Chapter 11: Farming
"Wind Thunder City has returned to Dashan County, so will we all use Dashan County's banknotes to buy things in the future? Lei Sheng asked suddenly.
Li Chengye scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "I don't know this, people in our village are bartering, and we have never seen paper money, but I think that since Dashan County has received Wind Thunder City, it will definitely implement their paper money, otherwise it will be meaningless." ”
Although it is unpleasant for Lei County to lose control of Wind Thunder City, there is at least one benefit, that is, those Dashan County banknotes in Lei Sheng's hands have a place to use.
The change of regime seems to have little to do with these little people, who rule and whose flag is changed on the walls, they have to work.
If they don't work, whoever comes to be the lord of the city, they will starve to death.
The arrival of Ge Ying, the new city lord of Wind Thunder City, made Lei Sheng, who had planned to go to the Wutong Sect in the afternoon to ask for food seeds, have to postpone the time.
The Wutong sect strengthened the vigilance on the mountain, and many inner disciples went down the mountain to the fields to start parading to prevent anyone from making trouble.
The bored Lei Sheng sat on the head of the field and pressed his hand on the ground on a whim.
When he was still a Phantom Martial Artist, he only had to press his hand on the land, and he could feel the strength of the energy nurtured by this land.
Now he had lost all his internal strength, and he didn't rush to practice because he was still young, but at this moment, when he pressed his hand on the land in the field and his heart was completely calm, he suddenly felt a faint energy.
Lei Sheng Huo Ran opened his eyes.
At this time, he suddenly realized that even if his internal strength was exhausted, some of his feelings had been completely integrated with him, and he could have certain abilities without even deliberately cultivating.
It's just a pity that although he can sense this energy, but because of his lack of internal strength, he can't use himself as a medium to mobilize the elements in nature to change the status quo of this land.
Otherwise, according to his ability in his previous life, this barren land could be turned into fertile land in minutes.
However, the barren land naturally has its reasons, although it cannot be changed by Lei Sheng's cultivation, but as long as the reason is found, it will naturally change by relying on the farmers' farming methods to prescribe the right medicine.
Lei Sheng once again pressed his hand into the soil in the field, feeling the subtle energy in the soil layer.
"Why have you become so barren?"
"We were polluted and the soil became acidic. ”
I see.
It was so simple that Lei Sheng found the answer he wanted.
He opened his eyes, called Xiao Ju over and asked, "Can you find some organic fertilizer?"
Xiaoju asked confusedly, "What is organic fertilizer?"
Well, if you don't understand the technical terms, let's put it in layman's terms.
"Go find some chicken manure, horse manure, pig manure, and pig manure. ”
Xiao Ju was even more confused: "What are you talking about, why haven't I even heard of it?"
"Chickens, horses, pigs. ”
"What is a chicken, what is a horse, and what is a pig?"
"Hey, don't you keep livestock and poultry here?"
"What about livestock and poultry?"
Lei Sheng felt a sense of collapse, and for the first time felt the huge chasm brought about by cultural differences.
He suddenly remembered the milk he had drunk in the Earth Training Ground: "What about the cow, an animal that can milk cows?"
"Oh, I know that. Xiao Ju finally understood.
"Let's go get some cow dung from a nearby village. ”
"What do you do with them?"
"That's a good nourishment, and if you mix it in the soil, the food will grow. ”
"Really?" Xiao Ju was full of doubts.
"Don't you know that you farm?"
Xiao Ju shook her head, indicating that she never knew.
This made Lei Sheng feel so strange.
"I heard my grandfather say that they didn't have to farm when they were young. ”
"And what do they eat?"
"A concentrated capsule, take one tube to fill the day. ”
"Then why didn't you eat it again?"
"The raw materials for the production of capsules are gone, so people think about cultivating land again. ”
"Where do you get the seeds of grain?"
Xiao Ju shook her head: "Then I don't know." ”
I knew it would be the result.
Lei Sheng no longer asked: "Let's go, go get some cow dung and come back." ”
Maybe they have a blind trust in Lei Sheng, or maybe the women in this world don't have any opinions, although Lei Sheng looks like he is only six years old, although they all know that cow dung is smelly and dirty, but none of them question Lei Sheng's decision.
This afternoon, under the leadership of Lei Sheng, they got truckloads of cow dung mixed into the soil of the farmland.
The car is rented for a pound of grain, and the bucket for manure is also rented for grain.
It took them a busy afternoon to tidy up the seven acres of land.
The price paid is that everyone has become stinky, and people dare not approach.
Lei Sheng had to take out another five catties of grain to buy water in the village, and let the six girls wash it well.
If you let ordinary people know that they actually buy water to bathe, you have to spit on them.
Li Chengye watched them mix those stinky things into the soil, it was really shocking, he didn't know what Lei Sheng was doing this, because it was unheard of.
Unable to hide his curiosity for a while, after dinner, he came over and asked, "Brother Lei Sheng, why did you pour all these things into the ground?"
"These fields are so barren that they need to be replenished, and the manure of these animals is the best nourishment to make the soil more nutritious," Leison explains. ”
"Where did you hear that?"
This question made Lei Sheng difficult to answer.
"I also listened to my grandfather. ”
"You've tried it before?"
"Not really. ”
"What if it fails?"
"Trust me, it won't fail. ”
"I don't believe it, if you sprinkle such a disgusting thing in the soil, can you still eat what you grow?"
Lei Sheng knew that the truth in this was not clear just by speaking, and only when he planted the grain and harvested it, so that they could see it for themselves, it would be convincing.
It's just that the people in this world don't know how to farm, it's really weird, so what did their ancestors rely on to sustain their lives before, what happened to the capsule that Xiao Ju said, and what did this world experience before?
No one in front of him could tell him the answer.
"Not only can you eat it, but it's also delicious and nutritious. Lei Sheng said firmly.
Li Chengye didn't think so, and he didn't hit Lei Sheng, in short, he left with a face full of disbelief.
The next day, Lei Sheng came to the Wutong faction early, registered his name, made records, and took the seeds back.
After Li Chengye saw the seeds in Lei Sheng's hand, he couldn't help asking: "How can such a few seeds be enough for seven acres of land." ”
"That's enough. Lei Sheng was also a little confused by Li Chengye's question.
The amount of these seeds, which he had calculated carefully, was absolutely sufficient.
"How many seeds do you put in a pit?"
"Oh, this one, one grain in a pit is enough. ”
"You better put a few more grains, the germination rate is not very high, I put three grains, and there will be a shortage of seedlings in some places." ”
Lei Sheng thanked Li Chengye for his kindness, but he still decided to go his own way.
Li Chengye spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
Under Lei Sheng's careful planning, it took them one morning to bury all the seeds in the soil.
Lei Sheng put his hand into the soil, feeling the energy inside, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
