After breakfast the next day, Bai Wei and Tian Dong came over, ready to say goodbye and set off back to Wanghe Village.
When Cheng Xue saw the two of them coming together, she raised the corner of her mouth and gave some symbolic instructions.
"...In short, Bai Wei has experience. Please discuss with Bai Wei more on the way to Tiandong. If Jia An and Jia Ning are okay this time when we go back, we will bring them over. But you will teach them personally, especially in accounting and settling accounts. , I’m useful.”
"Yes, ma'am. The villain takes orders."
After Tiandong finished speaking, he kowtowed with Bai Wei and left the house side by side.
Judging from the back alone, they really match each other very well.
Cheng Xue looked at Bai Shao with a smile and asked pointedly:
"How's it going? Is it okay?"
Bai Shao could not help but nod, and said with joy:
"My slave thinks it's good. She's more cheerful than Sister Baizhu, and she matches my brother's stuffy gourd very well."
"Go and tell Shunxi, you still haven't answered the recent messages."
"Yes."
Bai Shao bowed his knees and went out.Cheng Xue once again took the children to start living in a small house.
Outsiders can't come in, and they won't go out.The cattle and sheep left behind are enough for them to eat for a long time, and the house has sauerkraut, radishes, potatoes, etc., which is more than enough for them to stay away from home for a month.
The mansion at the back of the government office was in good order, but the mountain top of Mopan, which was far away, was extremely busy.
Putting aside the iron ore matter for the time being, the blacksmiths were digging holes in the village every day.After the rows of houses were evacuated, the ground was dug, leaving a three-meter width around them.Wen Tian started digging after he left. The first two rows of houses have been excavated, and the four rows at the back are still left.
They are only responsible for digging the pit, and they have no control over what happens in the pit.
It didn't take long for someone to start carrying thick and large bluestone slabs up the mountain and place them one by one in the house.
It’s not clear what it’s used for specifically, but there are so many high-quality bluestones that are definitely not cheap.
There was a dug foundation in the open space on the north side of the mountain, but the house was wiped out before it could be built.When the spring thaws, this area will also need to be dug. Everyone knows what to do specifically, which is retting.They are all men who came from farmyards and are no strangers to fertilizing and farming.But such large-scale digging of pits for fertilization still baffled the blacksmiths and soldiers.
Just as everyone was talking more and more every day, ox carts arrived one after another at the foot of the mountain.
What was pulled on the car was nothing but bird droppings.
It was cold, and the bird droppings had frozen into lumps, so they didn’t have much flavor.
The day after the guano arrived, ox carts, donkey carts, and carriages arrived in the mountains one after another. The carts were pulling either cow dung, sheep dung, or horse dung, and donkey dung.When Du Qi and others poured livestock excrement into the house, they discovered that the surrounding areas and the bottom of the pit were all covered with bluestone slabs.
Not to mention the blacksmiths, even the soldiers guarding the mountain were confused as to why such an expensive thing was used to hold excrement.
Soon, people from the government office arrived.Not only did they put bean poles into the manure tank, they also put a lot of plaster of paris, soybean flour and other materials.Bean poles and plaster of paris are nothing more than soybean flour, which is a food that can fill the stomach, but it is also put into the cesspool. It is like cold water dripping into a hot oil pan and boiling immediately.
While everyone was talking, they felt a little regretful. After all, soybean noodles were too luxurious.However, Du Qi was also smart, so he only asked his companions to say a few words in private. No one should nag him again when he went home or during normal times.
With his advice, the matter was brought to light in such a casual manner.The cesspools in the house are eighty percent full, and after they are all melted, the stove is lit again and again every day.From now until spring plowing, it can be done in three months.By the time Li Hui returned to Mopan Mountain after inspecting all the counties in the northern prefecture, the manure tanks had already begun to ferment.
About ten meters away from the rows of houses, you can smell it, and it's quite offensive.
"Master Li, please wear this." Tian Mao said as he handed over a few mugwort face towels, "This was sent by Mrs. Li. It has a faint smell of mugwort, so you won't be smoked when you go in."
Li Hui inspected the territory this time and wrote to Cheng Xue wherever he went.Even if she didn't leave the house, she would know what was outside and what he had done.It is still necessary to give this thing, otherwise it will still be harmful to the body if you always smell this smell.
After taking the face towel and putting it on, the faint scent of mugwort entered my nose. It was light and smelled very good.
"Master Li, this way please."
Everyone followed Tian Mao into a room and burned it once a day for an hour, so the room couldn't be said to be very hot, but it didn't freeze anyone.
The original eight-point filthiness in the pit has now completely disappeared. There is a light yellow film on the excrement water above, and occasionally there will be a few bubbles.
Everyone stood on the three-meter width reserved. Whether it was scooping fertilizer or placing a wheelbarrow, the width was just right.
"How often do people from the workshop come?" Li Hui squatted down and asked.
He really didn't mind the smell and wanted to see the color of the fermented manure up close.
"As for Mr. Li, they come here every seven days and stay here for two days before returning."
Now Tian Mao is in charge of the entire Mopan Mountain and the Blacksmith Village.There is a team of 20 people here, five in the village and 15 in the mountain.There are two fire-headed soldiers on the mountain who are responsible for three meals a day for these people.The tofu shop in the village has been opened, and a mountain of tofu is delivered every day.
They lived in the guard house in the original village. The house was spacious but didn't have many things, so it was just right for living.
"What do the people from the workshop do every time they come over? Do you follow them?"
"We are following them." Tian Mao nodded, "I followed them the whole time because I was afraid of wandering around on the mountain..."
The two of them were chatting animatedly, while the others were in a daze.The key is that the smell in the room is so strong that you can still smell it even if you bring a face towel.But the two of them were so excited that no one had any intention of leaving.Dexi and Yongxi, who had been following, looked at each other and suddenly felt envious of Chengxi and Wenxi.If I had known they would have driven back to report the news, it would have been better than staying here to smell the smell.
Li Heng took the opportunity to practice breathing and holding his breath, which was also fun for himself.Yan Yixin listened carefully and slowly moved closer to Li Hui.
"...The people in the factory estimate that if these fertilizers are used properly, thousands of acres of fertile land can be planted. They also say that if the weather is good next year, the fields that have been used with these fertilizers will be able to harvest hundreds of kilograms more grain per acre than the fields that have not been used. ."
An extra acre can yield hundreds of catties, and a thousand acres can yield more than a thousand catties.
Li Hui naturally understands the benefits of chemical fertilizers, especially in this era without technology and hard work, such fertilizers are the most valuable.
"Okay, let's do this for now. After the spring thaws, we will continue digging at the northern part of the mountain. This place will become a manure-making workshop in the future. It will definitely make money in two years at the latest."
"Okay, okay, I will wait for that day to come. I will arrange a room for you now..."
"No need, let's go back now. It's been too long since we've been out, and I miss home."
When Cheng Xue saw the two of them coming together, she raised the corner of her mouth and gave some symbolic instructions.
"...In short, Bai Wei has experience. Please discuss with Bai Wei more on the way to Tiandong. If Jia An and Jia Ning are okay this time when we go back, we will bring them over. But you will teach them personally, especially in accounting and settling accounts. , I’m useful.”
