Chapter 331 If this is the case, these farm tools will never leave the Peach Blossom Spring
After more than half an hour, all the people using the rice transplanters had become skilled workers.
At the end of the day, Zhang Deshui, Han Shunde and others came to inspect.
Zhang Songshu and Han Youliang's team planted rice seedlings on six acres of land.
A team of at least two people completed the task of planting rice in four acres of land.
While eating, they competed with each other, and each of them was eager to compete. They issued a challenge to Zhang Songshu and said that the official competition would begin tomorrow.
The next day, five more rice transplanters were added.
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Du Yanqing, Fatty Pang, and the middle-aged official all rolled up their trouser legs and got down from the ground.
At first, the three of them were in a panic.
Later, after I gradually adapted, my speed increased.
In one morning, three people completed the task of planting rice in one acre of paddy field.
However, the seedlings in half an acre of land were leaning all over the place and not in rows.
Zhang Deshui was so angry that he had no choice but to go to the field and replant the seedlings that he really didn't like.
Later, he resolutely stopped the three of them from going into the paddy fields, took the rice transplanters from them, and distributed them to other people.
Five days later, the task of planting rice in more than 1100 acres of paddy fields in Taohuayuan was successfully completed.
Both adults and children were exhausted and each of them was tanned.
But their spirits are getting better day by day.
In the past two days, the cafeteria has also been cooking different kinds of food for everyone.
It is necessary to ensure that everyone has a boiled egg every day.
No matter what kind of food it is, everyone can have their fill.
Xuan Shen took the people in the training camp to the mountains to hunt every day and delivered a batch of wild animals to the canteen.
Bai Houpu and his friends brought some soothing herbs, boiled some soup and both adults and children drank a bowl of it to relieve fatigue.
The guys using the rice transplanters were never able to surpass the speed of Zhang Songshu and Han Youliang's group.
The two of them completed the task of planting rice in 18 acres of paddy fields every day at their highest speed.
Han Shunde said he wanted to record this result and wait until next year to see if anyone could break the record.
After resting for two days, Li Lanzhen proposed the theory of "ecological breeding and planting" at the village committee meeting.
Everyone was confused and waited for her to explain.
The prince stared at Li Lanzhen with shining eyes as if he were staring at a gold ingot.
Su Beisheng held the brush tightly in his hand, ready to record at any time.
The three people including the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Du Yanqing also pricked up their ears, ready to listen carefully and write it down.
"We have planted rice fields now, and in half a month or so, we can plant fish fry in the fields.
About 200 fish are released per acre of land.
In this way, the fish fry will grow slowly and eliminate the flying insects and underwater insects in the rice fields.
The fish excrement nourishes the rice seedlings in the paddy fields and provides nutrients for the growth of rice.”
Zhang Deshui suddenly realized it at this moment, and he slammed the table and said.
"No wonder, Sister Lanzhen, you said that the ridges of the paddy fields should be raised by half.
At that time, I was still wondering in my mind, who would raise the ridge of a paddy field so high!
So you wanted to raise fish in it!
Also, the ditch between the two paddy fields was dug very deep and wide. Was it intended to drive all the fish in the rice fields into the ditch when drying the rice and applying fertilizer?
Great, wonderful, this is a great idea!"
After listening to Li Lanzhen and Zhang Deshui’s stories, everyone understood immediately that this is what ecological farming and cultivation are all about!
Han Shunde quickly continued what he was saying.
"Okay, then we should catch a batch of small fish fry early and raise them, and then release them into the rice fields in half a month."
Li Lanzhen saw that they all understood and were so eager to put it into practice.
He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "We can call this fish 'Rice Flower Fish'. If the experiment is successful this year and the rice flower fragrance is delicious, we can also sell the rice flower fish.
We can call Peach Blossom Spring salted fish, and then it will be called 'Peach Blossom Spring, Rice Flower Fish'."
"Ha ha ha ha."
After listening to Li Lanzhen's words, everyone burst into laughter at the same time.
Han Shunde nodded and said, "The rice has been planted. We also need to pay attention to the temperature. Rice can be planted in Taohuayuan.
The land outside the Peach Blossom Spring had just thawed and the weeds were just beginning to sprout.
We are afraid that there will be a cold snap in spring and the temperature will drop, which will catch us off guard.”
Zhang Deshui put away his smile and nodded in agreement.
"I have prepared for this in advance. If the temperature drops at night, I will quickly build braziers and start a fire around the paddy fields.
The smoke can also block or isolate the cold air from damaging the rice seedlings.”
After the village committee meeting, Li Lanzhen wanted to go back to her yard. She felt a little tired and wanted to go home and have a rest.
We entered the yard and sat under the pomegranate tree. The pomegranate flowers were in bright red bloom.
Her mood also brightened. She poured a bowl of tea, sat down and drank it slowly.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a knock on the yard door.
She was too lazy to stand up and look, so she just shouted loudly.
"Who is it? Come in."
"Auntie, I am here to bother you again."
"It's the prince. It's okay. Come in and sit down."
After the Crown Prince and Su Beisheng came in, they were followed by the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Du Yanqing.
Li Lanzhen stood up and asked them to sit down.
Su Beisheng hurriedly poured tea for the prince and Du Yanqing, and added half a bowl of water for Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen thought that he came to discuss with her about the farm tools and planting methods.
Sure enough, the prince drank half a bowl of water and said to Li Lanzhen with a smile.
"Aunt, I came here to discuss something with you."
Li Lanzhen looked at him without saying anything, and signaled him to continue speaking with her eyes.
"Aunt, can we promote the iron plowshare in the Peach Blossom Spring, the technique of raising rice seedlings first and then transplanting them, the rice transplanter, these techniques and pictures of the production of agricultural tools throughout the country?"
Li Lanzhen said without hesitation, "Of course, these are made to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, free up more labor, and make farming less difficult for the common people.
However, they were afraid that these methods and drawings would be held in the hands of certain officials in the imperial court who were blinded by greed.
Making profits from it will only increase the burden on the common people!"
The prince quickly shook his head, "Aunt, this is impossible.
The imperial court has also considered this, so now there is a solution. Do you think it is feasible?
How to make iron plowshare and rice transplanter.
The imperial court would select a group of people from each prefecture, city and county to come to Youzhou for concentrated study.
We still need to ask Li Xishui and others to come over and teach it.”
"Okay, then how do we sell these farm tools? Who will manage them? What's the price?
It would be fine if the imperial court let the Ministry of Revenue supervise this matter from top to bottom, and then the silver from the sales was directly handed over to the national treasury.
If they are taken over by certain people, I will not allow these methods to leave the Peach Blossom Spring."
