Refa is King

Chapter 1005 Breakthrough - Hen
The next day, Bao Bushu went out for a walk by himself to inspect the surrounding environment. In fact, Bao Bushu was thinking about where to open the situation as soon as possible.

Early on, many farmers were working in the surrounding farmland, and the fields were filled with rice and other crops.

But there are also large ~ large ~ pieces of barren fields.

In fact, it is not barren, but crop rotation.

Because there is no fertilizer, the yield in the field is pitifully low. Just look at the ears of rice, and you will know that there are only twenty or thirty on one ear.

And the improved varieties on the earth are several times higher than this, and their tillering ability and disease resistance are even more incomparable.

The farmland around Baobushu Manor is all Baobushu, but it is cultivated by other farmers.

"Master." Bao Bushu came to a field, and he could still see the water in the field, which proved how poor the growth of the crop was.

"Well, my surname is Bao." Bao Bushu hummed and nodded.

"Master Bao." The farmer in the field quickly bent down and said respectfully.

"Old man, I think your field is the best." Bao Bushu read it again, and the crops in the old man's field are the best.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master. The little one is a good farmer." The old man obviously enjoyed it very much.

In fact, Bao Bushu felt very uncomfortable. The old man, two young men, two women, and a half-grown boy were all buried in the field weeding, and the leaves of rice kept passing across his dark face. But no one straightened up except the old man.

Such a field is about three or four mu. In the era before herbicides came, four or five people could not clear them in a day, but with herbicides, it would take less than two hours for one person.

The most important thing is that manual weeding usually needs to be removed again in half a month, and herbicides are basically used once.

"Old man, I'm going to run a free school. Go back and let everyone know that you can come to my house in the evening." Bao Bushu didn't make any fuss. The farmers came early to weed because it was cool in the morning.

"You must bring the little one." The old man said immediately.

Bao Bushu then left.

However, Bao Bushu has not found a breakthrough, and the planting of food can only be carried out after the harvest of this season.

So there are still two months left, so it's wasted?

Deep plowing, fertilization, etc. have to wait until the grain is harvested.

"Where should we start?" Bao Bushu wondered.

As soon as the divine mind moved, his unreadable eyes looked at the low thatched huts.

Most of the common people’s houses are thatched huts, that is, thatched huts, which are less than one foot high. The walls are made of rammed earth, and some even use wood to build a frame. Put mud on the outside.

The yard is surrounded by wood, and there are chickens, ducks or children inside, and the dogs are generally kept outside.

There is a pack of dogs in the village, outsiders dare not enter the village without locals to guide them.

"Chicken, yes, let's start with the chicken." Bao Bushu's eyes lit up, and he thought of where to start.

After having a clue, Bao Bushu returned to the manor.

"What's wrong?" Bao Bushu returned to this question and asked suspiciously.

"None of us can cook." Lan Qing and Hu Yanqiu looked at Bao Bushu.

Bao Bushu is speechless, Lan Qing can cook, but he can't use the kitchen of this manor.

So Bao Bushu started to cook, and it was okay for other people not to eat, and there was no problem for ten days and a half months.

A few little ones will die, and they haven't practiced Qi yet, so they have to eat three meals a day.

"I should have brought the Blu-ray if I knew it earlier." Bao Bushu muttered to himself.

In the afternoon, Bao Bushu found that the men in the village gathered towards his door.

When Bao Bushu walked out of the gate, he saw the old man he met in the morning under the wall.

"Master Bao." The old man stood up immediately when he saw Bao Bushu.

The clothes and trousers have patches, and the feet are straw sandals, which are twisted into straw ropes with a kind of grass, and then woven thinly. The insteps are usually made of cloth strips, just like a pair of sandals.

This is good, straw sandals are soft, and some are even bare feet.

"Master Bao." All the other men shouted, but not a single woman.

"Brother." Lan Feihu brought a chair, a table, and tea from inside.

"Well, let's introduce yourselves first, we will all be neighbors from now on." Bao Bushu said.

"Master Bao, the younger one is called Zhang Dalou. These are all the same surname. This is Zhang Laoliu, this is Zhang Dasan, this is Zhang Ergou..." said the old man who was the first to speak.

