Chapter 70
The late sweet potato harvest took a few days.

The villagers in Shi'ao Village were very excited. After their own harvest, they went to nearby houses to check on other people's harvests. They also enthusiastically weighed each family's output.

People who use manure are very happy.

The manure doesn't look special, but why are the sweet potatoes growing so big and numerous?

However, farmers really don’t want to use it that much. Since it is so useful, just use it!
As soon as the sweet potatoes were harvested, some people began to carry manure materials to the collective manure pit to put fertilizer. There was even a long queue. In less than three days, the manure pit could no longer contain it.

Seeing this situation, Liu Mulin quickly ordered everyone to stop delivering manure materials.

That's it. Many people are still unwilling and worry that they won't be able to use their land for farming. If they give more, they can use it more.

"Defu, what do you think we should do?"

Liu Mulin felt that this was not an option. Many people would not be willing to give it away, but if they could not give it away, they would not be able to give it away.

In the past, when there were few people, it was stipulated that each family should use more if they gave more. Now the situation is a little different. If there is no fair measure, everyone will probably have opinions.

"We will count each family's fields. Based on the number of fields and the amount of manure to be used, we will ask each family to send how much manure material they need. Then we will ask how much manure to use based on the number of acres of fields!"

Jiang Defu said directly.

Fertilizer is not good if used too much.

The manure he lets everyone use now is actually chemical fertilizer added in the name of manure.

As for the appropriate timing of farmyard fertilizer, each household still needs to use it.

"You have to be smart to get rich. This is the fairest calculation!"

Liu Mulin couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

This kid is so smart, why didn’t he think of it!

Liu Mulin directly held a meeting to discuss the situation. Although there were many discussions, in the end this seemed to be the fairest and everyone was satisfied.

Of course, at the meeting, Liu Mulin also announced something that Jiang Defu had warned, that is, the matter of Shi'ao Village's manure was a secret in the village and must not be spread out.

If it leaks out, this family’s manure supply will be cut off!
Everyone was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

It's about your own interests, so you guys naturally have no objections.

Jiang Defu also considered this matter recently. He had never planted land before, and he did not expect that the yield could suddenly increase so much.

If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation. After all, this is a matter of eating.

He also wants to benefit the world and let everyone have enough to eat.

But for his current identity and the origin of his fertilizer, for the people in the village, they receive less information from the outside world and have limited knowledge and culture. As long as they get benefits, they won't think so much!
But if this kind of thing is spread and used on a large scale, some people are bound to doubt the origin of his fertilizer.

According to his general understanding, although it would take decades for chemical fertilizers to be popularized in his large land, they have already become popular abroad, and some upper-level scholars and experts in China should also know about it. of.

It's just that these things are all imported from outside, and Laiguo doesn't have the technology to produce them yet.

Before his own power is not strong, letting others know that he has these things is bound to be a crime, and he does not want to take risks.

All he can do is benefit the people he can within his own capabilities and within his own safety.

Although he is a technician, he doesn't know much about growing wheat.

In this era, there are actually no big problems with the method and time of planting wheat and field planting. The only thing missing is fertilizer.What he is doing now is telling everyone how to apply fertilizer according to the suggestions in the instruction materials.

Because too many people use fertilizers, the points in Jiang Defu's system are spent quickly, which makes him feel a little painful.

Fortunately, his "thank you" system is quite useful.

Nowadays, the villagers are very obedient. When they see him, the common greeting words here are: Have you eaten?
Replaced with "Thank you for being rich"!
It’s much easier to earn these points!
……

After planting wheat, the countryside has entered the slack season.

The women began to be busy doing leisure work such as making clothes and mending quilts, while the men also had time to stand at the entrance of the village and smoke dry cigarettes.

Jiang Defu's family became busy because they built a house.

This is the case in rural areas. There is no time to build a house during the busy farming period, so they usually choose to build a house when winter is about to begin.

They didn't think about asking anyone. They thought it would be enough to have Shi Daniu and Shi Changsheng help. Many people suddenly came to the village.

Jiang Defu now has an unusual status in the village. People came early when they heard that their family was building a house.

The bricks and tiles made in the summer are now being fired. The autumn air is crisp and it is a good time to build a house.

Many people are powerful!
It took two days to lay the foundation, but the work of erecting the wall went very quickly!

Nowadays, farmers in rural areas, even young people, are very skilled in building houses.

The main body of the three rooms in the front yard and three rooms in the backyard has been completed in less than a week.

Originally, Jiang Defu thought that a small cover would be sufficient.

When I was waiting to cover it, I still felt that since I had started to cover it, it would be better to get it done in one go.

The front yard is large, and the three rooms just surround the yard.

There were originally three rooms in the backyard, but Jiang Defu simply widened the backyard and built three more rooms on the north side, forming a small courtyard, which is actually equivalent to three independent small courtyards.

Fortunately, in this era, there is no so-called homestead. Whoever occupies that place can build it as long as he has the ability.

He had thought about it, Jiang Decai had a family and could live in the front yard.

As for Jiang Dehua and Zhang Guilan, they lived in the original backyard. The small yard was against the gable on one side, so it was convenient for them to be alone. After all, there was the so-called system, and they could study some problems by themselves.

On the day when you go up to the beams, you need to sprinkle beam sugar on them.

Jiang Defu had seen this kind of custom in his previous life. In rural areas, people usually spread candies or some snacks, while in cities there is a moving banquet. Although the form changes, the custom does not change the medicine. They all express a kind of prayer and joy, hope. The days to come will be smooth sailing.

Because of the hard times, Shi'ao Village Shangliang usually only spreads some raw peanuts or cornstarch, which is considered a generous family. After all, no one has built a house in the past few years.

If we can't even provide enough food and clothing, who can afford to build a house?

Jiang Defu asked Jiang Dehua and Zhang Guilan to fry a lot of peanuts, pop some popcorn with corn kernels (the technology of iron lump popcorn was already available in this era), and steam several pots of cereals, just to celebrate the ceremony.

The children in the village have long heard that Liang Saxi of the Jiang family is rich in things.

Yes, although the preparation of these things by the Jiang family was inconspicuous in Jiang Defu's previous life, putting them here is a big deal, and that is called generosity!
"Oh! Why are you all here? Our family will be ruined if you do this!"

Jiang Defu was checking to see if everything he had prepared was complete when he heard Jiang Dehua's noise at the door.
