Reborn 1960 join hands in farming

The matter of learning horses was settled just like that, but when the tools were in place, everyone went to cultivate the fields again.Sang Yuan had inquired about the production of local crops a long time ago, and in his previous life, he knew that Xinjiang was the main cotton-producing area, so cotton planting was listed first.

Although this thing cannot be eaten, it is needed to make clothes!

Clothes, food, housing and transportation are at the top of the list!

As for food, it is mainly wheat.Others, like potatoes and sweet potatoes, are easy to grow, but rice has to find another place.Fortunately, people in the west mostly eat tsampa, noodle cakes and other vegetarian food. Sang Yuan has enough time to study the crops suitable for growing here.

When Sang Yuan started to get busy, Mo Xiaobao was left alone.Get up at the same time as the adults get up every day, and then spend the whole day on the grass by the river.

The grazing boy did not settle in the tribe of the patriarch Sang Yuan was looking for, but a nomad from another tribe.Therefore, the allowed grazing range is only in that grassland, and cannot continue to the tribe.

Mo Xiaobao panicked, whenever he saw the boy, he would run over to play with him.I also know the boy's name, Gugli Shaman.

Mo Xiaobao couldn't pronounce his name easily, so the boy asked him to just call him Shaman.However, Mo Xiaobao is such a fine person, how could he call him by his first name?Immediately, he took a mouthful of brother shaman, so that the young man took good care of him.

By the time Sang Yuan finished his work on land reclamation and remembered Mo Xiaobao, he was already very familiar with the young shaman.Let Xi Shao silently recite the Three Character Classic and recite it to Mo Xiaobao. Every day he has to practice calligraphy and martial arts to lay the foundation, and Mo Xiaobao fell into the abyss in an instant.

The shaman watched him squatting while gritting his teeth while reciting the Three Character Classic, and curiously asked him what it was useful for.Mo Xiaobao only said it was useful, but he couldn't explain what it was, which made the shaman laugh for a long time.

However, the shaman learned the three-character scriptures, and he memorized them half-bakedly. Occasionally, if he made a wrong pronunciation or got out of tune, he would be laughed at by Mo Xiaobao.Going back and forth again relieved Mo Xiaobao's pressure.

"Gugli! Gugli!"

The two were having fun, but a roar came over, obviously anxious.

"Okay!" Hearing the cry, the shaman left Mo Xiaobao, turned over and got on the pony, heading towards the direction of the sound.

Mo Xiaobao didn't know what happened, he watched him run away on horseback from a distance, and was stunned.After a while, the herd of cattle and sheep disappeared into the distance.

When Sang Yuan and the others returned to their residence, they heard a messy noise outside.Someone asked about it, and it was only said that some livestock had ruined the wheat field.

This is the time when wheat is growing, and cattle and sheep are also very fond of eating it. If one is not watched, it will destroy a lot.Then, just making noise is unlikely!

Sure enough, after a while, I heard someone yelling about compensation, but most of the words were in the local dialect, so everyone could only watch the excitement without knowing the specific situation at all.

After the crowd dispersed, Sang Yuan saw the chief of the tribe and the man who could speak Chinese approaching.

"Mr. Sang Yuan, let you see a joke, but we would like to ask, is there any way to prevent livestock from ruining the field?"

This kind of thing also exists in the interior, but there are few grazing animals in the interior, and they are all raised artificially, so it is rare for livestock to waste the fields.

When Sang Yuan was in Baihua Village, he didn't see anyone herding cattle and sheep, so this question stumped him.

What's more, the area of ​​the field is large, and it is impossible to protect it.

Seeing that he was silent, the hearts of the patriarch and the people sank.The fields by the river are their main source of food, and they are ruined several times every year, and there is no way to solve it, which is a headache.

"Patriarch, I don't have a good solution for this matter, sorry." Sang Yuan has his own set of planting methods and cultivation methods, but he doesn't dabble in protection.

What's more, the purpose of his coming here is to plant trees and see if it can reduce the reduction of Populus euphratica forest and restore the glory of ancient times.

Although Populus euphratica can be used as a windbreak for the field, it cannot prevent cattle and sheep from entering.If you want to stop cattle and sheep, the gap between the trees must be filled with something.

Sang Yuan has just started sowing seeds at this time, and he still needs to teach the people given by the patriarch how to cultivate, so he can't find a solution for a while.

"Then we won't bother you." After failing to get effective advice, the patriarch shook his head with a sigh, and the clansman who could speak Chinese could only leave.

"Fortunately, the land we chose is far away from the river, so we are not afraid of livestock running over." As soon as the patriarch left, Mo Wen and the others became emotional.

Only those who cultivate the land can understand the sadness after the fields are ruined.

"Come on, this kind of thing is unavoidable. After all, you can't use fences to surround the fields. Moreover, even if it is a fence, it may not be able to stop it." Sang Yuan took it very openly, and he didn't mind this matter. set aside.

