Chapter 97 Breeding

It was already the end of September, and the temperature dropped sharply. The temperature here was much colder than in the same season in later generations. Wei Zhao had already put on a thick cotton robe.

The crops in the fields have been harvested, and even the straw has been taken home to use as fuel to cook for heating.

On the way from Weizhai to the village, the land is full of fertile land and the soil is good. A small river passes by, so it is the best harvested piece of land in the village.

Wei Zhao squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil to check, and found that the soil was very delicate and there was no gravel or anything. After looking around, the whole area was cleaned up very clean, not even many dead branches and leaves were seen.

He raised the dirt on his hand, clapped his hands and stood up. He happened to see the village chief Xu Wu walking past the path, and hurriedly called him: "Uncle Xu, where are you going?"

Xu Wu was walking when he heard Wei Zhao calling him, and found that he was in the field next to the road. He hurried over and said, "I didn't know how I went home yesterday. I'm going to go to your house to see it, but someone else is drinking and making trouble!"

After saying that, he found that Du Zixu was also there. Seeing that he was noble and powerful without anger, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Wei Zhao noticed his expression, thought of the majesty he felt when he first met Du Zixu, understood his feelings, turned the topic away, and smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, I was just going to find you, and I don't want to meet you here!"

"What's the matter? But what trouble did you encounter?"

As the head of a village, Xu Wu must be Liu Chunsheng if he envys the most now. Originally, Liu Chunsheng was the most popular family in the village, but because of his cleverness, he knew how to do things. He took Wei Zhao home early and ran for him all the time. This was why Wei Zhao was valued. Now the family of three has followed him to the city, which is something that everyone in the village envies!

If he could seize the opportunity to interact with Wei Zhao more now, wouldn’t he have a chance to use it?

Although it was not authentic, he still thought in his heart that Wei Zhao had encountered so that he could perform better.

Wei Zhao said: "It's not that I'm having a problem, but I want to ask you about some things with Uncle Xu."

Xu Wu quickly said, "What are you asking for advice or not? If you have something to do, just say it. I want to know, can you not tell you?"

Wei Zhao smiled, expressed his embarrassment, and said, "Whose family belongs to this land?"

Xu Wu replied without thinking: "This is the land of Mingzi's family." He paused and asked again: "Is there a problem with this land?"

Wei Zhao thought about it and then remembered that Mingzi was the father of the little Douzi. He knew it in his heart and asked, "What was planted here, and how did he plant it?"

Xu Wu said in confusion: "There are soybeans in this land. Like in previous years, spring planting and autumn harvesting are no different?"

Wei Zhao was stunned. He knew that he didn't understand what he meant, so he had to ask carefully about the details of farming.

"You mean, everyone farms means sow seeds in, then turn them over, hoe and weed, and wait for autumn harvest?"

"Yes, aren't you planting the same kind of farming?" Xu Wu was confused by his puzzled expression. He planted this kind of land for decades, and he has planted it like this since his father. Does Wei Zhao really don't understand?

Alas! It turns out that he is a child of a rich family. Just look at his uncle's demeanor, it is normal for Wei Zhao's family background to be not simple. He does not know grains and does not know about farming.

Wei Zhao sighed, they would only sow seeds in the year and ask for the land, but they never thought that the land would be barren. Over time, the harvest would naturally not be good. In addition, they rely entirely on the weather for a living, and once there is a slight abnormal weather, the harvest will be even more affected.

In this era, there was no chemical fertilizer. To fertilize the land, you can only use organic fertilizer. The so-called organic fertilizer is the manure of pigs, sheep and cattle. After fermentation, the land can be fertilized and supplemented the fertility of the land.

Wei Zhao knew that there were chickens and dogs in the village, and several families who had good families who had raised cattle, but he had never seen anyone raise other livestock.

In this era, the grain output was low and people didn’t have enough food, so no one raised livestock like pigs.

If no one raises livestock, there will naturally be no manure. Just relying on some wood ash, people usually pour it into their own vegetable fields, and there is no extra money to pour it into large fields.

