Farming is what Qixun wants to do most now.

In the past, she farmed in space. It was all mechanized farming, and she didn't actually grow much cereals. It was only a few acres of land. It was mainly for her family's food. At the same time, it was also a little bit of her interest. After all,

Among those who grow flowers, who doesn’t have a pastoral dream?

Her space is probably her spiritual secluded home.

Although there are machines, it is still very tiring, but that kind of tiredness can bring spiritual pleasure, so I don't feel tired.

But these nearly twenty days of land reclamation were nothing more than plowing and deep plowing of the land. Even with so much labor, everyone was so tired that they were almost in shape. This was despite her family providing a large amount of meat and bone soup every day to replenish energy.

.

In fact, how many people can afford to eat meat while farming?

This shows how hard it is for farmers to cultivate the land.

These are two completely different farming methods from the mechanized planting of later generations.

The hard work is second to none, the yield per mu is really too low.

If she wanted to improve seeds and develop new farm tools before, she just wanted to do something, but her desire was not that urgent. After this time, she really regarded the experimental fields as the most important thing in her life.

As long as you live, you should always do something.

And what else in this world is bigger than feeding the world?

Practicing immortality may be an interest or motivation, but that is really not the purpose and meaning of life.

After the land was cleared, the whole family heaved a sigh of relief. They had never farmed before. Seeing how hard it was to clear the land, actually they felt a little emotional inside.

In fact, the family is used to Qixun being silent for a few days from time to time, but this time she stayed silent for a bit long.

Even Brother Monkey, who has the biggest heart, couldn't help but care: "Xiao Xun, what's happened to you these two days?"

Every night when practicing, she felt a little absent-minded.

This is very bad.

Qixun looked confused: "What's wrong?"

"Absent-minded! I haven't seen you smile for several days, and you didn't even respond to Gong Yuchun's approach to you. What are you thinking about? If you have any embarrassing things, please tell me, and I am the Monkey King.

Something that can’t be solved?”

To be honest, the whole family is not used to it.

"Do you know how to farm?"

Brother Monkey:......

After successfully choking Brother Monkey once, and seeing him staring at the back of his head, Qixun would slap him at any time. Qixun immediately said: "Second brother, I am thinking about how to solve the problem of fertilizing these hundreds of acres of land. The soil fertility is insufficient.

, whatever you plant is a question of yield. Although potatoes and sweet potatoes do not have high requirements for soil fertilizer, it does not mean that fertilizer is not needed. If you want good yield, the fertility of the land is an unavoidable issue."

It's okay to fight Brother Monkey, but he really doesn't understand farming.

When Xiao Xun said this, he could only scratch his head: "Farming is really troublesome."

It took nearly twenty days to open up wasteland, and the whole family was busy with it, but it turned out that this was just the beginning.

"It's a pity that my Huaguo Mountain is gone. Otherwise, if I let my monkey children go pee alone, everything would be solved."

Qixun:......

Such a wonderful idea, second brother, you are still the best at showing off!

But what you said makes so much sense that I can't even refute it.

But these words also made Qixun's eyes light up. The mulch in the forest is actually the most fertile, and it is perfect for farming.

But Qixun immediately shook his head.

With her and Brother Monkey here, it was not difficult for the two of them to use the methods of practitioners to create rotten soil that could cover hundreds of acres of land.

But this doesn't make any sense.

Because this operation has no promotion value, it cannot fundamentally solve farmers’ land fertility problems.

So you have to think about the accumulation of fertilizer suitable for promotion.

It is better to set aside some fields, plant green manure grass for a season, and then plow deeply. At least these fields can be planted with a crop of late corn or late soybeans, and planting soybeans can also nourish the land.

Qixun remembered that she had alfalfa, wildflower, and sage seeds left in her space. She planned to plant dozens of acres. Their location was more southerly, with four distinct seasons and a pleasant climate. She wanted to plant it now.

These three types of green manure can also be grown.

Also plant some local green manure grass called fish scale leaf to see which one has better fertility and shorter growth cycle, and then we will promote which one.

Using green manure to cultivate the land is only one aspect. The most important thing is to accumulate farmyard manure. Weeds, plant ash, livestock manure, and even bones are all raw materials for farmyard manure.

She discovered that Daxia's agriculture is far behind compared to the developed industry. Although farmers in Daxia farm, they also use fertilizers, but they really only use the most primitive method of using livestock manure, and even simple compost

None. She didn't know if it was like this throughout Daxia or just here, but she asked the old people in the village and found that at least no one in Linjiang used composting to solve the land fertility problem.

The yield of the land almost really depends on the weather.

Daxia's land system is actually extremely strict. In addition to eliminating the harshness of the land annexation system, there are also strict regulations on land under hundreds of names. It must be planted and is not allowed to be abandoned. Once any waste of land is discovered, it will be punished after verification.

Severe punishment will be imposed, and in severe cases, Yongye Tian may be taken back.

Daxia's territory is too vast, with too much farmland per capita. With such backward productivity and limited manpower, it would be very tiring to plant all the land, and there is really no intention to cultivate it intensively.

Therefore, if you want to improve land utilization, increasing productivity is almost the only option. Only when productivity is improved can the overall environment of agricultural production be improved. At that time, people who have spare time will naturally think about how to cultivate the land well.

problem, rather than the original problem of how to finish planting the land.

Using green manure and stacking farmyard manure is the best method Qixun can choose for the time being.

After thinking clearly, Qixun cheered up and said, "Come on, second brother, let's ask someone to help dig the septic tank."

Brother Monkey feels like he has a headache. Why do you think it's happening all at once?

These are the only people in our family...Besides, the construction of the new house has started in the past two days. You designed the drainage and sewage system of the house. It already includes sewers. Why did you dig a septic tank?

If I had known earlier I would have ignored you.

But what can my sister do?

Having said that, his Xiaoxun has never done anything useless. No matter how hard she tries, she will always be able to do something practical in the end.

Thinking of this, Brother Monkey nodded and didn't bother to ask her why she was digging a pond: "Okay, I'll go find someone right now."

Qixun laughed happily: "Second brother, you are so kind. I dug the pit to make compost. The wasteland our family has opened is too thin, so we can't plant anything. Let's plant some green manure first. If it grows well, we should be able to grow it."

Planting last summer, maybe we can harvest a crop of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes this year. But green manure alone is not enough, we also need compost."
