Chapter 30 Taking a break in the busy farming season

Fortunately, the tenants in the Yuanjiazhuang are still people of our Tang Dynasty, so the management is simple. Besides, if there is a foreign spy or something, it will be really troublesome.

The territory suddenly became wider, which was not bad. Just as Uncle Li said, Fang Chang's horse racing alone took most of the time to go there, and it was not brought back. Moreover, it was paddy fields. This is very important. Although Lingnan Road is located in the south, Gaozhou is a mountainous area. If there is a real drought, it will be difficult.

"Mr. Lang, can our family be considered a big business?!" Yu'er carefully packed the land deed and asked me with a look of satisfaction.

If you have a big family and a big business, you really have no idea. It’s mainly because of your vision. After all, you have been in this small valley for many years and have limited concepts about your family business, so you really can’t answer your wife’s question.

I did have a bit of excessive drinking the other day. I have been soft all over these days and can’t do anything. I lay on the bed with my head resting on Yu'er’s thighs. I have to have this kind of atmosphere when I use my brain.

"Maybe it's also true. Maybe we can be the number one figure in this Gaozhou realm. Yu'er. Thinking about the century-old families in the capital, we still have to work hard!"

"Come on?" Yu'er moved her seat and let me lay on her calves, and began to take care of the basket of needlework in her hands.

"That is, I mean it's hard to be busy at the beginning of the year. I'm so lucky to be in my wife's life. I feel really sorry for my husband."

I admit that I want to be lazy. Just looking at this vast world, my heart trembled. This is no more mechanized agricultural production than later generations. Now it depends entirely on manpower. I took the time to look at the farm tools on the farm. To be honest, it is a kind of praise to describe it as simple and vivid primitive.

The plow rake has appeared, but it is still manpower. This is easy to deal with. The scalpers at home can still come in handy. At that time, Master Zhou and Carpenter Zhao will work together to see how to improve production efficiency. Now Master Zhou is fascinated by this invention and creation. The monthly consumption of carbohydrate alone increases exponentially. What is this? The family is mined and open to use it.

"I'm so lucky. My family's situation is getting better and better every day. It's all the contribution of my husband and the protection of my ancestors. I dare not take credit for it."

Yu'er's legs were numb, and she kicked her feet away. She sat alone at the table to work on needlework. Not to mention, if you think about it carefully, Yu'er's needlework was really good. No matter what clothes I was wearing or the shoes and boots under her feet, they were all made by Yu'er. I felt distressed, so I quickly asked the servants to get two more oil lamps.

As soon as he got up early in the morning, Uncle Li came over with two people. Now Uncle Li is becoming more and more capable and has more helpers. It is not a solution for these more than 200 people to call and drink alone. Sangouzi still can't count on it now, and running errands are okay. If you really want to take charge of the matter, you have to experience it under Uncle Li.

The letter from the capital was sent by the Cheng family, and it was urgent. It was delivered to me as soon as possible.

The letter said that Li Jing's army divided into six groups and officially went to the throne. Mr. Cheng was in charge of the capital. Of course, he was very dissatisfied. He wrote a letter to the court for thirty times. Of course, the letter was very satisfied with the various daily necessities he sent the last time, but he still felt that the portion was smaller, especially the high wine. This time the old man wrote down a specific quantity, one hundred jars, which could only be more or less, and this was the old man's own home, and other dukes had to calculate it separately.

To be honest, the old man’s request is not too much. People have fought for life, and they only have this hobby when they are old. As juniors, we must meet the needs of the old man. Besides, the Ning family can survive under the protection of these old man. This alone is enough for the old man to enjoy our good wine for life.

Finally, I remind me that the matters of the Yuan family are relatively complicated, related to the changes in the senior management of Zhenla Kingdom, and also related to the current war. After all, there is a stable rear that every military strategist should pay attention to the problem. Zhenla has recently been very close to Tubo, and in short, it is more sensitive. The implicit meaning that I hope that I will have more things than less. Moreover, the Yuan family is a barbarian, and not my race, their hearts must be different. If the emperor does not pursue the crime of deceiving the king, it will give Yuan Huai a very good face. Moreover, the senior management of Zhenla Kingdom has rehabilitated the Yuan family.

After collecting this letter, Uncle Li asked his good son to greet the two senders, and then went into the house to convey the general meaning of the letter to Yu'er, so he followed Yu'er to the busy farming scene. Now my family leader can't take any hesitation. He has to go to the scene every day to encourage the merchants. Anyway, we don't need to play in person as cheerleaders.

The weather in early spring was still very wet and cold, but farmers had already started to go down to the paddy fields. There was no special field planting seedlings. They just scattered rice seeds into the paddy fields in a simple and rough manner. No, since I came, I would definitely take on the responsibility of the head of the family. Sprout transplanting is a relatively scientific planting method. After all, it is still used in later generations, so I ordered that all the farmers stop and not be busy planting for the time being.

The seedlings are specially divided into dozens of acres for planting. I especially told Sangouzi to pay attention to fertilizers, water, etc. When the seedlings grow to about one foot, they can be uprooted and set aside.

Seeing that everyone was hesitating, after all, it was a major event in growing grain, and the farmers did not dare to abandon their experiences for dozens or hundreds of years, so they whispered in my ear:

"It's not OK to miss the farming season. Langjun tried it on Lao Zhuangzi. The new Zhuangzi still followed the previous method. What do you think?"

There is no way. After all, I have only seen it and I am not very proficient in the specific operation. Yu'er's opinion is good. First, I can try it here, and second, even if it fails, it will not hurt the vitality. After all, Xinzhuangzi has a good terrain, and the yield per mu will definitely exceed that of Laozhuangzi.

I told Sangouzi to prepare Lao Zhuangzi and plant seedlings first according to my method, and then transplant them. I want to see if it is the advanced technology in later generations or the applicable technology today.

"Sir, look, the little one catches the kite!" Dayong didn't know when he left me, but now he came back with an unknown pair of birds, trotting while teasing the pair.

As a result, after a closer look, what's the big deal, what's the big deal?

"Wild pigeon, please see clearly, kite, there is a kite from this heaven, and this kite is something you Darong can catch?"

"Oh?" Dayong didn't believe it, and looked carefully. After looking carefully, he felt that it was not the case. "Sir, what kind of bird is it? Look, the Sir is broad, and the Sir who we can't understand will definitely understand it."

Dayong's flattery level has always been at the stage of elementary school students. Honest people, now, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or later generations, they are rare animals and are on the verge of extinction.

"Dove, this is a pair of pigeons." I looked carefully. Whether it was the sound of the call or the typical nose bubble on the upper edge of the bird's beak, it was clearly a pair of pigeons.

"Can you eat it?" Dayong looked carefully and thought that the pigeon was petite and must be very tender in flesh.

I had no common language, so I drove Dayong away and carefully packed the pair of babies in a cage. It was a good thing. It was a baby. I raised a few when I was a child, but I didn’t succeed. I gave them one after another. At that time, while I was so hot, I carefully considered the history of raising pigeons. I knew that my country had a history of raising pigeons after the Tang Dynasty. Since I caught wild pigeons, I saw if there was a way to domesticate them. The pigeons, what I was thinking about was a carrier pigeon.

Since Dayong can catch a pair with bare hands, there must be more than one pair here. He ordered Dayong to temporarily put down the farm work in his hands, find a few people, and specifically catch pigeons. Of course, it is best to be paired up. Don't let go of young pigeons and pigeon eggs, and get them all back.
