Chapter Ninety-Seven: Breeding

It was already the end of September, and the temperature had plummeted, and the temperature here was much colder than in the same season in later generations, and Wei Zhao had already put on a thick cotton robe.

The crops in the fields have been harvested, and even the wheat straw has been brought home to be used as fuel for cooking and heating.

On the road from the house to the village, the land is all good land, the soil is good, and a small river passes by, so it is the best harvest in the village.

Wei Zhao squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil to check, and found that the soil was very delicate, there was no gravel or anything like that, and then looked at it, the whole land was cleaned up very cleanly, and there were not many dead branches and leaves.

He raised the soil in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, just when he saw the village chief Xu Wu walking by on the path, he hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Xu, where are you going?" ”

Xu Wu was walking with his head buried in his head, and when he heard Wei Zhao calling him, he found that he was in the field next to the road, so he hurriedly came over and said: "The big guys drank too much yesterday, and I don't know how to go home, so I'm going to go to your house to have a look, but don't let anyone play drunk and spill anything!" ”

After speaking, he found that Du Zixu was also there, and seeing that he had a noble temperament and was not angry and arrogant, he was a little embarrassed for a while.

Wei Zhao noticed his expression, thought of the majesty he felt when he first met Du Zixu, understood his feelings, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, I was about to go to you just now, I don't want to meet here!" ”

"What's the matter? But what trouble did you run into? ”

Xu Wu as the head of a village, if you want to say who he envies the most now, it must be Liu Chunsheng, originally Liu Chunsheng was the top person in the village, but because he was clever, he would come to trouble, he brought Wei Zhao home early, and he kept running for him, which won Wei Zhao's attention, and now the family of three has followed to Fucheng, which is something that everyone in the village envies!

If he can seize the opportunity to interact with Wei Zhao more now, wouldn't he also have a chance to be reused?

Although it is not authentic, he still thinks in his heart that Wei Zhao has encountered some problems, so that he can perform well.

Wei Zhao said: "It's not that I'm having a problem, but I want to ask Uncle Xu about something." ”

Xu Wu hurriedly said: "What do you ask for advice or not, if you have something, you just say it, I want to know if I can still tell you?" ”

Wei Zhao smiled, expressed his embarrassment, and then said, "Who owns this land?" ”

Xu Wu replied without thinking about it: "This is Mingzi's land", he paused and asked: "There is a problem with this land?" ”

Wei Zhao thought about it, and then remembered that Mingzi was the father of that little bean, and he knew it in his heart, and asked, "What is planted in this land, and how is it planted?" ”

Xu Wu was puzzled: "The soybeans in this field are soybeans, as in previous years, spring planting and autumn harvest, no different?" ”

Wei Zhao was stunned, knowing that he didn't understand what he meant, so he had to carefully inquire about the details of farming.

"You're saying that everyone planting the land is to sow the seeds in it, turn it over, hoe the grass, and wait for the autumn harvest?"

"That's right, isn't that how you farm?" Xu Wu was confused by his puzzled look, this kind of land has been planted for decades, and he has been planting it like this since his father, Wei Zhao really doesn't understand?

Alas! Sure enough, it is a child of a rich family, just look at the bearing of his uncle, Wei Zhao's family background must not be simple, he does not know grains, and it is normal for him to not know farming.

Wei Zhao sighed, they would only sprinkle seeds into it every year and ask for the land, but they never thought that the land would be barren, and after a long time, the harvest would naturally not be good, plus they completely depended on the weather to eat, once there was a little abnormal weather, the harvest would be even more affected.

In this era, there is no chemical fertilizer, to fertilize the land, you can only use organic fertilizer, the so-called organic fertilizer, is the manure of pigs, sheep and cattle, after fermentation, you can fertilize the land and supplement the fertility of the land.

Wei Zhao knew that there were families with chickens and dogs in the village, and there were several families with good backgrounds who raised cattle, but he had never seen anyone raising other livestock.

In this era, the grain production was low, and there were not enough people to eat, so no one raised animals such as pigs.

No one raises livestock, so naturally there is no manure, relying only on some grass and wood ashes and the like, most people are poured into their own vegetable fields, where there is excess poured into large fields.

