Chapter 119 Imperial Archway



Next comes the topdressing period for crops.

The village was filled with the stench of farm manure.

Song Jinxiu is also thinking about the problem of fertilizing her more than 100 acres of land.

It was our first time to farm, and since the land was newly bought, not much fertilizer had been accumulated on the roots.

And now it is just topdressing. After the autumn harvest, the land needs to be deeply plowed, which will require a large amount of farmyard manure.

She stayed in the space, trying to find out if there was any good way to make compost.

But she found that the composting methods she had saved were all used for growing flowers.

What about using egg shells, fermenting milk, and putting rotten vegetable leaves into cans...

Although growing flowers is similar to growing crops, these methods of making fertilizer are like playing house and are not very useful.

Suddenly I remembered that I went to visit my grandma once. Wasn't she making compost?

She seems to be involved!

First, spread a layer of straw or other carbon material 15 to 20 cm thick, then sprinkle a layer of human feces or livestock manure, and then a layer of soil. Repeat this process until the compost pile is about 1.5 to 2 meters high.

Finally, cover the outside tightly with yellow mud and let it ferment naturally. It will be fine in about a month.

One month, just in time for the autumn harvest. It is better to apply fertilizer after autumn.

Song Jinxiu told this method to the villagers, and Songjia Village launched a round of high-temperature fertilizer accumulation campaign.

Old Fifth stroked his beard and sniffed his nose with a smile wherever he went. If someone's house didn't smell bad, he would start yelling, "Are you being lazy? Why doesn't your house smell bad? The crops are flourishing, and they all depend on manure. Go and make fertilizer!"

Which family in Songjia Village is the most diligent model family? Mr. Laowu, what kind of logic is this?

Song Jinxiu covers her face!

Not to mention the composting operation this time, a special area will have to be set aside for composting later. The taste is too sour and Song Jinxiu can't stand it.

Fortunately, after the dung pile was tightly covered with yellow mud, there was no smell.

The entire Songjia Village ushered in the Mid-Autumn Festival amidst waves of stinking odor. At the same time, the emperor's edict also arrived.

Songjia Village contributed its oil pressing technique and was granted an imperial memorial archway. At the same time, Song Jinxiu, the head of the Songjia Village clan, was announced to go to Beijing to meet the emperor after the autumn harvest.

Songjia Village was boiling again.

The imperial archway!

This is the highest-level type of archway, built by order of the emperor himself and funded by the national treasury.

What an honor this is!

The prefect also came along with the imperial edict.

Although the imperial memorial archway was ordered by the emperor and funded by the national treasury, its construction was entrusted to the Ministry of Works in the city of 깊.

The prefect followed with mixed feelings.

Unexpectedly, there was an imperial memorial archway in the area under the management of the emperor. He should be happy, but he didn't get anything from the biggest Golden Rooster Oil Pressing Technique.

I also suspected that it was Magistrate Wang of Lunshan County who reported it to a higher level.

If this guy reports this to the Kunzhou Prefecture, we will have to suppress it no matter what, so that the Kunzhou Prefecture can make a lot of money before reporting it!

But the magistrate of Lunshan County looked even more gloomy. It was not until he met Zhang Han later that he finally figured out how a small Songjia Village could reach heaven directly?

Zhang 떚han's floating ticket was supervised by 놛 himself. Of course, we also know who is behind this?

That's right, with that person here, it's better not to meddle with the oil pressing technique, lest you get yourself into trouble and gain nothing.

It seems that this photo of Dong Han has caught that person's eye. I have read Zhang Han's articles and he is indeed a talented person.

Therefore, the governor of Kunzhou looked at Zhang Bangchui with special eyes.

This person is talented and has a good background, so his future will naturally be worry-free.

"I read your article and it's good, but you can't be proud. How about this, there is an old scholar in Kunwu Academy in the capital who is my mentor. I will introduce you to him as his disciple.

Do your best in the autumn exam this year, and try to get a third place in the imperial examination, so that our school will have a good story about the third place. ”

It turned out that Liu Nenggan, the prefect of Kunzhou, was also a top student who won the third place in the imperial examination.

Therefore, Zhang Bangchui received a letter of introduction from Liu Nenggan, the governor of Kunzhou, and went to the capital city of Kunzhou a month in advance.

Because next month is the autumn examination.

The prefect has come to visit, and the emperor has issued an edict that some of the craftsmen who will build the imperial memorial archway are from the Ministry of Works of the prefectural city, some are from the Ministry of Works of the county government, and additional workers will be recruited from several surrounding villages.

Songjia Village naturally had to hold a big banquet.

All the gentry and wealthy families in the county came to congratulate.

The county magistrate naturally followed the prefect Liu Nenggan at his beck and call. The county magistrate's wife and his daughter, Wang Leling, also arrived.

Also coming at the same time was the flower fairy Xue Feifei.

The old Hanlin's daughter-in-law is here too.

Someone also came to the Li Family Clinic. It was a strange woman who came with Sister Li Wan, who looked reluctant.

At the entrance of Songjia Village, there were many horse-drawn carriages parked in the distance.

Because the people from the Ministry of Works chose a location one hundred meters away from the entrance of 깊 village as the location for the archway.

The four big characters "Imperial Archway" bestowed by the emperor himself had already begun to be carved.

These carriages were parked far away on the roadside and did not come in, all to show respect for the emperor.

In front of the imperial calligraphy, he dismounted and walked.

When the old patriarch saw this scene, he knelt in the ancestral hall and cried bitterly.

"Ancestor, did you see that? Our Song family is different. Our Song family has risen in status. Ancestor, the successor I chose is a good one. Please bless our children to have a bright future!"

The village held a grand banquet to entertain the prefect and the families of the gentry and officials, accompanied by Li Dong and Song Jinxiu.

A flowing banquet was held at the entrance of the village to entertain people from the surrounding villages who came to congratulate. The old patriarch took the initiative to accept the job of accompanying the guests.

Song Chunsheng wanted to let him and the prefect sit on the chair, and he said, "I sit here for a reason. Only when I sit here will the neighbors feel that they are also valued."

Song Chunsheng said: "Then I will accompany Grandpa."

The neighbors and the village chiefs came over to take a look. Oh, the old patriarch was accompanying them in person, and the big boss of the Xiake Winery was also there.

Look, it's worthy of being the imperially bestowed archway village. High-ranking officials from the capital city have come, and the old patriarch of our village still thinks highly of us peasants.

OK, there is something here and there, everyone is happy.

In the village, male guests stayed at Li Dong's house, and female guests stayed at Song Jinxiu's house.

Some country gentry and landlords, when there was no room in the courtyard, set up tables on the street.

The dishes are still mainly fried. Ten dishes, plenty of portions.

Especially the cold autumn cucumber and soybean fried meat, which are served in large pots.

But Song Jinxiu was at the men's table with the prefect Liu Nenggan, who was giving a brief introduction to the production of soybean oil. Then he said, "The emperor has issued an order to allow us to supply soybean oil to the people of Kunzhou."

The emperor allowed Songjiacun's soybean oil to be supplied to the people of Kunzhou, which meant that the sales scope of Songjiacun's soybean oil was limited to Kunzhou Prefecture. The prefecture of Cangwu was under the control of the Ministry of Revenue.

Song Jinxiu said: "When soybean oil was put on the market, the people responded very well. But relying solely on our Songjia Village oil press, we can't meet the demand.

Sir Liu, it is very inconvenient to transport soybean oil. We would like to open an oil press in the city. I hope you will allow us. ”
