Traveler Major League

Chapter 50 Notice
In the early morning, as soon as the rooster crowed for the first time, Dujiazhuang started a busier life than usual. Last night, it rained heavily in the middle of the night. Full of water, began to muddy up.

The wheat that had turned yellow was beaten by the rain, and they fell weakly in the fields and fields.

Fortunately, the weather is fine today, it must be a sunny day, and it is a good day to hold a meeting for dividing the land and floating wealth.

Now Liu Ze can finally be free, because everything will be presided over by a successor. He only needs to supervise and train newcomers. He stayed up all night last night, thinking about the secrets of the black slate. The guards woke him up, but there was no way. As a commander, he had to set an example in his personal life, and he had to patrol around, because there were always various things that he needed to decide.

"Commander, Commander." A voice came. At this time, Liu Ze was about to take a nap in the Du's house, but Wang Zhe pushed the door in again. Seeing his anxious face, something must have happened. .

Liu Ze raised his head and said with sleepy eyes, "Bo Zong, what's wrong?"

"The sentinel reported that two cavalrymen are coming to us."

One sentence woke Liu Ze up completely, and he hurried to the door and asked, "Where did the cavalry come from? The officers and soldiers are here?"

"It doesn't look like it. The sentry we arranged on the mountain bag took a shortcut and rushed back and said that they came from the direction of Chengcheng, and it looks like they are not official soldiers."

Liu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt uneasy: "Immediately notify all the troops to assemble and prepare for battle. Just in case something happens."

When the two cavalrymen arrived, the gate of the village had already been closed, and the walls of the village were full of spears.

One of the cavalry was behind, and the other rode to the gate of the place of an arrow, and shouted at Liu Ze on the gate of the village: "Is Liu Ze on the wall of the village the sentry master Liu?"

"I'm Liu Ze." Liu Ze was stunned for a while, now he has too many titles, he is the commander, he is also the head of the family, and now there is another whistler, which should be the honorary title of the whistle chief, which means captain .

"We are ordered by the second brother to let Master Liu Shao bring food and soldiers to Chengcheng to meet up for important discussions." The cavalryman turned over and fell off his horse as he spoke, and his beautiful skills attracted a burst of admiration from the wall of the village.

"I met Brother Liu before in Majiazhai. My name is Wang Youyuan. I used to be with my second brother. Now I was promoted by my second brother and returned to my old job. Do you have any impression of Brother Liu?"

Hearing this, Liu Ze seemed to have some impressions, and now that he was close, he could see the face of the person, so he quickly said, "I was far away just now, so I didn't see it clearly, I hope you will forgive me." Then he called his subordinates to open the gate of the village quickly, and led people to meet him.

With the lifting of the alarm, the surrounding area of ​​the village returned to a busy scene. Soldiers were helping to carry water, fill tiles, drain water, and sweep the floor, but more people were busy in the fields, because the thunderstorm caused a large area of ​​wheat in the wheat fields. Fallen and flooded, so manpower is required.

There are also children and old people carrying dung baskets to collect livestock manure. These are raw materials for supplementing nutrients and increasing production in the fields, and no one dislikes them.

Looking at this thriving scene, Wang Youyuan couldn't help but enviously said: "Master Liu Shao, I'm so at ease, Dujiazhuang is really a good place, we haven't been idle for a while, and the towns and villages around Baishui, Chengcheng City They have been swept up, and those who don't open their eyes will be destroyed and slaughtered, and those who know the current affairs will collect some money and food, but I have never seen such a bustling and prosperous place like yours."

"There is no way around this. When you saw that the wheat was grouting, there was a heavy rain yesterday. It was too untimely. I'm afraid our harvest here will have to be reduced again. Hey, if you can get busy, get busy. Anyway, charge more after a while."

Liu Ze watched Wang Youyuan mess around, and was a little worried, did he come here to find out for the second brother?

"I went to Majiazhai yesterday. People there said you were in Lijiaao. I ran to Lijiaao again. When I arrived, they said you were in Dujiazhuang. Look, I chased you for a while and didn't even eat breakfast. It's all on the way."

