Nothing is difficult in the world, and an iron pestle is ground into a needle!

Hua Xi feels that at least he understands the principle of sails, knows the general appearance of sails, and builds the sails first, and constantly improves in failure. A simple sail should not be a problem.

However, this seems to take a lot of time. Other towns in the tribe still have many important matters to go over and inspect and guide. Hua Xi had no choice but to put down the matter of Sunset Castle first and wait for a while to study Fengfan's affairs.

Before leaving, Hua Xi specially promoted Shui Gu to the lord of Sunset Castle. Shui Tong joined the ancestral temple in the morning and studied astronomy and geography with a priest. Hua Xi also pointed Shui Tong as a missionary and retained the centurion.

As a position, teach sailors the knowledge of observing astronomy and geography, of course, salary is naturally double!

Second **, Hua Xi was even more enthusiastic about work and told Mulu and Shuigu that during this period, while ensuring normal work in Sunset Fort, manpower must be dispatched as much as possible to build a transport ship! Gaisan is also here

After resting for several days, Xiang Huaxi said goodbye and returned to his tribe first. Huaxi also brought Huayong and others to Mang Village and taught everyone how to plant mulberry trees. In fact, if the mulberry trees are thrown directly to the villagers in Mang Village,

It’s not that the karma is not bad, but the survival rate and benefits may not be ideal!

Although it is possible to plant this season, if we talk about the best time to sow and cultivate it in large quantities, it is undoubtedly about two months later. Compared with the current climate, the later generations often compare to the eleventh month in January and February.

February is still cold, this is a pervert and abnormal

But with the current lack of composure, Hua Xi may not be able to spend much time here by then. It is a good thing to teach everyone first, so as not to be in a hurry and prepare in advance now!

Because a lot of land has been reclaimed by the villagers and the soil is loose, Hua Xi began to lead people to use plows and oxen to open dozens of drainage ditches that are 100 meters long, and they usually drain water in Shenglongtan.

The spacing between the ditch is about four or five feet, that is, between 120 cm and 150 cm. The ridges in the middle of the drainage ditch are the land where mulberry trees are planted. Because the fields have been raised by volcanic ash and manure for more than a month, the soil structure should also be

Many Huaxi asked the villagers to dig a deep pit every two or three meters to facilitate planting new mulberry branches in a few days!

During the period of digging the pit, Hua Xi took dozens of villagers into the mulberry forest, cut some mature mulberry branches from the mulberry trees with cutting knives, and collected them as seeds for planting. These tasks have been to the countryside since childhood

Hua Xi, who grew up, was just a common sense thing and was quite easy to do!

After two days of hard work, the soil pit and the collection of mulberry branches have been completed. The next step is to plant mulberry trees. Because there are still some days left before the best planting time, Hua Xi mainly teaches villagers how to plant them this time.

, Cut the branches and leaves, and do not plan to plant them on a large scale. After all, there are still many things waiting to be handled by yourself. There is also a way to choose mulberry branches. You are not randomly selected. First, the mulberry branches must be mature, and then they must be thick enough to survive in this way.

The rate will be high

Hua Xi first watered the dark soil so that the soil structure below became tight and not tight. Then, under the crowd, Hua Xi pruned a mature mulberry branch that was one meter long into one.

How long is the short branches? There are three or four buds on each short mulberry branch.

"Ah, patriarch, if you prune these mulberry branches so little, will you not die? Can you still grow a living?" The honest villagers said in confusion.

"Haha, live, keep it alive, and this is easier to live!" Hua Xi replied with a smile while trimming.

"But the patriarch, what do you care about me to dig those dig pits? Isn't it just to put these mulberry branches down..." The villagers asked again with a slight slightest question

A good teacher is always happy to students who are eager to learn and will teach them all!

Hua Xi is no exception. Although he only knows the superficial method of planting mulberry trees, in the eyes of the villagers, the patriarch who can lead the tribe to create the world is undoubtedly a mythical figure, but he is so amiable!

After carefully cutting a small piece of tough mulberry branches with a knife, Hua Xi stopped the living in his hand and smiled: "Haha, that soil pit is naturally used to pile up black mud! In this way, mulberry branches will grow more easily!"

"Black mud?" Everyone couldn't remember that the soil was black. Could it be that the patriarch was talking about volcanic ash?