If he can think of a solution, he won't hide it.But unexpectedly, he would not bother.Sometimes, there may be unexpected surprises if you look open.

Let everyone do their own thing, he and Xi Shao went to the kitchen to cook for everyone.

Originally, everyone took turns to cook, but the level of cooking was terrible, so Sang Yuan, Xi Shao and a few others who could cook took over.

When we arrived in the kitchen, a big soldier was sorting out a pile of twig-shaped firewood. When he saw Sang Yuan coming in, he quickly reminded him: "Brother Sang, this willow branch has thorns. When you use it later, be careful not to get pricked." hurt."

"This is the willow branch?" Sang Yuan always thought that the willow tree was similar to the willow tree, but the branch has sharp thorns, and it is not as slender as the willow branch.

"This sand willow branch is the best firewood that the local people say, so we followed them to cut some back. I heard the name and thought it was similar to a willow tree, but it turned out to be this kind of branch with sharp thorns. Long, taller than a human!"

The big brother Bing has been following Zhanfeng since he first arrived in Baihua Village, and he is very close to Sang Yuan, so he naturally told him what he saw at this time.That appearance was full of surprise.

Sang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard that it was growing one by one.I didn't know what to do just now, isn't it here?

"Brother, next time you are going to chop firewood, can you take me to see this willow?"

"Okay! I'll call you when I go tomorrow!" The soldier knew that he would never be purely curious, so he naturally agreed.He packed up the firewood with a smile and helped them light the fire.

The next day, Mo Xiaobao didn't see the shaman by the river, and Sang Yuan and Xi Shao followed the soldier to chop willow branches.

Seeing the dense willows growing vigorously one by one, Brother Bing also specially explained to them which branches are new and which branches can be cut.

"These salix are willing to live very well. The local people say that as long as a branch is buried in the sand, it will grow into a large canopy in the next year, and the fire will be prosperous!"

Sang Yuan saw the intertwined branches, picked up a wooden stick and tried to poke it in, obviously feeling a resistance.Wrap another piece of strong cloth around your hand, and stretch it inside.I wanted to try to pass through, but was pulled out by Xi Shao.

"You have to try and prepare something to protect yourself before you try again!"

The sharp thorns on those branches can be seen by the naked eye, but his head has no protection, and it is not worthwhile to scratch his face.

Even if a man has a little scar, it's no big deal, but the avoidable injury is still gone!What's more, what about those thorns that pierce the eyes?

Sang Yuan would never argue with him on such matters, and there was a joker beside him.Resignedly, he motioned to the soldier brother to chop firewood, and then secretly pinched Xi Shao.

Xi Shao smiled without hesitation, snatched the cloth from his hands, wrapped it around his hands, and went to help the soldier cut firewood.

In the end, when they went back, Sang Yuan didn't try it himself. Instead, Zhan Feng went to play. He screamed when he was stabbed, but he proved that he could stop the cattle and sheep.

So, Sang Yuan went to the patriarch again and asked someone to start planting salix between the grassland and the field.Anyway, if there are too many, they can be chopped and used as firewood, and it will not cause any trouble.

The local people know how to grow salix, so there is no need for Sang Yuan to pay too much attention to it. However, before the salix grows, those fields still need to be watched to avoid being ruined again.

By the way, Sang Yuan asked the patriarch for the contract right of Populus euphratica forest.The patriarch didn't care what he wanted those trees to do, he just said that when they needed it, he had to let them cut down the trees, so there was no condition.

Sang Yuan knew their wooden bowl craftsmanship and thought there was no problem, so he agreed.

Cut it down and plant it again!nothing!

However, no one expected that after the Salix fence grew up, it would block the field like a long green dragon.Except for frightened animals that forced their way in, there was no other incident of desecration of the fields.

For a while, the local tribesmen were very grateful to Sang Yuan and the others.

Sang Yuan himself didn't expect that salix can really be used as a fence, but since he saw the effect, he was going to continue to use it.After all, those willows grow well on the sand outside the Populus euphratica forest.If the cultivated land can be expanded, or the Populus euphratica forest can be expanded, then their goal has been achieved!

Half a year later, the salix fencing beside the field is growing vigorously, and the fields reclaimed by Sang Yuan and his team are beginning to reap the harvest.Even the salix and small Populus euphratica planted on the sand outside the Populus euphratica forest have mostly survived.

Looking at the thriving development prospects, Sang Yuan felt that he had finally achieved something!

The local tribesmen also began to cultivate efficiently, and even the original wheat fields were reorganized to make the already vast wheat fields look more orderly.

When the crops of the first season matured, the dominant crops suitable for growing here were also selected, and then the next batch of crops was sown.

Sang Yuan is very strict about this, because he wants to cultivate a batch of high-yielding crops suitable for the local area!
