Burn the wasteland.

Before burning the wasteland, clean up the fire belt. Under Xu Ming's arrangement, although these women's soldiers were not strong enough, they were not inefficient and quickly lit up flames.

The flames burned in the wind on the weeds, and wherever they passed, there was a piece of coke, flying into the sky.

"start!"

When the burning was over, it was almost dusk, but Xu Ming did not have the slightest idea of ​​doing it tomorrow. Time was tight and the task was heavy. Although Ye Fan did not give any punishment measures, he did not dare to be careless in the face of the request of the real strong man.

No matter how much you can complete in the end, you must do your best.

Unless it is completely dark and cannot do it, then keep doing it.

A shout came from his old body, and the seventy-five women's deputies who had already been arranged for specific work immediately started.

Including the two big yellow oxes originally owned by the Black Mole Village, a total of seven big yellow oxes were already placed in front of the plow stick. Seven people in front, one of them was holding a cow and one of them held a plow stick behind. The big yellow ox was dull and silent but extremely powerful, and pulled the plow stick and walked forward steadily on the burned wasteland.

Wherever you pass, the black soil is turned open, revealing various stones, grass roots and other things inside.

Behind them, five people followed them to clean up these debris. If they wanted to cultivate them carefully, these things must not be left in the field.

The other people's operations were similar, but there was no big yellow cow pulling the plow stick, so they could only turn the ground manually with the farm tools in their hands, and then someone cleaned it up behind them.

It can be seen that Xu Ming’s arrangement is still very reasonable. Just compared with the work of plowing oxen, the group of people who turned the ground manually were really inefficient.

"Working hard, the land must be ridges?"

Ye Fan didn't know how to open up wasteland. Looking at the mess of the wasteland that was turned over in front of him, he asked Xu Ming at all.

"Your Majesty Huitian Emperor, wasteland is different from the cultivated farmland. The soil is coarse and cannot be formed into ridges at once. It must be repeatedly beaten to make the soil delicate, so that it is suitable for cultivation. Even if it is suitable for cultivation, such land is relatively abundant, and the yield in the first year may not be good. It must be planted for another year or two before the land is mature and can become a real fertile land."

Although Xu Ming is a small landlord, he is not the kind of master who sits and enjoys his achievements on TV. His land is planted by his own strength and brain, so he has a lot of experience in this land.

"In addition to these, water is the key. The reason why the young man chose this place to reclaim wasteland was because there is a small river not far from this wasteland, which is convenient for irrigation. Although the wasteland in the other direction is also good, it is really inconvenient for irrigation. If you encounter such a severe drought this year, you may not have any harvest."

"Lord Tiandi has seen the existing crops in our Heimai Village. It is because the old man used the river water to save some seedlings and grow. Otherwise, our Heimai Village might have become a refugee."

When it comes to farming, Xu Ming talked too much, and his old face showed pride, emotion, and helplessness.

Listening quietly, Ye Fan would not point fingers at the major he didn't understand. Listening to Xu Ming's narration, he had a deeper understanding of the difficulties of the survival of farmers in this era.

There is no BUG level existence of hybrid rice, ordinary crops, ordinary farming, no scientific irrigation, no pesticides... In this way, how much harvest can be achieved in a year?

If you remove the taxes of exploitation from layers of exploitation, it is already a good harvest.

"Xu Ming, are you fertilizing your land?" Ye Fan suddenly asked.

He doesn't understand other specific things and will not command randomly, but Ye Fan knows that fertilizers have a great promoting effect on ground power, which is beyond doubt.

"The land that is cultivated carefully requires base fertilizer, but the base fertilizer is rare and the quantity is limited." Shaking his head, Xu Ming said helplessly, "So most of the land is not fertilized."

"Basic fertilizer is rare?"

Frowning, Ye Fan asked, "What are your base fertilizers made of?"

"Your Majesty Huitian Emperor, the base fertilizer in our village is basically mixed with livestock manure and some dead grass and leaves. It is buried in soil in winter, and then it is scattered into the fields in spring. The fertile fields with the base fertilizer are applied, and the harvest is more than three times that of the remaining fields." After looking at Ye Fan, Xu Ming whispered, "But your Majesty, you have also seen that there are very few livestock and poultry in the village, and there are naturally very few materials that can be used as base fertilizer, and the situation in other nearby villages is also the same."

Are you so poor that you don’t even have a poo?

With a sigh in his heart, Ye Fan was really speechless about this era.

"First, human feces can also be used as base fertilizer; second, I will find a way for you to make the raw materials for base fertilizer."

In this era, there is no possibility of chemical fertilizers, and the base fertilizer only comes from excrement. I want to get so much excrement... Ye Fan immediately thought of the county town where a large number of people live, the second thought of raising a large number of livestock, and the third thought of the grassland.

The first idea is that there are specialized things in the county town. Unlike animal feces, according to Xu Ming's meaning, the rejection of human feces in this era is not used as base fertilizer, which is also considered a psychological cleanliness obsessiveness. In this way, the night fragrance in the county town has great potential. Find the corresponding person and give some money to easily solve these dirty things that seem useless and dirty to them.

The second idea is that poultry and livestock must be added. For agricultural society, livestock is essential and an extremely important link. It is just that tailoring clothes is not enough for people to eat, and it is not a matter of overnight development to raise a large amount of livestock.

The third idea is that there are many cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland. Grazing for a living, and subdue one, you can not only obtain a large amount of livestock, but also avoid the burden of raising yourself. You can also obtain basic fertilizer and meat supplies. Ye Fan feels that there is great potential.

"Is human feces... OK?"

When the thing he pulled was eaten into his mouth, Xu Ming couldn't help but shake his head and instinctively repelled.

"Can!"

Ye Fan nodded, "Isn't you asking you to eat the things you pulled out directly? What's the problem?"

"And, what's the difference between using livestock manure and human manure?"

"But..."

"No, but!"

Ye Fan would not explain this kind of solidified thinking that has been over the years. Compared with explanation, direct command and then let them see results is the best.

To some extent, this is also a benefit of feudal centralization. A absolute order must not be violated!

If it is democracy, one is your opinion, I will have an idea, and no one can convince anyone. It is easy to be humble.

"Oh well!"

A little reluctant, but Ye Fan was determined. What could Xu Ming do?

He stayed in Heimai Village for a while, until it was completely dark and the Detachment of Women in the fields stopped working, and Ye Fan left.

First, he teleported to find Zhang Yi and took Zhang Yi back to the imperial capital, which happened to be cooking dinner.

"Yuanman, after the people of Heimai Village have eaten their fill, they will give each of them a little corn. I have already taken Heimai Village as my subordinates. In the future, you will be the people of God. Heimai Village is now open for land and is all women. It is very tiring. They have to eat enough." Before the meal, Ye Fan said to Xu Ying, who had recovered from Yuedu and started working.

"Here!"

Nodded slightly, Xu Ying suddenly said, "Your Majesty, don't you need to move the people from the Black Mole Village to us?"

"No need, development needs to be done step by step. It is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, don't worry!"
