Chapter 57

This week is coming to an end again, and the results of this book really make Wenrou speechless. However, Wenrou will work hard to write. I hope everyone can support it, collect, recommend, click, reward, and evaluation. None of them can be missed!

...

After beating the servants inside the manor, Li Anran did not make much changes in specific matters. The most important thing was to ask Zhao Er to take his wife from the county town, specifically responsible for his own diet, and also bring the gobang who lives in Zhao, so as to save the family of three from living in the two places day and night.

In addition, the health of the manor, the work requirements and responsibilities of various "functional departments" were clarified, and rules for reward and punishment were set. The rules were simple but also very strict. If done well, they would be rewarded a lot, but if they were not done well, they would be punished a lot.

Li Anran's idea is very simple. He has the ability to travel back and forth in two time and space, and money is not a problem at all. But if you only get rewards, it will encourage greed and dissatisfaction. Just having a "big stick" will damage your foundation. It is the most suitable method of holding a "carrot" in one hand and the "big stick" in the other.

After dealing with the people in the yard, Li Anran was not idle either. She sat directly in the front hall and asked Mr. Wang, who had just successfully transferred his job, to call the merchants who already belonged to him in batches according to his age and personal reputation, to chat with him, or ask for some needs and ideas. Unfortunately, ancient people attached great importance to the rank of status, and almost no one dared to say anything, and answered whatever they asked and answered well.

Li Anran was not surprised by this situation. Anyway, the current group of merchants are only the first batch of people to start their own plan. They will not have much to do, nor will they involve any core content. It is a good thing to be so honest, as long as you are

All you need is only obedient subordinates. It is not a good thing for those who are too independent.

After communicating with these merchants, at the suggestion of Wang Guan’s family, Li Anran picked up ten more satisfied merchant houses and divided the seeds he brought.

Although this batch of seeds does not have sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which can make the agriculture in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty a leap forward, it has many vegetables with good yields. For example, the first one was misunderstood as poisonous wolf peaches, that is, brightly colored, sweet and sour tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, eggplants, pumpkins, and other varieties.

The reason for doing this is, first of all, out of selfishness, I want to solve the problem of lack of food varieties in ancient times, so as to satisfy my appetite. Secondly, I also want to try whether these seeds can be planted after time and space travel. At the same time, I also want to see if these seeds will change like the ones and the chickens that are properly raised after time and space travel.

In addition to these two main reasons, the final thing is to use these vegetables that have not appeared in China in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, as well as subsequent greenhouse technology, to create a "auspicious auspicious" that is enough to make His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty happy. Even with the mysterious actions that Li Anran has shown now, many things would not be so smooth, but this "auspicious auspicious" that benefits the country and the people will never be disgusted with little land.

Li Anran also knew very well that the vegetable varieties he brought were either not appearing in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, or new varieties improved in later generations. People in this era are not clear about the cultivation methods of these varieties, so they specially wrote down the planting methods and precautions he had searched in advance. However, after writing several planting instructions, I regretted not bringing the printer.

Thinking of the printer, Li Anran thought of the four treasure shop in Lantian County. Although it has not reopened yet, it will definitely reopen after all the people are available. At that time, he can order some pens, ink, paper, ink, paper and inkstones, and related books and goods from modern time and space for sale.

After writing the planting methods and precautions, considering that the proportion of literacy in ancient times was really low, Li Anran asked Butler Wang to bind the things he wrote into a book, and then invited the two literacy accounting rooms in the manor to teach each household one by one according to the previous plan of each household being responsible for planting one variety to the selected manor.

It just surprised Li Anran a little that when he met these merchants separately, he had passed on his previous career as a tiger-killing master. As a result, not only the merchants who suffered from tigers at home were grateful, but even the merchants who were not harmed by tigers were grateful. Although this emotion did not make the entire villa unite, it at least made the first step of taking over the villa very steadily, and at the same time it had a certain prestige and fame.

As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

For the ten selected farmers, Li Anran also gave certain compensation while assigning planting tasks. Each laborer will receive a very good reward every day compared to the current year. In addition, work is usually more busy and tired at the beginning, and when the things grow out, there are only some things left for management and maintenance. The wives, old people and little guys at home can take over the work of taking care of their own fields even if they can't help. Moreover, it's summer now, and the farming work is not very busy, and no one will be so stupid that they disagree with the extra income.

After finalizing the vegetable planting, Li Anran asked Mr. Wang to find several houses in the villa that knew how to work in carpenters. Because the fields in the village were basically in use, even if some of them were not used, they were in a fallow state. In ancient times, there were no later fertilizers, and even the use of natural fertilizers was limited. In order to maintain the fertility of the land, they were usually cultivated for a year and then fell for a year. If you want to plant the vegetables you brought, you naturally have to find another place.

Fortunately, this village, which has been renamed Xiaoyao Villa, actually includes a lot of wasteland and forests in addition to 6,000 acres of fields. However, it was not easy for farmers in the Tang Dynasty to reclaim wasteland. Therefore, in order to make this work more smooth and fast, and to further enhance his importance, Li Anran took out a big killer weapon in the ancient agricultural field, the curved plow.

Compared with the ploughs before ancient times, there are several major improvements. First, the straight shaft and long shaft are changed to curved shaft and short shaft, and a free-turn plow plate is installed on the shaft head. This not only makes the plow frame smaller and lighter, but also makes it easier to turn and turn, and is flexible in operation, saving manpower and animal power. This thing first appeared in the Dongjiang area in the late Tang Dynasty. It can be said that the emergence of this kind of plow is a milestone in the maturity of farming tools in my country.

In fact, with the technology of modern time and space, the curved plow has long been eliminated. If you really want to accelerate the agricultural development in the villa, Li Anran can bring some light agricultural machinery from modern time and space. Anyway, these agricultural machinery are almost powered by diesel, and they don’t have to worry about power generation, substation, storage and maintenance like household appliances. But it is okay to use these agricultural machinery by themselves, but it is obviously inappropriate if it is promoted.

Let’s not talk about how valuable these agricultural machinery materials “steel” are in the eyes of the ancients. Once promoted, even if they can make a big profit in diesel, this large-scale leaps and bounds will inevitably touch on some sensitive problems. At the same time, it will be quite troublesome in maintenance and other aspects. The most important thing is that it is not good for you at all.

The structure of the curved plow is not complicated. Before this time, Li Anran made sufficient preparations and specially bought some tape measures as tools to unify weights and measures. In this way, the curved plow produced can naturally achieve uniform size. Once some parts are damaged, it can also play a great role in replacement and maintenance.

After teaching these merchants who know how to use tape measure and carefully explain the structure of the curved plow, Li Anran did not forget to try to prevent these merchants from not being afraid of failure. They did it several times at a time until they succeeded. In order to boost morale, they also made a reward of ten coins. Whoever could make the curved plow first will get the money.
