The Reborn Lady is Farming

Liu Ting looked at the iron plow, then looked at his aunt, and finally said, "Aunt, don't go there, go back and call my daughter-in-law and let her help. Alang has grown up, and now he Start ploughing, call him too, and let the mother and son take turns to help Arling plow, and you can keep an eye on the door at home."

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

  Liu Ting sighed: "We really want to plant, but there is a word from above that the weather may not be good next year, so everyone should set aside the land to plant that corn."

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

"I think the weather may be really bad next year," Mu Yangling said: "In the past, there will be one or two rains in the past month, but how long has it been? Except for the last two rains, now I didn’t see the shadow of the dark clouds anymore,” Mu Yangling said, “The layer of silt at the bottom of the river is now left, and everything else is dry and cracked. I just want to plant some winter wheat. If it is dry in spring, After all, winter wheat has been planted. With the snow in winter, it will definitely grow. No matter how dry it is in spring, it should have a spring rain. With that rain, wheat can be heading and filling. Even if the harvest is worse, it will be better than spring wheat. powerful."

Liu Ting squatted on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "But what about the warmth? Our Xingzhou Prefecture can be very cold in winter, and the ground is as hard as a brick. If you fall down, you can break a person's head. , can the wheat come up in spring?"

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "It's cold in winter, don't underestimate this crop, it can break through even a stone, but what you said is also reasonable, I plan to pull all the wheat straw at home after planting. Cover the ground to keep the ground warm, and there is a buffer when the snow falls in winter. The most important thing is to preserve the water to the maximum extent. 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 still have water conservancy here, three canals and three large reservoirs."

  Liu Yuan said: "The reservoir and the canal belong to your fifth battalion. Last time, it was the little general's kindness. Next year is really going to be dry. I am afraid that your fifth battalion is not willing to open the reservoir again."

"Isn't that still another winter? You can also repair the water conservancy," Mu Yangling said: "I heard the little general vaguely say that he wants to open the opening of the Jialing water to our river a little bigger, and you and you will come back. The **** also said, build a large canal from the river, and build another reservoir, right?"

Liu Ting and Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, "Do you think everyone is the same as the little general? Let's not say that we won't see the general at all, even if we do, he won't waste manpower on water conservancy construction. Uncle Xuan and the others are now. They were not in Xingzhou at all, they were all transferred to Hanzhong. Now they are guarding the city there. Even if it is ten days off, they can't go home. We haven't seen them for more than three months. Said to be alive..."

  Liu Ting was worried, "Unless we repair the water conservancy ourselves, but none of us have the tools, and we can't be the master of this matter, and we can't organize it..."

Both Liu Ting and Liu Yuan regretted that they were not assigned to the junior generals at the beginning. Although Qi Haoran was young, he listened to people's persuasion and attached great importance to farming. Unlike other generals, his main energy was on military training. For farming, they only look at the results, not the process.

   Obviously there are no favorable conditions, and the goal is still set so high, Liu Ting feels that he is ten years older in just one year.

   Now Mu Yangling can't do anything about it. He can't ask the little general to come forward. That's a behavior that crosses the line, which is very annoying.

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

  Liu Yuan looked at Brother Lobby with bright eyes.

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

"Everyone has a first time on the sedan chair. Are you lacking arms and legs, or are you less brainy than others? You can't figure it out for yourself?" My aunt said, "Don't be a pest, you haven't done this before. They have never done anything, and they can listen to you as long as you show your aura."

   Mu Yangling nodded again and again and said, "Uncle Biao, try it out, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter to you, just lift your hands in the end, we've worked hard, haven't we?"

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

   Liu Ting rolled his eyes at him, "Our own brothers, do you dare not respond?"

   Liu Yuan scratched his head and smiled.

Liu Ting sat cross-legged on the ground, took a stick and made calculations on the ground, and frowned: "It's not enough to have only manpower. There are several families in our village that can't produce strong men, either old mothers or a few half-old children. You can't also pull them away, isn't that ruining people?"

Mu Yangling didn't go to the fields anymore, and sat down to give him an idea, "Then you can ask them to pay for things, you have to build water conservancy, and you have to buy some tools. Pay for things, so that they won’t have any opinions on water use in the future, and if you can’t pay for it, you can arrange for them to work more lightly.”

Mu Yangling listed out the work that needs to be done to build water conservancy projects, "The digging of canals and reservoirs must be done by adult men, but this is what half-aged children and young women can do. If you start the construction now, it should be ready before the spring." He added: "Uncle, you have to find someone who understands water conservancy to choose a place for you. This water conservancy does not mean that you can just find a piece of land to build it. , you can get twice the result with half the effort when you choose a place.”

   Liu Ting was even less confident, "Where can I find such a capable person here?"

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

  Liu Ting breathed a sigh of relief, "Then if we don't succeed in repairing in the end, won't the little general owe everyone's favor for nothing?"

   "It's alright, Uncle Biao, you can do it with confidence. The little general will talk to people. Things in this world can't be done all at once, and people won't blame them."

   Liu Ting pondered: "You and your uncle are capable, and they are from the older generation. Maybe he would be better off."

   "No," Mu Yangling and her aunt objected in unison.

   Auntie glanced at Mu Yangling and said, "He's old and a little confused. It's fine for the younger generation 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 with a serious face: "Uncle Ting, and uncle only have prestige in the clan, your village and the nearby villages may not listen to him. Yes, there are old people in other people's homes, they don't have to do anything when they talk about it, I think this matter really needs to be done by the younger generation, and it has more appeal, and the old people will not be too objectionable."

Mu Yangling coughed lightly, and said in Liu Daqian's tone, "You are all grown up, so you have to beat and beat. In the future, we can't rely on you for all these things? While we are still alive, we can give you a total of what you want to do. Just do it."
