Chapter 161: Don't fight unprepared battles
Forehead......
Yu Qiuyu was embarrassed again.
Is this topic so hard to skip over?
But in the end, Yu Qiuyu successfully dragged the eldest aunt from the inner hall of the prefect's yamen to her residence.
Yu Yifan still has his own things to do, and his aunt is here, which is always a little in the way.
Yu Qiuyu didn't know and wasn't sure what Yu Yifan would do after she knew that she was disturbed by gossip, and she hoped that Yu Yifan wouldn't do anything than she wanted to know what Yu Yifan would do.
This kind of thing, the more you help, the more chaotic it becomes, and the more it is depicted, the darker it becomes.
If Yu Yifan is allowed to come forward, he may arouse suspicion.
Yu Qiuyu originally wanted to say these thoughts in front of her aunt, but because of her current identity, Yu Qiuyu couldn't say it yet, so as not to arouse suspicion.
"Auntie, I want to ask, how is your rice field growing?"
However, after pulling the eldest aunt away from the scene of the crisis, Yu Qiuyu directly asked about the situation in the rice field to change the topic.
After all, in addition to her own worries, the eldest aunt is most concerned about the rice field, the eldest aunt is a farmer in the end, facing the loess with her back to the sky, farmland, grain, and harvest, she is naturally concerned.
Yu Qiuyu's idea was effective, and it succeeded in shifting the aunt's attention from gossip to agricultural production.
"Don't say it, Xiao Qiuyu, the seedling method you said is really useful, and ah, you told your uncle that you hope to raise some crabs in the mountains, so that it can effectively prevent insect pests, it is true, it can really prevent insect pests, your eldest uncle praised you the night before. He said, I really didn't expect you to come up with such a wonderful idea, after raising rice crabs, I rarely see insect pests on rice again. ”
Speaking of the production of her own rice and Yu Qiuyu's idea, the eldest aunt was full of praise.
Yu Qiuyu's little head is really clever enough.
Hey.
Yu Qiuyu smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Since my uncle's rice production is in good condition, it will be good, and I don't have to worry about my mistake in my mind and let the rice production in my uncle's land be reduced, causing an unforgivable sin."
The eldest aunt couldn't help but pull her lips and smile.
"You kid, look at what you said, where is it so serious? You are your great uncle's niece after all. ”
Finally, Yu Qiuyu completely attracted the attention of the eldest aunt with the matter of the rice field.
The eldest aunt was no longer as angry as she was when she first came to the prefect's yamen, and a smile began to appear on her face.
Yu Qiuyu saw that the eldest aunt did not want to continue to ask about the meaning of the gossip, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, so that she would not worry about the eldest aunt continuing to embarrass Yu Yifan.
Actually, those gossips and other things are short-lived, but they are half-truths and half-truths, and their credibility is not high.
They spread this kind of gossip just to have fun, and there are very few people who can really believe this kind of rumor, to be honest.
These Lingnan villagers look pedantic on the surface, but in fact they are all shrewd.
They naturally know that some things can be believed and some things cannot be believed.
After sending her aunt away from her house, Yu Qiuyu hurriedly packed up her clothes and hats, picked up her hoe and everything, and prepared to go to the mountains to see her family's rice fields.
Just now, the eldest aunt was so delayed here that she almost forgot about this important matter.
Although a large number of rice crabs can effectively help prevent pests in rice, in addition to insect pests, there are also some weeds that can affect the growth of rice.
Insects can be prevented by rice field crabs, but weeds and other things grow with rice, and they will grab nutrients in the field with rice, and the land where she breeds rice is currently the most fertile in the whole of Lingnan, and there are naturally many grasses.
With such land, it must be very suitable for the growth of rice, but the fly in the ointment is that while it is suitable for the growth of rice, there are also many weeds, so she has to be diligent in going up the mountain to weed.
Fortunately, there aren't many weeds in the field.
Yu Qiuyu cleaned up a large part of it, and she did not rush to clear the weeds from the rice and throw them on the side of the road or somewhere, but continued to put the weeds removed in the middle of the straw.
Grass will rot in this humid environment, and the decay of grass will continue to decompose into inorganic salts and organic matter, and if inorganic salts and organic matter seep into the soil, it will have considerable benefits for the growth of rice.
She still remembers that in modern rice production, modern people are anxious for quick success, and there is usually not much organic matter and inorganic salt in the land where rice is grown, and the way they provide organic matter and inorganic salt for rice is generally to add chemical fertilizer.
Yu Qiuyu actually doesn't like this approach.
Although chemical fertilizers can make the soil rich in some organic salts and inorganic substances, it is chemically synthesized, and there will be advantages and disadvantages, and there will definitely be some things that are not conducive to human health.
