Chapter 373 Planting trees is a technical job
Housewarming is over.

The living environment has naturally improved a big step.

and.

Still living on the second floor, this gave Li Chongyuan a lot of space.

There are not many houses on the other side of the small courtyard.

Coupled with the large number of staff, there is no nursing home if you want it.

And after Li Chongyuan moved to the big house, Xingba and the others immediately moved here, which can be regarded as an extra insurance.

As the time goes.

Farming is almost over.

The helpers also came back to work one after another.

The opening of Niu Shou Mountain is also advancing.

someday.

Qiao Su brought back some saplings from Chang'an, "Young Master, these are the saplings you want, including plums and others."

"Okay, it's finally here. I've been waiting, but I've been waiting for two months. Hurry up, get all these saplings down and soak them in water in the small courtyard, and tomorrow I'll go to the mountain to dig holes and plant trees .” Li Chongyuan looked at the young saplings on the carriage, and felt how happy Beng Ti was.

There is a saying.

Niu Shou Mountain was developed to grow fruit trees. If there were no fruit trees, Li Chongyuan wouldn't have the drive to build a mountain.

Qiaosu commanded Xingba and the others, both supporting and resisting.

After a while, the little sapling finally fell to the ground. Qiao Su thought to himself that one of his affairs was finally missing.

but.

Although Qiao Su said that one thing was missing, he was at a loss when it came to planting trees, "My lord, none of us understand this kind of tree, why don't I go to Chang'an to invite someone who understands this kind of work to come?" ?”

"Forget it, forget it, it's just such a big matter, and you still have to invite Zhuan's family? Please watch it tomorrow." Li Chongyuan waved his hand, not caring at all.

Just plant trees.

Putting it in Li Chongyuan's hometown in his previous life, if he didn't know how to grow it, he would be scolded.

Plus the school where Li Chongyuan was in his previous life.

This is agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry.

Even if you don't study this major, you can say that you have been fascinated by it, so how could you not know how to plant trees?
Plant leaves in spring and roots in autumn.

Plant trees in spring, and the leaves of the saplings will be vigorous in the current year or the coming year.

There is a lot of rain in spring, so what the leaves need to grow can be guaranteed, so the spring leaves are planted in this way. This is also Li Chongyuan's most basic understanding of being born in the south.

And when the trees are planted in autumn, in addition to the death of a batch, the root system will be more developed than the saplings planted in spring.

after all.

In addition to the lack of rain in autumn, the groundwater also falls.

In order for the new saplings to absorb enough water, the root system will continue to drill underground.

This is also the saying of autumn planting roots.

And Li Chongyuan was born in Jiangxi Province, so planting trees is a common thing.

How to put it, people in Gan Province like to plant fruit trees. As long as they can easily get any kind of fruit trees, they want to plant them again so that they can bring more fruit to their families.

In Li Chongyuan's former family.

It can be said that many plum trees, peach trees, jujube trees, orange trees, tangerine trees, grapefruit trees, etc. have been planted, among which plums, oranges, and grapefruits are the most numerous.

and.

Yongxin, the hometown of Li Chongyuan in his previous life, has four specialties and delicacies, Hezi Sizhen.

And these four delicious specialties, that is, Hezi Sizhen, two of which need to use plums and grapefruits.

Thinking of this and Zi Sizhen.

Li Chongyuan swallowed hard.

"Fourth brother, did you swallow your saliva and think of something delicious?" Wan'er, who was standing aside, was also affected when she saw Li Chongyuan swallowing hard.

Li Chongyuan smiled indifferently, "Yes, fourth brother, I want to eat some delicacies that I want to eat, but unfortunately we don't have them here, otherwise, I have to make them and eat them." Li Chongyuan swallowed again after speaking, and continued: " However, don't worry, after a few years, as long as these saplings can grow into big trees and bear fruit, Fourth Brother will make them for you to eat."

"Fourth brother, can't you make it now? That's right, you can't buy fruit now, and there must be some in summer. Fourth brother, you can make it and eat it in summer." Wan'er basically can't refuse food.

This is not.

As soon as her fourth brother mentioned delicious food, she was moved.

At this time, Li Chongyuan nodded lightly and said: "Okay, then I will make it for you to eat in summer. At that time, I will make this delicacy bigger and stronger, and sell it to various places. So that those foreign people will also know, we There is no shortage of delicacies in the Tang Dynasty.”

With Li Chongyuan's assurance, Wan'er began to fantasize about the coming of summer soon, so that she would be able to taste the delicacy that even her fourth brother was so greedy for.

It's a pity that it's still spring, and it's still early before summer.

