Chapter 696 Territorial Changes (2)
Everyone looked at a big tree that made a sound by the roadside. The bushes of the big tree were pushed away, and a child's head came in. This was a boy, about twelve or three years old, with a dark and thin face, covered in dust, and his hair was about an inch long, messy, like a magpies' nest.
The sudden appearance of the child made the guards responsible for the guards around Zhengliang a little ashamed, especially the guards pretended to be black hawks, who were even more ashamed and blushed. There was an omission of warning under their noses, and hiding in the tree was their old profession. As a result, some people seem to be even more powerful than them, and they are still children. How can they bear it?
"Sanlang, hurry up and salute to the adults." The person in charge of leading the way clearly recognized the little boy on the tree, so he hurriedly said. Then he ran directly to Masara and Togo Heiji and apologized: "Please forgive me, sir, that child is Saburo of this village, the most naughty child in the village."
This person who led the way was obviously a smart person. Before leaving, the head of the head once told him to serve the adults in front of him carefully. Just from the expression of the head of the head, you can see that these people have a very low status. Then look at the more than ten people following him (in fact, less than half a mile away, there were hundreds of troops ready to support him at any time, and they were on standby. It was obvious that these people were all guards of the adults in front of him, so he was really worried that these adults would blame the little boy in anger.
"You are not the abominable lord." The little boy fell to the ground like a monkey in a few seconds, and then walked over after getting Zhengliang's permission. However, the first sentence he said almost made the person who led the way fall to the ground in fear.
"Oh? How did you see it?" Zhengliang asked with interest. It was obvious that since the last time the wealthy clan who had just been confiscated by Zhengliang, brought people to rob the girl, the village has strengthened its vigilance, and this little boy is responsible for the vigilance.
"You all carry weapons. That hateful lord cannot bring weapons." The little boy said carelessly with his big eyes, "Or otherwise, I would have called the alarm long ago." After saying that, he pointed to the big tree he was hiding just now. There were probably some things on that big tree that sounded alarm sounded.
However, this little boy's words made Masayori's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but sigh at the little boy's ability to observe. In fact, the territory regulations stipulate that only specific personnel of the Luo family can carry weapons, and general corpses are not allowed to carry weapons without authorization. However, today Masayori and others are swaying in the city of Komachi with samurai swords, and almost no one noticed this problem.
The only person who was alert was the person in charge who came to the scene to handle the conflict in the meeting hall. Afterwards, he even came directly to test it. After learning about Ah Li's identity, he immediately arranged Zhengliang and others to the back hall of the Food House for dinner. But the person in charge was a detective and could find that Zhengliang and others were different from his profession. Now this child discovered something abnormal when he first met Zhengliang and others, which made Zhengliang sigh.
While sighing, Zhengliang immediately said, "Then who do you think we are?"
"I don't know. But I'll know soon." The little boy's eyes turned, he shook his head first, and then said with great certainty.
"Hahaha... let's go, take me into the village and visit it. I promise I won't hurt you." Masayoro couldn't help but laugh.
Then the crowd continued to follow the mountain road to Qiantian Village.
"Good man, please see the master." Not far from the entrance of the village, a group of people who had just received the person who led the way ran back in advance to welcome Zhengliang. The leader was their village head. The village head was obviously reminded by the person who led the way and knew the dignity of Zhengliang and others. So as soon as he saw Zhengliang and others, he immediately came to salute. On the contrary, the dozen or so boy scouts behind him and the villagers looked at Zhengliang and others nervously.
"Let them all disperse." Zhengliang was not here to hold a welcome meeting, and there was no need for formalism, so he directly asked the village head to send the villagers away, but he simply did not enter the village, but turned around and went into the fields.
The earth in May was full of vitality, and even the soil under her feet was fragrant. After walking a field path, Zhengliang simply took off the straw sandals on his feet, and then walked barefoot on the ridge covered with soil and weeds.
Heiji Togo, who was behind him, frowned when he saw this, obviously felt that Masayoshi's behavior was a bad reputation. But after thinking of Masayoshi's character, he had to follow Masayoshi slowly behind him. Several old farmers who were forcibly pulled to accompany him in the distance were extremely surprised. An adult master made such a move? Masayoshi felt that they were approachable.
