Chapter 1621： Agricultural black technology from Daming

When Marin returned to Aurich, Wagner's Second Corps and Jurgen's Cossack Cavalry Corps were already escorting the first batch of Hungarian peasant uprising prisoners to the "Silver Mine City" Goslar. There, the huge dormitory area for the Hungarian captive miners is also under construction.

Today, two months before the autumn harvest, most of the serfs are very busy, and they just levied over to build a house for the family of Hungarian peasants.

These peasants in Europe are really unreliable. After they planted the wheat, they basically ignored it. Then, until the autumn harvest, it will not go to the ground to buy. The long months from spring tillage to autumn harvest, the serfs had nothing to do. Generally this time, the owners of the manor will either levy them to do something else. Or, the monarchs seized the opportunity to send the people to fight for territory ...

At this time, Marin recruited the serfs to work, which was not common in this era. The only difference is that for Marin, Marin will distribute food ...

This is not counted in the rations distributed in the ordinary manor, but the extra food! The recruited serfs were not happy at first, because, doing this heavy work, the body consumed a lot and ate too much. If they were recruited for free, the serfs would lose money.

Fortunately, Marin distributed additional food and managed enough to make them very happy. Because, if they come to the construction site to eat, then their own rations at home can be saved. In this way, children can eat more.

Of course, that's how Marin can do this. After all, there is just too much food in Beihai!

...

Just when Marin hesitated to tell Caesar the truth and canceled his request to regularly visit the study room to understand the eight Chinese characters, suddenly the guard came to report-another cargo ship in Panama City came back. It was loaded with goods shipped back from China and a letter from Kongtai Governor Kong Tai ...

Marin took the letter and found that it was written in Chinese characters after unpacking-this is also for confidentiality.

In the letter, Kong Tai happily told Marin that Marlin had told him to look for the car, and he finally sent someone to find it in the Central Plains area of ​​Daming!

Aoza was an ancient seed drill, which was invented by Zhao Guo when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. This thing is a bit like the plow truck Marin saw before, and consists of three plowshares. But unlike the plough car invented by Prad, the three ploughshares of the car are juxtaposed. Moreover, the plow heads on the limpets are very shallow, and when they are walking in the field with a cow, they can only open a very shallow ditch, which is just enough to plant the depth.

Then, the funnel hanging behind the three ploughshares will pass through the hollow tube and sow seeds behind the ploughhead. And the farmers in the back can take advantage of the opportunity to kick back the soil with their feet and gently step on it, even if it is done.

Because the plough head is shallow, the animals can be pulled up easily, so dozens of acres can be planted every day ...

"Isn't it more than 600 acres a day?" Marin was puzzled.

This is also Marin's ignorance, misled by the novels of later generations. In fact, the number of acres acres can sow per day is one hectare, not 667 acres.

This is a matter of common sense. The introduction to the car on Du Niang ’s encyclopedia must have been written by a fool who did not understand agriculture at all. What is the concept of planting 667 acres a day? Marin remembers that seeding machines driven by walking tractors in later generations could only plant three or four acres per hour, and dozens of acres a day.

Can ancient technology exceed tractor efficiency by more than 600 acres a day? Simply nonsense!

The actual situation is-the planting quantity of Aquilegia per day is one hectare. In ancient times, one hectare was 50 acres. In other words, the real efficiency of Aquilegia is up to 50 acres per day. This is still the Mu of the Han Dynasty, which is smaller than the Mu of later generations. Therefore, the real efficiency of Aquilegia is a maximum of 40-50 acres per day.

Of course, this is already amazing. Because, in case of artificial planting, it is good to dig a pit manually and then bury the seeds. And sowing ... It's quick to sprinkle it casually, but you can sow the seeds by hand, it must be uneven. Sometimes, a few seeds come together to compete for nutrition, and then everyone grows badly ...

After reading the introduction in Kong Tai's letter, Marin was relieved-that's right! To be honest, in the previous life I read those novels that said that the car was planted 667 acres every day, and Marin was scared. After all, 667 acres is not a small area. He remembered that the land in the small village of his family in his last life was only six or seven hundred acres (excluding vegetable plots). The car is so awesome, is this the rhythm of planting the farmland of a village in a day?

