Chapter 2095 Free Labor

After hearing this, Gu Jinli still gave him a glove made of three layers of linen: "Put it on, don't get your leather gloves dirty."

"Okay." Qin Sanlang took the linen gloves and put them on, led the horse and walked towards the big pit of fermented fertilizer.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Mo Shan’s wife and the others are so jealous. Your Excellency and Madam are so affectionate. Come and spread some fertilizer on the fields to repay your favor... But why do you not have any children if you are so lenient?

We have been married for more than a year, and we are not pregnant yet. Is there something wrong with my wife and she can't give birth?

God, that’s too miserable!

No, no, for the sake of my wife, I still have to give her a hint, so that if she really can't give birth, she can take a concubine for you as soon as possible, lest you, after being promoted to a general, will divorce her directly and marry the daughter of a high official.

thump!

Just as Mo Shan's wife was trying to get excited, her foot fell off and she fell crookedly into the wet mud. Half of her body was dirty.

"Wow, you idiot, you made my clothes stink!" Mo Mianhua was hugged by Mo Shan's wife and fell into the mud with her. He was thrown out, took a mouthful of mud, and burst into tears with anger.

"Isn't it just a mouthful of mud? There's nothing to cry about. The victims who fled the famine are still grabbing the land ashes to eat. Now you can eat it without grabbing it. It's time to laugh." Moshan's wife stood up and patted the dirt on her body. , picked up Mo Mianmian, squeezed the dirt out of her mouth with his hands, and gave her a sip of water: "Sushikou."

Mo Mianmian cried and rinsed his mouth.

Gu Jinli looked back at them and said, "Use some insect attractant on Cotton to prevent insects from getting sick in the soil!"

"Yes, let's give it to her." Mo Shan's wife didn't want to use medicine on Mo Mianmian, because the open space at the health center was used to attract insects every day, and no insects had ever been lured out. It can be seen that the poisonous insects were all attracted. It was blocked in the poisonous insect ditch and did not crawl over here.

But since Gu Jinli gave orders, she would obey them... I don't know since when, the people in the guardhouse seemed to have implemented Gu Jinli's orders as military orders.

Maybe it's because Gu Jinli is cruel and will be punished if he doesn't listen to her.

Maybe it's because Gu Jinli is right every time and can make everyone rich, so everyone is willing to listen to her.

"This is fermented fertilizer." Qin Sanlang looked at a large pit beside the field ridge. It was full of something dark, like mud with water added: "It looks like pond mud fertilizer."

But there are few ponds in the northwest, so it is impossible to get so much pond mud fertilizer.

"But it's made of animal dung?" Qin Sanlang asked.

When they were in Dafeng Village, they also used animal manure, night incense, and hay to fertilize.

Gu Jinli said: "I added a little bit, but not much. This fermented fertilizer is mainly made from dead leaves in the mountains, and fermented with manure, soil and sour juice."

Qin Sanlang was surprised: "It's plant fertilizer fermented with dead leaves."

Gu Jinli nodded: "There are a lot of fallen leaves and vines in the mountains. Let the children pick them up, scald them with boiling water, add other things to ferment together, and you will have a good batch in ten days and a half." of fertilizer.”

He added: "This kind of fertilizer is similar to the manure we fermented in Dafeng Village. The only difference is that the main raw material of this fermented fertilizer is dead leaves, which does not consume much manure. It also adds special acidic juice that has been prepared to speed up fermentation." The speed of fermentation.”

After hearing this, Qin Sanlang said very proudly: "My little fish is so smart."

The land in the northwest is thin, so if you want the land to be fertile, you have to fertilize it. But nowadays, manure is used. There are few people in this land, and there is not that much manure. It is not possible to use wheat straw to fertilize.

Horses are raised here in the northwest.

Horses are much more valuable than people. Every year, new wheat straw, new sorghum stalks, and wild fodder must be collected and chopped into pieces for the horses to eat. There is no extra fodder for fertilization.

As for the fertile leaves…

“In the past, some people used leaves to fertilize, but there were insects in the fertilized fertilizer. After it was spread into the ground, all the good wheat was infected with insects, and even the roots were eaten away. After that, no one dared to use leaves to fertilize. "

Gu Jinli said: "So the collected leaves must be soaked in boiling water to kill the insect eggs, and then the insecticide juice can be added before they can be fermented to make fertilizer. This is how I made this batch of fermented fertilizer. You don't have to worry. There will be bugs.”

When she was growing medicinal materials in her previous life, she also made fertilizer herself. She knew that when making green manure, insects must be killed first, and the insect eggs on the grass leaves should be killed before fermentation. Otherwise, the eggs would harm the medicinal materials.

Qin Sanlang looked at her and said seriously: "The fertilizer made by Xiaoyu must be good. If something goes wrong, I will take care of it. Xiaoyu can rest assured."

Gu Jinli laughed when he heard this: "What are you talking about? The guard station is going to deliver food to the camp. If the crops are damaged and no food can grow, will you carry it with your head?"

As he spoke, he looked at his face and said, "It would be such a pity for such a good-looking guy to lose his head, and I wouldn't be able to bear it."

Qin Sanlang's ears turned red when he heard this, but he was very happy in his heart. He liked Xiaoyu praising him in front of outsiders.

Seeing that his ears were red again, Gu Jinli deliberately raised his hand to touch his ears. Qin Sanlang was startled and his face turned red, but he seriously grabbed her offending hand and held it in his palm...

Moshan's wife felt like she was going blind. Why, why did she risk her life to get this fertilizing job?

If she had known that the adults would come back, if she had known that they could be affectionate and affectionate in the fields, she would not have taken this job of showing her face, it hurt her eyes!

After a while, she thought of her man, but as she thought about it, her face became speechless... Forget it, that bastard had better not come back and be an eyesore, and work hard to earn credit by fighting the bandits in the Du Chong ditch.

Gu Jinli: "Sister-in-law Wang, pour three loads of fertilizer into one acre of land. Today we watered the land at the foot of the mountain. Tomorrow we will go outside the guardhouse to pour fertilizer."

"Hey, I'll take someone to pour fertilizer right now." Wang Dayou's wife responded and started working with her relatives.

Wang Dayou's wife and the others were responsible for applying fertilizer, and there was a woman next to the fertilizer pit who was responsible for fertilizing. The big guys cooperated in the work, and they moved very quickly. They finished applying the fermented fertilizer in a fertilizer pit in half an hour.

"Let's go to the next fertilizer pit!" Wang Dayou's wife greeted the women and walked to the next fertilizer pit.

There is a long stretch of land at the foot of the mountain, with a fertilizer pit every twenty meters, a total of twenty-three.

But these are still not enough.

"The land here is too thin and can't be compared with the land in the south. If you want the crops to grow well, you have to continue to apply heavy fertilizers." Gu Jinli looked at the land under his feet. These fields were very thin, unlike the land in the south. It is dark and muddy and can be used to grow rice: "There is not enough water. It is not the same thing to ask people to bring us water all the time. No one buys water for farming. I have already asked people to dig holes and build ponds." The water is stored, and when it rains, the rainwater will be stored and used to water the crops.”

It is not easy to cultivate the land well. There are many things to do.

but……

Gu Jinli winked at him and smiled: "We have a lot of free labor now, plowing the fields, digging holes to store water, etc. We have enough people to help."

Qin Sanlang smiled and said: "Xiaoyu refers to the people from Wushi Escort Agency."

Gu Jinli nodded: "Yes, it's them. Anyway, they haven't left yet. It's a good idea to let them help with the farming, lest they get too busy and something happens."
