The Reborn Wife is Farming

Even if Liu Ting wanted to preside over the construction of water conservancy, it would not be done in a short while, so he still brought people to help the Mu family build a house during the day, and went back at night to try to persuade everyone.

First of all, people from the Liu family, then people from the entire Chaoxi Village, and finally people from the two neighboring villages.

Mrs. Liu Zhao brought her sons Liu Lang and Liu Lun over to help plow the land. Mu Yangling pulled the plow in front and they took turns helping the plow behind. While paying attention to the ground under her feet, Mrs. Liu Zhao said: "Our family also decided to plant two About ten acres of winter wheat, let’s try it first and see if it’s good, we’ll do the same next year.”

"Then I'll help you pull the plow after plowing my land," Mu Yangling said, "my uncle and the others also have a lot of work to do, if you have a cow in every family, then How easy can a person be?"

Liu Zhao said with a smile: "That's the idea of ​​a rich family. If five of our families can have a cow, it's not bad. One cow costs eight taels of silver. Who can afford it?"

Mu Yangling wanted to buy one, thinking that after the new house was built, a row of small houses would be built on the left side of the yard to house the cows.

"Auntie, there are no cattle farms in this county, so where can we buy cattle?"

"That depends on luck," Liu Zhao said, "The calf is sold after the calf of other people's cows. Only those who are in urgent need will sell adult cattle, because there are few cows. That's expensive."

"Is there no one who specializes in raising cattle for sale?"

Liu Zhao said with a smile: "I've only heard of someone raising horses for sale, but I haven't heard of anyone raising cattle for sale. Rich people don't care about this, it's not that rich people can't afford it."

Mu Yangling couldn't help thinking about it. Now everyone cultivates the land almost entirely by manpower. Because of the war, labor is in short supply. If the supply of cattle can be guaranteed, the development of agriculture will definitely be faster.

The experiment she did in the first season has yielded results. In wheat farming in the upper-class and middle-class lands, the seeds are sown denser, and the harvest of covering the soil with two rows of rakes is less than that of the seeds, and the land covered with feet is more. Twenty-eight catties and sixteen catties were collected.

In the inferior fields, the crops with dense seeds were four catties less than those with thin seeds, and those with two rows of rakes harvested six and a half catties more than those with feet.

It can be seen that in the upper and lower grades of land, wheat can be sown more densely, and the covering soil can be thinner, which can be satisfied with two rows of harrows. To reduce the density of seeds.

This is an experiment on planting methods, and there will be experiments on the evolution of seeds in the future. Since Mu Yangling has decided to farm in the future, he naturally hopes that the industry will develop as advanced as possible. With cattle, the development of agriculture will only faster.

It's a pity that she has no place to raise cattle now. She has to go back and see if there is any place nearby to rent or buy, buy a piece of pasture, build a row of cowsheds, and raise dozens of cows. Five or six years later I don't believe that cattle can't be used widely.

Mu Yang moved his mind and started paying attention to the nearby places.

This large area has been designated as a military area, but only about one-third of the land is cultivated, and the remaining half is dense forest, and a small half is wasteland.

Mu Yangling went to those wastelands for a walk when he was free, but found that they were not connected, and it was not easy to use them as pastures to raise cattle.

That can only be found in a further place, Mu Yangling set his sights behind the kitchen mountain.

Seeing that Mu Yangling came back from the dark again, my aunt asked, "You go out every evening, what are you looking for?"

"It's nothing." Mu Yangling scooped up water to wash his face, looked at the half-built house next door, and asked, "Auntie, how long will it take to finish this? Can I live in it before winter?"

"At the current speed, it will be ready in another seven or eight days, and we will definitely be able to live in it before winter. Didn't you plow the land where our family wants to plant winter wheat today? Tomorrow you will go to your cousin and the others. Go home to help, and bring Xiuhong along."

"Xiuhong should stay. She still has to throw grass for the rabbits. If she goes, who will watch the rabbits?"

"Isn't Xiulan and I still there?" The aunt said: "Your cousin, aunt, and the rest of the family have come to work with us for so many days, it's hard to justify Xiuhong not going, you take her with you tomorrow to help level the ground. "

Mu Yangling thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's fine, the hay is piled up in the shed, and you all know how to measure it. You can just throw it down later. I'll go up the mountain tomorrow morning to see if I can catch prey. Take a little over there, let them have a tooth-beating festival too."

Aunt has no objection.

The traps on Muyangling Mountain have always been set there, and from time to time, one or two prey can be caught, but today she went up the mountain early in the morning, because she is now familiar with this area, so she went directly to the deep forest .

Mu Yangling squatted in the jungle for a long time, and finally waited for a strong roe deer. Mu Yangling drooled a bit, the autumn roe deer...

She put on an arrow, shot the roe deer through the neck with one arrow, ran out and stepped on the struggling roe deer, and seeing that it was dead, she picked it up and ran home.

Mu Yangling was too lazy to deal with it, so he called Xiuhong directly, "Go with the basket on your back, and wait until you get to my cousin's house." He untied the two pheasants and a rabbit from his waist and remained at the kitchen door, and said to his aunt: "Auntie, let's give them extra meals for their work. I'll go first."

Mu Yangling and Xiuhong walked out quickly, and Shu Wanniang hurried out two steps, shouting: "You guys come back early in the evening, your father will take a rest tomorrow, and you will be back when the ringing rings..."

Mu Yangling responded loudly, and he and Xiuhong disappeared into the morning mist.

With the basket on her back, Xiuhong rubbed her arms and said, "Cousin, it's getting colder today, look, I've got goose bumps."

Mu Yangling glanced at it, and said: "Isn't it getting colder? In ten days or so, the winter wheat will be planted. After this stubble is finished, I will stop going to the ground and concentrate on serving our rabbits. Every day One more trip into the mountain is over, you guys should take a rest, it’s been a year of exhaustion.”

"No matter how tired you are, you're not as tired as your cousin. I haven't seen you take a break this year," Xiuhong said, "My grandma said that there is no time when the land is finished. You have to rest when it's time to rest."

"Well, what my aunt said makes sense."

Xiuhong looked at Mu Yangling carefully, and said carefully: "Cousin, I actually think raising rabbits is much more cost-effective than farming. You see, Mr. Fan used the ledger to calculate the money last time. We only need to sell it once. Earning more than five hundred taels, if we can raise more rabbits, wouldn’t we be earning more money?”

Mu Yangling shook his head and smiled, "That's because we are lucky. If there is no Mr. Fan's formula and him selling things to the south, where are we going to sell so many rabbits? If we think this way, others will think the same way. If you stop farming, then no matter how much money you have in the future, you won’t be able to buy food.”
