"Growing cotton?"

"My Songjiang Mansion has been living on mulberry silkworms for generations, planting rice in the field, planting mulberry and raising silkworms in the village, and the Mojiazi mulberry fish pond is indeed deeply rooted in my heart, but if I plant cotton in the field, then what will I eat?" A Sannon shook his head resolutely.

As a farmer, it is naturally the safest to grow food in the soil, although the Mo family promotes the benefits of cotton, first, Songjiang Mansion is already the land of silkworms, and there is no urgency for cotton, and second, cotton is a new species, and the people of Songjiang Mansion naturally have resistance to it.

Mo Da patiently explained: "This old man is too worried, cotton is woven into white stacks, although not as fine as silk, but definitely better than linen quite a lot, as long as the old man will plant cotton, my Mo family will immediately buy it at a high price, and it will definitely be higher than the rice harvest of my father." ”

"As for the food problem that Lao Zhang said, Lao Zhang only needs to plant the rice introduced in Johor, and he can have two to three crops a year, so even if Lao Zhang's harvest in a year does not decrease, he can also have one more season of cotton, which is a high harvest of one more season." Mo Da persuaded him.

"The rice in Johor, please forgive my father-in-law for being stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve such a delicate crop." Samnon was unimpressed by the yield of Johor rice and stubbornly believed that the japonica rice he had cultivated for generations was the best.

Mo Da couldn't help but be silent, the scene in front of him was not unexpected, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced the same situation.

"I don't know how much the elder can harvest in a year on one acre of land?" Merton asked suddenly.

Sang Nong said proudly: "The old man is the best dealer in Fangyuan, which is enough to achieve two crops a year, and at least two and a half loads of rice per mu can be harvested. ”

The old farmer was not lying, but he was not telling the truth either, and the two-and-a-half-load harvest he spoke of was still in a good year.

Mo Da suddenly smiled and said: "In this case, the Mo family can pay the elders five quintals of rice per mu of land, and the price is to rent the elders' fields for one year to grow cotton and Johor rice, but the elders are responsible for taking care of the fields, so that the elders will not suffer a loss, if the harvest is good, there will be a bonus, I don't know what the elders think?" ”

"And such a good thing?" Sonon was surprised.

Mo Da said confidently: "If the elders don't believe it, the Mo family can pay half of the rice as a deposit first." ”

In the face of such a good thing, Sang Nong naturally will not refuse, the two signed a good document, asked Li Zheng to do a notarization, and then the matter immediately caused a sensation, more and more Sang Nong came to find the Mo University to sign the document, competing for cotton and Johor rice.

"Big brother, although your trick is good, but it is also for rice and bonuses, and it is my Mo family who loses money in the end." A Mo family disciple said with a sad face.

Mo Da shook his head and said: "Then you are wrong, what I send to the Sang Nong is their own money, if the Sang Nong changes to cotton and Johor rice, the annual income is probably exactly five quintals of rice and the bonus issued, I just give them the money and rice they should have, of course, such a trick only needs to be used once, as long as these Sang farmers know the high yield of cotton and the high yield of Johor rice, they will not need to act like this in the future." ”

The children of the Mo family couldn't help laughing, before the Mo family desperately publicized that Sannong would plant cotton and Johor rice, but no one responded, Moda just changed the way, not wasting a penny, and let these Sangnong take the initiative to plant cotton.

"It's a real gem."

The fertile land of Songjiang Province and the abundant amount of water in the city of Moda are the best places for agriculture because of the suitable climate, evergreen trees and abundant precipitation.

"It's a great place."

Mo Wu, who was far away in the land of two lakes, looked at the river in front of him, and said with palpitations, who would have imagined that the river water with such a clear and rippling green waves would contain extremely terrifying schistosomiasis.

"Doctor Mo, what's wrong?" A Jiangnan physician hurriedly asked.

"There is schistosomiasis here too! Tell to go down, and immediately put up a sign here, stating that there are schistosomes in this water, and it is strictly forbidden to enter the water and fish. Merton said solemnly.

"Yes!" Doctor Jiangnan immediately nodded in response, turned around and ordered to go down, and immediately the lieutenant began to arrange the announcement.

Looking at the calm river, Mo Wu couldn't help but sigh, along the way, they didn't know how many water sources they found containing schistosomiasis, schistosomiasis is widely distributed, and the number of infected people is simply chilling.