"I came here because I want to run a free school. If the children in our village are willing to send them to study and write, I will not accept a copper coin. I also take care of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. How many children are there in the village?" Bushu asked.

"Master Bao, I asked just now, and there are only two." Zhang said loudly.

"Two, so few? How many eight-nine-year-old children are there in the village?" Bao Bushu asked in surprise.

"There are more than 80 in the village, maybe sixty or seventy." Zhang replied loudly, but his waist was always bent, and so were the others.

Bao Bushu understood, and said, "Come to study here. I have a few boys in my family. They are considered book boys for the time being. They have two sets of clothes a year and three meals a day. They are good at reading. City Lord's Mansion."

A half-grown child is also a laborer. He can dig wild vegetables, herd cattle, and collect firewood.

"Master, is this true?" Zhang asked excitedly.

"It's only temporary. That is to say, these children still live in their own homes. They come to eat in the morning and go home after dinner. The one who studies the best will be selected." Bao Bushu nodded and said.

"Master, there are three in my family."

"Master, there are two more in my family, and my two are very diligent..."

Dozens of men yelled ~ got up, there is no money for studying, there are three meals, and there are clothes, can you enter the government in the future?

Even doing odd jobs in the government office and emptying the toilet, it is very difficult to get in.

"Send someone over tomorrow morning." Bao Bushu nodded and said.

Baobushu’s plan is to let these children spread the word about what they want to do, because now even if Baobushu says something, these farmers won’t believe it. Tradition is not so easily accepted. broken.

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Dalou and others almost kowtowed to Bao Bushu.

"Brother." Lan Feihu didn't know what Bao Bushu was doing, but he also knew Bao Bushu was doing things, so he had better not interrupt.

"It's okay." Bao Bushu waved his hand and said.

"Oh, it's time to cook for the little ones." Bao Bushu said immediately when he saw that it was getting dark.

The next morning, Bao Bushu got up early, and it was just dawn, Bao Bushu knew there was someone at the door.

Bao Yunxiong stood at the door, looking at these ordinary people, while Zhang Dalou and others looked at Bao Yunxiong like an iron tower, and didn't dare to approach them at all.

"So many." Bao Bushu took a look, there were at least a hundred boys outside, and dozens of men, and Zhang Dalou was also in front.

But today there is another man, this man is much better dressed than Zhang Dalou.

At least the clothes look clean, and a pair of cloth shoes on the feet is much better than other straw sandals or even bare feet.

"Who is this?" Bao Bushu asked proactively.

"Master Bao, I'm Zhang Dagui, the head of the Zhang family." Zhang Dagui said, Zhang Dagui knew that there was a replacement here, and he was still a few noble people.

Before that, someone from the government came to warn him not to provoke the new owner of the manor.

In fact, in the feudal society, the power of the clan is the lowest level of the power of the entire country, unless it is near the county seat.

Otherwise, if something happens in other places, the clan power is the first place to solve the problem. It is very irrational to file a lawsuit, because it will lose face and lose a lot of money.

Although it is not necessarily the chief official who wants to accept it, the lower officials are the bigger trouble. Officials may be promoted and leave here in three to five years, but the officials will not only work for most of their lives, but these officials are also related to the local people. The country gentry can't get rid of their ties, basically they are members of a few big families, and they are not easy to provoke.

"Well, come in." Bao Bushu said.

The table is ready, the pen and ink are ready.

"Zhang Dalou, you come first." Bao Bushu said.

"Yes, master, these are my eldest grandson and second grandson. The older one is called Zhang Dagou, and the younger one is called Zhang Ershi." Zhang said loudly.

Bao Bushu nodded, and then wrote down the names of the two children.

"Zhang Dagou, Zhang Ershi, go and stand over there." Bao Bushu pointed to one side and said.

"Yes, sir." The two children's tattered clothes were patched one after another, and they were not very clean. This kind of half-sized child was just naughty, and there were everything on the clothes, and the most difficult thing to wash was Grass juice ~ liquid.

There are a total of 91 children from 67 families, half and half children stand on one side according to the order of height.

