Datang romantic little landlord

A few days after returning to Chang'an this time, Qiu Yuanliang had already hired a carpenter to build a small waterwheel for use. After confirming that the effect was very good, he hurriedly asked his son to give Li Wangyou a gift as a token of gratitude.

After the fat man stayed in the Li family with a shy face, the originally thin Li family immediately became lively.

Naturally, Su Changqing would not embarrass the maidservants sent by the four enemies, she was just having a fit of petty thoughts.After taking them to the backyard and knocking, they each arranged their responsibilities.

Although the little girl Peilan is already free and her husband alone, she is still very stubborn to take care of Li Wangyou personally, and Su Changqing can only reluctantly agree to this.

When the four maidservants presented by the enemy's family arrived at Li's house, there was no need to think about warming the bed. Cutting the grass and feeding the horses, cleaning, washing and cooking... was the daily work.

A family of four turned into a family of ten plus a resident fat man, and the originally small two-entry house felt a little crowded.

Li Wangyou was wondering if he should hurry up to make money to expand the house, why there are so many people in this house all of a sudden?

However, he didn't have time to think about it these few days. The saline-alkali land transformation has reached the final stage. He has been busy directing the men in the village to work in the field these days, which can be regarded as very diligent.

It was difficult for Li Wangyou to choose what to plant after the saline-alkali land was improved.

095 as many as you want

Li Wangyou was debating whether to grow rice or sorghum on the improved saline-alkali land.

Datang sorghum is widely planted. It is resistant to drought, waterlogging, salinity, and barrenness. It is very suitable for cultivation on improved saline-alkali land.

Li Wangyou planted sorghum not to make food, but to make wine.Sorghum stalks can also be fed to livestock, which is a suitable crop for his family's [-] mu of land.

But planting rice seems to be very suitable. Weak alkaline rice is still very expensive to sell in later generations, and Li Wangyou plans to use the three-dimensional paddy farming technology of later generations to grow it.

Li Wangyou remembered that there was a large farmer in their village who raised catfish in the rice fields.As a result, each catfish raised in the rice fields weighs 2 to 3 catties, and the harvested catfish per mu is more than 700 catties, and the rice yield per mu is [-] catties.

You must know that one thousand catties is equal to ten shi of grain, and the grain yield of Datang is only less than two shi per mu. This gap is really too big.

Li Wangyou is very aware of the benefits of the three-dimensional farming of the rice fields. The fish eat the pests and weeds in the rice fields, and can loosen the soil in the rice fields.Fish excrement can fertilize the soil of rice fields, creating a good growing environment for rice.

But sorghum can be used to make wine, which is a huge profit, and Li Wangyou is reluctant to part with it.

What's even more painful is that no matter what you plant, you can't escape the coming locust plague.

Regardless of whether it is sorghum or rice, the spring sowing is in March of the lunar calendar, which happens to be the time when the locust plague broke out in Guanzhong.

At this time, sorghum seedlings and rice seedlings are planted. Isn't that giving rations to locusts?

In a few days, he could eat up all the crops in his [-] mu of land.

But if they don't plant it, and they can't prove to Yang Zuan that the saline-alkali land has been improved, this makes Li Wangyou even more in a dilemma.

The beautiful boss didn't grow up in the countryside, let alone lived in the countryside, so she doesn't have any advice on this matter.

On this day, Li Wangyou squatted on the bank of the river and watched the fields working without any image.

This saline-alkali land has been washed and soaked three times, and it is undergoing soil transplantation, that is, transporting good soil from other places to spread on the original saline-alkali soil.

The Li family's [-] oxen were all harnessed to the vehicles at this time, and they were pulling the guest soil from afar and dumping it on the land.

Then fertilize the land to increase the fertility of the land, and the [-]-acre land can be officially cultivated.

Li Wangyou, who grew up in the countryside, was born with an extraordinary love for the land.There are [-] acres of land that belong to him, so he has been able to walk around the fields every day recently.

The more he looked at this land, the more Li Wangyou liked it.

In the end, he simply patted his thigh and decided to plant rice.

As a small landlord with aspirations, Li Wangyou wants to let the people of Tang Dynasty see what is called three-dimensional farming.

By the way, not only fish can be raised in rice fields, but ducks can also be raised.

Duck?

Duck!

Li Wangyou was startled suddenly, feeling as if he had forgotten something.He began to think carefully, but what has something to do with ducks?

locusts... ducks...

A vague memory of the previous life in his mind was recalled by him!

He remembered reading a report that an entomological research institute in Guangdong had conducted an experiment in which a large number of ducks were introduced into farmland to prey on locusts.

As a result, 2000 ducks devoured the locusts on thousands of acres of land...

Thinking of this, Li Wangyou couldn't help but slapped himself on the head, why didn't this pig brain remember this earlier?

Yes, ducks!Ducks can fight locusts, at least the crops in Dingzhou Village can be preserved!

Haha, what about the locust plague?See if there are more locusts or Lao Tzu's ducks.

Thinking of this, Li Wangyou jumped on his horse and rushed towards the county seat.

If you want to buy a large number of ducks, you must find those vendors who sell chickens and ducks in the county.If there are not enough in the county, Li Wangyou is going to go to Chang'an City to buy ducks.

The market in Tianhu County was very lively that day. After the news that Li Wangyou bought a large number of ducks, all the chicken and duck vendors in the county market gathered around.

After calculating the copper coins and gold at home, there are about 150 guan, leaving [-] guan as the family's working capital, and Li Wangyou plans to buy all the other money into ducks.

Li Wangyou bargained and negotiated a price with several chicken and duck vendors in the county town.

An adult duck costs [-] Wen, and a duckling costs [-] Wen.

Calculated, Li Wangyou can buy thousands of ducks, so many ducks should be enough to defend the fields of Dingzhou Village.

Due to the huge quantity, these chicken and duck traders also need time to raise ducks.So Li Wangyou made an appointment with them. After ten days, the vendors will send the ducks to Dingzhou Village, and they will pay for the ducks and deliver the goods.

He came out in such a hurry that he forgot to bring copper coins with him. Li Wangyou felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't set the money for these vendors.

Just as he was about to ask them to go back to Dingzhou Village with him to get the money, someone recognized him as Xiaolang from the Li family in Dingzhou Village.

What Li Wangyou didn't expect was that after someone recognized him, these vendors said that they didn't need to pay, and they would definitely deliver the ducks in ten days.

"Haha, Xiaolang from the Li family in Dingzhou Village, can we still not believe it?"

"That's right, the young man of the Li family is Wenqu Xing, how can he lie to us? No need to pay, no need to pay, the duck will definitely be delivered in ten days."

"Xiao Lang, last time your village had a feast of slaughtering pigs, this time you bought so many ducks, isn't it for the banquet of slaughtering ducks?"

"Hey, you foodie, there are only more than 100 households in Dingzhou Village, where you need to eat so many ducks, it must be that Xiaolang has other uses. You don't even look at who Li's Xiaolang is, he is the one who built the waterwheel ah."

"That's right, that's right, I went to Dingzhou Village to see the water truck, tsk tsk, it's amazing, it lifts water automatically without manpower."

"I heard that Yang Ming's mansion has started to recruit craftsmen to promote this waterwheel in every village in the county. Xiaolang from the Li family has done us a great deed, and the village official of our village even said that he would offer incense to you, Xiaolang. Woolen cloth."
