She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.
Chapter 49 Just do as instructed
When Qin Yu saw so many people kowtowing to the person next to him, he stepped aside and didn't accept their kowtows.
He also rolled his eyes at this Lord Liu in his heart.
She didn't like these things, but she knew this was ancient times and she couldn't say anything.
"No need for formalities, everyone. I've called you all here today to discuss important matters, so there's no need for formalities!"
As Liu Zheng spoke, he stepped forward and gently helped several village chiefs to their feet.
"Today I am here with everyone to obey your orders. We will all just follow Lord Li's instructions!"
As Liu Zheng spoke, he walked into the main hall.
As the sun grew stronger, everyone began to break out in a cold sweat.
Qin Yu suggested that everyone sit in the main hall.
He waited until everyone had entered the main hall before slowly speaking.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"
"I have gathered you all here today because there is an important matter concerning farmland that I need to discuss with you. Please listen patiently."
Qin Yu spoke softly, yet his voice was clear and penetrating.
She told everyone that she did two things in one year, and they all found it unbelievable.
Immediately, someone refuted this.
"Although it is fertile land, the soil is not fertile. If we plant two kinds of crops a year, it will deplete the land, and when we plant wheat the following spring, it will not grow!"
"That's right, that's absolutely unacceptable!"
Qin Yu knew it would be difficult, so he wasn't surprised at all.
She waited until everyone had finished speaking before she spoke.
"Everyone, I know what you're thinking. The land is not fertile and there is little good farmland, so everyone is quite worried. However, there is a way to solve this problem."
"After the wheat is cut with a sickle, it is left to dry in the field for two days. Then, a fire is set to burn all the grass roots in the field. This way, everyone doesn't have to work hard to turn the soil, and the insects in the field can also be burned off to stabilize the soil!"
"Burned?"
"Never heard of it?"
"That's far from enough. Every household can use the manure from the outhouse to irrigate the land, and then turn the soil over after three to five days. This way, all the fertilizer can be turned into the soil."
"what?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
I can understand setting fire to the grass stalks in the field, but putting manure in the field is just too smelly.
I've never even heard of it.
That's absolutely outrageous!
Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to already feel the stench of the excrement.
Immediately, someone vomited.
Some people even covered their noses, their eyes filled with disgust.
This is obviously something no one expected.
“I know what everyone is thinking. Everyone thinks that the manure water is too dirty and smelly, so what good will it do to irrigate the fields?”
"This excrement does stink, but it's the best fertilizer for fertilizing fields. It's all from people eating grains and other foods; although it smells bad, it can be used to fertilize fields!"
Seeing the ambiguous expressions on everyone's faces, Qin Yu knew that these words had been quite impactful.
"Young Master Qin, I don't know where you saw this, it sounds quite puzzling!"
"Could it be that Lord Li has been deceived? Where did this swindler come from?"
The two village chiefs from Baishui Village and Linshui Village disagreed.
The way he looked at Qin Yu became unrestrained.
Clearly, none of them wanted to listen to a pale-faced scholar.
"I don't know where they came from. We've been farming all our lives and we've never heard of using manure for irrigation. Not to mention it's dirty and smelly, we might as well just dump it in the field!"
Tell me, how can we believe you?
"Forget whether you believe it or not, this mouth of yours is full of shit and piss, I... ugh~"
"It's really not fit for polite society!"
"vomit......"
The sounds seemed to have already reached them.
Qin Yu frowned slightly, sensing the malicious gazes directed at him.
His gaze hardened even more.
Qin Yu wasn't very good at history; he didn't know when the practice of using manure to fertilize fields began.
But since no one here has started, it means that it hasn't even begun.
She was also glad that she was dressed as a man.
Even the man's words seemed unbelievable to them.
Moreover, if I were a woman standing here talking to them, I would just poop on the ground.
She could already imagine how these people would see her.
However, if it is dumped directly into the field, it may not achieve the effect of fertilizing the field.
Because the manure has been fermented, it can be used as fertilizer.
"I know everyone is wondering, but I wouldn't have said that if I wasn't absolutely certain."
Before she could offer any further explanation, Li Yang, who was standing to the side, stepped forward.
"Just do as I say. If Young Master Qin hasn't seen it before, he certainly won't say anything!"
"I am aware of this matter as well. Just as Lord Li said, we should simply do as instructed!"
The two officials took the lead in standing by her side, and their words were full of support.
Upon seeing this, everyone shut their mouths and dared not say anything more, looking at Qin Yu with puzzled expressions.
For a moment, everyone began to wonder, who exactly is this person?
How come even two adults listen to her now? Just let them do as she says.
This is simply outrageous.
Lin Quan stood up and couldn't help but say, "My lords, it's not that we don't want to obey, but we all want to know if he, a mere scholar, knows anything about farming."
“That’s right!” someone else stood up. “Look at him, his limbs are thin and frail, his fingers are long and white, he looks like someone who doesn’t eat grains. He doesn’t look like someone who knows anything!”
The two men's words clearly resonated with everyone, who nodded in agreement.
"I'm sorry everyone, I really don't know much!"
The two adults were dumbfounded after Qin Yu finished speaking.
I originally thought she would explain herself, say how she understood it, or explain the principles, or try to make them believe her.
But he actually said he didn't understand.
Just as I was about to stop him, I heard him say something else.
"However, it seems you don't have a better solution!"
No matter how much you say, these people will all refute you.
“You village chiefs or farmers have been here longer than me, but you don’t seem to be able to make the fields fertile, and you don’t even dare to boast about making two kinds of crops a year.”
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, which had been so arrogant.
As he said, not only had they not found a good way to change the status quo, but they also dared not boast about their production output.
"I've seen rice grown in two different kinds a year, I've seen fertile fields, and I've even seen rice stalks taller than a person. I even know how you cook rice to make it taste good. Now you have no other choice but to listen to me or maintain the status quo!"
"After the wheat is harvested, the only thing you can do is leave the fields fallow. If you don't want to fertilize them, then you don't have to! But if you do, you'll harvest more than just one crop."
Qin Yu's eyes were full of determination, and his straight back made his words even more forceful.
His resounding question struck everyone as if they had been struck by something heavy.
