"This is called retting. I used some pig and chicken manure, dead leaves from the mountains, silt from the river, and bean dregs used for tofu." He Yunxi said, "The contents of this pond are enough to improve the quality.
I now have all the medium and low-level land under my name. If I water the fertilizer a few more times during the planting process, it is possible to improve it by one level. Xiaojin, think about it, if the entire Daliang Kingdom
If the land could use such fertilizer and water..."
Liang Jinxi's breath was stagnant, and Xie Yuanming was also stunned.
If the people of the entire Daliang Kingdom knew this method of retting and used all the land in the Daliang Kingdom, then the grain harvest of the entire Daliang Kingdom would be at least a quarter to a third higher.
You may not see much difference in one acre of land, but if you add up the entire Daliang Kingdom, how much more food can be produced!
How many people can be fed with the extra food?
And this excrement can be produced by people themselves!
"Sister, you have to tell father about this." Liang Jinxi said excitedly.
"The emperor should already know. Before the master left, I gave him the recipe," He Yunxi said.
Liang Jinxi was startled: "My uncle also knows?"
"I know! Almost half of the things in here were picked and poured in by Master."
Liang Jinxi, Xie Yuanming: "..."
They really couldn't imagine Pei Yuan carrying the big manure and pouring it into it.
"Now that Father knows about it, he should have sent people to do it in various places by now." Liang Jinxi said.
He Yunxi raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"
Liang Jinxi analyzed with her: "My father has always loved the people like his own son. As long as it is beneficial to the people, even if it is not 100% successful, he will still let people do it. What's more, the cost of this attempt is so low.
"
"You don't feel so resentful towards your stepfather now?"
"Um."
When they first met, when Liang Jinxi mentioned the emperor, his tone was full of sarcasm or sadness. At that time, he was complaining about the emperor and felt that he was not a good father.
After this period of change, he gradually understood the emperor's fatigue and hard work, and understood the emperor's heart of putting the people of the world first.
He loves the people too much, and state affairs take up too much of his energy, so he unintentionally neglects himself.
He has figured it out, now that he has grown up, what he has to do is not to blame his father for not giving him enough attention, but to stand by his father's side and accompany him to do these things.
If the emperor knew his thoughts, he would burst into tears and lament that his son has grown up.
But Liang Jinxi's guess was correct. Since Pei Yuan handed over this method to him, he started sending people to various places to do this.
As Liang Jinxi said, these things are very low-cost. If it fails, it will not waste much money. But if it succeeds, starting from this year, the country's food supply may increase a lot.
Moreover, he believed that it was possible. He believed in He Yunxi and also believed that Pei Yuan's statement that she had successfully drained the first pool of dung was true.
He Yunxi didn't care whether the emperor did it or not. Once she handed over this method, it was no longer her concern. She looked at Liang Jinxi who was still amazed and asked: "Uncle Xie, Xiao Jin doesn't have to go out to observe the people's sentiments in the next few days, right?
"
When she asked, Xie Yuanming guessed her purpose and said, "No."
"Okay, then lend him to me in the next few days?"
"OK!"
Liang Jinxi looked at the two of them: "Sister, what do you want me to do?"
He Yunxi smiled innocently: "Starting from tomorrow, we will plow the ground again and apply some fertilizer to the ground. We will not plant the pepper seedlings until they are well cultivated. You can go to the fields with everyone tomorrow."
"Ah?" Liang Jinxi opened his eyes wide. Was he being caught as a coolie?
However, both He Yunxi and Xie Yuanming agreed, and his opinions were ruthlessly suppressed. He Yunxi also patted him on the shoulder: "Since we are experiencing the people's sentiments, shouldn't we also experience the working methods of the farmers? To get to know the people, you can't just use your eyes.
See, it’s so easy to listen with your ears!”
Xie Yuanming echoed: "Yunxi is right, so your next task is to work with everyone, and when you are done, write an article about your labor reflections for me."
Liang Jinxi: "..." Baobao felt bitter, but he didn't say anything.
Ah, he will actually say that he is a baby one day!
The more I live, the more I go back.
What He Yunxi and Xie Yuanming said was true. They found him a smaller hoe when they returned.
Liang Jinxi: "..." So she had already prepared herself to work.
The next day, he went to the ground with Lu Shi and the others. Others used big hoes, while he used small ones. At first, he thought that hoeing was nothing, so he just treated it as practicing. But within half a day, he found that it was much more tiring than practicing kung fu.
.
After repeating the same action for such a long time, not only my hands are sore, but my waist is also sore.
Even when he was practicing martial arts, he felt so tired from hoeing, let alone ordinary people.
It turns out that farmers have to work so hard to grow food.
On the first day when Liang Jinxi came back, she collapsed on He Yunxi's rocking chair. He Yunxi took a small stool and sat next to him, picked up his hand, and popped the blisters on his body.
"If this blister is not broken today, it will be more painful when I work tomorrow." He Yunxi said, "Pull it open now, apply ointment, and it will be fine when you get up tomorrow."
She took a white jar, picked a little white powder from it and sprinkled it on the blisters. Then she took a little ointment from another bottle and applied it on it. After a while, the transparent ointment became hard.
Yes.
"What's this?"
"This is something I have newly researched. After it is combined with the medicinal powder, it will solidify. This will form a protective film on the wound. You can use this for some small wounds. It is convenient." He Yunxi said, "How about it? Does it hurt?
?”
"A bit. But it's still bearable," Liang Jinxi said.
He Yunxi put away the medicine bottles and said, "Do you want to continue tomorrow? If you don't want to..."
"Continue." Liang Jinxi said, "I can do it, sister."
"Okay." He Yunxi was very happy with his choice.
When Liang Jinxi saw He Yunxi happy, he was happy too. Then two days later, he realized that he was happy too early.
Three days later, He Yunxi gave him not the small hoe yesterday, but a bucket, which was smaller than the others.
He Yunxi said with a smile: "The land has been plowed almost, and the remaining bit can be left to others. Today you will join everyone in pouring manure on the plowed land."
Liang Jinxi: "..."
Liang Jinxi: "Can I say no?"
"No." He Yunxi patted his shoulder, "Come on, young man."
