Chapter Twenty-ninth Harvests and Hundreds of Workers Are Not Villains (3)
The child who made the bird slip and Meng Sheng was amazed by the fact that he had six fingers on his hand, so he naturally had six fingers that he beat the child with the one taught by Gongsun Ze.
He was taught by others, so his understanding of the Mohist is that he understood this kind of correction and tampering.
However, these corrections and tampering did not make people like Qin Huali feel unhappy. On the contrary, it also made it rare to integrate some ideas that could only be understood by self-understanding.
Just a few simple words of communication have made Qin Huali full of curiosity about Shi, but he didn't know that Shi was not a real Mo at all, but a self-proclaimed person.
If there are extraordinary people, there must be extraordinary teachers.
Qin Huali was sure that this fellow disciple whom he had not met must be an extraordinary person.
Looking at the horseshoe pits and tripping ropes near the wheat field, he asked again: "Children, these horseshoe pits are not used to protect against wild animals."
Six fingers had already confirmed the identity of the other party's Mozhe, so they no longer covered it up and smiled thief.
"Old man, Brother Shi said that in winter, princes and nobles like to hunt horses, and this method of staying in wheat offends some people, so we asked us to dig out the horse hoof pit."
"The nobles in the office, Qing Cang, must take a car, and the winter Japanese comes to hunting season. If they ask these horse hoofs, they will be broken and they will not dare to come. If they ask, they will say that it is to prevent elks, dogs and rats from harming wheat seedlings, and they will not be able to say anything."
"I bribed some money from those who perform martial arts in winter and didn't work as a school venue here."
Qin Huali shook her head and laughed, knowing that it was not easy for a commoner to survive at this time, so it was understandable that she did so.
I was even more surprised when I looked at the wheat seedlings again.
Planting wheat in winter and green wheat in the first lunar month is a strange thing, but it is rare that wheat is so scattered and not sowed.
At this time, the Central Plains and other places had already discovered that sowing was better than sprinkling seeds all over the sky. As the saying goes, "After planting but not moving, the stems grow but not growing, and the seedlings are stealing."
But I know that it is known, it is still too early to become popular.
At this time, if the public fields are not well cultivated, the serfs in the well fields are directly held accountable; if the serfs do not plant well, the serfs must be held accountable.
Besides, if you want to change something, the most difficult thing is to change people's ideas. Even if you want to improve farming technology, you dare not say that it was summarized by yourself.
For example, the peasants in the hundreds of families all pretend to be the inheritance of Shennong, and they dare not say that they wrote it themselves. On the one hand, they are worried about being troubled by others, and on the other hand, they are falsely claimed to be the legacy of Shennong, which is also easy to promote. Kunnong is more willing to believe in ancient things or the sayings of ghosts and gods.
Tian Zheng dared not change it, was unwilling to change it, and was not allowed to change it.
After the change, how should we eat the ability passed down from this bloodline? Therefore, even the peasant family must pretend to be the ones who were made by Shennong, otherwise the Nongzheng would definitely be dissatisfied and go to obstruct.
This is not the most difficult part. The most difficult part is that ox plowing and plowshares were not popular at this time, and things like carts were still far away. There were more than 100 acres of land in a row, and if they were really lined up horizontally and vertically, they would not be busy with the stooping seeds.
Since Qin Huali felt that she was suitable for great talent, she believed in her heart that the so-called Sumai must have a reason, and it is impossible for her to lose any grains.
It was said before that spring was planted and harvested in autumn. No one thought that it could be planted in autumn and harvested in spring and summer. Now it seems that the wheat is green and does not freeze to death as everyone thinks. Since we have survived winter, we can harvest it in spring and summer.
What he was curious about now was how these people planted such a large area of land in a row. If it were public fields and thousands of serfs worked together, it was still possible, but these were obviously private fields.
After asking out his doubts, Liu Finger stopped and squatted on the ground.
Qin Huali knew that the child wanted to explain it to him. He was in front of Mo Zi for a long time. Sometimes when Mo Zi said that he often squatted on the ground and outlined something with wooden sticks.
For example, he still remembers how Zi Mozi explained to him what a round is. He drew a circle with two wooden sticks on the ground and told him: "The round is the same as the length."
