Mu Zhenshan's words cleared up some of Lin Jue's doubts.
When Lin Jue found out that the land in the valley was not suitable for farming, he actually felt strange in his heart. Taoyuan Dazhai was established more than a hundred years ago. Didn't the people who built the village realize that the land was not suitable for farming? Can a piece of land grow
Where crops are grown, no matter how good the terrain is, it is in vain, but why did they still put down roots here in the first place?
Now this question has been answered from Mu Zhenshan's words. It turns out that the land here did not have such problems in the beginning. This is actually in line with Lin Jue's knowledge. This volcanic crater may be tens of millions of years old.
It was formed by the previous eruption. Long years have passed, and the dust and fallen leaves have already covered the valley with a thick layer of fertile soil. It should have been land suitable for farming. Therefore, the founder of Taoyuan Dazhai will
Set up camp and settle down here.
So, why the land here has become like this is really puzzling. But now based on Mu Zhenshan's oral description, Lin Jue suddenly felt that the earthquake eight years ago should actually be an underground volcanic movement.
The intensity of the earthquake is low, so it will naturally not cause any abnormalities. If the intensity of the earthquake is large, it is very likely that the violent crustal movement will turn up a large amount of sulfur-containing soil formed by the volcanic eruption buried deep below.
Or it can be understood that because the pressure underground is high, the high temperature and high pressure will push the sulfur and various substances in the volcano upward. During an earthquake, the soil loosens and forms cracks on the surface, so the sulfur and other substances
Materials drilled into the surface soil along these cracks.
From the current point of view, Lin Jue is certain that it must be one of the above two reasons, or both. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the sudden change in the soil on the ground and the sudden change in the water quality in the lake. This situation was explained by Mu Zhen
There is some truth in the mountain being attributed to God's punishment. This is indeed a disaster caused by the changes in heaven and earth, but it does not happen to punish anyone in particular.
After Mu Zhenshan said this, he stared blankly at Lin Jue and said: "Master Fang, you just said you could solve this soil problem for us, but you don't know what good solution you have? To be honest, I don't believe you have any ideas.
Good idea, but I really want to solve this huge problem in Dazhai. If you really have a way to solve this problem for me, I promise you that tomorrow morning, I will fight against all odds and agree to the conditions you just proposed.
.But I keep my words in mind. Since you tempted me to reveal the secret of my cottage, but there is no solution, I will not allow you two to leave alive. This secret is related to the life and death of my cottage. Don't blame me for being unethical.
.”
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "Leader Mu is very quick to talk, at least he is not like some people who hide their heads and show their tails. Since I dare to speak out, I know the benefits. Some things may not be solved in your opinion, but in my opinion they are easy to solve.
Let's do this. You will show your support for us at the alliance tomorrow. After that, I will stay in Guizhai for a few days to teach you how to solve the problem. If I can't do it, our lives are also in your hands. You can kill us.
We were silenced. What does Leader Mu think?"
Mu Zhenshan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and said: "Happy! A gentleman's words are as fast as a whip. I believe in the character of Alliance Leader Mu. We don't need to write any agreement, just high-five as an oath."
Mu Zhenshan smiled and stretched out his hand to high-five Lin Jue. Mu Buping, who was sitting next to each other, shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Mu Zhenshan was stunned, turned around and asked, "What do you think, my son?"
Mu Buping held up his hands and said: "Dad, don't be fooled by them. He said he could change the soil of my village, but my son didn't believe it. How can he prove that he has such ability? Tomorrow, dad supported them and let them After achieving the goal, if they can't do it later, even if we kill them, won't it still give Luoyan Valley Dazhai an advantage?"
"This..." Mu Zhenshan frowned and thought.
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "The second village leader is too cautious. If we break our promise, we will lose our lives. Why should Luoyangu's identity in Funiu Mountain be used? To be honest, in fact, this official identity is not important to us. We don't have much effect. We came here out of respect for the leader Mu and the Funiu Mountain Alliance Conference. Even if we don't come, can you really destroy my Luoyan Valley Dazhai? I Luoyan Valley Dazhai now has thousands of soldiers and horses, and plenty of armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and food and grass. How many soldiers and horses do you need to send to destroy us? Besides, are you all monolithic? How many soldiers and horses, how much food and grass are needed for each stronghold, and who will lead the attack? Who attacks first and who attacks last? Just because of these things, you might have been arguing among yourself for a year with no results. We are here to give you a step down. If we don’t come, you won’t even have a step down. Why should I take the risk? Are you in danger of your life?"
"..."
Mu Zhenshan and his son looked embarrassed and speechless. They were very surprised. This man seemed to know their situation very well. Indeed, what he said was right. Don't look at the cruel mouths of these village leaders. Take it seriously. If we want to send troops to jointly annihilate Luoyangu Dazhai, there will inevitably be a lot of squabbling and quarrels among the people. I am afraid that no one will be willing to send more troops, more food and grass, and will not be willing to lead the battle to die. In the end, the whole thing may still be settled. Or it may take a long time to reach a compromise. By then, Luoyangu Dazhai may have already prepared all its troops.
