After listening to Heng's story, Zhao Tuo turned around and looked at the people gathered around him.
Zhao Tuo did not blame those men holding farm tools and crying women.
They just want to dig more food from the ground so that their families can have a full meal. It is not a big mistake.
The real mastermind of this incident was Nori Nata.
"Gentleman, they just wanted to ask Heng about ways to increase farmland production, and they were a little excited. Gentleman, please don't blame me."
Ridori, with a gray beard, came over and spoke to comfort him.
Reminding Li Dian, Tian Dian hurriedly shouted: "I am responsible for the farming in Li Zhong. The farmland planted by this person has a high yield per acre. I hope to learn some farming methods from him so that everyone can have a good harvest in the coming year." What a harvest.”
"Yes, yes, we also eat for stuttering, please don't blame me, gentlemen."
Everyone around him spoke, and they looked at the long crown on Zhao Tuo's head with fear.
Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, and then said loudly: "I know that you don't have any ill intentions. You are just doing it for a good harvest in the fields and for your family to have enough to eat. Heng and I are both from Zhao, and we know some things that can help We are also willing to tell everyone about the method to increase grain production."
"The gentleman is willing to tell us the method. He is really broad-minded."
"If you can increase Tanaka's production, you will be a great favor to us, sir."
The surrounding Qin people, whether they were men or women, all applauded, and some even knelt down on the spot.
These days, the importance of food is enough to make people sell their dignity.
Even Lidian couldn't help but nod in praise when he heard this.
Everything in his family goes to the fields, so there is no shortage of food to survive. But if he can master the method of increasing production, he can earn several hundred more stones of corn a year. This is not a small benefit, and it is also the reason why he allows Tian Dian to surround his house. reason.
Among all the people, only Tian Dian complained secretly. Wasn't the reason why he did this just to get a method under his control so that he could report it for meritorious service? If Zhao Tuo popularized this method, there would be no chance for him.
"Gentleman..."
Heng was worried, but after seeing Zhao Tuo's eyes, he closed his mouth again.
Even though Zhao Tuo had been gone for a long time, in his heart, no matter what Zhao Tuo did, it was right, and he just had to obey.
Seeing the happy faces of the villagers around him, Zhao Tuo said again: "But my fellow villagers, please wait for a while. Now I have made meritorious service in the army and won some titles. In the next year, I will enter the palace as a prince and serve the king."
"I will personally report this method to your Majesty. In the future, not only will all my neighbors in the village be able to master this method and the fields will have a good harvest, but I will also benefit every county and village in the Qin State so that everyone can Get more food from the fields."
"Oh my God, this gentleman actually has the heart to benefit the whole country. Such a big heart really makes us ashamed."
"Becoming a prince in the palace? Taking a title?"
"I heard that this time the army attacked Yan, a young general captured the crown prince of Yan personally, and was personally rewarded by the king. Could it be him!"
"hiss……"
Hearing this, everyone around him took a breath, and Ridori was even more stunned. He had also heard this rumor, but he didn't expect that the boy who was admired by the king in the rumor actually lived in their Chaoyang.
….
While everyone was marveling, Zhao Tuo's face suddenly turned cold. He looked directly at Tian Dian and scolded: "There is nothing wrong with your neighbors asking for ways to increase production. As Tian Dian, this is indeed your duty." . But after being rejected, you should not incite the neighbors to gather and cause trouble, and even smash the door of my house. Such quarrels and troubles are against the law and should be severely punished!"
"Second and Third Son, can anyone go with me to invite the chief of the pavilion here?"
Hearing Zhao Tuo's words, the villagers were stunned for a moment, and then a few smart people ran out to find the chief of the pavilion in charge of nearby security.
Tian Dian's expression changed drastically. When he looked at the people around him, he found that everyone was avoiding his gaze. Even Li Dian pretended not to see him.
It is true that fanning causes trouble.
It is also true to smash the door of Gongcheng's house.
Do this
Because they have already violated the law, even those who participated in the trouble with farm tools will be punished. Now seeing that this young gentleman only punishes Tian Dian, no one else dares to speak out.
Not to mention the method of increasing production they want, Zhao Tuo has already made a promise. The dignified eighth-level public transport will not lie to them, right?
With Zhao Tuo's kindness and power, the situation in Chaoyangli was controlled in a short time.
