Farming is a technical job. It may seem simple, but it is not easy to plant a piece of land well.

Chen Yuansheng and Li Bo talked for a long time, from soil to compost, from water conservancy to field management. Although Li Bo can't read a word, he knows these things very well.

Because the previous Chen Yuansheng was locked in the house every day to read and didn't care about this, he didn't have this kind of memory. Therefore, the current Chen Yuansheng has to understand these from the beginning.

It's not that the knowledge in the book is useless, but that you should fill your stomach before you use that knowledge.

People who starve to death have no other way to do anything else.

As for the soil, Lieber's method was to bring in other soil from other places and mix it with the red soil in the mountains.

Regarding fertilizer, the cottage has had a tradition of composting since its inception. Even if it is convenient for the people in the cottage, if they are not particularly urgent, they all go to the field.

Li Bo nodded his head, and Chen Yuansheng nodded frequently.

In the end, Chen Yuansheng gave the only suggestion, which was just to make a relatively large toilet and gather feces for unified fermentation. In this way, the utilization rate of manure is higher than that of directly pulling feces and urine in the field.

When it comes to water conservancy, it is difficult to solve. Chen Yuansheng had a picture of the terraced fields in his mind, but as soon as he said it, Li Bo said that it was unreliable.

The most obvious problem is the lack of water in the mountains. In this era, there was no electric pumping machine, and the water lifting tool with a similar effect was probably a water hose car.

However, not to mention that there are no reliable craftsmen in the cottage, even if there are reliable craftsmen, it is almost an impossible task to build a water hook that goes straight to the top of the mountain and runs perfectly.

There is no way now, it doesn't mean that there will be no way in the future, Chen Yuansheng listened to Li Bo's words and put the terrace plan aside.

Because, he thought, it seems that the premise of most of the terraces is that there are natural springs in the mountains. The hill where the cottage is located must have such favorable natural conditions. The mountain has long been gone.

Chen Yuansheng next, turned the cottage around. The task he set for himself today is to figure out what the people in the cottage are doing and what they are going to do. How to do it is the task of the next few days.

After finishing the things in the cottage first, the next step is to start inspecting the road to see where the road leads, where it needs to be repaired, and how much it costs.

It stands to reason that if you have a relatively mature small team, these things can be done in parallel, saving a lot of time.

It's a pity that where does Chen Yuansheng go to find so many people now, and the people in the cottage basically don't know how to read. To make them useful in these things, you must first teach them to write. Teaching the villagers to be able to read and write is even more difficult than building roads.

What can be done, after all, it is a step that cannot be saved. Could it be that in the end, all the management positions are still used by those who have studied poetry and books, or the family of officials for generations.

Don't be kidding, if you really do that, it is estimated that the life of the most ordinary farmers will not be easy.

Scholars and clerks will use language and knowledge to build a high wall and exploit those who can't climb the wall.

Less targeted, this is to take advantage of information asymmetry to obtain benefits.

Chen Yuansheng believes that there is no problem in obtaining a little benefit and making his life better. But if you take advantage of information asymmetry, let those who don't understand go bankrupt, and the family will be ruined.

Do you have to say, "You deserve it!" Who made you not understand? ”