The next morning.

Resisting a hoe, Li Chongyuan took Wan'er to Niushou Mountain.

Naturally, Xing Ba and the others were accompanying them.

Each of them was holding a hoe, and there was De Qiaosu who was leaning on the hoe.

As for the other guards, they were already scattered in the depths of Niu Shou Mountain.

The helpers want to open the mountain, and the guards of the startling snake will naturally fall on their heads.

Came to Niu Shou Mountain.

Li Chongyuan missed Qiao Su again, called the diggers over, and began to explain the pit digging one by one.

Digging pits does not bury people, only plant trees.

Once the hole was dug, it took several days.

After a few days, the wasteland on Niu Shou Mountain has not been opened up much, and pits have been dug everywhere.

There were not many saplings, but the pit was dug out in advance, which also made Li Chongyuan miss San Dezi to go back to Chang'an to urge the saplings.

"Xiao Langjun, how do you think my saplings are growing? I planted them according to your instructions, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Qiao Su sat on the ground, pawing the soil, and asked Li Chongyuan who came over. road.

At this time, he, Li Chongyuan and others.

If you want to look bad.

It can be said that even Qiao Su, who is missing a leg, has started to plant saplings, so who else is idle?

After Li Chongyuan looked at the saplings Qiao Su planted, he immediately shook his head, "You, it seems that it can only be used for accounting purposes, this tree is not planted like this, planting trees is a technical job. "

"Xiao Langjun, I planted this according to your words, that's right, what's wrong with me?" Qiao Su disagreed with Li Chongyuan's words.

As far as this kind of work of planting trees is concerned, although he has rarely done it.

But whether it’s been a few days of digging the hole, or just listening to Li Chongyuan’s essentials for planting trees, no matter what, his little sapling has been planted without any problems.

Li Chongyuan pulled out the sapling casually, and pointed to it: "You listen to me, and everyone listens to me too. This kind of sapling should not be planted as deep as possible, but should be appropriate. What is appropriate, it is a sapling." The top one-third of the roots fall to the soil, and if there is any more, it will easily suffocate the saplings."

The job of carrying trees is really a technical job.

If the planting is too deep, the saplings are prone to heartburn, that is, they are easy to suffocate.

It's even worse if the seeds are too shallow. One is easy to fall, and the other is not easy to absorb the nutrients in the soil.

In short.

In addition to clearly distinguishing the seasons when planting trees, one must also pay attention to the length and size of the saplings.

And with Li Chongyuan's introduction of the essentials again, everyone gradually became clear and understood a little bit.

"Fourth brother, how do you think my peach tree is doing?" When Li Chongyuan came to the area where the peach trees were planted, Wan'er pointed to her sapling and asked after seeing it.

Li Chongyuan looked at the peach tree Wan'er planted, and felt really distressed.

Peach seedlings are the most difficult to plant.

And the peach tree sapling Wan'er planted was less than two feet long, and it was buried a foot deep. This is not a planted tree, but a buried tree.

Without further ado, Li Chongyuan pulled it out, "Are you planting a tree? You are burying a tree. Okay, stop playing. If you keep playing, my peach sapling will be destroyed by you."

"Fourth brother, you are the worst. I finally planted a good one. You pull it up as soon as you say it. I won't follow it, I won't follow it." Wan'er saw that the peach tree sapling she had planted so hard was pulled up, and she immediately twitched. Not happy.

Li Chongyuan picked up Wan'er's small hoe and dug along the pit, "Look, just plant it to a quarter of the place, then compact the soil and step on it a few more times, it's best to water it again." Just a little water."

After all the work, Wan'er's ears don't grow on her head.

Li Chongyuan couldn't help it either, he didn't bother to care about her, and continued his inspection tour.

After Wan'er saw her fourth brother leave, she took a small hoe to another small pit and started her great business of burying saplings.

Just waiting for the time to plant trees on Niu Shou Mountain.

In Hujiazhuang, a middle-aged man who was appointed by Li Chongyuan to be in charge recruited some new villagers and tenants.

"Everyone, the farming work is over. You'd better tidy up your house recently, so you don't lose the name of Mr. Li." The middle-aged man shouted loudly to the crowd when he saw the villagers and tenants under his command standing still. talk.

The middle-aged people are not very old, but they are not young either. They are in their forties.

Moreover, this person is also literate.

otherwise.

Li Chongyuan will not appoint this person as the temporary steward of Hujiazhuang.

This person's surname is Zhang and his first name is Ping.

It was Li Chongyuan who asked someone to get a tenant in Hujiazhuang.

of course.

