Chapter 18 Township
There are three elements of farming, water, fertilizer, and temperature, and these three temperatures depend on the sky, and other places don't know about water, but there is basically no need to dig a canal in this area of Xiaqiu, and the annual rainfall is enough for the crops to survive.
The manure made by Chen Mo is different from the simple fertilizer in the past, and the yield can be increased by two or three percent when the year is good, or even forty percent at the most, which is better than the harvest of the fertile field.
Since Chen Mo started to help others make fertilizer, Chen Mo can clearly feel that in this small family of dozens of people, everyone's attitude towards their mother and son has improved a lot, and the name of dung lang has gradually become unpopular.
Chen Mo kept an eye on it, although he took everyone to make fertilizer, but he had a clear division of labor, and organized more than a dozen children to be busy every day, but they were busy with each other, and the amount of fertilizer and the preparation were all matched by Chen Mo himself, and Chen Mo also had some worries in his heart.
Manure is a resource that can never be realized for him, and now although he has begun to help himself gain a certain status in it, it has not met his expectations, so although he helps everyone make manure, he hides the core preparation method of manure very tightly and does not let people notice.
He felt that if he could squeeze into the career in the future, this manure might be a magic weapon in his hands, so he didn't want to tell everyone how to make manure now, and most importantly, his mother was also very supportive of this idea.
"Brother Ergou, are you practicing martial arts?" Addo came in with a basket of feces, a lot of it was wet, and it had to be dried in the sun, and it rained for days during this time, and it was finally sunny today, which was a rare opportunity.
"Hmm." Chen Mo nodded, he took a group of children to do things for half a month, and his mind was already more mature than ordinary children, so he looked a little like him at the moment, standing on the pile, and responded lightly.
"Brother Ergou." While spreading the dung on the ground to dry, Ado asked carefully, "Can you teach me?" ”
Chen Mo was stunned when he heard this: "I have to ask Uncle Wang, or you can go directly to Uncle Wang to teach you." ”
"No~" When it comes to Uncle Wang, Ado has a little fear in his eyes, unlike other hunters, although Uncle Wang is the most powerful here, he is also the most fierce one, ordinary children want to cry when they see him, and it seems that Chen Mo is the only one who can communicate with Uncle Wang normally.
"Uncle Wang went out hunting, I haven't seen him for a few days, and when he comes back from hunting, I'll ask him." Chen Mo thought for a while and said, Uncle Wang taught him stick skills last time, and he was going to teach him archery skills the next day, but it seemed that someone came to look for him and wanted to buy his tiger meat, so Uncle Wang and Uncle Cai went to Xiaqiu with the tiger corpse the next day, and they haven't come back yet.
"Good!" Ado said happily when he heard this, he actually wants to be a hunter, although the hunter does not plow the fields, but his family background is actually good, and he can eat meat every three or five days, so many children want to learn some skills and become a hunter in the future, even if Chen Mo's manure can indeed help everyone increase the harvest, but for these children, no one wants to be a second dung man.
Chen Mo can probably understand Ado's thoughts, in fact, not only Ado, but other friends are similar, including him, he has never thought of being a dung man for a lifetime, and he makes a stink on himself every day.
"In the afternoon, I will go to Lizheng Aweng's house to apply fertilizer." Chen Mo put away the pile, moved his body and prepared to continue practicing the stick technique, his stick technique had been practiced well, at least he would not throw the stick away as often as before.
"Brother Ergou, Ah Weng didn't let us help, why did you go to Ah Weng?" Xiao Ado was a little dissatisfied with Chen Mo's decision, everyone else had to give chickens or help with work or something, but Li Zheng didn't need anything there, they had to rush to help, which made him very unhappy and a little unbalanced.
"I don't know, my mother said." Chen Mo scratched his head, he didn't quite understand why he was like this, he thought for a while and said: "But Ah Weng is old, his children and grandchildren are not around, there are only a few women in the family, we should go to help, Ah Weng takes care of us on weekdays." ”
"Oh~"
In fact, compared to the surrounding townships, Chen Mo and their places are good, although Li Zheng has not made any great achievements, but he has not oppressed the villagers in every way like Li Zheng in other places, but has treated the villagers well, such Li Zheng is a very happy thing for the people living here.
In the afternoon, when Chen Mo took Ado and a group of children to pull the manure to Li Zheng's side, Li Zheng was sitting on the tree stump in the field, drinking water, taking advantage of the cold, watching his two daughters-in-law arrange for tenant farmers to weed, and when he saw Chen Mo and a group of people coming, he said with a smile: "What are you little ghosts doing here with me?" ”
"Aweng, we'll help you with the fertilizer." Chen Mo leaned over to Li Zheng's side and said.
"No need, I've got a lot of people here." Li Zheng doesn't care about this, his family has 30 acres of paddy fields alone, and hundreds of acres of thin fields, how can he care about this? Last time, the Taiping Sect came to collect grain, and he helped carry a lot of it, otherwise with the number of Taiping Sects opening at that time, I am afraid that the villagers would be able to fight directly with the Taiping Sect.
"This paddy field is not used, those thin fields or get some, on fertilizer, the harvest is not less than the paddy field, my mother said that this is also a part of everyone's mind." Chen Mo came to Li Zheng's side and waved his hand to a group of friends with a smile.
"You have a solution!" Li Zheng looked at the little children who started to work under Chen Mo's command with some surprise, and said with a smile: "I can clean up these leather children so obediently." ”
"I promised to help them ask Uncle Wang and let me teach them martial arts." Chen Mo smiled.
"You've only been studying for a few days before you can teach them?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Mo with a smile when he heard this, he heard Lao Wang say that Chen Mo is quite talented, and he may be the best hunter in their future in the future, but the sum of the front and back is not more than a month, what can he teach people?
"Whatever I practice, they practice." Chen Mo had been thinking about how to teach people since Ado asked him, and finally came to such a conclusion.
"Not bad, either." Li Zheng nodded, whether he can teach or not is secondary, the most important thing is that Chen Mo can establish prestige in this group of children, and after ten or twenty years, he may be able to recommend him to be a pavilion chief.
Although the township, pavilion, and li are usually said together, but the pavilion is different from the township, the pavilion chief does not care about the people's livelihood, is responsible for maintaining the security of the township, and places like the government office and the city gate also have a pavilion chief, if it is a larger city, a street will have a pavilion chief, if there is a pavilion chief from the hometown, it will be able to speak in several townships in Xiaqiu in the future, but unfortunately the old king looks a little fierce, and some resistance to the officials of the government office, otherwise he has the opportunity to be a pavilion chief.
Chen Mo naturally didn't know that Li Zheng was thinking about these things in his heart, and after sitting for a while, he looked at Li Zheng and hesitated: "Ah Weng, I heard that the Taiping Sect will come after the autumn harvest?" ”
"Alas~" Li Zheng nodded, sighed and said: "I know what you want to say, but don't make trouble, we can't afford to mess with those people." ”
"Oh."
