I Love Farming - Chapter 41

The ditch in Northumberland was first dug around the saline-alkali land. At that time, everyone was still distrustful of the lord. It is these simple but complete drainage and drainage systems that are continuously flushed by water diversion and storage to remove salt from the soil.

Coupled with the improvement of soil structure by fertilizers, one year later, these moderate saline-alkali lands have become less than mild saline-alkali lands.

The farm officer walked back in despair, and when the serf greeted him, he had to confirm with others: “The white clay behind is originally white?”

The serf nodded weakly.

The farm official said, “Did you not go to see it? Do you know what it is like now?”

How could these high-ranking masters chat with them on weekdays, although this did not seem to be a chat, the serf whispered, “My place is not there.”

The maintenance of the ditch was also handed over to the later slaves. In the winter, who went to the white soil for nothing to see, in the spring, he began to cultivate, and he has not yet tilled the other side.

However, because of the sentence of the farm official, the serf was curious and went to see it on the white soil. It was discovered that the white soil that was originally too white to grow crops now has only a little whitening, just like those mild white soils that can also grow cabbage and oats!

By the way, when it comes to mild white land, you ca n’t see the original green fertilizer. Now you go to look at it, it has become completely normal arable land, and even a little fertile …

Like the farmer ’s first response, everyone thought it was a blessing from God and discussed it for a long time. The planting conditions for wheat are very harsh. Not only is there more land for beet planting, there is even more land for wheat planting, which is a big joy!

——It’s OK to plant some oats and cabbage, and those green manures can also be used for cattle and horse feed.

After returning, the agricultural officer thought for a long time before asking Cui Qichao in disbelief: “Master, the white clay has become farmland, will not be because of you …”

He really wanted to be grateful to the gods, but the more he thought, the more wrong he was.

The Northumberland people prayed in the church for a long time, their weeds have not disappeared, the white clay is still white clay, but after the man has dug a ditch, the white clay gradually becomes white.

Cui Qichao said lightly: “This is a very simple principle. Rinse off the white part with water.”

He did not have a saline-alkali land, otherwise he would have to explain to the agricultural officer how precious salt would be in the land.

The agricultural officer listened to it for a long time. How such an amazing thing can be explained by the master is very simple and reasonable, and it is not sacred at all.

“Oh … oh …” the farm official dumbly asked, “then … the soil is still a little pale, can the beets still be grown?”

“Yes,” Cui Qichao said firmly.

Sugar beet also belongs to saline-tolerant crops. The soil salinity in the mildly salinized land is 0.1-0.2%, and the soil salinity in the moderately salinized land is 0.4-0.6. The heavy salinized land is above 0.6. The salt tolerance of sugar beet is 0. Theoretically, it can grow normally on light to medium salinized land.

However, sugar beet has a low resistance to salinity during the seedling period. In later generations, either the mulch should be covered with mulch, or the sugar beet should be planted on normal land first, and then be transplanted to the saline-alkaline land when the resistance to salinity becomes stronger.

Do n’t even think about mulching film, and transplantation is not possible. Northumberland ’s arable land is not enough to toss, so at present, it can only be planted on arable land that has a low concentration of chloride and has a low salinity.

Of course, in the future, regardless of whether it is severe or moderate saline-alkali land has returned to normal, think about how to plant.

The agricultural officer was convinced of Cui Qichao and immediately arranged for people to learn how to grow beets.

These medieval beets are multi-grain seeds, and the growing period is longer than the single-grain seeds of later generations, which is about five months, and the conditions of water and fertilizer are higher. Northumberland has a lot of it. fertilizer.

When sowing, keep the line spacing of about 50 cm, and the plant spacing of 25 cm is enough. Before planting, let people carefully trim the ground.

In addition, in the opinion of the agricultural officer, the grape field is more important.

He cares more about the vineyard than the beet field, and often urges the serfs to arrange the vineyard. Part of the cultivated land is seeded first. When the grape branches are ready, cuttings are performed.

After fertilizing, I also sprinkled insecticide potion, and irrigated the plant with water.

Cui Qichao also demonstrated the method personally because of his enthusiasm for the grapes. In the frightened eyes of the agricultural officer, he personally inserted a ridge, and the peasants who watched were silent.

These serfs were specially chosen to take care of the vineyard. After all, grapes are different from other crops. Northumberland has never been planted at all, and it is impossible for everyone to teach it.

