Chapter 60 Saline-alkali Land Improvement

Soon, Lin Yun finished washing, picked up a fried dough stick and started eating it.

There are rice porridge and several plates of exquisite side dishes on the table, which is absolutely beautiful.

Lin Yun enjoyed eating.

At this time, Lin Wuyue suddenly came to him and whispered: "How is it? Who is better, me or Wanqing?"

Lin Yun almost choked, coughed violently, and said strangely: "Wuyue, why do you ask such a boring question?"

"Humph, you ask too? Wanqing asked you?"

Lin Wuyue grabbed Lin Yun's hand.

Lin Yun trembled all over, quickly took out his hand, and said with a dry smile: "Can you let me stop for a meal?"

Lin Wuyue could only give up.

However, seeing the unhappy look on her face, Lin Yun sighed inwardly.

In the eyes of outsiders, enjoying the blessings of others is a good thing that all men dream of.

But now, Lin Yun had a feeling that something was wrong. Just now Lin Wuyue grabbed his hand, and Lin Yun clearly dodged.

Even though he has a strong body, he cannot withstand the torture of two ladies.

He can barely cope with it now, but if Oona is added to the mix, he may not be able to get even rain and dew at all.

Especially since Oona is still a Lianjiazi, her physical fitness is definitely not that good.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun suddenly felt that the fried dough sticks in his mouth no longer tasted good.

With that said, Lin Yun threw the remaining half of the fried dough stick into the bowl, stood up and said, "Um...I'm going out first!"

Lin Wuyue immediately stood up and said, "Ms. sir..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yun had disappeared.

Here, the old village chief learned of Lin Yun's order last night and had already informed the villagers about the upcoming crops.

Everyone now has great trust in Lin Yun.

Although I don’t really believe in the Zhuang Zhong family, I don’t object to it either.

After all, it was Lin Yun who made them live a good life.

At this moment, the old village chief stood in a wasteland outside the village.

This was where villagers tried to farm.

If you look carefully, you can see that there are several ridges and furrows on the wasteland, which are traces left by the villagers who once farmed.

However, as time goes by, this trace has become less and less obvious.

"Oh, such a large piece of land is really wasted! If Mr. Lin really has a way, it will be a good thing with immeasurable merit!"

The old village chief murmured to himself, took a puff from his pipe, and bursts of green smoke came out.

As everyone knows, Lin Yun had already come behind him and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry! If I take the initiative to mention this matter, there will definitely be a way to solve it!"

The old village chief was startled and quickly turned around to look.

Lin Yun looked at the ground beneath his feet.

The water loss is so serious that stepping on it is like stepping on ashes, it is very loose.

In the eyes of people from this world, this land is indeed barren.

But Lin Yun is a time traveler after all, and he majored in geology in college.

It can be said that his research on land is absolutely expert.

"Mr. Lin, are you trying to divert water from the lake for watering? We have tried this method before, but it didn't work at all!"

Lin Yun knelt down and grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground. The breeze blew and dust flew all over the sky.

"Of course you can't water it directly! This land has lost its vitality! No matter how much water you pour, it won't help, it will sink into the ground!"

"What should we do? This is the only way!"

The old village chief looked worried. Lin Yun smiled slightly and said: "Who said this is the only way? You always gather ten villagers and bring plowing tools with you!"

The old village chief didn't know why, so he could only nod and follow the instructions.

Soon, a dozen villagers came over carrying shovels on their shoulders.

"Master Lin, everyone is here!"

Lin Yun nodded and said loudly: "Fellow fellow villagers, Niubei Village has been unable to get rid of poverty, let alone eat the food grown at home, because the land is barren! But now that Lin Yun is here, he will never ignore it! I know, everyone I’m questioning it in my heart, so I don’t want to explain more!”

"As long as everyone is still willing to believe me! Then listen to my order. Now shovel the soil on this land to a depth of about one foot! This is heavy physical work, but for the future of Niubei Village, everyone should work hard. !”

"Master Lin, there is no need to explain, we are willing to believe you!"

"That's right! You have done so many things for our Niubei Village! It's all for everyone's good!"

"That's right, even though we haven't read the book, we can still tell the difference between good and bad!"

Everyone's words made Lin Yun feel warm in his heart.

My efforts during this period were finally not in vain.

"Okay! Let's start now!! Lin Yun would like to thank everyone!"

Lin Yun bowed.

Everyone immediately dug up the ground enthusiastically.

The villagers are no longer as thin and weak as before.

Now that I live a good life and have enough to eat, I will naturally have more energy to work.

At this time, the old village chief asked: "Master Lin, I have tried this method of plowing before!"

"Hey, don't question me! You were just plowing the land back then. I want to get rid of all the soil this time!"

"No more?"

The old village chief looked blank.

Lin Yun nodded and smiled and said: "Yes! There is no point in keeping these lands! They have completely lost their value! Therefore, I plan to turn this wasteland over again!"

In about an hour, a large hole was dug out of an entire acre of land.

The villagers were so tired that they were sweating profusely.

But what was excavated was indeed relatively moist soil.

The old village chief saw this, slapped his forehead, and said in surprise: "Mr. Li is really smart, why didn't we think of this method!"

If the land is moist, it proves that it can be used to grow food.

Lin Yun jumped directly into the pit, grabbed a handful of dirt, first put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, then clenched it tightly in his fists.

The dirt was clumped together and looked pretty good.

All the villagers also looked happy, and some even cheered happily.

Seeing this, everyone finally saw the hope of cultivating land and growing food.

"Great! With land, we can finally grow food!"

In the past, the villagers plowed the land only to a depth of a dozen inches, and they never thought of digging out the sand.

The old village chief also nodded and smiled.

Only Lin Yun had no expression. He looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is too happy! Being able to dig such moist soil only proves that this land can be saved, but it is still impossible to use it to grow food." !”

Lin Yun poured a basin of cold water down, leaving everyone puzzled.

The old village chief asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, the land is obviously moist, black and sticky, so it is the best for farming!"

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly, put the soil in his hand in front of him, and said, "You always smell what it smells like!"

The old village chief took a closer sniff and frowned: "It smells of rotten eggs! This... this is the same smell as Niubei Mountain!"

Lin Yun nodded and smiled and said: "Understood! You are not considered outsiders now. You should know that one of the raw materials I need to make black gunpowder is the sand from Niubei Mountain! There is also a special term for this kind of soil, called Sulfur soil! This soil is so alkaline that it will be impossible for any crops to grow!"
