Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 531 The Prince's Training Class Begins

When Tian Mengmeng was bright, Sun Xiangfu got up and went to the field to check the situation of the whole field. He was afraid that he would go out late and be entangled by his own little guys. It was no fun in the muddy rice field. of.

Generally speaking, Wu Meiniang is following the contents of the "Whole Field Chapter" in the booklet left by Sun Xiangfu, striving for perfection and asking the farmers to reorganize the fields, but she hasn't gotten up yet, so she can't hear Sun Xiangfu's words praised.

"Master Shangshu, that girl Wu Meiniang has tormented the farmers in the village so much this time, she insisted that the entire paddy field is thinner than the silt in the lotus root pond. The households only planted more than 20 mu of land, if they planted [-] mu like the common people in Guanzhong, I am afraid that they will not be able to get it out in a month or two."

The muddy water in the early spring was actually a little cold, but Sun Xiangfu went to the fields barefoot. Du Gou, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture who were dispatched, naturally followed. Seeing Sun Xiangfu praising each field repeatedly, Du Gou The bureau then told him about some of the conditions in the field before.

"Is the entire paddy field completed according to this standard?"

The fields inside the big embankment are like tofu blocks, very flat, without even a small soil bag. Sun Xiangfu can't see the end at a glance. The picture of the paddy fields is very similar. If the paddy fields of the entire Dayuan are finished, then it should be about [-] mu.

In other words, each of these 24 households needs to plant about [-] mu on average, and the overall area is almost equivalent to about [-] mu in later generations. This labor intensity is really not small. You must know that even in some It is also very difficult for the descendants of various machine-assisted families to cultivate intensively and plant [-] acres of rice fields.

"Yes, originally we only wanted to plant the fields in Hecun. However, the other villages heard that the harvest in the fields would increase a lot, so they all followed suit."

"Then are the rice seeds we collected from various provinces enough to plant these fields?"

"Enough, more than enough."

"Then tell the people in all villages to come to our side to pull the seedlings! Send someone over to guide you on the method of planting."

"promise."

After looking at the field conditions, Sun Xiangfu went back to look at the soaked rice seeds again. Because the temperature was not easy to calculate, he did not do warm water to germinate. He just asked the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to soak the rice seeds by soaking in dew every day. Last night, he had seen the rice seeds that were fished out after soaking for a day. Today, they were soaked in water again during the day. After about two days, the seedlings can be planted. However, it will take until they are actually transplanted to the field for planting. At the end of the month, March in the lunar calendar, or mid-April in the Gregorian calendar, if all the seedlings can be planted, they can be harvested around July. After planting this season of early rice, you can plant another season of late rice. Anyway, the climate in the Dongting Lake area is relatively warm. , before the end of March, many people wore unlined clothes.

The rice seeds sent from various places may be a bit miscellaneous. In fact, for the first time, Sun Xiangfu did not want to grow it with a high yield, but to understand the characteristics of these rice and ensure its fertility as much as possible. , Harvest more grain seeds with full grains, so that they can be used for cross-breeding new species when planting next season.

By the time Sun Xiangfu and the others washed the mud off their bodies, it was already high in the sun. Hongmei and Chuntao helped the little ones get dressed, and the family's breakfast was also prepared. The more than 200 yuan brought by Sun Xiangfu The guards ate a large pot of rice with more than 30 officials from the Ministry of Agriculture. The father and daughter of the warriors and their entourage of more than 20 people also found an empty stove by themselves and made a simple breakfast. In the entire accommodation area, there is only one place that is relatively quiet, and that is the row of houses where the kings rest.

"Zhang Ke, what time did they get last night?"

"It's about two o'clock."

"Boil water and take a bath, can it last from dark to the second watch?"

"Uh, it's already considered good for them to sleep in the second watch. They quarreled for two or three hours just because of the quarrel."

"what's going on?"

"The big fire room has only ten large stoves for cooking big pots of rice. There are fourteen of them, and now they live in seven rooms, and there are only seven bathtubs. Grab the stove, grab the bathtub..."

"So, instead of uniting and cooperating, they are fighting each other?"

"Yes, at the very beginning, King Pu and King Shu kept persuading them. Later, when they couldn't persuade them anymore, they came up with a way to boil the water first, wash it, and leave the stove empty for the rest of the people. After King Pu, King Shu, King Qi and King Liang finished boiling the water first, took a bath and went to bed, then King Jing and King Han each had their own stoves, and they slowly subsided."

"And then, until now, they haven't gotten up yet?"

"Yes."

"Very well, then, after everyone has finished their breakfast, go and wake them up again, and tell the servants who came to wait on them that here, they are only responsible for protecting the safety of the kings, and they are not allowed to interfere in everything else. Let them solve the matter by themselves, and don't let others do it. In addition, during class, they must go to the hall to listen to the lecture."

If you want to plant more than 3 mu of land, you can't rely on Sun Xiangfu alone. He needs to teach the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture first, and then ask the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to give a lecture to all the villagers, at least let them know that what he should do next How to do it.

