Chapter 1360
Li Yaoer is very interested in her peers in this other time and space, and has a good impression of them: Wang Siniang is much more lively and good-looking than other girls of the same age she has seen—even the naturalized women in Lingao are rare in China.Moreover, Wang Siniang has always been flattering to her - flattery is always very useful.

She had already confirmed in her heart that this was the location of the silkworm farm, and the big thing was over, so she decided to chat with Wang Siniang. Besides, Zhao Yingong also mentioned to her that this Wang Siniang was a skilled hand in silkworm raising and silk reeling, and he was the Hangzhou Station and The object that the Council of Agriculture focuses on training.This time she came to do silkworm rearing work, Zhao Yingong specially transferred Wang Siniang to her.

"Sis, how old are you?"

"My maidservant is thirty..." Wang Siniang said, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm old." As she spoke, she subconsciously stroked the flowers on her temples, showing a natural and charming attitude, since Li Yaoer It also looks quite attractive.

"How old is it? It's just as good as a flower."

Wang Siniang suddenly realized that the girl Li in front of her was probably not much younger than herself, and it was a bit abrupt to say so, she couldn't help but blushed, and didn't dare to say any more.

Li Yaoer was not as caring as she was, and asked about her family situation.Wang Siniang did not hide anything, and explained the situation at home one by one.It's just that his eldest daughter is already grown up, and the master won't pick a job, and won't allow her to be matched.Make her a little worried.

"How old is your eldest daughter?"

"It's already fifteen." Wang Siniang said, "When the servant girl is 15 years old, she will be a mother."

Li Yaoer thought about what she looked like when she was 15 years old, and she didn't think she would have the ability to be someone else's wife, let alone be someone's mother—this time and space is so scary.

"She's not very old, so why rush to get married? Isn't it good to study in a private school?"

"I just study, I don't pick jobs, and I don't have monthly money, so I just rely on my mother's monthly money." Wang Siniang said with a wry smile, "When I didn't come here, it was a good helper to help the family. Now I can't do any work. It was assigned by the management office, and it seems that her helpers are not even able to do any work."

Li Yaoer nodded: "Does your daughter know how to raise silkworms?"

"Why not? When I raised silkworms at home, I took her to do it. Not only can I raise silkworms, but also reel silk. Her silk reeling skills are well-known in our village." Wang Siniang heard Li The girl meant to use her own daughter, so she immediately cheered up and bragged about it.

"You're fine. When the silkworm farm wakes up, ask her to do the work."

"Thank you, miss, for your kindness!" Wang Siniang was overjoyed and blessed, after all, it was the master's predecessor, and he spoke loudly!

"Don't you have two daughters? How old is the second daughter?"

"Twelve, not too young."

"Then let's come together. I just want to hire people." Li Yao'er is not acting recklessly. Among the plans of the Agriculture Committee is the project of setting up a sericulture training class in Fenghuang Mountain Villa. The children in the private school run by Zhao Yingong are already grown up. Having received more than one year of education, which is as short as a few months, he can be the first batch of students in this training class to learn modern sericulture techniques systematically and formally.

When Wang Siniang heard that her second daughter's errand was guaranteed, she couldn't help but beam with joy. If it weren't for this place being in the wild, she would have knelt down and kowtowed to Miss Li immediately.I can't say enough thanks.

"What are the names of your two daughters?"

"Big sister and second sister."

"It's really careless." Li Yaoer muttered. The mother and daughter in this family are all named after numbers. She thought about it and said, "Let me give them a name. The eldest is called Shen Su, and the second is called Shen Hang." .”

The first two sericulture schools in China to carry out the innovation of modern sericulture farming in the countryside, one is the Sericulture College in Xushuguan, Suzhou, and the other is the Hangzhou Sericulture College in West Lake.Naming the two girls with two places represents Li Yaoer's expectations for them.

After returning from the mountain, Li Yaoer immediately devoted himself to the construction of the silkworm farm.The general planning of the silkworm farm is good, but the specific design must be combined with the topography.Fortunately, this kind of building is not complicated and does not require much professional knowledge, just remember a few key points.As for the construction work, since the construction of the villa is very heavy and has unique requirements, it seems inappropriate to hire local wooden cabinets for construction. Dedicated construction team.

First of all, a special road was laid to lead to the construction site. Road construction is already a common practice for the engineering team of Phoenix Mountain Villa - when there is no specific construction task, the only job of the construction team is to build roads to form the internal road network of Phoenix Mountain Villa. Communicate with various work locations on the mountain to speed up the flow of personnel and materials.

The sericulture farm was built according to the standards of China in the 20s, with simple construction and easy financing of materials.The silkworm houses in Fenghuang Mountain Villa are all one-story houses, facing south from the north, but the house is oriented slightly westward by five degrees to avoid the high temperature of "Xizhaoyang" and to properly introduce the cool breeze from the north, which is conducive to temperature control and is suitable for all seasons of the year. All of them have laid the foundation for the development of sericulture activities.There are big trees around the silkworm room for shade, which can slow down the rapid rise of indoor temperature caused by sunlight.Especially in summer, this is a very important thing.

