Li An has n’t been to Fanchuan for a long time. A lot of Old Friend lives in the area of ​​Fanchuan. It ’s time to visit. By the way, you can also go to see the farmland there and see what happens to the wheat fields in the field. Harvesting has begun, whether it is harvested by machine or manually.

Researching the machine does not affect Li An’s outing investigation, which is also a kind of experience, which is of great benefit for improving his inspiration.

Wants to walk to walk, Li An set off with the entire group, went to the field of Fan Chuan to see the situation, and see how the old 100 people worked.

A wide avenue leads directly to Fan Chuan, which can be reached in a short time by car. Looking at the golden-yellow wheat field on the 2nd side of the road, Li An’s heart is very comfortable. This color is intoxicating, this is the harvest In the previous pass, the golden-yellow scene can only be seen in the autumn, and at this moment in Guanzhong, the harvested color can also be seen in the spring, which naturally makes people feel comfortable, and all this It is his credit, how can Li An be unhappy, this is an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

When the wheat becomes golden-yellow, it means that it can be harvested. Before harvesting, it is necessary to test it to confirm whether the wheat is really fully ripe.

After the car stopped, Li An got off the car and walked to the wheat field, picked a few ears of wheat at random, rubbed gently with his hands to extract the grains.

“Yes, yes, the grains are full, which is very good, and it’s ready to be harvested.”

Li An said to chew the freshly peeled wheat kernels in his mouth.

These grains of wheat are fully ripe, and the chewing in the mouth is quite firm. At first glance, they are completely ripe and can be harvested.

At this time, there are indeed many farmers who are harvesting wheat fields, but it is just now, so there are not many people harvesting. In a few days, the number of farmers harvesting wheat fields will increase greatly, and when the time comes, it must be busier.

Li An found a highland and looked at all around. There are not many farmers who are harvesting the wheat field. It is not clear from a distance. The nearest one is not a big one at all, because there are too few people working and the age Very mixed, both men and women, and children, this is a family of people, should be ordinary retail farmers, own their own self-cultivation fields, toss a few acres of their own land, belonging to the ordinary Farmers.

After walking past, Li An sees more clearly. There are 7 or 8 people working, an old fogey, 2 young robust men, a woman, 4 naughty children, 2 half and 2 big and still small , But can barely work.

Seeing a group of strangers approaching, this family seemed a little nervous, and looked towards Li An and the others with vigilance, and found that Li An entire group was not a bad person and became less nervous.

“Senior, what about work? This year’s harvest looks good!”

Li An stepped forward.

“Okay, the harvest is good.”

old fogey looked quite loyal, so-called honest people.

“How many acres of land at home?”

Li An continued to ask.

“Not many, there are 20 acres of dry land and 2 acres of vegetable land.”

old fogey said.

“22 mu, not bad, it should be enough for an old snack to drink.”

Li An said.

For more than 20 acres of fields, Li An feels that there are already many, but not many farmers in future generations have so many hands yet? Of course, it was a high-yield era, and the land output of Great Tang is not too much, and it is difficult to mention on equal terms with the output of later generations, but if you plant 2 season crops, more than 20 acres of land is enough to feed a whole family.

Winter wheat is grown in winter, and in the spring, drought-tolerant crops such as sweet potato and corn are planted to greatly increase production, so that the family’s food reserves are more abundant, and there is no need to worry about hunger.

“Senior, are you guys all here?”

Li An asked.

“There are 4 others at home. The family has a total of 2 people. They all counted on these 20 acres of fields. They used to be hungry. Now that they are well, they can already eat enough, and they can save some food. Now. “

old fogey grinned and said happily.

“After harvesting the wheat, what crop are you going to plant next?”

Li An asked.

The old fogey replied: “I’m going to plant ten acres of corn, but the rest is not planned yet? Go back and discuss with your neighbors.”

“Haha! This is all plowing right away, and I haven’t figured out what to plant yet? It’s time to hurry! It’s a season missed.”

Li An said with a smile.

The robust man next to him said: “Father didn’t think about it, he didn’t plan to grow all the grain. Now the price of grain is not high, and the extra grain can’t earn a few dollars. Father is planning to make a variety of green vegetables that can make money. I do n’t understand the market. I ’m worried that after planting, I might as well sell extra food to make more money.

Li An understands that the family of feelings is planning to grow some cash crops, so that they can sell more money, anyway, they can’t eat all the food, it is better to plant some valuable cash crops, so that they can earn more money, It ’s just that I ’ve never planted cash crops on a large scale, so I ’m a little bit confused. Once 10000 is messed up, it will be troublesome.

For large-scale cultivation of food that is easy to survive, farmers are more experienced, but for the cultivation of a large number of cash crops, farmers have no bottom of heart. It is not a big deal to usually grow green vegetables. If it is not sold in a short period of time, it will bring huge losses to itself. The food can be stored for a long time, but the vegetables are kept fresh. When the green vegetables on several acres of land mature at the same time, they cannot be sold in time. , This loss is not great.

In addition, the life force of the food is relatively strong, and it is relatively easy to take care of, but the green vegetables are relatively delicate, and there are many harmic insects. It takes a lot of manpower to care and harvest, and planting 2 3 acres of green vegetables can deal with it. Growing green vegetables on a large scale, whether a person’s labor is enough is a question.

When planting food before, there were only a few days of busy farming in a year, but once the cash crops were planted, all the time might have been spent on it. Even so, it is very likely that you will not be busy, and because of the busyness In the future, will the damage caused be great? What if 10000 encounters a natural disaster?

