One month after Lan Yuan was born, the season for spring plowing and sowing is approaching.

As the first season after the migration, it is very important to have a good start. Lantian allows a small number of people to continue growing millet and wheat, while most people need to learn to grow rice.

At that time, there were rice in the north, but the yield of dry fields was not as good as millet, so it was planted very little. Even so, the Blue Field brought people the rice seeds from the north.

The people are fanatical about Lantian, but most people are not familiar with rice planting, so they are waiting for the Diannong Commander to teach him step by step.

Lantian was preparing to follow the process of planting rice, first teach the fifty students, and then spread them out in batches through these people.

With few plowing cattle, some of the newly moved people have not yet finished the soil, which is just a time difference.

The first is to select seeds and breed seedlings. The migrant farmers are still familiar with seed selection. They are nothing more than seeds with full grains and good quality, but the treatment of seeds is a science.

The selected rice seeds must be dried in the sun for a few days. Due to the scarcity of salt and the lack of disinfectant solution, Lantian can only simply clean the seeds.

The fields used for seedling cultivation are sown in advance by wood ash, green manure and other substances. After the seeds are processed, they can germinate and sow.

During the seedling cultivation period, the fifty students continued to spread the knowledge they learned, while Lan Tian took a break and went home to hold his son.

The local people in Linwu also planted rice. Seeing these newcomers so time-consuming and labor-intensive, everyone found it very strange. They thought that the people from the north could not grow them as well as us?

At that time, there was no plastic film, and the seedlings were prone to cold during cultivation. Lantian asked people to cover the wind with thin cloth at night, and then remove the blocking during the day to absorb the sun.

In ancient times, when resources were scarce, everything needed to be done through manpower, but fortunately there was no time to spend on entertainment activities.

The biggest entertainment for ordinary people now is to grow crops, and the most basic need is to have enough food, so even if it is a bit hard, everyone is full of energy.

When the seedlings grow to three or five inches, they have to plant rice in different plants. This is the most difficult time to plant rice. Because you need to bend your waist all day long, you really face the loess and the back is facing the sky.

It is relatively easier to dry fields in the north. Now each seedling must be transplanted into the paddy fields in proportion gaps.

Practicing rice transplanting skills can make perfect, and it will get better and better through continuous accumulation of experience. During this period, Lantian asked them to have extra meals at noon because it was really exhausting.

When transplanting rice seedlings, you must control the water depth in the field, as long as the land is not exposed. In addition, the newly reclaimed land is relatively hard, so deep transplanting of rice seedlings can make the seedlings firm.

If the soil becomes soft after a few years, the depth of transplanting should be shallowered as appropriate, otherwise the seedlings will easily float after the weight of the seedlings sinks.

After the transplanting of rice seedlings, every man in every household lies for a few days. After this season of planting, they have another survival skill.

Rice likes high temperatures, humidity, and short sunshine, and does not require strict soil requirements. Because the newly reclaimed rice fields are close to the Qin River, it is very convenient to diversion and irrigate. The key in the later stage is weed removal and deworming, which are all familiar to farmers.

After a hundred days of Lanyuanman, the climate in Linwu has become extremely warm, and the newly planted rice has reached the heading stage. At this time, moderate top dressing should be used to increase yield.

In addition to the wood ash, the farmers carried the manure of humans and animals to irrigate them.

When the newly built and moved to live in, Lantian not only planned the location and size of the house for the people, but also forced every household to use dry toilets.

Building dry toilets can not only control the spread of diseases, but also increase fertilizer by diluting during cultivation.

Looking at the green seedlings, Lantian felt full of vitality, giving people hope as if it were blue oars.

"Sir, these seedlings have grown very well. The hard work of several months has not been in vain. I wonder if they will be higher than the yield of corn?" Gao Shun asked.

"Maybe it's not much..." Lan Tian said.

Since it is not a high-yield hybrid rice, it is almost impossible to achieve the terrible yield in later generations. The process of developing hybrid rice is quite complicated, and Lantian is almost impossible to complete it with his own strength.

"Why don't you still plant millet grains? Sir, don't have to work hard to teach again." Gao Shun looked puzzled.

Lantian smiled slightly, "The northern plains often use cavalry to fight, and the south has many hills and mountains suitable for infantry. This kind of crop is like fighting, and it also needs to be adapted to local conditions. The south is mild and rainy, which is more suitable for the growth of rice that likes water, and they are all willing to learn."

"Sir, it always has a deep meaning." Gao Shunxin said that you teach the skills of living, so these farmers naturally flock to you.

"I hope there are fewer diseases and fewer disasters in the rice." Lantian said to himself.

Without the assistance of pesticides, fertilizers, machinery, etc., in ancient times, if you want to increase yields and harvests, it depends largely on the weather. Lantian could only make the people more profitable through his own knowledge.

"When talking about using troops, General Gan..." Gao Shun wanted to speak but stopped.

"If you have something to say, you might as well say it bluntly." Lan Tian asked when he saw this.

"Gen. Gan has been in good condition since he was appointed as the county magistrate, but he is more rude to some Yue people who commit crimes. This is somewhat different from Mr.'s policy of promoting ethnic integration and the policy of Huaru..." Gao Shun has always been quick-witted, but Gan Ning is quite valued by Lantian. He was unwilling to say bad things behind his back.

"Is this the same for the Han people?" Lantian asked again.

Gao Shun nodded, "Well, treat everyone equally."

"There is no problem to treat everyone equally. The so-called "no rules" cannot be achieved. Although I say that I should treat Yue people friendly, I cannot let them go. Gan Xingba did a good job in this regard." Lan Tian affirmed.

"I understand when I say this. In fact, General Gan not only maintains Linwu's public order, but also dredged rivers to help the people dig water and build canals. It's a bit insignificant to be a county magistrate." Gao Shun said.

Lan Tian laughed, "Is our General Gao more talented? As long as you are willing, there will be opportunities in the future."

"My mission is to protect the lord, and of course there is also the gentleman and the little master." Gao Shun said sternly.

Lan Tian looked into the distance and sighed: "Why don't a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan..."

When Gao Shun was tranced, Lan Tian continued: "I have some insights on bringing people to farm rice these days. In fact, it can also be used as a reference in military terms. If you are idle, gather Xingba. Let's discuss teaching a group of students from the school?"

"Can the generals teach? This is all based on military merit..." Gao Shun reminded.

"The promotion depends on military merits, but if you want to make full use of your talents, you should try your best to create opportunities for them. Some are good at trapping troops, some are good at sending troops, some are good at surveillance, and some are good at logistics, and as long as someone is pointing out, it can be effective. However, the military affairs in this kind of battalion require generals like Boping to discover, and there is live water at the source so that it will not dry up..." Lantian said.

Gao Shun stroked her beard and asked, "Sir, is this method useful?"

Lantian nodded and said, "I think I can give it a try."

Gao Shun said: "Then General Gan and I will take a look and pick out twenty soldiers from each camp as students. Then the teacher will tell you how to teach."

"I'm happy to do this."
