Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 362 Base Fertilizer
The more He Yong thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. He became anxious, and he didn't care about etiquette. He grabbed Gu Qi's sleeve with one hand and wanted to take him out:

"Brother Qi, I can't wait for tomorrow, you will go to the river beach with me today to see the situation."

Gu Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing that it was really not too late, and thinking of the matter in a hurry, he also agreed: "Then I will go with Mr. He."
-
On the bank of the river, Gu Qi asked someone to pull out the bamboo pole inserted into the river, and handed the end of the bamboo pole covered with river mud to He Yong:
"Master He, look, given the depth of the river mud, if all of it is dug away, at least one and a half feet of river can be cleared down."

He Yong was also shocked when he saw it.

The location they are currently testing is at the shallowest part of the river beach, which is less than two feet deep. Unexpectedly, when they dig down, the mud under the river beach is actually a foot and a half!

If the silt in the entire river is this deep, the water level can be reduced by at least half if the silt is hollowed out.

This is much more useful than trying to find a way to raise the embankment in a hurry.

What's more, the salvaged river mud can also be mixed with sand and gravel to fill sacks, and then piled on the river bank. It is cost-effective to use it for both ends.

Gu Qi didn't pay attention to He Yong's expression, he just watched the river workers who had just entered the water to salvage, and when he shoveled out a large piece of river mud and threw it on the river bank, he suddenly said:
"I have something I want to discuss with Mr. He."

Gu Qi just solved a big problem for him, He Yong is in a good mood now, and naturally everything is easy to discuss, he said: "Brother Qi, don't be polite, just talk about something."

"Tomorrow Qi will ask someone to pack all the rocks and soil that have been cleared up after excavating the canal outside Xiahetang Village and send them to Mr. He, so that Mr. He can use it to strengthen the river bank to resist flooding and flood control."

This is a good thing, and it is useful for water conservancy, He Yong naturally has no reason not to agree.

Thinking of this, He Yong couldn't help feeling: I didn't expect that although this young master Qi was young and came from a businessman background, he was a good man with a righteous heart and a sincere heart for the country and the people.

It's not good for such a good person to always make others suffer.After all, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport these rocks and sand back and forth.

Out of good intentions and a trace of apology, He Yong couldn't help reminding him euphemistically: "Actually, as long as we hurry up these two days and clean up all the silt in the river, it will be enough."

Gu Qi didn't know what was going on in He Yong's head just now, so he just continued: "This is what I want to discuss with Mr. He, and I want to exchange the rocks and soil for the river mud salvaged by Mr. He.

Of course, I will not make it difficult for Mr. He. Whether it is the packing and transportation of rock and soil, or the packing and returning of river mud, the people below will handle it with one hand. There is no need to use Mr. He's manpower, and there will be no waste of Mr. He's water control. effort.

In addition, I guarantee that the number of stones delivered will definitely exceed the number of river mud. "

What's the situation?
Didn't he care about the common people, didn't he just order someone to bring the packed sand over for him to relieve his worries?
Why do you want to pull the river mud back again?

Seeing He Yong's face full of surprise, Gu Qi thought that He Yong was worried about the urgent need to repair the river and was unwilling to waste extra manpower, so he said:

"Master He, don't worry, the fifty bodyguards lent by Sihai to the government office will be used by Mr. He during this period of time, and they will not be produced in the packing and transportation of river mud."

That's not what He Yong was worried about, but he just couldn't figure out what use the river mud was for Young Master Qi.He Yong has a straightforward temperament, so he just asked directly if he couldn't figure it out:
"Brother Qi wants this river mud for another use?"

Gu Qi nodded and did not hide it: "The river mud is fertile and has a good effect on improving the soil."

He Yong was stunned for a moment, but his first reaction was: I didn't expect this young man from a rich family who looked handsome and skinny to be familiar with farming.

When I came back to my senses, I thought about it again, and sighed secretly: I was born as a merchant, and I really didn’t suffer at all. Even these humble river mud can be used for profit.

"Is Master He in trouble?"

He Yong came back to his senses: "There is no embarrassment, it's just a trivial matter. Since this river mud is useful to Brother Qi, just pull it away by yourself."

He Yong's temper is sharper than Wang Hebin's, but that doesn't mean He Yong is really a straightforward fool.

He Yong knew exactly what the resources in Sihai's hands meant to Lushan County. He didn't say anything else, he just said that the fifty agile bodyguards who were working under him now were sent to help for free, and they also returned I packed three meals a day by myself.

Cannibals are short-mouthed and soft-handed. With this alone, it is impossible for me to embarrass the God of Wealth for such a trivial matter as exchanging sand and stone for river mud.

"Then thank you, Mr. He."

Gu Qi really didn't think about digging river mud before, it wasn't until today when he went with He Yong that Gu Qi remembered the benefits of this river mud.

Because river mud has accumulated for a long time, it is rich in organic substances such as phosphorus and nitrogen, which is very suitable for the growth of crops. Using river mud as a base fertilizer will help improve the yield and quality of crops.

Especially for rice, there have been local cases where high-quality river mud has improved the soil quality, so that the yield per mu has reached double kilograms for eight consecutive years.

Naturally, Dakang's current rice planting is impossible to achieve sufficient mass production in terms of technology, mechanization, and grain cultivation level, but it is feasible to improve the soil environment appropriately and increase the yield and quality as much as possible under limited conditions. Sex is still great.

Especially the [-] mu of wasteland outside Xiahetang Village, because of its original soil quality, even after it was completely reclaimed and loosened, the quality of the original soil was not enough to meet the requirements for planting crops.

It's not that it can't be planted at all, but the survival rate, yield, and quality are much worse.

In this case, the river mud can be neutralized as the base mud, which can play a big role in enhancing the soil's water capacity, fertility, and the proportion of humus and organic matter.
-
After returning to Xiahetang Village, Gu Qi asked Jiang Ping to arrange manpower overnight, and asked the villagers of Xiahetang Village to buy available sacks, and bagged all the sand, gravel and mud that had been cleared after digging ditches and some land reclamation in the past two days.

Let the monkey go to Luoshan Village again, and let people send all the carriages and horses in the village to Xiahetang Village for backup.

There is river mud in the river outside the city of Lushan County, so there is also mud in the river pond in Xiahetang Village, and because the formation time is longer, the quality of the mud deposited during the period is naturally better.

However, the pond in Xiahetang belongs to the village resources of Xiahetang Village, so it is not something that Gu Qi can use easily.

Even if the pond mud in the lower river pond is hollowed out, the water level of the river pond will drop, but this reason cannot convince the villagers now, unless they can find a more useful method or enough benefits to make them clean up the river mud spontaneously come out.

Fortunately, this matter is not in a hurry right now, and it's not too late to make plans after all the responsible plots are contracted out.
