Chapter 171: Fertilizer
On the second day, the elders of several villages in Xiaodu Village also hurried over.
The matter of this water cabbage is not a big deal in the eyes of the elders of the Lizheng and clan, and it happened that the weather was cool on this day, and they did not go to the ancestral hall, and the whole village ran to the sunburn.
"We also planted a lot of cabbage in Dujia Village, and the master wrote that this thing would become a disaster if it grew too much, saying that it would make the lotus root and fish unable to survive, and it would block the river. I mean, let's listen to the master's words and pull out all the cabbage, as long as we have enough to eat, and there will be no more growth. A big basket is only sold for a penny, it is better to go to the mountains to collect firewood! ”
Li Zheng Du Changqing, in the words of his father Li Zheng, is a person without courage, not decisive enough to do things, and not vicious enough. Fortunately, he is an upright person, and he can cage the Du family for decades. When the previous Li Zheng and the Seventh Master died, they specially told Master Xile that they must obey their words. This is also the reason why he thinks that what many villagers say is reasonable, and still insists on doing what the master says.
Several other villages were a little abrupt when they heard this, and waited for Li Zheng to take out Du Xiaoxi's letter and explain the original reason of the matter, so that everyone could understand what it was for.
Many people agree with what Li Zheng said, when the cabbage first came over, it was really good, it was enough to eat at home, and it was possible to save the land in the vegetable garden to grow other things, and the surplus could be sold to the people who had no land in the county, and a basket could earn a few pennies.
After knocking the cabbage grew too fast, the river was quickly paved with a layer, and now the little babies pick a big basket and sell it to the county seat to exchange it for a penny, and they can't earn it at all before selling vegetables.
But they agree yes. It doesn't mean that they are willing to go to the river to pull cabbage, in their opinion, the cabbage is similar to other things that grow in water, and they don't need to waste their efforts to pull it out the next year after they die in winter.
"Brother, according to me, this cabbage is now yellow, and it will die in a short time, so why should we bother with it. The things in this field have just been harvested, and the food for the cat winter has not been enough, so how can there be time to pull out the useless things. Why don't you wait until you're free in a few days? Li Zheng of Qiandu Village took a deep breath of dry smoke and asked with an embarrassed face.
"Yes! Dude. Let's hold on to the winter stuff first. If you really don't have it, it's hard for the whole family! ”
The leaders of the other villages echoed together, and the clan elders were also rare and silent without expressing any opinions.
Du Xiaoxi stood on the periphery of the crowd and looked a few times in the direction of Daddy Du, who was also a member of the silence. Seeing this scene, Du Xiaoxi didn't have the courage to run over and let everyone follow her to pull the cabbage!
Du Xiaoxi, the danger of water hyacinth, also learned from her roommate that she had never experienced what it was really like. I'm like that. Not to mention the villagers who had never seen anything like this before. They don't believe it in their hearts.
The matter of cleaning up the cabbage in Dujia Village finally ended in nothing.
The people of Dujia Village don't do it. Someone did it!
From Dujia Village, Master Xile asked the people to pull out the excess cabbage, although many people thought it was nonsense, but many of the master's hardcore brains were obediently pulled out a lot. As a senior fan, Liu Erye also ordered the Zhuangzi under his name to pull out all the excess water and cabbage in the Zhuangzi.
Northland. The Master of Joy is also making a mobilization.
It has been more than a year since the water cabbage was introduced to Dashang, and many water hyacinth froze to death last winter, and there was no large-scale water hyacinth flood the following year.
After listening to the apprentice talk about the water hyacinth, Master Xile went to investigate and found that the real water cabbage was planted in other varieties and there were fewer fish than in other places. If this kind of thing happens in a warm place, it will definitely be stricter.
After asking the big apprentice who was far away at the border, Master Xile sent a letter to Du Xiaoxi and ran to the palace to find the emperor and tell him about it.
The emperor naturally didn't know how to farm and grow vegetables, but he was very concerned about what Master Xile said would affect the operation of the canal, and immediately called the officials of Dasi Nong and the water supervisor to come over.
These officials were pampered and had never even seen a cabbage, but thinking that Master Xile had never missed what he had said before, many people hesitated to go back and take a closer look.
After a few days like this, they met in front of the emperor again, and after much hesitation, these people still concluded that there would not be much danger.
The emperor did not support it, the officials did not buy it, and the hope of following the path of the yamen was gone.
Master Xile could not only use his influence to mobilize the people, and after that, no one said that he took a large group of disciples and went straight to Nanling by boat.