Soon, everyone finished their breakfast and began to gather in the living room. Sun Xiangfu began to make some work arrangements. The first step was actually to do some fattening work for the fields. The plant ashes in the garden are not good, anyway, there is still more than half a month to transplant the seedlings, and Sun Xiangfu will call everyone to use the big manure from the cesspit to drain the organic fertilizer once.

When Sun Xiangfu was explaining some things to pay attention to when he drained the manure, Zhang Ke began to call those princes who were sleeping and didn’t know the day and night to get up. The steel whistle blew directly in the rooms of the princes, and at the same time, his subordinates directly lifted the quilt on the bed.

"Look at the sun outside! After another hour of sleep, it will be noon. All the officials have gone to the hall to have a meeting and study. Let's see you..."

Zhang Ke's voice was loud and he looked fierce, which immediately shocked the princes who were still in a daze. From their point of view, Zhang Ke's anger represented Sun Zhengming's anger. , this time, the whip can't escape.

After quickly getting dressed and coming out, they realized how high the sun was now. At the same time, they also heard the sound of their stomachs gurgling. However, Zhang Ke ignored them, just like when he was training the guards. , Talked to them about the rules.

"From tomorrow onwards, you must get up to wash, cook, and eat before the hour of the hour. At the second quarter of the hour, go to the hall to listen to the lecture, and at the second quarter of the afternoon..."

It was not beyond Li Tai and Li Ke's expectations. In the future, they can only rely on themselves, from the time of waking up every morning, the time of preparing breakfast, the time of class or work in the morning, to lunch, the time of class or work in the afternoon , to dinner time, and after that, to bathing and bedtime, Sun Xiangfu had a detailed plan for everything.

Those who do not finish well will be punished accordingly. Those who have an improper attitude and resist will be served with a whip and will be reported to His Majesty. If they cannot set an example for the farmers in the world as His Majesty expects, Don't expect to leave here, it is possible to stay here and farm for a lifetime.

Then, they found that what Zhang Ke said would really be done. In the kitchen, there are no ready-to-eat meals. If they want to eat, there are some rice and noodle ingredients, but they need to cook them by themselves, and Well, they don't have time to cook at all, because Sun Xiangfu has already lectured to the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture. If they miss a class, it will not be so easy to make up for it later.

However, when they endured the hunger and came to the hall to listen to the lecture, a bad news came, because today's lecture was about Lifei, but they didn't listen to it all, so they couldn't guide the people in the villages at all. , then, they can only learn to extract organic fertilizers under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Agriculture, just like the people in other villages. In the latrine, wash the dung.

"My lord, I swear that I will not be humiliated..."

Jing Wang Li Yuanjing was the first to run out of the hall, followed by Han Wang Li Yuanchang, then Li Yuanheng, Li Yuanfang, Li Yuanli...
In a blink of an eye, only Li Tai and Li Ke left a dozen or so princes in an instant.

"If they really have the spirit of not being afraid of death, I will give them a high opinion. Everyone will divide into groups and go to the villages to mobilize the people! The matter of draining fertilizer should be done sooner rather than later. We will start digging ponds this afternoon... ·”

After a morning of teaching, Sun Xiangfu finally announced the end of get out of class, and wanted to take advantage of the gap before lunch to chat with Samurai Xun about the Overseas Exploration and Investment Company. However, there were Li Tai and Li Ke in the hall, but Helplessly watching him not leave.

"Why, aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry!"

"You don't cook when you're hungry, do you think I'll help you prepare lunch? Remember to eat well and drain the fat. It's not only dirty and smelly work, but also physical work."

Hearing this, Li Tai and Li Ke looked depressed, and hurriedly turned around and went out to the village to find the two young men who taught them to make a fire and boil water yesterday. They knew that the struggles of other kings were ineffective.

Sure enough, just after leaving the gate of the abbot, the two of them saw the princes carrying their salutes and climbing on top of some cars parked outside the wall courtyard. However, these cars had no horses at all, and they yelled for a long time , and no one cares about them.

"Li Yin, come here quickly, and brother Wei to find the young man from last night and teach us how to cook, otherwise, we will have nothing to eat for today's lunch."

Li Ke has a calm personality, but his younger brother Li Yin is just like Li You. He has a violent personality since he was a child, and he can't tolerate the slightest disobedience from others, but it has suffered a lot from the palace servants who serve by their side.

Now, Li Min, who was in a fit of anger, would not be so obedient, and shouted at his brother Li Ke, who was a compatriot, "I don't want to stay here to pick up shit, I want to go back to Chang'an, and tell my father, mother and concubine, Sun Zhengming actually For insulting my royal family and princes like this, you should be exorcised and beheaded."

Hearing this, Li Tai smiled contemptuously, "Don't be naive all of you, let me ask you, are you going back now?"

After hearing Li Tai's words, everyone looked at the guards who were not at all moved by their yelling, and finally realized the reality in front of them. Without cars and horses, even if they walked to the riverside more than ten miles away Wharf, do you want to swim back to Chang'an from the river?Everyone here obeys Sun Zhengming's orders.