"Dr. Mo Wu, the medicine for big belly disease." The Jiangnan officials who had been following him said urgently in their hearts that the big belly disease was their local term for schistosomiasis, and the doctors called it Gu, but Mo Wu knew that the so-called Gu was just an invisible worm.

Mo Wu shook his head and said, "The doctor doesn't have a cure for the symptoms. ”

The Jiangnan doctor couldn't help frowning and said, "Even the Qinglong True Medicine can't do it!" ”

Hearing the name of Qinglong's true medicine, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all turned their hopeful eyes to Mo Wu.

Mo Wu shook his head and said, "Mo Mou has already used the Qinglong True Medicine on the patient as soon as he came to Jiangnan, but unfortunately no one has a curative effect.

Suddenly, everyone was disappointed, the big belly disease was a nightmare hanging over Jiangnan's head, which made people linger, but who would have thought that even the famous Qinglong True Medicine would be ineffective against it.

"Could it be that I, Jiangnan, will let this Gu disease run rampant." The Jiangnan doctor said sadly.

"No, although the doctor did not find a cure for the disease, he did find the culprit of the disease." Mo Wu changed his words.

"Seriously!" Immediately, the Jiangnan doctors were overjoyed when they heard this, if they really found the source, they only needed to cut off the source, wouldn't it mean that there was a plan to completely solve schistosomiasis.

"Please also ask Dr. Mo Wu to give advice." The Jiangnan official who accompanied him said excitedly, and he naturally thought of this method.

"That's it!" Mo Wu did not sell the guanzi, but directly from the grass, with tweezers, pinched out a small snail.

"It's a snail!" The Jiangnan doctor looked at the familiar thing in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim. You must know that the waters in the south of the Yangtze River are all over the country, and there are countless snails, if the root cause of schistosomiasis is the snails, then I am afraid that it will not be eradicated at all.

"Impossible! This official often eats snails, and he used to catch them in the water when he was a child, so how did he not get a big belly. Jiangnan officials frowned.

Mo Wu shook his head and said: "This is not a snail, but a snail, the body of the snail is small and slender, and it is very similar to the nails produced by the Mo family, so it is named a snail." ”

"That's true!" The Jiangnan doctor looked at the snail in Mo Wu's hand, and suddenly sighed, but Rao is like this, he also knows that this kind of snail is extremely widely distributed, and it may be extremely difficult to kill it.

"According to the current research of doctors, this is the only thing in the water that contains the same Gu worms as the big belly disease. In addition, wherever there is a big belly disease, there are snails infested. Mo Wu can infer that the reason why people are infected with pot-bellied disease is because of this substance, but any water where this substance is produced can be infected by humans. Mo Wu affirmed.

"After the person is infected, he will slowly lose weight in the abdomen and limbs, and at the same time excrete the Gu eggs from the feces, and then dump them into the rivers and lakes to infect more snails, so that this Gu disease will spread more and more widely, if the disease is not obvious from the pre-Qin period, and the number of people in the Tang Dynasty has surged to one million, if it is not treated, tens of millions of people in the south of the Yangtze River will face the threat of this disease." Mo Wuxin palpitated.

Jiangnan officials couldn't help but feel embarrassed, the people of Jiangnan are simple, and they do have the bad habit of pouring night incense into the river, but they did not expect that it was this behavior that caused schistosomiasis to further spread.

"When the official returned, he immediately ordered a ban on this bad habit." Jiangnan officials said firmly.

Mo Wu nodded and said: "This disease is extremely complicated, Mo gave Jiangnan three strategies to control this disease, first, all rivers and lakes with snails are forbidden to enter the water, so that as little as possible can be infected." ”

"Second, the feces of patients infected with schistosomiasis should be buried, not dumped into rivers, or dumped at will, so as not to threaten the water source."

"Third, immediately eradicate snails, whether by poison or artificially, and never allow snails to spread uncontrollably and allow schistosomiasis to spread unchecked."

Jiangnan doctor nodded heavily, he has been obsessed with practicing medicine all his life, and the most headache is probably the big belly disease, and now he finally sees the hope of a cure.

"In this way, within 20 years, Jiangnan schistosomiasis will definitely be contained, and Jiangnan Daxing will no longer have worries at that time." Mo Wu took a deep breath and said.
