Is this a godsend?

Well, you ask, does bamboo also have yields?Of course, bamboo is the largest and longest-lived rice, lol, but it only bears seeds when it dies. Bamboo rice is really edible, just like grains.

[In other words, have the druids ever thought of combining bamboo and rice into one, so that the rice can spread and reproduce through the root system? 】

However, this secret is probably only known by Zi Shou in this era. He is considering whether to go to the area where bamboo grows and do something, such as killing all the bamboo forests in the south?Then force the output of bamboo and rice, and fish out of the lake at one time.

As for the method, of course, it is to catch bamboo rats to breed, and then put them in with all their brains. This thing eats bamboo roots, and it will soon clear up a large bamboo forest, and then produce seeds, cut down dead bamboo, hunt bamboo rats, and squeeze out the value. A large amount of food can be obtained in a short period of time. Of course, replanting in the future will really kill people.

Therefore, Zishou is just thinking about it. After all, people in this era have probably never seen such a spectacle of bamboo blooming. After all, it requires the death of bamboo on a large scale, but when the bamboo is dying on a large scale, the south The people who are dying are almost dying in pieces, who cares whether they bloom or not when they are dying!

"In these days, as long as there is a skill, any waste can beg for food from humans. Look at those disabled peas and these rice that can't survive a day in the wild. The existence of humans is really their savior. .”

"Can you make your words clearer?" Xiao Lian said with a smile.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just feeling the domestication of agricultural crops. Did humans domesticate crops, or did crops domesticate humans?"

"So, you can make your words clearer." Xiao Lian continued to say with a smile, you complained that aliens and artifacts like yourself are the attachments of human domestication, and you can just say it if you are alone and can't survive a day Well, why do you insinuate like this?

"On the contrary, livestock are different. Look at those pigs, they will turn into wild boars within 3 years after they are released into the wild, which is faster than any other kind of livestock. However, if they are placed in a pigsty, they will not After one generation, it has become like this." Zi Shou really didn't mean anything else, he was just here to see the rice seedlings, so he got a little touched.

"By the way, are you putting fish in paddy fields for biological control?" Biological control is not impossible, but it can only be done before planting seeds. In this era, it is more feasible, because there are fields that must be left uncultivated, and chickens and ducks must be thrown away. In the deserted fields, weeds, insect eggs and even small stones can indeed be disposed of (chickens need to eat stones and gravel to aid in digestion).

It is impossible to put it in modern times. How can there be wasteland in modern times? If the fertility is not enough, just use chemical fertilizers, mulch, and clover!

"A little bit, but more importantly, when raising seedlings, by the way, fish manure can be used to supplement some fertility, and can also raise some fish and shrimp. Anyway, before the seedlings are lowered, they will drain water, dry the fields, and then replenish fertilizer." It cannot be wasted.

In this era, modern people's cognition of "luxury" is rapidly lost. No matter who encounters the situation of counting rice grains for dinner in winter, they will quickly recognize the facts and situations.

"It's not enough to raise a fish for a month"

"So I didn't put fish fry, but adult fish, so that the weeds will be eaten by the fish, and the rest will not be able to grab the shiitake mushrooms."

"Well, there seems to be no problem, but do you really know how to grow rice?"

"I don't understand, I just read the process, so I only took out a small piece of land to try." Zishou shrugged, anyway, isn't that how the agricultural technology of the past dynasties was explored?

"Are you going to write agricultural books?"

"I didn't plan, who will read it after I write it?" Zishou complained, this is different from work books, artisans can still let illiterates do it now, but after a few hundred years, most artisans will be able to read and write as a mandatory requirement, and even You need to know some arithmetic, not to mention that "Building French" is mainly about palace buildings, and it is a technical book for officials and official workshops. These people naturally understand characters and arithmetic.

But what about agricultural books?Do you show this to old farmers or agricultural bureaucrats?Have you ever seen agricultural bureaucrats, except for a few strange species that can be included in the history books, who really went to the fields to teach old farmers how to farm?What about modern agricultural technicians?

The Yuan Dynasty distributed agricultural books for free, and there were special personnel who went to promote them, but nothing changed. Of course, it is true that it will be very helpful for future generations to study ancient agriculture and hydrology, and it is also true for small-scale production, as well as small and medium-sized landlords. It was a lot of help, but that was the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and now it is the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, so writing agricultural books is pure nonsense.

