Farming is something that needs to be taken seriously.

The land does not deceive people.

Those who work hard may not always be able to reap a good harvest, but those who are perfunctory will always lose everything.

This is even more true in this day and age.

Within a few days of Wei Renshi's return, he hired a group of people to stay in the wasteland that Zheng Lizheng had obtained through the county government all day, using the knowledge he brought from the afterlife to try to change the wasteland that could not be planted properly.

Soil improvement is a long-term and long-lasting process, which can only be adhered to and maintained according to a series of measures, and there is no solution once and for all.

Turning over the soil and washing the salt is what Wei Renshi has done most often in recent times.

The so-called salt comes with the water, and salt goes with the water. Water is poured into the field until a layer of water forms at a certain depth in the ground, and the field is soaked in water.

In this way, the salts in the soil are fully dissolved.

The dissolved water is then drained from the drain to reduce the sudden salt content.

It's a very effective approach, but the demand for water is huge. However, there are many rivers in Fuchang, and there is no water, and this method can be applied.

It's a pity that the river water in this section of Fuchang is relatively clear, and there is not much sediment in it. Otherwise, it can even be silted at the same time when the salt is washed, and the sediment in the water will be silted up to form a layer of fertile sediment and new soil to cover the original soil, which is more effective.

This method of washing salt with sediment-rich water and silting up new soil at the same time can be tried in Weinan. Wei Renshi wrote this method in a reply letter to Liu Yuxi and told him.

Salt washing alone is effective, but it is not enough.

You have to dig deeper.

The deep soil is turned up by deep ploughing, and the soil is dispersed by a fine rake. In this way, soil compaction can be prevented, the aggregate structure of the soil can be improved, water permeability and air permeability can be enhanced, and water and fertilizer can be retained. It is also beneficial to the microbial activity in the soil, thereby improving fertility and inhibiting salt accumulation.

These are all the knowledge that Wei Renshi learned when he was doing poverty alleviation work in his later life.

At that time, I still complained that being a rural teacher in a poor mountainous area was poor enough to be busy enough, and I had to help others with poverty alleviation. Who knew it would all come in handy now.

"Wei Langjun, let's just water the ground and turn the soil over and over again, so that these wastelands can be turned into fertile land?" When he sat down to rest, Zheng Lizheng asked while drinking ice water with a bowl.

"This is just the beginning, and it's the foundation. After this autumn's harvest, we will have to harvest the wheat stalks. Wei Renshi said: "The more wheat stalks are harvested, the better, and we need to make straw mulching on these wastelands." ”

"That's good to say, the wheat stalks are not expensive, and they usually keep some fires in each house, and the rest of the fires that can't be used are burned." Zheng Lizheng said.

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "The basic method is these, first improve the soil, and then increase the fertility. There are many ways to increase fertility, and it's basically the same as usual. However, this is not a one-and-done method, you must always do this, and you must hurry up to do this in the interval between farming, otherwise within a few years, it will become a wasteland again. ”

Zheng Lizheng nodded and said, "Understood." Wei Langjun, if you want me to say, you better go back and rest and rest, I am watching here, as long as you do what you arranged, nothing will go wrong. Although Wei Langjun was precocious, he was not able to achieve it in the end. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid Wei Langjun will not be able to bear it. ”

"What can I do, it's just a matter of talking." Wei Renshi said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng led people to do the work. ”

"By the way, when you were in Luoyang a few days ago, the county chief bookkeeper came to see our watering agency with the Lizheng from other villages, and we wanted to make a set for each village." Zheng Lizheng said: "If you are not at home, I will take it upon myself to let them learn the mechanism of overturning the car and watering the ground." I thought that after all, it was apportioned by the county, and if I didn't take it out, the county government would be so unsightly. In the future, I still want to deal with the wasteland in Fuchang County. ”

"It should." Wei Renshi said: "Fuchang Diping, this method can be spread and used, and everyone can be more relaxed." ”

"I know, Wei Langjun will definitely say so." Zheng Lizheng said with a smile: "But I also told them, this is all Wei Langjun's hard work, you must remember Wei Langjun's good." ”

After that, Zheng Lizheng grinned again, stared at Wei Renshi, and said, "Right now, maybe the people in Fuchang know that there is a prodigy in our Changgu, but I'm afraid that the matchmaker will break through the threshold of your family." Hahahaha......"

"I'm twelve." Wei Renshi shook his head helplessly: "My aunt has already met seven or eight matchmakers. I'm really afraid that one day she will have an impulse, so she will say the next one for me. If that's the case, I'll run in! ”

Zheng Li was grinning, his back molars were about to be exposed, and said: "When you Aya left, I just wanted you to get married earlier, I think you can't hide from it." But you don't have to be afraid, Mrs. Wei won't let you get married now. At most, I'll settle a few for you, and then let you in after sixteen. ”

"I'm really going to run into the customs!" Wei Renshi imagined the aesthetics of his wife, trembled on his body, and said firmly.

Zheng Lizheng laughed, drank the remaining ice water in the bowl, got up and shouted to continue working.

The busy days in the fields lasted for a month, and the first batch of grass quilts and straw was finally delivered to Wei Renshi's field.

There are one-third of the three hundred, and you can't even put up the top of the first layer.

However, when the skeleton of the greenhouse is built, the grass is spread on the grass first, and the later ones are made again.

Wei Renshi's field is quite regular, and this is the benefit of the fields of the plains.

From one end of the ground to the other end of the ground, it is considered a greenhouse.

Pillars must be made in the middle, tenons and beams must be made on top, and the skeleton of the roof of the shed must be supported, and only after these are done can the grass quilt and straw be laid on it.

From this end to the other, more than 130 sheets of grass and straw quilts must be laid, which is the inner shed inside.

There is also an outer shed outside the inner shed, and when the weather is particularly cold, the grass quilt of the outer shed can also be spread to increase heat preservation. When it's not so cold, you can remove the grass to lower the temperature and increase the light.

It's just that in this way, the illumination is affected. I had to deliberately stagger some gaps in the middle to allow light to shine in.

In fact, the people in the village like to let Wei Renshi hire to do the work.

Not only does Wei Renshi have a good attitude towards people, but he always pays more than he is hired by others. There is also ice water to drink, and sometimes even an extremely delicious meal.

Therefore, Wei Renshi hired people to repair the greenhouse, and the village was full of applicants, which also gave Wei Renshi sufficient labor to quickly build the greenhouse.
