"What? The widows and orphans of the Zhending Army...... Want to come to us? Liu Baiqing's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, obviously he only paid attention to the first half of the sentence.

"Well, I have asked Uncle Wang to handle this matter, before our Cao family was sorry for these old people and orphans, and we didn't let them get an official position before they were discharged from the army. The key thing is that it is not the age of retirement, many of them are the year of meritorious service, just because they are the identity of the Zhending Army, they are forced to disband, disband, and return to the field, at this time to retire, the allowance is naturally not much, and it is not even as much as those logistics supply troops who have never been on the battlefield in their lives. Cao Yi suppressed his anger and said.

"So many of the old and orphans of the Zhending Army back then, life is not very satisfactory, according to me, Uncle Wang has been using his monthly money to fund these people in the past few years, but it is only a drop in the bucket, so I plan to take them all over, let us live on our newly bought land, unified care."

"That's a good thing! Son! Liu Baiqing said excitedly.

"I also know it's a good thing, but we can't sit back and eat, so we need to take precautions" Cang Yi frowned, thinking about how to solve the current difficulties.

"At present, the winery can be expanded, and it has reserved a place, but the problem of this winemaking material is bigger, either the grain production near Jiangning City has suddenly increased, or it is necessary to go to a far away city to collect, but this also increases the cost of round-trip transportation and road expenses in disguise, and now there are so many mountain bandits, and at present, our escort team has not yet made a dart bureau, and it may end up with both people and money." Cang Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be discussing with Liu Baiqing again.

"At present, we have nearly 300 people, although the youngest is only 12 years old, but after nearly a month of training, there is still some strength, and I can do some hard farm work. But most of the land we bought is barren land and cannot be cultivated at all, even if we let the camp students reclaim those wastelands every day, the final yield will not be very sufficient" Liu Baiqing looked at Cao Yi and said a little frustratedly, he is a good hand at leading troops to fight, but it is really too difficult for him to let him manage food and drink and think about making money.

"Yes, Bai Qing, what you said is so right!" Cang Yi said excitedly, his face full of joy.

Liu Baiqing looked at the overjoyed Cangyi, touched her head, and was a little confused in her heart, why did she just say that the output would be insufficient and the son was happy like this, could it be that he made another mistake! Liu Baiqing was startled when she thought of this, and looked at Cang Yi who was excitedly pacing back and forth in the house, it didn't seem like she was sick?

Cang Yi suddenly turned around, "Bai Qing, you take out the map and title deed around our camp!" ”

"Oh, good!" Liu Baiqing reacted, took out both things, and spread them on the table.

Cang Yi rushed up and carefully studied the title deed, and corresponded to the map from time to time, and kept saying something in his mouth. Liu Baiqing listened carefully for a while, but he didn't understand it very well, but he vaguely heard what Gongzi was talking about "zonal soil", "acidic reaction", "water into soil", and "meadow soil", and he didn't know if he was listening correctly.

"Bai Qing, what is our next training plan?" Cang Yi suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Uh...... Mainly strength training and riding training. Childe, this is ......" Liu Baiqing was also shocked by Cang Yi's whimsical thoughts for a while, and he was still carefully studying cultivation and maps one moment, so why did he immediately ask about training the next moment. Ran was a little puzzled, but he still said it truthfully.

"Great! It was a perfect match for our training program! Cang Yi clenched his fist and waved his hand heavily, and said happily.

“……”

Liu Baiqing blinked his eyes, and said after a while: "Childe, my subordinates can't keep up with your thoughts, and they haven't figured it out yet." ”

"Oh, we're going to do strength training and riding training, but we're going to have to adjust the training ground and the way we train. And it can also change the nature of the barren land on our side and turn it into fertile land. Cang Yi said quite sneeringly.

"Childe, how do we adjust the training method?" Liu Baiqing still didn't understand what the adjustment was specifically that Cang Yi said, and asked directly.

"Well, I'm going to let these people open up the wasteland, like Nanniwan!"

"Nanniwan? Where is that? How to open up wasteland? It is Liu Baiqing who has already turned into a blue cat and is naughty 3,000 and 100,000 why, I feel that I and my son are the same as people from two worlds, how can I say that some people make people listen to the clouds. I don't understand what other scholars say, but Childe is also a reader, and I still can't understand what I don't understand.

"You don't care about this, I'll follow the map to see it later, and when I come back, I'll mark it on the map, where is the barren clay soil, where is the sandy soil, and then tell you how to train." Cang Yi lowered his head, carefully studied the map, and spoke.

After a long while, Fang raised his head and looked at Liu Baiqing, and his voice seemed to have a demonic nature, and said: "We want to transform this barren land into Pingchuan rice fragrant, and fat ducks are all over the pond." There are crops everywhere, and there are good places for cattle and sheep everywhere! ”

The highlands on this side of Jiangning are mostly low mountains and residual hills, so the scale is small, the lithology is the fragments of the parent rock of the mountain, the sorting is poor, the size is mixed, and the constituent materials are usually silty clay, silty sand, and roving. For example, the narrow strip of land between Niushou Mountain and Guanyin Mountain, where Taibai Mountain Villa is located, is this kind of soil property.

However, there are many rivers in the same territory, including the Yangtze River section, the Qinhuai River and the Chuhe River section, and the sediment sediment amount exceeds the scouring amount, so the clay soil is also more. Later, with Taibai Mountain Villa and Guanyin Mountain as the center, I circled it three kilometers outward, and most of the land I bought was this kind of soil.

Barren and thin clay heavy soil is generally viscous, poor permeability, strong water and fertilizer retention ability, easy to accumulate water, high potential nutrient content, slow decomposition of organic matter, easy to accumulate, long fertilizer, small temperature difference between day and night, not easy to cultivate, short tillage period, poor tillage quality, poor sealing structure. The sandy soil is generally too loose, leaking water and fertilizer, lack of organic matter, large evaporation, low thermal insulation performance, short fertilizer, and easy to defertilize in the later stage.

Unfortunately, the three-mile radius of Taibai Villa is full of this kind of land that is not suitable for farming. At the beginning, Liu Baiqing and Cang Yi didn't think about farming, they only thought that the more barren the land, the cheaper the price, so they chose here, and now the funds are tight, so they can only reclaim it by themselves to subsidize the family.

For the improvement of barren and clay soil, it is necessary to reapply organic fertilizer, because the applied organic fertilizer is easy to form humus, changing soil structure and tillage. Generally, organic fertilizer can be applied several times per mu every year, and it can generally become a good cultivated field after two years. Another way is to press sand to reduce viscosity. It is to transport the sandy soil, press it, and then cooperate with organic fertilizer to turn the soil and then compact, several times in a row, which can also improve the clay soil.

And for the improvement of sandy soil, it is also possible to apply organic fertilizer, which is the most effective way to improve sandy soil, that is, to turn all kinds of manure and compost into the soil during spring or autumn ploughing, due to the buffering effect of organic matter, the second is to turn a large number of river mud, pond mud, and various clay heavy soil into the figure, which is also a good way to improve sandy soil.

Although the above words look complicated, in fact, if you want to improve these two kinds of soil, you can also say it clearly, that is, dig out a layer of soil from these two lands, and then cover and turn the soil of the two kinds of soil interchangeably, and then compact him, so that a few more times, with organic fertilizer, you can turn these two kinds of barren land into fertile land.
