Chapter 42 Taiyi Zhongnan Cloud Moves in Eight Directions (Five)

Li Zhi should say that he was still a pragmatic emperor. But Chang'an is the face of the country after all, and there is nothing he can do except this year of the great wilderness.

Therefore, the majority of Huangzhuang Farms are around Chang'an, either the private estates of various major families. In addition, the water conservancy is developed, and even the current drought is still very beautiful. Therefore, Li Wei also went to a farther place, not far from Zhongnan Mountain.

There are fewer ditches, and there are still some large families, but ordinary people have more farmland.

Li Wei was riding a horse, but he was not very good at riding, but he didn't marching and fighting, so he needed the horse to run with all his strength, so he was so peaceful. Bier was almost the same as him, because he was timid and riding on the horse, his face turned a little white. After a while, he was close to Mount Zhongnan, and the mountains were covered with green green. The tourists on the road towards Mount Zhongnan were burning.

But he wants to do the important business. Even if he runs away, he should do good things for the people. If he doesn't run away, he will strive for peace and become the emperor. Then these people are his subjects, the country is his country, and he should do the important business.

He looked around and rushed towards a plowing field along a path. When he got closer, he got off the horse. The people were not officials, so he went on holidays. Of course, once a year on the Cold Food Festival, some people still had a rest. However, there were still hardworking people who began to continue sowing and farming on the plowed ridges. What surprised Li Wei was that he actually saw many farmers using the new plow. Of course, some people thought about the benefits of him, and then said the prince and the like, and praised it all, and even the ghosts and gods came out.

Even though Li Wei's skin was still thick, he couldn't help but blushed with praise.

Then he looked at the seeds, one was millet, one was sorghum, and the other was soybean. Li Wei unexpectedly saw that there was a field where people were sowing seeds and rice seeds! But if you don’t need to plant seeds and throw them, the harvest also made him very suspicious.

Even millet, sorghum and beans need water. I paid attention to it and saw many irrigation tools. There were hand-turned overturns, foot-pedal overturns, ox-pulled overturns, and a continuous tube made of big bamboo. This place is relatively remote, and there are still many ditches. There is a canal that has been dug for two or three years. The mud on the ridges on both sides is still fresh. This also shows that the imperial court attaches importance to water conservancy. However, the situation in many ditches is not optimistic, and most of them are dry.

He was not as proficient in ancient scriptures as those great scholars, even though he was a lecturer, he was even more unfamiliar with the system. He was not even proficient in agriculture. But since he was a child, he grew up in the countryside, and at that time the countryside was still very backward. He was not an expert, and he participated in labor and worked in the fields when he was a teenager, at least he was not a layman.

For example, this water truck may have made great progress in the Tang Dynasty than the Han Dynasty, but it may not be the best. For example, the design of overturning, rotating shaft, vertical wheel, and horizontal wheel is very rough and the precision is insufficient. A water truck only has one set of wooden gears, which has very low water pumping efficiency and is laborious.

Looking at the man who was pumping water with his hands turning around and turning around, his head was sweating and his mouth moved. Finally, he held back and came out a new plow, which was spreading rumors. Another water truck came out. How could he let it go?

Continue to observe, there are many places where there are large areas of vacant space. There is no need to ask about this, but it is to cultivate "ground power". Without fertilizer, I have to take turns to plough it. I also used wood ash and livestock fertilizer, but very little. The wood ash mainly comes from the output of cooking, which is rich. The key is that the fields are wide. In the later places where farmers are densely populated in the future, there are less than acres of land, but now it is often several acres or dozens of acres. After the distribution, it becomes scarce. There is even less livestock fertilizer, and many poor people lack livestock and use manpower to pull plows to plow the land.

I stood up and pondered for a while. The fertilizer was indeed a bit difficult to solve. I recalled the farm fertilizer, wood ash, and fermented fertilizer. Finally my eyes lit up. But I still didn't make a sound. I went down the field and looked at the seeds sown. I actually saw some of the seeds that were not very good.

He was watching, but the farmers didn't pay attention, and they thought these rich children were bored and watching them have fun.

After watching it for a while, I knew it in my heart, so I started chatting with a farmer.