The structure of the house is naturally a southern-style pointed roof to facilitate drainage. Except for the large windows on the north and south walls, it is roughly the same as the local dwellings in appearance: the same white walls and black tiles.

The silkworm house is a row of continuous bungalows, but each room is divided by 4.5 meters. The distance of 4.5 meters is just to place a row of silkworm racks on both sides, leaving a distance of 1.5 meters in the middle.The depth is 12 meters, 8 to 9 rows of silkworm foils are placed, the net use height of the house is 4 meters, and 10 to 12 layers of silkworm foils can be built.

The size of the silkworm room is quite particular.It is not economical to construct and use a silkworm room that is too small, and if the size is too large, it will be more difficult to adjust the climate of the silkworm room.This size is accumulated over the years by Chinese sericulture workers since the 20th century.

The building materials are very elegant, all brick houses.The outer walls and internal partitions are all made of bricks, not wood, to prevent mice from digging holes.The foundation part is made of strip stone and composite soil, which is slightly higher than the ground.The floors and walls are all plastered with cement so that the house can be kept dry and disinfected.The pointed-roof tile-roofed houses in the south of the Yangtze River generally do not install ceilings, and directly expose beams and columns, whichever is taller.However, ceilings are installed in all the silkworm houses, on the one hand to prevent the dust from falling on the beams and columns, and on the other hand, it is also good for heat preservation.

Multiple glass windows are used for the front and rear windows, and the ventilation can be increased or decreased by opening different numbers of windows according to the humidity and temperature in the silkworm room.However, if there are too many windows, the indoor light will become too strong, so it is equipped with adjustable shutters to adjust the indoor light.

On the outside of the window, a protruding iron anti-theft window is installed, and two wire screens are installed on the inside, one with a larger hole to prevent rats and the other thinner to prevent the intrusion of mosquitoes and flies.Rats, mosquitoes and flies are serious hazards in silkworm rearing, and must be strictly guarded against. As for the anti-theft windows, they are used to prevent people from stealing silkworm eggs.This time the Hangzhou Station will introduce a number of excellent silkworm eggs for breeding and breeding. Once successful, it will inevitably attract the attention of some people, so we have to take precautions in advance.

This kind of protection is not only on the windows, all the doors leading to the outside of the silkworm room also have similar devices to prevent rats, mosquitoes and flies from theft.

In addition to the silkworm room, a special mulberry storage room was built to preserve mulberry leaves.The mulberry storage room was built separately, because its requirements are completely different from those of the silkworm room, requiring low temperature and humidity, and low light, so it was built near the mountain wall with verdant trees.The windows in the walls are also smaller.

The most important part is the greening room.Acceleration is the hatching of silkworm eggs.Accelerating greens is the most technically difficult job in sericulture, and the quality of accelerating greens often affects hatchability and physical fitness.Cui Qing is good, with a high hatching rate and good silkworm physique. Not only the number of silkworms is larger, but also the resistance to diseases is better.

The overall cost of the green room is the largest, and the construction is also the most elegant.Not only is it a brick-and-tiled house, but additional insulation materials are installed on the inner side of the outer wall, and there is also an earth air conditioner with copper pipes inside, which is heated or cooled by injecting boiling water from a small boiler or low-temperature well water.There is also local humidification equipment to ensure the humidity of the greening room.

Li Yaoer built a large-scale green room in Fenghuang Mountain Villa, far exceeding the needs of the village’s own silkworm rearing. In addition, it is equipped with a simple silkworm egg dissection room and a low-magnification microscope made by Lingao Optical Factory. and some special equipment.Such a luxurious configuration is for the cooperative plan that the Council of Agriculture is planning to carry out in Hangzhou, which includes the concept of "concentrated youth promotion".

The traditional farm sericulture in China is mainly done by the sericulture farmers themselves. The method is mostly that the sericulture women wrap the silkworm eggs in tissue paper and put them on their chests to warm them up.The characteristics of constant body temperature are used to hatch silkworm eggs.Efficiency is low, and the consumption of manpower is also big, and the quality of promoting young people can't guarantee.

Therefore, in the improvement activities of Chinese sericulture that started in the early 20th century, sericulture technicians all proposed the concept of "concentrating to promote greenness".Concentrating the most technically difficult and most problematic breeding for farmers in professional breeding farms can not only ensure the hatching rate and quality of ant silkworms, but also enable silkworm farmers to get out of their bodies to engage in other jobs, greatly improving Reduce manpower occupation.

Unified breeding and concentrated breeding are the main measures of China's sericulture reform in the 20th century.The cost is small, but the effect is remarkable.The sericulture reform that the Council of Agriculture plans to carry out simultaneously in Jiangnan and Guangdong also starts from these two links.

Li Yaoer herself is not a sericulture major.However, she has received relevant professional training at the Council of Agriculture, coupled with a number of professional technical books-this technical reserve is sufficient in this time and space.