In fact, Yu Qiuyu has studied how to make the organic matter content in the soil higher, that is, plant decay, plants continue to absorb organic matter and inorganic salts from the soil to help them grow and develop, then their bodies must contain a large amount of organic matter and inorganic salts, and they decompose after death, which is also decomposed into organic matter and inorganic salts.
As for increasing the content of organic matter and inorganic salts in the land, Yu Qiuyu's suggestion is to return the trees to the forest and the grass to the forest.
After a few years of raising and letting the plants rot, you may be able to increase the content of organic matter and inorganic salts in the soil by a large margin.
However, those researchers engaged in agricultural production are more eager for quick success, and they feel that this method is too much waste of time, and no one wants to use this method.
As a result, the rice harvest they planted was not as good as it was every year, and even with the addition of chemical fertilizer, the harvest was not satisfactory.
As for Yu Qiuyu's side, it has only been two years since he returned to the grass and returned to the field, and the yield per mu of the land has caught up with the yield per mu of their land over the years, facts speak louder than words, there is no doubt that Yu Qiuyu's decision is quite correct.
Recalling the past, Yu Qiuyu was looking at the weeds piled up in front of him.
If she can achieve her goal of rice yield per mu this time, she will plant rice for another year, almost two or three years, and she will plant some crops on this rice that are easy to decompose inorganic salts and organic matter, and add a little more nutrients to the land on this mountain.
After all, it's all about sustainability.
Thinking about it, Yu Qiuyu squatted down to observe the ground under his feet, focusing on observing the soil under his feet.
The soil is brownish-yellow and relatively sticky.
This shows that the soil where rice is planted is still healthy soil rich in inorganic salts and organic matter, she stood up again and looked at the woods, there are still a large number of mushrooms in the woods, she thinks that the mountain she selected, Zhao Zhichen contracted for her is rich in nutrients, very suitable for the development of agriculture.
After observing her own land, Yu Qiuyu went down the mountain to prepare to go home, and on the way home, she also looked at other people's land.
Other people's soil looks the same as the soil on their own hills, but if you twist the soil and look closely, you can see the tricks in the soil.
They will use this fixed piece of rice land to grow rice every year, which leads to the loss of nutrients from the soil too quickly, if these soils are not cultivated and nurtured, these lands will not be able to make their yield per mu meet the basic standard, plus the insect pest is more serious, so Yu Qiuyu judged that their rice yield this year will be reduced.
Yu Qiuyu squatted down to check the other party's soil, and before he could stand up, the villagers who came to him saw this scene, and did not figure out what the situation was, subconsciously thinking that Yu Qiuyu's own rice was not growing well, and he couldn't get used to the good growth of their rice, and wanted to take revenge on himself.
"What are you doing?"
The villagers hurriedly ran to Yu Qiuyu, blocked their ground, and looked Yu Qiuyu up and down with a wary face.
"Yu girl, what do you want to do? Are you trying to move our land? Let me tell you, don't think that if your brother is the prefect, we will be afraid of you, even if he is the prefect? This is Lingnan, we can drown him with a mouthful of spittle, don't you want to bully people and move our family's land. ”
Yu Qiuyu was really a little speechless.
Where did he go?
She was not interested in their family's land.
He lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Do you think I will be interested in your family's land if I contract a whole mountain?" Don't worry, I'm not interested in fighting you for territory, I just have something to do, I'll pick it up. ”
The other party looked at Yu Qiuyu suspiciously.
"Really?"
Yu Qiuyu glanced at him impatiently, "Otherwise?" Do you think it's fake? ”
After speaking, Yu Qiuyu waved his hand impatiently, walked past the villager, and walked towards his residence without looking back.
Coveting their land?
She Yu Qiuyu needed to tell the other party very clearly that he was thinking too much.
The nutrient loss of their land is too serious, even if it is used for farming, it cannot increase the yield, so she does not hesitate to ask for it.
Yu Qiuyu left very simply, and he was frank, not like he had a ghost in his heart.
The villager watched Yu Qiuyu's back as he left, and fell into a moment of hesitation.
Is Yu Qiuyu really as frank as she appears on the surface?
She was looking at the rice fields just now, what the hell was she doing?
Anyway, Yu Qiuyu said that she quickly returned to her home to plant, and she didn't even go back once.
I don't know why, she was a little uneasy.
Just now she met that villager, who was so wary of herself, and when she opened her mouth and closed her mouth, Yu Yifan was holding his official position to press him......
The two siblings didn't do anything at all, so why did this villager look so weak-hearted?
Yu Qiuyu said it was very incomprehensible.
