"Who gave them the confidence that this was not an alternative way of fertilizing?" Hualin expressed contempt for the ideas of these barbarians. The shift from natural fertilizers to artificial fertilizers started with the use of guano ore, and this time he also intended to He chose some stones rich in minerals, but the reason why he did not crush these stones and spread them on the fields like fertilizer was not because he cherished the manpower of the barbarians (on the contrary, carrying the whole stone increased the labor of the barbarians. Strength) but the choice was made taking into account the natural environment of Yishan.
The temperature in Yishan is on the low side, even compared to Shuanghe County. This environment is very unfavorable to the potato crops he planned to plant, forcing him to adopt an ancient method of heating the fields. , well, it means putting stones into the field.
During the day, these stones can absorb more of the sun's heat than the soil, and at night, they will also release heat faster than the soil. Each stone is like a small heat accumulator, which can regulate the temperature of the soil. Other measures to warm the land, such as digging ditches around the fields to fill with hot water, were too costly - so he built a small area next to the salt-boiling stove.
When sunlight and rain cause those stones to crack, the minerals they contain will slowly be released into the fields, acting as supplementary fertilizers. These are ancient technologies that were once used in mountainous agriculture in the Jia Luo World, and were given by Hualin. He moved to the Yishan Mountains as they were, because what he planned to plant in these terraced fields was not the grains that the Yi people were used to growing, but potatoes.
The yield of potatoes is high and the requirements for land are low. The most important thing is that potatoes can be eaten by humans without waiting for harvest. The vines and leaves can be chopped into pieces not only for pigs, but also for humans. The disadvantage is that it is not tolerant to low temperatures. The temperature at which grains can grow may freeze them to death.
The barbarians must not have thought that what was waiting for them after the hard work would be the pig food that they had worked so hard to dig and harvest. Of course, a wizard who had not joined any human rights association would have no idea about feeding his captives with pig food. My conscience won't hurt at all.
While boiling the salt, he had already prepared potato seeds on the small seedling land next to the kitchen house. They could be planted as soon as the land was cleared.
At this time, we can see the benefits of so much brutal training and preparation. Before the switch, the barbarians, who were incredibly careless in farming, could not complete the delicate task of burying potato seedlings into neat little pits. Sowing seeds in the fields is the only farm work they can imagine. Now they are doing it quickly and well, for fear that a slight oversight will send the monster behind them to some other terrible labor hell.
"Labor creates humans." The former wizard who admired their work boasted. In his opinion, the barbarians were almost degenerating into beasts. Thanks to him, they are now more diverse.
Xiao Qianqiu ignored his fallacies. His curiosity about land preparation soon came to light when he realized that Hualin really was preparing the land for farming and then disappeared. What caught his attention was the potato seeds prepared by Hualin. Planting in blocks, using hot water to heat up the greenhouse to promote seedlings, mixing fertilizers, cutting vines and transplanting after the plants have grown strong, and a series of other technologies that he had never seen before. He quickly thought that if What will be the results of using these techniques on other plants, especially those that are difficult to flower and reproduce?
"It's useless." The former wizard commented that according to the distribution method of the Xiao family, far more was wasted than used on the right path. Even though he stayed on Qiyun Peak for such a short period of time, he had learned from various The channel saw an astonishing waste. A large amount of elixirs and other things were allocated to creatures with only so-called relatives, and a large amount was consumed in so-called "diplomacy." Not only did it not have any effect on winning over , but made other families take the resources they were allocated for granted, and even demanded more. When their demands were not met, they colluded with the Death Worship Cult, which ultimately led to the subversion of the Xiao family.
However, it is difficult for the Xiao family to find another way. It has tried its best to purify itself under Xiao Qianqiu's advice. Any family with insufficient qualifications and insufficient cultivation will be gradually eliminated until one day they are driven off Qiyun Peak and reduced to Mortals, this iron law allows the family to try to concentrate resources on potential members rather than direct members. It is difficult to go further. The Xiao family is ultimately a family connected by blood. If Hualin is If such outsiders are placed above close relatives, they may fall apart the next day. Just like Xiao Yinyun said, if there is no guarantee that the Xiao family is the Xiao family of the Xiao family, then no matter how prosperous it is, what does it have to do with the Xiao family?
The one who can no longer care about bloodline is not the family, but the academy or sect.
For example, Yunxi Sect.
Hualin's next goal is there, provided that the Yunxi Sect still exists when he goes there.
