Chapter 132 Everything Requires Effort
Chapter 132 Everything Requires Effort
Within a month, the people on the farm had reclaimed all the wasteland at the foot of the mountain.
But it is not time to plant yet. If you want to plant, you can only plant it in a greenhouse.
"Master Wu, it is definitely unrealistic to grow food now. Let's build a greenhouse first, and then we can grow food in the greenhouse. What do you think?"
Master Wu Nong is Wu Zhi. Wu Zhi nodded and said after hearing what Xia Qingqing said.
"Princess, do you want to grow food like you grow vegetables?"
Xia Qingqing nodded and said as she looked at the land that had just been reclaimed.
"But this place definitely can't be used for planting directly. If you want to grow crops, you still have to make the land fertile."
Wu Zhi looked embarrassed. The reason why this wasteland was a wasteland was because it had no value at all, which meant it was not suitable for growing crops.
Even if crops are planted, the yield will not be very much, which is why crops are planted on fertile farmland and wasteland is left abandoned.
Wu Zhi reminded carefully, "Princess, are we going to grow food on the wasteland?"
Xia Qingqing is now constantly thinking about how to make use of these lands. She certainly cannot use them only to grow food. She must plant other things. She wants to turn this place into the largest food production area!
After hearing Wu Zhi's words, he just nodded casually in agreement, but Wu Zhi finally spoke.
"Princess, you may not know that you can't grow crops on this wasteland. Even if you do grow crops, the yield won't be much."
Xia Qingqing retracted her thoughts, looked at him as if he was a fool, and said.
"Then why not just fertilize the land?"
She remembered that she had just said that, so why did he still look so troubled?
Then Xia Qingqing heard Wu Zhi's words, "Princess, this wasteland cannot be turned into fertile fields. If it could be turned into fertile fields, then the whole land would be fertile fields."
"Wait, what fertilizer do you usually use to grow crops?"
Before Wu Zhi could finish his words, Xia Qingqing interrupted him and asked. Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment and then told him all his knowledge.
“Watering, isn’t it?”
"what about others?"
Wu Zhi looked confused, as if he knew nothing. Xia Qingqing was stunned and asked.
“Don’t you use pig and cow manure?”
When Wu Zhi heard Xia Qingqing's words, his eyes widened as if he had heard something extraordinary, and he spoke righteously.
"Princess, how can you use those things to water the food? They are simply inedible!"
Well, after seeing Wu Zhi’s reaction, Xia Qingqing also knew why their agricultural output was so low.
She didn't even know that animal feces could be used. Logically, shouldn't everyone know this? What kind of era has she fallen into?
It feels like everything requires effort.
"Use animal manure and a little water, and if possible, add some straw, fruit peels, fallen leaves, etc., and mix them together to fertilize the land."
Wu Zhi listened carefully, but he felt a little uncomfortable because there was no ancient book that mentioned this method of fertilizing.
Since the princess said so, maybe it is possible. It is not impossible to give it a try.
After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, Wu Zhi wrote it down and immediately went to arrange this matter.
"Wu Zhi, you are crazy. How can these fertilize the soil? Where did you see this remedy? I didn't say anything when you used some remedies randomly, but this is no joke."
Although it is wasteland, even if you can't grow any crops, you can still grow something.
Wu Zhi smiled and shook his head, saying proudly.
"You don't understand this, do you? This is what the princess told me. Don't you believe what the princess says?"
Teacher Zhao was about to curse Wu Zhi, but when he heard the word "princess", he immediately shut his mouth.
The proud expression on Wu Zhi's face made Teacher Zhao itchy, and he couldn't help but ask about the fertilizer.
"What you just said is true? Did the princess really tell you that?"
"Of course not. What the princess said might actually be possible."
Master Zhao Nong still agreed with this statement. They had seen the princess's abilities, so what if she could do it?
If the wasteland can be turned into fertile land, then more food can be grown, and the yield will naturally increase.
It makes them happy to think that those wastelands can be turned into fertile fields. They are farmers themselves, and they became officials because their farming skills were discovered.
The emperor would not allow anyone who had never touched the fields to be an official. Moreover, agriculture is so important that it cannot be arranged casually.
After all, if there are any major discoveries in agriculture, they can greatly benefit the people. Now they are an agricultural society.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it right away according to the princess' instructions. What if we succeed? If we succeed..."
Without Master Zhao Nong saying it, Wu Zhi knew what he was going to say, and this was also what he was thinking in his heart.
If this fertilizer is useful, we can tell the people about this method, and their production will be higher.
They did it right away, but they didn't have any animal manure, so they asked people to go look for some. It just so happened that there was a pig farm nearby that specialized in providing meat to butchers in the capital.
It was definitely possible to get it from there, so I communicated with the people in the pig farm and was told that I could buy manure from them. When the people in the pig farm heard about this, they agreed immediately.
Just kidding, it's hard to make money nowadays. I didn't expect that there are people who even want feces. Even if he doesn't understand, he doesn't care about so much as he has money to earn.
And they need it every day. The pigs in their farm are very good at pooping. A dozen pigs can poop a lot in a day. Wouldn't that make a lot of money?
Only a fool wouldn't sell it.
After buying the manure, according to Xia Qingqing, you should leave it for a while, and when it is almost ready, take it out, mix it with water, and then water it into the ground. This will change the land in the long run.
They are very much looking forward to it.
Xia Qingqing returned to the palace and went to her room and began to read all the encyclopedias in the space, but there was something very strange.
It won't actively enter your brain, but you have to flip through it yourself. However, you can still find what you are looking for, so it is relatively convenient.
Even if I can't remember it, I can just go in and look it up if I want anything in the future. I don't need to worry about it too much.
Xia Qingqing wanted to find out how to make mahjong.