After staying in the Song and Yuan Dynasties and the south was developed, then you still need to teach?Those who can't learn will starve to death in the long river of history.

"Then you have nothing else to do?"

"Yes, that's why I asked Ji Tang to keep an eye on the records. Thank God, Ji Chang has a good tutor. She can read and do math." Oh my god, there are only three people in the entire harem who can read and understand math. Su Bin took her with her, but Su Bin is also very busy, so she is mainly responsible for the daily records, I can't squat in the field every day."

Because there are government affairs, in addition to government affairs, there are also spring seedling hunting and exercises. In addition, after the end of spring plowing and planting, warriors will also start training.

This is not a waste of time for farming, but it is a time when there is no harvest. If you don’t hunt, you really can’t live until the summer harvest. In order to reduce the loss, the retainers and warriors can only eat the big households of the master’s family, and the master’s family must also ensure that their subordinates The thugs will not be hungry and skinny when the battle starts, and they will be happy to provide meals and organize them to perform martial arts training.

Anyway, the prey you hunt at this moment can’t be eaten up and there is not so much salt to pickle it. It’s better to fatten up the soldiers and exercise them to build muscles, so that when they really run out of food, they can ask their neighbors to “borrow [-] million points” shortage of food.

It takes about 20 more days for the seedlings to be transplanted, but it only takes about 7 o'clock for the seedlings to emerge. For Ji Tang, who is basically not assigned any job, it is still very interesting to watch these seedlings in the greenhouse.

The verdant seedlings were in the wooden tray like short hairs, but Zi couldn't bear her to touch these seedlings casually, and if she found any problems, she would come to him again.

However, the daily records need to be done and sorted out, and these boring tasks are left to Ji Tang. Anyway, she has nothing to do in her free time, and no one dares to let her get involved in military affairs. It seems like a good idea to come and watch the seedlings .

Anyway, it is such a small piece of land, if it is damaged, it will be damaged, and Zishou also knows that this kind of experiment will not have good results in the early stage, and there will be ridicule and incomprehension, especially if it is accidentally destroyed. In this era, the crime of abandoning agriculture is not a small one.

The king of Shang may not be able to carry it on his back, but his concubine Ji just got ready. People would not demand to kill the demon girl. Harsh, because there seems to be nothing wrong with women not knowing how to farm.

The so-called, you take the blame, and I take the benefits. Besides, with the king of Shang's madness, no one will ask to kill the demon girl, because everyone generally thinks that Ji Tang is most likely to bring him down. Of course, even so, Ji Chang still has to bear half of the scapegoat.

However, Zishou didn't seem to think about a problem, what should I do?

It is natural that it can be used for promotion. Anyway, they are serfs, so they can plant whatever they want. Anyway, seeing that the harvest is good, other people will naturally follow suit.

This year hair farming books are useless, nobles don’t know how to read them, peasants can’t read them, serfs don’t need to read them, anyway, what does the harvest have to do with slaves?In contrast, the serfs were more concerned about the improved tools of the king of Shang, because they could work less.

Of course, Zishou told his official slaves clearly about the relationship between the harvest and them, especially after these slaves accidentally failed a round of harvest, he told all the serfs very seriously that because of the reduction in production, so Everyone's food is halved or slaughtered one-tenth of the people on the basis of the basic needs.

Since then, their enthusiasm for farming the king's land has been very high. Although they still cannot reach the level of self-cultivating farmers, they can at least fulfill the orders issued by the king of Shang with quality and quantity.

Because of the production capacity, it is impossible for everyone to have enough to eat under such circumstances, so after the harvest, Zishou didn't give them any high treatment-it really couldn't afford it-but let them eat two more meals to barely fill up It's okay to have a little food right as a reward.

Agricultural books are useless these days, and it is useless to keep this agricultural book for future generations, because you have learned everything you need to learn, and you don’t need agriculture to rely on archaeology. Tang said it was not useless.

In the case of agricultural reforms that often last for hundreds of years, it is almost difficult to find out who was the first to discover it, and others followed suit. If you find the person who wrote such an agricultural record and technical record, then the entire improvement process, Hundreds of years of achievements will be attributed to one person.

