Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shi Jing had been in Central Plains for four days, and the Chong family began to move back from the south bank of the Dahe River. At this time, the farmer Ji Qi, who had heard the news, rushed over to Chonghua, expressing that he wanted to see the woman from the south.  .

    The reason why he wanted to meet Shi Jing was naturally because of those agricultural problems. He managed to catch a southerner with great difficulty, so he had to ask the questions carefully.

    "You take her to hang out here, idle is idle, why not come to my land, there are new plows in the south, and I have new farming methods here, you see, we are like the confluence of water ?¡­¡±

    "I also heard that there are some new grains in the south. I want to know what they look likethose are grown between the heaven and the earth, just like the rapeseed that was just used for oil not long ago. They are natural.  gift, but we haven't discovered it yet."

    Ji Qi is tall and good-looking, at least in Shi Jing's eyes, but of course he is still a lot worse than Gun when he was young.

    "I still have a lot of things I want to ask you."

    No matter how ox farming was discovered, or the problem of composting and retting, and the invention of new farming tools such as plows, Ji Qi is like a sponge in this respect, hoping to absorb these knowledge endlessly just like absorbing water.  .

    Shi Jing came to the field, Chonghua followed, and Ji Qi vigorously showed her his achievements:

    "Look at this paddy field. I have made improvements on the ridge and mu farming brought by the south. I call this new method derived from ridge and mu farming, called the ridge and mu method."

    "Change your ridge-acres to farm-acres. The ridges are a place for walking, but now, you can also cultivate them. Go up to the field and abandon the acre, and go down to the field to abandon the grain. You see, that hill is the result of my cultivation!"

    "On high land, the grain is planted in the ridge. In the low-lying land, the grain is planted on the ridge. The high field is planted with ridges, which can resist drought, and the low field is planted with ridges, which can drain water.  And move, both up and down."

    "And the harrows and other crushing tools from the south, after I tried them, I found that the land that has been raked is softer than the land that has not been crushed. Obviously, the water in the soil has not left."

    Ji Qi was like a child who got a new toy, happily showing Shi Jing his improved "rake", and said: "Since there are cattle plowing, I thought, it is always tiring to use people to make the rake.  So I let the ox pull the plow, and changed the plow to a harrow, but it didn't work very well, so I thought about it again, and I came up with this thing."

    "I call it 'L', but like a rake, it can be called a field grinder!"

    Ji Ai used twigs and pointed wooden sticks to weave something similar to a fence, which is called a fence. A round and heavy piece of wood was pressed on the top of this thing, and then pulled by an ox in front, so that it became a ox rake.  .

    Shi Jing was a little surprised: "What the shaman said is that using a rake to break up the soil can indeed make the grain grow better. I haven't thought about the reason for it, because I just joined the Akakata Sect not long ago, and I just think this method is novel.  It's just useful."

    Ji Qi sighed: "I wish we could meet again! In this world, the number of grains is related to people's rations, and the beasts in the mountains also have a cycle of life and death. Only by mastering the cultivation of grains can the human race gradually multiply and grow."

    "In the period of the Three Emperors in the ancient times, people drank blood like hair. In the era of the Three Emperors in ancient times, they finally gradually broke away from the ignorant days of beasts. People drilled fire, and there were nests.  of', the Terran thus learned to produce"

    "Hunting can't satisfy people's appetite after all. Hunger will cause many people to die. The flocks of sheep on the earth have wolves to maintain their numbers. If they lose wolves, the flocks of sheep will devour the grassland unscrupulously and continue to grow."

    "It takes years for life to grow, and it is very long, but it only takes one spring and autumn for the growth of grains."

    "Plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in the autumn. The sky does not pity the people. How can there be a hundred grains?"

    Ji Qi smiled and said: "I am the son of the emperor, and I know what kind of disasters the world has experienced, natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is too difficult for weak tribes to survive, but even a bug has the instinct to eat  .¡±

    "I invite you to come here and see my discoveries, not to show off to you, but I hope that if one day, you go back to the south, you must tell the wizard what I discovered, so that they can eat better.  Be full."

    "The farming technology brought by the south can fill the Central Plains with enough food. When we are full, we must return the better methods we have figured out to you. One day, I hope that people in the world will no longer be affected by it."  the misery of hunger."

    The ideals of people are different, Shi Jing suddenly felt that he"It's small, and Chonghua was also shocked.

    Everyone thinks that the farmer is buried in the land every day, playing with the vegetable seedlings and grains, but no one knows that when other people are busy begging for food from the ground, the farmer is thinking about how to make better use of the power of the earth.  All things are born, but the earth will not take the initiative to grow those grains for the human beings, so how to use the power of the earth to feed themselves is what humans have to do.

    "Look, this is a new grain I discovered, and it's also edible. I call it ïø, which is also thanks to your inspiration! It turns out that there are so many grains that can be eaten in this world."

    "Shen Nong tasted the herbs, and the five grains are in the herbs. If you don't try to eat them, how will you know what effect it has?"

    Shi Jing suddenly remembered, and said, "Do you know the grain of wheat?"

    "Mai, of course I know!"

    In this era, wheat has already appeared in the history of mountains and seas, and it was passed from far away from the Western Wilderness. Of course, the Queen Mother of the Western Wilderness was the first to plant it, and it was brought to the Central Plains during the tribute.

    The oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty indicated that wheat had already been widely planted at that time. Of course, I don¡¯t know whether when it was planted in the Shang Dynasty, it was the same as that in the Zhou Dynasty.

    By the end of the Warring States period, some eastern and southern people even believed that wheat was poisonous.

    Shi Jing didn't have any special meaning in asking this question, but said: "Wu used to say that wheat should be available in the Central Plains, and that it can be made into wheat noodles to eat. Both hemp and wheat skins are good things"

    Since Shi Jing is very curious about the appearance of wheat, compared to the words that are occasionally swearing by concubines, I think this thing should grow sharper, and then I saw that it was indeed Mango, as if there were needles growing on the rice.

    "Wu Wu should be very happy to bring this back I don't know if this thing will survive in the south."

    But when they were watching the land and grain here, there were messengers from all directions, and bad news came.

    A small country has launched a plundering war, attacking the land and tribes belonging to the Central Plains.