It is obvious that the black mud Hua Xi mentioned did not refer to volcanic ash Looking at the anxious expressions of the villagers, Hua Xi remembered his father's father in front of those technicians who went to the countryside in order to learn a few techniques to improve crops.

A look of anxiety

Hua Xi stopped keeping it, and revealed the answer and said, "Is Shenglong Pond big?"

Hua Xi suddenly asked this question, and the villagers didn't know what Hua Xi wanted to say. One of the peasant women said: "Big, big, very big!"

"Big, if you want to walk around Shenglongtan, it will take more than half a day!" Another villager also said timidly.

"Ah, patriarch, is the black mud you mentioned in that Shenglong Pond?" The village chief of Sang Village suddenly noticed something and asked in surprise.

"Haha, not bad, the black mud is in Shenglong Pond!" Hua Xi nodded and confirmed with a smile.

"But, I don't know how deep the Shenglong Pond is, and I don't know if there is any monster at the bottom of the pool. How can I get the black mud at the bottom of the pool?" The village chief looked sad and embarrassed.

"Haha, you don't need to go to the bottom of the pond, you just need to dig by the lake! Come with me!" After saying that, Hua Xi ordered some villagers to build mulberry branches as he had just done, and he led the village chief and others to go up.

Of course, when we went there, Hua Xi asked the villagers to bring hoes and produce, and caught dozens of mule carts to go with them.

Shenglongtan is not too far from Sangma Village. If you look down from a high place, you can see that Shenglongtan is about three or four miles away from Sang Village! Soon, everyone surrounded Hua Xi and came to Shenglongtan.

Hua Xi looked at the terrain, then made sure to walk to the edge of the pond, bent down and stretched out his hands, then picked up a small pile of dark brown soil from the edge of the pond and smiled: "Look, this is black mud!"

"Ah--" Everyone rushed to Hua Xi and looked at the mud that was about the same color as the mud in the farmland. They said in confusion: "Class leader, what's the use of these black mud? You can also give it to the ground

Fatten?”

"Haha, that's right, as long as you see the black soil, it means that the mud must be very fat. It is used to grow crops and harvest every year, haha!" The black mud is basically fat mud, and I haven't long since I became sensible.

Xiao Huaxi, who followed her parents to make a living, has become a common sense in her mind. Although Huaxi dares not say that she is absolutely fat, at least most of the fertile soil she comes into contact with is black and brown.

"Wow, Shenglongtan is so big, so we can't get enough fertilizer?" The village chief was influenced by missionaries for several days, so he couldn't help but show off his eloquence at this time, which made the villagers laugh.

laugh

Since we understand the benefits of black mud by the pond, we naturally use hoes and other excavation tools to dig up the mud and put them in the wooden barrel. When seventy or eighty empty buckets are filled with black mud, everyone worked together.

After carrying the barrel onto the mule cart, he hummed an unknown little song and returned to the village.

Back to Mang Village, the villagers had built many mulberry branches that meet the requirements. After the wooden barrel filled with black mud was unloaded, Hua Xi poured the black mud into the pit and then put the mulberry branches into the black mud.

, then completely cover the mulberry branches with soil

"Little machine, hoe!" Hua Xi shouted to the village chief of Sang Village.

"Yes, patriarch! This!" The village chief immediately handed over the hoe and placed it on the palm of Hua Xi's outstretched right hand.

After Hua Xi took the hoe, he pressed the back of the hoe flat on the slightly soft soil, and then stepped on it with his feet. The strength of his whole body was pressed on the hoe. He repeated it several times. The soil under the mulberry branches was already quite good.

Being strong, the mulberry branches will not accidentally touch them when the wind and rain or when the animals pass by them. The mulberry branches will be exposed to the air.

On-site teaching, others also followed suit. They did it quickly according to Hua Xi's method, and dozens of mulberry branches were planted.

"Okay, this is probably the case with planting mulberry trees. In the future, you must often weed and worm the mulberry trees and fertilize them in time. After about a year, we can raise silkworms on these mulberry trees." Hua Xi said happily.

"Haha!!!" The villagers happily danced a dance with Chinese characteristics around Hua Xi, which made Hua Xi feel so disgusted that she was stunned. She quickly fled and rushed to Ma Village

Calculate based on planting 6,000-7,000 plants per mu, it should take several years to meet the current daily needs of the tribe. If you can't hurry up, you can't hurry up.

