When they learned that the Jiehu army was heading south, Nanyang, the atmosphere in Xiangcheng became tense. The powerful men who were angry because of the implementation of the Baojia system and felt that their interests were damaged, they had to admit that the baojia system was not something, that is, this system turned the entire county into a huge military camp and turned every village into a fortress. Once implemented and attacked Nanyang, the Hu army in Xiangcheng would encounter unprecedented tenacious resistance, and their wealth and lives would be guaranteed!

What are the interests to talk about in this chaotic era? It is the greatest interest to survive!

With Shi Le's assist, the Baojia system was successfully implemented. It was parallel to the military system, setting up the grassroots structure of the small court in Nanyang, allowing the influence of the court to reach the countryside. This is something that countless emperors wanted to do but could not do at all since the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Shi Le did not bring entirely assists, but also had a huge threat. So Beigong Jing had to leave him when Li Rui offended all the powerful men in the county and was likely to be in danger of his life. He led the Shenwu Army to Xiangcheng, and at the same time mobilized the troops of Xiangcheng to prepare to fight Shi Le.

Li Rui continued his farming career.

The autumn harvest has ended, and everyone is nervously sowing winter wheat. In the process of sowing winter wheat, Li Rui once again showed his extraordinaryness. He provided farmers with a large number of curved plows, which are light and flexible, easy to control, and are highly welcomed by farmers once they are launched. At the same time, several other gadgets he has prepared are also popular with everyone. One is a wooden water truck, which easily leads out of the canal water far lower than the canal entrance, watering tens of millions of fertile fields, and the other is a chimney. This thing is made of bamboo, with a wooden pole and a wooden pole inside.

There is a spinning-shaped object made of animal skin at the end, which is flush with the bamboo tube. When pulled, it may pump the air in the tube upwards to form a vacuum. When it is pulled, it can draw a barrel of water by invading the water inlet into the bucket. Pushing the pole against the wheat field, the water in the barrel will be sprayed out, and it can be sprayed out as far as two meters away. This thing is undoubtedly very useful, because the wheat needs to be watered the next day after planting it, and it cannot be flooded. It is too difficult to lead the water to the field and then pick it up and spoon it up and spoon it. It will be much easier to use this, and even children can help.

There is another tool that is very popular, that is, the animal seedling cart.

There were also seeders in ancient China, but they were called stools. They were driven by humans and were composed of stools, stools, stools, stools, etc. There were many types of stools to stools of stools from two legs, sowing them with more even seeds on both legs. It was driven by animal power. When sowing, a cow was used to pull the stools and sow the stools on flat land. At the same time, covering and suppressing them, killing a few times and saving time. Li Rui mainly improved the transmission equipment of the stools.

He also solved the problem of uneven seeds in multi-legged womb sowing. He used the principle of shooting regulators from World War I, and achieved the synchronization of the release of seeds and the progress of livestock. Every time the livestock moves forward, the seed spreader releases seven seeds, neatly. In other words, the farmer just needs to drive the livestock forward, sowing seeds, and returning to the soil without worrying about anything. Wherever he passes, there is a neat row of seven seeds, which is extremely efficient.

With the support of strong organization and various very useful farm tools, the sowing of winter wheat was very smooth. Before mid-October, a total of 6 million acres of wheat had been sown. This is the first time in the whole north that sowing so many wheat at one time in a county. This shows how much influenced by Li Rui in Nanyang in the past six months, Xiangcheng has used wheat as a staple food.

When the wheat was sown, it was time for harvesting crops such as millet, soybeans, and cabbage in Li Rui's experimental fields.

On the day of harvest, many ordinary people from Nanyang and Xiangcheng counties came over to watch the fun. Even Sima Quan and Jia You came. Everyone looked at the mature crops in that place and exclaimed incredible surprise: It turns out that you can really plant two seasons of crops a year!

Li Rui stroked the ear of Gu and sighed: "Oh, the growth cycle is still too long. It will only mature in mid-October... If it can mature about twenty days earlier, there is no need to work on the two-year and three-year ripening system. It would be better to cook twice a year!"

Jia You said quietly: "It is a miracle to get familiar with each other for two years!"

Li Rui said: "What a miracle this is? Someone has tried it and succeeded. Is it okay? It's just that no one has noticed it!"

The three-ripening system in two years appeared much earlier than people imagined. After discovering the advantage of wheat being able to overwinter, the ancestors of China began to explore how to plant two seasons of grain in a year. Shandong during the Warring States Period took the lead in setting an example. However, since the millet growth cycle in this era was generally around four or five months, after harvesting winter wheat, you can still get a harvest. However, it is not enough time to sow winter wheat after harvesting millet, because it is already mid-to-late October, and after sowing winter wheat, it is November, and there is no time to sprout and extract leaves for winter wheat.

It can only be ripened three times in two years, but it is difficult to maintain two times in a year.

When choosing seeds, Li Rui had tried his best to choose varieties with short growth cycles, but he still couldn't get the millet to harvest before early October. This means that two ripenings a year are unrealistic, and three ripenings a year are the limit.

It would be great if there was a variety that could mature within three months! In this way, it would be a dream to have two ripening in a year.

