scientific farming

All the walls are planted, of course not.Not to mention that Song Wen is a poor ghost with a lot of debts, he can't do so much, even if there are people living in the house, he can't do it.

What's more, in ancient times, the urine of humans and animals was used for fertilization, which has a strong smell, and if it is exposed to the sun, it can even faint people.In addition, whether it is flowers, vegetables, or grain, it is easy to attract insects.For this alone, if the walls are planted, Song Wen and Ah Mian will not be able to live in this back house.

Ah Er was very skeptical, Song Wen just didn't want to live there, and wanted to move directly to the General's Mansion.

"Master Song, if all the walls are covered with that kind of cabinets, then the vegetable field on your side may be blocked, and the vegetables will not grow well." Ah Er thought for a while, and finally found the outer wall The loopholes on the inner side are exhorted by presenting the facts.

Song Wen went over and squatted beside the vegetable field, and directly said with his hands: "Do it from here to the top, and leave the bottom empty, so as not to block the sun."

Ah Er: "..."

"But let's put it here first, and finish the inner wall first."

Song Wen put away his unreliable look, patted the south wall, moved a little bit later, avoided the side where the window was open, and only planned on the empty wall in the center, "First, start from here. made on a block wall.”

He directed Ah Mian to get the schematic diagram that he had scribbled on when he was writing the list of the Ministry of Rites, spread the drawing on the ground, pointed to it and said: "First, set a large area, this is near the room where Ah Mian and I live. Don’t do it on the whole wall, it’s easy to attract people. Just do it in the middle.”

What Song Wen planned here is a modern green wall.

"Make a large square to fix the frame, and then make it like the cabinets in the medicinal materials shop. Only leave at least two feet for the height of each drawer. This wall can be used to make three layers of cabinets."

Ah Er said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to make such a high drawer. Even if it is made, it will be very difficult to push and pull."

"It doesn't need to be so high, it only needs to be about the same height as the pharmacy. Generally, it will not be pushed or pulled, and it will be opened directly." Song asked, "I am only worried that after the drawer is filled with soil, the bearings will not be able to support the weight. It's going to fall all over. I figured, putting a triangular piece of wood under the open drawer would take some of the weight, but..."

Song Wen was still worried.

It doesn’t matter if he grows some vegetables, but he also wants to plant peanuts and lettuce. After these grow, their weight will increase again. The Dali Dynasty has strict iron control. Whether it can be supported until it is fully mature is a big question The problem.

Ah Er also thought about it, and suggested: "How about replacing the bearing with iron?"

At this moment, he had forgotten that Song Wen was a poor ghost, and he was only thinking about how to do the carpenter's work well.

Song Wen shook his head, looking at the empty white wall with a distant expression, he asked Ah Er, "Ah Er, do you know how many people in the capital have no land?"

Ah Er shook his head.

Song Wen didn't look at him, but continued to stare at the white wall and said, "They have no land and no money, so they save some money by helping others. If they can grow vegetables and food on the empty walls of their homes, that would be a good thing for them But if we need to use iron for our bearings, do you know how much iron costs in Dali? Such a big white wall is not just a cabinet, except for the rich, who can afford it!"

Song Wen sighed and said, "Rich households do not lack such a wall of food."

Before Ah Er joined the army, he met quite a few scholars, including those in his village.In my memory, those people didn't care about the income at home or the farm work in the field, they only held a book.I joined the army later, so I didn't have a chance to see him.Followed the general back to the capital, but met many champions and second places. They stayed in the capital as officials, and they were doing things between pen and ink, talking about important national affairs, but Song Wen was very different.

Song Wen had no money, couldn't even afford food, and had been an official for less than a month, and he already owed 300 taels of silver to the General's Mansion.

But look at the back house of the yamen, fields have been reclaimed near the edge of the outer wall, and various seasonal vegetables have been planted, which are crisp, green and lush.If Ah Er hadn't clearly entered from the main entrance of the yamen, went all the way through the lobby and entered the inner house of the second hall, he would never have imagined that this was actually a yamen.

And Song Wen stood in this "vegetable field" and asked what would happen to the people who had no land in the capital?In fact, not only in the capital, but also in the villages, there are many people who have no land. If they can really grow on the wall, they will at least have a stutter.

Immediately, Ah Er's whole body was full of strength, his eyes were bright, flickering in the dark.

"Master Song, why don't we make this wall first, wait for the drawers to be filled with soil, and then consider how to strengthen the bearings." Ah Er gestured, "Maybe the bearings won't be needed, the first thing is that we're thinking about it, since we don't It needs to be pushed and pulled, and it can be fixed, and since it is fixed, there must be a way.”

Song Wen smiled and said, "It makes sense. You help me figure out how much wood I need."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of someone coming, and his footsteps were heavy.Looking up, he saw Xiao Lue approaching from the front, carrying a big fir tree on his shoulders.People turned in, and the whole big fir tree entered the back house, Xiao Lue shook his shoulder suddenly, and the fir tree fell to the ground with a bang.

Xiao Lue walked a few steps here, pointed to the big fir tree on the ground and said: "Master Song, I remembered that I still had some wood that I had prepared earlier, and it was not used up at that time. Since you need wood here, send it to me. Come, save yourself and go find it later.”

Song Wen rubbed his nose in embarrassment, his long eyelashes pressed down: "Thank you, General!"

He didn't say anything, but actually asked Xiao Lue about the carpenter, thinking that the carpenter Xiao Lue would give it to him, so he heard that the wood is expensive, so he must give it away.He hasn't mentioned it yet, Xiao Lue took the initiative to send it over.Looking at the good-looking general in front of him, and a very kind heart, Song Wen felt so ashamed.

Xiao Lue didn't say much, just asked: "Is it planned? The rest of the wood will be delivered by Gou Tou. I first sent the fir you mentioned, and you can see if you need it. They will send the wood later. Come on, just to help with the sawing, let me help you. If you ask the yamen servant to do it, I'm afraid those censors will have another book for you."

When he said this, what he actually thought was that if he was recruited by the censor, Song Wen would definitely resign from office again.There have always been three requests from the imperial court to resign, and the emperor must agree to it.Although it was all aimed at the old minister, Xiao Lue decided to take precautions.

When I was in the General's Mansion, only listening to Song Wen, I felt that there must be a lot of movement in the yamen, Xiao Lue felt uneasy, and was afraid that Song Wen would take another chance to resign, so he personally moved a fir tree and came to the town. .As for the wood, it was definitely not left over from the general's mansion, but he bought it from his colleagues' house by force.

Song Wen didn't hear the meaning behind Xiao Lue's words, but suddenly thought of a way to make money, and said happily: "How is the relationship between the general and his colleagues? I recently heard that Li Xiaowei's home in the capital garrison is under renovation. remodeling..."

Xiao Lue's heart skipped a beat, his face was stiff, and the corner of his lips curled up on his usually expressionless face.This, is this discovered that he forcibly bought wood from Xiaowei Li's house?How did you find out?

He's a little flustered right now!
