Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 82 Improved Farm Tools
After Lan Tian taught everyone to select the strains, he did not pick them directly, but returned to the village to build a mushroom house.

There are strict requirements for the site selection, ventilation, and lighting of the mushroom house. Li Yang and others listen carefully like elementary school students.

When building a mushroom house, Deng Fan begged Li Yang to build a small one for him, expressing that he also wanted to learn how to grow mushrooms, and that his motivation to study was higher than that of an adult.

After the mushroom house is built, it is time to prepare nourishment, because there is no chemical fertilizer in this era, so the choice of nourishment can only be made from local materials, such as cow dung, straw and other raw materials.

After the nutrients are fermented, the soil is turned over to build a pile, and the mushroom spores are picked from the wild strains, and then transplanted into the mushroom house for cultivation. Finally, it is watering with temperature control and curing of the bacteria.

Due to limited conditions, even Lan Tian, ​​a postgraduate student at the Agricultural University, spent several months cultivating the first batch of mushrooms.

The day of mushroom picking was as lively as New Year’s Eve. Those farmers in Xindengzhuang regarded Lantian as a god. The dozens of disciples he taught were vying to be invited by the farmer’s customers. After all, every household wanted to have this technology.

At this time, it was nearly the end of the year, and Liu Bei sent someone to Linwu to invite Lantian, saying that Zhao Yun was going to get married.

Lan Tian scratched his head, wondering if it was the Fan family?
He didn't have any gifts to give, so he simply brought some seasonal vegetables and newly cultivated mushrooms.

Lu Lingqi was seven or eight months pregnant, so she couldn't accompany Lantian to the banquet in Chen County, so he left Gao Shun to take care of her, and took Gan Ning to drink Zhao Yun's wedding wine.

Seeing Lantian bringing vegetables to congratulate him, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing and said, "Ziyu really never forgets farming."

"Military commander, don't laugh. Bei also delivered food to Liu Jingsheng and Mr. Shui Jing. The courtesy is light and the affection is heavy." Liu Bei said.

"It's all Ziyu's plan, really wonderful." Zhuge Liang praised.

"Who is Zilong's wife?" Lan Tian asked puzzled.

"The widowed sister-in-law of Zhao Taishou is very beautiful." Liu Bei laughed.

Lan Tianxin said that the Butterfly Effect made Zilong come true. At this time, Zhao Yun came out and welcomed everyone in.

After the etiquette, the guests and hosts were seated, and Lan Tian asked Gan Ning to toast with the generals. Although Gao Shun's lonely minister was loved by the lord, in the end, not only did he suffer for himself, but he might also hurt future generations.

Xu Chu was like this during his lifetime, and even Cao Ren kept a distance from him when he was close to him. In the end, not only did he not deserve to enjoy the ancestral temple, but his own son became a stepping stone for others.

Lan Tian has accumulated historical experience. He cannot help everyone, but he can help those he values.

Gan Ning is a Berkshire man with a heroic nature, and under the impetus of wine, he soon got along with Zhang Fei and others. This kind of harmonious situation is what Lan Tian hopes to see.

"It's been a long time since it was so lively, these days are really not going well." Liu Bei sighed.

"Many people came to Guiyang who were dissatisfied with the environment, and there was a mass poisoning incident in Linwu. Fortunately, Ziyu dealt with it in time. If it caused a civil uprising, the consequences would be disastrous." Xu Shu said.

Zhuge nodded and said: "Ziyu is indeed very human. I think Linwu is well governed. We can go and have a look when the lord is free."

"I'm going too." Zhang Fei suddenly picked up the wine bowl and came over to talk.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Third Brother, let's go have a drink, let's talk about governing the country."

"Ziyu hasn't come here for a long time, and I haven't had a drink with him yet." Zhang Fei mumbled drunkenly.

"General Zhang, I'll drink with you." Gan Ning came over to make a rescue.

Zhang Fei turned his head and pointed at the other party with squinted eyes and said, "You are Gan Xingba, I remember you, let's do ten bowls first."

