After all, he is only 8 years old and his sister is only 4 years old.
Reasonable fertilization is the basis for high grain yield.
People in this world have a certain understanding of the fertilizer of livestock manure, but no one would think of the systematic practice of digging manure tanks, collecting manure, anaerobically fermenting it, and then applying it back to the fields.
On weekdays, people defecate everywhere, in front of and behind their houses, in and out of town, even nobles living in castles, from lords to princesses of the kingdom, defecate whenever they want.
Sometimes they find a deserted corner, and some squat directly at the top of the city and discharge into the streets below...
People are like this, so no one cares about the release of livestock.
If these things are collected and processed centrally, they will definitely come in handy when farming.
........
Over the next month or so, the men, women, and children in Dialing discovered something strange and ridiculous.
Mark's son Scran fell in love with picking up poop.
He carried a wooden bucket and his dirty sister, looking for the smelly feces everywhere, collecting them and pouring them into a big pit dug behind the house, and he never tired of it every day.
There was a lot of talk in the town, and everyone thought that his brain had been eaten by the devil, or that he had been bewitched by a witch, so that he could do such a subversive thing.
"Poor child, his parents went into the arms of the Lord, and he had no one to take care of him, so he actually fell in love with hoarding feces." Aunt Susan from the neighbor's house couldn't help wiping her tears.
"Yeah, it's a pity that we can't help them. With two children, Tom and Jerry, our own lives are... ugh..." The kind-hearted Uncle Timke sighed helplessly.
"Skron, the dung beetle, loves to shovel shit and bury it in cesspits. If he falls into the cesspit next year, the dogs will ignore him." The naughty children gathered around Li Feng and sang a self-written and directed song.
This little friend made them sick to their core.
"Dung beetle, come here and shovel the shit. It's fresh and still warm." The decoder shoes lifted his pants from under a tree stump and shouted towards Li Feng.
This is provocation and insult, and Li Feng is too lazy to offend him.
Unexpectedly, the decoding shoes would not let him go and blocked Li Feng's path with two thugs: "What, dung beetle, don't you like shoveling excrement? Come to me quickly."
Li Feng clenched his fists and was weighing the pros and cons.
After constant training in basic physical training, he can easily knock down even with decoding shoes and two weaklings, but then he and his sister will definitely not have an easy life in the future.
"Master Decoder Shoes, it's better not to make things difficult for the beetle. He is pitiful enough and does not deserve to be bullied by you." Next to him, a little boy with yellow curly hair said.
"Isn't this Smith? I heard that your father is building a manor for the lord."
The little boy lowered his head and bowed: "Yes, Master Decoding Shoes."
"Oh, the merciful Lord testifies that if he doesn't deserve it, you do. You can take the beating for him." The codec shoes gave a cheap laugh, waved hello, and rushed forward with the two losers.
Li Feng quickly went to help and was beaten together...
Until the decoding shoes left triumphantly.
Li Feng reached out and pulled up Smith: "Thank you very much, Master Smith."
"I'm not a young master, I'm just a carpenter's son." Smith lowered his head in humiliation and whispered, looking around for fear of being seen.
In this world, the concept of hierarchy is engraved in everyone's bones.
Li Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and changed the subject wisely: "Why save me."
"I can't stand the decoding shoes master bullying others."
"You have a good conscience. Come on, I'll treat you to some delicious food."
"Very delicious food?" Smith licked his lips.
The so-called delicious cake is just a special cake made by Li Feng using precious wheat flour to ferment, juice and milk squeezed from sweet grass roots, and wild safflower on the roadside.
But the three of them had a great time eating.
In this way, the boat of friendship was propped up. Strictly speaking, this was Li Feng's first friend in this world, and he was also the only child in the town who did not call him a dung beetle.
...........
"Lord Declan, I have to pay taxes." On a new day, Li Feng carried a large bucket of fresh feces to the tax official to pay tax, but the tax official backed away in disgust.
"Go away, go away, you lunatic, a child cursed by the devil. Never bring such things to me again." The tax officer Declan pinched his nose and drove him away angrily. The crowd of onlookers shouted.
Laughter.
During this time, he was really fed up with the pain of collecting this kind of tax.
He is considered to be the first tax collector in the history of Dia Territory to collect shit. He couldn't stand it and went to the Lord's Mansion yesterday. While the Lord was happy, he asked the benevolent Lord to exempt him from this kind of tax.
Lord Kawendi waved his hand: There is no need to collect this kind of tax in the future. As for the dozens of kilograms of shit that have been collected now, I will leave it to you, Declan, to handle it.
........
The excrement is almost collected and can be left to ferment naturally. Li Feng starts busy with spring plowing.
If he wanted to cultivate it intensively, it would be a big project, and he couldn't do it as a one-armed man.
So, after obtaining the lord's consent, he gave up 30 acres of land and asked Uncle Timke and Aunt Susan's family for help.
According to his request, Uncle Timke used six oxen to pull a heavy plow to plow eight acres of land, and then asked Aunt Susan to help level the land, select seeds, soak seeds, and sow seeds...
It took two weeks of hard work to finally get it done.
However, the real highlight is yet to come.
Uncle Timke refused to do anything about the fermented manure pit at home. Instead, Smith and Aunt Susan's son O'Neill and daughter Catherine were willing to come over and help out of curiosity and Li Feng's delicious food.
They dug out the feces and dried it into black powder. Then they dug some humus soil from the forest to allow the microorganisms in it to speed up the decomposition of organic matter.
Because human feces is highly acidic after fermentation and can easily damage crops, Li Feng had to dig some alkaline river mud from the river and mix it with it to neutralize it.
Solid powder of human and animal manure, humus soil and alkaline river mud, after mixed according to a certain proportion, are highly fertile and easy to absorb. In the era of agricultural civilization, the ultimate organic fertilizer with the widest source of raw materials and the most significant effect of fertilizing the land is completed.
This is the result of thousands of years of Chinese civilization and the crystallization of wisdom gained from Li Feng’s hundreds of years of farming experience. It can be called a gas station for crops.
If this kind of fertilizer is applied, in normal years, even barren land can achieve a bumper harvest.
It's a pity that this Dia leader can't find the rare mineral powder in Dragon Soul Continent. Otherwise, if it is added, the fertility will be raised to a higher level, and it will even be gentler on crops.
But at this level, he was content.
In just a few days, he saw that the wheat seedlings in his 8-acre field were obviously half a centimeter taller than the wheat seedlings in other people's fields, and they were growing well...
