When Chu Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up, "This is a good idea, let's go back and make arrangements." His eyes fell on Yao Changsheng again and said, "Have you copied all the books you have found in the Pingyang government office these days? Send them back together when you leave."

"There are so many books that can't be copied at once, so I can get as much as I copy them." Yao Changsheng said to him with a smile on his face.

"Let us tell me that you can take all those books if you don't copy them." Chu Jiu waved his hand and said carelessly, "No one seems to read them except you who are addicted to books as if they are alive."

"It's impossible not to copy it! Those books are all moldy and the words are blurred." Yao Changsheng said with a look of distress.

Chu Jiu chuckled and said, "There is nothing to do about this. Most of the rebels love gold, silver and jewelry more, and few like books."

So the bookstore in this yamen is covered with thick dust. The door has not been opened for a long time and the room is damp and wet. How can it not get moldy?

"Books are much more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry." Yao Changsheng looked at him with deep eyes and said, "These gold, silver and jewelry are a little more abundant. But books are learned and a little more. People say that half of the Analects of Confucius dominates the world."

When Chu Jiu heard this, he tugged at the corner of his lips and smiled. He was just turning around and trying to persuade him to learn! "We will read this book now if we have time."

"Is there anything else?" Yao Changsheng asked looking at him.

"It's gone, you're busy!" Chu Jiu looked at him and smiled.

"I will find someone to take responsibility for this pest control."

Yao Changsheng stood up and left the general's mansion, rode back to the military camp.

Chu Jiu watched him leave, and he felt relieved. It would be better to bring his wife, but reality does not allow it.

Chu Jiu didn't want the guess to come true, but he also knew that this was a luxury.

For them, they can only be prepared.

Chu Jiu looked at the letter in his hand and arranged it. When he got busy, he had no time to think about it.

When the spring flowers bloom, when the farms are busy with spring plowing, there are fewer people and animals in the farms, so there are less manure.

When applying fertilizer, you have to find another way. Burning weeds is too dangerous. The dry things are dry and windy in spring. It will be bad if the wildfires are caused.

Tao Qini prepared the thick fallen leaves in the forest, and after the rotten and fermentation of the winter, it was the best fertilizer.

Especially those deposited over the years, fertilizer is the best.

It really depends on the mountains and the water to eat water.

However, few people came to these places, and the carriage could not enter, so they had to carry the shoulder pole to the carriage and drag it to the fields.

It’s very hard, but to increase production and harvest, no matter how hard it is, it’s worth it!

While the rest of the farm were busy fertilizing the farmland, Tao Qini was burning a fire to hatch eggs.

With previous experience, her feeling is that she is a thermometer, which controls the temperature within a controllable range, and this time the survival rate has been greatly improved.

Tao Qini looked at the broken shells of the kang, and the yellow and fluffy little chicken was so happy that she couldn't stop talking.

Newly-shelled chicks need to maintain a constant temperature to promote the absorption of yolk.

The first-time shelled chicks are small, delicate, short fuzzy, low thermal insulation ability, and incomplete body temperature regulation. It will take a month before they can be gradually completed.

"This sound is really noisy." Shen stood outside the door and shouted loudly, "Can I go in and take a look today?"

The newborn chicks came in, afraid that they would scare them or freeze them. Shen Shi and Tao Shiwu just looked at the situation inside through the hazy window, listened to the chirping sounds, and knew that they were all alive.

"Come in! It's already a 'full moon'." Tao Qini looked at the door and raised her voice, "I should be prepared, I'm going to release it."

When Tao Shiwu and Shen heard this, they immediately pushed the door open and closed the door.

When the two looked at the little chickens wrapped around the kang, Tao Shiwu said excitedly, "These are all hatched by you."

"Yes!" Tao Qini looked at him with a smile and said, "How is it?"

"The hatching of eggs is all about the hens, you... you actually succeeded." Tao Shiwu looked at her and felt incredible.

"What's the matter? It's not difficult to prepare well." Tao Qini said relaxedly at them with a smile on her face.

"It's so easy to say, don't look at how many times I failed before." Shen said with heartache at her, only when my mother saw it, she knew how much effort she had put in.

I guard the kang day and night, and the temperature is too high or too low, so I can't stand it to death.

I couldn't help her, so I could only watch her round cheeks sinking.

"Mom, all the hard work is worth it." Tao Qini took her hand and rubbed it gently.

"You're so hard, we can't help even if we're anxious?" Shen raised her eyes and looked at her curiously, "You can teach Erniu and the others this matter, or you can share the burden!" He lowered his voice, "You're still afraid that your disciples will starve to death!"

"Mom, what are you saying? I am still in the exploratory stage and have failed so many times. Look at my records, they are all so thick." Tao Qini spread her thumb and index finger, "So thick!" said with a smile, "If you succeed this time, you will naturally pass on your experience. In addition to raising it ourselves, we can also sell chickens." He smiled and said, "When the chickens grow up, we will have more eggs. We can fry, cook, steam, and pickle salted eggs..."

"You! Three words cannot be separated from eating." Shen said, shaking his head and laughing at her.

"It's not for eating, why did I do that much effort?" Tao Qini said with her eyebrows and eyes curled up at them.

"You can put them in the chicken coop now!" Tao Shiwu asked as he looked at her.

"Wait! The temperature outside is not very stable." Tao Qini looked at them and thought about it.

"You will be the same as you say." Tao Shiwu immediately said when he heard this, "This hatching of the chick is just the first step. The chicks need to be cared for when growing up safely."

"I think you are so troublesome, so it's better to let the hen come. It's quite easy for the old hen to hold her nest." Shen said again after hearing this.

"Mom, if you want a hen, the mortality rate is also high, and it's not as good as me!" Tao Qini looked at her and said seriously. "Hans hatching chickens seem simple, but they are very cumbersome and troublesome." After pausing, he said, "Don't look at how many times I failed, the success rate of this hen hatching chickens is not high. Not 100% successful. Some experienced old hens have higher success rate of hatching chickens, while some may not be hatched even if a single chick is."

"Is it as difficult as you said?" Shen looked at her in disbelief and said, "I just need to just look at the hens that have been lying on the eggs."
