As autumn harvest came, the court's work volume increased sharply during this period.
At this time, the originally impetuous atmosphere in the court would be wiped out.
Because everyone is working, no one is making trouble at this time.
Under the arrangement of Li Tai, the students of the agricultural college who were originally working temporarily in Zhengbaiqu area were arranged by Li Tai for tens of millions of Lingnan areas under Ma Zhou's reluctance to leave.
Not even Li Tai, but this time, even Fang Xuanling came out to send these students to the point where they were originally shaken, which made these students' original thoughts a little stronger.
To be honest, if it weren't for most of them being orphans, and Li Tai may no longer have them dispatched back to the north in at most three years, and I'm afraid that there are not many of these students who are willing to go to Lingnan.
However, Li Tai did not deceive them. From then on, the Agricultural College continued to send graduates to the Lingnan area every year.
At the same time, starting from three years later, I will also recall students from Lingnan area.
First, in order to strengthen exchanges and strengthen the ownership and centripetal force of Guangzhou, especially Lingnan, to the central government.
As for the second point, I will need to do too much work and will definitely need a large number of people when I go to Youzhou.
With the transfer of this group of personnel, many people have emptied their basic positions under Ma Zhou.
Although these positions are not big, and to some extent, they are even considered officials, they cherish them very much for the lower-level people.
Ma Zhou promoted some of the good-performing corvee labor. Although it took some time to get started, the overall efficiency had little impact.
However, autumn harvest is a bumper harvest for others, but for Gaoling area, which mainly grows winter wheat, it is time to prepare for winter wheat cultivation.
It must be worth mentioning that because these migrant workers will soon go back to plant in autumn, they also need to do a good job in the migration of these migrant workers.
For example, their evacuation from Gaoling and nearby will cause manpower defects in Gaoling factory.
For example, they need overloading of various means of transportation when they leave.
Even Li Tai had to take out the saved crop seeds, cultivation tools, and new cultivation knowledge.
In short, even Li Tai became busy as the autumn harvest began.
Li Tai is grateful that this is just a small place like Gaoling and surrounding areas.
If it were the whole of China, this job would be really not something that humans could do!
Of course, Ma Zhou also brought good news that the Nanbai Canal, which needs to be connected in the Zhengbai Canal renovation project, has been completed.
Because Ma Zhou also knew that the most wheat was planting in Gaoling, he mostly cultivated in late autumn and winter, so Ma Zhou concentrated on opening up the waterway of Nanbaiqu, one of the three Baiqus.
One is to catch up with Gaoling's autumn plowing this year, so that these lands can grow wheat as much as possible.
As for the second point, after opening up here, it will connect with Gaoling’s wharf, and some sampans and light boats can transport certain supplies directly to Zhengbaiqu.
Instead of having to walk from the road to land, it will be more convenient to build the next canal.
So Ma Zhou concentrated his efforts and built the canal first.
On the day of Xiutong, Li Tai invited these people to eat a water mat for a day. Even if the next day, these people would pick up the shovel to dig the canal, at least today they would let them enjoy the glory of the canal repair.
After the Nanbaiqu was built, Ma Zhou entrusted all the area to Xue Dading, and asked him to be responsible for the next Kaiken military farming.
To be honest, in ancient times, as the places where water was convenient to be fed, even the cultivated land that was originally a middle field or even the land that was lowered could slowly turn into upper fields in the natural transformation of the people.
The most typical one is the Jiangnan region. In fact, in the book "Zhou Li·Diguan", the "smudge" of Yangzhou (lower reaches of the Yangtze River) is evaluated as "lower and lower" soil, which is low-wet and barren land.
However, with the development of Jiangnan land during the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, the productivity of Jiangnan region was far greater than that of the north.
Therefore, the status of water in the cultivation process is really important.
Even if these arable land has just been reclaimed, it is not considered a land supply, but as long as you have a little further vision, basically everyone in this era knows that the acres here will soon become fatter.
