Xiangping Juntun
The three brothers of the Qin family went to the fields on the second day after returning from the war. Prisoners did not take a break.
After Qu Yuanli appeared, Lu Songli took out the iron rake again.
After the long iron rake appeared, it was pulled by oxen, which was very convenient for breaking up soil, raking soil and raking grass.
After the two farm tool samples were obtained, Mo Lianfeng submitted them to the top.
This matter is related to the autumn harvest of Liaodong County, and the people above attach great importance to it.
Subsequently, Liaodong County officials summoned all the blacksmith shops to work overtime to make these two farm tools, and then distributed them. Quyuan pears and iron rakes became popular throughout Liaodong County.
It's just a bit expensive.
The cattle in the entire Liaodong County have suffered. They have been plowing for many years and are not as tired as this year!
On this day, the Qin family was assigned a sowing job by Mo Lianfeng.
The three brothers of the Qin family all made meritorious deeds in supporting Liaoyang this time, but because of their status as exiles, all the credit was attributed to him.
Mo Lianfeng: It was very sudden.
Now he looks very pleased with everyone in the Qin family. This family is very popular with him.
Therefore, this spring plowing, Mo Lianfeng arranged the easiest and easiest task for them, sowing seeds.
Ordinary people can't get such a good job, let alone they are prisoners. Convicts usually do the dirtiest and most tiring jobs.
But who made them too lovable? He just arranged it like this, what's wrong?
If you have any opinions, tell him!
No matter what I told him, he didn’t listen!
Mo Lianfeng made a tour and pointed out a few workers. Finally, he looked at the diligent Qin family, nodded secretly, and then went to the supervisor's resting place with his whip.
Lu Songli was given a bag of rice seeds, and then she realized that farming at this time was all about direct sowing, not the method of growing seedlings first and then transplanting them.
They all sow seeds directly, and then reseed the ones that don't germinate.
Usually when replanting is done, the farming season has already been somewhat delayed, so the harvest of replanted rice is usually not very good.
In contrast, the rice seedling transplanting method has many advantages.
First, it can extend the number of fertile days, and second, it can reduce the amount of seeds used.
The second is to extend the growth period, increase the lighting time and increase the yield.
In addition, reasonable and dense planting can maximize the use of photosynthesis, and under the same conditions, higher yields can be obtained.
This method is particularly suitable for the South, where rice is harvested twice a year, and in Hainan, where rice is harvested three times a year. Because the seedlings are transplanted after raising, the reproductive period can be shortened, and the seedlings can mature one month earlier after raising, which makes it easier to clear the land for planting crops in the second half of the year.
Lu Songli decided to talk to Mo Lianfeng about a new rice planting method called rice transplantation.
Her idea is very simple, which is to transfer knowledge so that ordinary people can increase the yield of their fields.
From the information she learned, one acre of land now yields only two to three hundred kilograms of rice.
You must know that this is the black soil of Northeast China. This output is a bit unworthy of its reputation as a granary for future generations.
After Lu Songli told Mo Lianfeng about the rice transplanting method, he said, "Why don't you try it, Mr. Mo?"
After the appearance of Quyuanli and the big iron rake, in Mo Lianfeng's eyes, Lu Songli was proficient in farming, and he valued her suggestions.
But she said that this matter had too much to do with it. It was not a matter of one acre of land or two acres of land. If not done well, this autumn's harvest would be ruined.
"Master Mo only needs to take out two or three acres of land to try. This shouldn't be difficult." Lu Songli is not the kind of impatient person.
Mo Lianfeng immediately made the decision, "As you said, let's take out three acres of land and give it a try. You will be the one to guide us in raising seedlings in the afternoon."
"good."
At noon, the gongs and drums sounded, and it was time to call it a day.
The prisoners came to the edge of the canal in twos and threes to wash their hands and feet.
"So tired!" Qin Zhao muttered while stretching.
The other person next to him gave him a hateful look and left. I don’t know where the Qin family comes from. They are very fond of the boss Mo Lianfeng and cannot afford to offend them.