With a little dissatisfaction, he ordered the harvest.

The farmer waved his sickle and took down the full ears of grain. Li Rui asked someone to weigh it. He wanted to master the yield per mu.

Due to sufficient fertilizer and proper management, these millet harvests were good. The worst variety had a yield of three huh per mu, while the best variety had a yield of five huh per mu. Although it had not been dried or threshed, it was just a gross weight, but this number was already amazing. The results were announced, and the onlookers looked disbelief.

Not only can you plant two seasons of grain in a year, but the output can also be so high!?

It's simply incredible!

Jia You said to Li Rui: "The Grand Secretary Nong is really the reincarnation of Shennong!"

Li Rui sighed: "What a big deal about Shennong's death, this harvest is simply a shame!"

Jia You was stunned: "Why did the Grand Secretary say this?"

Li Rui pointed to the millet pole with the ears cut off, and was so sorry that I couldn't make a steel: "I have put down so much fertilizer and used so much labor, and I thought I could have a good harvest. What's the result? The best variety has only reached six hu per mu. Where does this put my face? It's so embarrassing!"

Jia You: "..."

Uncle police, someone is pretending to behave here. Come here quickly, the scene is going to get out of control!

"The best harvested variety will be kept. Next year, it will be mainly planted, and there will be fewer other varieties!" Li Rui ordered hatefully.

From his gritting tone, it can be seen that he was really angry and not pretending.

Sima Quan asked Jia You in a low voice: "It's obviously a bumper harvest and the yield is very high. Why are the Grand Sennor looking unhappy?"

Jia You whispered: "He is not satisfied with the output and thinks it is too low."

Commander Quan looked at the ghost and said, "This yield is too low? How many hu of per mu does it take to be considered high? The yield per mu is five hu. Even when Emperor Wu was alive, he would have to pay sacrifices to the Taimiao when he encountered such a good thing!"

A hukou of sixty kilograms per mu, and that is 300 kilograms. Such output is not the fourth century, even in the early stages of liberation, it can be considered a bumper harvest. After all, the most dissatisfied thing about millet is its low yield, and it is common for more than 100 kilograms per mu. In this era without fertilizers, pesticides, and high-yield seeds, the yield per mu was about 100 kilograms or even 80 kilograms per mu was a level of "good harvest". The yield per mu was 300 kilograms. The local officials were afraid that they would report it as auspicious. After seeing this auspicious, the emperor had to go to worship the Taimiao.

But Li Rui was not satisfied, very dissatisfied!

Sima Quan said that he really couldn't understand Li Rui anymore, and he couldn't understand at all!

After collecting millet with a smelly face, Li Rui ran to collect beans.

Then his face became even worse.

A hundred kilograms were collected per acre of land, and two huh was more than a little, but three huh was not enough!

He stared at these unscrupulous beans and gritted his teeth: "Dry them quickly. I want to use them to squeeze soybean oil to make tofu bean curd bean paste!"

Sima Quan couldn't help swallowing.

Only the yield of cabbage can barely satisfy Li Rui. The harvest of this thing is really high. The yield per mu is just like playing. He untied a few straws of cabbage and looked at it. He said, and he really had huge and tender leaf balls growing inside.

In this era, there seems to be no cabbage variety that can be automatically deformed. At least he has not discovered it yet, so he can only help them by himself, but he did not expect it to be a great success.

Li Rui, you are awesome!

Now is not the best time to harvest cabbage, so Li Rui did not make any effort to harvest them. He asked someone to chop some of them, peel off the outer layer of the old leaves, leaving only the huge and tender leaf balls, and himself fry a pot of lard and stir-fry cabbage, and invited the emperor, ministers and ordinary people to visit his test field to taste it. It would be fine if he didn't taste it. Once he tasted it, the emperor was silent, the ministers burst into tears, and the common people were relatively speechless.

It turns out that vegetables can be so delicious!

So what do they usually eat? Are weeds?

Sima Quan's cheeks bulged up as he chewed, and he said vaguely: "It's delicious... delicious... I'll eat this every day in the future and I won't eat any sunflower dishes again!"

People don’t eat sunflower very much nowadays, but it was so famous in ancient times. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, it has always been the main vegetable on the table of ancient Chinese people. The ancients mainly ate its tender leaves and stems, and it was popular to eat its seeds in the Tang Dynasty. This vegetable is mucus-cooked, which tastes smooth, fat and tender, and has a good taste. In ancient times, there were few oil crops, and the oil pressing technology was not very good. Cooked oil was scarce. This vegetable that could make delicious without adding much oil was very popular and became the first of all vegetables. However, since the Song Dynasty, oil pressing technology has made rapid progress, and cooking oil is no longer so scarce. It immediately changed from sweet to Madam Cow, and was replaced by cabbage that is more delicious but needs more oil. By the Ming Dynasty, there were very few people who ate it.

The people of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties said: Only cabbage is better for a hundred dishes!

Well, cabbage is the most awesome. What kind of sunflower is we don’t know, so go there!

After being fooled by Li Rui, I am afraid that Kui Cai will go to the New Year in advance and leave the market...
