As a particularly widely used fertilizer in rural areas, plant ash is not only cheap and easy to use, but also very easy to obtain, as long as it is not lazy in the countryside, almost every family will have it.

Grass ash is the ash formed after the burning of firewood and grass, which is a fast-acting potassium fertilizer with a loose texture, generally containing 5% to 15% available potassium, and also contains calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, and iron. Grass ash is mainly applied as potassium fertilizer in agricultural production, and it also has many functions such as cold protection, sterilization and disinfection, inhibition of the occurrence of pests and diseases, promotion of crop stalk robustness and enhancement of crop stress resistance.

Of course, this is one of the few fertilization methods that Edward knows, which Edward knew when he was a child working with his grandparents, and when he was old enough to go to school, he never worked on the farm again.

As soon as Edward thought of drafting the ashes, he thought of his family on the other side, and his mood couldn't help but start to be low, and Howard saw His Majesty like this, and consciously left the study, leaving Edward alone in the study with his head bowed and pondering.

Howard left the study and went straight to Lucy and Luna's house, looking at the dilapidated mud and straw room, and then at the dirt road that had been crumpled by the rain, so that he didn't have to knock on the door.

"Old Jack! Come out! Howard shouted as hard as he could, but it wasn't loud enough for no one to hear. After all, I am used to being pampered, and my body is weak, and the sound I make is relatively small.

"Old Jack! Old Jack! Old Jack! Howard held back the gentleman's cultivation and shouted like a commoner, which made the heart of the fragile butler almost collapse.

At this time, little Jack, who was eating, heard some faint cries with sensitive ears, as if calling his father, and the voice seemed to be Howard's butler.

"Daddy! Someone is calling you outside the door! As if he knew that it was very likely that he would be scolded for disturbing his father's meal, he added, "It seems that the housekeeper is calling you!" ”

Old Jack, who was eating, was angry at his son's disturbance of his meal, but when he heard that it was his beloved butler calling him, he hurriedly threw away his rice bowl and hurried out.

His wife, who was also eating, knew the importance of the matter, so she put away the rest of the bread he ate and prepared to leave it for him to come back to eat!

Butler Howard felt his throat almost hoarse, and there was still no movement in the dilapidated house, as if it didn't exist when he shouted.

At this time, the butler already regretted it in his heart, he just wanted to show respect for Old Jack, to be precise, for Sister Luna, and it was rare to come to see him in person, but he didn't expect to face such an embarrassing scene, which made him in a dilemma.

At this moment, Old Jack opened the poor wooden door and relieved the embarrassment of Howard's butler, which is also a sacrifice to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor!

Seeing that Old Jack finally came out, Howard's butler breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his forehead carefully, and regained his composure

Look, that gentleman Howard is back.

"Your Excellency! How can I bother you to come in person? Old Jack had been an overseer for a few months, and was no longer the stupid serf who only knew how to work, "I should have gone to you, do you have any orders?" ”

Howard nodded noncommittally, did not answer Old Jack's question, and commanded directly.

"Old Jack, gather all the people, whether they are men or women, as long as they can walk, gather them for me!"

"I don't need you to do any heavy work, just let you collect weeds for our King Edward, the more the better!" Howard knew what Old Jack was going to ask, so he was the first to say it, he didn't want to stay in this filth for too long.

"That's it! That's it, you hurry up and get busy! Howard couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly evacuated, not forgetting to turn back to old Jack to remind him.

Old Jack couldn't understand the delicate problems of those adults, wasn't it just some mud and excrement?

What the? Excreta? Damn it! Old Jack couldn't help cursing when he saw the yellow-brown thing on the soles of his straw shoes, and his mood couldn't help but become irritable.

"Oh! Oh, God! Damn Jack, didn't you tell you to stay away from home and pull it again? I think you're underwhelmed again! Old Jack yelled at Jack, who was eating in the house, and then rubbed on the weeds, trying to wipe them clean.

Jack, who was eating, buried his head in the water-soaked black bread and didn't say a word. The mother next to her just smiled and stroked little Jack's head, but did not speak, and little Lemmy saw his brother being scolded on the side, so she couldn't help but go over and grab his hand and comfort him.

"Hey! Sean, call your family to run, hurry up and gather at the barnyard! "Hal! Bring what you can run and meet at the barnyard! ”……

Old Jack shouted from house to house with the artificial system, because it was not far away, and in less than ten minutes, twenty-three serf families had gathered in the barn.

Old Jack stood in the middle of the threshing floor, surrounded by his neighbors, who looked at him with respect, including his two little ones and his wife.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our lords, His Majesty Edward has commanded us to collect weeds for him, the more the better! It's our pleasure! We should use all our strength to get the job done! Old Jack's words were full of determination, "If anyone is lazy, don't blame me for whipping him!" ”

As he spoke, he shook the leather whip he was holding, which Howard's butler often used to punish disobedient serfs.

Of course, this group of serfs has lived in the manor for generations, and the disobedient have long been humanely destroyed, and those who remain are obedient! The whip hadn't been used for almost a decade, but it was quite a deterrent.

When everyone around them saw this leather whip, they couldn't help but think of the horror of the leather whip they heard from their parents, and nodded in unison, showing a frightened expression.

Little Jack knew that his father would not whip him, but deep down he was still afraid.

"Hey! Jack! Do you remember our secret base? "Of course I remember, we often go to play!"

Jack was puzzled by his little friend Mir's question, and wondered why he asked knowingly.

"Hey! Don't you notice that there are a lot of long weeds there? What's it called? ”

"I guess it's called a reed!" Jack was reminded by Mir that there were a lot of reeds near his and Mir's small base.

"That way, the two of us can go there to play for a while, and then we can move a lot of reeds, and your dad won't find out!" Mir whispered in Jack's ear with an indescribably happy expression on his face.

"So be it! I'll take Lemmy, and you bring your sister Vina! "Yes, but keep them secret!" "Of course!" Jack promised to be very happy, and when he thought that he could play with less work, Jack suddenly forgot all about the power of the leather whip.