After thinking about it, he said: "Uncle Xu, you can't farm like this, if you only plant the land without fertilization, it won't be long before the land will be barren, and even if the wind and rain are smooth, the harvest will not be improved." ”

"Fertilization?" Xu Wu frowned, he has never heard of fertilization in his whole life, can Wei Zhao, who does not distinguish between grains, understand?

Wei Zhao told Xu Wu about fertilization, and after Xu Wu listened, he did not show surprise, but smiled and said: "Even if this fertilization can really improve fertility, where can we find so much manure, alas!" ”

Wei Zhao said: "You can raise pigs, raise sheep, raise a few in a family, and there will be a lot of manure in a year, and the next time you cultivate and apply it to the field, the harvest can be improved a lot." If you sell the pork and mutton, you can also have other income. ”

"It's so easy to raise pigs and sheep, you have to buy breeding pigs and sheep first, and you have to prepare food for them, now people can't eat enough, where is there surplus grain!"

Wei Zhao naturally knows that it is not easy, but there are many benefits of raising pigs and sheep, and the development of animal husbandry is a way to get rich quickly, he wants to let the people of Anping Village live a good life, first of all, he has to teach them to get rich, if he guards a few acres of land like this, and plows food in the soil, once he encounters a natural disaster, he will be helpless.

"Uncle Xu, you don't have to worry about this, I want you to help me with something."

As soon as Xu Wu heard that he had something to explain, his spirit was shocked, and he had already begun to think about how to do good things in his heart, and let him value it in the future.

"Trouble Uncle Xu notified every household in the village, and said that I want to raise a batch of poultry and livestock in the village, but no one in my family can do this, so I asked the people in the village to help raise it, ten sheep in each family, two pigs, sheep and pigs are all from me, and the money for building the shed is also from me. As for the feed needed for breeding, it is what to eat, and I will tell you slowly, it is not that it is not food. ”

When Xu Wu heard this, the whole person was stunned, this... This matter makes it clear that Wei Zhao is changing his way to help the people in the village, right?

"Oh, what nonsense do you say this kid is talking about, you are from our village, something happened to you, we should go and help, what do you say you are doing now, where can the big guy let you spend so much!"

He thought in his heart that Wei Zhao was going to do this in order to repay everyone for going out to find him this time, so he hurriedly said something to stop him.

Wei Zhao smiled, knowing that Xu Wu had misunderstood, and said: "Uncle Xu, you misunderstood, although I am asked to pay for this matter, but I am also for myself, I am now preparing to open a restaurant in Fucheng, and in the future, chickens, ducks, pigs and mutton will not be missing, if no one raises these livestock for me, once someone goes against me and monopolizes the meat in the market, then my restaurant will not be able to open?" I'm going to ask everyone to raise these for me now, and I'm not afraid of someone monopolizing meat in the future.

Another is to find something for the people in the village to do, the elderly and children can herd sheep, beat pigweed, and in the spring, you can also put some manure into the field. ”

When Xu Wu heard him say this, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, so he happily agreed, and said that he would go and do it in the evening, and everyone would ask.

Wei Zhao did tell the truth, but the main thing was to give the people in the village more economic resources.

His restaurant is located in Fucheng, and if he really wants to find someone to raise these livestock, he can find someone to raise it near Fucheng, and there is no need to raise it in Anping Village, which is far away from Fucheng.

It's autumn now, the matter of farming is not in a hurry, he wants to take advantage of the fact that others are still in Anping Village, to help the villagers arrange the breeding matters, as for the scientific planting method, just wait for the spring of next year, when everyone breeds must see the profits, he proposed to let everyone listen to him, learn the scientific planting method, the effect will be better!

The people in the village live on those fields, and the traditional planting methods have been used for many years.

But if the farming he proposes now makes the villagers profitable, he will have some right to speak, and there will be people who trust him, and when the time comes, he will propose a planting method, which will be more acceptable.

Xu Wu saw that Wei Zhao had nothing else to order, and went back to the village happily, he couldn't wait to tell the big guy about this great thing.