Just like Shennong, the accumulation of pharmacy was not completed by one Shennong, but by countless members of the Shennong clan, relying on their own talents, physique and attempts to sum it up bit by bit. However, only one Shennong entered the temple in the end, that's it reason.

It's just that the current Ji Tang and the future Mrs. Tang have never thought about the fact that she can still enter the temple. She simply can't find anything to do, and she is just observing and summarizing as if she were keeping a plant observation diary.

And most of the content is still dictated by Zishou, and she is responsible for recording. After all, many things in agriculture and industrial technology cannot be recorded while doing it. It is more convenient to have someone who follows the record.

At the same time, in the school grounds, warriors are practicing martial arts, mainly in three categories, long weapons, short weapons, and bows and arrows. Among them, long weapons are used on chariots, and short weapons are used when chariots are blocked and attacking the city. Bow and arrow is a compulsory course.

In fact, there is no way to practice martial arts like this, and only Zishou and Xiaolian need to practice swordsmanship. Of course, those nobles also need it. The reason is that for them, those who die on the battlefield The probability is far lower than the probability of being killed in a one-on-one duel with an assassin, so they need to learn swordsmanship.

In addition, the gentry need to learn swordsmanship, because they also need swordsmanship to defend themselves when traveling around. Long weapons are really a bit difficult for them without chariots to carry, and bows and arrows are useless if they run out of arrows.

What, you say that you can use the arrow after pulling it out, then you must have played too many games. The reality is that when the arrow is shot out, it is almost the same as being useless, unless it is inserted into soft soil or between grass targets. On things like this, once it hits a stone, tree, etc., the shaft of the arrow will either collapse on the spot or leave a crack. When it is fired for the second time, the arrow will explode directly in the hand.

Besides, there is no contradiction between bows and short weapons, and archers are all masters in melee combat~laugh.Well, in fact, another use of learning short weapons is to attack cities first. These days, only nobles who have armor can do the work of first ascending, and they can use things like swordsmanship.

The samurai here practice long weapons with just a few back and forth movements. It is not so much a practice of martial arts, but rather a practice of reaction speed and physical fitness, while short weapons are more ornamental. As for bows and arrows, they are basic training.It wasn't until they started to enter the array training that the viewing pleasure reached its maximum.

Zishou put away his sword, Xiao Lian on the opposite side also dispersed his lightsaber, and then looked at the warriors in the school field. They had formed two queues of about 20 people. Both teams had wooden shields covered with leather. A wooden stick wrapped in thick animal hide in one hand.

"Huha!" One of the teams began to form a triangular formation, covered their heads and faces with their shields and rushed towards the other horizontal formation. The two teams collided fiercely, and there was a muffled sound between wood and wood, and then the stick came into contact with the human body. sound.

Although they are covered with thick animal skins, these fierce men still hurt terribly through the armor when they are hit with a stick. As for the reason why the head and face are covered instead of the torso, Zi Shou knows, because in this day and age, leather armor and leather armor covered with wood It's still relatively easy to get, but the helmet is really difficult.

Moreover, compared to soft bronze swords that are not very lethal, bronze daggers can be pecked directly from your head, and it is more difficult to cut open the top of the sky. Therefore, warrior shields these days mainly defend the head and face, while weapons block those coming from the body. arms.

As for the training of Chinese soldiers, it is more like fighting with elementary school students. The two sides hold long wooden poles wrapped in animal skins and fight with square wooden shields at a distance of about 1 meters. Anyway, Zishou didn’t see any tricks, maybe because of himself Don't know martial arts?

[PS]

History and Folklore of Magical Burst:

Madam Tong:

Sacrifice temples are mostly found in the Jianghuai area. According to legend, the method of raising seedlings from watching weeds and raising seedlings in the house took several years to complete, which greatly developed the planting and cultivation of rice, and laid the foundation for agricultural production in the southern region. The three dynasties of Zhou, Qin, and Han played a great role in promoting and promoting the development of the Jiangnan area.

The Temple of Mrs. Tang is also called "Miao Temple" or "Qingwu Temple" because of the reason why the "Qingwu" got seedlings. It is also called "Miaofu" or "Qingfei". It is also said that the Qing Emperor's concubine, etc., is a relatively rare female agricultural god.

