Fish caught in the river, small fish were released into the pond.
The big fish was enough to eat for a few days, so the cook arranged for someone to marinate a large tank of fish.
The little ones actually ran to the rice field and grabbed a small bag of frogs and came back, saying that it was for Lizhi to eat.
This is the case in this era, you are good to the people, and the people always try their best to reciprocate.
Zhang Chun asked the cook to make a big pot of frog meat for everyone to try together.
However, warn the little ones that frogs eat insects in the rice fields, and you can catch a few, and it will be troublesome if you catch them.
Yuan Fang asked in surprise, "Who did you listen to?"
” "Darwin."
Yuan Fang frowned: "Evolution."
Do you have this book?
” Zhang Chun nodded.
However, Zhang Chun will not tell Yuan Fang that the theory of evolution does not mention biological control.
After that, the little ones always find a way to get some game back, and they also learned to fish in Beiguang Lake.
Although Beiguang Lake is also a river, the water flow is gentle, the shore is not deep, and reeds only grow in a few places.
Children in the lake grow up in the water from an early age, and no one knows how to swim and is not very dangerous.
However, Zhang Chun forbade children to swim in the Nanhe River during the rainy season, where the water is complex and prone to accidents.
Surprisingly, after Zhang Mingyi cut down two big trees to repair the bridge leading to Jinjiling, he took an iron drill and a sledgehammer to the stone quarry in Niutou Mountain to quarry, alone.
After more than ten days of picking, it was discovered by Zhang Xiuqing.
So the adult men in Zhangjialing would spend a certain amount of time with Zhang Mingyi every day to go to the quarry to quarry stones, and then transport them to the edge of the stone bridge by wheelbarrow.
With everyone able to fill their stomachs, the little ones over the age of ten are no longer skinny and have a little muscle in their arms and legs.
Every morning's training is dominated by these little ones.
Adults basically dropped out of training.
They're too busy.
Zhang Tian is the biggest one, a little thin, but he is already 1.65 meters tall, and he is tall at this age.
Originally the son of a former sharecropper.
In the past, tenant farmers did not have such a good life as they do now, and it would be good to be able to eat wotou with bran, when have you ever eaten white flour steamed buns and rice?
Moreover, the mountains, lakes and land here belong to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family will not allow hunting if they are not allowed to hunt.
So the life of the tenant farmers was very hard.
Life now is something that sharecroppers dare not imagine.
Although the young masters did not eat as well as the young masters of the maids before, the young masters now eat with everyone and have never opened a small stove.
Even the little daughter-in-law has no meat to eat.
Zhang Tian vowed to follow Zhang Chun and protect Zhang Chun.
Because without Zhang Chun, there will be no such life.
Chen Jizu is a child of a small family, long-term malnutrition makes him not tall, the Zhang family used to be good to tenants, but these small families living in Niutoushan are not so polite, and the rent collection is more than seventy percent.
And now the eldest young master said that he would collect fifty percent of the rent after three years, and three years after five years.
The land in Zhangjialing is all good and cooked land.
The land in Niutou Mountain is much worse, so it only received six or seven percent before.
Eighty percent of the good land will be harvested.
If it is calculated in this way, if the eldest young master was in charge of the family before, there would definitely be more people in the Chen family who survived than now.
In fact, whether Zhang Jialing is an adult or a child, he sees hope in Zhang Chun.
Although Zhang Chun is just talking, he has not really implemented it yet.
Especially the women in the compound, although they are now regarded as slaves of the Zhang family, Zhang Chun did not treat them as slaves.
The most important thing for women is children, the children can be fed and have clothes to wear, although it is not so good, but the Zhang family invited teachers from the foreign school to teach the children to read and write.
This is something that these women have never thought of in their lives.
Therefore, these women get up early and are greedy for darkness, insisting on serving more than 200 acres of rice land properly, and trying to let the children read more and exercise more.

Watching the children grow stronger day by day, no longer blind, their smiles never stop.
Zhang Chun felt the changes in the people of Zhangjialing.
He didn't think it was anything, though.
In later generations, it was originally a society where everyone was equal and respected each other, and people's work intensity was even higher than it is now.
In the factory, of course.
