After last year's bumper harvest, various places in Echigo began to implement high-temperature composting methods since the beginning of autumn last year. The specific methods of composting are still guided by Omi farmers. There are many secrets in this method that have not been taught. The first is to make compost when the wind is facing the sun.
Areas that are dry and close to water sources.
Secondly, you need to dig out a large pit with a diameter of about one and a half meters, which is equivalent to two meters and a half, and a depth of about one meter. The slope of the pit should be steep enough to be open to the outside. Then apply Sanhe earth around the pit and pound it with wood and stones to compact it.
The process takes about a few days. At the same time, several vertical and horizontal trenches need to be dug at the bottom of the pit and extend to the surface. These trenches are ventilation channels and must be retained.
After doing this, tie up the corn stalks and put them into the trenches. Be sure to plug up all the trenches. Then spread a layer of crop straws, branches and leaves, etc. in the pit, and spread about two stones of mixed solution. Mainly
It is composed of 2 stones of livestock excrement and urine, 5 stones of river water, and half-stone animal bones, fish bones, chicken and duck egg shells, bird droppings, etc. The mixed solution is also covered with a layer of plant ash.
The next operation is roughly the same, which is to put a layer of straw or dead leaves, then a layer of mixed solution, and finally a layer of plant ash. Repeat this pile higher and higher until it is about 1 meter above the ground.
Form a hill shape and cover it all with straw mats to facilitate high-temperature fermentation of the compost.
At the same time, you should always pay attention to the temperature. The method is to pull away the corn stalks and put your hands on the airway to feel the temperature. Depending on the temperature, you need to heat and cool water. On average, you need to divide three to four buckets of water into each house four times a month. Generally speaking, it is still
The water needs to be heated, because it snows in the winter in Echigo. It also rains constantly in summer and autumn. Adding hot water is more conducive to maintaining high temperature fermentation in the pit.
It will be ready for use after about two months of rotting. This method is not original to Kira Yoshitoki. He knows roughly what is going on. Once he gets the details, his eyes darken. This is an agricultural expert from the Ming Dynasty in Shiga County.
The modified professional plan. Traditional composting has been in use for thousands of years in the Ming Dynasty. When he proposed a new idea, he immediately received a positive response. Compared with the simple composting he proposed that day, this semi-pit composting is several times more professional.
grade.
The farmers in Echigo certainly don't understand what this means. They don't need to understand that all the work is done by the Kira family's three-story house, including digging pits, ramming soil, digging trenches, etc. The farmers only need to prepare in advance.
All kinds of straw branches, mixed solutions, plant ash, and straw mats can be used.
This kind of large and small dumps appear in the fields of Echigo. Farmers don't understand the principle of this thing. When spring sowing comes, there are executive officers who personally go to the fields to guide the first application of base fertilizer and the second application of seed fertilizer after sowing.
And the approximate time for the third top dressing.
In the end, the Echigo samurai succumbed to the drive of profit and presented oaths to Kira Yoshitoki and Nagao Torahime one after another. Kira Yoshitoki's request was very simple. It was not enough for him to swear an oath to the gods and Buddhas he believed in, he had to swear to Ashikaga Ni.
Lead the two imperial flags and make another oath to the great Bodhisattva Hachiman.
The Great Bodhisattva Hachiman is the patron saint of the Wu family and the clan god of the Genji family. It is of great significance to the Wu family. The significance of swearing to the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman again is extraordinary. Many people are reluctant, but even if you don't
There is nothing you can do if you wish. The first oath has been presented, and it is difficult to get off the tiger. If you don't swear, you have evil intentions, so you can attack him. Who will admit that he has evil intentions? In the end, he will only suffer the loss of silence.
How do you say that? There is justice in the world, and efforts are always rewarded. I don’t know if there is justice in the world, but efforts must be rewarded. If you don’t repay, I will force you to repay. This is a major characteristic of the Wu family. I swear
The books were all presented, and the Kira family readily provided various new grains for everyone to use.
At the same time, he also emphasized that these seeds can only be used by himself and must not flow out of Echigo abroad. He weighed the consequences in his mind if they were circulated. If something big happened, whoever circulated them would be blamed. When the fines and grain seals were reduced, he could
Don't blame the ruler for being unkind.
The Echigo samurai family is now losing face. Who dares to say whether those farmers will sell themselves. Everyone kowtowed and swore with great difficulty in exchange for the seeds. If they were sold by greedy retainers or farmers with just a little money,
Wouldn't it be cheating to bribe him away and end up being punished himself?
Kira Yoshishi gave them some advice. First of all, everyone agreed that although the new food was good, it was not as good as rice. The samurai ate rice. There were no samurai who gnawed potatoes or corn. Secondly, everyone was unwilling to be fooled by stupid farmers.
Grain seeds have been leaked, so why not pick out some safe land for planting in your own land? Planting less is better than not planting at all. Planting for a year first can give you a chance to test the situation.
This method was widely accepted by the samurai, but many of them were still a little unsure about the new food. Although pumpkin porridge, corn rice, baked potatoes and potato and beet soup were all delicious, many samurai still stubbornly adhered to their traditions.
, Rice dumplings and pickled radishes are the way to go. This is a thousand years of inertia, and no one can change it in a short time.
The samurai took the seeds and left with great gratitude. When they are sown in spring, these seeds will be sown into the vast land of Echigo, and gradually take root and grow into strings of grain loaded with fruits. Long-tailed tiger princess is nestled against them.
He asked with a smile in his arms: "Why do you give these guys seeds? Is His Highness really not afraid that they will leak to the martial arts families in other territories?"