Gu Zhang next to him was speechless. This sowing is already the easiest job. You don't even have to bend your back. Don't you get hate for saying this?
Qin Zhao felt that he was extremely innocent. He was telling the truth. He was hurting and sowing seeds, which was quite tiring.
"Lao San, go back."
The Qin family had also finished washing, and Qin Heng greeted him.
As soon as Qin Zhao returned, he slumped down on a chair nearby, groaning and instructing Qin Yu to beat his legs.
I cried to my son about the hard work of farming, and took the opportunity to teach him that he should study hard with Aunt Six, as farming would have no future.
After beating his legs, he was also asked to beat his waist.
Qin Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, "Third brother, are you feeling weak?"
Qin Zhao was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Nonsense, I am not weak, you are weak, your whole family is weak!"
Qin Sheng was speechless, "Aren't you included in my family? You included yourself in it."
Qin Zhao was speechless.
At this moment, Lu Songli spoke, "Third brother, this day won't last long, cherish it."
What? No, there is something in these words. Qin Zhao reacted quickly, "Sixth brother and sister, what have you done since we have been away these past few days?"
As he spoke, a crazy guess arose in his mind. Could it be that they were leaving the Xiangping military camp? But is it possible?
Generally speaking, when prisoners arrive at the penal colony, they basically stay there until they die of old age. For example, their current household registration is in Xiangping Juntun, and there will basically be no major changes. Unless one day they regain their status.
Their status as prisoners is not easy to get rid of. Unless you get a pardon from the emperor, how easy is it? Unless they have made great contributions.
Lu Songli smiled, a master always looks beyond the dilemma.
"Let's see, the results should be available in the next two days."
Qin Zhao only felt that her smile was a bit mysterious.
"Second brother, what have the sixth and younger siblings been doing these past few days?" Qin Zhao asked Qin Yan directly. They were not here. The sixth and younger siblings have always been very measured in doing things. She should discuss important matters with her second brother.
what's the situation? Qin Heng and Qin Sheng both looked over, and even Shen Erniang, Cai Shi, Su Shi and others stopped what they were doing.
Qin Yan: He really knows this.
"You'll find out in two days." The sixth brother and sister discussed what they wanted to do. Their aunt was also present at the time. The main reason was that one of them was a second uncle and the other was a sister-in-law, so they needed to avoid suspicion.
The sixth brother and sister told him her plan, even though the sixth brother and sister said at the time that they would give it a try, it might not work. He also said that this move was a precautionary move, and its success or failure depended on whether the three brothers of the Qin family could make contributions in the battle of Liaoyang.
This was the first time he had seen the strategies of his sixth brother and sister. He felt that they were very forward-looking and had a good attitude.
She said at the time that if this plan worked, they would be able to leave the Xiangping military camp soon.
If that doesn't work, think of something else.
But she firmly believes that her eldest brother and third brother Asheng will stand out in this battle.
When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile. She was quite confident in their brothers.
Qin Yan didn't say anything, but Qin Zhao kept pestering him.
Qin Sheng, on the other hand, looked at Lu Songli eagerly.
Lu Songli understood what he meant, nodded slightly to him, and told him after returning to the house.
Qin Sheng was happy, so he stopped pestering Lu Songli and ran to fetch water. There is not much water in the water tank. The Qin family has a large population and they have to carry a lot of water every day.
Lu Songli smiled after seeing it.
She had not been idle during this period. She had already seen clearly that the opportunity for the Qin family lay in the conflict between the governor He Xun and the county captain Le Guicai.
When the Xianbei army raided Liaoyang, she realized that an opportunity might arise.
Regardless of whether it is or not, she will definitely try to catch it. Just that sentence, whether there are dates or not, she will be beaten.
When they were chatting last night, they also talked about Le Guicai. Qin Sheng told her that Le Guicai seemed to admire their brother.
At that time, she said in her heart that she was stable.
It's a pity that Wu Ren returned to Chang'an with the large army, but Liu Erxi's ability to do things is not bad. With him and Mo Bing, he should be able to get things done. Because the key to the matter is throwing money, their ability to do things determines the comfort level of the person who is being thrown.
