Chapter 148: New Farm Tools (Helmsman Plus Change)
"To tell you the truth, isn't it too much Lu lately? I'm telling you, this thing must be controlled, and if it is excessive, it will hurt your body. ”
Wang Mianhua suddenly spoke earnestly and admonished.
“……”
Zhang Xun blinked, then rolled his eyes fiercely, and said, "Can your thoughts be less dirty?"
"Hmm......"
Zhang Xun sighed, didn't bother to explain, waved his hand, and said a little lonely: "You don't understand." ”
Well, when he said this, I don't know why, he actually felt a little proud.
After all, after going through the initial period, when he slowly began to adapt to the identity of the Eagle King, his mentality relaxed a lot.
Which of you has the experience of actually controlling a kingdom?
Even if it's small.
But it's still a very special and rare experience.
Zhang Xun didn't take care of the cotton, dragged his sick body, and began to look for books on agriculture according to the bibliographic index in the store.
When you find a book, you naturally want to read it.
Of course, he didn't plan to solve the current problem by reading it himself, he just wanted to have a preliminary understanding of the problem he was trying to solve.
"According to the watchlist of the people below, the soil in the bridgehead area is good, there is not much water, but there is also little drought, and the range of food crops grown in these conditions is very wide. ”
"But the problem is that there are not many crops that can be grown on a large scale in the five countries. ”
Zhang Xun picked and found a few books on crops such as wheat and millet.
Through understanding, he knew that the varieties of food crops within the five countries were quite rich, but they could not be compared with the blue star.
For example, some plants such as sweet potatoes and cucumbers do not exist, and even if they do, they are in a state that has not been discovered.
Of course, there are also some plants that Blue Star does not have.
The main staple food crops are pretty much the same.
It is nothing more than wheat, corn and so on.
Zhang Xun made a special inquiry, there is rice, but it is only available in the south, and other kingdoms are not suitable for cultivation.
And within the five countries, the most widespread food is wheat.
For wheat, Zhang Xun only knows that there are spring wheat and winter wheat, and as for more, he does not know.
"If you want to increase food production, the most fundamental thing is breeding, but breeding is not a short-term thing that can be effective, it always takes a few years to study slowly, so breeding can be regarded as a long-term project, put it in the future. ”
"In addition to the quality of the seeds themselves, the main factors that affect the yield are planting technology, the mastery of the season, reasonable cultivation methods, advanced irrigation technology, and the ultimate killer tools such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides, as well as better farming machinery to improve productivity. ”
Zhang Xun thought about it for a while, and then spent the whole morning reading these books cursoryly, and made a simple plan.
In the afternoon, he drove to an agricultural college in Cheonan.
One of his former classmates was there, and through this Kansai level, he contacted a professor of agriculture.
As for what happened after that, there is no need to say more, just use the money to smash it.
In this era of money in which everyone is looking for money, Zhang Xun opened the way with banknotes, which went very smoothly, and there was an advantage to talking about money, that is, he saved him from racking his brains to make excuses.
In short, if you repay the request and the reward, someone will definitely accept it.
Not so much trouble.
"It's really neat to take the money and start doing things. ”
Putting down the phone, Zhang Xun couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't help but think of the days when he tried to find excuses in order to seek the help of a think tank, and sighed.
"Money can solve the problem of practicality, but when it comes to decisions about governance, money may not work. ”
Zhang Xun reminded himself, and then thought that the development of the game needed to be accelerated.
Things have a precedence.
There are so many things, we must sit in a row according to the priority, one by one, and solve them in a hurry.
In the next few days, Zhang Xun was busy with the things at hand on the one hand, and on the other hand, he worked hard to recover his physical condition.
A few days later.
After regaining eighty or ninety percent of his energy, he once again clicked on the active decision-making.
……
……
Sitting quietly on the bed, he finished reading Luke's memories of these days.
Zhang Xun dressed and washed unhurriedly.
Well, he was born in poverty and it was still difficult for him to adapt to the decadent and degenerate life of the feudal aristocracy for the time being.
