312 Negotiating Terms
Old Madam Wang was naturally not stupid enough to hand the book to Old Master Hu and the others. Instead, she took out two farming techniques. One was a technique for cultivating fertilizer, and the other was to repair the land.
These two techniques looked ordinary at first glance, but the details on the types of materials used on the fields and the specific time stamps were different.
Old Master Hu and Village Chief Hu felt that perhaps the problem lay in these slight differences.
“Can these two techniques really increase the production of crops?” Village Chief Hu’s eyes were filled with surprise. Was it that simple?
“It’s naturally not that simple to achieve the effect of the Divine Rain.” Old Madam Wang smiled. “The Hu Family Village is our root, so if our family becomes rich, in the future, we will also manage the land in the village. I will teach them the remaining techniques one by one. In the future, we will naturally help the villagers.”
Old Master Hu understood what she meant. This meant that the Wang family would hold onto the most important skills. As long as they could let the Wang family live peacefully, the Wang family would not treat them badly.
Actually, this aspect had already been proven.
Old Master Hu immediately decided. “Madam Wang, don’t worry. The Wang family is also a member of our Hu Family Village. We won’t let others bully you.”
There was a deeper meaning behind his words, but there was no need to make things so clear in a conversation between smart people. It was enough to say this much.
After Old Madam Wang left, Village Chief Hu was still a little confused.
“If they hold on to these techniques at home, will it attract a fatal disaster? It shouldn’t be. Isn’t it just farming...” At this point, Village Chief Hu paused again. Ordinary farming techniques were definitely not something that needed to be kept a secret. For it to be called a secret, it definitely needed to allow them to produce much more crop yield per mu of land.
This would indeed make people jealous.
“Old Master, how should we arrange this?” Giving the secret farming techniques to the two of them was definitely asking them to replace reliable people, especially to concoct the fertilizer. They definitely could not let others know the specific method and steps.
Old Master Hu said, “These things were taken out of the general’s tomb, so it’s naturally a part of our Hu Family Village.”
Village Chief Hu suddenly raised his head. “Isn’t this from Old Madam Wang’s-”
“I said, it was obtained from the general’s tomb,” Old Master Hu emphasized.
Village Chief Hu was originally a little stunned. He thought that Old Master Hu had taken a fancy to someone else’s things and wanted to use such a method to take them for himself.
On second thought, he immediately understood. Only by saying this could they hide the secret better. In any case, their village had found the general’s tomb and did not intend to hide it from anyone.
What Village Chief Hu did not know was that Old Master Hu’s plan coincided with what Old Madam Wang had originally prepared.
Village Chief Hu went to replace a few young people and asked them to be in charge of a portion of the fertilizer. Then, he would concoct the final fermentation himself.
The preparation process was not very complicated. What was important was that after making the fertilizer, they had to wait for a period of time. It could not be too early or late. Otherwise, the effect would be greatly reduced.
The village chief’s wife returned from another house and saw the village chief standing in a daze around a pile of soil in the courtyard. She asked in surprise, “Husband, what are you doing? You’re digging so much soil at home. Are you planning to sell it?”
Originally, the village chief’s wife was just joking, but these words reminded Village Chief Hu.
That’s right. If their fertilizer was really effective, could they sell it to the other villages?
Not only could they help the other villages increase their harvest, but they could also earn a large sum of money. Wouldn’t the construction of the village be even better in the future?
Village Chief Hu immediately told Old Master Hu about this idea and Old Madam Wang.
Old Master Hu and Old Madam Wang agreed with this method, but they had to experiment on their own fields first to prevent themselves from missing anything.
