Chapter 48 The belated golden finger
Zhang Jiao, who was riding alone, rushed to the road very quickly. In less than five days, he came from Guangzong County to Heishan Village. Seeing the tall and sturdy village walls here, even though he knew that Huo Hai had been making big moves here, he couldn't help but be surprised.
After entering the mountain village without any obstacles, he learned from Wang Dang who looked at him with admiration that Huo Hai was not in the mountain village, but went to the Zaoyandian to guide the spring plowing that was about to begin.
That’s right, the Chinese New Year is already in the first lunar month.
After having a meal of mutton dumplings with everyone, Huo Hai took everyone to do the final work of preparing the land.
Since only one snow fell throughout the winter last year, the work of land preparation in the Algae Dian area was only stopped for more than ten days during the heavy snow. With the hard work of thousands of people and over a thousand livestock for two months, more than 100,000 acres of land have been opened around the island in the middle of the lake.
Among them, more than 300 acres were on the island in the middle of the lake, with the sludge at the bottom of the lake at the algae pond. Huo Hai personally participated in the ploughing and pulverizing, and was specially used to plant the seeds he brought from later generations.
In fact, there are not many types, and they are all common farm vegetable seeds. In addition to the garlic sprouts, cabbage, cabbage, cabbage, and coriander that have been planted before, there are also tomatoes, beans, winter melons, pumpkins, cucumbers, eggplant melons, several types of peppers with different spicy qualities, sweet corn, sweet sweet potatoes, small potatoes that can only grow as big as eggs, etc. The most are rapeseed seeds.
Unfortunately, there are no seeds of staple food such as rice and wheat. Moreover, most of the seeds are specially cultivated by later generations of science and technology, so they may not be able to be kept directly. Even if the seeds are successfully retained, the yield they plant may be very limited.
For example, sweet corn and red meat and sweet sweet potatoes may be planted in a few hundred or even over a thousand kilograms this year because of the fertility in the fields. However, in the next round of planting, the corn kernels on the corn cobs may become sparse. The size of the sweet potato may be as small as an egg, and will not continue to maintain that sweetness. It is actually not much better than some staple food crops of this era. At best, its platycodon and vine leaves can be used as fuel or cattle and horse feed.
Organic small potatoes can be kept naturally, but their yield is very different from that of large potatoes. They can produce more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. If they remove water, they are actually only two or three hundred kilograms, which may be slightly higher than the yield of staple food crops in this era, but it also has a problem, which is too harmful to the ground.
In the era when no fertilizers were used to improve the land, if a crop of small potatoes had been planted, basically nothing could be planted in the next year. At least two seasons of soybeans were planted to replenish some fertility.
In addition, there are also some breeding of fruit seedlings and fruit seeds. Since Huo Hai’s family sells fruit seedlings, they naturally have some methods to cultivate seedlings. When they were studying, every winter and summer vacation, Huo Hai would help his parents and help grow seedlings in the nursery. He knew the general routine.
Therefore, there is a nursery of about 100 acres on the island in the middle of the lake. Only about 300 acres were finally used to build houses. At present, dozens of brick and tile houses have been built for Huo Hai and some smart children to live in.
When Zhang Jiao and Wang Dang came over, Huo Hai was taking someone to make a nutrition bowl, because the nursery had been covered, such as peppers, winter melons, pumpkins, beans, cucumbers, eggplant melons, etc., they could be cultivated first. In this way, when summer comes, there will be a lot of vegetables to eat.
"It's just the first month of the year, and you're starting to sow seeds?" After Zhang Jiao came over, he didn't introduce himself and asked Huo Hai, who was pedaling a nutritional bowl with a handmade bowl.
You should know that because the weather is too cold in the north, spring plowing is later than in the south, and it may not start until the snow in February.
"Who said that you can't farm in the first month of the year?" Huo Hai knew that Wang Dang was following Zhang Jiao's expression and attitude, but he didn't take it seriously.
"God." Zhang Jiao pointed at the sky with his index finger.
"The sky can't speak. It changes seasons and changes day and night because of the rotation and rotation." Huo Hai smiled.
"Revolution and rotation? In your eyes, what is this world like?" Zhang Jiao said in surprise.
"It's just a ball, an elliptical ball." Huo Hai handed the bowl in his hand to Baoer and gestured to Zhang Jiao with his hand.
He said so casually that he actually didn't plan to believe Zhang Jiao, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Jiao really believed it, so he asked a question that all the ancients would ask after they knew that the world was round.
"If the world is a ball, won't the person under the ball fall down?"
"Then do you know that things are going to fall to the ground, not to the sky, and why does water flow eastward and not westward?" Huo Hai asked Zhang Jiao.
Obviously, Zhang Jiao could not answer this question. Huo Hai patted the soil on his hand and walked towards the house where he was entertaining guests, saying, "That's because of gravity. People are in this world and are affected by gravity."
"But what if God could speak?" Zhang Jiao didn't think about the questions Huo Hai said that he didn't understand, and said something that made Huo Hai stunned.
"Can God speak? Did you hear it?" Huo Hai asked back.
"I didn't hear it, I saw it." Zhang Jiao shook his head and said.
"How to prove it?" Huo Haiwen asked him.
"I know you are here, from outside the world, this cannot prove it?" Zhang Jiao spread his hands and said.
