"What? The elders and orphans of the Zhending Army...are coming to our place?" Liu Baiqing's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief. It was obvious that he only paid attention to the first half of the sentence.

"Well, I have asked Uncle Wang to handle this matter. Previously, our Cao family felt sorry for these old people and orphans, and did not let them get an official position before they were discharged from the army. The key is that many of them have not reached the age of discharge.

Being discharged early, these people were originally in their prime of service, but because of their status as Zhen Dingjun, they were forced to be demobilized and returned to their fields. They were discharged early. Naturally, their allowances were not much, and they were not even as good as those who had never been in the military all their lives.

There are a lot of logistical supply troops coming across the battlefield." Cao Yi said suppressing his anger.

"So many elders and orphans of the Zhending Army did not live a satisfactory life after returning to their hometown. As far as I know, Uncle Wang has been using his monthly money to support the lives of these people in the past few years, but as for him

One person is just a drop in the bucket, so I plan to take over all these old people and orphans and arrange for them to live on our newly purchased land so that they can be taken care of collectively."

"This is a great thing! Master!" Liu Baiqing said excitedly.

"I also know it's a good thing, but this expense will also be huge, so we can't sit back and rest in vain, and we need to plan ahead and make plans in advance." Cang Yi frowned, thinking about how to solve the financial problem later.

"At present, the winery can be expanded, and the space has been reserved. However, there is a big problem with the winemaking materials. Either the grain output near Jiangning City can suddenly increase, or it has to be harvested from surrounding or even distant state capitals.

Food, but this also increases the cost of round-trip transportation and labor in disguise. In addition, there are so many bandits now, and our escort team and escort agency have not yet been established, and it is possible that we will lose both people and money in the end." Cang Yi

He seemed to be talking to himself and discussing with Liu Baiqing.

"Currently we have nearly 300 people. Although the youngest is only twelve years old, after more than a month of training, he still has some strength. Originally, we could arrange for them to use some energy to do some farm work. But we bought it

Most of the land is barren and cannot be cultivated at all. Even if they are allowed to reclaim those wastelands every day, the final harvest will not be very satisfactory." Liu Baiqing looked at Cao Yi and said a little frustrated, he is a leader who leads troops in war.

You have a good hand, but if you let him manage food and drink, and think about how to make money, it is really too difficult for him, and he is powerless!

"Yes, Bai Qing, you are absolutely right!" Cang Yi said excitedly, her face full of joy.

Liu Baiqing looked at Cang Yi, who was overjoyed, and touched his head. He was a little confused. How could he be so happy just by saying that the harvest would be unsatisfactory? Could it be that the problem had happened again! Liu Baiqing was startled when he thought of this, and he was stunned.

I looked at Cang Yi, who was pacing back and forth excitedly in the room. He didn't seem to be sick.

Cang Yi suddenly turned around and said, "Bai Qing, please take out the map and land deeds around our camp!"

"Oh, okay!" Liu Baiqing reacted, took out both things, and spread them out on the table.

Cang Yi stepped forward and looked at the land deed carefully, and compared it with the map from time to time, muttering something in his mouth. Liu Baiqing listened carefully for a while, but couldn't understand much. He only vaguely heard what the young master was saying about "zonal soil" and "acidic reaction".

", "water becomes soil", "meadow soil", I don't know if I heard it right.

"Bai Qing, what is our next training plan?" Cang Yi suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Uh... It's mainly strength training and riding training. Young Master, this is..." Liu Baiqing was also shocked by Cang Yi's unconstrained ideas. One moment, he was studying farming and maps carefully. Why did he immediately ask about training the next moment?

Yes. Although I was a little confused, I still said it truthfully.

"Great! It matches our training plan perfectly!" Cang Yi clenched his fists and waved his hands heavily, saying happily.

"..."

Liu Baiqing blinked his eyes and said after a while: "Sir, I still don't quite understand why my subordinates can't keep up with you."

