Chapter 18 Farmland Compendium
After getting this news, Wang Su seemed a little uneasy, and casually dealt with Xu Ping and Han Qi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After a short time, the other two Heavenly Sage Fifth Year Jinshi who were in the capital, Ji Ying and Ruan Yicai, came hand in hand.
After a few people saw the ceremony, Xu Ping said to Ruan Yi: "A few days ago, I heard that Tianyin was coming to Beijing, and I didn't have a chance to pick up the wind for you, so I was very upset." Meet in Zhongyi Village today, and the right should be for you to wash the ministers. ”
"Where to speak, how dare I be!"
Xu Ping said: "Alas, we were together in the same year, just call each other by words, the official title is exempted, and there is no reason to be angry." ”
Ruan Yi was offended and sat down at the bottom.
He and Xu Ping are not very familiar with each other, and they have not heard from each other for many years, so they seem a little restrained. When Shi Brown went out of Beijing, everyone's official positions were not much different, and after these, Xu Ping was already high, and others inevitably brought some awe.
Ruan Yi was recommended to the pavilion by Yan Su and Zheng Xiang because he was proficient in music and music, and at the same time participated in the reformulation of music in Taichang Temple. Music is an important part of the etiquette system, and it is also related to weights and measures, which is very demanding, and it is not just a matter of music. The ancient Chinese said that the way of heaven is constant, and this way of heaven is expressed through this set of etiquette system, which is a very sacred thing for the ruler, and it is easy to move.
Although weights and measures have been unified since Qin Shi Huang, in fact, the previous dynasties are still different, and even the various industries of the same era are also different. In terms of the degree system, the ruler of Taichang Temple and Taifu Temple is one, and the market uses another one, and the astronomical calendar used by Si Tianjian is the ancient ruler handed down from Luoyang, which is chaotic.
For the sake of business convenience, Xu Ping really wanted to unify all the weights and measures of this era, but the problem was that he knew how to set weights and measures, but he didn't know the etiquette relationship of this link, and he didn't dare to start after thinking about it for a long time.
This time, Yan Su sentenced Taichang Temple and was ordered to correct the rhythm, Xu Ping felt that it was an opportunity and wanted to unify the weights and measures of the whole country with him. In addition, Ruan Yi participated in this matter, and it was more convenient to be his own year.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Su instructed the Zhuang guests to serve wine and food, and at the same time cut and washed the watermelons and grapes brought by Xu Ping and brought them on a plate as appetizers.
Looking at the bright color and round grains of the grapes on the plate, Ji Ying said curiously: "The fruits in Yunxing Zhuangzi are really different from other places, I have eaten grapes before, but I have never seen this kind of appearance." There are no rotten fruits in this whole ear, and there are no traces of insects biting birds and pecking, how can it be done?! ”
The others were also curious, and they all looked at Xu Ping.
Xu Ping smiled: "Don't say, taste it first, this grape is sweeter than the ones on the market." It is said that the grapes in the Western Regions are the sweetest, and my family's estimates are not far behind. ”
Everyone held back their curiosity, each picked one and put it in their mouths, and nodded together: "Good, good, it's really sweet!" ”
Wang Sudao: "Yun Xing is not an official in the court, even if he goes home to take care of the fields, he is also a rich and noble person!" This kind of land method is more proficient than the old farmers who have been tending to the fields for many years! Isn't there a secret that is not told? ”
"Hey, what did Zhongyi say! Since I bought the Zhuangzi of Zhongmu and started farming, Guo Zheng, the chief secretary of Zhongmu at that time, called the people nearby to watch in my village, and when the rice was harvested, Zhang Shiheng of Kaifeng Mansion brought people to bring people again, but I didn't hide any secrets. ”
Thinking that Zhang Junping, who was in Kaifeng Mansion to control the floods, had passed away, Xu Ping felt a little sorry. If he was still there, he would have been the one who lifted the canal that led Luo into Bian. Even now, Kaifeng Prefecture can manage wasteland into fertile land on such a large scale, or rely on the grace of his ditch to the south to divert water, and the waterlogging has been greatly reduced. At that time, Guo Zheng, who was full of kindness to himself, had already taken up his post under him, and the world was changing, which made people feel emotional.
Wang Su and the others didn't have Xu Ping's sad thoughts, and asked, "What method did you use to fall down?" ”
Xu Ping pointed to the whole ear of grapes on the table and said, "Actually, it's worthless, it's just a bag on it when the fruit grows." With a bag, it is protected from insects and birds, and it is protected from wind and rain, and the fruit is so neat when it is ripe. Grape and pear, you can use this method, but no one thought of it before. ”
The technology of fruit bagging has been fully promoted in Xu Ping's previous life, of course, there are still some details that need to be paid attention to, but as long as you think of this, it is not difficult to do. This is also due to the people's pursuit of pollution-free fruits in that era, and fruit farmers quickly developed this technology to the extreme, and spraying pesticides on fruits seemed outdated.
Xu Ping dealt with this matter every day in his previous life, and it was naturally not difficult to do, and even special paper bags could be made. This technology is pushed away, and Xu Pingzhuang can still make money by selling paper bags.
Han Qi ate the grapes slowly, sighed and said: "Some people say, 'Too much can not be a literate farmer', but if you can really do this, there is only Yunxing in the Manchu Dynasty." Farming is the foundation of the world, without this ability, how can you be promoted again and again in the past ten years, and become an attendant in your twenties? ”
"Therefore, there is no fluke in the world, it's not that our own people know how hard Yun Xing is in farming, how can ordinary outsiders understand where his achievements come from."
Ji Ying sighed as much, if you want to say that he is much stronger than Xu Ping, he was favored by Wang Zeng as soon as he came out, and he took him by his side several times as a staff member. However, if you can't do such dazzling feats, what's the use of just being valued?
Xu Ping looked at a few people and couldn't help laughing: "Why did you suddenly talk about me, but I'm a little embarrassed to praise me like this." Usually when people talk about it, don't they all say that I'm weird? ”
"Don't listen to those gossip, our own people know it."
Han Qi waved his hand, he had the most contact with Xu Ping, and he knew best how Xu Ping's credit came from. When it is thrilling, it is also walking on thin ice, where is there any weird fluke. If it's like everyone else, it's weird.
Wang Su raised his glass, and everyone drank three rounds.
Xu Ping put down his wine glass and said: "Speaking of the Grange, a few days ago, I sorted out the things in my Zhuangzi in the past few years and compiled it into a book of "Farmland Compendium". How to reclaim wasteland, how to arrange ditches, how to arrange personnel, how to intercrop crops in each season, and so on, all of them are clearly listed and written down. You can help me take a look at any difficult or incomprehensible or erroneous points, and point them out so that I can correct them. This book should be easy for literate people to understand, and the most important thing is to chew the words, and it is best for the farmers in the fields to understand it. It's been a few days in the pavilion, and I haven't written an article to the imperial court, so I wrote what I am best at, and it's better than nothing. ”
Wang Sudao: "With such a good thing, we will naturally not shirk." To tell you the truth, I don't have a book like this in my village now, and how much effort can I save after I have it! ”
This is Xu Ping's farm manual for this era, as long as you follow the content in it, there will not be much deviation. In the future, if someone has money in his hand to open a farm, he just needs to buy such a book and do it. Some people have even studied this book thoroughly, and it may be possible that they will have a skill. (To be continued.) )
