said, "Help me think of a solution. Is there a suitable way to make governor Ouyang change his mind, at least reduce the price of grain, four guan and one dou, which the people can't afford."

Xiao Yunfei smiled and said, "How much do you think is the average people can afford it?"

This sentence stopped Zuo Shaoyang. Before the war, most ordinary people could not afford a dou of rice, but could only rely on the grain harvested in the fields and wild vegetables to survive. Zuo Shaoyang said: "It would be great if you can do tomato grain. If you have harvest in the fields in the future, you can pay it back and you can collect some interest. Now, in addition to one dou, one dou and one liter in the future, the hungry people can stay and the court can also get income."