Moreover, the seeder driven by the walking tractor at home in Malin's last life planted dozens of acres of land a day. The car is better than the horse, and it will not be stronger than the tractor. Because the tractor does not need to rest, but the cattle and horses need it.

Therefore, the most ambitious data is the planting of Aquilegia at this time up to forty or fifty acres.

However, this is already remarkable. Moreover, with the seeding, the wheat in the wheat field grows more orderly, and will not be crowded together to grab nutrition, which helps to increase production.

Of course, this only applies to the dry land in the north. Southerners grow rice by planting rice seedlings manually, and no seed drill is needed. Because, when transplanting rice seedlings, the seedlings are manually adjusted into rows and rows. And, don't worry about some seeds failing to grow due to poor development. After all, when transplanting seedlings, you must choose seedlings that grow well and insert them in the ground. Bad seedlings are thrown away ...

However, dry land cannot do this. Because the seedlings grow in the paddy field, it is easier to pull out and plug in. After all, the fields were softened by blisters. If it is a dry and hard land, pulling the wheat seedlings casually may damage the roots of the wheat seedlings.

Therefore, wheat can only be sown in the northern drylands. Sometimes, the wheat seeds will grow together, and several wheat plants will grow together.

However, this does not matter. Because, during the period from sowing to receiving, Chinese farmers will often go to the field to remove weeds. If you encounter several wheat plants growing together, you can also adjust it manually. Or, simply, remove the worst-growing plant among the several wheat plants grown together as a weed. In this way, there is enough space and fertilizer for the good-growing wheat ...

And this point, the European farmers of this era obviously did not realize, nor understand. Therefore, wheat production in Europe has been very low. For the northern part of Germany, fortunately, it is mainly planted with rye that is as tenacious as life. Don't worry about it. Otherwise, God knows how much can be harvested ...

For now, wheat cultivation in the North Sea country is mainly based on seeding and hole sowing, which is very inefficient and unscientific. Therefore, although there is a complete fertilizer technology for three fertilizers in the later generations, the output is still not high, only four or five hundred pounds. If the seeding technology is used, it is estimated that the output can also rise. Of course, the removal of weeds and the weakest of the competing wheat plants in the field requires guidance from Chinese farmers. At this point, even if Marin knew the principle, but it was specific, it had to be taught by field experts. After all, Marin is the ruler, and he may teach the serfs to work in the field by himself instead of ...

...

The first two letter papers mainly introduce Aquilegia. According to Kong Tai, the South has never been able to use Azalea because of the rice transplanting. Therefore, Kong Tai's people still sent people to the Central Plains area north of Daming to find the car.

However, the Ming Dynasty prohibited Fan Yi from walking freely in the interior of Daming. Therefore, Kong Tai spent money to hire Daming locals to go north, and then found the car.

And ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Kong Tai hired talents from the Ming Dynasty. Because ordinary people have no right to walk freely around Daming. Only show talents have the privilege of free "study" to all parts of the country. Of course, hiring talent is not cheap. After all, others are people with identities. Do n’t think about lifting people and jinshi, they are already the masters of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not short of money. Just giving away the proceeds of the land is enough for them to fly. Only the talented class is not qualified to be an official, and many people are on hand to accept employment. I've only heard of the poor show talents, but I haven't heard of the poor people or the poor scholars ...

However, Kong Tai hired the talents who went to the north to find the car, not only found the car in the Central Holland province, but also found a harvesting artifact-Mai SM ...

It is said that this harvesting artifact called wheat samarium can harvest six or seven acres of wheat every day. If two men cooperate, the maximum one day can harvest 20 acres of wheat ...

"Nima, what black technology is this?" Marin was taken aback. Harvesting 20 acres a day is just too scary, okay?

You know, if you harvest wheat manually, you can harvest more than one acre a day. More skilled masters can also harvest 2 acres of land. Therefore, every autumn harvest, in order to grab wheat, Marin will send troops to help. Otherwise, if it is dragged for too long, the wheat will rot in the ground when it rains.

And this kind of "black technology" that can harvest six or seven acres of wheat a day, and even the two people can harvest 20 acres a day, is shocked to Marin ...
