Chapter 232 Opportunity Appears

Xiangping Military Settlement

The second day after the three Qin brothers returned from the war, they went to the fields. There was no rest for the exiles.

After the appearance of the curved pear, Lv Songli brought out the iron rake.

After the long iron rake appeared, it was very convenient to use cattle to pull it, and it was very convenient to break the soil, rake the soil, and rake the grass.

After the two farm tool samples were made, they were submitted to the higher authorities by Mo Lianfeng.

This matter was related to the autumn harvest of Liaodong County, and the higher authorities attached great importance to it.

Afterwards, the Liaodong County officials summoned all the blacksmith shops to work overtime to make these two farm tools, and then distributed them. The curved pear and iron rake were popularized throughout Liaodong County.

It was just a bit of a waste of cattle.

The cattle in the entire Liaodong County suffered. They had been plowing in the spring for many years, but they were not as tired as this year!

On this day, the Qin family was assigned a sowing job by Mo Lianfeng.

The three Qin brothers made contributions in supporting Liaoyang this time, but because of their status as exiles, the credit was all credited to him.

Mo Lianfeng: It was very sudden.

Now he likes the Qin family very much, and this family brings him good luck.

Therefore, this spring plowing, Mo Lianfeng arranged for them to sow the easiest job.

Ordinary people can't get such a good job, let alone they are exiles. Exiles usually do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

But who makes them so likable, he arranged it like this, what's wrong?

If you have any opinions, come and tell him!

Anyway, he won't listen!

Mo Lianfeng inspected it, pointed out a few people who were slacking off, and finally looked at the diligent Qin family, nodded secretly, and then took the whip to the steward's resting place.

Lu Songli was given a cloth bag of rice seeds. She realized that farming at this time was direct sowing, not the planting method of raising seedlings first and then transplanting.

They all sowed directly, and then replanted when they encountered those that did not germinate.

Usually, when replanting, it is a bit late for farming, so the harvest of replanted rice is usually not very good.

In contrast, the rice seedling transplanting method has too many advantages.

First, it can extend the number of days of growth, and second, it can reduce the amount of seeds used.

Second, it can extend the growth period, increase the light time, and increase the yield.

In addition, reasonable dense planting can maximize the use of photosynthesis, and under the same conditions, higher yields can be obtained.

This method is particularly suitable for the south where rice is harvested twice a year and Hainan where rice is harvested three times a year. Because transplanting after seedling cultivation can reduce the reproductive period, the seedlings can mature one month earlier after seedling cultivation, which is convenient for freeing up land to plant crops in the second half of the year.

Lu Songli decided to talk to Mo Lianfeng about the new method of rice transplanting.

Her idea is very simple, that is, to transfer knowledge and let the people increase the yield of farming.

From the information she learned, it is known that the yield of rice per mu of land is only two or three hundred kilograms.

You know, this is the black soil of Northeast China. This yield is a bit unworthy of the name of the granary in later generations.

After Lu Songli told Mo Lianfeng about the rice transplanting method, he said, "Why don't you give it a try, Lord Mo?"

After the appearance of Quyuanli and the big iron rake, in Mo Lianfeng's eyes, Lu Songli is a person who is proficient in farming, and he attaches great importance to her proposal.

But she said that this matter is too serious. It is not a matter of one or two acres of land. If it is not done well, the harvest this autumn may be in trouble.

"Lord Mo only needs to take out two or three acres of land to try it out. This should not be difficult." Lu Songli is not the kind of impatient person who will work hard right away. As for the experimental field, it should be done first.

Mo Lianfeng immediately decided, "Just as you said, let's take out three acres of land to try it out. You will be the guide for the seedling cultivation in the afternoon."

"Okay."

At noon, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and it was time to call it a day.

The convicts came to the small canal in twos and threes to wash their hands and feet.

"I'm so tired!" Qin Zhao muttered while stretching.

The other person next to him looked at him hatefully and left. I don't know what the Qin family came from, but they are favored by the steward Mo Lianfeng, so I can't afford to offend them.

Gu Zhang next to him was speechless. Sowing seeds is the easiest job, and you don't even have to bend your waist. Don't you think this will make you hate me?

