I seek longevity in Datang

Chapter 20

Where to dig the trap?Of course, you have to kill three birds with one stone, and you can't dig it blindly.

Fang Shu's trap is different.Not a trap but a deep ditch.

At this time in mid-spring, there is still some time before spring plowing, but the farmers are already busy.Prepare for spring plowing.

Fang Shu is going to dig traps around the valley to surround it.

Don't think about the fences being too cumbersome or strong, but you can't let the wild beasts ruin her cultivated land.

At present, setting traps kills two birds with one stone, one is to block the footsteps of small animals, and the other is to facilitate drainage.If you catch the prey, it is a surprise.

Enclosed, the outer running circle is 2000 meters, and the project is huge.The valley is the size of a standard playground.

Dig it, dig small traps first, increase slowly, and finally dig through.

It's so easy to think, but so painful to do.Oh, I'm so tired.Just think of it as exercise, exercise your arm strength.

If you get tired of working, you can change your job, and there will be too much work to open up wasteland.Cut grass, pull bushes, dig grass roots, pick up stones, dig deep, break up clods, and level them.

The inner edge of the trap was built with stones.Sharpened sticks are stuck in the trap.

After working for more than ten days at a stretch, the wasteland became fertile land.There are traps all around, just waiting for the final pass.

These days, I have been eating less meat, and I can't eat dried meat. This is the only comforting thing.The traps are not laid in vain, and the traps are not dug in vain, there are rewards.

Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, so Fang Shu removed the covers around Qinyuan in the next few days.This side of the valley is enough.

On this day, Fang Shu decided to take a day off and not make spinning tops today.I put some small sweet potatoes in the back basket, and went to the second cave - Li Xiangcun to have a look.

When you arrive at Lixiang Village, go to the second cave first.The house has been built, except for a gap in the beams, and the floor has been laid in the house.

An oilcloth was spread on the floor, and the carpenters were cutting and installing the furniture.The wooden sofa in the living room is also done.

After meeting the head of the village, the head of the village was a little helpless with this nephew who had passed away. If a lot of money hadn't been thrown into Li Xiangcun, he had reason to think that Fang Shu had run away.

I gave the money to the Li Chang's wife, and gave her all the things about hospitality in Shangliang.

He also asked the head lady to buy cloth and cotton, make bed curtains, quilts, sofa cushions, pillows and other matters.

The head of the village took the initiative to mention Fang Shu's Koufen field and Yongye field, both of which were in the hands of the Fang surnamed people in the Ninth Village, and asked if he needed to ask for it.Fang Shu thought for a while and said, let's plant it for the tribe.

Both of them knew it well, so they didn't discuss this matter any more.

Fang Shu took out the little sweet potato and showed it to the chief:
"Uncle, can this plant be planted here?"

The main crops grown nowadays are barley and wheat, and there is also a small amount of rice in the area near water. Lixiang Village is not near water, so only barley and wheat are mainly grown.

Wheat can be divided into winter wheat and spring wheat according to the sowing season.After the Qin and Han Dynasties, winter wheat was also called Sumai, and spring wheat was called Rotating wheat.

There are many varieties of wheat, such as barley, wheat, Yangmai, Durian wheat, Yuanmai, Juemai and so on.

Length:

"What is this?"

"Sweet potatoes, also called sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, red yams, sweet potatoes, etc. Are there any here?"

"never seen it."

Fang Shu washed one, peeled it and ate it raw.He broke off another piece and handed it to the Li Chang to have a taste.

"This product is high-yield, sandy land, wasteland, and mountain fields are all suitable for planting. It can be used as life-saving food especially in the year of catastrophe.

Cut bud stems for planting.After the seedlings have branched, you can cut the tip cuttings in rainy days, or water them, and it is very easy to survive.The yield per mu is about [-] jin.

It can be steamed, roasted, cooked porridge, and made into cakes.It can also be sold as vermicelli.What does Uncle think of this thing?
If Li Xiang Village opens up wasteland to plant this thing, I will teach the villagers to leak noodles, make vermicelli, and sell them to restaurants.

It is the starch in the sweet potato that can be made into vermicelli, and the remaining dregs can be used to raise livestock and poultry.It can also be sold into restaurants after being slaughtered.

I have been living in a cave. There is a small wasteland in the mountains, and there are many transplanted herbs.

If there are branches this spring, I will bring them. My uncle can also arrange to plant them if he wants. I will also teach the villagers how to prepare them and sell them to pharmacies.

Uncle, I am not short of money, I want everyone to be rich.Do you think it is feasible? "

Li Xiangcun was included in Fang Shu's community of interests, of course it had to be related to her interests.

"This thing can drive several industries. Come, give me the basket. I want to discuss it with you, Grandpa Li and the clan elders."

Fang Shu nodded and said goodbye first, and wandered off to find Li Cheng.Li Cheng hasn't returned from hunting yet.Fang Shu borrowed a backpack from the Li family and went up the mountain by herself.Went to the area that Li Cheng often visited.

Picking begins after entering the mountain, most of which are wild vegetables, followed by herbs.It wasn't until it was getting late that we met Li Cheng who was carrying his prey.So they went home together.

After arriving at Li's house, after sorting out the wild vegetables, he asked Li Cheng to come over to recognize the herbs, and taught Aunt Li how to dry and process them, and promised to sell them to Jishitang for money if they accumulated more. Aunt Li was very grateful, and Li Cheng knew how to laugh. What a fool.

In the evening, I ate at Li Cheng's house, and I had a trick with Li Xin, mainly communicating.Li Cheng's fierce Fang Shu still respectfully thanked him.

The village chief talked through the clan elders and agreed to plant sweet potatoes and herbs.Fang Shu thought in her heart, is it stupid not to continue such good things?
The next day, Fang Shu held a big banquet in her new house and put beams on the new house.After digging the first shovel of soil for building the house by hand, I covered the new house with grass, mud and tiles again. In short, I was dizzy after a set of procedures, but my heart was very happy.

After Fang Shu's second cave was completed, she often came to live there.The name is Anju, which means my hometown.

This year, from spring to autumn, land reclamation, planting, herb collection, study in private schools during slack, teaching villagers how to process medicinal materials, powder leakage, breeding, etc., passed by in a flash.

When Mr. Li from the private school talked about geography, I finally understood that this mountain is not simple, it is the famous Zhongnan Mountain in the middle of the Qinling Mountains.

!!!

Zhongnan Mountain is famous!
In the south of Chang'an City, there is the majestic Qinling Mountains.This section of the Qinling Mountains in Xi'an is usually called Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Taiyi Mountain, is the birthplace of allusions such as "Shoubi Nanshan" and "Zhongnan Shortcut", and is also known as "the most blessed place in the world".

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely." It is also from this place.

In the eyes of emperors, nobles, eminent monks, and high Taoists, Zhongnan Mountain is a good place to seek immortality and cultivate one's morality.

Zhongnan Mountain is also a place where scholar-bureaucrats and intellectuals advance and retreat from the government and the opposition, "if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world".

There have been many hermits here, such as Jiang Ziya, the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Liang, the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism, and so on.

Most of the hermits in ancient times were the hermits of politicians. They were unwilling to talk with the world and were forced to flee.

But in the eyes of the people in Chang'an City, it is not only an object of worship, but also a kind friend, because Zhongnan Mountain provides them with the resources of life.

Fang Shu thought to herself, how lucky I am to be among the celebrities and live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, hehe.
