The card draw is not ruthless, and the gate of the house is unstable

Chapter 49 Fertilizer
Following Deshun to Sinongsi, the purpose of entering is all kinds of agricultural plants, all of which are often seen in the market.

They were planted piece by piece.

"Thank you, this way." Deshun said as he walked into the front corridor.

Because Xie Qingyu's legs were short and his steps were slow, Deshun deliberately walked a little slower, and his steps were also a little smaller.

Try to make Xie Qingyu follow him effortlessly and easily.

After a while, Deshun brought Xie Qingyu to a yard full of small clay pots filled with soil.

There are also many people in official uniforms who are fiddling with something.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Deshun cleared his throat first, and then said:

"My lords, this is Mr. Xie Qian. The emperor ordered our family to bring her to see you, and let you follow Mr. Xie to her farm to watch how the earth eggs and wheat are grown."

All of a sudden, the officials of the Secretary of Agriculture who were busy put down their work.

They clapped their hands and came to Xie Qingyu, and they all saluted and said: "I have seen Mr. Xie."

Si Nong Si now has two Si Nong Shaoqing from the fifth rank, three Si Nong Sicheng from the sixth rank, and two governors from the seventh rank.

Therefore, even though Xie Qingyu is only a fifth-rank general manager, he is on the same level as the highest official in the current official position of the Secretary of Agriculture.

So you still have to salute.

After several people saluted, Xie Qingyu hurriedly returned the salute, and then said:

"I came here today because my manor is going to start planting newly introduced earth eggs and wheat. If several adults are interested, why not go together."

Seeing Xie Qingyu's demeanor, several people couldn't help but wonder whether the emperor wanted this seven-year-old child to be a fifth-rank official farmer because of his superiority.

Although I sneered in my heart, after all, it was Deshun Eunuch who brought it, and also brought the emperor's oral order.

Therefore, several people did not refuse, and readily agreed.

The few people who had no conflicts quickly rode in the carriage, back and forth, out of the palace gate together, and headed towards Xie's farm outside the city.

Yesterday, Xie Qingyu asked Li Yunfeng to take the potatoes she had cut to notify Guanshi Zhang, and asked them to cut the potatoes into the size she had cut, and each piece of potatoes must have bud eyes.

They also summoned people to dig the mud ditch for planting according to a certain width, and went directly to the farm managed by Manager Zhang today to plant soil eggs.

Therefore, as soon as Xie Qingyu and others arrived at the farm, Guanshi Zhang led the staff and waited by the side.

"Miss, everything is ready, shall we go to the field now?" Steward Zhang asked the others to wait.

"Well, bring your things and lead the way." Xie Qingyu nodded, and asked Steward Zhang to take them to the potato planting place.

"Yes, Miss." Steward Zhang nodded, and asked the people from the farm to take the soil eggs to the field first, while he stayed to lead the way.

"My lords, please!" Xie Qingyu turned sideways, letting the people from Sinong go first.

"Thank you sir." Sinonong Shaoqing Zheng Shaoyun also raised his hand.

There are two Sinong Shaoqings, one is Zheng Shaoyun and the other is Lu Weizhi, both are popular candidates for the post of Sinong.

Unexpectedly, it will fall on the seven-year-old child in front of him in the end.

After leaving the manor house, I came to the field that was prepared yesterday.

Looking around, the entire field had already been leveled clean, and there seemed to be piles of black things on it.

Because pigs, cattle and sheep are fed in the manor, a lot of manure is produced every day.

The previous manure was stored in pits, similar to modern septic tanks, but it was a simplified version.

After Xie Qingyu learned about it, he was very happy, so he asked people to get all the feces into the field, and collected the ashes from the fire in the kitchen every day, and brought them all to the field.

Coupled with the straw in the field, it also made people watch a fire burn.

And now there are piles of black things.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guo not only has such things as latrines, but also has septic tanks for treating feces.

But planting crops with dung ash does not exist, at most it is just watering.

The aquaculture industry is developing very well, but farming is somewhat unsatisfactory.

"Master Xie, are these piles of black things all food residues?" Lu Weizhi asked when he saw piles of excrement and plant ash in the field.

There are two elegant names for feces here, one is called food residue, and the other is called excrement.

But Xie Qingyu still prefers the vulgar name, feces.

Xie Qingyu looked at Lu Weizhi who was asking the question, nodded with a smile and said:
"Exactly, it's full of food remnants of pigs, cattle and sheep, as well as stove ashes and straw ash left over from the kitchen fire."

"Although pigs, cattle and sheep are also fed in Zhuangzi, there is a lot of straw produced, and it is inexhaustible to feed cattle and sheep. I asked people to save some forage for cattle and sheep, and for fire, and the rest Burn them all."

"For one thing, plant ash can be used as fertilizer for crops, it can also promote the rooting of crops, and most importantly, it can effectively prevent pests."

"Secondly, the field is full of straw debris and weeds. After being burned, the field looks cleaner."

Several people nodded repeatedly, but still had some doubts, "Master Xie, what's the use of this fertilizer?"

Xie Qingyu thought for a while, and roughly compared:

"Well, it's similar to how we maintain our health? When we are weak, we need to supplement, and the fertilizer for crops is also supplemented. That's probably what it means."

"In short, the effect is to make the crops grow better and produce higher yields. These manures..., oh, are food residues, and these food residues are the best nutrients for crops."

Listening to Xie Qingyu's explanation, everyone suddenly realized again, with such expressions.

"Then let's start!" Xie Qingyu rolled up his sleeves, looked at everyone in the field, clapped his hands, and said loudly:
"Everyone look over here, I will teach you how to place it first."

Seeing that there were too many people, Xie Qingyu changed his mind and said: "How about this, let's come to a few people first, and teach others after you have seen it."

Needless to say, several people from Sinongsi immediately surrounded him.

Several people from Zhuangzi also came, including Guanshi Zhang.

Seeing that it was almost time for people to come over, Xie Qingyu took a few pieces of potatoes, and explained while demonstrating: "The distance between each piece of soil eggs is this far, and then put the mixture of food scraps and plant ash on the soil eggs, and put the soil eggs together. Egg covered."

"The more you put, the higher the harvest, but you should also be careful not to put too much, just the right amount. Otherwise, it is easy to burn the roots and cause the death of the crops."

"The next step is to cover the soil. If you cover the soil, just cover it with fertilizer. It doesn't need to be too thick, just like this."

After digging some soil with the hoe and covering the potatoes covered with feces, Xie Qingyu stood the hoe aside and said, "In this way, the soil eggs are planted!"

"Next, do as I tell you!"

This planting method is easy to understand at first glance, and everyone is used to it, so everyone can get used to it very quickly.

Some throw potatoes, some throw dung, and some mulch.

The strength of a large number of people is reflected, and a lot of effort is cultivated in a short time.