All farmers know that the drought resistance of corn and other crops is very strong. Even if it does not rain for a long time, it is not easy to dry, but the vegetables are different. If it does not rain for a long time, these hard-worked vegetables It is very likely to die alive, and the cultivated land owned by this Old Man is dry land that can not be directly irrigated. If you want to water the vegetables, you can only work hard to hit the river in the distance Water, but a large area of ​​vegetables lacks water, and the demand for water is very large. Whether such a bucket of water can afford it, and whether the human body can bear it, these all are unknown, before this Old Man family I have served 2 acres of vegetable land close to my home, which also consumes a lot of energy, and if the ten acres of dry land in the distance are also converted into vegetable fields, this pressure is indeed not small. This makes this Old Man family In a dilemma.

They did not come up with a plan to grow cash crops in dry land on a large scale. This was inspired by people in the same village. Last year, they were a person farmers in their village, and they changed half of their farmland into cash crops. As a result, this family has made a lot of money using this cash crop, and this has made many people quite greedy, feel that they can also! Since others can make money, why can’t they? Even This Old Man’s family of honest and timid is also tempted. I feel I can try it, but I am still weighing how much labor my family can withstand.

In addition to planting cash crops, the two sons of This Old Man originally had another idea, that is, to sell all 2 acres of dry land to large households, and use the money to sell land to find a workshop in Beijing. This may make more money than farming. There are many people in the village who sell land to work, and they all live very well.

It was only when they put forward this proposal that they were immediately opposed by This Old Man. The farmer who planted land for a lifetime, stubbornly believed that only relying on the land to make a living is a long-term plan and the most correct. Those selling People who have entered the workshop have made more money for the time being, but they have forgotten the fundamentals. Once the workshop does not want them, they have no retreat. They want to come back to farm and have no land to grow, only for others. As a tenant farmer, the tenant farmer’s days are much worse than self-cultivation, simply is not a grade.

This This Old Man is like the stubborn parents of later generations. In their eyes, only the stable job of the iron rice bowl is the best. Any other job is not doing business. Even if you earn more money, it also belongs to the category of doing business. , Think about how terrifying this kind of thinking is, and in the era of Great Tang, many farmers are like this, they just think that land is the most important, even many officials with outstanding ability will have the same view, so, When they flew to Huang Tengda, the first thing they did was to acquire the land, first to buy themselves a few 10000 acres of land, and then even if their family died after they died, they still had at least a good farmland, enough for their future generations.

Land is the most important asset of ancient farming nations. Almost everyone has an unusual obsession with land, so that it has developed into a blind stage, has a blind pursuit of land, and regards land as the most important asset.

Of course, there are also some old 100 surnames who are more active in thinking. They think the land is not at all as important as imagined. Since entering the workshop can earn more money and have better development, then why not keep the land firmly, It is also good to sell the land to large households. It is enough to leave a few acres of vegetable land and ration land.

The people who can think about it are visionary and relatively young, and the elderly still value the land more because their life experience tells them that the land is more important. How tragic, therefore, this near-crazy point of view is formed.

People in different eras have different pursuits. Everyone in ancient times had an almost obsessed pursuit of cultivated land. In the society of later generations, the old 100 people have long abandoned the cultivated land, even if they have land in their families There are many people who let the cultivated land grow weeds without asking, and later on, because of the continuous increase in housing prices, many people have an unusual obsession with the house. Everyone worked hard to buy the house, or even bought it in one breath. There are a few hundred sets of people, which is different from the ancient 100 people who are obsessed with the land.

In front of This Old Man’s excessive obsession with land, Li An thought of the obsession of the old 100 surnames with houses. Of course, at this time, the Beijing aristocracy was also very obsessed with real estate. A surprising obsession.

“Senior, never thought of selling the fields and taking my son to the workshop to make a living? The workshop now makes more money than farming, and even if it is changed to green vegetables, it will not make more money in the workshop.”

Li An said.

This Old Man’s disapproval of his face shook his head again and again: “It is impossible to sell land. How can the land passed down from Old Ancestor be sold casually? It is absolutely impossible to sell. When I couldn’t eat, I was about to starve to death. There is no idea to sell land, workshops, not reliable, not reliable. “

It can be seen that This Old Man is determined to be reluctant to abandon agriculture and work, which is no wonder. In the ancient society, the status of the society was emphasized. The agriculture, industry and commerce, and agriculture ranked second to the ruling class before industry. The second place is to let a peasant engage in Ranked Third’s industry. How can this be done? Their hearts are against it, especially those with serious traditional ideas.

“Not reliable? Why does Senior feel that the workshop is not reliable? There are more and more workshops in Great Tang, and there will be more in the future. The development of workshops is very good. Why does Senior feel unreliable? “

Li An asked.

This Old Man laughed at Hehe, and answered Li An with his own understanding: “The machines built by the workshop will be finished sooner or later, and when there is no work, those who are working will not be able to live. As a tenant farmer for large landed households, most of the hard work of the year will pay rent to Chengdu, and there is no way to live. It is really impossible to live. “

Having said a serious look towards Li An, he was very satisfied with his vision and foresight. He felt that he and his children were reliable farmers, and they would never be hungry, and those who went to the workshop, He is taking risks and making a bet on his future survival.

Li An laughed. Li An felt naturally ridiculous about This Old Man’s point of view. How could the workshop be finished? That can never be done. For example, the harvester ca n’t be done for another 1000 years, and no matter how good the maintenance of any harvester is, it ’s impossible for 1000 years of continuous use. The work of the workshop will always be done. Endless, and, there will be more and more workshops popping up like mushrooms, and more and more machines will be waiting for the workshop to manufacture. In the future, Great Tang is bound to be an industrialized society .