After thinking about it, he said, "Uncle Xu, you can't farm like this. If you only farm and don't apply fertility, the land will not take long, and even if the weather is good, the harvest will not be improved."

"Fertilization?" Xu Wu frowned. He had never heard of what fertilization was like in his whole life. Can Wei Zhao, who is not divided into grains?

Wei Zhao told Xu Wu in detail about the fertilization. After hearing this, Xu Wu did not show any surprise. Instead, he smiled and said, "Even if this fertilization can really improve fertility, we can't find so much manure, alas!"

Wei Zhao said: "You can raise pigs and sheep. If you raise a few of them in the family, there will be a lot of manure in a year. When the next time you cultivate and put them into the fields, the harvest will increase a lot of that year. If you sell the pigs and mutton, you can get other income."

"It's not that easy to raise pigs and sheep. You have to buy breeding pigs and sheep first, and you have to prepare food for them. Nowadays, people can't eat enough, so where can I have surplus food!"

Wei Zhao naturally knew that it was not easy, but raising pigs and sheep has many benefits. Developing animal husbandry is a way to get rich quickly. If he wants people in Anping Village to live a good life, he must first teach them to get rich. If he just guards a few acres of land and digs food from the soil, he will be helpless once he encounters natural disasters.

"Uncle Xu, don't worry about this, I want you to help me with something."

When Xu Wu heard that he had something to explain, he was shocked and began to think about how to do good things and let him pay attention to them in the future.

"Please notify every household in the village, saying that I want to raise a batch of poultry and livestock in the village, but no one in my family can do this, so I ask the villagers to help raise them. Each family has ten sheep, two pigs, sheep and pigs, and I pay the money for building the shed. After the raising, I will charge as much as the price of the butcher shop. If anyone wants to raise chickens and ducks, I can also collect them. As for the feed needed for breeding, um, it is food. I will tell you slowly, it is not a non-food food."

When Xu Wu heard that this was the case, he was stunned. This... It is obvious that Wei Zhao is trying to help the villagers in the village in different ways, right?

"Oh, you said your child is talking nonsense. You are from our village. If something happens to you, we should help you. You said why are you doing these things now? How can everyone make you spend so much money!"

He thought in his heart that Wei Zhao was going to pay his respects to everyone to find him this time, so he hurriedly said he would stop him.

Wei Zhao smiled and knew that Xu Wu had misunderstood, and said, "Uncle Xu, you misunderstood. Although I have to pay for this, I am also for myself. I am planning to open a restaurant in the capital city. In the future, chicken, duck, pork and mutton must not be missing. If no one raises these livestock for me, once someone goes against me and monopolizes the meat in the market, then my restaurant will not be able to open it? I am asking everyone to raise these for me now, and I will not be afraid of someone monopolizing the meat in the future.

Another person also wants to find something for the villagers. The elderly and children can put sheep and beat pig grass. In spring, they can also put some manure into the field. You can definitely help me make several things."

When Xu Wu heard what he said, he thought something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He happily agreed and said that he would go to do this matter in the evening and ask each household.

Wei Zhao did say the truth, but it was mainly to give the villagers a greater source of income.

His restaurant is in the Fucheng City. If he really wants to find people to raise these livestock, he can find people to raise them near the Fucheng City. There is no need to raise them in Anping Village far away from the Fucheng City.

It is autumn now, and there is no rush to farm. He wants to help the villagers arrange the breeding matter while others are still in Anping Village. As for scientific planting methods, we will wait for the beginning of spring next year. At that time, everyone will definitely see profits in breeding. He then proposes that everyone listen to him and learn scientific planting methods, so that the effect will be better!

People in the village live on those fields, and the traditional planting method has been used for many years. If someone suddenly asks them to change the planting method, there will naturally be people who are confused and may not be able to implement it smoothly.

But if the breeding he proposed now makes the villagers profit, he will have some say and some people will trust him. Then he will propose planting methods, which will be easier to accept.
