Pillars of the Wu family

Stimulated by last year’s bumper harvest, high-temperature composting methods have been practiced in various parts of Echigo since the beginning of autumn last year. The farmers in Omi are still in charge of how to compost. There are many secrets to this method that have not been taught. Dry areas close to water sources.

Next, dig out a large pit with a diameter of about one-and-a-half meters or more, and a depth of about one meter. The process takes about a few days. At the same time, several vertical and horizontal grooves must be dug at the bottom of the pit to extend to the surface. These grooves must be preserved for the air passage.

After doing these things, tie them up with corn stalks and put them into the trenches. Be sure to plug up all the trenches, and then spread a layer of crop straws, branches and leaves in the pit, and spread the mixed solution of about two stones. It is composed of 2 stones of livestock manure, 5 stones of river water, and half stone animal bones, fish bones, chicken and duck egg shells, bird droppings, etc., and a layer of plant ash is covered on the mixed solution.

The next operation is roughly the same, that is, a layer of straw or dead branches and rotten leaves, then a layer of mixed solution, and finally a layer of plant ash, so that the pile is piled higher and higher until it is about 1 meter above the ground. At this time, the shape of a hill is formed, and then covered with straw mats to facilitate high-temperature fermentation of compost.

At the same time, always pay attention to the temperature. The method is to pull the corn stalks away, stretch your hand to the airway to feel the temperature, and heat and cool water according to the temperature. On average, three to four buckets of water are divided into four times a month. The water needs to be heated, because it snows in the winter market in Echigo, and there is also constant rain in summer and autumn. Supplementing hot water is more conducive to maintaining high temperature fermentation in the pit. [

It can be used after about two months of decomposing. This method is not original by Yoshitoki Kira, and he knows what is going on. When it comes to specifics, his eyes are smeared. This is an agricultural expert from the Ming Dynasty in Shiga County. The modified professional plan, traditional composting has been practiced in the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, and he immediately got a positive response to a new idea. Compared with the simple composting he proposed that day, this half-pit composting is much more professional a grade.

The farmers in Echigo certainly don’t understand what this means, and they don’t need to understand that all the work is done by the three-house house of Kira’s family, including digging pits, ramming earth, digging trenches and stacking, etc. Farmers only need to prepare in advance All kinds of straw branches, mixed solutions, plant ash, and straw mats are enough.

These large and small stockyards appear in the fields of Echigo, and the farmers don’t understand the principle of this thing. When it’s spring sowing, the executive officer will go to the field to guide the first pass of base fertilizer and the second pass of seed fertilizer. And the approximate time of the third top dressing.

In the end, the Echigo samurai succumbed to the drive of profit, and offered oaths to Kira Yoshitoki and Nagao Torahime one after another. Kira Yoshitoki’s request was very simple. It was not enough for him to swear to the gods and Buddhas he believed in. Lead the two royal banners, and make another heavy oath to the Hachiman Bodhisattva.

The Hachiman Bodhisattva is the patron saint of the Wu family, and also the god of Genji. It has great significance to the Wu family. The meaning of swearing to the Hachiman Bodhisattva again is extraordinary. Many people are reluctant, but even if you don’t There is nothing you can do if you are willing, the first oath has been presented, and it is hard to ride a tiger at this time. If you don't make an oath, you have evil intentions and you can attack them. Who will admit that you have evil intentions?In the end, I can only suffer from being dumb.

How do you say that, there is justice in the world, and there is always reward for giving. I don’t know if there is justice in the world, but there must be reward for giving. If you don’t repay, I will force you to repay. This is a major characteristic of the Wu family. All the books were presented, and the Kira family also readily provided various new types of grain for everyone to use.

At the same time, he also emphasized that these seeds can only be used by himself, and must not flow out of Echigo abroad. He weighed in his heart what consequences would be caused by the circulation. Don't blame the king for not showing affection.

Echigo's samurai family is very proud now. Who dares to say whether those peasants will sell themselves? Everyone kowtows and swears to get the seeds in exchange. Wouldn't it be cheating to buy him away and end up being punished.

Ji Liangyi gave them some advice. First of all, everyone agreed that although new food is good, it is not as good as rice. Samurai eat rice. There are no samurai who gnaw potatoes and corn. The grain seeds have leaked out, so why not pick out some safe land to plant in your own direct collar?It is better to plant less than not to plant, and you can try the situation after planting for a year.

This method is widely accepted by warriors. Many people still have no idea about the new food. Although pumpkin porridge, corn rice, baked potatoes and potato beet soup are all delicious, many warriors still stubbornly stick to their traditions. , pickled radish with rice dumpling is the kingly way. This is a habit for 1000 years, and no one can change it in a short time.

The samurai took the seeds and left with great gratitude. When the spring is sown, these seeds will be scattered into the vast land of Echigo, and gradually take root and sprout to grow into strings of grains full of fruits. With a smile in his arms, he asked, "Why do you give these guys seeds? Is it true that His Highness is not afraid that they will be leaked to the warriors of other neighboring countries?"

Looking at the girl's glamorous face, Yoshiki Kira gently scratched her little nose, and said with a smile, "It's because it will leak out sooner or later, so I have to give it to them sooner!"

