24 Teach farmers to farm

"Go and watch, don't let your dad see it. Be careful not to spill the bran bowl inside." Michelle Liu is very interested in small animals. The age of fifteen or sixteen is the age when you are full of curiosity. In fact, this is a good thing.

Under Liu Baiyu's pampering, Liu Ziqiong was no longer afraid of her parents. She made a face at Liu Shan and directly raised the flag to make a tiger skin:

"I'm here to work for you, not just for fun!"

"That's outrageous. You should be careful with your clothes. If the fine satin is stained, you can't afford to pay for it!" Liu Shan felt that his daughter was becoming less and less like a maid who lived in the same house, so he hurriedly beat her.

"Brother Bai Yu said, if it gets dirty, just give it to the servants, you don't need me to wash it!"

"Master, you can't spoil this child like this!"

Liu Shan could see that the master treated his daughter as a little sister and doted on him. As a lower-class servant, he had seen how a concubine could be lawless and neglected by the master and even be kicked out of the house because of his favor.

It's too much, not to mention that his daughter is not a concubine, but a maid who is married to another woman. How can it go on like this! Liu Shan is worried about his daughter's future. It's time for this girl to tidy up, or go to heaven directly!

Gou'erniang went to a nearby Zhuangzi to buy dozens of hens and three roosters. No matter how many there were, she would eat them with rice a few days before the lean season. Just these dozens of hens and three roosters were still a few.

Micro-landowners [rich farmers] used it to produce eggs and sell them in the city. However, when the egg shop was in recession, it bullied the farmers to lower the price. If the price was higher, the dog girl would succeed.

"Master, Mr. Xu is really picky. Even the hens he raised are so skinny. He still needs twenty kilograms of brown rice to exchange for one. If I don't bargain, I can't help it. I can't afford to waste time. But I can get it from him.

After getting two hundred and twenty hatching eggs, the old hen can hatch them now, so it’s not a loss!”

Gou Erniang timidly said that she actually did not suffer any loss. Why did Liu Baiyu care about these trivial things? He said smoothly:

"Well done! Remember the master's work from now on. The completion is the first, and the price is the second! Do you understand? Take a penny from the accounting room and say that I rewarded you, master. You will be rewarded for your ability in doing things!"

"

"Thank you, sir!" Gou'er Niang suddenly felt that her bones were a few kilograms lighter, and her brain was really working! Among the two hundred and twenty eggs, two hundred were actually added to the eggs, and the twenty eggs were picked out by Mr. Xu for Gou'er.

Mom's kickback, it stands to reason that this is

It's a custom, Gou'er Niang can keep it by herself, and it's also reasonable. However, Gou'er Niang considers that what bothers Liu Baiyu the most is that someone hides something from him, and Liu Baiyu treats him badly, so this bad rule is no longer needed, sir.

Favorability is more important.

"Thank you Master, we husband and wife will definitely serve you well!" Gou Erniang said with emotion.

This big yard for raising chickens is now in a state of chaos. Although the hens are very calm, and a few of the more maternal ones even start hatching eggs after eating the feed, the three roosters are here to keep the hens.

I directly played the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from the ground to the sky, chicken feathers flying everywhere, and the atmosphere was full of smoke.

On the other hand, Xu Laoji also came with ten ducks and a pair of big white geese. [From this point of view, Liu Baiyu felt that Gouerniang had wronged Xu Laoji, and those two big white geese of Shenjun were worth it.

It’s a lot of money, but people don’t actually dig it.】

When I was a child, I went to the countryside to play with the big white goose. I knew that this thing was half as good as a dog, so it naturally competed with its peers. Moreover, Liu Baiyu’s dog looked in good shape, but in fact it was a pampered dog.

, a playboy who has never had a fight, baring his teeth at the big white goose couple...

If you don't seek death, you won't die! The big white goose couple split up and attacked the poor dog. After a few rounds, the poor dog could only hide its head at the foot of the wall, exposing its buttocks and letting the big white goose ravage it.

.

Originally, many servants couldn't stand it and wanted to mediate, but the owner became addicted to it and could only let the poor dog continue to feel wronged...

Liu Shan really had no choice but to use his cheap father-in-law status to remind:

"Master Liu, didn't you say that you would teach us how to farm in the afternoon? It's already half an hour after lunch! Do you think so?"

Liu Shan admired Liu Baiyu very much. He was really a capable person who knew everything about all kinds of schools of thought. However, he had a different attitude towards the mischief that the master sometimes did. You said that you are a white-faced scholar who only practices farming with poor legs.

Isn’t this nonsense? It’s just that I am a master, and I can’t open my mouth about many things! Otherwise, like my own daughter, will the master forget his duty as a slave just to show some respect? This is not okay!

In fact, I am not teaching you how to farm, but how to accumulate fertilizer! If Liu Baiyu had telepathy, he would definitely be so aggrieved!

China's traditional agriculture is about precision work and high yields - which sounds good, but without widespread use of chemical fertilizers and forced fallow farming, the fertility will decline rapidly. The more China enters the late dynasty, the more population it has.

The less able it is to force fallow farming, even if the landowners become far-sighted and risk their lives.

Renting, maintaining soil fertility, and refusing to let the land be cultivated will make the scholars hate you to death, and even cause peasant riots, directly dividing the landlord's family... Until a major turmoil occurs once in three hundred years, and the land is forced to fallow. Of course, three

There are definitely more reasons for the great turmoil that occurs once in a century, but this is undoubtedly one of the reasons, but it is irrefutable.

Liu Baiyu is naturally not afraid of not having good seeds. Using the trading system of plane merchants, the seeds of high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns can be exchanged at will. But the problem is that high-yielding crops, especially modern high-yielding varieties, do not have enough fertilizer.

It is simply not as high as the land-fertilization-resistant varieties.

However, Liu Baiyu really didn't make a fool of himself. He directly found the steward of the Zhang family farm and learned about the agricultural situation in this time and space.

Zhang Tianhong's family is not actually a traditional landowner. He also has his own farm, but it is full of good irrigated land. The generally barren and fragmented land has been rented out and there is no centralized management.

value.

The land of the Zhang Family Farm is entirely farmed by the farm workers, and no tenants are hired. The land is farmed by the steward of Zhang Tianhong's farm, as well as the farm steward's two sons and one daughter, a dozen domestic boys, and three skilled farm workers.

, and hire a few more part-time workers when farming is busy.

In addition to rice, there are also sweet potatoes that were secretly introduced from overseas a few years ago. These are the two largest items. There are also various miscellaneous grains: sesame, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans, etc., and there is garden land.

The vegetables in the house cannot be sold for money, so they are mainly used by the Zhang family to eat themselves and feed the pigs. Of course

Because Liu Baiyu used the trading system of the plane merchant to purchase a large number of these pollution-free vegetables on a large scale [about ten yuan a pound] and gave it to Zhang Tianhong with modern rice as a reward. Now it is temporarily empty and can only go out.
