Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 71

During the meal, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but smile when she thought about how much money there was in the house.

Sun Xin smiled and said to her: "Now you can rest assured, I will take a look at the village first tomorrow, and then I will go to Dulonggang to settle all the money for the wood, so that Daddy can rest assured Come."

Hu Sanniang nodded: "That's what I said."

At this time, the maid Ya'er brought up a bowl of noodles boiled with physalis, which is called Shuiyinbing these days.

Sunjiazhuang harvested a lot of wheat this year. In his previous life, Sun Xin didn't feel much about coarse grains and fine grains, but in this age, because of the lack of material enjoyment, he found that fine grains are really much better than coarse grains.

Now that there is so much wheat, the staple food at home has evolved directly from cornmeal to white noodles. All kinds of noodles are a must in summer.

A lot of fermented sour soup is added to this sour soup mercury cake, which is very appetizing in summer after being cooked carefully.

But even so, when Sun Xin watched Hu Sanniang go to serve the noodles, there were still fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

The weather is getting warmer this year, and just after entering June, people can't sit still in this extremely warm room.

What's more, Hu Sanniang's body became heavier after she became pregnant.

Sun Xin quickly took the bowl from Hu Sanniang's hand and said, "I'll scoop it myself, you sit down."

He thought for a while and said to Hu Sanniang: "Let's build a pavilion on the village later."

Hu Sanniang shook her head: "Why waste that money, when it's hot, go sit in the downwind place. There is a gazebo in Fuji's village, but it doesn't seem so cool."

Sun Xindao: "I know a kind of gazebo, which draws water over the pavilion and flows down to take away the heat. Even on a hot day, it can be much cooler than other places. We just built one like that in our village."

The scorching heat of summer in this time and space really leaves people with nowhere to hide, let alone an air conditioner, not even an electric fan.

It is unrealistic to ask someone to follow you all the time to fan the fan, not to mention that the effect is not good, just walking around and following someone around will make people upset, it is pure burning.

Sun Xin has long wanted to build a self-rain pavilion like the one he saw in popular science books before, but he had never been able to get enough money before. Now that he has money, he must build a cool room so that The daughter-in-law enjoys it.

Hu Sanniang was a bit reluctant to part with the money, but Sun Xin made a final decision: "This matter is settled like this."

Hu Sanniang looked at him and smiled, "If you say that, then I won't say anything." She was very happy, after all, she knew that Sun Xin wanted to build this pavilion for her consideration.

That night, Sun Xin approached the craftsmen who built the watchtowers in the village and told them about the structure of the Ziyu Pavilion.

Several craftsmen thought for a long time and said to Sun Xin: "It is not difficult to build a pavilion, but the key is how to bring water up?"

Since the rain pavilion does not need much water, Sun Xin had already had the corresponding idea. He built the pavilion directly on a lake in the village, and then erected a windmill next to it. The windmill is connected to the waterwheel with a transmission shaft. , Shili Pai is a flat place, and the sea breeze is also strong. The power provided by the windmill is enough to lift the water in the lake to a higher place.

The water flows from the high place to the bottom and falls on the pavilion. Walking into the pavilion in summer, there will be a refreshing scene.

Sun Xin communicated with those craftsmen about his design, and several craftsmen quoted a price to Sun Xin. It would cost more than 100 taels just to build such a pavilion.

No wonder this thing is a luxury, but now he has enough money.And this thing is built in his own Zhuangzi, so he doesn't worry about being seen by outsiders. With a big wave of his hand, he asked the craftsman to fix the Ziyu Pavilion for him while repairing the watchtower.

When the craftsman heard that Sun Xin had made a decision, and saw that he took the money readily, he immediately said that the pavilion would not take too much trouble to build, but it would take about ten days to complete it.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Xin hurriedly went to Zhuangzi to check the cultivation situation during this period.

All the tenants in the subfield planted cultivated land, so there was no problem in production, but when they came to the newly reclaimed land, Sun Xin saw a few farmers who were arguing and shoving each other.

Sun Xin hurriedly went up to ask what was going on. Zou Yuan, who was at the side trying to persuade the fight, said to Sun Xin in a difficult way: "Among our newly opened land, there are hundreds of acres of sandy land. The two groups of people are afraid that these lands will be destroyed next year." It is to be divided into their own hands, and they are pushing each other endlessly."

When he was talking, a villager on one side rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the people on the other side, saying: "This land was originally assigned to them to develop, they just borrowed our labor, and now they say that this land belongs to us." It was reclaimed with them, this is not our land, the owner of the farm is aware of it, and when the time comes, they will plant their own land and don't rely on us."

The people on the other side were also aggrieved, pointing to the farmer here and said: "At that time, you saw that our land was vast, and the grass on it was not removed. You thought this might be a good land, so you took the initiative to talk to me. Let’s come to reclaim it together. Now that the land that has been opened up is sandy land, don’t you want it? If we rent out half of this land when we rent it, no one should blame anyone.”

Sun Xin took a look at the land they had reclaimed, and found that these lands were in the center of his Sun Family Village's land expansion, and it was impossible to abandon them, and they must be cultivated by people.

But the condition of these lands is very bad. It is full of white sugar soil as far as the eye can see. The desertification of this kind of land is very serious. After watering and fertilizing, everything will seep away, and no one will be willing to plant it if it is distributed.

"How big is this land?"

When Zou Yuan heard this, his face became even uglier, and he whispered to Sun Xin: "From here we go all the way to the south, and we haven't started to cultivate any further south, but the area just opened is Hundreds of acres."

Sun Xin squatted at the top of the field and studied it carefully, then turned around and asked Xie Zhen to lead the horse.

After riding his horse, he drove forward all the way, and saw that there were still two to three hundred acres of land surrounded by them that were covered with sandy crops.

Obviously these are all sandy soils, but Sun Xin discovered that these lands are not completely irreparable alkaline soils. The main reason for the desertification of these lands is that the terrain here is low-lying and the drainage is not smooth, so that there is not enough growth here for a long time. tall plants.There is no way to leave much nutrients behind which makes the land very barren.

But if it is placed on a field like this in later generations, as long as it is well drained and the fertilizer can keep up, such land is still a good field, but under today's conditions, Zhuang Kemen will definitely not want to farm such a field.

Seeing Sun Xin coming back, Zou Yuan said with a headache, "Master, what do you think about this?"

Sun Xin said with a smile: "Just change it. You arrange a group of people to drain the land. I will send people to buy river mud and mix it into the sugar soil. After that, it will still be a fertile field."

Zou Yuan was puzzled: "How much will it cost if this can be done?"

Sun Xin didn't answer. Of course, this method is the best. Although the investment in converting all these lands into fertile land is a bit more this year, it will definitely earn back in the future.

Zou Yuan remembered that when Zou Run returned home yesterday, although he kept his mouth shut, Zou Run paid back all the money he owed him before, and even paid a lot of money for his wife and children to buy new clothes and food. Woke up this morning and said that he wanted to renovate the house. Zou Yuan thought that they must have earned money from their trip, but now he could not help but be surprised when he saw Sun Xin's hand in improving the land.

It seems that Sun Xin earned a lot more money than he imagined this time.
