Chapter 18 The Village

There are three elements for farming: water, fertilizer, and temperature. The temperature of these three factors depends on the weather. As for water, we don’t know about it in other places. But in the Xiaqiu area, there is basically no need to dig ditches. The annual rainfall is enough for the crops to survive.

The manure made by Chen Mo is different from the simple fertilizers in the past. In good years, the yield can be increased by 20 to 30%, and even up to 40% at a time, which is better than the harvest in fertile fields.

Ever since Chen Mo started helping others make fertilizer, Chen Mo could clearly feel that in this small family of dozens of people, everyone's attitude towards his mother and son had improved a lot, and no one called him "dung man" anymore.

Chen Mo kept an eye on it. Although he led everyone to make fertilizer, he had a clear division of labor. He organized more than a dozen children to work every day, but they were all busy in their own way. The weight and preparation of the fertilizer were all prepared by Chen Mo himself.

Chen Mo also had some worries in his heart.

For him, manure is a resource that has never been monetized. Now, although it has begun to help him gain a certain status in the industry, it has not reached his expectations. Therefore, although he helps everyone make manure, he has not prepared the core ingredients of the manure.

The method is well hidden so that no one can notice it.

He felt that if he could squeeze into an official career in the future, this manure might be a magic weapon in his hand, so he did not want to tell everyone the complete method of making manure now. The most important thing is that his mother also supported this idea.

"Brother Ergou, are you practicing martial arts?" Aduo came in carrying a basket of excrement. Many of them were wet and needed to be dried in the sun. It had been raining for days during this period. It finally cleared up today, which was a rare occasion.

good opportunity.

"Yes." Chen Mo nodded, and had been leading a group of children to do things for half a month. In addition, his mind was already more mature than ordinary children, so he seemed to be somewhat presentable at the moment. He stood still and responded in a moderate tone.

"Brother Ergou." Aduo asked carefully while spreading the excrement on the ground to dry, "Can you teach me?"

Chen Mo was startled when he heard this and said, "I have to ask Uncle Wang, or you can just go to Uncle Wang and teach you."

"No way~" When Uncle Wang was mentioned, Ado showed a bit of fear in his eyes. Unlike other hunters, although Uncle Wang is the most powerful here, he is also the most ferocious. Ordinary children would want to cry when they see him.

Uncle Wang seems to be the only one who communicates normally with Chen Mo.

"Uncle Wang went out hunting, and I haven't seen him for a while. When he comes back from hunting, I will ask him." Chen Mo thought for a while and said, Uncle Wang taught him stick skills last time, and he was planning to teach him archery the next day.

But someone seemed to be looking for him and wanted to buy his tiger meat, so Uncle Wang and Uncle Cai took the tiger carcass to Xia Qiu the next day, and they haven't come back yet.

"Okay!" Aduo said happily after hearing this. He actually also wanted to be a hunter. Although hunters don't farm, their families are actually pretty good, and they can eat meat every now and then. So many children want to learn some skills, and in the future

Become a hunter too. Even if Chen Mo's manure can indeed help everyone increase their harvest, for these children, no one wants to be the second manure man.

Chen Mo could probably understand what A Duo was thinking. In fact, it was not just A Duo, but other friends as well. Including him, he had never wanted to be a scumbag for the rest of his life, making himself stink every day.

"I'll go to Aweng's house in Lizheng to apply fertilizer in the afternoon." Chen Mo put away the pile and moved his body to continue practicing the stick technique. He had already practiced the stick technique well, at least he wouldn't throw the stick away as often as before.

"Brother Ergou, Aweng didn't ask us to help, so why should we go to Aweng's place?" Little A'duo was a little dissatisfied with Chen Mo's decision. Others had to give chickens or help with work, etc., but Li Zheng didn't have anything.

No, they still had to rush to help, which made him very unhappy and a little unbalanced.

"I'm not sure what my mother said." Chen Mo scratched his head. He didn't quite understand why he was doing this. He thought for a while and said, "But Aweng is old and his children and grandchildren are not around. There are only a few in the family."

Women, it’s time for us to go and help, Aweng takes good care of us on weekdays.”

"Oh~"

In fact, compared to the surrounding villages, Chen Mo and the others here are pretty good. Although Li Zheng has not done much, he does not exploit the villagers in every possible way like Li Zheng in other places. Instead, he treats the villagers well. In this way

Li Zheng is a very happy thing for the people living here.

In the afternoon, when Chen Mo took A Duo and a group of other children to pull the prepared manure to Li Zheng's side, Li Zheng was sitting on a tree stump in the field, drinking water, enjoying the coolness, and looking at his two daughters-in-law.

After arranging for the tenant farmers to weed, they saw Chen Mo and a group of people coming over and said with a smile: "What are you little brats doing here?"

"Ah Weng, we are here to help you water the fertilizer." Chen Mo came to Li Zheng and said.

"No need, I have a lot of people here." Li Zheng didn't care about this. His family had thirty acres of paddy fields alone and hundreds of acres of thin fields. How could he care about this? The last time the Taiping Sect came to collect grain, he helped.

It was a lot to carry down, otherwise the villagers would probably start a fight with the Taiping Religion based on the number of people they spoke to at that time.

"Of course we don't need these paddy fields. Let's get some of those thin paddy fields. After applying fertilizer, the harvest will be no less than that of the paddy fields. My mother said this is everyone's wish." Chen Mo came to Li Zheng and waved to a group of friends with a smile.

Wave.

"You have some ideas!" Li Zheng looked at the little brats who started working under Chen Mo's command with some surprise, and said with a smile: "How can you manage these brats to be so obedient?"

"I promised to ask Uncle Wang for them and let me teach them martial arts." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"You have only studied for a few days, and you can teach them?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Mo funny when he heard this. He heard from Lao Wang that Chen Mo was quite talented and might be the best hunter in their area in the future.

It's only been more than a month since I woke up, so what can I teach others about?

"Whatever I practice, they just follow." Chen Mo has been thinking about how to teach people since A Duo asked him, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Not bad." Li Zheng nodded. Whether he can teach him or not is secondary. The most important thing is that Chen Mo can establish prestige among these children. After ten or twenty years, he may be recommended to be the director of the pavilion.

Although township, pavilion and li are usually mentioned together, pavilions are different from townships. The pavilion chief is responsible for maintaining the security of the township regardless of people's livelihood. Moreover, there are also pavilion chiefs in places like government offices and city gates. If it is a large

In some cities, every street will have a pavilion chief. If a pavilion chief can be found in his hometown, he will be able to speak with some weight in the villages of Xiaqiu. Unfortunately, Lao Wang looks a bit fierce, and he is somewhat in conflict with the government officials.

, otherwise he would have a chance to become a pavilion chief.

Chen Mo naturally didn't know that Li Zheng was thinking about these things. After sitting for a while, he looked at Li Zheng and hesitated: "Aweng, I heard someone said that the Taiping Sect will come after the autumn harvest?"

"Alas~" Li Zheng nodded and sighed: "I know what you want to say, but don't make trouble. We can't afford to offend those people."
