During lunch, I saw a farmer on the table of the three fathers and the others not far away. When I spoke, I felt a little frowning. Gradually, the brows of the three fathers frowned.

Whether it is Oriental or Westerners, they have the habit of talking about things at the dinner table...

The three fathers are no exception, but those who usually eat with them are the best in the village, and the people in the village usually regard eating with the village chiefs as their own glory.

I know the person who talks to my fathers. He is Sanpingwei, the elder of the former Matsumoto Village. Under the leadership of Xuan's mother, he is responsible for the cultivation of rice and wheat. Because his daughter was saved by us, Sanpingwei was very attentive and loyal to us, and his original core personnel.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the rice and wheat?

After my mind moved, I didn't sit and eat properly. I ran to my father's table with the bowl.

"Master Bao!"

Seeing me coming, Sanpingwei quickly stood up respectfully.

"Sit, sit, Uncle Sanpingwei, don't be so polite." I smiled, sat next to him, looked at the three fathers who were discussing, and lowered his voice and asked him, "What's going on?"

I never put on airs when dealing with my own people because we have a gap in identity. Usually, I can get the gratitude and respect of others with just one ordinary and kind word, so there is naturally something to do.

After thinking about it, Sanpingwei also came up with the difficult things he came to report.

His is indeed about rice and wheat.

As we all know, the yield of crops is not fixed, but due to different types, various crops still have different yields.

For example, it would be great if one acre of wheat could have fifty or sixty kilograms, but it would take two hundred kilograms of rice to be considered a good yield.

There are many factors that affect crop yields, such as soil, climate, environment, fertilization, etc. But one of the biggest disruptive factors is the insect plague that is always present.

Basically, the pests are the same everywhere. The fields are stuck in the insects, borers and worms, and worms are known as the three major insects. They are very large in size but very large in number. In summer, wheat rice is the time when they grow lushly, and they come out to harm rice and wheat.

I don’t know if the black soil is too fertile, but the rice and wheat are much more lush than Sanpingwei imagined. In this way, the output exceeded the previous Matsumoto Village by 20 to 30%. It was like playing.

But the blessings are the basis of misfortunes because wheat and rice grow too well, and insect plagues are even more serious than before. A rice or wheat is now densely packed with more than a dozen insects.

July is coming soon. Before the harvest in August, July is the most important month. If the insect control is not good, the efforts of those months will fail.

Matsumoto Village started out as an agriculture company and has sufficient experience in protecting pests. In previous years, they smoked them with wild grass with strong and irritating smells a few times, and usually more than half of the rice or wheat can be saved. It is 700 to 80% possible when they are lucky.

However, this time it was not possible. As of last night, Sanpingwei had organized people to smoke it with weeds more than six times, and the pests had decreased by less than 20%.

If this trend continues, I am afraid that 30% of the rice and wheat will be saved in the end. This is not as good as the yield in Matsumoto Village, which wastes such good conditions as Liuyin Harbour.

It's indeed a difficult problem.

"Can't you continue to smoke it with weeds?" I frowned.

"Can't be used anymore." Sanpingwei explained: "If it's too much, it's not just the pests that will hurt. Even rice and wheat will wither because of this, making it even more unworthy of the loss."

"There is no other way to Matsumoto Village?"

"I'm sorry, Master Bao, we can only think of this." Sanpingwei said with some shame.

"Or... we have enough staff, so let the children get rid of insects one by one?" I asked another idea.

The three fathers also heard it, and their eyes lit up.

Not next or after, this year, there are only one thousand acres of rice and one thousand acres of wheat. If all people are used to remove insects, the task seems not to be so heavy. At least it will bring a bumper harvest this year. Then, let’s go back to the future.

"no!"

Sanpingwei shook his head: "Young Master Bao, you don't know how powerful this insect plague is. If you remove the insect today, tomorrow morning, there will be the same number of insects attached to it, and it will not decrease at all."

After he said this, I would have nothing to say, because Sanpingwei has been growing rice and wheat for more than 30 years and if he has no experience, he would have lived in vain for more than 40 years.

"Wait a minute, we call people from various villages to ask, and see how they did it before. After gathering their ideas, there may be new ways." After thinking for a long time, Shen Han sighed.