After a while, the black-faced pavilion chief in charge came with two pavilion soldiers.
After asking about the situation, the black-faced pavilion chief tied up Tian Dian and took him to the countryside to be punished by his superiors.
At this point, the matter was settled, and Zhao Tuo breathed a sigh of relief.
You must know that people in this era attach great importance to rural feelings. Although he has a public title, he came here alone and was young. If he did not handle it properly, it would easily cause riots in the countryside.
For example, if he was indiscriminate and wanted to severely punish all those who participated in the siege, today's matter might not be so easy, and he might even end up here.
Uniting the majority and attacking the minority is the essence of the art of war.
When the matter was over, the villagers repaired the broken door of Zhao Tuo's house while saying good things, and at the same time sent some fresh fruits and vegetables to please the young big man.
It was not until evening that Zhao Tuo and Heng had time to talk alone.
Heng happily told what happened in the past year, especially when he talked about the method of increasing the yield of an acre, he even shouted: "Tuo, your method is really amazing. I didn't expect the retting excrement to be so big." The effect of this method has really increased the yield of one stone per acre of land, which is really amazing.”
That's right, before Zhao Tuo joined the army, one of the tasks he gave to Heng was to experiment with the method of fertilization.
As Zhao Tuo from a later generation, he naturally had many ways to improve agricultural productivity, such as making agricultural tools, such as curved shaft plows, which could greatly improve farming efficiency.
But after some thought, Zhao Tuo still chose retting.
Because this method is very simple, it is to pile up human and animal excrement, crop stalks, weeds and even mud in rivers and ponds, wait for it to be decomposed by microorganisms and turn into fertile humus, and then put this stuff into Fertilizing crops can greatly increase food production.
In addition to being simple and easy to operate, this method is also very concealable.
Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people had already discovered the role of manure, and used fresh manure to fertilize the fields to relieve the fatigue of the soil.
….
It’s just that people still don’t understand the beauty of retting. Fresh ones are not as good as aged ones. It will take hundreds of years before they realize the taste. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Taoist believer Chen Yang wrote down the methods of fertilization in agricultural books.
Because everyone uses excrement to fertilize, retting fertilizer on the edge of the field will not arouse others' suspicion. Not to mention that the few acres of land they were allocated were located near the mountains and forests several miles away. It was in a remote location and few people would go there on weekdays. In addition, Heng was very careful when doing things, so there were no problems.
But who would have thought that everything was fine when farming, but something went wrong during harvesting.
It was those mediocre cultivators with rich farming experience who noticed the difference in yield between the two adjacent fields, and then the news leaked out, attracting Tian Dian's prying eyes.
After talking about the matter of fertilization, Heng looked at the double-board long crown on Zhao Tuo's head in a daze.
"Gentleman, you are really amazing. In just one year, you have been promoted to the eighth level of nobility. From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were by no means an ordinary person. It's just a pity that you went to save me." Two levels of nobility, otherwise..."
When Heng said this, he began to blame himself again.
Zhao Tuo laughed and said: "Saving your life, what does a mere two-level title mean? Moreover, you have made great achievements in experimenting with the method of fertilization for me, how can it be compared with two-level titles."
Heng was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Tuo patted him on the shoulder and said: "The retting test was successful, proving that this method can indeed increase the yield of the field. In this way, I can safely dedicate it to the king. By then, both you and I will have the credit."
Zhao Tuo looked out the window with bright eyes.
Except for merit.
Just like Zhao Tuo's emotion when he saw the farmers with sad faces on the way here.
Since he has come to this era, he must bring changes to the vast majority of people in this era.
This method of retting was the first change brought about by Zhao Tuo.
As long as the King of Qin can adopt it and use the power of the Qin Empire to popularize it, and the whole world will use this method to farm in the future, it will not be a matter of killing two stones with one stone.
[To be honest, I have been using @Reading recently to catch up on updates, switch, and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Using the method of retting, if the farmland yield increases by one stone per mu, the whole world will produce tens of millions of grains per mu, hundreds of millions of grains...
Even if the government will increase taxes accordingly, the food left in the hands of the people in Guizhou will ultimately be much more than before.
Compared with the original history, with Zhao Tuo's participation, how many people will survive in this era.
The method of retting is also Zhao Tuo's method of saving the world.