"Class leader, when this mulberry tree grows up, will not everyone in our tribe wear the kind of clothes that the patriarch said you only have to wear?" The village chief said happily, hoping for hope and happiness.

, and the same is true for others!

"Haha, that's right, not only can you wear those beautiful clothes, but this mulberry tree is full of treasures!" Hua Xi covered her big mouth and smiled.

"I'm full of treasures? The clan leader, when I was raising pigs, you said the same thing, then what are the benefits of this mulberry tree?" A villager said in surprise.

"Haha, the leaves, fruits, wood, branches of mulberry trees can be used to feed silkworms, eat, make wine, weave baskets, make paper and make various utensils; at the same time, the leaves, roots, skins, tender branches, fruit ears, wood,

Parasites (bone fungus) and other diseases are good medicines to prevent and treat diseases haha, I thought of, I thought of how to treat some diseases!" Hua Xi said, and suddenly burst into laughter

"Class leader!" The villagers looked at the excited patriarch, who was a little disobedient, and quickly reminded him.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay! You guys are busy first, remember to take good care of these newly planted mulberry seedlings, and plant them in large quantities in two months. And those mulberry silkworms must be taken care of carefully, except for any mistakes, I

But you are asking!" Hua Xi instructed before leaving

"Don't worry, patriarch, if you can't do these things well, we've been working in vain for so many years!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Afterwards, Hua Xi took Hua Yong and others to Ma Village, which is not far away. The situation is similar to that of Sang Village. They have loosened the land and reclaimed it. Wait for Hua Xi to come and teach them how to grow marijuana.

Mali has very low requirements for land conditions, and is especially suitable for planting land with poor soil such as hillsides, wastelands, saline-alkali lands, and has strong vitality. Therefore, Huaxi has set the site for Mali planting in some tribes that are not suitable for planting rice and other lands.

Highly demanding and inconveniently planted barren wasteland and hillsides

Despite this, loosening the soil is always better than polishing the soil. In addition, because the silt can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible. At least in terms of the current demand of the tribe, Shenglongtan is rich in nutrients.

The silt cannot be used up, Hua Xi will not pay any fees. The village chief of Ma Village immediately organized a mule cart convoy and followed Hua Yong to Shenglongtan to collect the silt.

Although Hua Xi recognized these plants as hemp, she could not tell which type of hemp it was. However, no matter which kind of hemp it was, it was a big problem for Hua Xi, because Hua Xi had never been exposed to hemp before.

Crops, don't know how to plant

Hua Xi went to the wild madi to look at it. It felt that the planting should be similar to peanuts. She threw the madi seeds into the land. As long as weeding and worming and fertilizing appropriately, it should be like that.

Hua Xi thought of it and sat down. He immediately sprinkled the sesame seeds into the moist soil as if planting peanuts. Then he instructed the villagers to be diligent in weeding and catching insects. He hurried back to China City with Hua Yong and others.

As soon as Hua Xi returned to the palace, she immediately ran into the room like flying, grabbed the charcoal pen and wrote down what was flashing in her mind when she was in the Sang Village.

Wait for certificate

While Hua Xi was trying hard to recall the poor family when she was a child, she followed her mother to treat herself and her younger siblings with these earth recipes, she summarized it in a somewhat shy language, and then summarized the summarized memories in words and wrote I don't know if this is completely correct, but it has more than 500 words of medicinal properties and uses.

Hua Xi carefully checked it four or five times before bringing the draft to the ancestral temple, instructing the priest to copy the contents on the manuscript again with a white paper manual, and named the manual: "Compendium of Herbs"

There is no way, Hua Xi can only steal the title of Brother Li Shizhen, but changing the word "Ben" to "Ben" should not violate the infringement.

After all this, it was already noon and the sun became a little vicious. Fortunately, in the coastal areas, as long as waterlogging is prevented, there is no need to worry about drought happening on this land.

Although the flood that occurred a few years ago caused unimaginable harm to the people on the earth, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Chinese tribe, because it was this flood that swept the entire land, the Chinese tribe Only by taking advantage of this rare opportunity can we allied the missionary An** to promote Chinese culture and let the people of these tribes psychologically abide by Chinese culture.
