Chapter 690 Rural Cooperatives

@@@@@

After careful analysis by Yang Yi, it is believed that there are several reasons for the poor leaf collection effect of the leaf picker.

The first reason is that the leaves of this "Fengjie tree" have turned yellow, and it is easy to fall off when touched by external force, that is to say, the nails under the leaf picker have not passed through the leaves, and the leaves will fall off first, so it is naturally impossible to collect the leaves on the nails.

The second reason is that the leaf collector is slightly smaller, generally there is a little distance between the mulberry leaf and the branch because of the petiole, if the leaf collector is too small, when pulling down along the branch, the nail below may not pierce the leaf, so that the leaf can not stay on the leaf picker.

The third reason is that the nail underneath is slightly larger and the head is not sharp enough, which will cause the nail to tear as it passes through the blade, so that the blade will not remain on the leaf collector.

The last problem is that the nails are shorter, if the nails are too short, when a few blades are pierced, the nail body will be filled, and more leaves will be nailed into the nail body at a very shallow depth, which will also easily make the blades fall off.

These problems are not a big deal, just a slight improvement in the size of the foliator and the thickness and length of the nails.

After Yang Yi explained the reasons to the villagers of Xujia Village one by one, everyone was immediately overjoyed, although the effect just now was unsatisfactory, but it can always be used, now Yang Yi is right, and then improve the problem, can everyone be unhappy?

Although this leaf picker is only a small object, it is too important for them, and now the price of silk in the Great Song Dynasty is still rising, and there are still a lot of slopes in Xujia Village that can be used to grow mulberry;

With this leaf picker, they can increase the scale of silkworm farming by two or three times, so that the annual income can naturally increase exponentially. At that time, Yang Yike will become a living bodhisattva in their eyes.

Uncle Xu, who had a gray beard next door, ordered again. Let the two young men in the village follow Yang Yi's instructions and go to make an improved version of the leaf picker.

The new leaf picker hasn't been made yet. Xu Er's father asked people to go back to slaughter the goose again, but unfortunately the fat goose had run into the pond, and the people of the village couldn't catch one for a long time, and the goose feathers floated in the pond.

The old man next door was really unambiguous, and shouted to everyone: "Don't catch it, don't catch it, Yang Daguan is high-minded, make a leaf picker for our village to use, we can't slack off our guests." Go to my house, pull out my pig and slaughter it, and the whole village will celebrate it today, and pay tribute to Yang Daguan for a cup. ”

This old man is the oldest in the village, and everyone in the village listens to him, and the villagers happily slaughter fat pigs like the New Year.

Good guy, the big fat pig of more than 100 catties was slaughtered, and Uncle Xu didn't even frown.

Yang did the math. At present, the price of pork on the market is 80 yuan a catty, and the value of more than 100 catties of fat pigs is about 10 yuan.

As far as the average farmer is concerned, ten yuan is a lot of money. However, looking at the blue brick houses in Xujia Village, life is very good, and the ten yuan should be affordable for them.

Out of curiosity. On the way home, Yang Yi pretended to inadvertently ask about Xu Er's family: "Second Brother Xu." The villagers in Xujia Village are so straightforward, it's really rare. Every family in the village has built brick houses, and this day is prosperous, tsk, as the richest man in the village, Second Brother Xu is afraid that he will not have a lot of wealth, right? ”

"Yang Daguan smiled, how can you say so much, all my family's family business is worth more than a thousand yuan, these brick houses in the village are the bricks burned by the whole village when the farmers are slack, and the cost is smaller, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to build a brick house."

Because of the advent of the leaf picker, Yang Yi was almost worshiped as a god by the villagers of Xujia Village, let alone ask a little about his family background, I am afraid that Yang Yi asked him what posture he used last night, and Xu Er would say it in one go.

With more than 1,000 family properties, it is considered a middle-class household and close to the level of a wealthy household in the rural areas of the Gyeonggi region today.

In the past few years of reform, where the policies have been implemented in place, there have really been considerable changes in the rural areas.

Before the reform, if the rural people planted a few mulberry trees, raised more pigs, and wove two more pieces of cloth, they would be accused of being middle-class households, and middle-sized households would have to bear heavy labor, and many families would go bankrupt as a result, and suicides in order to escape labor would occur from time to time.

The rural people generally do not dare to make a living, they bask in the sun at the head of the village when they have time, catch lice, the people are poor and afraid of the rich, the fields are abandoned, and all industries are not prosperous, and the creativity of the entire rural area of the Great Song Dynasty is pressed to death, and the people's livelihood is extremely withered.

The reform in the first year of Shaosheng abolished the labor law, which was like untying the shackles around the people's necks and stimulating the people's enthusiasm and creativity to the greatest extent.

In recent years, all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty have shown explosive development, abandoned fields have been reclaimed, grain, cloth and other commodities produced in the countryside have risen in price due to the war and the expansion of the market, and the people can easily earn money and live a prosperous life.

More than 1,000 family wealth is only at the upper middle level, which is a very good family in the countryside, but if this bit of family wealth is put in the city, it is nothing;

According to the current division of the imperial court, only those who have a property of 10,000 yuan in the capital can be regarded as a middle household, that is, a well-off level.

Only those who have a fortune of two or three hundred thousand yuan can be called rich, and rich families abound in the city of Tokyo;

It is not uncommon to see millions, millions of billions of super-rich families.

If Xu Er's thousands of family fortunes are thrown into the city of Tokyo, it will not be enough for people to eat a meal.

Therefore, Xu Er's family is usually very economical, working in the field by themselves, and only hiring a short-term worker when the farm is busy.