Who would have thought that a baron grandfather would not only have a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but would also do it. He had never taught with his mouth, even the agricultural officer thought that he only knew the theory.

But really get started, look at it, it’s ridiculous. The master was also wearing aristocratic costumes, and there was no expression on Junmei’s face, and his actions were like sharp swordsmanship that the nobles should master most …

Cui Qichao demonstrated this technology in the 21st century. But it was the first time in the Middle Ages, and God knew that he usually had to watch and talk privately for a month.

The cuttings were as if they were compared with a ruler. The two rows per ridge were inserted, and the cuttings were uniformly poured to the north at 45 °. They were also neat and tidy. Immediately after the insertion, the top buds were covered with soil.

Some action was done, fast and accurate. Standing on the ridge and looking at it, it was just a guard of honor in the cuttings-the farm officer thought of the militiamen trained by the master strangely, and no matter how the master trained this hand, he Do you have any special preferences, whether they are people or crops, they must be arranged uniformly?

The serfs’ eyes were about to stare out. If we must say that compared with the different strata, if the serfs had anything beyond the aristocracy, it must be farming.

But now, their great lord has demonstrated for himself, no, Lord Lord even planted land better than everyone!

With this accuracy, the serfs, the fathers of the serfs, the fathers of the fathers, let alone reach them, and have not even heard them. This is not a legend, it is a technology that does not exist in the legend.

——Of course, this is because medieval agriculture was too underdeveloped. Prior to that, their most advanced technology was to sow seeds in front of a woman, and bury her head in the back.

“Okay, just follow this standard.” Cui Qichao clapped his hands and said, “If you plant well, there are rewards.”

Reward is reward. The lord master adopts a completely different system from other nobles. Other nobles are drawn when you do it slowly, and he uses a reward that is done well and quickly.

Everyone swallowed, because the reward was usually food.

The only thing that makes everyone feel embarrassed is that the lord lord planted too beautifully, and they planted it next to him. It was not as neat as the lord, it was really self-defeating.

…

After Cui Qichao left, the serfs went back and raised the master to cut grapes with other people, as if to describe the miracle. There, so perfect, neat. ”

“Even the position of the top bud is exactly the same. Oh my god, how long is the hand of the master, it is different from us.”

Everyone who heard these words had a distorted face. It was an expression with complex emotions, including incredulity, doubt, whether you lost your mind, and so on.

I ’m afraid it ’s not crazy to plant the land. This kind of horse fart is also shot. The master planted the land like a miracle. It would be more realistic to say that the master rewarded you for eating white bread … Yes, it might be that these people have been rewarded with something incredible, so they are crazy.

It’s just that the madness is so consistent, and some people are skeptical. Under the repeated and exaggerated description of the grape farmers, the curiosity gradually grew, and they went to visit the grape fields one by one.

You don’t need to point out the grape growers, at first glance they recognize which ones were planted by the master!

If the master’s craftsmanship is really so superb, then the ridges and two rows are extra neat, and the same grape branches from the plant pitch to the tilt angle must be the master’s handwriting.

There is no bragging, this planting technique is really amazing, and everyone can feel scalp tingling.

At this time, re-associating the various orders and techniques about planting from the castle, it was a little thoughtful and terrifying. How old are their masters? Undoubtedly, in these farmers’ minds, such farming is simply too good.

It was only a while before someone said, “Oh my God, the last time I hosted a banquet, I didn’t actually touch the corner of my clothes, maybe I could get some good luck.”

“Yes, will it be useful if we touch the soil here?”

The superstitious people of the Middle Ages quickly discussed how to slay the master, and touched the land cultivated by the master one by one. Maybe when they returned, their farming skills could be improved and the survival rate of the crops was higher. Yields more … Suddenly found out that, speaking of it, this is what the master has achieved last year, and I can’t help but feel more confident.

…

Cui Qichao became a Koi carp in Northumberland, as if he and he had one more word to say, whoever went to the first stop could lead to an increase in production. The superstition was still passed on privately and did not come to him.

Because he is very concerned about the growth of new crops, Cui Qichao has also increased the frequency of coming to the field. Grapes, cotton, beets, including buckwheat, cucumber, etc., are inevitably unskilled for the first time.

As soon as Cui Qichao came out, he was surrounded by scorching eyes. He only thought it was simple admiration.