Zhang Chun did a lot of research in the research institute, and he didn't go to the countryside very much, but the farmers in later generations did not seem to be more relaxed than now.
So Zhang Chun thinks that it should be like this.
And I didn't feel anything special.
It's just that these people treat themselves with too much respect.
Is this the charm of the landlord and the leader?
is Chunya, the maid, and Zhang Chun just treats her as a guard and bodyguard.
This female bodyguard is also very conscientious.
Chunya obviously has some concepts of military knowledge, and has practiced martial arts, and now she is still practicing with the little ones.
Chunya practiced very hard by herself, compared to other little guys, Chunya had less time to study and more time to practice martial arts.
Completely masochistic tendencies.
Although Zhang Chun also exercises every day, Zhang Chun now knows the difference between exercise and practice.
Zhang Chun and Lizhi are considered exercises, and Chunya is regarded as practice.
This made Zhang Chun feel that he was actually quite lazy.
Because remembered.
Zhang Chun and Lizhen's hard work is the lowest.
So when Zhang Chun ran with Lizhi, he felt a little ashamed when he watched Zhang Tian and Chen Jizu surpass him with his friends.
Well, if you don't compare with them, you can't compare.
Because when Zhang Chun ran one lap, Zhang Tian and the others ran at least two laps, if they carried weight, it would definitely be enough for the standard of military training.
Because the best cotton planting time is nearly a month late, the cotton grows well, and there is less time left for the cotton peaches to ripen on time, even if Zhang Xiuqing manages it carefully, the yield will not be so ideal.
Zhangjialing's farmhouse manure production has been continuing, and there is a tendency to consume all the wheat grass harvested in the summer.
This formed rows, huge, mud-sealed fermentation piles around the large manure pit at the South Gate.
The original fermentation pile has collapsed and shrunk by less than half.
In October, news came that the reform had failed.
However, it seems that the new school has not been abolished.
This is related to Zhang Zhidong's persuasion, and it is also related to the differences between the Westernists and the Restorationists.
No matter how turbulent the situation is, for Yunlong Town, the impact is minimal.
Because several major families along the river are carving up Yunlong Town.
In a short period of time, Yunlong Town became full of shops, and on the wharf, timber, river sand, grain, salt, bamboo and so on flowed endlessly.
Some small families were wiped out in the banditry, and the land was annexed by the big families.
The Wu clan of Beiguang directly opened the barren land to the Zhang clan in Jinjiling.
Zhangjialing's cotton began to be harvested on a small scale.
After the soybean and sesame seeds were harvested, they were also cultivated in separate ridges, eliminating the previous full-width cultivation.
So it looks like Zhang Chun planted half less wheat.
However, Zhang Chun used this half of the land for deep ploughing and fertilization, and planted broad beans and peas between the rows, Zhang Chun said that these are used as green manure, and the harvest should not be too careful, mainly to reduce the time of land exposure, reduce soil erosion and increase soil fertility.
The wheat is planted selectively, excluding seeds such as barley that are not full in the middle.
Zhang Chun attaches so much importance to agricultural planting and has such strict requirements, which is something that no one expected.
Although wheat cultivation has been selected, the varieties are still very mixed.
After growing, there is a big difference in both growth and tillering.
However, at this time, although Zhang Chun had the heart, he was unable to engage in further breeding.
Because the Yunlong Wu family cut off the canal in Jinjiling, this is bullying no one in Jinjiling, and they want to force Zhang Yang's family to sell their land.

Although Zhang Mingyi went to find the Wu family's housekeeper theory, the Wu family was so powerful that even if Zhang Jialing's people were added, it was not enough to see it.
Zhang Chun just smiled.
Say don't worry about them.
Without the canal in Zhupi Mountain, we will build another canal.
In order to build the stone bridge in Jinjiling, the two families have been mining stones in Niutou Mountain for more than two months, first chiseling with chisels, and later frying black #fire % medicine by themselves.
If a bridge had been built simply, the stone would have been enough.
But the Wu family's actions changed the nature of the matter.
Zhang Chun no longer wants to build just a bridge, he wants to build a stone dam.
The location of the small bridge is just the narrowest part of the Beiguang River, and it is the best place to build a stone dam here.
In December, the two families finally raised all the stones and worked together to cut off the Beiguang River.
