Chapter 75 Don’t worry about stepping on shit!

There are iron plows, iron hoes and other farming tools in front, and fertilization and irrigation in the future. It can be said that if the combination of the two will directly cross the hard work of hundreds or even thousands of years, and put countless accidental discoveries in front of you, the effect it presents is obviously amazing.

However, the blueprint is beautiful, but it is not easy to implement. There are many specialties for single fertilizers, including many commonly used natural fertilizers, green manure, human feces and urine, compost, fermentation, manure, etc.

In the past and modern times, compost and fermentation were mostly used as base fertilizer in rural areas to improve the land and make the land more fertile.

However, Xiguo is now located in the humid south with many rice fields, so it is more suitable for fermenting.

Fertilizer takes a certain amount of time to ferment, and the fertilizer made in winter is just right to use in the spring of the next year.

While Yao Yun was thinking, Wu Tong asked again with a serious look on his face. There was no trivial matter about farming, so he couldn't help but worry:

"Master, does feces really have such great effect?"

Yao Yun nodded: "This is natural, but it is difficult to fertilize raw feces and urine, which is too strong and can easily burn crops. We need to fertilize in winter."

Wu Tong asked without shame, looking humbly asking for advice: "What is fertilizer?"

Yao Yun replied: "Fertilizer means putting crop stems, green manure, weeds, etc. together with rivers, pond mud and human feces and urine in a water pit. After fermentation, it becomes fertilizer, which can be applied to the land and improve land fertility."

Wu Tong nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and at this time he showed a sudden look: "I understand. Xidu once had a mud pit, which was full of all kinds of miscellaneous things. Many naughty children also like to poop and pee in it. Later, they filled in and built a house and planted trees. Alas, when they think back, the trees there grew so fast."

Wu Tong was talking, and after saying that, he looked like he was thinking about it very terrifyingly, his eyes full of surprise.

The bald dragon saw that Wu Laoer was very serious and thought about it, so he thought about it and turned into a afterimage.

Not long after, the bald dragon came again, with a look of astonishment and strangeness on his face.

"It's true that the trees planted together are the tallest trees in the sludge pit, far exceeding other trees!"

Wu Tong and the bald dragon looked at each other. If they were skeptical before, they had already believed most of them.

What the king (the prince) said was actually true!

"There is actually better fertilizer than green manure." Wu Tong's eyes were full of excitement.

However, at this moment, Yao Yun showed a look of embarrassment on his face. This was a filthy thing in the world. It was a bit difficult to collect and then fertilize.

So Yao Yun asked for help from the second elder Wu Tong:

"Second elder, feces are filthy things, and ordinary people may not want to collect them. Do you see if the witch temple is..."

Before Yao Yun finished speaking, the second elder Wu Tong patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, let me leave this matter to Lao I and Wu Temple!"

......

The next day, Wu Temple came forward and gathered the people who went to Wu Temple to cry about the lack of food in their homes a few days ago, and told them that King Xi wanted to hire them to work, not only to make food, but also to receive some food as wages.

Now, the people of Xidu were alarmed and rushed to tell each other.

In fact, 99% of the people in this world are on the line of food and clothing. In this cold winter, no one will have surplus food, and the best situation is just to keep it. When I heard that the king was going to hire the people to work, not only did he manage food but also gave food, who would not be excited after hearing it.

Everyone wants to work and earn food.

But after people heard the king's announcement, everyone was stunned.

To build thatched cottages, and to build sixty thatched cottages at one time, what else do you need to dig a fertilized pond? What is this and what is it?

"Build an thatched cottage, what is the king doing for building an thatched cottage? And it's so many of them at once, I really can't figure it out."

"Yes, although the palace is big, it's enough to dig three or four cesspools."

"Hmph, you can't figure it out yet. The king just wants to find a way for those who are short of food and cannot survive. This cesspool and thatched cottage are not built in the palace, but in every corner of Xidu!"

There was a person who was quite knowledgeable and suddenly saw the king's intentions.

For a moment, the people were mixed with emotions.

"The king is so kind. It turns out that the king's painstaking efforts are here. I heard that many people went to the Wu Temple to cry and complain that the family had been cut off food. The whole family was about to starve to death. There were a lot of people. The king must have heard of this and did the ridiculous thing that made us take the cottage on a large scale."

"What is a ridiculous thing? You are a woman who knows that you are talking nonsense. The king is kind to the people. Building a cottage is just an accompaniment. In fact, the king just wants to help those who are about to starve to death. Alas, I originally wanted to work hard for the king. Forget it, although my family is a little poor, I can still survive this winter by gritting my teeth."

"Hey, the king is so kind and kind, we cannot cause trouble. It's not that the family really can't survive. Let's give the opportunity to others."

Under the screening of the Wu Temple, it took only half a day to select the people in their own homes. Although there were occasional quarrels during the process, no major changes occurred, and no one came to him, the king, to complain.

This surprised Yao Yun, who was preparing to face the emergencies.

Are the people so simple?

Yao Yun was surprised. The first time he felt that experience was not useful. He thought that people were selfish and had the opportunity to save more food, how could the people give up?

But reality made him puzzled.

Wu Tong heard this and said with a smile: "King, everyone's neighbors, everyone knows what the harvest is today, and no one dares to do anything randomly. At that time, no one needs to take action from the king and Wu Temple, and the neighbors' saliva will make them feel ashamed."

Yao Yun thought, the world is small, and everyone looked up and saw that it was not good. In fact, they knew what kind of harvest was really bad this year. Even though the harvest was good, they said that the family had no food at home, so the neighbors would definitely not spare him.

Just like the keyboard warrior in his previous life could angrily scold others online, but in reality, he didn't have the courage, which involved cost issues.

Of course, some people must have been involved. Yao Yun and the second elder understood, but they did not investigate to the end. There was no fish when the water was clear. Each family had their own difficulties and was a miserable person.

On that day, the witch temple and the palace guards led the people to start a vigorous digging of cesspools. This was the first time in the world that digging cesspools and building a thatched cottage were so large. This scene was enough to be recorded in history!

Standing on the city wall, Yao Yun looked at the people who worked hard to dig cesspools with hoes. He was also quite excited. He remembered the limerick poem he heard when he was a child:

Standing on both sides of the Yellow River, holding confidential documents in hand, machine guns fired in front, and artillery fired in the back!

With a large number of cesspools and a large number of thatched houses were built, and a decree was issued that the law could not be defecated anywhere. In the future, when walking on Xidu Road, you would not often step on shit.

This is very important!