Liu Ze heard about the elegant meaning, and quickly asked Wang Zhe to arrange meals, and pulled him into the Du family's house to entertain him well, and he was secretly happy that he would not have to see the various venues in the village and reveal the truth to Wang Er.

But he never thought that Wang Youyuan didn't care about other things, but he was very interested in farming alone. Hearing Liu Ze's talk about the harvest and so on, he actually discussed with Liu Ze the method of farming to increase production.

"Brother Wang, do you know about corn?"

"But maize? Although we have little land in Shaanxi, there is some. My family has grown it."

"That's right, do you know how to raise soybeans and corns in rotation?" Liu Ze remembered that corn was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty, and it was considered a type of sorghum at first, so it was called maize.

"What method is this?"

Although Liu Ze knew the knowledge of these soil methods, the climate at this time was very different from that of later generations, but he also deliberately explored: "Two rows of corn and four rows of soybeans are interplanted in strips, and soybeans and wheat can also be planted in rotation, which can raise It can also increase production.”

"I have tried this similar method, and it can be used for two years to reduce production again."

"Is there any fertilizer?"

"There is also a mixture of straw, wheat stalks, manure, and leaves, covered with straw, and opened once every 20 days, and it can be used in March."

At this time, it was Liu Ze's turn to be surprised. These are the correct methods to increase production. I didn't expect Wang Youyuan to know it, but it didn't work well. Liu Ze continued: "I also have a method. I can use fresh cow dung, soybean powder, Plaster of Paris powder, mix it evenly according to the proportion, seal it with an earthen kiln (brick kiln) for three days, and add 3 times the weight of water when fertilizing. It can increase fertility. I call it soil ammonia fertilizer, and it can also use human urine, Plaster of paris and water are evenly mixed according to the proportion, and then fertilized directly after being sealed in an earthen kiln (brick kiln) for 10 days. I call it soil sulfur fertilizer. It can also be processed into bone meal such as pig bones, which can be used as base fertilizer They are all simple ways to increase production.”

Wang Youyuan didn't look like a cavalry warrior at this time, but a farmer, and asked: "I thought I was a good farmer since I was a child. Later, I recruited soldiers from the army and went to many places, but I haven't seen anything like it. You are such a man as Mu Zhi."

After saying that, he put down the wine glass, stretched out his hand to open Liu Ze's right palm and continued: "Look, you don't have any calluses on your hands, and you look tall and strong, but I can tell you haven't done heavy work at a glance. If you drag it too long, I will call you brother, how do you know the method of interplanting and interplanting? The technique of composting and retting?"

Liu Ze was also on the stick and said: "Brother Wang, I used to study medicine with Master, and I often read some agricultural books."

"What agricultural books have brother Liu read?"

Hearing the question, Liu Ze has never really read these agricultural books, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "I read "Qi Min Yao Shu" when I was young, but I don't remember it so clearly."

"I haven't read "Qi Min Yao Shu", but I have read "Wang Zhen's Agricultural Book" by Wang Zhen and Wang Boxan. It can be called a masterpiece through the ages, but I have been farming at home all these years, but I can’t survive.”

Liu Ze comforted: "The time is unfavorable today, it is not our fault."

"That's right, this god of thieves, it's either drought or flood or plague, and there are dog officials running amok, brother Liu, you can understand that this method of increasing production is useful and limited, this is god of thieves forcing people to die "Wang Youyuan stood up, walked to the door, turned around and said, "Brother Yu Ting and I are quite familiar, he specially told me to come and have a look, please don't think too much about it."

"Ah, Brother Yu Ting misses me so much. After my second brother rescued me in Majiazhai that day, I have been following Brother Yu. I want to go to the countryside to collect money and food for my second brother. It was also Brother Yu who gave me weapons, food, vehicles and supplies. Really, really," said Liu Ze, who also stood up and picked up a glass of wine, facing the direction of Chengcheng, taking a sip, but he drank in a hurry, coughing and choking a few times.

Wang Youyuan said: "Brother Yu asked me to bring you a message. I heard that my brother has gained a lot recently, and he needs to send money and food back to Chengcheng as soon as possible to repay the second brother."

Liu Ze was stunned for a while, is this beating me?It's only been a few days, brother Yu is so well informed?
