Chonghua cultivates in Lishan, fishes in Leize, and makes pottery by the river.
Yu Zai plowed in Lingnan, fished in Yanze, and made plows in Nanqiu.
The same young people have different destinies, but at present, it is hard to say who is luckier. After all, the future is uncertain.
Ruan Zai pulled the plow himself, and Yu Fou left with fifty tribesmen. As the envoys went to perform sacrifices to Xunshan and Chaisang, the number of manpower here suddenly decreased a lot. According to Ruan Zai's knowledge of the astronomical climate in his previous life, It's so familiar that the Jingzhe is coming soon.
First of all, the recent thunder is getting louder and louder, and everything is about to recover. As the saying goes, before the thunder strikes, do not do business or farm.
There are strange movements in the underground cave. Occasionally, frogs that cannot recognize the time emerge from the soil. The hibernating animals are gradually recovering. As for the temperature, it seems that the climate in Lingnan is gradually becoming more humid than it was not long ago. Already.
Although the climate in this area is subtropical and there are almost no winter characteristics, the exact date of the solar term can still be judged from the moisture of the soil and the behavior of various animals.
Fortunately, the crops grown in the fields here are owned by oneself, and there is no need to deliver public grain to the "court" like in the Central Plains. This is the well field. To put it bluntly, the field in the middle of the word "well" is public land. Divide eight areas around, and eight people are responsible for it at the same time. If the planting is not good, the eight people will share the responsibility equally. When it is time to behead, beheading, and when it is time to poke chrysanthemums, it is "agricultural big pot rice".
Therefore, the well field is also jokingly called "the public land is used for dry work, and other lands are not counted."
But now, Akagata has just started to work hard, and it is too early to talk about rural system reform.
When the fields were reclaimed and cultivated, Yu Zai clearly requested that they be planted according to the "field ridge" pattern, and that they should not be planted in a mess.
It’s the so-called “crossing the path”!
"Qian" refers to the north-south road, and "Mo" refers to the east-west road, which is used as a boundary.
So don’t think that it’s very literary to use the word “Xianmo” as the name of a supporting character in a romance novel. This word is just a good name for “field ridge”! It’s a bad path in the fields!
Field ridges are the soil ridges that separate acres of land or the ridges where crops are grown in the field.
At the same time, several ditches for irrigation must be opened in the middle. Because there is a lot of rain in Lingnan, the fields can easily be flooded like the last snake attack. This is to be prevented by using ditches, although the big attacks caused by the alien beasts Water cannot be excreted much, but God's heavy rain can be excreted effectively.
The measurement method in this era still used "steps", and the unit was also "steps". However, for the convenience of calculation, Yu Zai directly applied it to later generations, using one step as four feet, which is equivalent to about 1.33 meters in later generations.
If it is a Qin ruler, one step is equal to six feet, which is 1.38 meters.
However, things like the ruler first appeared in the Shang Dynasty, the era of Shanhai, but there was no such thing!
[So, in the sixty-sixth year of Emperor Tao and Tang Dynasty in Shanhai, the Chifang clan began to make "Chi"! 】
People in the tribe also called Qin ruler Tongchi after the plan was made, and called the ruler of later generations Tian ruler. Because it can be converted into "step", it is deeply loved by everyone!
There is no need to complicate something that is originally very simple. Only when everyone agrees is it good!
Since the unit was invented, wooden rulers and stone rulers naturally came into being! Based on the wooden ruler drawn by Yu Zai during the measurement, Yu Liang was ready to mass-produce this thing!
"Compared to Zhang, Chi is a simplification of Zhang. It seems like a trivial change, but it can make many vague things clearer! This is a good thing!"
The old patriarch praised and kept working:
"It takes a season for people to miss the land, and a year for the land to make mistakes. We have finally caught up. This land has been cultivated. According to the witch's saying, planting in Jingzhe cannot be delayed."
The old patriarch was pulling the plow while talking to Yu Yu who was following him. After the plow was created, whether it was a single or double version, the young people in the tribe, especially Yu Tu,
Those who were slightly older were extremely happy.
With this thing, the speed of plowing is countless times faster than before, and compared with manual plowing, plowing obviously consumes less physical strength, so the excess physical strength can be used to plow more land, or use
On other matters.
"I rather want that rhinoceros!"
While plowing the fields, Ruzai talked with the old patriarch: "When the envoy to tell the master was leaving, he chatted with me and told me that Xunshan had recently received a gift from the Lishan clan and bought several rhinoceros.
I also got one, but it’s not a good variety. It’s said that this thing has the power to move hills!”
The old patriarch smiled and said: "Witch, are you thinking of using this rhinoceros canal to replace the cattle you mentioned before?"
Yuan Zai couldn't help laughing: "I can only think about it. It has a body like a cow and a voice like a baby's rhinoceros. Before it was domesticated by the Lishan clan, this thing was a cannibal!"
"Cow, it would be great if there was a cow. Even a substitute for the cow would be fine."
Yuzai's eyes moved involuntarily to Lamb behind him.
Today, Lamb's task has changed again. It is an extra piece of cultivated land. Instead of using a plow, the dolphin is digging the ground with its mouth in front, and Lamb is holding a mouthful of seeds in its mouth and vomiting it in the back.
The young people all said that the pig was an auspicious beast anyway, and the ground it crossed would definitely have a bumper harvest in the coming year. She also thought she could give it a try, but she didn't expect that the little fat pig's movements were very familiar. It looked like it had been in the mountains for a long time.
The act of digging tree roots.
"It's a pity that it's a sheep. If the cow is much better, why don't we follow the clan leader's suggestion last time and trade the lamb for the cow?"
Yuzai murmured in his heart that Lamb could escape on his own anyway.
However, in this era, the role of domesticated sheep is nothing more than the "milk, meat, and wool" it provides. The lamb doesn't have much hair and not much meat. As for the milk, this guy is male.
Come on, this is still the first of three goats.
Ruan Zai touched the back of his head, and Lamb suddenly trembled, as if he felt some malice. His cheeks bulged, and he shook his head from side to side, but found nothing. But in front of him, Lamb had already stuck out his buttocks, humming all the way.
Far.
"Wu, when are you going to go southwest?"
"Then we need to prepare the land first. If we get the seeds, we can sow them as soon as we get back."
The conversation continued, but on the other side, Douzi encountered some trouble.
"Boom!"
Douzi's progress was suddenly stopped, and Dangkang's two big round eyes were full of doubts and confusion.
"Hmm!"
The dolphin poked half of its head out of the soil and made a loud noise, attracting Yuzai's attention.
"What are you doing? What did you dig up?"
Ruan Zai muttered and went over, scratching the soil, and suddenly touched a large smooth bluestone.
Yu Zai suddenly became shocked.
"Didn't you dig up a heavenly monument?"
Yu Zai thought maliciously, maybe she had dug up some crappy thing like "Tiangang Stars Descend to Earth".
I don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing when big rocks appear in the fields, but if they come out of Dangkang Gong, it should be a good thing.