"Oh, we will continue with strength training and riding training, but our training venues and training methods need to be adjusted. And while training, we can also change the nature of our barren land and turn it into fertile farmland." Cang

Yi said rather arrogantly.

"Sir, how do we adjust our training methods?" Liu Baiqing still didn't understand what adjustments Cang Yi was talking about, so she asked directly.

"Well, I plan to let this group of people open up wasteland, just like Nanniwan!"

"Nanniwan? Where is that? How to open up wasteland?" It was Liu Baiqing who had transformed into a naughty blue cat and asked three thousand questions and one hundred thousand whys. He felt that he and the young master were completely like people from two different worlds. How could he talk to all these people?

People listened to Yunliwuli's words. He couldn't understand the words of other scholars. The young master was also a scholar, and he couldn't understand the words of other scholars who didn't understand.

"Don't worry about this. I will take a look at it later according to the map. When I come back, I will mark on the map where is the barren and heavy soil and where is the sandy soil, and then I will tell you how to train." Cang

Yi lowered his head, looked at the map carefully, and said.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Liu Baiqing. There seemed to be a demonic quality in his voice, and he said: "We want to transform this barren land into a plain with fragrant rice and fat ducks in the pond. There are crops everywhere, everywhere.

It’s a great place for cattle and sheep!”

The highlands here in Jiangning are mostly low mountains and residual hills, so they are small in scale. The lithology is fragments of the mountain parent rock, with poor sorting properties and mixed sizes. The composition materials are usually silty clay, silt sand, and roving. Like where Taibai Villa is located

The narrow land between Niushou Mountain and Guanyin Mountain has this kind of soil quality.

However, there are also many rivers in the territory, including the Yangtze River section, the entire Qinhuai River and some sections of the Chuhe River. The amount of sediment deposition exceeds the amount of erosion, so there is more clay soil. Later, there were three outer circles centered on Taibai Villa and Guanyin Mountain.

Most of the land purchased by Kilometers has this kind of soil.

Barren and heavy soils generally have high viscosity, poor permeability, strong water and fertilizer retention capacity, easy accumulation of water, high potential nutrient content, slow decomposition of organic matter, easy accumulation, and long-term fertility. However, the temperature difference between day and night is small, and it is not easy to farm. It is suitable for farming.

Short, the cultivation quality is poor. The soil with heavy sandiness is generally too loose, leaking water and fertilizer, lack of organic matter, large evaporation, low thermal insulation performance, short fertilizer strength, and easy to lose fertilizer in the later period.

Unfortunately, the three-mile radius of Taibai Villa is covered with these two types of land that are not suitable for farming. At first, Liu Baiqing and Cang Yi did not think about farming. They only thought that the poorer the land, the cheaper the price would be, so

I just chose this place. Now that money is tight, I can only cultivate it myself to support my family. Fortunately, Cang Yi, a cheater from later generations, can interpret a wise saying from later generations, that is, knowledge changes destiny, but it changes the soil.

It's just fate.

To improve the infertile and heavy soil, it is necessary to apply organic fertilizer again, because the organic fertilizer applied is easy to form humus and change the soil structure and farmability. Generally, organic fertilizer is applied several times per acre every year and it can generally turn into organic fertilizer after two years.

Good farming. Another way is to press sand to reduce the viscosity. That is to transport the sandy soil, press it up, and then mix it with organic fertilizer, turn the soil and compact it several times in a row, which can also improve the heavy soil.

.

For the improvement of sandy soil, organic fertilizers can also be applied. This is the most effective way to improve sandy soil. This is to turn various manures and compost into the soil during spring or autumn plowing. The second is to mix a large amount of river mud.

, pond mud, and various heavy clay soils are turned into the picture. This is also a good way to improve sandy soil.

Although the above words seem complicated, in fact, if you want to improve these two kinds of soil, it can be explained clearly in one sentence, that is, dig out a layer of soil from these two pieces of land, and then cover the two dug-out soils interchangeably.