For example, he is very uncomfortable with a bunch of beautiful girls helping him wash his face, brush his teeth and get dressed.
So he simply ordered toiletries to be placed in the room.
"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready. ”
Lancôme was still up early, standing by the door.
Zhang Xun didn't look at her, but looked at the face that was gradually becoming familiar in the mirror, then wiped the water droplets on his face, reached out and took out a piece of fresh paper with ink stains from the table, and said, "This matter, hurry up and explain it, don't delay." ”
"Yes, but Your Majesty ......"
"I'll go to dinner right away, okay. Zhang Xun sighed helplessly.
Lancôme's face flushed, a little embarrassed, but she was very happy to hear that His Majesty finally didn't skip meals willfully today.
It was quiet when eating.
Zhang Xun, who was accustomed to reading news information with his mobile phone while eating, was very uncomfortable for a while.
"At least it's good to have a morning newspaper to read. ”
When this thought came to Zhang Xun's mind, Luke's memory immediately reminded him that there was no such thing as a newspaper in the other world.
Although there was a basic printing method in the five countries, well, it was no longer engraving printing but began to use a scheme similar to movable type printing.
But this scheme still has great limitations, such as the damage of movable type, the quality of the ink is not high so that the mimeograph is very black and unclear, etc., of course, there is also an important problem, the literacy rate of the people in Yingyang is very low.
"It's really a problem everywhere, ink, go back to find the formula, it shouldn't be difficult, printing, or get a mechanical printing press as soon as possible, this still has requirements for metallurgical level. ”
Zhang Xun thought about this, and felt more and more that too many things he wanted to do needed a strong metallurgical foundation.
"The most important thing at the moment is agriculture. ”
Zhang Xun muttered, finished eating in a short time, and then Lancôme had already sent someone to bring Ruer and several other alchemists into the palace again.
Ruhr and the others have entered the palace many times, and there is no longer the initial panic and anxiety at this time.
When Zhang Xun walked over quickly, he saw several royal alchemists gathered together, talking in a low voice, with some excitement on his face.
They certainly had reason to be excited, because almost every summons of the king would provide them with some novel and magical knowledge of alchemy.
And today, the state of the alchemists is a little different.
When Lu Er and the others saw Zhang Xun coming, they immediately knelt down and saluted, and in addition to respect, there was also some fear that they had never felt before.
Not because of the fear of the king's power, but because of the fact that a very popular saying has slowly emerged in the country of the Aquila, that is, the reason why His Majesty has such amazing knowledge is actually because of the gift of the creator.
Well, it's the foolish remarks that Zhang Xun asked to preach about him getting divine enlightenment, Ying Yang getting the blessing of God, and the Western Realm being abandoned by their god of war.
I have to say, it worked.
The most intuitive thing is that Master Luer and others look at Zhang Xun and feel that in addition to his identity as a king, he has a mysterious and noble aura from the gods.
"Everybody, get up, you should know that I don't care much about these etiquette. ”
Zhang Xun said casually, and then said: "There are two things this time, one is for the second metallurgical plan, if you have any doubts, I will spend at most an hour to answer them, as for the second thing, I will talk about it later." ”
Although the alchemists were curious in their hearts, they still rushed to raise the questions in their hearts.
Although Zhang Xun is not a scholar specializing in metal material metallurgy, he has received a systematic theoretical education, and these days he has slowly re-learned the theoretical knowledge taught in school, and that seriousness has never been there.
Therefore, it is more than enough to answer the extremely superficial questions of these alchemists.
An hour flies.
Ruer and the others, who were still unsatisfied, could only stop asking questions, and carefully put the small notebook used to record Zhang Xun's answers in their hands close to their bodies, obviously so old, but they were serious like a primary school student when facing the knowledge spread by a higher level of civilization.
Zhang Xun took a sip of water a little tiredly, and then solemnly mentioned the second thing: "The war is over, and peace is restored, so there is no need for so many manpower and energy in terms of weapons for the time being, and I have a new task to hand over to you." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
"I need you to build a batch of farm tools, well, new!"