Since the hidden danger is in the south, let's start from the south!
Du Xiaoxi didn't know that the master had gone to the south, and after Amli's future father-in-law Liu Erye went to pull the cabbage, he fooled Father Du to follow suit.
Father Du and Brother Du felt that the sister would stay at home for a year and get married next year, and they would be willful, except for a few who went to open the shop, they carried the boat one by one and followed Du Xiaoxi to clean up the cabbage growing in the small river outside the village.
The Du family went to pull the dying cabbage, and many people laughed at them for being stupid.
The neighboring Xiucai mother and Xiucai daughter-in-law are like hens that have just laid eggs, standing at the door every day, humming and going out to work, and the Du family points and laughs at all kinds of ridicule.
In view of the blessings and benefits that Master Joy thought was good, there were still many people in the village who had elderly people in the village who asked their sons to help clean up a lot.
Du Xiaoxi looked at the pile of water cabbage that was piled up not far from the river and still stubbornly took root and sprouted, and stomped her feet anxiously, Hu Jiajia's girl didn't say that this thing can grow in the soil!
This kind of wet stuff is too hard to burn, and it is impossible to waste so much firewood to burn these things that are not there. It will grow by itself if you put it there, no different from not cleaning it up.
When Du Xiaoxi was anxious about how to deal with these things, when he saw the fifth brother shoveling the poop behind the thatched house and throwing it on the dung heap, Du Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, he could soak dung!
"Dad, let's dig a big pit and throw this water cabbage directly into the dung!"
When Du Xiaoxi said this, the whole family was happy.
In addition to excrement, the manure of the farm is rotten leaves, and it is not enough to search and scrape it every year. If the water cabbage is piled into the pit, it will be equinoxed at the beginning of spring next year, and the big fat accumulated at home will be mixed together. Next year's manure is not to worry at all!
"My girl is so smart!" Daddy Du immediately praised his daughter as a flower.
"Girl, this method is so good, tomorrow we will dig a pit and throw in those that were pulled out a few days ago, and we will also talk to your uncle's family, and dig a manure pit for his family."
Daddy Du excitedly went straight in circles, hum, let you laugh at my daughter's stupidity, let you laugh at our family, you don't have to follow us in a few days!
Daddy Du stood at the door early the next morning and shouted a song, and in the puzzled eyes of others, he triumphantly ran to the river with his sons and began to dig a pit.
"Brother Cheng, what are you doing here?"
The old women of the village no longer bask in the sun. One of the women who had a good relationship with the Du family asked directly.
Daddy Du was in the curious voice of a group of people. He laughed triumphantly twice, pointed to the rooted cabbage fished out not far away, and said: "It's not that those things are hard to clean up, my daughter said to dig a pit and bury it, and wait for the spring next year to harvest a lot of fat!" ”
Daddy Du's smug expression was very bad. But everyone's focus is on the back burner. Drench with cabbage! It's just great! And they're going to do the same!
Motivation is action. Every family went home to discuss and follow this dung.
Li Zheng, who was drinking a little wine at home, heard about the dung of the Du family cabbage, and his heart suddenly became enlightened, and the master originally asked them to pull the cabbage in order to let them dung it. He's so stupid! I didn't expect it. Fortunately! Fortunately! It's still too late!
The whole village of Dujia Village went out to pull water and dung cabbage, and the surrounding villages also knew about it. For a time, the whole village began to mobilize, and every household was busy pulling water and collecting manure from cabbage.
In a small county town in Nanling, when Master Xile was fooling the small county order to obey the words and let the people pull the cabbage, he suddenly found that the people had already done it actively.
Waiting to hear that it was the apprentice who fooled them into making them willingly dung, Master Joy instantly became depressed!
There is no harm without contrast, and the master's mind is severely hit.
All villages and households were busy digging water cabbage and dung, and Du Xiaoxi was also relieved to see that there was less and less water cabbage on the river.
If it's like this every year, if you want to come to the water cabbage, you can't make a disaster!
After dealing with the matter of water cabbage, the strings that had been tight in Du Xiaoxi's heart were also loosened. I've been to see my hard-working fiancé a few times, and the new year is here!
After the New Year, Du Xiaoxi is eighteen.
Suddenly I had the consciousness of getting married.
Spring has arrived, and before Du Xiaoxi went to find Liu Yao with pink bubbles, the water cabbage that had been silent for a winter actually attacked.
