Chapter 113: Rice Field



Most people really can't bear it. They have to work under the scorching sun from morning to night, bending over all day long, and moving backwards in the paddy fields.

By the time I got home in the evening, the pain in my waist had gone away.

Now that we have this rice seedling horse, whoever uses it will know its usefulness. As soon as he gets his hands on it, he knows it is a good thing.

People sit on the front seats, and rice seedlings are placed in the baskets at the back. With a little effort, the baskets can slide a long way. No more moving through mud pits with one step. One person can easily finish planting more than two mu of land in one day.

The Qiao family completed the construction of more than 500 acres of land in the south of Weizhou City in just one day.

This speed caused a stir in Weizhou Prefecture, shocking those who originally wanted to see the joke.

It's obviously the same land and the same people, but when it comes to the Qiao family, why do they work so recklessly?

What’s even more incredible is that the Qiao family actually grew rice, a type of rice that is only found in the south of the Yangtze River, in Weizhou Prefecture!

Weizhou Prefecture has a well-developed water system, but the utilization rate is not high. It is densely forested, but it is a major transportation route from north to south. Although the four seasons are distinct, I don't know when people got used to planting spring wheat, sorghum, and millet here. But they never considered planting rice.

The Qiao family, with the whole family's strength, built canals to divert water from all the fertile fields and planted rice, which set a precedent for rice cultivation in this area.

You have to know that in this era, farmland's ability to resist risks is extremely fragile. A heavy rain can destroy all the fruits of labor. Ordinary people dare not easily change the experience passed down by their ancestors, and the landlord class is even more unwilling to take that risk.

Everyone is afraid of losing everything with one wrong move, so it’s better to stick to the rules, at least you won’t starve to death!

The Qiao family's current actions can be said to be extremely bold. Some are puzzled, some are waiting to see the joke, and many are curious.

The Fan family was afraid that Qiao Xin had moved here from the northwest and didn't understand the local customs, so they went to their house to persuade and inquire.

Seeing Qiao Xin reject their kindness, I couldn't help but wonder: Qiao Xin is not the kind of person who is unreliable, why does she insist on doing this? Is she confident, or does she want to be in the spotlight?

After some consideration, the Fan family secretly told the housekeeper in Laohu Town to go to the Qiao family to learn from them. They also took out 10 to 20 acres of land and tried it with Qiao Xin.

just in case,

What if it succeeds?
