Mina also covered her nose, frowned and glanced around, only to see many animals lying on the ground, crowded together.
"Call the steward to see me." Liu Feng glanced at the ground in the farm, it was a mixture of feces and urine, and walked out of the farm with a frown.
The members of the Wolf Warriors team immediately assigned a person to call for someone, and when they brought him over, they were searched all over before letting the steward go to see Liu Feng.
"My lord." The steward was a middle-aged man, and he saluted in fear when he saw Liu Feng.
"I didn't give an order, why is this farm still so messy?" Liu Feng asked with a frown, he wanted to know which link went wrong.
He has explained the environment of the livestock, the excrement should be cleaned regularly, and the livestock should not be allowed to roll on the excrement. This will easily cause some diseases, or some contagious diseases, which will be disastrous, maybe in just a few days , the animals in the entire farm are completely dead.
"This..." The steward lowered his head in a panic, and explained with a bitter face, "My lord, it's really those feces, and the villain doesn't know where to transport them. The shed doesn't use that much feces."
The steward now has a hard time saying that he is afraid of being punished for throwing out the excrement. After all, Liu Feng has ordered that the excrement is useful and cannot be dumped.
"Great shed?" Liu Feng understood that the fertilizer for the greenhouse should be watered every few days, but the manure of the farm is produced every day.
The added value of farms lies in these manures. There is no fertilizer in this era. If you want vegetables, high grain yields and good growth, fertilizers are indispensable, and animal manure is one of the best fertilizers.
Greenhouses can't consume so much fertilizer now, which is a problem. If we open up wasteland next year, I'm afraid there won't be enough manure from more than a dozen farms.
Chapter 0344 Alien version of fertilizer.
Land reclamation next year, not enough fertilizer?
Liu Feng immediately thought of this question. If the wasteland is reclaimed next year, if it is the land on the other side of the Youshui River, in the first year it will be no problem to grow food only by relying on the fertility of the land. What about in the future?There will always be a barren day.
It is similar to the land in Xiyang City. After so many years of planting, the land has long been very barren, and the food planted is getting worse every year. In this era, the common people have no concept of using farmyard manure at all. How could it be possible to think of using farmyard manure?
fertilizer?Liu Feng frowned and thought about it. He didn't have much impression of this. He only knew that farm manure contained more comprehensive nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, sulfur, etc., and some trace elements.
Most of these nutrient elements are in the state of organic matter. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to be directly absorbed and utilized by crops. They have to go through soil chemical and physical action and microbial decomposition, and the nutrients are gradually released by fermentation. The advantage is that the fertilizer effect is long and stable.
He decided to go back and check the information to see how to use this farmyard manure, which is related to whether the grain production will be high next year.
The manager was a little apprehensive. He watched Liu Feng frowning all the time, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He was afraid of being driven away. Although the farm stinks a bit, the salary is very high.
"You collect all those feces into a pile, and I will send someone to take them away later." Liu Feng ordered lightly.
"Yes." The steward replied loudly and respectfully.
"Let's go back to the city." Liu Feng turned his head and said to Mina, and then led the way to the carriage.
Mina and Darlene looked at each other ignorantly, what's going on?Just leave like this?The two couldn't understand Liu Feng's order to collect feces. What was the reason for this?
"Ta Tata..."
The three got into the carriage, and under the guard of the Wolf Warriors team, the carriage headed straight for Xiyang City.
In the carriage, Liu Feng closed his eyes and rested his mind. He was thinking about the characteristics of farmyard manure. Only by solving these characteristics can the food absorb nutrients faster.
The carriage was quiet, Mina and Darlene looked at Liu Feng quietly, they always felt that something happened, it was related to the farm.
"Ta Tata..."
The carriage quickly returned to the castle, Liu Feng got off the carriage and went straight to the study, Mina followed with brisk steps.
