Chapter 199: Returning to the County and Saying Wheel Planting
In Wancheng in June, the sun was high in the sky and it was extremely hot.

In the county mansion, Master Bu was holding a trap and shaking it from side to side in front of little Huo Yi.The baby lying on the small wooden bed was so amused that his little legs fluttered and his little pink hands were raised high, trying to catch the rattle.

Bu Lianshi showed a sweet smile, teasing the baby between giving and not giving.It wasn't until little Huo Yi almost cried that Trainer Bu gave the rattle to little Huo Yi.And little Huo Yi also showed a cute smile, which made people feel loved.

"Madam, the master of the house is back!"

Da Qiao walked into the hall, with a hint of worry on her pretty face, and said, "Won't Madam go out to greet the master of the house?"

Trainer Bu wrinkled his nose and said, "You guys go and greet her. I'm taking care of A Niu in the house and it's not convenient for me to leave."

"This~"

Seeing Trainer Bu acting like this, Da Qiao bit his lip slightly, and he could guess what she was thinking, but he didn't say much because of his identity.After wandering for a while, Da Qiao and his sister could only greet Huo Jun in front of the door.

Huo Jun spent a few days chatting with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others at Jingkou, and then set off with Liu Bei. Liu Bei went to Xiakou, and Huo Jun returned to Wancheng.

Huo Jun and Liu Bei jointly formed the Jiangbei defense line, so there was cooperation.When Huo Jun was in charge of Jiangbei, Liu Bei could often leave Jingkou and go to Xiangyang or Wuxian.However, during the half year of Huo Jun's absence, Liu Bei was stationed at Jingkou and found it difficult to leave. In addition to handling official affairs in Danyang County, he also had the purpose of preventing Cao's army from marching south from Jianghuai.

Today Huo Jun returns from Yuzhou and actually liberates Liu Bei.Liu Bei explained some words to Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Mi Zhu, and then left Jingkou with Huo Jun and rushed to Xiakou with his cronies.

After a while, Huo Jun entered the house for the first time from outside. He saw Li Qian at the head, followed by concubines and maids, and the warbles and warbles greeted him in the inner hall.

Not seeing the Bu trainer, Huo Jun asked: "Where is Madam?"

Li Qian's beautiful eyes were filled with affection and she said: "The young master is noisy, so my wife is taking care of him in the hall. The master has been away for a long time and is quite tired. I may take the master to take a bath, or I can give him a squeeze."

Da Qiao glanced at Li Qian and said, "Madam has been very busy during the time when the master is away. Why not go and see Madam first? You can also go see the young master."

"Just wait and retreat first!"

Huo Jun glanced at the expressions of several people, and he had something in mind, and said with a smile: "I'll go see my wife first, Qian'er can prepare hot water, and I'll go wash up by then. It's been a long time since I asked Qian'er to knead it for me. "

"promise!"

Everyone left one after another, and Li Qian also left with satisfaction.

Huo Jun walked to the main room and saw Bu Lianshi taking care of the child with his back to the door.She knelt down, revealing her curvy figure.

Huo Jun saw that it was clear in his heart, coughed slightly and said, "I have been away from home for half a year for my husband, has A Niu been good?"

Trainer Bu's face lit up with joy, but he restrained it and said dullly, "I thought your husband didn't remember my concubine and A Niu?"

"how you said that?"

Huo Jun walked to Trainer Bu's side with a smile, and as he spoke, he held Trainer Bu's jade hand and said with a smile.

Trainer Bu rolled his eyes at Huo Jun and said angrily: "Having been away from home for half a year, if I don't have a concubine to send a letter to my husband first, will my husband remember to remember his wife and children at home?"

Huo Jun held Bu Lianshi in his arms and said: "I am afraid that my wife will be worried about my long voyage to Yuzhou, so I don't dare to talk to my family."

With that said, Huo Jun took out the wooden box from his arms, put it in the hands of Bu Lianshi, and said with a smile: "Madam, please open it and take a look."