However, Li Tai did not mean to plant food. The first is that as the saying goes, it is not to worry about lack of food but unevenness. He opened up a field alone and then secretly planted the food himself. This is simply unreasonable.
Moreover, the land is not fertile, so it is certain that it is a bad harvest for planting grain, so it is better to plant some crops that increase fertility first.
In addition, some weeds, straws and other things can be ground into powder and sprinkled in the soil and fermented slowly.
This batch of land is real raw land. It cannot be planted in the first year, so it must be cultivated first.
After all, it is not the third year of Zhenguan now, and every grain of rice was used to save lives.
The harvest last year was a big bumper harvest, and this year's harvest was good, and there was enough grain reserves. There was no need for Li Tai to exhaust the fertility of the land that was originally not much.
At present, it should be important to find ways to increase the current soil fertility and let the soil that is not much of it be produced.
Li Tai wrote a letter of his thoughts and sent it to Li Shimin, waiting for Li Shimin's reply.
Of course, the main body of the Zhengbaiqu project is the construction of Sanbaiqu. Now that one of them has been completed, the aristocratic families naturally hear the news and smell each one, intending to seize a piece of land first.
Especially as time slowly reached late autumn, Li Tai had no intention of growing wheat.
Those people were really anxious than Li Tai. For them, it was really distressing to see the land abandoned there in vain!
But unfortunately, Su Dingfang's military camp was stationed beside him. It would be fine if they dared to send slaves to enclose the land. The weapons in the hands of Su Dingfang's army were not for watching.
Finally, Li Shimin told Li Tai's idea about a number of aristocratic families, so that these aristocratic families could comfort them.
Because these fields are newly cultivated, Li Tai is trying to accelerate the maturity of these lands and increase the fertility of the land.
The so-called sharpening of a knife does not delay chopping wood, so they can only accept it. Of course, even if they don’t accept it, they can’t say it when facing Li Tai!
However, with the construction of Nanbaiqu, one of the three Baiqus, the imperial court's evaluation of Li Tai began to rise again.
After all, compared to whether Li Tai is the best official in the world, they don’t care. After all, all the capable officials are basically in front of the aristocratic family.
For the aristocratic family, Li Tai can bring them benefits, but it is real.
Therefore, although Li Tai's score in Rulin did not increase, his score among the aristocratic families suddenly improved a lot.
The families who invested money one by one were waiting for Li Tai to quickly build the other two canals and then prepare to divide the land!
In short, with Zheng Baiqu’s plan being successfully implemented, it seems that it has entered the stage of decomposing fruits, which makes people feel at ease. After all, nothing makes people feel more at ease than this thing.
I have to say that when people are successful and successful in the spring breeze, you will find that there are still many good people in this world!
Of course, Li Tai ignored it too much and tried to urge Ma Zhou to accelerate the promotion of the next two canals of Sanbaiqu.
Li Tai estimated that the main construction of the entire Zhengbaiqu renovation project should be completed by next summer next year.
As for all other places that want to polish them or even finish them, they may have to be delayed until the end of the year.
At the same time, the group of students sent by Li Tai also arrived in Lingnan, although in terms of time, it was already autumn.
But in fact, everyone knows this place in Guangzhou. Even in winter, the weather is still very charming.
However, these people came to Guangzhou and met Liu Shenwei who was developing new fields. It can be said that this group of people felt like they had found an organization for the first time. The moment they saw Liu Shenwei, the eyes of the group were wet.
It's right.
"Doctor Liu, this group of people said they were sent by Chang'an Agricultural Academy. They have verified the tooth card. Please help them settle down!" Cheng Zhijie sent someone to send this group of people to Liu Shenwei's residence.
Liu Shenwei was slightly stunned, then he looked happy and decisively came out.
Seeing a teenager with bright eyes and tall figure, Liu Shenwei was stunned, but immediately smiled and said:
"The guest master didn't expect that you would lead the team this time."
