Chapter 91: Daida Law
"Why not fertilize?" Chen Bing answered without thinking.
Fertilize if you lack fertility, this is common sense.
However, Chen Bing immediately realized that it was not that simple.
This is because Xu Ying and others didn't respond much, but Zhang Ge's face looked a little proud.
On the other hand, Chen Bing thought that if fertilization could be solved, the farmer would not have waited until now.
Sure enough, I listened to Xu Ying's answer:
"Workman, although fertilization is good, it is far less fertilized than arable land!"
Chen Bing was stunned. After thinking about it, he understood the problem.
The Qin people did not know how to use feces to fertilize, nor did they have toilets, but they often solved the problem in the wild and anywhere.
Men go out early and come back late and work in the fields. They can’t run back from a long distance to go to the toilet during the period.
This is even more so when the army is marching here, build a simple toilet at will, and build another one at that time... As a result, there is naturally not enough farm fertilizer when farming.
However, this is not a problem for Shen Bing.
"You can make fertilizer!" Chen Bing said.
Fertilizer was a simple method of accumulation and fertilizer making commonly used in ancient my country. However, agricultural production was backward in the Qin Dynasty, and there was obviously no fertilization technology.
Xu Yingqi said: "What is fertilizer?"
Chen Bing replied:
"It is to collect human feces, urine, rotten leaves, animal feces, and weeds and other mixed accumulations."
"Then use mud to seal it to make it rot, and it will be fat in more than ten days."
Xu Ying looked at Shen Bing with half faith and half doubt:
"Is this... really fat?"
Zhang Geze smiled and said:
"Are the worker talking in a hurry?"
"No one knows whether this kind of fertilizer can increase income."
"If I use this method to farm and find that the harvest is small in two years, who will I ask to go to? "
Xu Ying glared at Zhang Ge and said:
"Zhang Ge, don't be rude!"
Zhang Ge replied in a false way:
"Sir, this matter is very important to the three counties with 10,000 mu of fertile land."
"If this fermented fertilizer not only fails to be effective, it will poison the crops, and then there will be no grains in the three counties..."
Everyone under the seat nodded and expressed their reasonableness.
Although Zhang Ge's words are aggressive, they are indebted.
The land that the farmer cultivates is not one acre or three cents of his own.
If you only have a few acres of arable land in your own home, it doesn’t matter if you have no harvest in the next year.
There are many rich children among the peasant families. For example, Xu Ying has an official position and does not have to rely on farming to live.
The problem is that the farming method of farmers is to popularize the three counties and even the whole country. If there is a problem, I don’t know how many people will starve to death or even destroy the country.
Therefore, the farmland method introduced by farmers must be careful and careful. It will not be easily promoted without personal testing.
However, Xu Ying was still very interested in the method of Shen Bing.
"We must be careful to deal with it."
"Although the craftsman's method cannot solve the immediate problem, we can open up a few fields to experiment."
"If this fertilizer is applied, it will be better to grow, and it will not be too late to promote it at that time."
Everyone nodded and said that this should be the case, and Chen Bing also said that there was no problem.
Zhang Ge was proud of this. He raised his head as if he had won a battle and said:
"So, this fertilizer will not be known whether it is feasible next year at the latest."
"But the military farm is near."
"If fertilizer is not available and all the fields are stored next year, it will be a difficult problem..."
Chen Bing touched his nose and said:
"If fertilizer is not good, how about using the field replacement method?"
Xu Ying was surprised again and asked:
"What is the method of replacing fields?"
Chen Bing looked around and saw a roll of bamboo slips placed in front of Xu Ying's case, so he bowed and asked:
"I wonder if I can use the bamboo slips for my inner history?"
Xu Ying hurriedly handed the bamboo slips up and said:
"certainly."
Chen Bing spread the bamboo slips open, pointed to the protruding and junction of the bamboo slips and said:
"We are like bamboo slips that intersect the farming process, like a ridge and ditch."
"When sowing, seeds are planted in ditches or on ridges..."
As he said that, Chen Bing paused for a while to see the reactions around him.
Seeing that everyone was not in a strange way, Chen Bing knew that he had guessed it right.
He happened to know the ancient farming methods in modern times.
The relatively backward ridge practice was used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the more advanced ridge practice was used during the Han Dynasty.
At this time, what Chen Bing was talking about was using the ridge method.
Zhang Ge couldn't wait, and he chuckled:
"Why do you need a craftsman to inform you if you make a trench in a trench in a low field?"
The so-called "taka fields are used as ditches" means that the water-deficient Taka fields are sown in the ditch, so that the seeds can absorb as much water as possible, and the seedlings will be less exposed to sunlight in low ditches for easy growth.
"Low fields make ridges" are the opposite. Low fields that are not short of water naturally need to sow seeds on higher ridges, which is conducive to drainage and plants grow better with more light.
No wonder Zhang Ge laughed at him.
During the Qin Dynasty, this ridge practice had long been formulated for law to be implemented nationwide, and I am afraid that all three-year-old children will be familiar with it.
But of course, Chen Bing didn't just want to say that.
He smiled, pointed at the bamboo slip and continued:
"Inner History, there are water trucks and overturns now, even Takata doesn't need to worry about water shortage."
"Why don't we sow all the seeds in the ditch?"
"In this way, the ridges can be made into ridges next year."
"Isn't this replacement meant an alternating recession?"
The method of replacing the field is actually very simple. It is to use the plant itself to require a certain line spacing. The fields between these lines are actually closed. When planting again next year, you just need to make a mistake.
Xu Ying pondered for a while, then gasped:
"A good ridge is used as a ridge."
"Why did we never imagine such a simple farming method in a century?"
"In this way... just need to lengthen the distance, all cultivated land will not need to be closed."
"These methods are great, and there are great talents for craftsmen!"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Everyone under the seat nodded and praised after hearing this.
But only Zhang Ge is still stubborn:
"Sir, this kind of field method cannot be easily implemented, if it affects the harvest next year..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Ying.
"Hey, General Wang Jian has ordered us to settle all the lands of the three counties."
"Since that's the case, what's the point of trying this generation of field method?"
Xu Ying was right. Since the fact is that all the fields must be stored, there is not much difference between using the ridge method or the land-replacement method.
The method of replacing the fields is just a little more spaced, and the rest is the same.
What other problems can happen?
Receive less food?
If this method is feasible, there is no need to close all cultivated land in the future, then I don’t know how much grain can increase production.
Thinking of these things, Zhang Ge had nothing to say, and his face was very embarrassing.
Xu Ying bowed to Shen Bing with great admiration:
"I only know that the craftsman has excellent wood skills, but I don't want to farm. Is that the same is true for me."
"With the talents of a craftsman, wouldn't it be a waste of talent if you don't join my farm?"
"I don't know the engineer..."