In just two months, the cabbage that was not cleaned up quickly grew rapidly and quickly occupied a lot of river sections. Especially in military towns, where there is no need to accumulate fertilizer, dense water hyacinth is entangled in the water, making it impossible for ships to pass at all.
Water cabbage is a disaster!
The north-south Universiade is out of nowhere!
The change came too suddenly, like a cat for a winter, and the big rivers and small rivers became the world of water cabbage.
Du Xiaoxi sighed and begged Liu Yao for a safe journey.
The canal can't go, and the Fucheng that was supposed to arrive in a few days is far away, so Liu Erye threw his son into the car, and hurriedly ran towards the Qingzhou Mansion in a carriage.
Although it was speculated that the palace test might be postponed because of the cabbage matter, Second Master Liu didn't dare to bet and immediately took his son away.
Du Xiaoxi was worried about how Liu Yao ate and slept. The danger caused by the overflow of cabbage is slowly expanding.
The freight between the north and the south is blocked, the economic lifeline of the big merchants is actually broken, and Emperor Jiayuan is going crazy!
The emperor was very angry, and the first to bear the brunt were the people of the Great Si Nong and the water supervisor.
Last year, the joy master Baba ran to the palace to ask him to pay attention to the cabbage, and when he dealt with the cabbage, it was the people of these two factions who swore to ensure that the cabbage was very good and there would be no problems. As a result, the master came out before half a year was up, how could Emperor Jiayuan not be angry. If they had not sworn their promises, and he had listened to the words of the Master of Joy, where would such a thing have happened!
After attacking the people of Dasi Nong and the Water Supervisor, Emperor Jiayuan's spearhead was aimed at the monks of the peasant faction.
At the beginning, the Ten Thousand Buddhas and the Hui were the water cabbage actively introduced by the people of the peasant sect, was it that they colluded with monks from other countries to weaken the big business!
After cleaning up a lot of people, Emperor Jiayuan was still very angry, but he could only issue an order to go to various places and let the officials go all out to pull out the water cabbage.
Shanshui County.
Due to the accumulation of manure and fertilizer, there is not much cabbage left around the villages in Shanshui County, but the public waters near the canal are almost full of cabbage.
This year's labor tasks in Shanshui County have become the eradication of water cabbage.
When the people thought that the cabbage would only grow faster and affect their peers, the fish raised by many people in the pond turned their bellies, and the lotus root was also invaded by the dense cabbage, and the living space could not be lived.
The situation in Dujia Village is better, and many people find that there are more fish in the small river in the village, and in the end, they can even see a lot of heavy rain coming out of the water with their mouths open when they stand by the river.
Du Xiaoxi guessed that there might be too much cabbage in other places, and there was a lack of oxygen underwater, so the fish had no choice but to go to a relatively comfortable place nearby in order to survive.
In many villages, big fish have died in patches, but in Dujia Village and many villages that are actively accumulating fat, old fish have suddenly emerged from the river. Many people are crazy! Every day, I hold on to my fishing nets and wait for the river to catch big fish.
A lot of fish suddenly appeared in Dujia Village, and every household caught fish to eat every day, and Du Xiaoxi also ate a whole fish feast for several days.
When each household pulled out the cabbage, the crisis in Shanshui County, like most canal cities, gradually came.
Whether it is a shopkeeper who opens a shop or a man who carries a big bag, almost half of the people in Shanshui County rely on the canal to make a living.
Now that there is suddenly no boat, they can't earn a penny. The wealthy people are okay, it was not a problem in the last few months, but the poor people's families lived on that income, and many families quickly broke off.
The lack of food and drink naturally prompted many people to take risks, and several murders have occurred in the county these days.
The county order can't, and in the end it can only recruit more people to pull cabbage!
The people of Shanshui County also wanted to let the canal be repaired as soon as possible, so that they could restore their original days, so many people ran to the dock to help pull cabbage.
Half a month has passed, except for a small amount of cabbage left in a few ponds, all that can be seen on the side of the canal has been cut down by the people.
It is a pity that there are still many places where the cabbage has not been eliminated, and the boats have not come, and the people can only beg for the canal to be dredged as soon as possible.
The action of pulling weeds and eradicating the roots of water cabbage is limited to the area near the Yuan Canal, and there are still many small rivers in the village where a lot of water cabbage is grown. After tasting the benefits of accumulating fertilizer in spring, the village still decided to plant some cabbage and eat it by itself, and then pull it out to accumulate manure and fertilizer when it was almost over.
