The next day, Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue got up early because they had a lot of things to do.
Now that the people in Longxing County are scrambling for spring plowing, they must also quickly ask people to plant the grain seeds they brought.
For example, crops such as rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are the easiest to increase production.
Many of these crops were secretly cultivated by Yun Ruoyue at the village of Prince Li's Mansion. After a year or two of cultivation, they grew better and better, and their yields became higher and higher.
So she brought them all to Longxing County.
However, there is a problem before them now, that is, there is not enough land for planting.
Fortunately, Yun Ruoyue had seen that although Longxing County was very poor, it was very flat and there was still a lot of uncultivated neutral land.
The soil in neutral soil is very fertile and suitable for growing food crops.
So she and Chu Xuanchen wanted to mobilize the people to reclaim wasteland and reclaim some good land to plant these crops.
As soon as the people heard that they wanted to plant these plants that could increase yields, they all went to the mountains to help open up wasteland. They were very busy and energetic.
It's a pity that everyone only worked for a few days before they stopped because they were so hungry that they fainted.
On this day, when Yun Ruoyue was discussing things with Chu Xuanchen and others in the main hall, County Magistrate Fang hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, it's bad, the people are not willing to open up wasteland!"
"What happened?" Chu Xuanchen stood up and looked at Magistrate Fang.
Magistrate Fang sighed and said: "Hey, actually it's not that the people are unwilling, but that they are too hungry. Everyone is hungry and has no food to eat, so they can't hold on and can't continue to open up wasteland!
"
Opening up wasteland requires more physical effort than ordinary planting, and ordinary planting can survive even if you are hungry.
But land reclamation is different. Land reclamation requires cutting down trees and digging that kind of hard ground, which cannot be done without strong strength.
"So that's it." Chu Xuanchen said, looking at Moli, "Moli, how much food do we have there?"
Moli said: "We don't bring much food, and we can only last for a while. And there are too many people. If we all eat together, we won't be able to eat for a few days. So, we still have to find another way.
We need to find more food to satisfy everyone’s hunger.”
"Yes, then we must quickly find a way to find food for the people." Chu Xuanchen said.
Magistrate Fang had a worried look on his face, "But Your Majesty, our resources here are poor and we can't find any food at all!"
"Are there mountains and forests here? Maybe we can go hunting in the mountains and get some food first to solve the current difficulties." Chu Xuanchen said.
"Yes, there is, but this mountain forest is not dense, and we have already killed all the prey in it! Alas!" Magistrate Fang said.
Yun Ruoyue suddenly said: "County Magistrate Fang, on the way here, we saw a lot of sea near the county town. Can we go fishing in the sea?"
"But we can, but our boats are very small and can only fish offshore and cannot reach the deep sea. We rely entirely on luck, so we can't catch any fish." Magistrate Fang said.
"Can't we use fishing nets to catch fish? Why don't you use fishing nets?" Yun Ruoyue asked.
"We also used fishing nets, but our fishing nets are made of coarse cloth and linen, which are easy to rot when soaked in water. Sometimes after a hard day's fishing, the net is broken before we catch a few fish, so we use fishing nets.
Not only will you not be able to catch many fish, but you will also lose the cost of a fishing net." Magistrate Fang said.
Yun Ruoyue nodded.
yes!
If these methods were effective, people would no longer be hungry.
In fact, she is in favor of using fishing nets for fishing, because this is the best way, but the only material used for fishing nets here is linen, which is too perishable and difficult to catch fish.
The reason why people in modern society can easily fish is because of advanced nylon materials.
With the advent of nylon, fishing nets made of nylon will be very strong and can catch a lot of fish.
But there was no nylon here, she didn't have the materials, and couldn't make it, so she had to think of another way.
As she was thinking about it, an idea suddenly came to her mind, "I know! We can fish!"
Magistrate Fang shook his head helplessly, "This fishing is more difficult. Fishing in the sea is not that easy. I tried it before and didn't catch a single fish."
Yun Ruoyue said: "Fishing at the beach requires a lot of techniques. If you just go fishing without making any preparations, you will definitely not be able to catch it. Regardless of whether you can catch it or not, let's go try it tomorrow."
"Yue'er, do you have any good fishing methods?" When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he looked at Yun Ruoyue expectantly.
He always felt that there must be a method in her smart mind.
Yun Ruoyue crossed her arms and said, "Well, I can make a special fish attractant."
"Fish attractant, what is this?" Chu Xuanchen's face was full of doubts.
Yun Ruoyue said: "Fish luring agent, as the name suggests, is a drug used to lure fish to the bait. It has a fresh taste and is very fragrant, which can attract fish to come closer. I will add this fish luring agent to the bait, and it will
By attracting fish to come here, won’t it be easy for us to fish then?”
"Yes, as long as there are fish, it will be easy. What I'm most afraid of is that the fish won't come." Chu Xuanchen said, "But Yue'er, you are really amazing. You can actually make a fish attractant."
Yun Ruoyue smiled and said: "I also learned it from books. With the fish attractant, we can not only fish, but also put the bait with the fish attractant into the fish cage and use the fish cage to catch fish.
In this way, the chance of fishing will be greatly improved."
"Okay, I believe you, then what should we do first?" Chu Xuanchen said excitedly.
"We need to make fishing rods, fishing nets, fish cages, and fish bait first. After all these are ready, we have to observe the weather. Only when the weather is good can we go fishing, otherwise it will be in vain." Yun Ruo
Moon Road.
"Okay, let's make preparations first and go fishing when the weather is good tomorrow." Chu Xuanchen said.
"Yeah, but we don't know how to make fishing gear. So, Magistrate Fang, can you find a few fishermen who can make fishing gear and ask them to help us make some fishing gear?" Yun Ruoyue said.
Magistrate Fang nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll go find it right away. I'll find all the fishermen and let everyone do it together."
After Magistrate Fang finished speaking, he hurried to find the fishermen.
After he left, Yun Ruoyue also walked into her room and started making fish attractant without stopping.
There are many materials for making fish attractants in her medical space, such as sodium glutamate, etc. She has these materials and the knowledge of making fish attractants in her mind, so she can easily make fish attractants.
Yun Ruoyue was making fish attractant in the house, while Chu Xuanchen and Magistrate Fang were watching the fishermen making fishing gear.
According to Yun Ruoyue's instructions, the fishermen made many fish pots and fishing rods. The fishing rods were also large or small, long or short according to different fish.
Finally, everyone made a lot of fishing gear. Moli and the others found a lot of corn, shrimp and other fresh bait, and Yun Ruoyue also made fish attractants.
This fish attractant was specially developed by her. She added some special drugs to it, which is more fragrant and more attractive to fish than ordinary fish attractants, and is safer and non-toxic.
After all preparations are completed, everyone waits for tomorrow to see what the weather will be like tomorrow.
