Liu Yang: "That's right. Everyone wants to live a good life. If we ordinary people want to live a good life, we can only work in the fields or raise some animals to sell. Other ways are not suitable for us. People all live for a bite to eat. It's not easy for everyone."

Yun Tao: "Director Liu, I don't know whether I should say something or not."

Liu Yang: "You said, we are old acquaintances now. You have helped our village so much, there is nothing wrong with saying it."

Yun Tao: "I think it's only a matter of time before the pigs in your village get plague. This is not pleasant to hear, but pigs, like people, like to stay in clean and comfortable places. Your pigsty is small, airtight, messy and dirty. You see, you were disgusted when you came in, right? You didn't even want to step in, let alone these pigs."

"Don't think that pigs are animals that don't like cleanliness. In fact, they are very clean animals. Normally, pig feces can be used as fertilizer. As fertilizer, it is very good. But in this situation, all pig feces cannot be used. They contain bacteria and may affect the crops in the fields. All of these feces must be cleaned up and cannot be used. Either high-temperature sterilization or some special powder is sprinkled on them."

Liu Yang became curious: "So which of these two methods do you think is better?"

Yun Tao: "Both methods are good. The effects are similar. It's just that high temperature disinfection is very troublesome and labor-intensive, and it's also dealing with feces, so it's a thankless task. Think about it, high temperature disinfection is disinfecting pig feces, it must smell bad."

"Special powder is actually powder of Chinese medicinal materials. It's a bit expensive. But it doesn't take time or effort, it just costs money. It depends on how you think about it."

Liu Yang: "That's the method you used when you dealt with the rabbits."

Yun Tao: "I'm lazy, so I asked my elder brother to use the powder, but we don't have that many rabbits, and the place is not as big as yours. So the silver cost is only a few taels, which is acceptable to us. You have a large area here, so you may need a lot more silver if you really use this method. You can make your own decision."

Liu Yang: "Okay, if this costs a lot of money, I will have to discuss it with the people in the village. After all, they are not my family, so I can't make the decision."

Yun Tao: "That's for sure. If it comes to money, we have to make it clear. We are all from the same village. There is no need to hurt the relationship over money."

I'm giving you a heads up.

"We need to ensure that the pigs have adequate nutrition and provide them with clean drinking water and food. Look at your pig pens now. Are they very dirty? They are so dirty that you can't stand it. And the water looks like sewage. I'm not going to say it, but if the pigs drink this water for a long time, they will easily get sick and their survival rate will be low."

Liu Yang lowered his head embarrassedly.

"You should set up a separate trough for their drinking water and only put water in it. It's also best to clean it out every day. The same goes for the food trough."

"You should clean up the feces of the pigs in the pigsty in time and rinse it with water after cleaning. This way, the pigs will have better resistance and live comfortably in a clean and hygienic environment. At least you will be willing to come in when you come in to feed them."

"There is a manure pit behind each pig pen for centralized treatment. It can be used by anyone who needs fertilizer. When you need to apply fertilizer when growing crops in the future, you will find it very convenient and you won't have to run around. And the pollution to the environment will be much smaller."

"You can go to my eldest brother's house to ask them how they deal with rabbit feces for specific operations. After all, they have always been doing this, and they are better than me in both methods and actual operations."

"Also, after you have dealt with all the dead or sick pigs, you need to sprinkle some powder around the burn site. When I left, I arranged for my eldest son Daniu to bring it to you after he is done. This powder is equivalent to disinfection, so you can use it."

Liu Yang: "How can this be so embarrassing? We will give you the silver you need. We can't take advantage of you for nothing. You have helped us a lot, but you don't know it. When this problem occurred, everyone in the village was very worried. If it is not handled properly, the animals in the village will be affected, not only the pigs but also the chickens, ducks and geese. Otherwise, I would not have the audacity to come to your village to find you."

Yun Tao: "We are all from the same village, so just consider it as a favor. Besides, it is not worth much, so just take it."

Liu Yang wanted to say something else, but Yun Tao stopped him.

Liu Yang had to accept Yun Tao's kindness embarrassedly.

Yuntao waited for Danniu to deliver the powder to Persimmon Village and then followed Danniu back.

Daniu: "Mom, why did you send them these powders? I smell some medicinal herbs added to them. It must cost a lot of money."

Yun Tao: "It costs a lot of money, and it's not cheap. I, your mother, must have my own reasons for doing this."

Daniu: "Why, mother, why do you want to do good things? Why don't we collect some money? Even if we don't make any money, at least our capital is covered. Why should we suffer this loss? And since we are not related, I don't think it is necessary."

Yun Tao: "Do you think our family can usually come into contact with people like Liu Tingzhang?"

Da Niu thought for a while and said, "Mom, it seems that we can't get in touch with him. Although he is a pavilion chief, he is still an official. He is better than ordinary people like us. After all, he eats the emperor's food."

Yun Tao: "Yes, it's good that you know. We are just farmers. We can't contact those officials, no matter they are high-ranking or low-ranking. If it wasn't for the incident in his own village, Shizi Village, do you think he would come to me? We should maintain good relationships with such people. If you need help from them in the future, they will help you or take care of you. If we don't build good relationships with them, why do you think they will take care of us when we go to them for help? "

"Besides, even if the powder is valuable, it is not worth more than 10 taels of silver at most. Our family is not short of the silver now, so why are you worried? Daniel, don't be too stingy when doing things. If you are too stingy, you will have no friends."

"Don't be too calculative about everything. If you are too calculative, you will become petty and mean-spirited in everything you do and handle. If your business is not big, people who are worth associating with will not want to deal with you."

Daniu said sheepishly, "Mom, I know."