Yang Yi said with a smile: "Second Brother Xu is also a small rich family now, why don't you buy two subordinates to wait for your parents in the hall?" Now that the Great Song Dynasty has won battles everywhere, several barbarian countries have died, and there are a large number of slaves flowing in the market, and the price is much cheaper, which makes it inconvenient for Zun's legs and feet, and the family is rich, and the second brother Xu should buy two subordinates to serve his parents. ”

Xu Er scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I mentioned this matter, but my father and mother are used to it, and they say that they are not old, so I am not allowed to buy it, and my father's order is difficult to disobey, and I can't help it." ”

"I understand, I want to come to Lingzun Lingtang to see that your third sister has not yet left the boudoir, and you want to keep the family wealth and prepare a dowry for the third sister."

The big officials laughed, this is not true, now the imperial court has regulations on the amount of dowry. A large dowry is also easy to bring disaster to the family, and everyone dare not mess around. This year, I married a daughter-in-law, and the cost was only more than 50 yuan. When my third sister leaves the boudoir, it will be enough to have a few dozen yuan of money. ”

Yang Yi was stunned, and suddenly wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, it seems that people are really inferior to ghosts, the imperial court has also promulgated regulations before, the bride price of the upper household shall not exceed how much, the middle household shall not exceed how much, and the lower household shall not be exceeded, the regulations are stipulated. But no one listened.

This time, he used Manichaeism and the Ministry Pavilion to pretend to be ghosts everywhere, it seems that the effect is really good, at least Xu Er didn't dare to hold a luxurious wedding, the more Yang Yi thought about it, the happier he became, and finally couldn't help but gesture to Xu Er, and then ran to the bamboo forest to cover his mouth and laugh.

Xu Er thought he was going to urinate, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but soon he heard a cooing sound from the other end of the bamboo forest, and felt that Yang Daguan's urine changed to stool, and he was constipated. He even cast a sympathetic look at the bamboo forest, what a good person, why is he constipated?

The pigs in the village had just been killed, and the two young men who went to the next village to remake leaf pickers also returned. This time, they didn't wait for Yang Yi to assemble it, and directly installed the blades and nails at the blacksmith shop before taking them back.

I came back all the way to find "Sister Feng" to experiment, judging from the excited expressions on the faces of the two of them. Using this improved leaf picker to peel Sister Feng's clothes must have a good effect. The two young men ran to Yang Yi and didn't say a word. With a thud, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you Yang Daguan, thank you Yang Daguan, it's done, we tried several times all the way back, and there are no leaves scattered anymore, it's very easy to use, thank you Yang Daguanren ........."

"Get up, get up, what is this ......" Damn, I haven't helped up here, but I have fallen to the ground again, even the oldest old man has to kneel down, Yang Yi hurriedly ran over to help, "I can't help it, I can't help it, everyone hurry up, this matter is just a gesture for me, you don't have to be like this." ”

"Yu Yang is a big official, but I am a great grace! Yang Daguan, please accept everyone's worship. ”

"If you don't get up again, I'll leave immediately, and you can keep this pig to eat by yourself."

"Okay, good, don't thank you, since Yang Daguan said so, let's all get up."

With the old man's words, the old and young people of Xujia Village got up one after another, and went home with a smile to get bowls and chopsticks, moved tables and stools, and the whole village gathered in front of Xu Er's courtyard and had a lively dinner;

In fact, there are more than 80 people in the whole village, and they are all uncles and brothers of the same clan, and the women don't have too many scruples, so they all come.

Everyone took turns to toast Yang Yi, and Yang Yi felt that the time was ripe to avoid drinking, so he said: "Folks, be quiet, be quiet, I have something to say." ”

As soon as her words fell, a needle drop could be heard all around, and a six- or seven-year-old little fart had just stuffed a pig's foot into his mouth, but he didn't dare to chew it, and his mouth was bulging like a big toad.

"Folks, as far as I know, you sow mulberry to delay a year of silkworm time, very uneconomical, in fact, you can use the strip, cuttings and other methods, the best is to graft mulberry seedlings, grafted mulberry trees, seedlings are large and thick, and the yield of leaves per mu is at least twice that of sprinkling seeds;

And there is another advantage of grafting mulberry seedlings, it does not miss the year, for example, Xu Erge's family will dig up the old trees in the field next year, and they can raise seedlings and graft in their yards in the spring of this year;

As long as you don't transplant and the root system of the grafted seedling is not developed, it won't grow much this year, but once you transplant it to the field next year, it will grow up quickly, and you can pick leaves in the year of transplanting, so you don't have to delay the year. ”

Now the people of the Xu family worship him as a god, and everyone believes what he says, and they ask how to graft and raise seedlings.

Yang Yi replied: "Grafting mulberry seedlings is basically the same as grafting grapes or other fruit trees, and now there are many grafted grape fruit trees around the capital, and it is very easy for you to learn.

Let me tell you, after you can skillfully graft mulberry seedlings, you can make a fortune even if you don't need to raise silkworms. Now Xujia Village has become rich by planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and the surrounding villages must want to raise silkworms, and you can set up a cooperative to specialize in grafting mulberry seedlings and selling them, and you can make a lot of profits.........

"Co-op?"

"Yes, a family's ability is limited, just like you burn bricks to build a house, the family will definitely not be able to do it, and the same is true for others, everyone can set up a cooperative, invest in shares, cultivate and graft mulberry seedlings, and then sell them in the Gyeonggi area. Of course, if you like other businesses, the family can't do it, and you can also do it through this form. ”
