"Cheng Xiucai, you said such a good method should be learned by ordinary people?" It was Master Fan who spoke, smiling like an insincere mask, "You can't hide it, listen to me.
Just a word of advice, it’s a meritorious deed for these people to have a good harvest, don’t you think so?”
Magistrate Shang frowned slightly. According to what he said, it seemed that even if Cheng Xiucai spoke out, it was because he "listened to his advice."
Cheng Zhongqian paused for a moment and looked at Director Fan with some displeasure.
Before he could speak, the surrounding villagers of Beihe Village began to speak on his behalf.
"Gentlemen, please don't talk nonsense. Cheng Xiucai is not hiding anything. They were planning to teach us before you even came here!"
"That's right, Cheng Xiucai and his family are all good!"
"..."
The crackling sound all hit Master Fan, and a villager who was very close was so excited that his saliva sprayed onto his face.
But he can't care about it, and the people didn't do it on purpose!
Magistrate Shang laughed secretly in his heart and stepped forward to maintain order: "Master Fan said the wrong thing. Please forgive him this time."
Chief Fan also smiled, and the voices of the villagers gradually became quieter.
Cheng Zhongqian was not willing to make excuses with them, so he patted the little girl next to him on the head: "Lingbao, where is the method you wrote? Give it to Magistrate Shang."
Ling Bao took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms, and suddenly several pairs of eyes focused on it. Ling Bao seemed to have not seen it before handing his hands to Magistrate Shang.
Magistrate Shang took it and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Lingbao."
Ling Bao smiled: "You're welcome. Magistrate Shang, how are you doing, Sister Shang?"
Xia Shuang was too busy, and she hadn't been to the county seat for a long time.
Magistrate Shang hesitated for a moment, and a flash of embarrassment quickly flashed through him.
He didn't know whether Shang Jingxian was good or not. Normally, monk Shiyue and the others were more of a loving father and a filial son. Recently, Shang Jin had made such a big mistake. How could he care about whether his legitimate daughter was good or not?
But officials are a bit cheeky, so he smiled and said, "It's good. I also said that I hope you go to play with her often."
Ling Bao smiled brightly: "I will!"
Magistrate Shang and others stayed for a while, and wanted to go next door to see Prince Chu. Xie Wuyang didn't have time to deal with these official talk.
Ever since he was young, the only thing he lacked was people he wanted to have a relationship with. He was very bored, so he stayed in the room today and did not go to Lingbao.
Magistrate Shang left with the fertilizer method. Cheng Zhongqian withdrew his eyes and looked at Cheng Yun.
They haven't reached the top of the officialdom yet, they are just a small county government, but they have so many little things in mind. No wonder they are worried.
The tax official still has to leave a registration, and when the tax is paid, Lingbao will start teaching them how to fertilize.
When Cheng Zhongqian returned home, he revised a letter and wrote a thick stack of it eloquently. His eldest brother signed it personally!
The next day, another person came from the county government to deliver the reward money. The person who came was the tax collector.
"Cheng Xiucai, this is the silver reward allocated by the county government. Don't take it too little."
It was indeed a bit small, but Cheng Zhongqian accepted it without hesitation, and when the others left, he gave the money to Ling Bao.
"Dad, will you give them all to me?" Ling Bao asked, blinking his big eyes.
Cheng Zhongqian said: "Of course the money you earn will be given to you."
Ever since she knew that the king was a mythical beast, Cheng Zhongqian was relieved that she had saved the money herself, and the last money was also returned to Ling Bao.
Lingbao thought for a while and said, "But daddy, you also helped me."
She raised her head as smartly as a small animal, pointed one finger at the sky, and said with a smile: "So I have to pay for my hard work!"
Cheng Zhongqian raised his eyebrows and let her go.
Magistrate Shang gave me silver, but it doesn't matter, their family has a lot of copper coins.
Soon, a large family sat around the table, and even Xie Wuyan and the king got a seat.
Ling Bao gave one hundred coins to each person and said generously: "Okay, you go and spend it!"
With such a proud and arrogant appearance, those who didn't know it thought he was given a hundred taels of gold.
The king regards money as dung: "Ling Bao, I don't want money, you can exchange it for meat for me, I want to eat meat!"
"Okay. I'll buy some meat for you when I have time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief came, rubbing his hands, his dark face full of wrinkles with a smile: "Lingbao, it's time."
It's time for her to give a lecture!
Ling Bao, who was giving his second lecture, was already very experienced and stood on the high platform gracefully.
The little girl is beautiful, has a good temper, and was raised by her father and brother to be fair and tender. Wherever she stood, she smiled before saying anything.
...It's really different.
"Let me talk about the materials first. Weeds and fallen leaves, crop stems and leaves, human and animal excrement, animal carcasses, soil and peat, and plant ash and lime. Basically anything that is perishable can be used as materials."
Ling Bao is very dedicated. For this teaching, she even specially found specimens. When she mentioned one, she raised her hand to indicate it.
When the animal carcass was not found, the king was used first. The king collapsed on the ground with his tongue hanging out. When the village chief looked at it, he almost thought it was really dead.
"There are a few things that need attention. It is best to break these materials into pieces to increase the contact area, which is about two to five inches..."
After chattering for a long time, Ling Bao licked her mouth and Cheng Yun fed her half a bowl of water.
Then there is the matter of how to stack them. In fact, the proportions are not that strict. Lingbao and the others also relied on their feelings when doing it.
Just a little bit, I would rather it be thin, than put it out too hard, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss by burning the seedlings.
The villagers nodded repeatedly when they heard this, wishing they could take a pen and write down everything Ling Bao said word for word, and make it a family heirloom. Unfortunately, they can't write. Oh, no wonder scholars are so valuable!
“I never imagined that lime has so many uses!”
"Yes, we need it to grow fungus, and now we even need it for fertilizer!"
"Look, we don't need to buy it together. One bag is enough for who?"
I don’t even think about how much land each person has at home.
When we were growing fungus before, although we could buy it together, there were so many households in one village and the total quantity was quite large. The medical center couldn’t afford the supply, so the village chief went to ask around where else could buy it. He actually asked him to find out about a certain village.
This is specially made here.
This time, making fertilizer required much more lime than growing fungus. The boss laughed so hard that he happily asked why so much was needed.
The village chief did not hide his secrets. Anyway, Cheng Xiucai gave the method to the county magistrate, so he said: "We need to make fertilizer. Ling Bao, the daughter of Cheng Xiucai in our village, figured out a new fertilizer method, and after using it, the output doubled.
!”
But the boss didn't believe it. He had never heard that lime was needed for fertilizer.
There are many people like the boss.
Counting up, the ancestors of our ancestors used their excrement as fertilizer. You said weeds, peat and lime can be used as fertilizer? You said it can be doubled if it can be doubled? Who are you?
The people do not have 100% trust in the government, let alone the most important food involved.
