Chapter 142 Senior Shen, have I ever offended you?
After Shen Ruolan heard Ji Han's words, she looked at him with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Oh? Where did you get this from?"
Ji Han told Shen Ruolan the truth: "After many trials and tribulations, the villagers are no longer timid. Whether they are villagers who are reclaiming wasteland or responsible for going out hunting, when they see tigers and wolves, they not only do not fight with their legs, but also fight with the beasts bravely until they have knocked down all the beasts. Only then will they give up."
Miao Wei also quickly said, "Master, Manager Ji is right. We rarely see wild animals around Fuzhai. Even if we occasionally see one, it will be scared away from a long distance. Now when people go hunting, they have to go far away to catch it."
After Shen Ruolan listened to the words of her two subordinates, she nodded and said, "Well, the villagers of our Fuzhai must be brave and work together to be fearless."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she looked at the barren fields around her and asked Miao Wei, "Miao Wei, a lot of land has been reclaimed. Are you preparing fertilizers for spring planting?"
When Miao Wei heard his master asking about fertilizer, he frowned and said to her, "Master, we have nothing else except a small amount of wood ash and everyone's urine and feces."
Needless to say, the little fertilizer they prepared was not enough for ten acres of land, which was almost equivalent to nothing.
"This is too little." Shen Ruolan rubbed her brows and was silent for a while. She said to Miao Wei: "How about this, starting from tomorrow, you send some people back to prepare fertilizer for spring planting. Otherwise, even if we can plant a lot of crops next year, the harvest will be pitiful."
Miao Wei said: "Master, how should we prepare?"
Shen Ruolan pointed to the cultivated fields and said to Miao Wei, "Dig a big pit next to the cultivated fields to ferment manure. Dig one pit every ten mu of land."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she paused and continued, "As for how to ferment manure, let everyone go to the mountains to carry back all the rotten leaves and pour them into the earth pit, then add an appropriate amount of water, and finally divide the manure that everyone has accumulated into each large pit as evenly as possible to ferment together."
After hearing what his master said, Miao Wei responded loudly: "Yes, Master, I will remember it."
Shen Ruolan nodded at him and sighed, "Ah, it would be even better if we could buy some pigs, cattle and sheep."
This not only solved her fertilizer problem, but also solved everyone's meat problem.
Shen Ruolan's words made Ji Han's eyebrows move, and he said to her: "Master, pigs and cattle are not easy to buy, but the place you told me last time has many wild goats. Should we catch some and bring them back to raise?"
The last time he went back to transport things, his master mentioned the place Li Heng mentioned to him. He took some time to take a look and found that there were indeed quite a few wild goats there, but they were not easy to catch.
"Wild goats!" Shen Ruolan shook her head and said with some resistance: "This thing is not easy to raise. It's okay to raise a few for meat, but if you raise a lot, forget it."
When raising sheep, you have to keep changing the location, otherwise grazing in one place for a long time will cause serious damage.
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was unwilling to raise sheep, Ji Han thought for a moment and said, "Then I will go to Nanfeng Village this time and ask around to see if there are any pigs or cows for sale, and then bring some back for the master."
Shen Ruolan said: "Sure, if you meet chickens and eggs, bring some back."
"Yes," Ji Han replied.
After Shen Ruolan and her servants walked around one-third of the wasteland, she returned home because she was worried that her child would cry.
The new land was being developed by some experienced farmers, so there was no need for her, an outsider, to say anything about the specific matters. She only needed to give everyone some suggestions on certain areas that needed improvement.
Time flies, and a month has passed. Although there is no snow in Nanshan, it rains more frequently than before. It rains every two days, making the whole mountain wet and cold.
Fortunately, the villagers are busy in the mountains every day and don’t feel it is that cold.
But even so, Shen Ruolan has already made a batch of clothes with the cloth she bought, and is ready to distribute them to everyone as New Year gifts during the Chinese New Year.
Beiming Capital.
Jiang Dichen also returned to the capital because of the rain and the local people did not lack water. However, when he was entering the city gate, by coincidence, he met Shen Qi who had also just arrived in the capital.
It is said that enemies become jealous of each other when they meet. No, to be precise, it was Shen Qi who became jealous when he saw Jiang Dichen, who had bullied Shen Ruolan. If he had not just arrived in the capital and had not had time to deal with the Lan family, he would definitely teach Jiang Dichen a lesson.
Jiang Dichen had already sensed Shen Qi's hostility. If he hadn't been an acquaintance of his, he would have attacked him long ago.
After a brief silence, Jiang Dichen frowned and asked Shen Qi, "Senior Shen, have I ever offended you?"
Shen Qi snorted coldly at Jiang Dichen and said, "King Han is worrying too much."
After he finished speaking, he deliberately rushed forward. Just when he just passed by Jiang Dichen's mount, Jiang Dichen's mount went crazy for some reason. It suddenly let out a loud "neigh", raised its front hooves high, and ran madly into the crowd.
The horse suddenly went crazy, which made Jiang Dichen feel depressed. He turned around and looked at Shen Qi coldly, then quickly pulled the reins tightly, trying to control the out-of-control horse.
"Master" Yan Mo saw that his master's horse had gone mad, so he quickly flew after it.
Shi Nie hurriedly led the team back.
"Fifth brother..." Jiang Yingxue saw that her brother's horse was out of control. She pulled open the curtain of the carriage, looked at her brother's back, and shouted with a worried look on her face.
Shen Qi originally turned around to leave, but when he heard someone calling Jiang Dichen brother, he didn't say anything and secretly threw a needle at the horse of the carriage. The carriage, which had been stationary, suddenly ran towards the crowd.
"Ah, help!" Jiang Yingxue and Yao Chuyan in the carriage were so frightened that they shouted for help.
Seeing this, Shi Nie shouted to his companions: "Come here, protect the princess."
Shen Qi glanced at the panicked crowd in the street, then turned around and left with satisfaction.
An hour later, in the Han Palace, Jiang Yingxue covered her broken head and said to her brother with hatred: "Fifth brother, you must find out who is responsible for this, otherwise it will be too frustrating."
It was so embarrassing that they, the brother and sister, were plotted against in the street as they were the princes and princesses of a country.
Although Jiang Dichen was not injured, it took him a lot of effort to stop his mount. After hearing what his sister said, he looked at her and fell silent in his heart.
He knew clearly who was the culprit today, but he just couldn't understand. He had never offended the old doctor Shen, so why was he so dissatisfied with him?
And why did he come to the capital this time? Was he here to treat the crown prince, or was there something else?
Jiang Dichen, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it. He looked at his sister and said, "Xue'er, there's been some unrest outside recently. You should go back to the palace first."
