Chapter 57: Strange Vernacular
Liu Yuxi left with the information sorted out by Wei Renshi.
Lin Cen and Lin Sumian also took a chair from Wei Renshi's house. Because there was only one turntable and only one set of kitchen utensils, it survived.
Several carriages staggered onto the official road and headed west.
"Wei Langjun is such a wonderful person." Lin Sumian sat in the carriage and said to Liu Yuxi: "No, it's a strange person." This trip followed Master Liu, it was really the right one. ”
"I haven't thanked Shopkeeper Lin for being willing to buy wasteland to help me verify Wei Langjun's method." Liu Yuxi said.
"I fell in love with Master Liu at first sight, and I followed Master Liu to meet such a strange person as Wei Langjun, and I have to thank Master Liu for it." Lin Sumian said with a smile: "Besides, I was also a scholar before, and I also had the idea of Kuang Jun assisting the country and benefiting the people in my heart. If Wei Langjun's method is really effective, it will add countless fertile fields to the Tang Dynasty and benefit thousands of people. This dam silt, as well as the improvement of the wasteland, if Master Liu has what he needs, but he will be sent! ”
"Shopkeeper Lin is really noble! Liu's ability to get close to the shopkeeper Lin is also a creation! Hahahaha! Liu Yuxi was very happy and said with a smile.
After that, he couldn't hold it back, took out the two thick piles of paper that Wei Renshi gave him, and looked at it directly in the carriage.
"Uh...... "Detailed Description and Construction Guidance for Damming and Silting Projects"...... Hiss - this name is taken apart, so vernacular, a certain can also understand, but it is just in one place, how can it be read so awkwardly! Liu Yuxi turned the page, raised his head and said after reading it. After speaking, he picked up another thicker stack, turned the page to look at it, and said: "It's such a strange way of writing again - "Research on the Causes of the Formation of Different Types of Saline-alkali Land and Specific Countermeasures"...... Look, it's all in the vernacular! ”
Lin Sumian stretched out his head and read a few words, then sat back with a smile and said, "It's good in the vernacular, it's easy to understand." When the time comes, according to the above statement, it will be said to the craftsman, and the craftsman will be able to understand. ”
"That's just as well." Liu Yuxi shook his head helplessly and said, "But it looks so weird!" ”
Wei Renshi naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the two, and he was standing next to the earthworm ruler he was digging in his field with his nose covered at the moment.
In order to raise earthworms, it is necessary to mix a lot of manure raised by chickens, ducks and cows into the soil from time to time, as well as other miscellaneous materials for earthworms to eat.
So the smell is really bad!
But the great working people are not afraid!
"Wei Langjun, what are you doing with so many earth dragons, do you have to do business with the medicine shop?" The villager hired by Wei Renshi to work asked as he picked out the earthworm from it and threw it into the bamboo basket.
Their faces did not change in the slightest, and they seemed to be oblivious to the smell of the field.
"You don't understand, it's a really good thing." Wei Renshi's face was a little pale, and he couldn't stand the smell, but he still spoke: "Really, you throw some into your own fields, and keep your crops better than others." ”
Those few people laughed, not caring about Wei Renshi's words at all. They are all veterans of crops, who have worked with the fields for half their lives, and think that no one knows their own land as well as themselves, and that no one in their own land can grow better than them.
Seeing that a few people were indifferent, Wei Renshi didn't say much.
I really couldn't stand the smell, so I said, "Uncles, I really can't stand the smell, so I'll go over and hide first." These bamboo baskets are almost enough, and after that, let's go to Zheng Lizheng. ”
"Wei Langjun go, haha, the reader can't bear the smell! Go for it. The farmer who worked smiled at Wei Renshi.
These are all Changgu's neighbors, and they all grew up watching Wei Renshi, so they are all very familiar with each other.
Wei Renshi left there, and as soon as he walked to the edge of the field and was about to find a stone to sit down, he saw Sun Laohan leading a person over, but it was Sun Peng, Sun Laohan's nephew.
The two approached, and Sun Laohan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Shaolangjun, Lao Xiao'er's nephew is here!" ”
Sun Peng hurriedly stepped forward from behind Sun Laohan, also saluted, and said: "How can the little He De be able to teach Lang Jun to personally run to invite the little one, it's really embarrassing!" Although the little one has never been a shopkeeper, he will definitely do his best to learn, and he will never disappoint Lang Jun! ”
"Don't say anything else, let's just say that after my family was broken, Sun Aweng has always remembered to help us, and I must repay this kindness. So give you a chance. Wei Renshi smiled: "You have to do your best to learn." I've given you a chance, and it's up to you to take it yourself. I'll give you two years, and after two years, if you can't become a qualified treasurer, then you can only say that you let this opportunity slip away. ”
"The little one understands!" Sun Peng nodded vigorously.
It's good to have ambition, to have hard work, to know your own shortcomings, and to know that you should learn.
Wei Renshi said: "The shop is in Luoyang South City, the place is not small, I will call you when I leave." How about our wine, let Sun Aweng tell you. Think about it in the next few days, how should we run this business after we arrive in Luoyang. It's a lot simpler, I'll tell you later. But the ice shop needs a person who makes all kinds of drinks and food out of ice in front, you can bring your daughter-in-law over these days, and when I teach her, we will set off for Luoyang. ”
"Thank you Lang Jun for your support!" Sun Peng solemnly saluted again and said, "The little one must live up to Lang Jun!" ”
"I hope you remember today's words." Wei Renshi nodded and said, "Let's let Sun Aweng take you to the winery to have a look, recognize the wine in our winery, and figure out the characteristics of each one." ”
Sun Laohan took his nephew away with great gratitude, and Wei Renshi sat on the edge of the field, waiting for the peasants to fill the bamboo baskets, and then went to the wasteland where Zheng Lizheng was coming from the county government.
The wasteland was not too far from Wei Renshi's field, at the junction of Changgu and another neighboring village.
When everyone got there, Zheng Lizheng had already taken people in the past few days, and according to Wei Renshi's request, he used a new-style plough to plough the land several times, completely lifting the soil. The surrounding area is also surrounded by a fence, which is dug down very deep like the fence where Wei Renshi raised earthworms, and the part buried in the ground is made of bamboo, leaving no gaps.
Water was also connected to a bamboo pipe and brought from the field closest to Changgu from here. In accordance with Wei Renshi's request, he dug a drainage ditch in the ground.
In the past few days, the water has been flowing from the bamboo pipe into the soil day and night, seeping into the drainage canal, and the land has been completely flooded.
Wei Renshi instructed the farmers to scatter the earthworms in the bamboo baskets into the ground, and then used a rake to slowly loosen the soil and level the rake.
"Alright, give these little things a little time, they'll come in handy." Wei Renshi smiled at Zheng Lizheng.