On this day, Cui Qichao took Xiaobai to the vineyard. The vineyard itself was a wasteland. By the woodland, he was looking at the survival of the grape branches, and suddenly heard an exclaim.

Turning around, it turned out that a pig in free range was chasing a child running towards this side. The child was five or six years old, and rushed to the vineyard.

The farmer’s face changed, and he cursed, “Where are you going? Don’t draw me over!”

The vineyard is fenced, but a number of pigs came together and must not be damaged, what to do if the grape seedlings were destroyed.

Although these pigs are small, they have fangs, and they are wild and free-range. To be honest, there have been many pigs that hurt and kill people.

In the mind of the farm official, of course, grapes are more important than the children of the serf’s family, so say so.

Cui Qichao frowned. “Where is the herdsman? You let people carry the child over.”

Listening to Cui Qichao’s words, the farm officer couldn’t help but let two serfs go over the fence, one led the pig away and the other ran with the child who was almost caught up.

Who knows that the pigs are quite clever, and they split the road in two ways, hitting the serf’s legs at once, the serf slammed down, and then quickly got up again and limped forward.

Fortunately, he was also clever. He picked up some acorns and smashed them, before the pig stopped chasing and buried his head for food.

Cui Qichao looked down and couldn’t help but look down at the cat under his feet.

noob:”……”

Although he was hit a little, the serf was not seriously injured, but he inevitably grumbled, “You child, are you going to pick up the branches in the forest? How did you get the pigs angry?”

The child was shocked and cried, “I don’t have one. I also fed a pig for acorns.”

At this time, the pig-breeding talent came late, came out of the forest, and was immediately scolded by the agricultural officer, asking him why he was away.

The herdsman is also very wronged. The herdsman and the cattle and sheep are not the same. He quickly said, “Several sows are abnormal. I am watching what is going on.”

The farm officer hummed and asked, “What the **** is going on?”

The herdsman was embarrassed. “… I haven’t seen it yet.” He didn’t dare to lie, but was afraid of being blamed, and bowed his head. “The sows have been weaned, but the boars want to climb across them. Willing to cause boars to be particularly irritable. ”

Boar irritability? No wonder then chased the child away.

This pig herd is also a profession inherited from generation to generation, but Rao is so. There are still many things that he does not understand during the pig raising process.

For example, they can master the rules of sow’s estrus, but they don’t know why it is time for the sow not to let the boar ride. They know how old sows can begin to breed, but they don’t know why many sows who give birth initially give birth to stillbirths. You know what the symptoms of sow dystocia are, but you don’t know how to deliver the sow and postpartum care.

Cui Qichao ’s understanding of animal husbandry is mostly related to his feed. In fact, he does n’t know much about postnatal care of sows, but fortunately in some places, he still knows more than the medieval people who are still superstitious. ” Go and see the abnormal sows. ”

The herdsman ran back to the woodland and led the sows over. Although the sows were weaned, they still had a certain awareness of guarding the piglets. The herdsmen held the piglets and they followed.

Cui Qichao looked, “This pig is so thin?”

The pigs of the Middle Ages were already thin enough. These sows did not have much meat on both ribs and looked nothing like pigs.

The shepherd nodded and said, “Hey, sir, this is the sow after giving birth.”

Cui Qichao: “How about its appetite?”

The shepherd said blankly: “This, this I don’t know …”

If the animals come to the ground, they will not find food for themselves. How can the herdsman one by one see how well they are eating. Besides, in this era of lack of clothing and food, he assumes that regardless of humans or animals, he will be mad when he sees food, but can he still have a bad appetite?

Cui Qichao shook his head. This breeding is too primitive and completely stocked. Although I don’t know how the sow’s appetite is, it is definitely lack of nutrition. This is the animal’s instinct. If the previous pregnancy consumed too much energy, of course, it is impossible to make yourself pregnant immediately, so even if time comes, you will not be in love. You are protecting yourself.

At this time, both the sow herself and the breeder should pay close attention to feeding it more. As long as the condition is restored, you can quickly reproduce again. The reason is very simple.

Cui Qichao groaned: “Feed some wet material.”

Pigs are not the same as cattle and sheep. Adding water to their food can promote the digestion and absorption of pigs and make them grow faster. Of course, the herdsmen did not know that their pigs were so rough that they could pick up the fruits and eat them.