However, the widely circulated legend is that Gantang Huaren, after uniting with the King of Shang, lived in the green house in Lutai, watched the barnyard grass in the fields and realized the method of raising seedlings.

Farmers usually offer sacrifices in the spring to protect the young crops from growing strong and free from disease, and a Gantang tree is often planted in the temple as a tree to teach people, and relevant records are also left in the Book of Songs.

However, researchers of all dynasties have been very curious about why there are few records and beliefs in the Guanzhong area where Mrs. Tang was born. They think that it may be related to the fact that rice is hardly grown in Guanzhong.

Later, in the excavation of the Lutai ruins, some fragments of "Yin Yuan Nong Jing" and signed wood chips were found, which proved that its prototype was indeed Jitang, the wife and concubine of King Shang, the daughter of Uncle Zhou.

However, it is a great pity that this oldest agricultural classic in our country has not been preserved completely, and only a few fragments are left.

Chapter 61 Golden Harvest

Hybrid rice is a technology that can be developed in the Shang Dynasty, but it is useless. The difficulty of this technology lies in operation and theory, especially in theory, because the hybridization of the maintainer line and the sterile line is carried out, and then the new sterile line and the restorer line are hybridized. Obtaining fertile and high-yielding rice seeds is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Without the theoretical support of modern genetics, the ancients could not recognize things like recessive genes at all. They would only use high-yield rice and high-yield rice to hybridize, and would not think of such a strange way of hybridization.

Secondly, in terms of operation, the theory was put forward for a long time, and it was just a conjecture that the theory was on this operation. In the end, Yuan Longping and others spent decades and finally solved this specific operation problem through wild defeat.

As for the technology, there is really no need for any black technology, even the Shang Dynasty can do it, as long as you find these three types of rice varieties, you can complete this technology.

But the problem is that although the technical threshold before Zishou is low, it is not without it. The biggest technical threshold is that he cannot distinguish the varieties of rice, but he can distinguish barnyards from rice. It is very difficult to separate seedlings from grass practice achieved.

You expect him to tell which rice is which, that's too grassy, ​​let alone he can't recognize it, go to Chudi, the envoys collected by Chudi barbarians and local barbarians can't tell the difference, they can only one by one Try it in the past, it is more difficult than drawing cards for modern people.

However, Zishou has a big advantage compared to modern people's hybrid rice, that is, the Kachi is clean enough. Simply put, many abortive rice species have become extinct in history, and you can't count on thousands of years of domestication of rice. Throughout history, farmers can recognize genetics.

They will only pull out these non-fertile or less-fertile things as diseased rice and weeds. In addition, the farmland is reclaimed, and the maintainer rice backed by two-legged beasts has invaded the past at an alarming rate. Thousands of years In the future, even the wild rice seeds of later generations may trace their ancestors back to the first few high-yielding rice varieties.

It is too difficult to find the different rice species of these three lines, because the card pool is full of R and N card pollution, and it is not even clear whether there is no SSR at all (extinct in the wild).

However, at this moment, Zishou knows that the current Kachi is very clean, and there are all kinds of weird rice seeds in the wild. It is only a matter of time to get these three lines together. No, two or three generations can try it out after all.

As for the most difficult operational and theoretical issues, there is no problem now, after all, he stands on the shoulders of his predecessors. However, this technology is useless in the Shang Dynasty, unless it is used to cheat people.

This is also something that Zishou regrets. At present, the key to determining the yield is water and fertilizer. Even the temperature is temporarily ignored, and it can't be solved. As for the rice seeds, it is even in the back row. As for the reason, it is very simple.

Without chemical fertilizers, hybrid rice can achieve extremely high yields in the first two years, and then your land will be abandoned, and with the current technical means, the kind that cannot be saved will be completely abandoned, so you can only give up and abandon it. A few years, and then reopen the wasteland, start all over again.

However, in any case, the densely planted seedlings screened by Zishou's salt water are still very vigorous. The plate of seedlings is like a grassland growing indoors, and it is almost time to prepare for watering and transplanting.

Zishou is still very confident about the yield, especially after he knew the yield of the rice planted by the Huaiyi people in the southeast of Yufang next door. Their yield is astonishing - thirty kilograms, one Acres of land!

