Hearing the previous conversation moderately and talking about the expectations of the villagers, he had already started talking after drinking a little wine.

"Shi, the Mozhe took us from Shangqiu to Peiyi and opened fields and cultivated them in Nesang. It was very good. If we really said that, we were not dissatisfied with it, we just looked forward to two things."

Shi picked up the wine bowl and toasted it, and became interested, and asked, "Tell me, don't you just say anything?"

Wei shook his head and said, "Our village community is different from other village communities. We have experienced wheat harvest once and have heard too many legends of paradise, so what we think may not be what other village communities think."

Shi laughed loudly, sipped a little wine and said, "In the end, I thought about the same thing. What two things do you think about?"

Reed put down the chopsticks, pointed at one of them and said, "Iron."

Then he pointed to another point and said, "Although the fields are now blooming, there is no bamboo deed to write down the number of fields in each family. We spent a lot of effort to open our own fields, but if this field does not have a contract, we will feel uneasy."

"These are only two things that the village community is looking forward to the most."

Shi smashed his lips, and unconsciously licked his upper lip with his tongue, saying, "Iron tools... may have to wait for a while. But it's also fast. After the wheat harvests and summer seeds, it should be OK to explain the benefits to everyone. I think you want seeds..."

Reed waved his hand in a unique posture of drunken people and said, "We are all doing farming jobs, so where can we not know? It will take several years to plant it, so there is no hurry."

"We really want to have iron tools. How much can we open in a day when we are gnawing mulberry and opening fields with bones and wood? You showed us the bronze ware before, saying that iron ware is easier to use, cheaper, and more solid than bronze ware... Everyone is looking forward to having this thing now."

"Since you can do it, why don't you tell everyone about the benefits now? Where can everyone not go for the sake of profit?"

"I don't know about other villages, but if I really want to make iron tools, the people in our villages will definitely bring their own dry food."

Speaking of this, Reed thought of the plows used to plow oxen and horses.

If you say it is easy to use, it is really easy to use. It is much more convenient than the previous tools, especially the plow that bent its body, which can be pulled by a cow and is also very convenient to control.

Compared to those he had seen that he had needed two cows, it was much more convenient to pull the single shaft of a four-horse chariot.

But the plowshare is hardwood or stone. I heard that there are too many iron plows, and I can't help but compare it with this imagined object.

People in the village and community are familiar with Shi, and they met him two years ago. They heard him the most, so they are looking forward to those farm tools made of iron tools.

Although the clam shells, bones, and wooden farm tools have always been like this, who doesn’t think of the utensils made by Shi and Mozhe?

When I was in Shangqiu, I used a stone hammer to shake the wheat seeds.

When I came here, one of the few trolleys was first given to the village where the reeds were located. It was indeed very fast, but the small plow corners buried below were made of wood and could easily break.

It was fine at the beginning, but after a long time, it was soaked by the damp soil, it was far less sharp than before, and it was much slower to pull the cow and horse.

Unlike other villages, other villages have used some tools produced by the Mozhe now and were satisfied when they started planting maize.

But Wei and others had heard of more mysterious things. This idea of ​​wanting better based on imagination made them pay great attention to the legendary iron tools and agricultural tools.

After talking a little while drinking, Shi frowned and said, "I'm also anxious about this matter. I just have to wait until after this summer planting. How many people are there in your village? Where can I? I have to make this a major event in Pei County, and everyone cares about it before it can be done."

"We can rely on you. This is impossible to accomplish with this little bit of ink. Don't be anxious. If you really want to do it, it will be soon. By the way, it's okay for the village community to reclaim and plant this year, right?"

Speaking of this, Wei was a little surprised.

Their village migrated from Shangqiu to this place and divided a wasteland in Nesang.

If you plant corn in spring as usual, the grass from the wasteland must be removed, otherwise there will be no good harvest.

However, choosing to plant winter wheat is much simpler.

In autumn, most of the grass has gone through their lives and burned them to plant wheat with fire. In winter, when the wheat is tilled, it is time for the weeds to grow.

The weather is good this year. When the spring heats up and the weeds begin to turn green, the wheat has grown taller and covered the rest of the grass.

The mulberry field is also a good fertile land, and there are methods to accumulate fermented manure. These manures are used in a concentrated manner. The best land in the village is estimated to produce three stones per mu.

Mu is the small zhou mu at this time, and stone is also the small zhou stone at this time, but the yield per mu has increased a lot compared to previous planting techniques.

Originally, wheat was just coarse grain, and most of it was military ration or used to feed cattle and horses.