Zhengliang carefully observed these fields. It was already mid-May, and the paddy fields were planted with green rice, while dry wheat was planted on the slightly higher mountainous land.
At present, Japan basically implements farming methods that are mature every year. In fact, it can be used to farm as longitude or reseeding in the latitude and longitude of Japan.
Multi-seeding or crop rotation refers to the cultivation method that sows and harvests more than twice a year on the same piece of land. Multi-seeding can make full use of land per unit area to increase the yield of farmland. For example, combining winter wheat with some spring or summer crops, taking appropriate technical measures to increase the number of planting and harvesting within one or several years.
Now the Interior Affairs Office has sent people to experiment with this farming method in the experimental manor established by Takayama in the Oddh Takayama. Once successful, it will be fully promoted to the territory (although Zhengliang knows that this farming method will definitely be successful, after all, this is ancient times, and many factors are different from later generations. Once forced promotion leads to mistakes, many people will starve to death. So to be on the safe side, Zhengliang decided to find a small place to experiment and then gradually promote it).
There are ditches of different sizes distributed in the fields. The ditches connecting a stream in the center of the field are particularly deep ditches, and the ridges on both sides of the ditches are even reinforced with inferior cement. At the intersection of the end of the ditches and the stream, Zhengliang also found a water truck.
This is a water-turning wheel made by Luoshi Wooden Workshop. Its structure is similar to that of a human-turning wheel, but the power is different. First, dig a deep and narrow ditch on the water shore and set the water wheel in it. Extend the pedal shaft of the wheel and make a vertical wheel (upright wheel). Next to the vertical wheel, a wooden shaft is installed, and two up and down lying wheels (horizontal lying wheels) are made on the shaft. The upper lying wheel and the vertical wheel are the head wheels, and the two struts intersect and intersect. The water is used to stimulate the lower lying wheel.
The water rushes the lower lying wheel. When the lower wheel moves, it drives the upper lying wheel, and then drives the vertical wheel that is intersected with the upper lying wheel. Using the principle of gear connection and the principle of gear connection, it drives overturning in the ditch on the side, and the water is transported to the shore.
Or the lower lying wheel can be converted into a separate vertical wheel at the front of the car, so that its web support is also intersected with the upper lying wheel, and then stimulate water to push it, and the effect is the same. You can also convert the lower lying wheel to a push rod and push it from the livestock.
The biggest advantage of water turning and turning is that it saves effort. Because it uses the power of nature, human and animal power can be used for other production activities. Moreover, this method of water transfer and irrigation can be used day and night, and the convenience is that people turn and turn and roll.
This kind of water wheel is a unique irrigation tool for the Luo family and is not allowed to flow out of the Luo family territory. When the Da Nei family formed an alliance with the Luo family, they sent people to ask for the manufacturing map of this water wheel, but they were directly rejected by Zhengliang. Even if the other party paid a great advantage, Zhengliang would not sell it. This tool can be said to be a tool related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Zhengliang would not strengthen the strength of the potential enemy because of a little profit.
In order to keep it confidential, all the water trucks in the Luo Family Territory are manufactured by the Luo Family Woodworking Workshop located at the foot of No Takayama, Matsuura County, Hibikiku. They are distributed and installed by the Interior Government Office. The cost of the water truck is negotiated and solved by local residents. Of course, in order to promote the use of this water truck, the method of purchasing by the leader is allowed to use it first and then pay the fee within a certain period of time. But it cannot be free in any case. After all, the free things are, the less cherished the people, and the Luo Family's workshop also has to recover the cost.
During the subsequent inspection, Zhengliang saw two plowing oxen. These two plowing oxen were the shared property of the village and were bought back from the Interior Affairs Office Pavilion with all the villagers. Therefore, almost all the villagers in the village regarded them as treasures.
Although the two oxen look a little tired now (after all, the two oxen are responsible for the spring plowing of all the fields in the village. Even if they are rotating on the fields, they are exhausted), the treatment they usually receive should be good, after all, the oxen is not difficult to raise. As long as there is sufficient grass and sweet stream water, and occasionally add some mixed grains to them (such as the husks polished with rice, grains, etc. are mixed with some things that oxen like to eat), they can be fully fed.