There is also some fermentation. Sometimes some wormwood and ferment it in the edible pit and make it into fertilizer. But when it comes to red flowers and plants, they are confused. Fortunately, they are prepared, so Li Wei quickly changed the words, Zi Yunying and Fei Lian, who knows this. Some farmers even use tender grass heads as vegetables.

I was speechless about this because Li Wei had eaten it in his childhood in his previous life. Later I realized that it was toxic. This crop is widely distributed, mainly on both sides of the Yangtze River, but it is also available in Guanzhong, North China. Regardless of the yield, these lands are idle anyway, and in "turning farming", God knows which year it will be, relying on some nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulated from rainwater and dust to restore the ground force? Planting safflower flowers and plants is definitely better than idle.

The same is true for beans. They only know how to grow them, they are grain, and even know how much land they are. Not to mention, if the yield of these idle land is very low, the nitrogen fertilizer accumulated is ultimately better than idle ones.

Sowing is also a problem. If you scatter the seeds directly into the ground like this, you will definitely not bring a nutritional bowl to breed seedlings. You are afraid of trouble. Cultivating seedlings in small fields and moving them in large fields will definitely grow better than the current crops and yield higher. Of course, due to root system problems, transferring them in wheat and other crops will definitely not work.

At this time, two seasons were also released, and many fields had green and yellow wheat. However, they lacked water and had poor growth. In a few fields, one in the east and one in the west made Li Wei wonder if he could recover the seeds. Some farmers also made small pits in the gaps between the wheat fields and planted sorghum beans.

He also knows that good seeds are used, but because of the wide planting and thin harvesting, at least for him, this term is used to describe it. He only uses a good-growing crop as seeds, and they are selected in the form of seeds. No wonder Wang Rong drilled a hole in his plum core before selling it.

As for the large-scale hybridization technology, I have never heard of single plant seed selection and salt water selection before. This is also the idea that wide planting and thin harvesting restricted farmers' ideas. When he thought of salt water selection, he thought of another thing. Now salt is really expensive, three cents per pound of salt, and four to five cents better. But he weighed the current one pound, which is likely to be less than half a pound of later generations. So after returning from the East Market, he checked the relevant documents and found that he had not thought of drying salt in this era, but boiling salt appeared. But it was mainly pool salt, and there were well salt in a few places. With such expensive salt, who would be willing to use salt water to select seeds?

But is that true?

I changed my place and chatted with a farmer who seemed very experienced again, but the result was still the same.

In fact, these methods, except for water wheels, most of the "Qimin Yaoshu" record, such as the single-choice list of seeds, and the water selection before spring plowing, only fresh water is used, and it is obvious that many unfull seeds cannot be eliminated. For example, the record of "The method of beautiful fields is better, mung beans are better, small beans are second to quash". I deliberately read this book yesterday. I was still wondering, because there are many agricultural knowledge recorded in it, so why is the yield so low?

I guessed it in my mind that a few people have used a certain method and realized the benefits. But they have not been standardized and promoted. One thing can be proved that the "Qimin Yaoshu" has already explained that using bean rotation to replace idle fields, but what about now?

Take a look at the many large open spaces around. Although there is a lack of water source, some open spaces are on the edge of the ditches, which can illustrate the problem.

Of course, not all the things written in it are correct, most of them are correct, and luckily, I know that a very small number of them can be improved, or they are wrong, or many of them do not know whether they are right or wrong.

But how can we convince parents or all the prime ministers to promote the knowledge in "Qimin Yaoshu" nationwide on a large scale? Not to mention correcting some of the contents in the middle again.

After circling again, I kept thinking in my mind. It was noon. I sat on the edge of the field with the prepared Hu cakes and some side dishes, and started eating with the guards and Bier. Because I was thinking about things, I even frowned when I was eating.

Bier asked, "Your Highness, have you come up with a solution to the drought?"

I feel dizzy and solve the drought. Although I am not an expert, I still have one or two ways to increase the yield. Is it possible to solve the drought?

Don’t talk about Kanerjing. Although everything was behind in this era, we cannot underestimate people’s wisdom. Just like the Longshou Canal, built in the Western Han Dynasty, passed through more than ten miles of Shangyan Mountain, then built with a tunnel shaft to dig out a well more than 40 feet deep, and the water flowing underground. In fact, this method is Kanerjing.