Before the millstone, the bran of wheat made the wheat far less attractive than crops like corn, which is unimaginable for people who are used to eating pasta, but it has always been like this for people like reed who grew up in this situation.

In the past, Jiran set the grain prices in the official market for Goujian, and some clues can be seen.

A goods of millet, stone seventy; Yi goods of millet, stone sixty; B goods of red beans, stone fifty; D goods of rice, millet, stone forty; Wu goods of wheat, stone thirty; Already goods of soybeans, stone twenty.

As for Yueguo alone, the best food is millet, yellow rice, and red beans.

The worst ones are wheat and soybeans.

At this time, there is also a saying that wheat rice and bean soup are the food of bitches.

Only bitches eat wheat and soybeans, while rich and nobles use millet and yellow rice as top-quality food. If the emperor of Zhou invites the ministers to sell rice, they will be ridiculed. Instead, using millet rice is in line with the Zhou rituals.

However, as Shihe Mozhe promoted foods such as mills, soy milk, tofu, and soybean oil, it was completely reversed in places like Peixian.

Millet and yellow rice are already behind wheat and soybeans, not because they are expensive and wheat beans are cheap.

Although the land reclaimed last year has not been harvested, the wheat is ripe and firm, and some people have tried to bite the wheat grains and clatter.

It can be seen that if it does not rain this year, there will be a good harvest. Even if it rains, there is a scientific way to prevent rain from being exposed to wheat. As long as it does not rain for a month, the harvest will not be bad.

Wei and others tasted the taste of wheat flour food early. Although they couldn't bear to leave the bran, they were better than millet and brown rice when mixed in it, not to mention the strange ways to eat it.

The wheat harvest is coming soon, this year's wheat is enough to be eaten until next year, and the previous season of soybeans can be planted, so life will be much better than before.

The only drawback is that the seeds of black corn are insufficient. Otherwise, it is best to plant black corn after the wheat. In autumn, it saves time to go outside to mow grass and feed cattle and horses.

When Wei saw that he was talking, he asked, "What do the village community think about the fact that Mozhe asked everyone to grow soybeans?"

Wei spread his hands and smiled and said, "What else can I think? The other pavilion leaders have already said that they may not catch up with the harvest. Whoever dares to plant the grains without harvesting? Besides, there is nothing wrong with planting beans. If the ink buys them, they will keep the oil and replace them with tofu, which is fine."

There is no iron in Peidi now, let alone iron pot, a standard item for the farming people, the way to eat soybean oil is really unreasonable, but it is also delicious after boiling and pouring on various cooked and pickled vegetables.

Then I heard a sentence that seemed normal but extremely fantastic.

"The best food that everyone is looking forward to now is wheat cakes with solidified lard and mutton oil with salt. If you have such rice, I can eat two liters."

"The next thing is the wheat flour food that is heated and fried with soybean oil."

"I remember when you were in the village, you liked to go to the river to catch crabs... In fact, the one who had the least wealth and land at home only ate crabs, fish, shellfish and other things. There was no oil, so it tasted bad."

Shi held the wine bowl and laughed, and understood the meaning of it.

Oils are the food with the highest calorie content, and crabs... don't have any oils. From the perspective of energy output ratio, whether the energy consumed by catching crabs and eating crabs can be balanced and the energy replenished can be balanced.

Nowadays, people can’t eat any fat in a year. The best food is wheat flour cakes with lard and mutton oil with salt...

Wei put down the wine bowl that had taken a sip and smiled, "Oh, someone in the village said at that time, you are a nobleman, otherwise where would you be willing to eat those things? Give you a can of lard you don't like, but instead they took Liuzhi and they went to catch crabs... and took mustard to eat."

When talking about what happened a year and a half ago, both of them laughed.

"So, everyone has no resentment in the matter of planting beans?"

Wei patted his chest and said, "Absolutely no! I originally thought that the best rice that Mr. Song could eat was corn rice with meat and fat. Later I realized that it was actually tofu and fried wheat cakes with soy sauce."

After answering the right questions, he finally couldn't help but say, "But now that the field is opened, who is this field? If you Mozhe is in charge of the distribution, what if... what if we do someone else's land seal in the future?"

"Although everyone has not said this, I know that if the land capacity is settled, everyone will work harder. If we do other people seal the land, we will not want to."

I was still clear-headed and thought that this matter was too soon. As long as the news of the Chu people coming north was sure to come out, the Mozhe would dare to do this, but it was not convenient to say it now.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "If you now put the public land tax on each acre, and then divide the public land, keeping the original tax unchanged, everyone will object? The amount and the interests of the Mozhe have calculated. I only ask you, but you don't listen to me now, and don't consider your closeness to us. Will the village community have any objections?"