In the Han Dynasty, after the improvement of improved seed, water conservancy, and field turning technology, it was able to double the shocking rate of "high yield" of 150 kilograms per mu of land. It was necessary to rotate beans to maintain water and fertilizer. We know what kind of scene is the field that has been "damaged" several times by the extensive farming that can harvest more than [-] kilograms of hybrid rice.

How thick is this extensive planting?The planting plan of those subsidized farmers that Yi Zishou saw in modern times is that the purchased seedlings are directly standing on the ridge of the field and randomly throwing them in, and then go to carefully serve their cash crops after throwing them away. Big head of money.

Then when threshing millet, the output of one mu of land was about 300 to 400 catties. Then he thought it was nothing at the time, and asked the old farmer, the harvest was probably equal to the cost when sold, and the real income All rely on staple food subsidies.

However, in this era, after seeing the "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young" with an average yield of 70 to 100 catties per mu, he finally understood how exaggerated and grassy the output of modern agriculture is. About 100 catties of millet, they dare to have 600 catties per mu of land so outrageous.

Then I also understand that even modern people who have seen farming in their hometown think that five acres of land can support a large family, because it is really possible, and it is more than enough for food and clothing.

Also, why do modern old farmers point to planting 1 and harvest 300 and say that this year’s harvest will be zero, because according to this harvest, it is indeed a zero harvest, because according to the purchase price of grain, it can be sold for less than 400 yuan, and the cost of planting land is at least 550~[-] yuan It's a total loss.

[One acre of land needs about 6~7 catties of seeds, 1:30, 180 catties to 200 catties of harvest, the purchase price is less than 2 yuan, and then the seeds cost 75 yuan, the fertilizer costs 220 yuan, and the pumping costs 150 yuan. It’s absolutely impossible to lose your pants 】

But now, if Zishou can harvest [-] per plant, he will dare to hammer Xiqi into [-] next year, which means that after promotion and full planting, next year's grain production will directly double or so, that is You can really press the Xiqi hammer, build Hangu Pass, block the door and throw meat and bones... Oh, this is too expensive, throw rice bran to humiliate the other party.

However, for this pile of high-grade dogtail grass, Zishou feels that it would be ideal to harvest about 1 per plant. After all, rice has more seeds than wheat.

After the seedling raising is completed, the next step is to transplant the seedlings. Behind them are attendants carrying seedling trays, and in front of them is the rippling paddy field. The shiitake mushrooms have been pulled out and moved to the edge of ponds and ditches. This is an edible weed. Effectively prevent wild animals from destroying young crops and weeds to grab positions.

However, Zishou realized a very serious problem. When everyone only knew how to sow seeds, including the barbarians in the south, who would transplant rice seedlings?

He can't either, and the rice seedlings of this era are obviously not as powerful as those of later generations. Standing on the shore and throwing them in, they can still take root by themselves, instead of dying for you to see.

"Pull the rope, I'm trying to plant rice seedlings, look carefully, and study hard." So Shang Wang bit the bullet, wearing shorts for martial arts training, went into the water, tried hard to insert the seedlings in a straight line along the straightened rope, and kept a moderately dense planting. density.

After working for a long time, finally, after planting a row, Xiao Lian called out, "My mother...?" Press it into the paddy field and drink to your fullness, it must be the kind that has just been supplemented with fertilizer and water.

Zishou's idea is that her hair is so flexible and sharp that it can be used to stand on the ridge of the field as a multi-arm rice transplanter, put down the seedlings, and poke the bugs in the soil by the way. The luxurious Plus version of slash-and-burn farming.

"Don't do it, don't do it even if you die!"

"Oh, it's up to you!" Xiao Lian turned his head and was about to run, and then he was pulled back by King Shang, forcibly controlled, and merged into one, and then a large number of seedlings were rolled up by golden threads of light, and quickly The pokes in the paddy field form a very neat structure.

Then because the fusion degree was too low, I forcibly broke away, and then, the black blade poked into the ground, and I couldn't scream, "You are so stingy, you don't need to eat, but I need to eat!" Zi Shou complained, and then I don't care, anyway, it's just like having a temper for two days.

Although the memory of Xiaolian is very good, but also because of this, a lot of messy information will be memorized. After a long time, the proportion of old memories in the total will drop rapidly.To put it bluntly, the average time this guy is angry does not exceed 10 days. Zishou even secretly nicknamed her "Goldfish Ji", not only because of her blonde hair, but also because of her characteristics that are comparable to goldfish.