That was the Western Han Dynasty, let alone the Tang Dynasty?

Don’t say that he doesn’t have that great ability, he just has the ability to build a plane and artificial rainfall, which can resolve the drought in such a vast arid area?

"No, it doesn't rain all over the world, and I can't help but be helpless. I'm thinking about something else. Do you still remember that I looked through "Qimin Yaoshu" yesterday in order to check it out today?"

"Remember, I took it from the bookshelf for you."

"Then do you still remember what you said to Mr. Dai at a banquet, and the yield was too low."

"Remember, but Mr. Dai is right. Compared with the Han Dynasty, our dynasty's grain yield per mu has been nearly twice as high."

"Since our dynasty can increase the grain output, why can't we continue to increase?"

"But that's so hard."

"It is up to man to do things, just like a lonely disease, which is difficult to cure. But isn't it getting better now after training?"

"Your Highness, you are such a good prince."

"Jiang Siqiu's words are extremely true," because he left the city, he brought ten guards over and said several guards together.

My heart is broken.

What other officials inspected was doing superficial work, and everyone understood it. But the prince inspected the people, and it was really inspected without any comments. When he arrived in the fields, he was not only looking at it, but also asking, but now he was thinking. Can you figure out a solution? That's the same thing. But this intention is commendable.

"Don't praise you, the people expect so much about the orphan, but they are powerless and uneasy. They always want to give their rewards."

Speaking of this, the sun was a little hot at noon, and a lot of sweat came out of his forehead. Bier wiped him with some concern and said, "Prince, you have seen it and asked, let's go back to the palace."

Seeing her concerned and serious expression, the warm spring breeze blew on the ridge, and the slight fragrance of virginity on her body, Li Wei was a little moved.

Spring is deep, and people always have a little thought. There are many girls who make him moved, such as Xiangxue, Hualiu, who is still in the East Palace, or the little hot girl from the Xu family, but she has many concerns. Even Yang Min also has one concern, but she may not be able to understand her heart.

But Bier won't have any problems.

Is Bier still a little younger? It seems that she is not young. Besides, in this era, everyone gets married, has sex and has children at the age of 12 or 13…

He was thinking randomly, but he replied, "Since you've come out, let's turn it around."

I calmed my mind and looked at the endless fields, and thought to myself. It was not easy to do, such as this red flower or bean, which can only be seen in several years. It is impossible to plant a season of red flower and plant this year, and then another season of soybeans, and then produce ten stones per mu next year, which will shake the world and quickly translate it into it. If this theory is to attract the attention of the entire country, I cannot worry about it. I am afraid it will take decades to make it recognized.

It's so difficult. Now, what's going on with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium? Well, even if the demon Li Chunfeng, who had just passed away, stood in front of him, he wouldn't believe it.

However, some of them can still be used. Originally, there were many imperial villages outside Chang'an City, parents, and even grandfather Li Shimin, who put agriculture first. If he stood at the counter and shouted, the censor would probably be able to kneel all the way from Tai Chi Palace to Dongshi. However, no minister could speak when participating in agriculture.

With this convenience, I can grab the time now and come to a nutritional bowl to raise seedlings, irrigate the fields with water, and there are not many red flowers and plants outside Chang'an City, but many of them grow at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and let the people eat them as wild vegetables, or as a prescription for dispelling wind, clearing heat and promoting wind. He was the crown prince, and with the order, he would collect a lot, or deliberately let someone carry the bean branches and put them in the fields together. When the seedlings grow and the fields are dried, the green manure will be almost fermented. Then use some scientific methods to plant them.

Don’t do too much first. As long as you take good care of it, you will see the effect. If your parents don’t promote it, there will always be people nearby who are curious and imitate it. But he is very concerned. It’s better to have a slightly higher yield. If you create a four-stone field and five-stone field, it will cause a sensation in the world... and if you serve it properly, it’s not impossible.

Really worried...

The identity of this prince...

At this moment, a man rode his horse and rushed over quickly, came close to him, turned over and dismounted, looked at Li Wei and asked, "Your Majesty, can the prince?"

The guard immediately alerted, Li Wei waved his hand to stop him and said, "That's right."