Master Bu opened the wooden box, and he was shocked to see a round and huge pearl placed inside the box. It was crystal clear, with a warm and delicate color, making it difficult for any woman to take her eyes away.

"pearl?"

"Ok!"

Huo Jun said with a smile: "This is the Huai River Pearl, a tribute from the royal family. When I was stationed at Yuzhou for my husband, my men salvaged river mussels, and I was lucky enough to get this pearl in my belly. It is a rare treasure in the world. When I miss you, I can only see my wife's face. , only then can you wear this pearl.”

Pearls are divided into two types: freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls. Freshwater pearls mostly come from the Huaihe River Basin, and saltwater pearls come from Jiaozhou.Due to different production areas, freshwater pearls are called northern pearls and seawater pearls are called southern pearls.

In ancient times, northern pearls were more precious than southern pearls.From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Beizhu has been the exclusive tribute of princes, kings and emperors throughout the ages.For example, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Jianghuai Yi people presented pearls to the Emperor of Zhou.

Look at the pearls, which are light yellow in color, bright and round, and crystal clear.Trainer Bu snorted softly and said, "Since your husband has me in mind, I won't bother with you about letters or maids for the time being."

"Haha!" Huo Jun hugged Bu Lianshi's slightly plump waist after giving birth and said tenderly: "Madam works hard at home, but Jun is in Yuzhou and doesn't know about it. She has been thinking about it for a long time. I will give you a small gift to reward Madam. Toil.”

Trainer Bu raised his delicate oval face, his beautiful eyes were full of emotion, and his heart was melted by Huo Jun's love words.

When a little girl gets emotional, it can be solved by being careful, getting some small gifts, and saying sweet words.Of course, if you don’t want to work so hard to coax girls, you can easily solve many things with hundreds of millions of expensive gifts and sweet words.

In his previous life, Huo Jun thought that Guo Jing was able to catch up with Huang Rong because he was a fool who was blessed.But after getting closer, I found out that they smashed Ferraris, expensive mink furs, and gave away dozens or even millions of banknotes.

Of course, Trainer Bu's situation is different. She is Huo Jun's wife and an ancient girl. She is simple and easy to coax.Even if you don't give anything away, you can still coax him with some thought.

Cashing ability is just a shortcut, a means, which can reduce many difficulties for you.If you don't have the ability to make money, but you have other talents, just like you have a handsome appearance, it will be of great help in ancient times and modern times, regardless of gender.

Trainer Bu just felt that Huo Jun didn't care about her, so he got into trouble and wanted to get more favor from Huo Jun.After Huo Jun expressed her love, she revealed her longing for him in the past six months. In fact, Bu Lianshi was just a little girl.

After a while, Huo Jun went to the side hall and was served by Li Qian, who washed his hair and bathed, and massaged the beautiful woman, all in a one-stop service.

After bathing and changing clothes, it was almost dusk.During the night meal, Bu Lianshi prepared a good show for Huo Jun. The two girls played the piano and sang, the maids danced, the orioles sang and the swallows danced, and there was a beautiful woman in their arms. They tasted fine wine and meat, and it seemed that Governor Huo was very happy and carefree.

Happiness is always short-lived. After dinner, the singers and dancers retired, and Huo Jun met with County Sheriff Shi Sima Zhi in the hall.

"Greetings to Mr. Fu!" Sima Zhi said with cupped hands: "Zhi congratulates Mr. Fu for recruiting [-] people, opening a sea route, and returning to the county in victory."

Huo Jun, dressed in casual clothes, pointed to the seat opposite him, motioned for Sima Zhi to come into the bed, and said: "Zihua, Jun has not been in the county for half a year, and you have been in charge of most of the government affairs. How has the county changed in the past half a year?"

"Thank you, Lord!"

Sima Zhi knelt down on the couch and said: "When the emperor left the county last year, he told Zhi to plant wheat and check the county household registration. Now these two items have been somewhat achieved."