Although Zishou temporarily fooled the demonstration of rice transplanting, the other slaves could not fool him. In the end, the crooked clusters of seedlings in the paddy field were fooling Zishou.

Fortunately, with the vitality of foxtail grass, these seedlings still grew quite well after a few days, but they were short and thin, which did not look like a high-yield crop at first glance, and the barnyard grass grew faster than the seedlings.

In addition, Zishou's speed of identifying weeds is too slow, and other slaves can't tell the difference between seedlings and grass, so they have to contact them slowly, but those savage farmers are much more motivated, after all, they have their own private fields. Is this thing really productive?So you have to watch it carefully and study hard.

Because of the relationship between climate and water temperature, Zishou asked people to put shallow water about one knuckle height into the field every 3 to 4 days during the seedling stage, and then applied treated fertilizer and water, and then watered again after the natural dew dried, repeating until until tillering.

This is why rice planting is a standard intensive cultivation, which consumes a lot of manpower and labor. This is because there are water canals. If you don’t rely on people to carry water for irrigation, then think about it yourself, once every 3 to 4 days, basically Carrying water every day is exhausting.

Because Zishou grows standard early rice, that is, the kind that is raised in a greenhouse. In order to prevent the seedlings from becoming stiff, the irrigation water cannot be well water or river water. The river water must be introduced into the pool and let the sun warm it. poured into rice fields.

I have to say that this is really suitable for the growth of rice, but compared with the "advanced dogtail grass", the real dogtail grass and weeds grow faster, so, soon, everyone is in the field. The weeds have been pulled out, and now the weeds are also very easy to divide. Anything that grows too high is a weed!

Busy agricultural production and experiments, tillers will soon arrive in May and June, and a large amount of water will be poured into the field to meet the consumption of tillers. Zishou chooses tillers according to the standards found when playing the game. To put it simply, the main stem tillers before 16 leaves are effective tillers, because there are more than three leaves, and the probability of earing alone is higher.

At this time, start to drain water to prevent invalid tillers, that is, branch tillers that cannot develop into rice ears, and even manually cut off some invalid tillers and high tillers for you.

However, what Zishou didn’t know was that his copying method would cause big problems in the Shang Dynasty. Modern tillers can ensure that rice generally has more than 12 to 15 ears, and can allow the main stem to continue to tiller when it has 16 leaves, and even apply tillering actively. The root of fertilizer lies in the presence of chemical fertilizers.

In this way, as long as there are three groups of tiller leaves, they can photosynthesize enough nutrients to grow into spikes alone. However, the farmland of the Shang Dynasty did not have such strong fertility at all, which meant that some tillers died midway and were wasted fertilizer, or the spikes still had to be taken up. The nutrients of the main stem make the final rice knot shriveled and scarce.

However, even so, the dense rice paddy swaying in the field is pleasing to the eyes of the merchants. At least it looks healthy, and it looks like it will harvest more grain than millet.

About 20 days after drying the fields, earing and flowering begin, and then in mid-July, when other crops are harvested, it is time for the millet to mature.

"...May, the harvest is gone." Zishou scratched his head, about half of them had only one ear, and the remaining half had two ears. A few of them had three ears that were particularly capable of plundering nutrients, and each ear had at most twenty grains of millet. One or two grains, some only have eight or nine grains.

More than one-third of it is not very full, that is, the about 100 mu of Wangtian he cultivated intensively is much better. About 30% to 40% of the second ear, and about half of the third ear, each ear is stable at about [-]~[-] grains.

Isn’t it very good, then the reality is that modern rice, early rice has an average of 90~120 grains per spike, and a seedling can have up to 15 spikes. The normal harvest is more than 1 per plant, and 1100 per plant, which is a proper harvest.

However, to be serious, if Zishou really thoroughly researched this thing, and really according to the growth requirements and fertility level of rice, if the tillers are perfect, it will reach an average of 3~4 spikes, with more than 30 grains per spike, and 1 It is still possible to charge 200, but it is not easy for this kind of limit card BUG, ​​because God’s light, water temperature, and pests and diseases are a little bit sloppy, so you can send it directly.