Qin Zhao felt that he was very innocent. He was telling the truth. He was sowing seeds with injuries and was very tired.

"Old three, let's go back."

The Qin family members also washed up, and Qin Heng called him.

As soon as Qin Zhao returned, he collapsed on a chair beside him, groaning there, and ordered Qin Yu to massage his legs.

He cried to his son about the hard work of farming, and took the opportunity to teach him that he should study hard with Aunt Six, and there was no future in farming.

After massaging his legs, he also asked him to massage his waist.

Qin Sheng couldn't stand it any longer, "Third brother, are you feeling weak?"

Qin Zhao was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Nonsense, I'm not weak, you're weak, your whole family is weak!"

Qin Sheng was speechless, "Don't you belong to my whole family? You've scolded yourself too."

Qin Zhao was speechless.

Just then, Lu Songli spoke, "Third brother, this life won't last long, cherish it."

What? No, there's something behind this, Qin Zhao reacted quickly, "Sixth brother's wife, what have you been doing these days when we're not here?"

While speaking, he had a crazy guess in his mind, could it be that they were going to leave Xiangping Military Village? But, is it possible?

Generally speaking, when exiles go to the place of exile, they basically stay there until they die of old age. For example, their current household registration is in Xiangping Military Village, and there will basically be no major changes. Unless one day, they regain their status.

It is not so easy to get rid of their status as exiles. Unless they get the emperor's pardon, how easy is that? Unless they have made great contributions.

Lu Songli smiled. When a master makes a move, he often looks beyond the dilemma.

"Let's wait and see. There should be a result in the next two days."

Qin Zhao just felt that her smile was a bit mysterious.

"Second brother, what has the sixth sister-in-law done these days?" Qin Zhao asked Qin Yan directly. They were not there. The sixth sister-in-law has always been very measured in doing things. She should have consulted the second brother for important matters.

What's the situation? Qin Heng and Qin Sheng looked over, and even Shen Erniang, Cai, Su and others stopped their work.

Qin Yan: He really knows about this.

"You will know in two days." The sixth sister-in-law had discussed what she wanted to do with him. At that time, her stepmother was also present. The main reason was that one of them was the second uncle and the other was the sister-in-law, so they needed to avoid suspicion.

The sixth sister-in-law told him about her plan, although she said at the time that she would give it a try and it might not work. She also said that this move was a precautionary move, and whether it would succeed depended on whether the three brothers of the Qin family could make merit in the Liaoyang battle.

This was the first time he saw the strategy of the sixth sister-in-law, and he felt that it was very forward-looking, and the sixth sister-in-law had a good mentality.

She said at the time that if this plan succeeded, they would be able to leave the Xiangping military settlement soon.

If not, they would find another way.

But she believed that the eldest brother and the third brother, A Sheng, would stand out in this battle.

He couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and she was quite confident in their brothers.

Qin Yan didn't say anything, and Qin Zhao pestered him desperately.

And Qin Sheng looked at Lu Songli eagerly.

Lu Songli understood what he meant, nodded slightly at him, and told him after returning to the house.

Qin Sheng was happy, so he stopped pestering Lu Songli and ran to fetch water. There was not much water left in the water tank. The Qin family had many people, so they had to carry a lot of water every day.

Lv Songli smiled when she saw it.

She had not been idle during this period. She had already seen the opportunity of their Qin family, which was the conflict between the county governor He Xun and the county lieutenant Le Guicai.

When the Xianbei army raided Liaoyang, she realized that the opportunity might have appeared.

Whether it was or not, she would definitely try her best to grab it. As the saying goes, she would try her best whether there was a date or not.

When they chatted last night, they also talked about Le Guicai. Qin Sheng told her that Le Guicai seemed to appreciate their brothers.

At that time, she thought to herself, it was stable.

It was a pity that Wu Ren followed the large army back to Chang'an, but Liu Erxi's ability to do things was not bad. With him and Mo Bing, he should be able to get things done. Because the key to the matter is to spend money, their ability to do things determines the comfort level of the person who was hit.
