Chapter 7 Just be a county magistrate(1/2)
"One is for soaking seeds in lime water to disinfect them, and the other is for fertilizing from compound compost piles."
Li Yi stretched out two fingers and introduced them one by one.
"Poisonous?" Li Longji and Li Chengqi asked together.
"Insects smaller than fleas and ants are very small and are found on the rice. If we don't kill them, the rice will not grow well."
Li Yi chose a relatively simple way to explain.
Li Longji and Li Longji understood instantly.
Li Yi added: "Other millets can also follow this method."
"Write it down quickly." Li Longji ordered in a deep voice.
After saying this, he realized that this was Li Yi's secret method, and it would be wrong to grab him forcefully.
Li Chengqi quickly said: "Brother Yi, can you tell others about this method?"
"Okay." Li Yi was more anxious than the two of them.
He took two more people to the side. There was a special smell wafting, the smell of compost.
He said to the two of them: "Usually, we put the manure, the residue after oil extraction, and bone powder together and let the cattle trample them."
"That's not the case with mine. I put things in layers. Tree leaves and straw sticks can also be put in."
"Lime is also added to it, which will quickly generate heat. It will not only kill the insect eggs, but also make the ground more vigorous."
After introducing the compost, he led the two people to change places.
There are piles of stones here, which are sometimes used by shippers to weigh down the ships.
Then throw it on the Bashui River, and someone will use stones to build a step by the river.
Some people build courtyard walls with blue and white stones, and some are black and blue.
Li Yi picked up a stone: "I call this stone phosphate rock. There are many around Chang'an."
"Grinding this stone into powder and spreading it into the ground will make rice, wheat and other crops grow faster, make them more resistant to cold and drought, and less likely to get sick."
The Li Longji brothers were shocked again.
Li Chengqi reacted and said: "Your wheat is just used... Lin?"
"Farm manure was also used." Li Yi nodded.
Li Longji picked up the quick stone and rubbed it: "It's common. You can always see it in the twenty-two counties of Jingzhao Prefecture."
"Yeah!" Li Chengqi agreed: "It's common, but I never thought that this stone grinding powder could be of such use."
"Brother, your Zhuangzi, take the medicine according to the prescription this year." Li Longji knew that his eldest brother had made a Zhuangzi to fool Li Yi.
If feasible, we will promote it to the entire Jingzhao Prefecture next year, no, after the autumn harvest this year.
Turning his head, he looked at Li Yi again. He was pleased with what he saw.
The three of them went back to eat skewers, and Li Longji looked at the stones he brought back from time to time.
"Brother Yi, what reward do you want?" Li Longji felt ashamed that he had received three prescriptions for nothing, so he wanted to compensate him.
"Reward? Third brother is talking about benefits, right? Remember to find someone to recommend me. I will almost be able to become an official next year."
"I've already thought about it. Let's get the county magistrate Dangdang first."
"You can just find any county around the capital. I don't mind it."
Li Yi looked like he wanted to serve the people.
"Cough cough cough..." Li Chengqi choked on his saliva after hearing Li Yi's words.
This brother Yi has a big heart. Next year, find someone to recommend him, directly the county magistrate?
Moreover, he is also the county magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture. How about I give you the title of Chang'an County Magistrate?
Or would I be wronged and replaced by Wannian County?
"I'll try my best." Li Longji was also frightened.
Then he said: "Brother Yi, what about these methods, third brother, should I ask my relatives and friends to spread them out?"
"Come on, you can't just find relatives, friends, and officials who know you, and let them teach the people under their rule." Li Yi was more anxious.
He also pointed to increasing life span and enjoying life.
Li Longji looked at Li Yi again and nodded: "Yes!"
Li Chengqi said from the side: "To be honest, we are also relatives of the emperor who can get close to each other."
"No wonder, you can get cucumbers." Li Yi suddenly felt that his identity was right.
"Yes, yes." Li Chengqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He doesn't want to reveal his identity, otherwise he won't be happy getting along with him in the future.
Li Longji also thought this and said: "If you want to find us in the future, you can go..."
"Liuli Village in the west of the city." Li Chengqi gave a place name.
Anyway, Zhuangzi already has someone to operate it, just give it a name.
Li Yi remembered this name, and when he got something delicious and fun, he would ask someone to share it.
At nearly noon, Li Longji and the two took their leave.
More than 300 people are still eating and drinking there. It is estimated that they will not find the opportunity to eat beef on weekdays.
Fortunately, the cow was big enough and had other skewers to support it, otherwise it would not be enough for them to eat.
The wine is not good either, costing more than ten yuan a pound.
Li Yi stopped drinking after taking a sip. It was indeed cheap but not good.
If it wasn't too difficult to get a license, I would brew it myself and then distill it.
But no one cares about wine, it consumes no food.
As for whether a certain number of hemp or mulberry trees need to be planted in Yongye Field and Koufen Field, this is not a problem.
Because the current Zhuangzi is Yongyetian, the series of operations given by the system are like this.
There are also methods to increase grain production, as well as methods to raise crops together.
If the court pursues the matter, it can be settled.
Li Yi was thinking that if he provided free housing for 42 students, he would normally be rewarded.
He also set up private schools for the children of seventeen tenant farmers, and they also needed to be commended.
If any official keeps an eye on it, he or she will make matters worse.
Then continue to offer advanced farming technology, maybe Li Longji will know about it soon.
Li Yi thought about various ways to deal with the things he would encounter in the future.
Li Longji and Li Chengqi, who were rushing back, joined the team and crossed the Ba River.
The two brothers were sitting in the carriage, with two jars of soy sauce, two jars of soybean oil, and two small jars of beef chili sauce placed in front of them.
"Brother, it would have been nice if I had known Brother Li...Yi last year." Li Longji looked regretful.
Last year, Li Yicai came to take over Zhuangzi, and many things started to be done at that time.
Since there was a leap month in February this year, it was half a year late before we found out about Li Yi's situation.
"I knew it last year, but I couldn't see it." Li Chengqi thought reasonably.
Li Longji closed his eyes and opened them after a moment: "Come here one night, stay in the village, and look at the swamp at night. Oh, it's even more obvious with a biogas lamp."
"Third brother, I always feel that he still has more skills that he has not yet used. You see, he didn't care about the recipe he gave us. Instead, he hoped that I would help him spread it."
Li Chengqi analyzed and judged from this aspect that Brother Yi only released a little something.
"Indeed." Li Longji also thought about it.
At least he didn't know the secret of how the biogas pool could light up lights, and he forgot to ask.
I originally wanted to come over and ask about soybean oil extraction and biogas lamps.
I went to the place where the seedlings were raised and saw other more amazing things.
"Third brother, is that stone grinding powder for fertilization real or fake?"
Li Chengqi was troubled by what he should learn from his new Zhuangzi.
Li Longji clasped his hands together: "It must be true. Brother Yi doesn't know we are coming, so why should he lie?"
"Yes!" Li Chengqi agreed. He thought Li Yi was very interesting.
He actually wants to become a county magistrate, one of the twenty-two counties in Jingzhao Prefecture, by posting a post.
Could it be that the counties in Gyeongjobu are the same as the counties in other places? This is Gyeonggi Province.
A little further away, it also belongs to the Guannai Road, the important area of the capital.
