The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 166 Exploring Planting Experience
As the host family, Hongji personally entertained the county magistrate who appeared in casual clothes and led these visiting groups.

The so-called mighty and mighty, the team of hundreds of people are all the most capable people in the county.

For example, the rich and rich, such as the Lizheng of every village, and the mayors of some towns, and even the security teams of every town have sent people to protect the high-ranking parents and officials.

The yamen servants ran around all night, but they cheered up. When a group of them entered the manor, the first thing they observed was of course the watermelon field.

Some people have picked a lot of watermelons before and shipped them to sell, and some people brought by your lady also picked watermelons. This does not mean that there are no watermelons in the watermelon fields.

There are several large melons in a watermelon seedling in the watermelon field. No matter if you pick one, the other will ripen immediately. And after many people picked the watermelon, the watermelon saplings began to bloom and grow small melons again.

It's like a watermelon that never sheds. This watermelon is big and round, and each weighs more than ten catties. If you open one, more than ten people can eat it.

The visiting group of dozens of people, of course, opened the watermelon. Everyone was thirsty, and tasting the watermelon just quenched their thirst.

Some people even saw green cucumbers, cucumbers, or big red papayas in the fields. These melons and fruits can be eaten as fruits, and they taste delicious.

Some people set off at dawn in the morning and feel a little hungry until now. The fruits in the manor just satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst.

Magistrate Meng had eaten watermelons, lychees, and even vegetables from the Tang family at home.

In the imagination in his mind, he had never seen such a perfect scene. Seeing so many fruits and vegetables in the manor, he touched his mustache, and felt that it was right for the visiting group to bring everyone here this time.

He just wanted to let everyone see what farmers can get rich by planting. Don't tell him all day long that their place is poor and they can't pay taxes.

How can you have a chance to make a fortune if you don't work hard?He wanted him to subsidize the relief money, and said that the salaries of the town mayor and Li Zheng couldn't be paid.

Then let them see that farmers in Bushen Village can also make a fortune by planting, and bring many villagers to make a fortune together.

Don't just say that only the rich can hire long-term workers. Didn't the former commoners also hire long-term workers?
The county magistrate Meng asked Hongji to tell everyone how many acres of melons, rice, vegetables, or fruit trees on the mountain have been planted.

Acer introduced everyone one by one, and talked about the harvest this time. He said in a low-key way that it was much less.

After listening to Hongji's introduction, everyone was surprised. This season's rice has not been harvested yet. They looked at the rice seedlings in the paddy field.

It seems that one mu of land has at least 800 catties of harvest. This is just their experienced guess as farmers.

In the next few towns, where there are many rice fields, and where there are more rice fields, they all have ideas.

Since the cultivation of melons and fruits is good, it is not as good as the cultivation of food, and a better harvest will be obtained.

As a farmer, even if there are no vegetables to eat, you can still pick wild vegetables. If you grow more vegetables, it is also a problem if you can’t sell them. Food is different, and food is always the focus of farmers.

In those towns with many mountains and few paddy fields, especially those places with only big mountains but no paddy fields, there are many rocks on the mountains in such places.

Not to mention growing rice, it is difficult to grow fruits, so we can only grow some cold-resistant fruits, such as plum trees that can be made into plums.

Another example is peach trees and plum trees whose flowers can be picked and can resist cold.

Litchi trees and longan trees like Yejia Manor can also be planted, and their planting experience can also be learned.

It stands to reason that the farmers in these towns are more experienced in planting fruit trees than those who are full-time rice growers, but seeing their fruit trees growing so well all over the mountain.

Look at the age of those fruit trees. Isn't this a seedling that has been planted for more than a year?It's amazing to bear fruit in the second year.

Hongji took so many people to visit the paddy fields of the manor, and then went to visit the mountains.

People see so many chickens, ducks and geese under the fruit. This is a purely natural breeding base. Even bees fly on the trees.

This is really a place of geomantic omen. Someone discovered that the fruit trees on the mountain are used to divert water entirely with bamboo, which completely explains why there is no drought on the hill in such a hot day.

Some people are thinking, the ditch at the bottom of the mountain is so much lower than the pool on the mountain, how is the water from the pool on the mountain drawn up?
When their visiting group entered the mountain and climbed to the top of the mountain, they saw why the water source can float down the mountain?

It turns out that the opposite side of this hill is only as big as a small road, that hill is relatively high, and the water source flows down from the stream of that hill.

In order to have a water source on the hill, the water source from the opposite mountain is introduced into the pool on the top of the mountain by means of bamboo tubes, so that it flows to every part of the orchard below the mountain.

This place in Xinxian County has relatively good water conservancy. Water from a reservoir can flow here from a far away place next door, which makes the water conservancy of this village very strong.

In dry and cold weather, the paddy fields here will not run out of water.

Most of the paddy fields here are terraced fields, but this does not affect the planting.

As long as you work hard, you can have enough food. This is why people in this village can grow miscellaneous grains and eat enough to eat if you work hard.

The county magistrate took everyone to visit Bushen Village and planted the best manor.

At the beginning, everyone was eager and passionate, thinking about the experience they saw during the visit, and they followed suit when they returned home.

But someone noticed with keen eyes that there is more than one manor in Bushen Village, and several hills near the village are planted with manors and fruit trees.

And the crops in their manor are yellow, and the fruit trees on the mountain are yellow and dying.

Such a big contrast makes people fall into contemplation, what kind of technology does the Ye family's manor have?
This is the secret that the farmers want to know, so some people started to inquire. First, someone asked Acer's planting technology.

Hongji doesn't manage the estate very much, so he briefly talked about his experience as a farmer.

Others listened and felt that this was just a common experience, and anyone who had ever grown rice and vegetables would understand.

It seems that this boss did not tell the secrets and tricks, and has reservations about them.

So someone asked those long-term workers again, and what Cheng Cheng said was similar to what the boss said, that is, ordinary planting and then fertilizing and watering.

Everyone asked again, what kind of fertilizer does the boss use for planting so many fruit trees and these fruits and vegetables?
What Chang Gong answered was that human poo and urine, as well as livestock urine and poo, especially chicken, duck, goose, and pig poo, are the easiest to grow when planting vegetables and fruits.

Those who heard about these experiences were all experienced farmers. They would use these when they planted, and they thought it was nothing. These are just ordinary planting methods. It is really puzzling why their manors are so lush.
