Chapter 175: What a brilliant mind
Chapter 175 Such a strange brain hole
Farming, this is what Qixun wants to do most now.
In the past, she was farming in space, which was all mechanized planting, and grains were actually not much planted, only a few acres of land, mainly for the food of her family. At the same time, it is also her little interest. After all, who doesn't have an idyllic dream in a flower family?
Her space is probably her spiritual hidden home.
Although it has machinery, it is actually very tiring. It’s just that kind of tiredness that can bring spiritual pleasure, so I don’t feel tired.
But these nearly 20 days of land reclamation were nothing more than ploughing and ploughing the land. With so much labor, all of them were tired and barely human. This is still the case when her family provides a large amount of meat and bone broth for energy every day.
In fact, how many ordinary people can afford meat when they farm?
It can be seen how hard it is for farmers to cultivate the land.
This and the mechanized planting of later generations are two completely different farming methods.
Hard work is second, and the yield per mu is really too low.
If in the past, she wanted to improve seeds and develop new agricultural tools, but just wanted to do something, but the desire was not so urgent, after this wasteland reclamation, she really regarded the test field as the most important thing in her life.
People live forever, they should do something.
And in the world, is there anything greater than feeding the world?
Cultivating longevity or something may be an interest or motivation, but that is really not the purpose and meaning of life.
After the ?? land was opened, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. They were all people who had never planted land before. Seeing how hard it was to open a wasteland was actually a little emotional in their hearts.
Qi Xun is bored for a few days now and then and ignores people. In fact, the family is used to it, but this time she was silent for a bit longer.
Even Brother Monkey, the one with the biggest heart, couldn't help but care: "Xiao Xun, what happened to you these two days?"
She felt a little absent-minded when she practiced every night.
This is bad.
Qixun looked blank: "What's wrong?"
"Absent! I haven't seen you smile for a few days, and even Gong Yuchun is close to you, you don't even care, what are you thinking about? If there is something embarrassing, say it, and I, the dignified and beautiful Monkey King Can't solve it?"
Honestly, his family Xiaoxun is not tossing about it, and the whole family is not used to it.
"Cultivation, will you?"
Brother Monkey: .
After successfully choking on Brother Monkey once, seeing him staring at the back of his head and giving him a slap at any time, Qixun immediately said: "Second brother, I'm thinking about the fertilizer of these hundreds of acres of land, how to solve it. The soil is not fertile enough. , the yield of planting is a problem. Although potatoes and sweet potatoes do not require high soil fertilizer, it does not mean that they do not need fertilizer. If you want good yields, the fertility of the land is an issue that cannot be avoided.”
It’s okay to fight Monkey, but he really doesn’t understand about farming.
When Xiao Xun said this, he could only scratch his head: "Cultivation is really troublesome."
It took nearly 20 days to open up the wasteland, and the whole family was busy, but this was just the beginning.
"It's a pity that my Huaguo Mountain is gone. Otherwise, let my monkey children go to pee alone, and everything will be solved."
Seven Searches: .
Such a wonderful brain hole, second brother, the show is still your best!
But what you said is so reasonable that I am unable to refute it.
But this is also called Qixun's eyes brightening, the mulch in the forest is actually the most fertile, and it is better to get it out for farming.
But Shichihiro shook his head immediately.
With her and Brother Monkey there, it was not difficult for the two of them to use the methods of practitioners to create mulch that could cover hundreds of acres of land.
But that doesn't make any sense.
Because this operation has no value for promotion, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of farmers' land fertility.
So we have to think about the accumulation of fertilizer that is suitable for promotion.
Still set aside some fields, plant a season of green manure grass, and then plough deeply. At least these fields can catch up with planting a crop of late corn or late soybeans, and planting soybeans can also support the land.
Qixun remembered that there were seeds of alfalfa, alfalfa, and rat thatch left in her space. She planned to plant dozens of acres. Their geographical location is a little south, with four distinct seasons and a pleasant climate. These three green manures can also be grown.
A local green manure called fish scale leaves is also planted to see which one has better fertility and a shorter growth cycle, and which one will be promoted at that time.
Raising the land with green manure is only one aspect, the most important thing is to accumulate farmyard manure. Weeds, grass ash, livestock manure, and even bones are the raw materials for farmyard manure.
She found out that compared with the developed industry, Daxia's agriculture is far behind. Although Daxia farmers use fertilizer, they only use livestock manure in the most primitive way, even simple composting. nothing. She didn't know if it was like this in the whole Daxia or just here, but she asked the old people in the village, at least no one in Linjiang used composting to solve the problem of land fertility.
The yield of the land is almost really dependent on the sky.
Daxia's system of land is actually extremely strict. In addition to preventing the harshness of the land annexation system, there are also strict regulations for the land under the name of the common people. It must be planted and not allowed to be abandoned. Severe punishment, and in severe cases, Yongyetian may be reclaimed.
Daxia’s territory is too vast, and there is too much farmland per capita. Under this backward productivity, the manpower is limited, and it is very tired to plant all the land.
Therefore, if you want to improve the utilization rate of land and increase productivity, it is almost the only option. Only when the productivity is improved can the overall environment of agricultural production be improved. At that time, people with spare time will naturally think about how to plant the land well. rather than the original question of how to plant the land.
Using green manure and accumulating farmyard manure is the best way that Qihiro can choose temporarily.
After thinking about it clearly, Qixun cheered up: "Come on, second brother, let's go and ask someone to help dig the septic tank."
Brother Monkey feels a headache, how do you think it's one thing?
There are only a few people in our family. Besides, the construction of the new house has started in the past two days. The drainage and sewage system of the house was designed by you. It already includes the sewers. Why do you dig a septic tank?
I would have ignored you if I knew it earlier.
But what can my sister do?
Having said that, his family Xiaoxun has never done anything useless, no matter how much she tossed, anyway, she can do practical things in the end.
Thinking of this, Brother Monkey nodded, and didn't bother to ask her why she was digging the pond: "Okay, I'll find someone right now."
Qixun smiled cheerfully: "Second brother, you are so kind. I dug a hole to compost. The wasteland we opened in our house is too thin to grow anything. First, plant some green manure. If it grows well, it should be able to catch up. Planting in the summer, maybe we can harvest a crop of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes this year. But green manure alone is not enough, we have to compost.”