"Okay, the 91 boys who registered today will come here to have breakfast at Mao tomorrow morning, and distribute clothes by the way, Zhang Dalou, Zhang Dagui stays, and the rest can go." Bao Bushu said.

"Master." The boys were taken away by their parents, and they were very excited when they heard that there would be new clothes tomorrow. Fortunately, these middle-aged and middle-aged boys are very afraid of the elders in the family. At this time, the elders have no reason to say, and they will not speak. Slapping the stick with the truth is the truth.

Bao Bushu looked at Zhang Dalou and Zhang Dagui, and said, "I didn't expect that there would be so many children. I can't live here. I would like to invite you to build two houses over there, where there is a hillside. Is there anyone you know, or can you build it yourself? I will give you money."

"Master, I don't know how big the house you want to build, and what will you use to build it?" Zhang Dagui is no exception. After all, he, the patriarch, must know about building things in the village.

"The mountain over there is also mine. It looks like a big courtyard, with at least ten houses on the east and west sides..." Bao Bushu said.

"My lord, it will be expensive to build a brick house. At least one hundred thousand bricks are needed. In addition, wood and one hundred thousand tiles are needed, and the foundation needs to be built." Zhang Dagui heard that this is not a small project.

"No problem, go back and find someone to calculate how much it costs. I'll give you 50 taels of silver first." Bao Bushu took out a small cloth bag, which was full of broken silver.

Zhang Dagui was taken aback, weighed the cloth bag in his hand, opened it, and saw some dim silver.

"Master, leave it to me to handle what you mean?" Zhang Dagui asked.

"Leave it to the two of you. One must run outside, and the other will be in charge of the house. I just need to do it according to my requirements." Bao Bushu can use spells or other things to build a house as soon as possible, but That was horrifying.

"No problem, master, why don't we make a contract?" Zhang Dagui immediately patted his chest and said, after all, a patriarch has a lot of knowledge, and when building houses, there are craftsmen in the village.

They will definitely not find outsiders. There are still two months left before the grain harvest, so they can do it first.

Bao Bushu signed a contract with Zhang Dagui, Zhang Dalou also signed a contract, and then Zhang Dagui left.

Then I called a few little guys out, and started building a cauldron together in the yard next to me.

The little ones had never done this before. They built six big pots, and there were steamers and so on. Bao Bushu directly used his divine sense to build a shed, and the big pots were also inside the shed.

Then there is a long row of tables and stools, all of which are fixed.

Then there's the wooden bowl or something.

"It's still more convenient for spiritual thoughts." In the courtyard, if you don't pack a book, you are not afraid of being seen by others.

It was built in less than half an hour.

Then it was cooking. Bao Bushu personally brought a few little guys to cook, chop and stir-fry vegetables.

The little guys washed vegetables, washed vegetables, and chopped vegetables. They did it with great joy. The little guys had never done such a thing before.

Lan Qing and Yu Qiu watched from the side.

Lan Feihu's expression was a little grim. Seeing the little fellows cooking so many dishes and cutting them into different sizes, he didn't want to eat them.

There is no bread and books in the yard here, and a water well was dug, the kind of pressurized well that was used directly, and the soil was turned over with spiritual thoughts, and a drainage channel was built underneath.

These are all deficiencies found in the process of doing it, and the little guys are not surprised.

"Second uncle, how is it?" Qiaoqiao looked at Lan Feihu and asked.

"It's okay." What Lan Feihu said was true. Although the size of the radish was a bit strange and the meat was also a bit strange, it didn't have a strange taste.

Bao Bushu said angrily: "What do you mean it's okay, let you do it, can you do it so well?"

"Okay, what a coincidence, you did a good job." Lan Feihu was speechless, and quickly praised.

"Father, shall we cook again after we finish eating?" Qiaoqiao's clothes are all blue, this blue is that kind of dark blue, which is more resistant to dirt, as are the other little guys, and there is nothing else on her body. Just looking at the skin and tender meat, you can tell that it is a child of a rich family.

"Father, we have to do it too." Several other little guys also said quickly.

"Okay, let's go to the market tomorrow and buy some hens." Bao Bushu said.

The hen is the gap in the book that needs to be opened.
