"Clue?" Jiang Pengji curled her lips and said, "Of course I have a clue, but I don't have a specific plan yet."
Huang Song was slightly surprised. He knew Jiang Pengji's character. She meant what she said. She would not lie about such issues. If she said that there was a clue to solve the problem of insufficient fertility in the fields, then it was most likely true.
Without waiting for Huang Song to ask, Jiang Pengji found a mat and sat down. She frowned.
"I went to visit a few experienced farmers, and I found that their experiences could be found in the farming books." Jiang Pengji said, "In other words, the 'precious' experience they have accumulated by dealing with the fields for a lifetime is not very valuable. Apart from these old farmers, the other farmers have no idea how to farm. As a result, the harvest is different … "
Huang Song listened carefully. Feng Jue, who was beside him, also revealed a thoughtful expression. For a moment, he ignored the indescribable smell on Jiang Pengji.
"What's so strange about that?"
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "There's a big problem here. If everyone uses the old farmers' methods to farm, the harvest will naturally be better. The old farmers' farming experience is accumulated for a lifetime, but their methods are not a secret in the agricultural books. What does this mean? This means that the agricultural propaganda is not in place. I should set up a government office that specializes in farming! "
Huang Song did not understand the meaning of the word "propaganda." After all, Jiang Pengji's words were always so fashionable, but he could guess the meaning based on the context.
"Set up such a government office? What is it for? To teach people how to farm? "
Huang Song said with some disdain and confusion.
In people's stereotypical impression, the government was either civil or military. Which side could farming be related to? This was the duty of farmers. How could a scholar teach farmers how to farm? Even if they came from a farming family, their goal was to study and not farm.
Jiang Pengji chewed on her snacks and said, "Who said that only those who know how to farm are qualified to teach others how to farm? As long as this person is literate and has the ability to organize the experience in the agricultural books into books, with the experience of the old farmers, and then publicize the content to let more farmers know, won't the effect be seen? Everyone doesn't need to spend a lifetime dealing with the fields to accumulate that little bit of experience. With specific guidance, the harvest in the fields was naturally higher. Don't you think so, Bogao? "
Huang Song naturally had no way to refute. What Jiang Pengji said made sense, but —
"You're right, but what does this have to do with the lack of fertility you mentioned? Don't tell me that setting up a government office specializing in farming can solve the problem? " Logically speaking, Huang Song should not have intervened in these matters. After all, his identity was a taboo. However, he had forgotten this in a moment of carelessness. By the time Huang Song reacted, the words had already left his mouth. He could only maintain a normal expression and hold on.
Jiang Pengji said, "Of course it has a lot to do with it! That's why I said you're not a cultured person. You don't even know how to farm. "
Huang Song: "…"
He had so many things to say that he didn't know where to begin.
Is there a logical relationship between the two?
Jiang Pengji said, "Are you still not convinced?"
Huang Song said, "If you put it that way, I really can't accept it."
Although he wasn't very knowledgeable, he was still a talented student under a famous scholar. His level of education was unquestionable.
The "farmer" in front of him, dressed in brown and walking barefoot in the mud, actually mocked him for not being a cultured person?
Huang Song's rebuttal provoked a chorus of jeers from the five million viewers in the livestream.
Poor Taoist Sees Your Chrysanthemum Is Poisonous: Come, come, come. Let's guess how long the streamer will use to slap Huang Xiaosong in the face?
Toudu Feiqiu: Slap quickly!
Yingxiao Zui: Slap quickly!
Yangliu Xianyaozhi: Bet on slap quickly. The streamer's slap is always the freshest. She never stays overnight!
With the five million viewers cheering for her, Jiang Pengji naturally wouldn't let them down. A fresh slap quickly came out.
Jiang Pengji said, "You say that you're a cultured person. Then do you know that there's a saying in the Book of Poetry that goes, 'Damp wilt wilt, millet wilt wilt wilt'?"
Huang Song thought about it and nodded. "Of course I know."
"Doesn't this mean that rotten weeds can fertilize the fields?" Jiang Pengji curled her lips and continued, "Xun Zi also said, 'Covering the earth's surface, pulling weeds to grow grain, and fertilizing the fields with manure is a matter for farmers and commoners.' Doesn't this mean that human and animal manure can enrich the fertility of the land? The Book of Si Sheng also talked about related content. It talked about the wonders of manure and stable manure. From this, it can be seen that there are ways to increase fertility. It's just that ordinary people can't do it. You say that you're a cultured person. Don't you even know these things? "
Huang Song was speechless, but he didn't know how to refute.
It was true that he was a cultured person, but which cultured person would pay special attention to these things?
Huang Song was speechless after being slapped in the face by Jiang Pengji, but Feng Jue, who was beside him, was almost disgusted.
Jiang Pengji saw Feng Jue's speechless expression and couldn't help but sneer. "Feng Jue, do you dislike feces? If we don't use feces to increase fertility, the farmland will be squeezed dry sooner or later. Without these methods, how can the output of the farmland supply the millions of mouths in the world? "
Feng Jue's eyelids drooped slightly. He didn't want to argue with Jiang Pengji.
Jiang Pengji continued, "These contents can be found in books, and the records aren't detailed. The specific operation still needs to be tested. I've visited several old farmers in succession over the past few days. I found out that their farmland produces more grain than others, but the plowing period is shorter. However, the farmland itself isn't fertile. This result is definitely not only due to meticulous service, but also due to other reasons. "
Huang Song nodded as he listened, a thoughtful look on his face.
Jiang Pengji spoke until her mouth was dry. She poured herself a glass of water and drank it to quench her thirst.
"According to what you said, it's indeed necessary to exist."
Experiment with various farming methods and fertilizers. After a certain amount of harvest, promote them to the people. Naturally, the people can take fewer detours.
Jiang Pengji said, "I want to build more public toilets."
Huang Song let out a puzzled "ah". The topic had changed too quickly.
"Public toilets? What are they? "
"A place to use the toilet and change clothes. Ordinary people farm outside. Occasionally, when they have to use the toilet, they always find a place to relieve themselves. Don't you think it's too dirty? It's more convenient for men, but it's inconvenient for women. " Jiang Pengji furrowed her brows. She didn't seem to think that it was dirty. "If we build public toilets for the people to use, it'll be convenient for the people, and we can also ensure the cleanliness of the streets. At the same time, we can also accumulate fertilizer. Similarly, I think we can also set up some places to raise pigs and sheep. We can run a meat business and use their stables to fertilize the land. In addition, according to my observation, the peanuts from the barbarians are also wonderful. A certain farmer planted them, and the yield per mu of the field is higher than others … "
Apart from peanuts, many bean plants also have the wonderful effect of fixing nitrogen.