The shepherd said in a guilty conscience: “Wet …”

As a herdsman, he didn’t know what the master said, could he be guilty?

“Get some eggshells, rice dumplings, and wheat bran, mash them and add as much water as possible to feed these sows.” Cui Qichao thought about it. Of all the food currently in Northumberland, these should be better absorbed by sows.

The herdsman has done this job for generations, but this is the first time to feed the pigs. Do the pigs in the East live so carefully?

He found what the master said, made crushed pig feed, mixed it with water, and put it for the pigs after a while. Those sows ate deliciously, snoring, and even the boars smelled incense. To grab feed to eat.

Xiaobai saw this scene a little anxious. It was still squatting at the feet of Cui Qichao at the beginning, but now it was several meters away. The rope was the tightest, as far as it could go.

Cui Qichao still misunderstood, dragged the rope, and whispered in the past, “Don’t be afraid, you can’t hit you.”

noob:”……”

Is it afraid of pigs? Is it a pig? ? It was Cui Qichao who took the pig out to talk about it.

After soothing Xiaobai, Cui Qichao stared at the pig and said, “You feed some feed from time to time, anyway, now there are many mules, but do n’t give too much. There are straw powder and peas, which is wheat. Bran more than half, you must add water. ”

That is, now that Northumberland has more food, you can eat oatmeal to feed pigs this way. Before leaving it, it is normal that wheat bran is mixed with wheat bran to make bread. It ’s not enough to eat peas. Of course, even now, we certainly can’t feed the beans often, but the green mandarin dumplings are enough.

However, what Cui Qichao said was to kill the herdsman, and while he wrote it down, he swept the people around him.

Oh my **** Why did the master open the secret recipe to the public? Seeing how fragrant these pigs are, you know that this recipe is no different from the recipe given by the master to the cook!

The shepherd stared at everyone with the kind of eyes that someone wanted to do with me, but did not dare to say to the master that you whisper, you can only do it.

Everyone else, including the agricultural officer, is numb. Even if Cui Qichao said that he could grow golden peas, they wouldn’t be surprised.

Seeing how hard these pigs eat, I can’t wait to plunge the whole head into a wooden barrel. Imagine that the green fat cows and sheep that were planted are also very palatable, and the masters are as good as the crops.

The herdsman thought, maybe the pig can grow to 50 catties in the future!

Cui Qichao thinks that if these pigs are properly raised, it should not be a problem to grow a few dozen pounds. Forty pounds are too pitiful, and large dogs are more than this weight.

If you have a chance in the future, you must gradually let the herdsmen stop free-ranging, which will completely prevent the pigs from rushing into and hurting people, and secondly, they will grow meat. The best thing is to be able to chop pigs. Now the fishy smell is so great that it is not delicious. It ’s okay to say that the bacon can be used for roasting suckling pigs, braised pork ears, braised pork, pork bacon, pot meat …

As a result, everyone saw the loving eyes of the master gradually distorted.

ljj platform real-time barrage:

[Every broadcast is like gambling, you do n’t know if it ’s delicious or fertilizer today]

[Gambling plus one, I’m ready to eat anyway]

[? ? I can’t believe it, Cui trained serfs! 】

[Brothers stand still! Don’t be fooled again! Maybe it ’s just a training show! 】

[Past experience tells me that I can’t be too happy, and I will definitely not be skinny because Cui Qichao made rattan. 】

[I’m not relieved at all to stop my heart]

[What is the art show? I think it ’s more like a prelude to training unified farming skills]

[Does Chinese people have this technology? 】

[Look, he grows vegetables so neatly and doesn’t run away. Those serfs will also move closer to him in the future to standardize the vegetables! 】

[What to do when I look good in the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder …]

[Let him plant, let him plant, so many grapes and beets, I see if the neighbor next to you is coming to hahahahaha]

[What are you proud of in front of you? The neighbor next door came to give you away, ah no, manpower, is it so fun? Do you still have a large area of ​​severe saline-alkali land in your Cui territory? 】

[…………]

[Anyway, I think it’s very cool, the improved saline-alkali land is very cool, and the pigs are also very cool. Seeing that Northumberland has gradually become rich and prolific, the warehouse is full, and everyone is well-clothed. 】

[The Huaxia people are undoubtedly …]

[Look at Xiaobai, love! 】

[Well, what vaguely feels like this pig’s eating is familiar …]
