"When it grows slowly, it will take at least a month or two. Now I am raising it with fertilizer, but I am afraid that its roots will die. After the growth returns, even half a month before the harvest, it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently. Lin Shuqing said carefully.

Grass ash is a kind of fertilizer, but it is not worth mentioning at all with the fertilizer made by modern chemical plants, and the fertilizer made by modern chemical industry is refined and concentrated, and it may only be fertilized a few times, and it is not necessary to care.

It also depends on the fertility of the soil itself, various factors.

After Lin Shuqing finished speaking, everyone's slightly hanging hearts fell to the ground again, isn't it just a lot of work? When winter comes, they have little to do, so won't they be able to serve the wheat in the field?

"It's simple, you have to do it every day!" Someone in the crowd immediately patted their chests and reassured.

It is related to the issue of the family's rations next year, how can you not be careful.

"It's not every day, it's just once every ten days. And the recipe for this fertilizer, I also told everyone about it. Lin Shuqing continued.

"It's as simple as collecting some dry grass branches, burning them into fine ash, and when they are cool, they are gathered away and sprinkled on the ground. If you scatter it directly, you have to avoid the wind and rain, and when the wind blows, all the ashes will fly away, and if there is water in the ground, it will melt into the water and flow away with the water, and you must also pay attention to the amount of this added in......"

Lin Shuqing said carefully, and the expressions in everyone's eyes changed several times.

I didn't expect Lin Shuqing to say that the fertilizer is such a thing! On weekdays, they live and cook, and they have such a thing in the stove, which turns out to be fertilizer. Just like radish and coriander boiled soup can remove the wind cold, it is something they can't think of.

Everyone listened to it, and felt quite taught, if it wasn't for someone who had read the book, who would have known that these wastes were actually treasures, but fortunately, this fertilizer didn't cost money, there was really no stove ash, and it was okay to go to the mountains to chop wood and burn some.

"And that's the most important point! Everyone, you must keep it in mind! Lin Shuqing's face was a little solemn, "This plant ash is a separate fertilizer, but don't mix it with manure and livestock manure, you must use it alone, otherwise you can't fertilize the field!" I can't save the wheat anymore! ”

She didn't want to explain too much about the chemistry involved, just keep that in mind.

Many people changed their cautious expressions when they heard this, as if they were poked in the heart by Lin Shuqing. On weekdays, I planted vegetables and dug the ground, relying on some manure to fertilize the fields, and now I told them that I couldn't use them together, and I was thinking about whether it would be better to mix them together.

"Why can't you use it with dung? Wouldn't it be better? An old man by the fire asked.

Lin Shuqing turned to the old man, her eyes rolled and said: "My mother said, it was written in the book that the fruit of the tree with plant ash alone bears more fruit than in previous years, and the fruit tree with plant ash and dung water bears not as much fruit as in previous years!" That's why the book says you can't use them together! ”

Lin Shuqing broke the truth in it, and said carefully with the things that this peasant could understand.

"That book must be right! Let's just do it! A strong man in the crowd replied.

"That's right! That's right! ”

Everyone else echoed, and although few of them were literate, they all felt that what could be written in a book must be extraordinary.

Wen Liang listened to Lin Shuqing's words, and felt a little regretful in his heart. When he was young, he also read two books on agriculture in the county school, but the truth in them was far less profound and practical than what Lin Shuqing said, and he felt that he had benefited immensely. I regret that I haven't seen much of the market, I've been to the outside of Fucheng, and I've read such strange books.

He has gray hair, and I am afraid that there is no hope in this life.

After Lin Shuqing finished speaking, he saw many people lowering their heads and pondering carefully, so he continued: "You should also pay attention to how much fertilizer you sprinkle in the ground, and tomorrow you will take the plant ash to the field, and I will teach everyone how to sprinkle this plant ash." ”

When it comes to digging and fertilizing, it's her old job.

This night, many people slept much more peacefully.

Lin Shuqing lay on her haystack and recalled what her teacher had taught her in those years. In fact, there are many kinds of fertilizers that can be made directly, and the fertility is also better, involving various raw materials. But when it will be used in the future, she must always remember.

Early the next morning, the villagers found a nearby spacious place and raised a fire to burn the ashes of the plants and trees. Adults and children were all around the side, waiting for Lin Shuqing's movements.

Seeing that the ashes were about to cool down, four people dressed as officials went directly into the village with sabers.

walked up to the crowded crowd and shouted, "Are you all from Pingnanpo?" Your village is right! ”

Sensing the arrival of the servant, the surroundings were a lot quieter, and Wen Liang immediately greeted him.

"I'm Lizheng from Pingnanpo, these poor masters, what's the matter?" Wen Liang stepped forward with a smile and arched his hands in salute.

The tall and sturdy official at the head took out a crumpled piece of paper from his bosom and read: "The county master has an order!" An adult man from each household in Nanpingpo went to the county to serve in the county, and he had to report to the county before 20 years. ”

When these two words were spoken, the crowd exploded like boiling water.

It's hard to have some hope for this day, and let people go to servitude!

"Poor master, didn't you serve this conscription this summer? Why do you want to take it now? Wen Liang said with a smile on his face.

Hearing everyone's discussions, the messenger who was the leader directly raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "A few days ago, there was a hail in the county and a disaster, and the lord above wanted to send someone down to relieve the disaster, so he had to have a house to live in." Whoever is late will be rewarded with twenty lashes, and those who do not comply with the hiding will be punished by one village. ”

The officials carried knives with a sense of insensitivity.

Lin Shuqing stood in the crowd, and the vicious gaze of those people swept over her, making her quite uncomfortable. The men who serve in the conscription here are at least 16, and her father has been there every year before, so she is impressed, and every time she comes back, she has to be a little injured. There are no adult men in her family, so she does not have to serve as a conscriptor for the time being.

But only temporarily.

"Did you understand?" The officer then shouted.

"Understood, sir." Hearing Liang Yingdao, most of the others were silent.

"Okay, let's go to another village!"

The messenger came in a hurry, and hurried away.

The faces of the people who left a village behind were somewhat ugly. Conscription is numerous and severe, and if you don't do it well, you will be whipped rather than being whipped. I can't eat or sleep well every day, and I have to work for two months.

At the moment, their own houses have not been repaired, and now the lord of disaster relief has come, but he is coming to build a house for them.

Lin Shuqing also truly experienced what it means: prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

"Uncle Wen, it's only five days away from twenty, and there are still so many things in this village......" A man couldn't help but start complaining when he saw the errand officer walking away.
