Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 290: Experiment at Zhao Lizheng's House First

Zhao Lizheng was sitting at the door of his house with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

When he noticed movement at the door, he looked up with a look of worry and sorrow on his face.

"Sickle girl, you're here."

"Well, Uncle Zhao, I have something to talk to you about."

Qiao Lianer was carrying a backpack with something folded inside. It was white and the material couldn't be seen, but it looked quite heavy.

Zhao Lizheng walked into the room and took out a stool.

"Sickle girl, what's the matter?"

Qiao Jianer said, "I went to the county town today and saw many villagers gathering together to rebel against those who were collecting grain and take it back."

"They are now recruiting people who have a sense of injustice. As they go along, the team is getting bigger and bigger."

Zhao Lizheng was a little surprised, but soon thought that this was not surprising and it would happen sooner or later.

"People's lives are already difficult. They've taken away so much hard-earned money and don't even want people to live. How can they be afraid of death?"

"However, the imperial court has a million-strong army. How can we resist? That would be a waste of our lives." He thought of something, and his face became more serious. "The villagers of Datian Village will never let them do that. I will let them know the seriousness of the matter and not act rashly."

After getting through this year, life will be better. It's not like we're really at the end of the road, so there's no need to risk our life on it.

Qiao Jianer continued, "I went to Lingjia Village and saw the villagers loosening the soil in the rice fields before planting another crop of rice."

"But the winters in our area are a bit cold, so we can't grow a second crop of rice. Unless we go three hundred miles south, that's other countries. Those countries can grow a second crop of rice." Zhao Lizheng shook his head after hearing this.

"It's winter here in the south, and the cold snap and frost are severe. One frost can kill all the crops. This is no joke. They are doing useless work. This is foolish. I'm afraid the rice won't even produce ears, and even if it does, it won't grow."

Normally, no one would do such a ridiculous thing, but when he thought about being forced into a desperate situation and only being able to rely on a little bit of slim hope, Zhao Lizheng felt sad again.

"This is the meaning of this thing." Qiao Lianer took out a large plastic greenhouse cloth from her backpack. In order to make it easier to carry, hers was small and could cover a small vegetable patch.

"What is this?" Zhao Lizheng had never seen this thing before, so he picked it up and looked at it curiously.

"This is called plastic film. Covering the fields can lock in heat in the soil and air, protecting the crops from frost and cold snaps. Although the growth rate is still much slower than in spring and summer, there will still be a certain degree of harvest. One acre of land can produce at least 70 to 80 kilograms."

"Is it really that effective?" Zhao Lizheng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought, "It's not like anyone has thought of building something over the fields to keep them warm, like erecting thatched huts and surrounding them with straw and rice stalks. But it's been ineffective and has even caused large areas of crops to wither."

"The material used is wrong. Straw and stalks are prone to air leakage and cannot withstand cold waves and frost. In addition, they completely block sunlight. Without sunlight, nutrients cannot be synthesized, and the crops will naturally wither and die. The greenhouse film I have in my hand is made of special materials. It allows sunlight to penetrate and maintain a certain temperature inside the greenhouse even at night. This temperature can also reach the soil and keep the roots of the crops warm."

Because plastic greenhouse film absorbs a large amount of short-wave radiation, which comes from the sun, has a fast propagation speed and high efficiency, and can quickly heat up the greenhouse. Long-wave radiation comes from the ground and the atmosphere, has weak warming ability, and will be reflected by the greenhouse, thus forming a greenhouse effect inside the greenhouse.

These details are modern scientific knowledge, which is difficult for ancient people to understand, so she did not tell Zhao Lizheng about it.

"But how do we prove that this thing is useful?" Zhao Lizheng asked again.

"Let's build the plastic greenhouse over the small vegetable patch in front of Uncle Zhao's house. When he wakes up tomorrow, he can compare the temperature inside with the usual temperature."

It's still around 20 degrees Celsius now, and the temperature inside the plastic greenhouse is locked up. It's stuffy when you go inside, but it's just right in winter.

"Okay, then I'll try it first. If it works, I'll let the villagers use it. If the output can be half of a season's, that's pretty good." There was a hint of anticipation on Zhao Lizheng's face.

"Sickle girl, if this is useful, the villagers won't have to rebel. You've done a great deed. I will report everything you do."

This is also one of Qiao Jianer's goals, because she can't make much money by selling plastic greenhouse film, and she is seeking achievement.

Including building the bridge at the beginning, she was making long-term plans for her coming to this world. At that time, she knew that the bridge could not completely withstand floods, and she would have to find a way later, but she took it out first, one to save Qiao Yunni, and the other to prepare for meritorious service.

The same applies to the formation diagrams that were taken out.

Maybe building a bridge wouldn't attract the attention of the Heavenly Family, and maybe those formation diagrams weren't enough, but what if she could stop the people from rebelling?

As they accumulate one by one, her name will always be remembered on them.

Although she has some public-spiritedness, she also has selfish desires and wants to climb up the social ladder. This is not contradictory.

Especially this time, Song Lao San came with his cavalry and deliberately made things difficult for the Qiao family, which made her more determined.

Only by moving towards a higher position can people better protect themselves and their families.

After teaching Zhao Lizheng how to build a plastic greenhouse, Qiao Jianer left.

There was a noisy sound coming from the official road above the village, and she saw a large group of people coming in this direction. They kept pouring out from the bend, and the flow of people became longer and longer. There were two or three hundred more people than what she had seen before.

Such a growth in numbers made Qiao Jianer secretly shocked.

When we face the grain-collecting team, I'm afraid the number will exceed one thousand, or even two thousand.

When the villagers saw this scene, they became alert. Could it be that they were coming to steal food again?

However, those people did not come down to rob. They stopped on the official road above, and only a group of dozens of people went down to the village.

They spoke loudly as soon as they entered the village.

"Those bastards who are collecting taxes are inhumane. They've taken 70% to 80% of our food. In some villages, they've even taken as much as 90%. They're practically wiping out our livelihoods. There's strength in numbers. Let's unite and take back all the food that's been taken. Don't be polite to them. They're the ones who are taking things too far."

"That's right, let's rebel against them together. If we participate, the food we loot will be distributed per head. They took away so much money and food, even if there are tens of thousands of us, there is more than enough to go around."

"It's no problem for each person to share a few thousand kilograms. If several people in a family participate, then there will be no worries in the next few years."