Master Yuan saluted Liu Shenwei and said calmly:
"The King of Yue said that the environment here is different from Chang'an. It was originally the best thing that Li Shan grew up here.
But when others are in Youzhou, I am the only one who comes here to check local information and compile a solar calendar that matches the local conditions.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to fully understand the location and cooperate with the farming season!”
"Yes!" Liu Shenwei complained when he heard this, and said, "It was originally late autumn, and it was almost winter.
But it is still quite hot here. I originally thought that I would farm wherever I went after I came from an agricultural institution.
But now the weather makes me a little confused. Is there no winter here? I’m really not used to it!”
"It seems that the calendar needs to be edited here!" Master Yuan felt that his task was quite arduous.
To be honest, why does the Chinese nation seem to be born to farm? This ability seems to be engraved in the genes? In fact, it is very important that the Chinese nation regularly updates the solar terms and seasons.
When should the gods be planted, the state formulates regulations, and then the people below cultivate according to this solar term and season.
In fact, if you don’t calculate any farming technology, this ability alone can be regarded as intensive cultivation and is also the top priority of every court in China since ancient times.
If there is an error in the solar term, then the Taishi Bureau, an originally leisurely official position, will also die.
Li Tai knew that Chang'an and Guangzhou had different climate zones. If Guangzhou was allowed to farm according to Chang'an's calendar, it would not mean that this could not be done, but that it would not be able to fully utilize the advantages of Guangzhou's farming.
Therefore, it is necessary to send someone who knows astronomy and weather and knows how to make seasons.
Even if he can't make a suitable season, at least the information he keeps collecting will be very convenient for those who take over this matter in the future.
Because such farming techniques and the choice of rice planting are important, but they are not as critical as formulating a suitable seasonal condition for the local area.
Because only by formulating this season can local people clearly know what they should do every year.
To some extent, this is the most primitive planned assignment.
It is not easy to create such a season even if it is an unofficial season.
But since Li Tai asked Master Yuan to come over, he believed that Master Yuan had the ability to accomplish this.
"This is not something that can be done now. I have arranged your semen and have a good rest first!"
Liu Shenwei said, "And you should pay attention to it in the next few days. It is most likely that you will not adapt to the environment when relaxing on the journey.
If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately, the medical camp is next to you, and I will give you a local taboo later!"
"Oh? What are the taboos here?" Master Yuan was a little surprised.
"There are many!" Liu Shenwei said, "You will know in a few days."
Liu Shenwei did not explain too much, but looking at Liu Shenwei's confident expression, Master Yuan was a little uneasy.
However, this uneasiness soon disappeared because in the next month, the people he brought with him began to get sick for no reason. Even he lay sick on the bed and became a super salted fish.
Although I don’t know if I got sick, I just couldn’t lift my body, as if today was another tired day.
But, the scorching sun makes me feel very luxurious when I want to lie in the house and sleep.
Liu Shenwei seemed to be familiar with this, so he personally cooked herbs for Master Yuan and poured them into him.
Liu Shenwei said instead of a little gloating, "I've said it, you will know it in a few days!"
"How many days will I be sick~ I can't let King Yue down, I can't let time flow like this, I want to get up and work!"
Master Yuan wanted to struggle, but was pressed back by Liu Shenwei.
"Don't force yourself. If you really die, you will be dealt with according to the plague!" Liu Shenwei said seriously.
"It's just that I'm not adapting to the local environment, don't worry too much.
There were also many diseases like you in the army, and they all recovered in the end.
It’s just that everyone has different physical constitutions and the recovery time is also different, and the longest time is only one tenth.
The group of students you brought should lie down for a few days first and drink more beans to relieve the heat."
"I feel that it's so difficult here in Lingnan!" Master Yuan did not expect that he had just come to Lingnan and was threatened by the weather.
"It's okay!" Liu Shenwei said calmly, "You've been lucky these days. It was raining a month or two before you came. The scene seemed to be like the Dragon King on the shore. Now I'm still a little scared when I think about it.
