The Reborn Wife is Farming

Liu Ting looked at the iron plow, then at his aunt, and finally said: "Aunt, you'd better not go, go back and call my daughter-in-law, and let her help. It’s time to plow the ground, call him too, and let the mother and son take turns helping Ah Ling to help the plow, and you should stay at home and keep an eye on the door.”

"Uncle, doesn't your family grow winter wheat?" Mu Yangling asked.

Liu Ting sighed and said, "We really want to grow corn, but there is a word from above that the weather may be bad next year, so we ask everyone to set aside the land to plant that corn."

Liu Yuan said worriedly on the side: "But we don't know how to grow the corn. Although they said they would send people down to teach us, but they have no confidence in the things that have never been planted, and I also heard that the things don't seem to be good. How delicious, so I still want to grow some wheat."

"I think the weather might be really bad next year," Mu Yangling said, "At this time in the past, there would be one or two rains in a month or so, but how long has it been? Except for the last two rains, until now I didn’t see the shadow of the dark cloud anymore,” Mu Yangling said: “The river is now only left with the layer of silt at the bottom of the river, and the other places are all dry and cracked. I want to plant some winter wheat. If there is drought in spring, The winter wheat has been planted anyway. With the winter snow as a base, it will definitely grow. No matter how dry the spring is, it should have a spring rain. With that rain, the wheat can head and fill. Even if the harvest is worse, it is better than spring wheat. powerful."

Liu Ting squatted on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "But what about the heat preservation? Our Xingzhou mansion is very cold in winter, and the ground is as hard as a brick. If you fall down, your head will be broken. , can the wheat rise in spring?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "It's cold in winter, don't underestimate the crops, even stones can be broken, but what you said is also reasonable, I plan to pull all the wheat and straw in the house after planting Cover the ground to keep the ground warm. In winter, there is also a buffer when the snow comes. The most important thing is to save water to the maximum. After the spring, the sun does not directly shine on the ground, and the volatilized water can be reduced a lot. Don't forget, we also have water conservancy here, three canals and three large reservoirs."

Liu Yuandao: "The reservoir and canal belong to your fifth battalion. The little general was kind last time. It will really be drought next year. I'm afraid your fifth battalion won't open the reservoir again."

"Isn't there still another winter? You can also build water conservancy," Mu Yangling said, "I heard the little general vaguely say that he wanted to widen the mouth of Jialing water to our river. The general in charge also said, wouldn’t it be enough to build a large canal from the river and build a reservoir?”

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan smiled wryly, "Do you think everyone is like the little general? Not to mention that we never see the general, even if we did, he wouldn't waste manpower on building water conservancy projects. Your Biao Xuan and the others now They are not in Xingzhou Mansion at all. They were all transferred to Hanzhong Mansion. Now they are guarding the city there. Even if they take ten days off, they will not be able to return home. We haven’t seen them for more than three months. If they hadn’t sent someone to report back Said to be alive..."

Liu Ting was full of worry, "Unless we build the water conservancy ourselves, we have no tools, and we can't make decisions about this matter, and we can't organize it..."

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan were very sorry, they were not under the command of the little general at the beginning. Although Qi Haoran was young, he listened to people's persuasion and paid attention to farming. Unlike other generals, he mainly focused on training soldiers. For farming, they only look at the results, not the process.

Obviously there is no favorable condition, and the goal is still set so high, Liu Ting feels that he is ten years old after only one year.

Now Mu Yangling can't do anything, he can't ask the little general to come forward, it's an act of crossing the line, which is very annoying.

Mu Yangling could only suggest, "How about Uncle Ting, try and see if you can organize people to dig a canal and reservoir. We have a lot of Liu family members. As long as we can convince the clan, we can convince other people, not necessarily If you want to build a camp, you can combine people from two or three nearby villages, your land is together, and the canals and reservoirs you build can be used by everyone. works."

Liu Yuan looked at the big brother with bright eyes.

Liu Ting's scalp was numb and he said, "I've never done this before."

"It's the first time for a big girl to get on a bridal sedan chair. Are you missing arms and legs, or are you missing a head compared to others? Can't you figure it out for yourself?" The aunt said: "Don't slap me, you haven't done this before." They have never done anything, as long as you show your momentum, they will listen to you."

Mu Yangling nodded again and again, and said: "Cousin, give it a try. If it doesn't work, it's nothing to do with you. In the end, just lift your hands away. Anyway, we worked hard, didn't we?"

Liu Yuan nodded again and again, "Brother, if you suggest, I will be the first to respond."

Liu Ting rolled his eyes at him, "My brother, how dare you not respond?"

Liu Yuan scratched his head and smiled.

Liu Ting sat cross-legged on the ground, took a stick and drew calculations on the ground, frowned and said, "Manpower alone is not enough. There are several families in our village who can't produce strong men. The family is either an old mother or a few half-grown children. We can’t take them away too, isn’t that a waste of people?”

Mu Yangling stopped going to the field now, and sat down to give him advice, "Then you can ask them to pay for the goods. If you want to build water conservancy, you have to buy some tools. If you can't get them, see if you can get them." Pay for goods, so that in the future they will not have any complaints about water conservancy, and if they can’t afford it, you can arrange lighter jobs for them.”

Mu Yangling listed out all the work needed for the construction of water conservancy projects, "Digging canals and reservoirs must be done by grown men, but digging mud and foundation stones is something even half-grown children and young women can do. If the construction starts now, it should be ready before the spring.” He said again: “Cousin, you still have to find someone who understands water conservancy to choose a good place for you. This water conservancy does not mean that you can find a piece of land to build it. , You can get twice the result with half the effort if you choose a place.”

Liu Ting lost confidence even more, "Where can I find such a capable person?"

Liu Ting really couldn't get in touch with such a person, Mu Yangling thought for a while and said, "How about I ask the little general for you to see if he can find it for you."

Liu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, "Then if we don't succeed in cultivating in the end, isn't it for nothing that the little general owes favors to others?"

"It's okay, cousin, you can do it at ease. The little general will agree with others. Things in this world can't be done all at once, and people won't blame them."

Liu Ting pondered, "You and uncle are capable, and you are of the older generation, maybe it would be better for him to come forward."

"No," Mu Yangling and his aunt objected together.

The aunt glanced at Mu Yangling, and said: "He is old and a little confused. It is up to you younger generations to decide this matter. Don't bother him with everything."

Liu Ting, Liu Yuan, and Mu Yangling were both a little embarrassed. Mu Yangling smiled dryly and then said seriously: "Uncle Ting, and uncle only have prestige in the clan, and your village and the nearby villages may not listen to him." Yes, there are old people in other people's homes, and once they talk about it, they don't have to do anything, I think this matter really needs your younger generation to come, it will be more appealing, and the old people will not object too much."

Mu Yangling coughed lightly, and said in Liu Daqian's tone: "You are all grown up, you have to fight and beat, and you have to rely on you for these things in the future? While we are still alive, what do you want to do if we can calculate for you? Just do it."