"Hey, the third brother just can't drink too much, he will talk nonsense when he drinks too much," Liu Bei sighed.

"The three generals have a straightforward personality and are quite likable." Lan Tian laughed.

While everyone was chatting, a pawn outside the hall came and whispered something in Zhuge Liang's ear, and his face suddenly changed after listening.

"Military division, what's the matter?" Liu Bei asked with concern.

Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "Cao Cao has captured Yecheng, and the high officials of Bingzhou have also surrendered."

Everyone at the banquet felt that the meat on the case was not good. Lan Tian thought that Cao Cao would not pacify the north so quickly, so he comforted everyone: "Yuan Benchu ​​can't defeat Cao Cao, let alone his son? Strengthen yourself."

"Ziyu is right. Only by strengthening yourself can you plan for the world. There will be a great war in Jingzhou in the future." Zhuge Liang echoed.

"There is no barrier to the north of Jingzhou, and there are many relatives and bandits under Liu Biao's tent. Now we can only rely on the Yangtze River." Xu Shushuo added.

"My lord, build the ship and train the navy ahead of time," Zhuge Liang reminded.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I'll let my second brother build a ship in Leishui to train soldiers later."

The originally joyous wedding banquet, because of the war situation in the north, cast a layer of gloom on the hearts of everyone.

After returning to Linwu County, Lan Tian said to Gan Ning: "Xingba is unhappy today, could it be because you were not asked to build a navy?"

Gan Ning shook his head and said, "The winter in Linwu is warmer than that in the north, I'm just bored with nothing to do."

Lan Tian looked up at Qinshui not far away and said: "Although Qinshui is not as wide as Leishui, it is still a big river. You can take advantage of the dry winter and bring people to dredge the river. In the coming year, we can also build ships here. If you can Training the navy can also facilitate water transportation.”

Gan Ning said happily, "Then I will order someone to dredge the cofferdam tomorrow."

The climate in Linwu County is mild, and the winter is not as cold as in Xinye, so everyone is happy to have a warm winter, and in February of the following year, everyone can't rest and prepares to start spring plowing.

The people who migrated from Xinye did not have cattle, so they could only manually turn over the land to exchange time for space. They were envious of the aborigines who used cattle to pull the plow.

People from Xindengzhuang were newcomers, and they couldn’t borrow cattle from the old residents of Linwu. In the end, they could only find dozens of cattle from Lantian through the county magistrate. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was better than nothing.

Sitting by the edge of the field, Lan Tian always felt that something was wrong. He had been with him for several years, and finally realized that the long straight shaft plows they used were particularly strenuous when turning back and turning, and the soil was not moving smoothly. .

Lan Tian clapped his hands suddenly and said to himself: "It turns out that there is something wrong with the plow. We must find a way to get the Quyuan plow out, otherwise it will be too laborious to grow rice in a large area in the future."

Although Lantian is often in the field, it basically cultivates grains that are resistant to insect diseases and increase production. The actual time of farming in the field is not long, so there is no thought of improving the efficiency of farm tools at all.

He was born in Lantian Agricultural Sciences. Although he didn't study ancient farm tools carefully, he was still impressed by the very famous Quyuanli.

According to Lu Guimeng's Leisi Jing, Quyuanli consists of eleven parts.That is, plow share, plow wall, plow bottom, plow, plow forehead, plow arrow, plow shaft, plow tip, plow comment, plow construction and plow plate.

For such a complicated accessory, Lan Tian could only draw on the cloth based on his memory, and then find skilled craftsmen in the city to polish it repeatedly, and it was impossible to make it in a short time.

As the saying goes, a good meal is never too late, and agricultural tools that improve efficiency must be made no matter how long it takes.

Lan Tian looked at the blueprints he had drawn with a brush, and wondered why the drawings weren't perfect?This hand couldn't control the lines at all, so in the end, I invited a painter from Chen County to paint on the ground with branches, and let the painter copy it on the cloth.

On the day the drawings were completed, Lu Lingqi gave birth.