Looking at the girl's stunningly beautiful face, Kira Yoshiki gently scratched her little nose and said with a smile: "It's just because it will be leaked sooner or later, so I have to give it to them sooner!"
In terms of the aesthetics of this era, Hu Ji's appearance with almond eyes, delicate nose, cherry lips and pink cheeks is definitely not a beauty. The definitions of beautiful men in ancient times are not very different, but the definition of beauty is really different. Legend has it that
Since the Heian period, aesthetics have been really strange, especially when it comes to women like Torahime who don't put on makeup and make up her face, she is regarded as an alien.
There were many heterosexual women like Echigo. The girls who seemed pretty beautiful in the time of Kiragi were looked down upon by the young samurai of Echigo. The reason why many people like Nagata Torahime is because of their appetite for these violent men.
, the heroine samurai also has a group of arrogant teachers, and the super powerful brother is a huge supporter. Even this group of muscular Echigo samurai know that this soft girl will get angry with anyone.
"Eh? Why is this?" Two voices asked in unison. One was Torahime, who was nestling in Kira Yoshiki's arms. The other was Mochizuki Chiyome, who was hiding on the other side eating fruit. Two large Lolita
Looking at each other at the same time, there was an ominous atmosphere in the air.
A certain big cat showed its cute fangs and threatened: "Idiot! Why do you say the same thing as me!"
"No! It was obviously Chiyome who said it first!" A certain idiot loli swayed her twin ponytails hanging down her shoulders and retorted vaguely, swallowing the delicious food in her mouth.
"Obviously you are imitating me!"
"No! Chiyome is just a little bit faster than Torahime! It's true!"
"Nonsense! Who is slower than you! You must have heard wrong!"
"Chiyome swears with eleven years of experience as a ninja, Chiyome is indeed a little faster!"
"No road race! No road race!" The two little lolita stared at each other, getting angry like two clucking hens.
There have been countless times when the two lolita quarreled and then reconciled. Kira Yoshi expressed his complete regret for this, but subconsciously replied: "If I remember correctly, Chiyo-onna is only eleven years old, right?"
"Eh? Has His Highness discovered this too? His Highness cares so much about Chiyome! Chiyome is so touched!" The idiot Loli's cheeks were as red as a kettle boiling water. She covered her cheeks and closed her eyes shyly, shaking her head slightly.
Go ahead and shake your ponytails.
"Damn it! Your Highness, please don't look at it!" A certain tiger-toothed lolita got angry and pounced on it like a big cat with explosive hair. While covering Kira Yoshitoki's eyes, it stared at Chiyoko Mochizuki with wide almond-shaped eyes and showed off its female power.
: "Idiot! Don't make such strange moves! It will be very disturbing if others see it!"
In the end, these two lolita didn't understand why they leaked the secret of the seeds. They didn't care much about this kind of thing. Military and national affairs have nothing to do with this kind of lolita. The most thing Huya girl has to do is to be decent.
He sat motionless in the main seat of the evaluation meeting. After everyone finished speaking, he was dragged away by Kira Yoshiki. As for what was said in the middle, I don’t remember at all.
A girl who falls in love is always blind. She believes that Kira Yoshi will not lie to her. She believes that he can do everything well, and believes that his brother will definitely recover. Although he has learned about government affairs, all of them have been forgotten.
, this is what Nagao Torahime thinks.
Kira Yoshitoki did not live up to his expectations. In the past few months of taking charge, Echigo has developed very smoothly, and all the decrees were implemented in an orderly manner. Honjo Minano, Naoe Mitsuna and other officials had to lament that the gap in ability was too big.
The idiom of having a large, specialized skill is also widely circulated among the high-ranking samurai circles of Echigo.
At the evaluation meeting on March 5th, after a busy winter, including those who only had seven days off during the Chinese New Year, they had to re-energize themselves to face new official duties. This was also the case for Honjo Shigenaga and Hojo Takahiro.
Kurokawa Kiyomito participated in the evaluation meeting for the first time as a retainer of Kira. Looking at the familiar Echigo people across from him, the three of them felt a little uncomfortable.
However, no one in the hall paid attention to the small movements of the three people. The Echigo samurai family including Honjo Mino, Nagao Kagenobu, Nakajo Fujisa, Naoe Mitsuna, Nagao Masaki, Saito Asanobu and others were all concentrating on their actions.
Listening to the messages constantly coming from the hall.
Kagetora Nagao continues to be absent from this month’s assessment meeting. This is the second month he has missed the assessment meeting. After nearly half a year of recovery, Kagetora Nagao can now walk slowly with a crutch.
Knowing the existence of Yuzawa Imperial Palace, I also made a special trip to Yuzawa Imperial Palace for an on-site inspection, and finally decided to go to Yuzawa Imperial Palace for recuperation in early February with Nagao Kagetora and Nagao Kagetora and two thousand troops directly under the Nagao family.
In the words of Nagata Tokumoto, this recuperation may last for a long time. If conditions permit, it is best to last for one year. Even if not, it is best to last for half a year, because several hot springs in Yuzawa Imperial Palace are very good for treating wind diseases. To achieve the best therapeutic effect, the premise is that bathing must be done under the guidance of Nagata Tokumoto, otherwise random hot spring bathing may aggravate the wind disease.
Fujitaka Hosokawa took a statistical report and read loudly: "As of February 25, the spring planting in the seven prefectures of Echigo, according to statistics, 2,500 acres of wasteland have been reclaimed for land improvement in the seven prefectures this year, mainly concentrated In the Joetsu and Central Etsu regions, it is estimated that there are about 50,000 towns of wasteland suitable for direct and indirect development in the seven counties, of which..."
"Wait a minute? What do you mean by direct or indirect?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