"Despite this, I am still willing to clear up the doubts of the Second Village Master. Without diamonds, I will not accept the porcelain work. Alliance Leader Mu, Second Village Master, please take a look."
Lin Jue reached out and grabbed the tea cup in front of him, tipped the tea inside to the ground, then grabbed the kettle and poured a cup of water into the tea cup. After that, Lin Jue used a teaspoon to dig out a few pieces of soil he brought and put them in the water. Stir it up. Soon the mud dissolves in the water, and the cup of clear water turns into a cup of dark, turbid mud water.
Mu Zhenshan and his son looked at all this in confusion, wondering what Lin Jue was up to. Lin Jue pushed the cup of water in front of the two of them and said, "Smell the smell of this water."
Mu Zhenshan frowned, and Mu Buping said: "There's no need to smell it, the smell has already floated out, and it's very pungent. What on earth are you going to do?"
Lin Jue said: "This is a cup of mud water with a pungent and unpleasant smell. It is enough to prove that this kind of soil is the reason why crops in Guizhai cannot survive and the harvest is not high."
"What do you have to say? Don't we know?" Mu Buping rolled his eyes.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. I'll do a trick for you. I'll lend you some pieces of tissue paper."
The Mu family father and son were confused, but they immediately followed the instructions and ordered someone to bring a stack of papyrus. Lin Jue took a stack of paper and lit it on the candle. As the flames jumped, the several pieces of papyrus quickly turned into ashes.
Lin Jue carefully collected the ashes. Because the paper was made of grass stem bark, it had a lot of impurities, and the ashes were only a handful. Lin Jue poured all the ashes into the cup of muddy water.
, stir quickly with a teaspoon.
The originally turbid muddy water became even more turbid and black after the ashes were added to it, like a cup of sludge water. Mu Zhenshan, his son, Gao Muqing, stared at the sewage in the tea cup, thinking it was serious.
Some miracle will happen. I am afraid of missing something, so I don't blink.
Gao Muqing didn't know what Lin Jue was going to do. She naively thought that Lin Jue could turn stones into gold. Maybe he could turn a cup of sewage into a cup of clean water. That would be an amazing trick. However, the cup of water remained the same.
It's just a little thicker.
Lin Jue finally stopped stirring. The cup of muddy water was still black and spinning inside the quilt. It looked the same on the outside.
"Is this why you're doing tricks?" Mu Buping asked with a teasing sneer on his lips.
Gao Muqing glanced at Lin Jue and felt sorry for her man. It was so embarrassing. Her husband failed. No miracle happened.
Lin Jue sat still, staring at the glass of turbid water: "Wait a moment."
"Haha, even if I sit here with you all night, can this glass of water still turn clear?" Mu Buping said more and more mockingly.
Lin Jue did not answer, but tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a monotonous sound. The Mu family and his son waited patiently, and the room was silent and filled with an awkward atmosphere.
When Mu Zhenshan was a little impatient, Lin Jue finally said: "Okay."
"That's it! What kind of trick is this?" Mu Zhenshan chuckled. He was already glad that his son had reminded him, otherwise he would have high-fived the other party by now. He almost fell into this guy's trap.
"You two, smell the smell of this glass of water again." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"What smells good? Well, let's see what tricks you do today. Huh? How..." Mu Buping put his nose next to the tea cup. He was already prepared for the pungent smell, but he was suddenly surprised.
Voice.
"What?" Mu Zhenshan asked in surprise.
"It seems... it seems... the smell is gone, it's just the smell of earth, that pungent smell... gone." Mu Buping said blankly, blinking his eyes.
"How is that possible?" Mu Zhenshan stretched his neck and put his white-haired head next to the tea cup. The father and son opened their nostrils and sniffed vigorously, like two dogs that had discovered the scent of prey.
"Sure enough, there really isn't any smell at all. This... this is amazing." Mu Zhenshan also exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Jue laughed heartily, and Gao Muqing on the side was overjoyed. It worked, the husband didn't lie, it really happened. It turned out that the husband's trick was not to turn the glass of muddy water into clear water, but to make the pungent smell disappear.
"Now the soil in this cup can be used to grow any kind of crops. I have removed the things that are not conducive to the growth of crops." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"That is... why is that?" Mu Buping shouted in surprise.
"You don't understand even after I told you. You two should not ask why. In short, the mud settled in the water can be used to grow any crops."
Lin Jue didn't mean to belittle Mu Zhenshan and his son. He really couldn't explain it to them. The potassium carbonate in the plant ash neutralizes the acidity in the soil. If he told them about this chemical reaction, they would only become more confused. There was no need to elaborate.
