Wu Xiaowu happily agreed. He finally felt that he had a chance to show off.
Li Taohua from Lijiazhai reported on the chickens she raised. Although Li Taohua has a beautiful name, she is actually a tough elder sister with extremely strong strength. Most big men would not dare to get close to her.
The chickens raised by Li Taohua are famous for their delicious taste. Of course, people in this era are reluctant to eat eggs, let alone chickens.
After being entrusted with the important task by Li Zhao, Li Taohua did her duty wholeheartedly, even hatching a batch of chicks while ensuring that the demand for eggs in Li Zhao's camp was sufficient.
You know, besides rice and vegetables, which are the most consumed in the camp, eggs are the most horribly consumed.
Therefore, Li Taohua was rewarded several times by Li Zhao in public.
Her husband now forms a husband-and-wife team with her, specializing in helping Li Zhao raise chickens. Chickens, ducks and geese all have one characteristic, that is, they poop a lot and are very smelly, so how to deal with it is also a big problem.
Because no one has enough to eat, and every household has not developed the habit of flocking chickens, ducks and geese, they don't know that the feces of chickens, ducks and geese are also famous for fertilizer.
In this era where farming is the main focus, in this era when everyone is starving to death and running out of food, who would care about chicken and duck feces?
Even if farmers make a living by farming and domesticating poultry and livestock, there are some things they really don’t know.
The main reason is that there is no chance to summarize the rules.
These days, those who can raise one or two chickens at home are definitely wealthy families.
People can only consider raising chickens, ducks and geese after they have fed themselves, because anyone who has raised them knows that these little things consume food, which is very distressing.
In Prince Li Zhao's palace, in addition to people eating the most, chickens, ducks and geese eat the most. Even though they are small, they really don't necessarily eat less than pigs.
Therefore, there is a lot of poop coming out.
"Your Majesty, this shit problem..."
Because it is intensively farmed, the problem of feces must be taken seriously.
Otherwise, it is easy for bacteria to breed and cause chicken plague.
Once the chicken plague breaks out, these chickens will most likely be destroyed, and people will not be able to eat them, so they will only be wasted.
Zhao Erniu from Zhaojiatun mainly raises ducks and geese. She is a relatively shy girl and does not know how to deal with duck and goose poop.
Areas where chickens, ducks and geese are domesticated have become the hardest hit areas.
It really stinks.
"Have you seen the newly opened wasteland outside?" Li Zhao pointed and said: "From today on, all the chicken and duck feces will be transported there. They must be cleaned up. From now on, the newly opened wasteland will be used Chicken shit and duck shit are used to raise it.”
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked. This thing can also raise land?
As we all know, chicken droppings and duck droppings are a high-quality fertilizer with high fertilizer efficiency and low cost.
Chicken manure contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are the main ingredients of fertilizers in the future.
If chicken manure and duck manure are often used, a piece of land can be improved very well. The soil will not harden, but will become soft and fertile, and it can also increase the fertilizer and water retention capacity of the soil.
In the later era, countless experimental data have been used to prove that flowers, trees and plants that use chicken dung and duck dung are more vigorous than those that do not use it, and they have many branches, large leaves, large flowers, and a long flowering period.
These are all advantages.
"You heard me right!" Li Zhao patted his chest and said, "Everyone has remembered, don't spread chicken and duck excrement directly. Don't we always burn fire soil regularly to make compost? From now on, chicken excrement and duck excrement will be used for composting. Just process it in a centralized manner, just like our excrement."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.
If it had this effect, chicken feces and duck feces would not be waste but treasures.
What everyone is most worried about now is that the new fields will not have enough nutrients and fertilizer, which will greatly affect next year's harvest.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with our pig manure?" Yang Daqiang also wanted to ask this question.
Everyone looked at Li Zhao curiously.
In fact, pig manure will smell bad if it accumulates for a long time. The key is that if you raise too many pigs, the disposal of pig manure will be a big trouble.
Since the prince is so capable of utilizing wastes such as chicken and duck feces, what about pig manure?
Li Zhao had been making money before and had never paid attention to these issues. It was not until they raised them today that they realized that these issues could no longer be ignored and needed to be paid enough attention to.
There is an old saying that Li Zhao still remembers: the more grain, the more pigs, the more pigs, the more dung, the more dung, the more grain!
This sentence means an agricultural cycle, which is the same as the internal economic cycle of Li Zhao's money.
Pig manure has a soft texture and contains more organic matter and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium components, but it decomposes slowly and will be used as fertilizer in the future.
By processing pig manure, waste can be turned into treasure.
For example: drying and turning into feed.
Yes, this is real, and it is feasible and usable.
Secondly, cattle, sheep and chickens can be fed in a small proportion. Of course, pigs can also be fed.
Overall, the effect is biased.
The third function is to produce biogas. Before natural gas became popular, biogas was a very popular fuel.
The fourth function is one that Li Zhao is very familiar with. It is most suitable for feeding fish, especially silver carp.
Li Zhao can know the specific operating procedures and ensure that the fish is very plump.
In the post-modern era, many fish ponds are actually used this way.
However, many people have now moved away from rural areas and adapted to urban life, and many things are out of reach.
Of course, the fifth function is what Li Zhao will talk about next, which is to raise maggots and earthworms.
Although Li Zhao is indeed not short of food now, with the increase in chickens, ducks and geese, he cannot withstand this terrible consumption.
Therefore, chickens, ducks and geese have to get something else to eat.
Both maggots and earthworms are extremely nutritious.
It just so happens that chickens, ducks and geese all like to eat it.
If pig manure can be used well, a series of production chains can be spawned, which can provide a large number of livelihood jobs for villagers who do not have many jobs.
Li Zhao had no intention of walking on one leg from the beginning. He had to focus on agriculture and commerce.
This is the most important path in his internal economic cycle.
"I'm going to write a charter now!" Li Zhao picked up the pen and said nothing nonsense.
Everything must have a plan and a charter so that it won’t be too difficult for the people below to implement it.
"Next, our pig manure is mainly used for two purposes." Li Zhaodao: "First, send people to count the fish ponds. If there is not enough, then we will dig it ourselves, choose a remote place, not in a crowded place. Where there are many, the pond can be bigger, Uncle Zhong, you can arrange this."
"yes!"
"Second, I will build a row of factory buildings in the shady area at the foot of the mountain. Although this work is a bit disgusting, if anyone is willing, the wages are negotiable. I need someone to raise maggots and earthworms."