In other words, a circle is a collection of all points with the center of the circle as the same length of the radius. If you just say it but don’t draw it, it is difficult to understand the bird slippery climax; if you talk while drawing, you will wake up instantly.
He still remembered that he was fascinated by the circle on the ground at that time. He didn't expect that after the age of tens of years, he would squat down to see what a child was painting.
The disciples behind him didn't think it was different. Some of the families with a lot of land also squatted down and surrounded the six fingers in the middle.
Liufing is not old, but after experiencing the last time, Da stuttered in front of the village community, he was surrounded by dozens of people and no longer took it seriously.
He squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. The plains that the rivers here hit were extremely fine. Grab a handful of them, and even if they were holding it in a tube shape, they would continue to flow out.
"Brother Shi said that everything has a downward heart, which is a heavenly ambition. So the same is true for seeds. But if the bottom is full and the tube is blocked, then the seeds will not fall."
As he said that, he dug out some sand and soil with his left hand, which was connected to the tube that was held in his palm. Sure enough, the sand and soil that had not yet flowed downward in his hand no longer fell.
"In this way, you will carry the wheat seeds on your body and pinch them in your hands with a small groove, so that the flowing wheat will naturally block the wheat seeds from the flow downwards. We will use a small stone hammer and gently tap it, and the wheat seeds will be shaken down from the gap left in front and back. Over time, the groove made of wood will reveal a gap again, and the wheat seeds on your back will fall down to fill the grooves."
"Every time I hit this small grooved wooden block with a stone hammer, a few seeds will fall from both sides. If I fall too much, it will fall naturally on it, but it will not flow out like water."
"Two cows pulled Shi Ge in front to make a simple plowshare. We followed behind and knocked the groove with a stone hammer to fall down the wheat, just in time to keep up with the speed of the cattle. This would make dozens of acres of land a day, unlike scattering seeds, and four people could not catch up with one who was hitting the wooden block with a stone hammer."
Qin Huali was even more surprised, not only by this simple but effective idea, but by the children in this village and community who could speak so clearly without any timidity.
As the child said, he thought silently, tried it with two hands, and finally understood.
If it is a wooden pipe with seeds piled up below, it will not be possible for the seeds above to fall?
With a gentle tap, the top seeds are shaken out. After a long time, the wooden pipe will definitely leak out. The wheat on the back will automatically fall down until the wooden pipe is blocked again.
This goes on and on, and keeps filling up.
Neither you have to reach out to grab the wheat or bend down to remove the seeds. As long as you knock it rhythmically, follow the cow.
Many disciples of the family also understood and nodded, "This is really a good idea. It's a very simple truth. In this way, one person can be used as four people! And both men and women can do it, so they don't have to bend over and cause back pain."
Liuzhi listened to the praise, smiled on his face, and couldn't help but praise him, "Since it is in line with the will of heaven, it is of course good. Brother Shi said that although this method is fast, it is still a bit insufficient. After Mr. Mozi comes back, he wants Mr. Mozi to make a big wood. The same principle is, but it is pulled by a cattle and horse, and you can cultivate a hundred weeks of acres of land in a day."
"This kind of knocking with hands will be used on hillsides or land with many stones. The kind of kind that is pulled by cattle and horse will be used on flat land. One person and one cattle can cultivate three hundred acres of land, and then use this method of staying wheat. If you ripen three years and you will have less hunger in the world. This is the method of our ink-like people to help the world, so that the world can know that as long as you know the will of heaven, you can save a lot of effort, plant more land, and spin more yarn."
Liu Finger stood up and said in a tone that was not like a child: "Didn't we Mo, just to eliminate the disadvantages of the world and promote the benefits of the world? In this world, there are political affairs, national affairs, farming, hundreds of crafts, and military wars... If we want to promote the benefits of the world, we must do our best like building a wall. Since we Mo is a pioneer, we must understand political affairs, national affairs, farming, and military wars! Only in this way can we benefit the world. How can we only benefit the world?"
This sentence was obviously not what he thought, especially the tone and eyebrows when he spoke it, which was clearly imitating the person who said this.
He was young but wanted to pretend to be a little adult. All the people who saw it laughed and touched his head to show goodwill.
