Escape from the desert

Chapter 125 Humus Soil

Jiang Yan was taken aback by his firm gaze. If the whole village were to plant it, how could she have cultivated so many seedlings by herself, but she could not directly distribute the good seeds of the mall to the villagers.

"If the whole village were to plant together, I wouldn't be able to cultivate so many seeds by myself. Can I arrange a few people in the village to help?"

Li Zheng couldn't wait to pat Jiang Yan's shoulder, but thinking about the difference between men and women, he could only slap Lin Fangzi vigorously: "What's the matter, Xiaojiang, don't worry, I'll let Fangzi find a few people to cooperate with you, you just order They go to work, if the rice can be planted successfully this evening, you will be the benefactor of our Linjia Village in the future!"

The voices of the few people were not small. The nearby villagers put down the rice in their hands and surrounded them. There was still a layer of shallow water in the rice fields, and even the fields were still muddy, but those people didn't care. Muddy feet, excitedly approaching the crowd.

Some people were in disbelief, some were very excited, and some whispered, and they all disagreed with Aunt Jiang's statement, but when they heard that her family was willing to plant the seeds first, they hesitated again.

No matter in that era, food is always the most important thing for farmers, and it is the foundation for them to settle down.

If there is another season, they are not afraid of hard work, but afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty.

"Impossible! If we could grow rice for two seasons, so many people in our village would not have starved to death in the past few years!" A villager's voice choked, and his family starved to death. He will never forget that scene. .

"That's right, you can't talk nonsense, I will believe it!"

"I've already believed it. Aunt Jiang is willing to plant first, so I was willing to, so that if I can harvest this year, my family will be able to have a full meal for the New Year!"

"Yeah, we peasants will have a little life on the ground!"

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. It's just some seed money. Aunt Jiang also asked everyone to grow peppers this year, so it won't hurt everyone."

Everyone said a word, most of them are willing to follow Jiang Yan to give a try. This time, they all paid a small part of the money for planting peppers. Everyone has a little bit of copper in their hands. If they rely on the autumn harvest alone, it is indeed difficult for everyone to eat three meals a day. .

The people in the village are not stupid. They really haven’t read books and don’t know a few words, but they are all hard-working and simple farmers who are willing to put in more effort to try it out. no problem.

Jiang Yan looked at everyone with a smile, and said, "I know that everyone wants to grow more food. If everyone is willing to believe me, they can learn from my sons to rectify the paddy fields after cutting the rice. Say."

"I didn't have this idea before. The main reason was that there was not much water in the well in our village, and there was little rain and drought. Every year, everyone worried that the water in the well would not be enough to eat, but now it is different. Now the village uses water from the mountains. As long as you are diligent, you will definitely be able to plant successfully.”

After all, most people in the village are skeptical, and Jiang Yan is too lazy to explain, anyway, as long as she grows out, there will definitely be people who will follow next year, just to see how many people can have foresight this year.

Li Zheng nodded and said excitedly, "I don't care about other people's houses. Anyway, the village chief and I will follow you. I think we can do it!"

Hearing this, the village chief also turned to look at Jiang Yan. A lot of things happened during this time, and they were all related to Aunt Jiang, from when she discovered the water source to when she took a knife to cut down her own brother in Jiangjiazhai, and now she has With the whole village planting peppers, Aunt Jiang supported a family by herself and became the richest man in the village, and now she has to drive the whole village... She really doesn't know how Aunt Jiang did it, but now Aunt Jiang was inexplicably convincing, he wanted to believe her.

Jiang Yan took Lin Nanxian home. How many villagers are willing to follow this year's planting? The village chief and Lizheng will handle the communication.

"Mother, if the whole village follows us, what can we do if we can't plant it?" Lin Nan is a little uneasy. He doesn't worry about whether it will be successful or not. Anyway, the mother is happy, but if the whole village is together, there will be no time to do so. Once planted, the village will definitely not give up.

"How can you know if you don't try it? It's their voluntary choice of the race in the village, and I'm sure I can do it."

The two were on their way home, and the fallen leaves were squeaked, Jiang Yan had a flash of inspiration, and continued: "These leaves are also good, in autumn, the leaves in the mountains fell to the ground, and they piled up on the mountains. Waste, when the time comes to rectify the paddy fields, you tell everyone to get the rotten leaves into the fields, which is also fertilizer."

After the leaves fall to the ground, they will be decomposed into humus by microorganisms and some other acid components in the soil. This is a kind of nutrient soil. It is a natural organic fertilizer when mixed into paddy fields. No, then she would get up in the middle of the night and quietly sprinkle the fertilizer from the store on everyone's fields.

"Those rotten leaves? Mother, can it really work? The rotten leaves are wet and smelly, and there are many earthworms. Can they be used as fertilizer?"

Lin Nan listened with great interest, and always felt that my mother knew a lot of things. Could it be because my mother could read words faster than them?Even the eldest cousin said that mother reading is the best among them all.

"It can be done." Encyclopedias are all written and alive, and they are all truths left by predecessors' practice.

"But you have to remember that for those who want the lower layer to rot, you will take someone to look for the bamboo rafts in the mountains. Where there is a water source, the soil is moist, and there are more rotten leaves. Since we want to plant, let's work harder and give it to him. If the food is done well, if it can be done, no one in the village will starve to death. This second season of late rice is planted by us spontaneously, and how much we plant is ours."

Lin Nan couldn't help but calculate, just not having to pay taxes is enough to attract him. There is no tax, and the amount of planting is his own. This temptation is simply huge for him.

"It's a pity, our family only has five acres of paddy fields. It would be better if our family had more land." Lin Nan felt a little regretful. He believed in his mother, and subconsciously thought that he could succeed. He only hated that his own paddy fields were too few.

"Our family can buy some paddy fields. I'll discuss it with the village chief later, just in case you won't be able to plant them by then."

"Don't worry, mother, I have planted as many as you want!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing: "I mean you want to make our business bigger and stronger. You are a careless person, thinking about doing your best in the field all day long."

Lin Nan smiled shyly. During this period of time, he naturally knew that his mother planned to give him the business of selling soap, but farming was also very important, and food was the foundation of human beings.

Jiang Yan naturally knew what he was thinking. The Lin family were all honest farmers, and the brothers of the Lin family were even more used to farming. They used to be too scared to eat a full meal, so land and food were very important to them. ,is the most important.

And what she has to do is to train them, slowly walk out of this village, even out of this town, farming can harvest food, but doing business to make money can get more food.

"I didn't build two more vacant warehouses when I repaired the warehouse before. You go back and free up one, and I will use it to cultivate the seedlings." At night, buy rice seeds in the mall, and then buy some nutrient soil. The temperature and humidity of the warehouse are easy to control, and you can use it at any time. Seed germination was observed.