Darlene didn't keep up, she was going to talk to Catherine about tomorrow's itinerary, and she had to say goodbye to Eliza, after all, she was going back to the capital tomorrow.
"Gag!"
Liu Feng pushed open the door of the study, and after scanning around, he saw An Li, Nicole, and Avery staring at him in astonishment.
"Master, you are back." Nicole said softly, stepped forward to help Liu Feng take off his military coat, squatted down and patted the mud off his knees.
"En." Liu Feng nodded, stood still quietly, touched Nicole's head, and said softly, "Okay, just change clothes later."
"Okay." Nicole said softly, getting up and standing aside.
Liu Feng slid his finger over Nicole's cheek, chuckled lightly, stepped to sit on the chair, opened the bottom drawer, and took out a book called "The Complete Book of Agriculture" from it, opened the catalog and looked it up, it was very Quickly find the knowledge points you want.
"Use soil straws to fertilize, plant ash and soil clods..." Liu Feng took a pen and wrote on paper from time to time. The knowledge in the book, combined with the characteristics of this era, finally allowed him to find a way to make fertilizers from other worlds.
Liu Feng's appearance made Anli and Nicole a little worried. They turned their eyes to Mina who just came in, with questioning eyes.
"..." Mina spread her hands, she didn't know what was going on, and she was also very confused along the way.
"Okay." Liu Feng said softly, this fertilizer really needs to be prepared now, after all, every passing day is a waste.
"Master, did something happen?" An Li's brown eyes were full of worry.
"It's okay, it's a good thing." Liu Feng shook his head and smiled lightly, "I found a way to increase food production."
"What?" Enri stood up, eyes widening.
"Master, do you say it's true?" Nicole covered her mouth in surprise.
In this era, food production will only decrease, not increase. After all, the land is getting poorer and poorer, so how can it increase production?
"Of course it's true." Liu Feng nodded affirmatively. He didn't explain too much, and told An Li, "An Li, prepare to write instructions."
"Yes." An Li replied, sat down and took out a pen and paper to prepare for dictation.
"Today we will start to set up an 'agricultural fertilizer factory', the address is near the farm, let people choose the site; and immediately build a wooden shed, and it must be well ventilated..."
Liu Feng talked about the construction requirements of the 'Fertilizer Factory'. The most important thing is ventilation and an open-air drying area.
"Also, let people collect the feces and urine from the whole city and send them to the fertilizer factory, and send the feces from the farms there too." Liu Feng continued.
"Ah?" An Li was stunned, looking at Liu Feng with dull eyes, why are you collecting feces now?This request is very strange.
"Master, is this excrement related to the increase in food production?" Nicole immediately thought of this.
"Well, the wheat also needs to be nourished. The nutrients in the land were sucked dry before, so we added nutrients to the wheat." Liu Feng simply explained.
Both Nicole and An Li understand the word nutrition. Liu Feng has explained it to them before because of the issue of eating, but it is intertwined with excrement and urine, which makes them afraid to look directly at the word nutrition.
"This is the method of making fertilizer. Let people start working immediately. It will be used urgently next year." Liu Feng handed Anli the method of how to make farmyard manure into fertilizer that he had written just now.
"Yes." An Li replied, quickly took the paper, and sealed it with the written instructions.
She will hand it over to Niu Ben later. Niu Ben is more proficient in this aspect. Niu Ben is in charge of farms and vegetables in greenhouses. It is mainly the talents in planting and breeding in Xiyang City. What An Li knows is not a lot of.
"Phew..." Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He really forgot this before. The yield of food with or without fertilizer is several times different.
His fertilizer formula is actually a kind of soil method. The manure is fermented with a total amount of soil, that is, the manure is fermented in the soil, and the physical and chemical effects make the soil fertile, and then add grass and trees, etc., and then dry it. , it becomes soil fertilizer.
After this kind of soil fertilizer is fertilized, because it contains soil components, it will be easily absorbed by plants. This is the alien version of the fertilizer.