"Previously, Sumai was sown in [-] acres of fields in the autumn and harvested in April this year. Thinking about the sowing of Sumai, Zhi thought that rice-wheat rotation can be implemented, but there are also some trivial details that cannot be implemented. , need to be carefully considered.”

"Please!"

Sima Zhi organized his thoughts and said: "In terms of sowing time, rice sowing is usually in February, but it can also be postponed to the end of March or early April; however, April and May are the time for wheat harvest. [-] In September, there will be a good harvest of rice; wheat can be planted in September and October, and the harvest will be good the following year."

"However, the key point is that when rice is planted and wheat is harvested, some rice crops need to be planted early, and some rice crops can be planted late. If you want to do multiple planting of rice and wheat on the same acre of land, you need to plant late rice and then plant permanent wheat. Even if In this way, if you want to rotate crops on the same acre, you often need to drain the water so that you can plant wheat."

Sima Zhi worked as a farmer, and after a good harvest from wheat planting in Suzhou, he discovered the difficulty of double planting of rice and wheat.That is, if you want to plant rice and wheat on the same acre of land, you need to plant late rice, but not early wheat, otherwise it will conflict with winter wheat.However, late rice never appeared as a single variety in the Three Kingdoms. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that people differentiated between late rice and early rice.

And after the rice harvest, the water in the paddy fields needs to be drained before winter wheat can be planted.After all, rice is grown in paddy fields and winter wheat is grown in dry land. The living conditions are different and the conditions need to be adapted to the location.

"What is Zihua's different opinion?"

Sima Zhi pondered for a while and then said: "I would like to inform you, the south of the Yangtze River is vast and sparsely populated, and paddy fields are often cultivated. However, there are few cultivators in the dry land, and it is difficult to distinguish late rice. Now it is better to plant rice and wheat in different places. Plant rice normally in the paddy fields. In summer and autumn, there was a good harvest of rice; then in September and October, people were allowed to plant wheat on dry land."

"The next year, you can sow rice in March and harvest wheat in April. That is, harvest wheat in April and rice in July and August; plant rice in February and March, and plant wheat in September and October. Two years old."

This is Sima Zhi's suggestion based on the actual situation after the operation, to complete alternative rice and wheat multiple planting through off-site planting.After all, the current Jiangzuo is not like the Southern Song Dynasty. There is not much conflict between man and land. The harvest does not depend on the land, but is limited by manpower.

Huo Jun sipped his tea and said with a smile: "What's the difficulty in choosing late rice?"

"Since ancient times, people in the South have rarely differentiated between early and late rice. They often cultivate it together. When the harvest is good, they collect the early rice, and when the late rice is mature, they take it again. Now we can divide it this way. Plant the same rice and use the late rice as seeds next year. Sow in April and May, harvest the seeds in autumn, and plant again the following year. After two years of back and forth, you can get the seeds of late rice."

The maturity time of late rice is different from that of early rice. Early rice takes three to four months to mature, while late rice takes five months to mature.Therefore, people in the Han Dynasty often harvested at different times, one in summer and another at the turn of summer and autumn.Choosing late-maturing rice is generally late rice, which is also one of the methods used by ancestors to select late rice.

After a pause, Huo Jun said: "This autumn, we can temporarily rotate rice and wheat in different places according to Zihua's method. If the late rice is ready, we can try the method of rotating rice and wheat in the same place on the thirty acres to see the yield. how."

The main reason why rice and wheat can be grown in rotation on the same land is the contradiction between man and land. There are more people and less land, which requires in-depth utilization of land.Therefore, Huo Jun is not overly pursuing it. Now he can promote the rice and wheat off-site rotation system in Poyang County, which can greatly increase crop yields.This can then be fed back into taxes. After all, the increase in yield per acre actually also increases taxes.

This year, the rice and wheat off-site rotation system will be promoted in Poyang County. If the results are impressive, the people's yield per mu will increase significantly.Next year, Huo Jun can propose to the state to promote this method, so that all counties in Jiangdong can adopt the rice and wheat off-site rotation system to further narrow the gap with the north.

"No!" Sima Zhi responded with his hands raised.