Shengsheng raised the water level of Beiguang Lake by several meters, and then used the water level difference in the drainage canal to drive a waterwheel to lift the river water to the newly built Jinjiling Canal.
The irrigation problem of nearly 400 acres of land in Jinjiling has been solved.
However, the mill built using a waterwheel became Zhang Chun's property.
This is against the agreement of the ancestors that Zhangjialing is not the Beiguang River.
However, Zhang Yang said that when Lizhi grows up, Jinjiling is Liqin's dowry, so the previous agreement will be null and void.
Beiguang Lake, the Zhang family accounts for the vast majority, only a small section on the southern slope of Zhupi Mountain is the Chai Mountain of Xiaolijiawan, and it cannot be cultivated.
To the west of Zhupi Mountain is the rice field of the Zhang family.
To the north of Zhupi Mountain is the dry land of the Wu family, the Wu family is a cotton merchant in the area of the Yunlong River, and the dry land is mainly planted with cotton, and the Wu family has suffered very little loss in the bandits.
The small and medium-sized Li Jiawan of the bandits almost perished, but after the bandits, the big Li Jiawan made a lot of profits, and many people surnamed Li returned to the small Li Jiawan.
Although the population is not large, the Wu family does not dare to provoke the Li family.
But he coveted the Zhang family's rice fields.
It turned out that the canal on Zhupi Mountain was jointly built by the three families of Li, Wu and Zhang.
The Wu family bullied the Zhang family, and only women and children were left, so they came up with such a trick.
Unexpectedly, the surname Zhang, who was not so harmonious, united, and even had a dam and a mill.
And directly put aside the bamboo peel mountain canal to build a set of irrigation system by itself.
The Wu family also understood the determination of the Zhang family, and even a part of the newly reclaimed land near the Zhang family did not even grow wheat, and was directly abandoned.
It's no wonder that the bandits are coming, each family has some losses, the land here is too far away, planting cotton is a very energy-consuming thing, and the Wu family has no one here, and they can't take care of it for a while.
The stone dam of the Beiguang River is built up one by one with stones, and the middle is filled with limestone, which is very strong, and the Beiguang River itself is only more than ten meters wide.
The place to the stone bridge is even narrower, only ** meter wide.
The dam is only 15 meters long and more than three meters wide, and there is a two-meter-wide flood outlet in the middle, on which the waterwheel is installed.
The dam is directly connected to a canal made of stone troughs with three-metre-high stone pillars.
The spokes of the huge waterwheel are eight meters in diameter, and between the canal and the stone dam is a mill.
In fact, this design can be slightly modified to install small power generation units, but it is not available now.
The whole set of design and construction, Zhangjia from the beginning of August, just to prepare the stone has been dry for half a year, after October, the water level of Beiguang Lake dropped very low, and it basically did not take much effort to build a stone dam.
After the stone dam was repaired, the young men of the Zhang family compound, who had no time to spend, actually installed railings on the dam and the small bridge, and the three-meter-wide road surface made a bend from the north gate to the stone dam, and then led to the bottom of the mountain in Jinjiling.
Connected to the trail up the mountain.
This autumn, the wind and rain are good, and the rice harvest is abundant.
When the fields are raised, the peas are turned into the soil only after they have been harvested.
Therefore, Zhangjialing has to charge one more season of peas than Jinjiling Zhangjia.
The wheat was planted more than half a month late, but because of the use of enough farm fertilizer, the growth was no worse than here.
It's just that this bumper harvest is based on previous yields.
In fact, the yield per mu of rice is only about 200 catties.
Zhangjialing actually planted spring wheat and winter wheat at the same time, and the planting time was a full month and a half apart.
All wheat seeds were removed from the entire field and planted at full capacity.
Even the wheat grown in the rice fields is divided into ridges, leaving room for fertilization and field management.

At the same time, drylands also leave room for intercropping and intercropping.
This change made Zhang Mingyi a little surprised, but when he saw Zhang Xiuqing leading people to carry out deep ploughing and apply a large amount of farm fertilizer between the rows, he was thoughtful.
There is no doubt that the growth of wheat in Zhangjialing is much stronger than that of Jinjiling, whether it is spring wheat or winter wheat, the growth looks much neater.
The green manure between the rows also grows well.
