Chapter 320： guide

   Mu Yangling's recruitment notice didn't even hit a wave as soon as it was posted, because in this era, there are too few people who can farm but can read.

had no choice, so she had to invite two people to stand beside her and read it to explain it to everyone.

But the big guy doesn't believe in her recruitment, and thinks she is joking, joking, and farming needs to be studied? Don't you know if you just drag someone in the field?

So although there were quite a few people watching, no one came forward to reveal the list, and no one came to sign up. It became a joke and spread throughout the country.

Mu Yangling took the time to send Bowen and Xiuhong to Hanzhong Mansion, and asked them to follow Xiuhong to work on the children's winter clothes. When they came back, no one revealed the list.

Just when Mu Yangling was thinking about changing to Xingzhou Mansion to try it out, Liu Ting came to him.

Liu Ting doesn't go to the city very often, so he heard the discussion in the village last night to know what A Ling did. The elders in the family thought that A Ling was making a fool of himself, but Liu Ting was moved.

In the past two years, A Ling has always allocated a few acres of land for experiments. He knows it, because every time he farms, he will come to help. He has also personally helped to organize the few experimental fields, and sometimes he can't help it. Think, what A Ling said might be right, didn't people know how to plant it before?

They were all figured out step by step. In the time of Emperor Gaozong, although everyone had corn seeds, but because they couldn’t plant them, they buried things for nearly a hundred years. If they could be like A Ling, they would try to plant them in various ways. Let's think about the reasons for good or bad harvests, diseases or health. Is it because corn has been planted long ago? Now, everyone will not be hungry when they encounter natural disasters. The worst situation is much better than now, right?

So Liu Ting talked to his cousin Liu Yuan and came here.

Liu Yuan also wanted to come, but he was stumped by the matter, so he had to ask his cousin to ask.

Shu Wanniang respected Liu Ting very much. After pouring him a cup of tea, she went to the kitchen to cook for him and asked them to chat.

Liu Ting looked around and asked, "Where's your aunt?"

"My aunt couldn't be free, so she went to the backyard to serve the vegetable field."

Liu Ting nodded, "Is there enough food at home? If it's not enough, go back and ask your aunt to pick it up for you."

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "My aunt not only planted vegetables in the back yard, but also did not lose the vegetable field at the back of the old house, so there will be no shortage of vegetables at home, but the varieties will be much less after the winter. For a few days, I can only eat cabbage every day."

"What else can you eat without eating cabbage in winter?" Liu Ting said indifferently: "I will go back and repair the cellar for you. If you change some water frequently, the cabbage will dry more slowly."

Mu Yangling nodded. Seeing that Liu Ting was always unable to talk about the business, he asked, "Uncle, is there anything you came to see me for?"

Liu Ting hesitated for a while, and then asked: "I heard that you posted a recruitment notice in the county seat, and you want to recruit people who can farm the land?"

Mu Yangling nodded.

Liu Ting was silent for a while and asked, "How can you be considered a farmer?"

"Uncle is someone who knows how to farm?" Mu Yangling knew that many people disagreed with his point of view, so he explained: "But I think there is also a skill in planting, from leveling the land to planting, and then fertilizing in the middle. , watering, harvesting, different methods have different harvests, I want to find a better method for a crop, which belongs to the improvement of planting technology, and seeds, I think seeds can be cultivated," Mu Yang Ling saw that Liu Ting listened carefully, so he slowed down and said: "Rice seeds are not drought-tolerant, nor high-yield, and the ears are not long and the plant is not high. I want to cultivate drought-tolerant, high-yield, ear-length, and plant-height. rice."

Liu Ting frowned, puzzled in his eyes, "But the seeds are all left over from the previous generation, how about this...how to cultivate? You can't put the fairy method into the seeds like the practice, you can only have high yields. Try to work meticulously, fertilize the ground, be careful when fertilizing, and ensure water..."

Liu Ting became more and more discouraged as he spoke, and said, "This is not a fruit tree, and it can still be grafted to survive."

Mu Yangling's eyes lit up, she couldn't explain the concept of heredity and hybridization with him, but the survival of the fittest could also be an explanation.

Mu Yangling went into the house and took out a handful of rice seeds on the table, and said, "Look, uncle, this is from my farm this year."

Liu Ting peeled a grain of millet and chewed it in his mouth, nodded and said, "It's delicious, full and fragrant, you can still receive such good millet in such a dry day, it seems that you are very dedicated, but I remember that At that time, most of the rice in your field was not heading?"

Doubt flashed in Liu Ting's eyes, did he remember it wrong?

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "A total of 108 kilograms of rice has been collected from ten acres of rice."

Liu Ting's face darkened, this output...

"But these millets were grown in dry fields, and the nearby rice didn't even harvest the ears, or they didn't produce grains, but they endured the drought. Uncle, you say its descendants Is it also able to withstand drought?"

Liu Ting was stunned, and thought seriously.

"I think this kind of seed is just like a human being. It not only survives the fittest, but also inherits the superior gene, so I plan to use these seeds for experiments next spring."

"What if these seeds are not drought tolerant?"

"There are always headings, right? The winners will be selected at that time, but this only guarantees drought, and we also have to ensure high yields, so uncle, I plan to go into the fields next year to take a closer look to see if there are particularly long ears. There are many grains, so save them as seeds."

"But how do you turn two seeds into one?" Liu Ting widened his eyes and said, "They can't mate..."

Mu Yangling smiled brightly, and Liu Ting was stunned, "You, what the **** are you thinking in your head? This rice can also mate?" He said to himself, "That's right, that spike is Flowers, you have to sow seeds to make grains, but how do you pay them?"

Liu Ting saw that A Ling was looking at him with bright eyes, so he reached out and slapped his mouth, what did he say in front of the child? Just ashamed, is there any wood?

But Mu Yangling didn't expect Liu Ting to think of this step, and said happily: "Uncle, come and help me, you don't have to worry about the things in the field, when I invite people to work in the field, we will concentrate on it. Get those acres of experimental fields."

Liu Ting shook his head, "Even if you go there for a day, it won't take long, A Ling, your uncle Yuan has more ideas than me, I'll just help you with him, let's remove the list, this is Isn't it a waste of money?"

"No, you alone are not enough, we should recruit a few more people and brainstorm, maybe we can come up with more ideas."

The main reason is that she doesn't know much about some things. Although she has read two agricultural books in the past year, she still doesn't master many things, so she has to learn and explore step by step.

"But if people are not from us, it would be inconvenient to come to work here."

"There will always be a way. The old house next door is still empty. It's a big deal for people to live there."

"Don't Zhang Wu and Zhang Liu live there?"

"They moved to Hanzhong Mansion. I asked them to visit the cattle farm. Even if they come back, they can live in it. The old house is not small. Our family used to live there."

Liu Ting wanted to object, but there was a knock on the door and someone shouted, "Is anyone home?"

Liu Ting could only stop and wait for Mu Yangling to go out and open the door.