The villagers under Zhang Ping's command were also some tenants that Li Chongyuan asked people to get from other places.

Although the population of Hujiazhuang is large, after the two cleanings, Hujiazhuang seems a bit depressed.

The population has decreased so much, but the land belonging to Li Chongyuan has increased a lot. Up to now, the land belonging to Li Chongyuan has amounted to at least 2000 mu or nearly [-] mu.

to this end.

In order not to take advantage of the people of Hujiazhuang, Li Chongyuan had to get some tenants from outside to cultivate his own fields in Hujiazhuang for himself.

Seeing that Zhang Ping had spoken, all the villagers and tenants quickly responded, "Yes, Manager Zhang, don't worry, we all know how to do it, and Manager Qiao has already said it when he came here last time."

"Well, I won't say any more. The houses where each family lived originally belonged to the Hu family. Now that Mr. Li has brought us to the Hu family, we can't add trouble to Mr. Li. Don't have any gaps with the people in Hujiazhuang. Besides, after each family is done, we will go to Lizhuang to work as helpers tomorrow." Zhang Ping nodded and said.

When the villagers heard that they were going to work as helpers in Lizhuang, a golden light flashed in their eyes immediately, "Guard Zhang, is it possible to deduct those rations by going to work as helpers in Lizhuang?"

"Guard Zhang, I heard that when I go to Lizhuang to work as a helper, I get dozens of pennies a day."

"Guard Zhang, can my Dalang go?"

What Zhang Ping said was to go to Lizhuang to work as a helper.

Although they have only been in Hujiazhuang for two months, they also know that going to Lizhuang to work as helpers is the best job in the world.

In addition to food and drink, you can get high wages.

They are willing to do such a job, even if it means being a helper for a lifetime.

Zhang Ping looked at all the villagers and tenants, and then explained them one by one.

Shortly thereafter.

All the tenants went to their respective homes.

For the current life, they have expectations.

originally.

In the past, their lives were not satisfactory.

Now in this Hujiazhuang, there is a house to live in, and the house is not bad.

In addition, Li Chongyuan, a county town, is also considered generous. First, he gave each family rations and let them spend half a year first.

although.

Up to now, they haven't seen their Dong family's county magistrate yet, but Li Chongyuan's reputation has spread throughout Hu County.

Great good people, great good people and so on.

To be Li Chongyuan's tenants, even other ordinary farmers, are a little yearning, not to mention them who came from other places.

the next day.

Many people from Hujiazhuang left from Hujiazhuang, resisting their own agricultural equipment, and rushed to Lizhuang.

"Steward Qiao, I brought them all, but there are a lot of people, there are children and old people, you see..." When Zhang Ping saw Qiao Su, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Both belong to stewards.

But Zhang Ping's manager is lower than Qiao Su's.

Furthermore.

Zhang Ping's manager was nominated by Qiao Su and appointed by Li Chongyuan.

Naturally, when Zhang Ping saw Qiao Su, he felt nervous.

Qiao Su looked at the many tenants in tattered clothes, and shook his head slightly, "That's how you came here? Don't you even have a decent piece of clothes in this house? If Mr. Xiao Lang saw this, he would think I withheld your money."

"This... everyone is reluctant to part with this, and I ask Manager Qiao to be considerate and considerate. If Mr. Xiao Lang blames it, then blame me Zhang Ping." Zhang Ping can be regarded as responsible.

After Qiao Su looked at it speechlessly, he waved his hand casually, "Let everyone follow me, it happens that Niu Shou Mountain needs people to open the mountain, and it is the time when there is a shortage of people."

After Zhang Ping heard the words, he hurriedly called all the tenants to follow.

Soon.

Only then did everyone arrive at Niu Shou Mountain.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was inspecting the saplings planted yesterday.

When Li Chongyuan saw a group of ragged, beggar-like people coming to Niu Shou Mountain, he was really shocked.

Qiao Su leaned on crutches and fell down before coming to Li Chongyuan, "Young Lord, the tenants of Hujiazhuang are here to help, how do you think about the arrangement?"

"These are the tenants of Hujiazhuang? You're right!" Li Chongyuan thought he had heard it wrong when he first heard it.

As far as the personnel he saw at the moment, there were two or three hundred people, not to mention their ragged clothes, their faces were all sallow, sallow and thin, and all of them were skinny.

This is not a tenant, this is a refugee.

A few years ago, there were constant famines in various parts of the Tang Kingdom, and Chao Ting also issued an announcement to find a way out. For this reason, there were refugees everywhere in the Tang Kingdom.

In Li Chongyuan's impression, the images of refugees are basically similar to those of these tenants.
