Chapter 1072 Obstruction
After eating the pork trotter noodles and walking for a while, it was getting dark, so Sun Shan and his party quickly found a village to stay the night.
The same old rules, give money to the village chief in exchange for good food and drink.
Of course, the village chief also wondered where Sun Shan came from, where he was going, and why he had so much free time to wander around?
Even if you don't study, you still have to work, right? Even if you are a second-generation rich, you can't just wander around like this, right?
I have to hurry back to learn how to do things from my father and grandfather so that I can inherit the family business.
Wang Jiaxing gave a random answer to such a question.
It's a lie anyway. Sun Shan's character is fake to begin with, so just give a random answer.
The next day, at daybreak, the farmers got up to work, and Sun Shan also prepared to move on.
Wang Jiaxing was still sleepy. He couldn't open his eyes and was yawning continuously with tears flowing out.
After finally opening his eyes, he saw Sun Shan, who was full of energy, and couldn't help but admire him.
Sun Dingnan couldn't stand it anymore and said earnestly: "Wang Tongsheng, you have to sleep well at night so that you can be energetic the next day. Reading is not just about reading the book, but also about taking it into your mind. If you don't have the energy to read, you will get half the result with twice the effort."
He thought to himself: Compared with the Wenquxing of their Sunjia Village, Wang Tongsheng is far inferior.
No wonder he was still a virgin at the age of twenty.
The Wenquxing of their Sunjia Village was a scholar at the age of thirteen, a juren at the age of nineteen, and a jinshi at the age of twenty-three.
Look, this is the gap. From his mental outlook, it can be seen that Wang Tongsheng is no match for the Wenquxing of their Sunjia Village.
Alas, it seems that this Wang Tongsheng in front of him is at best a scholar. It will be difficult for him to pass the examination to become a juren or jinshi.
Of course, Sun Dingnan hopes that Wang Tongsheng can make steady progress and achieve good results in his studies, which will also be the achievement of the Wenquxing of their Sunjia Village.
These days, Sun Dingnan probably understood that under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Sun, good things and bad things were all ultimately related to County Magistrate Sun.
If something bad happens, it will be written heavily on the official's resume. If something good happens, it will also be recorded heavily on the official's resume.
Sun Dingnan hopes that Sun Shan will get promoted and make a fortune, which will also benefit Sunjia Village and his younger brothers.
Wang Jiaxing said awkwardly: "Brother Nan, I have never walked such a long distance, so I look so tired. Haha, I will definitely adapt when I get used to it."
Sun Dali looked at Wang Jiaxing and suggested, "Good young man, you should exercise more in the future. Only with a good body can you write well on the test paper."
Wang Jiaxing quickly said yes: "Thank you Uncle Dali for your reminder. I will train in this direction in the future."
The group walked and stopped, looking at the vast mountains from time to time.
To be honest, it is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, you will get aesthetically fatigued if you look at it all day and all night.
At this moment, Sun Shan could no longer discover the beauty of Yuanlu.
When they passed a village, they saw many people planting rice in the fields.
It's after Qingming Festival, the seedlings are almost planted, and they should be finishing up.
Sun Shan squatted on the edge of the field and looked at the seedlings carefully. They looked healthy at the moment.
After the seedlings have established themselves, they need to be fertilized.
Nitrogen fertilizer, in particular, is very important for rice growth. Unfortunately, there is no such fertilizer available at present.
The pitifully low rice yield is due not only to soil conditions, irrigation conditions, climate conditions, seed quality, planting techniques, pesticide conditions, but also to the important issue of fertilizer.
If the nutrition is sufficient, the yield will increase even if there is congenital deficiency.
Wang Jiaxing saw Sun Shan digging up other people's rice fields, sighing from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When the spring plowing ceremony was held, the people all said that Sun Shan knew how to farm. Could it be that Mr. Sun was really an expert in farming?
But he doesn't look like it at all.
Wang Jiaxing asked in a low voice: "Brother Nan, is Master Sun good at farming?"
Sun Dingnan shook his head, then nodded and said, "I don't know how the master is at farming, but he is good at growing flowers, especially orchids. The withered flowers will become good flowers after passing through the master's hands. The master's family makes a living by growing flowers."
Sun Jiaxing's eyes rolled around. Oh, he finally knew what the Sun family did.
It turns out he is a big flower grower.
What’s more, they were growing orchids. A good orchid is very valuable. No wonder Lord Sun had no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation. It turned out that there was rice at home.
I have to tell my uncle this news so that they can get to know more about Lord Sun.
Sun Shan had no idea that Sun Jiaxing was acting like a traitor and looked at the seedlings.
I randomly asked a farmer who was busy working in the field, "Old man, what do you use to make fertilizer?"
After the translation, the old man shook his head and said in a distressed tone: "The manure prepared this year is not enough. Alas, we have to save it and dam it."
There are four kinds of fertilizers nowadays.
The first type is feces, such as human feces, chicken, duck, goose, pig and other animal feces.
The second type is grass manure, which can be made by using some rotten leaves and branches to make compost, or by planting seedlings such as beans to make green manure.
The third type is ash manure, which is some hay burned and stored as fertilizer to improve the soil.
The fourth type is mud fertilizer, such as silt from rivers and ponds. The silt is directly dug and put on the fields as fertilizer.
Of the many types of fertilizers, the first is the most popular and also the hardest to find.
The old man said that there was not enough manure, which meant that the grain harvest might be a few buckets less.
Unless Sun Shan could invent fertilizer, there was nothing he could do to solve this problem.
But the current industrial technology is not enough, and it is not easy to make fertilizer.
We can only start from grass manure and other aspects and try to make more fertilizer.
Sun Shan asked the old man many questions.
For example, how many acres of land do you have, how much is the yield per acre, how much is the tax paid, how much is left, how many people are there in the family, and what else do you do besides farming.
He asked a bunch of random questions, just like checking one's family assets.
Of course, the old man answered Sun Shan so enthusiastically because of the "paid service".
They may not tell the truth even if you pay them, and if you don’t pay them, they won’t even bother to talk to you. They might as well do farm work.
Sun Shan's "paid" method attracted many farmers, and everyone was looking forward to Sun Shan asking questions.
Haha, you can get twenty copper coins by asking a few questions, which is equivalent to working for a day at the landlord’s house.
Although farmers are illiterate, they are not stupid.
After some calculations, I wish there were a few more "idle people" like Sun Shan to ask questions.
Sun Shan: ...
Finally, after asking several people in succession, I was able to get out.
Emma, the people in Yuanlu County are not simple and honest at all. They ask for money just for asking a few questions. They really know how to do business.
Gui Ge'er had thought so a long time ago, and said regretfully: "Brother Shan, why didn't we in Sunjia Village think of asking for money? We just answered whatever others asked us. Oh, we didn't think about the money at all. What a mistake. When you write back again, remember to tell them that if they ask about the situation, remember to collect the money."
Sun Shan rolled his eyes. If he had a fan, he would definitely hit Gui Ge'er on the head.
He shook his head and said, "Don't be obsessed with money. You can't be a man who cares about money all the time, understand?"
Under the pressure of Sun Shan's "poisonous eyes", Gui Ge'er had no choice but to say, "Brother Shan, I was just talking, don't take it seriously."