Hearing this, Huo Hai frowned, looked at Zhang Jiao carefully, and turned to Wang Dangdao, "Prevent it outside the door. No one is allowed to come in before we come out."
Seeing the solemn expression on Huo Hai's face, Wang Dang patted his chest and said, "Sir, don't worry, with me here, no one can disturb your chat with the great master."
His words were an introduction to Zhang Jiao's identity. When he saw Huo Hai, he knew that Huo Hai had guessed Zhang Jiao's identity long ago.
Soon, the two of them sat in the warm room. Zhang Jiao poured tea for himself in Huo Hai, felt the chairs and warm environment in the room, and nodded, "People from outside the world, their living habits are indeed different from us."
"How did you know that I came from outside the world? And, you also know that I am alone, not... like them, thinking I am a god." Huo Hai looked at Zhang Jiao very seriously and said.
So far, he did not feel that he understood the world, because it was not exactly like what was written in history, nor exactly like what was written in Romance.
"You asked my second brother to pass a message to me and ask me for the "Taiping Qingling" in my hand. I thought you knew it." Zhang Jiao said, untied the burden on his back and placed it in front of Huo Hai.
"This is?"
"Taiping Qingling."
Huo Hai was stunned when he heard this. He was about to open the bag on the table, but Zhang Jiao reached out to stop him. He said with a serious expression, "Are you sure you want to open it?"
"Is there any problem?" Huo Hai looked at Zhang Jiao in confusion.
In his opinion, this is just a book. After reading it myself, you can still return it to him.
However, Zhang Jiao didn't think so and said, "There are many people on Black Mountain who should have died. If you open this book, they may suffer."
"Suffering? Why?" Huo Hai asked in confusion.
"Heavenly Punishment." Zhang Jiao pointed to the way of heaven again.
"This set of things is called feudal superstition in our world. I don't believe that reading a book will cause others to suffer any punishment. This is too much." Huo Hai waved his hand and gestured to Zhang Jiao to hold the hand pressed on the book and open it.
Zhang Jiao smiled when he heard this, let go of his hand and made a gesture of asking for help, "Then you can try it. Anyway, I don't feel sorry for their life and death."
Huo Hai pulled the bag in front of him and untied it with a skeptical look. He glanced at Zhang Jiao with some anxiety and opened the thick cover of the book.
"Paper book?" Huo Hai looked at the page in surprise and said.
When Huo Hai opened the book, his whole nerves were tense and he felt the changes outside the room.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The heavenly punishment is divided into six types: wind, rain, thunder, lightning, fire, and stone. When this book is opened, strange phenomena will appear in the world. Now..." Zhang Jiao seemed to have not felt any strange phenomena, and walked outside the house with some disbelief and looked at it. It was still clear.
"I have said that I can't believe these divine things." Huo Hai continued to look through the heavy book and said.
The first page of the book may be a preface, which describes the heaven and earth, yin and yang, the five shapes, ten branches, disasters and strangeness, and the enlightenment of the gods, and six major chapters.
Among them, the contents of the ten branches are particularly large, but what is not what is mentioned in the ten Buddhist theories is: military division, politics, law, medicine, martial arts, Taoism, numbers, books, music, and humanity.
The human way here is not the benevolence of Confucianism, but some secrets of human reproduction and inheritance.
"Can you understand the words on this?" Zhang Jiao looked at Huo Hai in a daze.
Huo Hai nodded twice and said, "It's just a bit unexpected. Why do the person who wrote this book have simplified Chinese characters?"
"What is simplified Chinese?" Zhang Jiao said in a daze.
"That is, the characters with a slightly different stroke and simpler strokes are explained by Huo Hai.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiao suddenly realized his mind and said, "So that's it. I thought this book was incomplete! Yes, this book is indeed incomplete, the three chapters of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and the five elements are lost."
"Is this? Do you know that I will appear here?" Huo Hai continued to flip down and found that about half of the book was cut off by someone.
Zhang Jiao's reaction seemed to be slower and said, "I understand, you are not a person from this world, so you are not restricted by the will of heaven. Therefore, if you open this book, there will be no vision."
"We have said not to believe these divine things." Huo Hai said with some depression.
Seeing that Huo Hai still didn't believe it, Zhang Jiao reached out and hugged the book from Huo Hai. Suddenly, Huo Hai felt a strong wind blowing at the face, blowing him from the long bench to the ground.
"Boom..."
A thunder echoed through the sky, and Zhang Jiao immediately put the book together and pushed it into Huo Hai's hand.
"This..." Huo Hai was confused.
"This book is a thing that goes against the heavens. Only a person like you can read it. You believe it now!" After Zhang Jiao finished speaking, he looked out of the house.
A thunder came just now, and I don’t know how many people were killed!
Huo Hai looked at the book in his hand and felt a little unbelievable. However, he encountered such a thing as traveling through time, so what else is more outrageous?
"Where can I see the reason for my time travel?" Huo Hai looked at Zhang Jiao excitedly and asked.
"The last article, God's enlightenment." Zhang Jiao replied.
Huo Hai turned directly to the second half of the book when he heard this.
"Hmm? No words, huh, there is another one, it's slowly displayed..." Huo Hai looked at the ink traces gradually displayed on the paper.
"The way of heaven can reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency..."
"Ke Ao, is this the Nine Yin Scriptures?" Huo Hai said in a daze.
Chapter completed!
