Chapter 47: Attracting bees and butterflies (fourth update)
When he came out again, he was holding a small brown medicine bottle in his hand.

"Here, this is the bruise medicine your eldest brother bought when he fell down some time ago. It's for scrubbing. It's very useful. Take it back to Qinqin and let her wipe it. It can remove bruises and other things. The girl wants to kiss you, and Her eldest brother and sister-in-law don’t kiss each other, so you can just pass it on to her."

Li Muyang could only smile bitterly.

Sister-in-law is here again.

He was obviously worried about his sister-in-law in his heart, but he was not at all forgiving.

It was indeed Qinqin's fault for this matter. He had reminded her that after such a big thing happened, she had returned to her parents' home. It was really unjustifiable not to visit her eldest and second brothers.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame Qinqin. She is just confused and doesn't know how to deal with it for a while. When she calms down, she will definitely come to visit you."

"Anyway, you have to make up your own mind about your own affairs. What is the difference between women and men? If she thinks that she is inherently weaker than men, what can others do to help her? If she helps this time, there will be another time... Forget it , Why am I talking about this? You should go back quickly."

"Yes, Lao Wu, doesn't Qinqin listen to you the most? You go back and have a good chat with him and tell him what's on your mind. Regardless of whether we can pass or not, we have to go to Liu Xiaozhang to talk things over and beat him up. It’s definitely not right.”

"Well, I know, I will have a good chat with her," Li Muyang nodded, and said with a wry smile: "It's the second brother's place. If the eldest brother can't go and talk to him, I think he is very excited, so don't go directly to him. Liu Xiaogang has just pushed things to the point of desperation, and then we will be passive in whatever we want to do."

"Okay, I'll go talk to the second brother over there."

After Li Muyang came out of his eldest brother's house, he was carrying an empty basket. The weight was lighter, but his mood was not relaxed at all.

He had experienced a relatively civilized era in later generations, and when he returned to this era, he felt slightly uncomfortable.

People in this era will really get into fights if they disagree.

Originally, the people of Longdong had strong folk customs, and many principles lay in their fists.

Regardless of Sanqi 21, give them a beating first and then talk. The principle of handling things is often that you don't say anything until you give them a beating.

Brothers, most of them think this way.

The eldest brother and the second brother have already made up their minds. When Mu Yun and Mu Feng come back, they may not be able to hold them back.

Difficult.

You still need to discuss this matter with your sister quickly. If you really want to divorce, then think about how to get the child. Even if you do it, you must know what the biggest goal is.

Once you have no worries, give him a good beating, it will definitely be necessary.

After returning home, Li Muyang transferred the medicine given by his sister-in-law to Li Xiangqin, and told his sister the reactions of his two brothers, indicating that she should make up her mind early.

And asked her to go to her brothers' house first in the evening.

Don't let them worry.

Li Xiangqin hesitated again and again before nodding in agreement.

When the two of them talked, they turned their backs on their mother. This kind of thing could not be known to her mother.

After settling everything, Li Muyang came to the field carrying rapeseed.

Life is like this, things have to be solved, and life has to go on.

He had plowed the ground some time ago, saying he wanted to plant it. He came back very late every day and was very tired from looking for cordyceps, so he never paid attention to it. It happened to rain during the day today, so he took the opportunity to sprinkle rapeseed on the ground.

Rapeseed can be grown in two seasons each year.

What is planted in April is called spring rapeseed, and what is planted in autumn around September is called autumn rapeseed.

The growth cycle of spring rapeseed is shorter, but the harvest of rapeseed is not good, and the rapeseed oil produced is not delicious and has a slightly bitter taste.

Autumn rape has to go through a winter of gestation, so the maturity period is much later, and the rape that comes out is relatively delicious.Li Muyang decided to plant two pieces of land into rapeseed for many reasons.

First of all, these two pieces of land are really too small.

The big one only has about one acre, and the small one only has six or seven cents of land.

With such a small area, no matter what kind of crops are planted, the harvest will not be very good.

The size of the area where crops are grown actually affects the harvest.

Because it involves the ease of pollen transfer.

For example, if dozens of acres of land are filled with wheat or rapeseed, pollination by bees or wind will be relatively simple.

Anyway, it’s the same crops before and after.

But if a wheat field is next to a field of rapeseed and then a field of sorghum, it will be relatively difficult to transfer pollen, and some plants at the surrounding borders will often have poor harvests.

Therefore, large-scale agricultural planting can not only improve planting efficiency, but also increase yields.

Of course, this does not mean that once crops are planted on certain fields, only this type can be grown and cannot be replaced.

Quite the opposite.

The same kind of crops cannot be planted in the same field for more than three consecutive years. If they are planted continuously, the soil will be deficient in rare elements. The grain output may not be affected, but trace elements will be lacking, and the nutrients will not be as good as before.

Therefore, experienced farmers will change crops every three years. They call this process "cropping".

For example, if you plant wheat for three years, you can plant millet, corn, or sorghum once, and then switch back again the next year.

The wisdom of the working people is infinite. Although they do not understand the scientific knowledge involved, they have summed up experience through phenomena, which, like the 24 solar terms, guides production.

Relatively speaking, the pollination efficiency of rapeseed flowers is higher. The main reason is that rapeseed flowers attract bees and butterflies. Unlike most crops, they can only rely on wind to spread pollen.

In addition, Li Muyang has a further plan for planting rapeseed flowers here.

He plans to rely on this mountain to develop beekeeping.

What beekeeping needs is a place with flowers blooming all year round, quiet and quiet, without too much human disturbance.

Then this location is just right.

Li Muyang definitely plans to contract Taoshan as his experimental field. In the future, there will be a whole mountain of flowers, which is really suitable for beekeeping.

Peach nectar, apricot nectar, apple honey, pear nectar, etc. are all very good honey. If you catch and raise them well, you can make a fortune just by relying on honey, let alone planting fruit trees.

Li Muyang had thought about the development route after rebirth in detail. If he only planted fruit trees, the start-up period would be relatively long.

The development of fruit trees is not like vegetables or other things, where benefits can be seen in a short period of time. It requires a longer development cycle, and the harvest season must be ushered in only after the trees are stable.

Then, before the fruit tree can reap the benefits, he must use other things to get through this gap period.

Of course, there is another very important reason why Li Muyang chose to divert bees, which is to enhance the pollination process of peach trees.

Peach trees are not monoecious, so pollination is relatively difficult. As Taoshan is located, the west side is shorter than Xishan, and the southeast side is lower than Yangziling, so the wind that can blow in is very limited.

If you rely solely on wind pollination, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

There is a great need for bees and butterflies to provide subsidies to increase the fruit bearing rate.
