'Hoo~~ho~~'
The sky was clear just now, but with the sound of wind, dark clouds suddenly gathered.
The person setting up the stall looked at the fixed ropes and shed and continued making things.
"Quick, come here to eat. Thank you for not wandering around just now. Unless you go into the store, you will be exposed to the rain."
"Will the shed collapse?"
"It's a canvas shed with iron pillars. Come quickly."
"It feels like the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Is it going to be a slight heat tomorrow?"
"It's about to fall, the rain is wrong, my second aunt's house just cut the leeks. It's over!"
"Don't be afraid. It is written in the farming book given by the court that if you cut leeks on rainy days to avoid root rot, you can wait for the rain and sprinkle some plant ash."
“Yes, I told you, it’s because when the rain is heavy, dirt in the soil will splash into the cut of the leeks, unless the leeks are cut in high stubble.
Anyone who wants to cut high stubble should cut it close to the root. If it doesn't work, rinse it with clean water. This is what the book says. "
"Yes, this way the leeks can continue to grow. Once the roots are rotten, they will be useless! It will take a long time."
The people ran this way. There was a shed for eating here. Some people had already eaten elsewhere and came running after them.
Everyone was chatting with other people whether they knew each other or not.
Some people say that when cutting leeks, they are cut close to the roots. When it rains, the soil with fertilizer or something will splash onto the cut.
Just like a cut on a person's hand, leeks will also be infected, and then the short stubble will rot directly to the root, and the leek field will be ruined.
The only option is to replant, which will take a long time to grow.
If you want to cut stubble, you can usually cut it once every ten days and a half.
As for leeks, it takes at least three months to start cutting the first crop, usually three and a half to four months.
Obviously, it takes only half a month to harvest once, but the roots are rotten and it takes more than three months to replant.
The leeks here in Nanjing can be harvested continuously for three years. How much less will be harvested if it is delayed for more than three months? It's all money!
Fortunately, the agricultural book printed and publicized by the imperial court and given by Xiaqiu Village said that it could be saved in the event of non-continuous rain.
Rinse it again with clean water, or cut it again if you can still cut a little, and cut off the top.
If it can no longer be cut, wash it and spray it with plant ash water.
Don't feel tired, otherwise it will take three and a half months to plant again.
"Is it going to rain? There were no clouds just now!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the sky.
"Your Majesty, the absence of clouds just now does not mean that there is no water vapor rising up. Look at the steamer. Only when water vapor rises does it condense into water droplets and fall down.
Clouds are actually a lot of steam gathered together, and then filled with water droplets.
The steam was almost there before, but suddenly cold air blew through, and it immediately turned into clouds.
There is less rain in the desert because there is less water vapor and the cold air does not pass by and condenses into clouds and causes precipitation.
We didn't feel the increased humidity and low-flying swallows before because the wind was fast and blowing from the south.
But now the weather is hot, there are lakes in the south, there is a lot of water vapor in the sky, and it is carried by the wind.
After arriving here, the hot air here converges, and there will be thunder soon!
Because the structure of water vapor condensation is not stable enough and is not a whole, the wind continues to blow. "
The director is Zhu Yuanzhang, who always accepts Hanhan science popularization.
He was confused at first, but after listening more and understanding some terms, he gradually understood.
'Crack~~~Boom...' As soon as Li Chang finished speaking, lightning appeared and thunder rolled.
"Yi Chang! Are you tired of learning these things?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the thunder, he cared more about the head.
"It's okay. I feel like I've been delayed. I should be the one who can take the top pick.
Therefore, I have to spend money to teach more children so that they can learn, not like me.
No matter how strong your learning ability is, no one will give you a chance. I have memorized more than half of the Four Books and Five Classics. "
The director also felt that he was buried. He had never realized that he was so smart before.
"How about I hold another imperial examination next year and let you be the top pick? Everyone else will be deposed and you will be chosen."
Zhu Yuanzhang called himself Zhen, seriously.
"Your Majesty, it doesn't have to be like this. The common people just want to guard Xiaqiu Village. They don't want to be the number one scholar, nor do they want to be an official. Does the chief of the village count as an official? That's it."
The village chief refused. He could not go up. He had to take care of the village at all times. This was his responsibility.
"Then I will give you a Jinshi background. You are enough. If everyone in the world is half as capable as you, why should I worry about the Ming Dynasty not being prosperous?
Just like that, we will give you a person with the same background as Jinshi later, and your family will not have to pay land tax and will be exempted from labor service.
That’s a lot of money! The key thing is that you can get the money and food from the court every month, please thank us quickly, haha~hehehehehe..."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed as he spoke. At first it was a laugh, but in an instant it turned into a laugh, he was obviously infected and terminally ill.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Hehehehe!" The chief finally felt Hanhan's helplessness and had to pretend!
Shopkeeper Xu was listening behind him. He didn't want to laugh at all. His Majesty spoke so casually to Zhu Lichang? Looks very happy.
"Hehehehe..." Zhu Wentian counted the time and realized that he should be ready.
"Then it's settled, we all agree."
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a happy mood. He felt that no matter how much trouble he had, contact with Xiaqiu Village would make him happy.
My mother-in-law said that when a woman gives birth to a child and after giving birth to a child, she will feel a little sad. It will be better if she has more babies.
She went to accompany the Crown Princess, but the Crown Princess was not there because she had a woman from Xiaqiu Village to accompany her to eat, sleep and chat with her.
The women in Xiaqiu Village can always find happy topics to talk about and help take care of their babies at the same time.
Then everyone ran to the temple, where heavy raindrops fell, causing the water on the ground to bubble. When the wind blew, a sheet of rain and mist swept over.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. It won't take long for the rain to pass." The chief looked at the sky and reassured Zhu Yuanzhang.
"We don't care about that. If it rains now, will it affect the crops in the fields?" Zhu Yuanzhang was more concerned about people farming.
“It doesn’t matter, some places even hope for more rain.
As for the paddy fields in Xiaqiu Village, they hope that the rice seedlings will be knocked down.
In this way, the seedlings with the best resistance to lodging can be selected. Unfortunately, they have been interplanted with jute.
The most important thing about jute is this. It helps the rice resist lodging during the rainy season and kills other weeds at the same time.
The reason why you need to wait for rice to tiller before transplanting jute is to avoid jute competing with rice for nutrients. "
At this time, the farmer did not forget to popularize the knowledge that rice must be planted first, and then jute can be transplanted after the roots have taken root firmly and tillered.
Jute cannot compete with rice at this time, but it can compete with other weeds.
When it is time to harvest, harvest the rice first and then topdress the jute to harvest the jute.
In fact, it is okay not to topdress. The process of topdressing is to nourish the land, because other crops have to be planted.
To put it bluntly, rice itself is not weak. If you don't pursue yield, if you plant rice that has been bred for thousands of years with weeds, you will find that rice still crushes other grasses.
Rice is cultivated from weeds from generation to generation. There is no way it can defeat weeds. It is just that its requirements are too high and how many seeds it has to produce.
Otherwise, take a look, choose a piece of land, throw other weeds and rice or wheat together and plant them, who has the highest survival rate? Who has the most seeds?