In terms of the aesthetics of this era, Hu Ji's almond eyes, nose, and pink cheeks are definitely not a beauty. The ancient definition of a handsome man is not much different, but the definition of a beautiful woman is really different. The aesthetics since the Heian era are really strange, especially when encountering a woman like Hu Ji who has a plain face and does not wear makeup, she is regarded as a different kind.

There are many different women like Echigo, but the girls who looked pretty in Yoshira Yoshika were looked down upon by the young samurai in Echigo. The reason why many people love Nagao Tora is because of their appetite for these violent men. , Heroine Samurai also has a bullish teacher, and the super powerful brother is simply a big backer. Even this group of muscular Echigo Samurai knows whoever gets this soft girl.

"Eh? Why is that?" Two voices asked in unison, one was Torahime snuggling in Kira Yoshitoki's arms, the other was Mochizuki Chiyo who was hiding on the other side eating fruit, two large loli Looking at each other at the same time, there was an ominous atmosphere in the air.

A certain big cat bared its cute canine teeth and threatened: "Idiot! Why do you say the same thing as me!"

"No! It's obviously Chiyo who said it first!" A certain idiot loli retorted vaguely as she swallowed the delicious food in her mouth, shaking her ponytails hanging down her shoulders.

"Obviously you are learning from me!"

"No! Chiyo is a little bit faster than Sister Tiger Hime! Really!" [

"Nonsense! Who is slower than you! You must have heard it wrong!"

"Chiyona swears with 11 years of ninja experience, Chiyona is indeed a little faster!"

"Lu Sai! Lu Sai!" The two little loli stared at each other, angry like two clucking little hens.

I don’t know how many times the two lolis quarreled for a while and made up again. Yoshihiro Kira expressed his utter sorrow for this, but subconsciously replied: "If I remember correctly, Chiyo girl should only be 11 years old, right?"

"Eh? Has His Highness discovered this too? Your Highness cares about Chiyo-no! Chiyo-no is so touched!" The idiot Lolita's cheeks were as red as a kettle of boiling water, she covered her cheeks and shyly closed her eyes, shaking her little head back and forth Go, flick the ponytails.

"Damn it! Your Highness is not allowed to look at it!" A certain tiger-toothed loli got angry, and jumped towards it like a big cat with fried hair. : "Stupid! Don't make such strange movements! It will be very disturbing for others to see!"

In the end, the two loli didn't figure out why they leaked the secret of the seed, and they didn't care too much about this kind of thing. The military and state affairs are completely related to this kind of loli. The most Huya girl has to do is to be correct. Sitting motionless on the main seat of the evaluation meeting, and then everyone finished talking and was dragged away by Kira Yoshitoki, as for what was said in the middle, I don't remember at all.

A girl who falls in love is always blind. She believes that Kirayoshi will not lie to her, believes that he can do everything well, and believes that the brother he said will recover. Although she has studied economics and government affairs, she has forgotten everything , This is the idea of ​​​​Nagao Hu Ji.

Kira Yoshishi did not live up to his expectations. After the few months in power, the development has been very smooth, and various government orders have been carried out in an orderly manner. Honjo Shino, Naoe Tsuna and others have to lament that the gap in ability is too great , The idiom that there is specialization in the art industry is also widely circulated in the circle of senior samurai in Echigo.

The evaluation meeting on March [-]th, after a busy winter, including those who only had a seven-day rest for the Spring Festival, had to revive their spirits to face the new official duties. It was the first time for Kiyoshi Kurokawa to participate in the evaluation meeting as a vassal of Kira. Looking at the familiar Echigo people opposite, the three of them were still a little uncomfortable.

However, no one in the hall paid attention to the small movements of the three people. The Echigo samurai, including Honjo Mino, Nagao Keishin, Nakajo Fujisuke, Naoe Tsuna, Nagao Masaki, Saito Chaoxin, etc., were all listening attentively. Listen to the information that keeps coming from the hall.

Nagao Jinghu continued to be absent from this month's evaluation meeting. This is the second month he has been absent from the evaluation meeting. After nearly half a year of recovery, Nagao Jinghu can already walk slowly on a single crutch. Knowing the existence of the Tang Yusuo, I went to the Tang Yusuo for an on-the-spot investigation, and finally decided to take Nagao Jinghu and Nagao Jingliansuo to lead two thousand troops directly under the Nagao family to the Tang Yusuo for recuperation in early February.

In the words of Nagata Tokumoto, this recuperation may last for a long time. If conditions permit, one year is the best, and even if it is not, it is best to last half a year, because the several hot springs in Yuyusho are very effective in treating wind diseases. For the curative effect, the premise is that you must bathe under the guidance of Nagata Tokumoto, otherwise soaking in hot springs may aggravate the wind disease.

Hosokawa Fujitaka held a statistical report and read aloud: "As of February 25, the end of spring sowing in the seven counties of Echigo, according to statistics, [-] chobu of wasteland have been reclaimed in the seven counties this year, mainly concentrated in Joetsu. In the Central Vietnam region, it is estimated that there are about [-] towns of wasteland in the seven counties that are conducive to direct and indirect development, of which..."

"Wait? What do you mean by direct and indirect?" (To be continued.)