He was a little embarrassed because the Song Dynasty was a big farmer who planted wheat and rice, and Sichuan was known as the Tianfu Kingdom from ancient times to the present. It has always been a major granary. If he could understand some common sense in this area in the past, he might be able to help a lot.

In the past, Shen Xiucai looked down on those farmers, but now he is starting to support his family, and only then does he realize that eating and drinking should be ranked first. The rest of the music, chess, calligraphy and painting should be ranked behind and far away.

"It's all we can do first."

Dad Lauren nodded: "By the way, third brother, you will post a message later. Who can solve this problem? Reward... Three hundred taels of gold!"

"Wow! It won't be too high, right?" Ba Ye felt a little distressed, "I haven't even gotten the reward of 300 taels of gold!"

"Go to you!" Dad Lauren glared at him, "You Eastern people are angry. If we can solve the problem, we will definitely get much more than this. Why can't wise men who are full of wisdom also get the same benefits? Seeing wise men who have gained benefits, others will also help more attentively!"

"Okay, OK, you're right."

Master Ba couldn't stand Lauren's dad bombardment, so he hurriedly walked to his subordinates in a hurry.

As Ba said, the temptation of three hundred taels of gold is too great, and even I couldn't help swallowing: "Dad, can anyone get this three hundred taels of gold?"

Dad Lauren was slightly stunned, then nodded and smiled: "Yes, if your children have a way, then once it proves useful, give three hundred taels of gold."

"good!"

I slapped the table and ran out in a flash.

...

As the eldest young master of Sanguo Village, I naturally have some privileges, such as working, I don’t have to participate.

But in order to train myself and take the lead, I did not do less than others, and it also left many lazy children with no excuses to be lazy.

But this afternoon, I did not work, but took my nine partners to the rice fields and wheat fields to wander.

There are so many people standing around here. In addition to the working farmers, three fathers, three mothers, and dozens of middle-aged leaders are all there. They gather in several fields, pointing at rice and wheat from time to time.

"Brother Bao, your method is not good."

Regarding my daily request for children to catch insects in the fields, Tucker first put forward his opinion: "There are 2,000 acres in total. Even if you only send one child per acre, it will take two thousand children. First of all, the age of the child should not be too old, at least between eight and ten years old, otherwise you will be scared by insects and it will not be easy to persist. Then, the second point is that Village Chief Lauren and we measured that a mu of land is about 660 meters long and wide. Can you imagine a child walking back and forth dozens of times in a day and running tens of thousands of meters away?"

"So what about adding one child per acre?" Femiski suggested.

"There are only more than 2,700 children under the age of fifteen in Sanguo Village. How do you want us to increase it?" Tang Benjixiu said with a spreading hand.

"So this method is not possible, unless you only do it once or twice. If you want to remove insects every day, even if you add the elderly, there will be insufficient staff." Tucker concluded.

"Damn it! It would be great if there is anything that can replace us to remove insects!" Silang's fist hit the black soil, "Are we going to watch the precious food being destroyed by insects?"

"Just come now, yes." I said, "Since we can't think of a solution, then after we go back, we will also talk to the Three Kingdoms Young Army and other children to see if there will be really talented children who can help solve the problem!"

"How is that possible?" Zhang Zhuoqiang laughed: "Farming requires a lot of common sense. They don't even know what farming is. Where can they find a way? If you want to catch these bugs and fry them for food, they will be happy to help solve them."

"No matter what, go and tell them." I hated this kind of bastard who was angry with people, and slapped him on the shoulder: "Keep, you forgot. When I was eight years old, I thought about how to build wooden trousers for chickens, ducks, fish and feed maggots and earthworms!"

Zhang Zhuoqiang grinned in pain, but when he saw my vicious expression, he could only smile, "Brother Bao, who are you? You are the smartest person in our Sanguo Village. How can others compare to you?"

"Stop flattering!" I also laughed: "Go and notify those children quickly. By the way, Helen's mother was the first to be a new residence. On the side of the new residence, the work of introducing Liuyinjiang is about to accelerate. I will call those children later and we will meet there."

"OK!"

The friends agreed repeatedly.

There is one thing they are pretty good. When they have something serious, they are very willing to put in their efforts, not as scammers as they are on weekdays.

A person who is always scammering is not called lively and cute, but hateful!
