Not long after he got home, Liu Yi went out again.

In addition to going to the blacksmith to customize plowshares, he has more important things to do.

He was looking for fertilizer for his farmland.

Now in ancient times, to be precise, in the early Tang Dynasty, farming had the concept of fertilization and top dressing. Moreover, farmers mostly use manure, weed, wood ash, and river mud as fertilizers. However, ordinary farmers do not have so much manure, urine, and wood ash on weekdays. As for Lao Liu's family, they only burn some stalks and weeds in the field during autumn harvest every year. The results are very little.

Liu Yi went to He Bo’s house in the east of the village to customize twenty iron plowshares, and paid the deposit in advance. Then he went straight to Sanyuan County.

Sanyuan County is located in the northern part of Chang'an City, which is considered an affiliated county of Chang'an City. Although the area of ​​the county is not very large, it also accommodates nearly 10,000 people. Most of these people are merchants, officials, or hawkers. They all live in the county town and generally do not need to go to the fields to farm. Eat, drink, defecation, urination, and sleep in the county town.

Liu Yi's purpose this time is to make their "night fragrance".

Liu Yi used to think that farm fertilizer is the most environmentally friendly and most easily absorbed by crops among all fertilizers. It can not only regulate the nutrients of the land, but also change the structure of the soil and is the best choice for farming. Therefore, the residents of Sanyuan County are all fertilizer manufacturers in his eyes. They are all treasures.

Think about it, how much will the Lassa of nearly 10,000 people add up to a day, how much will it be in a month, or even a year. If it is done, it will be enough to give his thirty hectares of land and use it.

As for how to collect it, Liu Yi had already made plans in his mind.

To collect the "night fragrance" that the city people serp, of course, we need to find professional workers in the city.

Ye Xianglang is a very elegant title. If someone who doesn’t know, he would never have thought that such an elegant title would be a worker who is dedicated to cleaning up feces in various households.

In ancient times, people did not have a toilet or a well-developed sewer. Residents living in cities usually sat on the "mazi" to go to the toilet. "mazi" is a wooden barrel, commonly known as toilet, and was called "huzi" in the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, when they arrived in the Tang Dynasty, in order to avoid a ancestor named Li Hu of the Li family, they changed it to "mazi".

"Mazi" is an indispensable daily necessity for every household. Generally, there are one or two households, and there are ten to hundreds of large households. In order to facilitate everyone's life, every morning, when the sky is just dawn, dozens of Yexianglangs will push their dung trucks to collect them from door to door to clean up these filthy things that have been accumulated for a day.

Ye Xianglang can be regarded as a kind of public office. He is hired by the county government and can receive a certain amount of money every month. Therefore, many people are willing to do this industry.

Liu Yi came here for these Ye Xianglang. If the Ye Xianglang could send all the Ye Xianglang collected every day to his field, or stored it first, the crops in his field would not grow upwards.

Knowing that Ye Xianglang is under the unified management of the county government, Liu Yi came to visit the new county magistrate Li Zhide. It seems that Liu Yi has never seen him since Li Zhide took office. Now he is the county magistrate of Sanyuan County, and he is the largest in the whole county, so it is indeed time to have a relationship with him.

Liu Yiu waited outside the door for a short time, and was led in by the servants from Li Zhide's family.

Li Zhide was sitting in the main hall in the back hall in casual clothes, with a very kind expression. Liu Yiu saw that his age was similar to Wang Zhihong. He was both in his thirties and was in his prime.

After entering the house, Liu Yi took two steps faster, arrived in front of Li Zhide, bent over and bowed, "Little Min Liu Yi, pay homage to Li County Chief."

"You are Liu Yi?" Li Zhide looked at Liu Yi. When Wang Zhihong left, he mentioned Liu Yi a lot, saying that he was talented, scheming, and wise, and would be an amazing person in the future. Now it seems that Li Zhide couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Liu Yiyi was not tall and his appearance was just average. In addition, he was dressed as an old farmer, and he bent his waist at this moment, making it difficult for people to see something unique.

However, even so, Li Zhide dared not look down on him at all. He and Wang Zhihong were in the same subject and had been in contact for a long time. He knew very well about Wang Zhihong's character. Liu Yi was able to get Wang Zhihong's strong praise, so it must be different from ordinary people.

"Well," Li Zhide nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, please sit down, haha, we are meeting in private, don't be so reserved."

"Thank you, Lord Li, I know." Liu Yi bowed and thanked him, and then sat down on the chair next to Li Zhide's head.

Waving his hand to signal the servants to serve tea, Li Zhide said: "I often hear Lord Wang mention that Brother Liu is not only talented but also has excellent calligraphy skills, but also has an extraordinary achievement in veterinary medicine. When I see him today, Brother Liu is indeed a talented person. He deserves his name and is worthy of his name!"

"Mr. Li praised it. Yi is just a farmer's ear. He only knows how to cultivate the land and farm. How can he get Lord Wang? Lord Li praise it like this?" Liu Yi replied modestly.

Li Zhide didn't care, so he picked up the new tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "Brother Liu is too modest. Although Li didn't see Brother Liu's previous deeds with his own eyes, Lord Wang's words would never be wrong." After pausing, Li Zhide continued, "In addition, Lord Wang had cared about Li before leaving. If you have anything, just say that you can know Li and help, Li will naturally not ignore it."

"Thank you, Lord Li, for your kindness." Liu Yi bowed and thanked him, "I don't know that I really have something to do when I come here this time and want to ask Lord Li to help you."

"Oh?" Li Zhide raised his brows and said, "Brother Liu can make it clear that Li, who can help, will not stand by and watch."

Liu Yi stood up and bent down and saluted, "Xiaomin wants to ask Lord Li to transfer the employment relationship of Zhongye Xianglang of the county to Xiaomin. Xiaomin is willing to invest and sponsor."

"Ye Xianglang?" Li Zhide frowned. He didn't expect Liu Yi would mention such a dirty profession. He said, "Let's talk about it."

Liu Yi said: "Yexianglang is still in the county government office according to the arrangement, and Xiaomin will pay them the regular money to reduce the expenses for the county government office. Xiaomin only needs Yexianglang to deliver the night incense collected every day to the designated place of Xiaomin."

"Oh?" Li Zhide was a little interested. Someone paid for such dirty things. It was also fresh. He asked Liu Yiu, "I wonder where Brother Liu wants to send this night fragrance? What's the use of you bringing such dirty things?"

"Reply to the words of the adults," Liu Yiuan looked down upon him in his heart and replied: "The little people have thirty hectares of land, and they need fertilizer for long-term farming. The little people take those night fragrances for farming. Please let the adults agree."

Plowing the fields? It seems that he is really a farmer.

Li Zhide nodded. There was no need to think too much about such a small matter, so he answered: "How can I refuse such a mutual benefit between the two parties? I will continue to give it to you later. Brother Liu can rest assured."

"So, it's a blessing to Lord Li." Liu Yi bent over with a smile and thanked.
