Chapter 42 Don't underestimate the dirt, you bastard!
In ancient Chinese agriculture, there were three treasures: corn, soybeans, and green vegetables.
The main reason is that these three crops have great benefits for the human body. Compared with grains of the same level at the same time, the three of them may not have the best taste, but they are definitely the most buggy in their ability to replenish the body.
Yu Zai never dreamed that when she came to Tierya's, not only would she be able to get grain seeds, but she would also be able to encounter the vegetables that she had always dreamed of!
This thing is only known to the northwest, southwest, south, north, and east, each with different names. However, it was called rapeseed in ancient times, but it actually has an even older and more beautiful name "Yujiang"!
Blue and white like jade, white mountains and green clouds. It can be seen everywhere, with strong vitality and growth all over the world. It is inseparable from ancient mountains and seas, future generations, and thousands of descendants of China.
Just like thousands of ordinary people!
"Okay, let's just focus on this vegetable. I'll help you decide on this tribe!"
Yu Zai grabbed Huang Shao's hand and shook it hard twice. Huang Shao was stunned for a long time. These are just a few leaves of Brassicae. Is it worth being so excited like you, a Central Plains person?
Could it be said that people in the Central Plains have never eaten this thing?
Huang Shao's thinking began to diverge, while Bai Li Mao and Bai Li Hao stared blankly, somewhat confused.
We just traded ten stones of seeds and established a joint relationship of mutual help, but you turned around and ran to the opposite camp. Isn't it a bit unethical?
But when he thought about some of the techniques that Yuan Zai was going to talk about, Baili Mao didn't say anything. The tall and irritable old man Baili Hao next to him just wanted to speak, but Baili Mao glared at him, so he shrank his head and said
He said nothing.
Ruan Zai wanted to build up his reputation here. In fact, both the Tiel Ya family and the Jing Hua family were very good at planting, and Ruan Zai didn't want to let anyone go, especially after seeing the green vegetables.
At first, I was thinking of hiring an agricultural technical talent from Tierya, but now it seems that even you, Jinghua, can’t escape!
I bought the tillers with plows, and bought your Jinghua with dung. Isn’t this flattering?
Yuzai's mood suddenly became very happy!
There are soybeans, rice, leeks and green vegetables! Hey, this is very comfortable!
Only when you have food in hand can you not panic! Before this, establishing a good relationship with the two tribes who are good at planting will definitely be a matter of great benefit and no harm!
"About composting"
People in the Shanhai era did not know that dung could be used as fertilizer. People like Tiler Ya and others only knew that silt could be used to fertilize farmland. It was not until the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty that people discovered that dung could be used to fertilize fields. From then on, the entire Central Plains entered the era of great dung.
As a bad saying goes, the amount of manure is related to the amount of fertilizer, and the amount of fertilizer is related to the grain harvest. The grain harvest is related to the shortage of grain and grass. The shortage of grain and grass is related to the war and the lives of frontline soldiers.
Therefore, fighting a war is equivalent to fighting dirt, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"In today's bad year, the cultivated land has been destroyed and the crops cannot be produced. So the fields are used to make up for the shortage with manure. The surface acres of the land are covered with prickly grass and grains are grown. The fields are filled with manure. This is a common problem for farmers."
"In our planting, we have the saying of plowing in the spring and working in the summer, and harvesting in the autumn and storing in the winter. However, due to the heat in the south, planting is also done in autumn and winter. Therefore, the land cannot rest at all times. Farming year after year consumes the soil fertility. The method of composting is to combine human and
The dung of the animals was shoveled up and piled into one place."
"So, don't underestimate the dung, everyone!"
Yu Zai said it very clearly and carefully. In short, it was a tasteful speech.
However, the leaders and the people of the two tribes all regarded farming as very important, so after Zanzai finished speaking, several leaders temporarily put aside their grudges and looked at each other.
"Let's try it directly on the tiller's farmland!"
Baili Mao said this, but Huang Shao refused to give in and sneered: "Zhongyuan Xiaowu told me, Jinghua, about the composting method. What does it have to do with you?"
Baili Mao laughed loudly: "Long before you guys came, the shamans of the Chifang clan had promised to teach the method of composting!"
He suddenly thought of what Yu Zai Shen Shen had said before that the land could not be rested, and he immediately understood that it must be the composting method.
"What's more"
Baili Mao stretched out his hand, with the breath of Mu Xing lingering, he smiled and said to Huang Shao: "With us, the results will be available soon. If your witches are not here, they will accuse us of bad things in Chaisang Mountain. Then this
The land that is being composted for the first time, I, Mr. Yao, will not let it go."
"you"
Huang Shao felt a lump of energy in his chest, which was very uncomfortable.
Regarding compost and retting, as the saying goes, dung is real gold and urine is silver. Dirty and filthy things can make the harvest abundant and the people happy.
"Heaven and earth have their own way, and the world follows the way. Even if you plant a plant to marry a wall, you must follow the way."
Several leaders did not quite understand what Yu Zai said, but Yu Zai himself was just expressing his feelings.
Tao, that is something that will be mentioned very later.
Everyone came to a piece of intact cultivated land in the tiller family. The reason why they did not cultivate the deified fertile soil was because they were afraid that the power of the land itself would exceed the effect of compost, thus affecting the intuitive feeling.
Although fresh manure or dry manure has limited fertility, it requires specific means to completely release their "microcosm of manure", put it in a big pit to let it rot, or pile it outside to generate high temperatures. The effect is to adapt to local conditions.
Generally speaking, compost is easier to operate when applied, and it is more effective in killing insect eggs and other substances that are caused by high temperatures. The fertilizer ingredients of retting fertilizer are more uniform, and it is also beneficial to replenish the soil fertility of the land itself.
"Our witch's witchcraft is not inferior to that of Baili Mao of the Tingling Ya family."
Huang Shao said to Yu Zai: "On this piece of land, you, Tier Ya, are going to pick up excrement. I will send someone to go with you, and then send two people back to wait for our shaman. I think he will be able to come here in two or three days.
Chaisangshan is back."
"Baili Mao can pull up trees from the ground and summon shadows and fog, while our witches can boil the energy of mountains and swamps."
Huang Shao looked very proud: "Don't underestimate the Jinghua family! We are the descendants of Xigong and the authentic sect of the gods of Jieshan Mountain!"
Bailihao laughed: "The mountain god is Zhengzong, then we are the Zhengshuo of heaven and earth, and I am the son of heaven! Dragon ghosts serve the sky, and you mountain god is just a bird!"
It is a good thing that the two patriarchs did not speculate or fight. In short, this land became a special place for verification, and the verification did not take long. What is very good about the two wizards is that their abilities
, just for composting, they can complement each other.
What we need to do now is
Pick up dirt!
Of course, during the process of picking up dung, Huang Shao saw the plow of the Tiel Ya family and immediately asked in surprise. However, the Tiel Ya family shaman said: "This is a gift given to us by the Akafang family. How about it?"
,Not bad right?"
He said this, but the feeling in his mouth was all about showing off.
Huang Shao thought for a while, turned around to Yu Zai, and suddenly said:
"Wizard of the Akakata clan, I think we can talk about the issue of brassica seeds now. I don't know how many you want. I will send someone to deliver them to you."
As he spoke, he glanced at the two leaders of the Tierya clan.
"I'm afraid there aren't many seeds left in the tiller bud family, but we, the Jinghua family, still have a lot in stock here!"
