40. Shinshu Farmer Kadong Country

If you want to talk about humans, your subjective initiative is usually very poor. But when God forces you to find out, Oh my God! The farmers in the Warring States Period were 666.

Because it still falls frost but not snow, many hazels without ditches and rivers have been abandoned this year. It is useless to plant it. Without water, it is useless to plant anything.

Then in the fields that had been planted on wheat, they were all farmers trembling in the cold wind but trampling on the seedlings side by side. They also did what the farmers in our country in the north do, and they knew that there should be a lot of people.

The wheat and barley are planted into the field. The weather is not too cold before snow. The wheat seedlings are all drawn out, but in order to ensure that the wheat can thrive next year, it will make its root system more developed before spring begins. Farmers will break all the wheat seedlings that grow, so that the wheat seedlings will die without consuming nutrients.

Then, in the spring of next year, wheat with developed roots will grow better and develop faster. This is the so-called "stepping on wheat before spring". Some farmers in Hebei, my country even drive motorcycles and rock mills directly in the ground, which makes it very scientific.

Secondly, on the water-deficient Habitat that cannot be cultivated, the farmers of Shinono may have almost zero scientific and cultural level, but most of them know the "frost-breaking method"!

The Eastern Region of Japan has the Kanto Plain with the best water conservancy conditions and terrain conditions. Why was the level of agricultural development lower than that of the Western Regions in the Warring States Period?

Baidu's chicken feeding and Qidian writers forced the big Vs to keep talking, rivers flooded, water conservancy facilities were not fully constructed, wars were frequent, and no unified regime carried out complete planning and governance.

This kind of thing is something that comes with a touch of mouth, a slap in the forehead, and a mouth open. Please be sure to use it as a joke and ignore it.

In addition to the big problem of boiling water conservancy facilities, the Kanto Plain itself is not suitable for farming! That’s right! You can’t farm!

A large-scale Kanto region, including Shinno, Kafai and other countries, belongs to the Kanto red soil layer in terms of geographical environment! Now, go to the Kanto Plain and find a piece of flat ground to dig more than one meter underground and you will encounter extremely high viscosity red soil.

Not only is this kind of red soil very united, but it also has a high acidity in the pH test. It is very different from the weakly alkaline soil required by normal crops. Most crops cannot be planted and survived on red soil. Even if they survive, they cannot expand the root system due to the high viscosity of the soil, and finally they all fail.

In "Shangshu Yu Gong", it is also mentioned that Yangzhou is only under the land, because in today's Taihu Plain, the land in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was also a clay soil with a high acidity in ancient times. It was impossible to cultivate and produce agriculturally.

The Jiangnan in our country continued to develop until the Tang Dynasty, and it began to enter the era of Yangyi and Yi. At this moment, it has been more than six thousand years since the activities of ancestors such as Hemudu culture! What is the concept!

The transformation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River lasted for 6,000 years before it successfully turned the local area into a prosperous land of fish and rice.

Japan's agricultural technology is already weak. Can they have such a long agricultural farming time to transform? Of course not!

So why did Kanto still look dead when he entered Tokugawa Ieyasu? It is generally considered by people all over the world that it is a remote countryside. The plains are vast, but due to insufficient development, the land cannot be cultivated.

Back to Shinono, the writer himself presumed that Ieyasu had learned the "Frost Breaking the Ground" in Shinono!

During the frost in late autumn and early winter, turn the ground and dig at least 30 to 40 centimeters of soil off the ground. These soil blocks that are not suitable for farming and have been bonded together are invaded by water vapor under the sunshine during the day, and gaseous water penetrates into every corner of the soil block.

After nightfall, the temperature drops and the water vapor solidifies into solid ice. Because the solidified ice is large in size, under the power of nature, countless tiny ice particles are produced in the middle of the blocks of bonded together, and the blocks are no longer glued together.

When the sun shines the next day, the ice melts, and the broken soil that has been broken by the ice will be broken. It will suddenly change from clay that makes people have nowhere to start to become loose and arable soil. The power of nature is infinite.

As long as this process lasts for two months, the soil of thirty or forty centimeters on the surface of this land will become loose soil that can be cultivated.

But it is not enough, how can the acidity of the soil be alleviated?

Shinno's farmers were really witty, and you couldn't imagine it at all.

In the fields of each village and village, people will organize their hands to dig a square pit with a depth of meter and a half and a length of five meters in late autumn. Then nail wooden stakes around them, without too high or about half a meter of wooden stakes.

Then use thick straw to tie it into straw walls to enclose the pits to form an artificial fermentation pool.

Then collect the dead leaves all over the mountains and fill the pits. Then chop the straw, chop the straw and evenly sprinkle it in. Continue to add a certain amount of straw ash and rice bran, and finally the manure and urine of humans and animals. [Note 1]

Human and animal manure and urine are particularly important. Although Shinono does not raise horses and cattle in every village, the manure and urine of large livestock is still easy to find. This is a favorable opportunity for the great development of the local composting industry, and it is not possible in other places.

This has already piled up the pits, so let's dry them for three days first! After the smell is stinking, find a few warriors with insensitive noses or are not afraid of odor, go in and turn them in, and make a pile of compost that is about one meter deep. The farmers are only 1 meter three meter four meters tall.

Let these warriors turn him in the pit for three or four days, and everything was evenly mixed together. After using straw to continue to lay a huge grass cover and cover the large amount of compost. He was allowed to ferment in a closed environment for three to four months. After the spring of the following year, it became a secret skill in "Nobunaga's Ambition" - grass fertilizer (green fertilizer).

Anyway, when you uncover the cover for use next year, you can make you smell so bad that you will be stinking. The rotten stench that is stuck on your body will not be washed off for three days without taking a shower.

But this kind of fertilizer is good. When applied to the clay land after it is broken, it can neutralize the acid-based acid-base of the land that is slightly acidic to weak alkaline.

The color of the soil will also change from red to black, and will become a good place suitable for cultivation and strong fertility.

If this process is repeated three or four times, and no crops are planted in the middle of the period, the land can be completely awakened and mature. Finally, a few crops of soybeans are planted to gather nutrients in the soil. As long as this land can be collected with water, it will be a first-class fat field.

Now everyone can understand that Takeda Shingen is his master of kingship. Why did Tokugawa Ieyasu know how to transform the land in the Kanto Plain after Tokugawa Ieyasu ruled Shinno?

After that, the agriculture of Guanbazhou ushered in great development after taking the two-pronged approach of soil transformation and water conservancy preparation, and became the rich Kanto Plain.

But just when Koheita thought Shinno's farmers were already superb and mastered such good agricultural technology.

Xiaopingta saw the farmers shouting trumpets, carrying shovels, and carrying pebbles up the mountain.
