38. Chapter 38
After resting for a while, Prince Jing led the team back to the farm. Looking at the mountains of sweet potatoes and beckoning Lin Huaide to come over, Lin Huaide was a little stunned, because he was afraid that the prince would not be able to answer the question, so he instinctively pulled Lin Zimo over with him. Prince Jing looked at the two of them interestingly and asked, "Lin Huaide, why are you pulling your younger son over and not your talented eldest son?" The beads of sweat on Lin Huaide's face "crackled", he was already nervous, and he was tired for another day, so he spoke a little unfavorably: "Back to the prince, the youngest son of the Xiaomin family has always been interested in miscellaneous books, and he still knows about these agricultural matters, these are all handed over to me by Xiao'er - mine." â
All right! was nervous, and told the truth, but fortunately, he kept an eye on it and didn't say what Lin Zimo had made up before. King Jing was even more interested: "Oh, Xiao Xiucai, in which book did you read this?" "Being proficient in these at a young age can be described as an alternative genius.
Lin Zimo hurriedly bowed down and said: "The student's family was quite well-off four years ago, and my grandfather had a lot of books. Later, the family changed, and these books could not be found. King Jing shook his head, and he didn't know if he believed it: "It's a pity." As he spoke, he walked to the ground and reached out and grabbed a handful of soil: "I see that the fertility of your land is good, is there any trick?" â
Lin Zimo admired it a little, he was dressed so cleanly and exquisitely, and he didn't care about the dirty dirt in the eyes of the nobles, which showed that this was not a straw bale prince who could only make money. At the moment, he said: "The manure from my pig farm, the manure of chickens and ducks, these are all good fertilizers. â
King Jing frowned: "What you said can't be promoted on a large scale, and it is difficult for ordinary poor families to raise a pig and a few chickens and ducks." Lin Zimo thought about it, he definitely couldn't make chemical fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, and he had to pay attention to something else: "There is also a kind of green manure that can also be used." The prince turned around and looked at him with shining eyes: "Oh, let's talk about it, this is all a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." â
Lin Zimo pointed to the sweet potato vines piled up on the ground: "This kind of is fine, generally you can't use these at home, you can plough the land directly into the soil when you can plough the land, it is a good fertilizer; alfalfa grass planted in the field by my pond; There is also a crop that we call vetch here, the scientific name of the vetch; There are also oilseed rapes in the south, which do not pick the land or the climate, and some can be grown in the winter near the south. When it is tender, it can be eaten by people, regardless of the livestock raised by the tender family, it can be eaten, and it is plowed into the ground, and the fertility is very great. â
He pointed to the place where corn and soybeans were planted in the distance: "Corn and soybean interplanting can not only increase yield, but also soybean fertilizer is also very good, so you don't have to worry about spending land in two seasons a year, which should also be confirmed after this autumn." â
A slight smile appeared on the face that Prince Jing had been holding up: "Okay, it's still the same sentence, as long as your Lin family is successful, this king will definitely give you credit." Pat off the soil in your hand: "There is one more thing, since the sweet potato production is so large, I want to promote it in your county, keep half of your family, and let the Qingshui County Government purchase the rest and distribute it uniformly." As he spoke, he rushed to the scholar who was waiting on the side, and the scholar immediately shouted, "Qingshui County stepped forward." "The Qingshui county magistrate, who has been paying attention to this, immediately ran over.
Lin Zimo grinned, this year's sweet potato vermicelli was still nervous, and his eyes turned, his own money was supported by a workshop, which was absolutely enough, and his own small family had no background at all. The two elder brothers will go on a career in the future, and their reputation can't be bought by how much money they can't buy, this is a good opportunity! Busy with Jing Wang Ye and the county officials said: "Lord, my lord, the student's family has always relied on the protection of the imperial court to have today's life, and now is the time for our family to serve, except for the left, the rest of the sweet potatoes are donated by our family for free." â
Prince Jing glanced at Lin Zimo up and down, and his cool face couldn't help but show appreciation. Even the chubby county magistrate secretly gave a thumbs up: this kid is too good at talking. Prince Jing turned his head to look at Lin Huaide, and Lin Huaide also nodded busily: "The meaning of the child is the meaning of our family." â
Lord Jing said "um" and said, "Okay, it's time to make a contribution to your family again." Qingshui County, can you hear clearly? These sweet potatoes donated by the Lin family, as well as the planting method, will be promoted free of charge in the county. He slapped the fan: "Remember, try not to use cultivated land, plant with thin alkaline land." "If it is successful, it can be promoted to the whole country, especially the green manure and fertile land method proposed by Lin Zimo, and the general land can increase the yield a lot.
Of course, Qingshui County agreed, where to find such a good thing: "Yes, the lower officials should do their best to handle this matter." Turning his head to look at Lin Huaide and his son: "Lin Huaide's family should be a model for my county, and I should report to Shangfeng." â
At that moment, truckloads of sweet potatoes were transported away, and it was getting dark. Ouyang Shaohua originally wanted to ask Prince Jing to go back to Ouyang Mansion to live, but who knew that Prince Jing would have to go to Lin Zimo's house: "I'll stay at Lin's house, it's not bad to be wild." Lin Zimo muttered in his heart: You are good, we are at fault, we are tired all day, and I will wait for you."
Facts have proved that Lin Zimo was wrong, the Ouyang family quickly sent more than a dozen cooks and brought a large cart of materials, King Jing lived in the front yard and did not disturb the Lin family, except for dozens of personal soldiers, the rest of the people were scattered in the villagers' homes, and Wang Ye Jing was not stingy, and each villager received a lot of silver rewards, and they were all happy.
In addition to the inconvenience of the Lin family, the food and drink were a lot more abundant. Although they were tired for a day, Lin Zihao and the two of them still studied unmoving, and the exam was in the autumn of next year, and Lin Zimo had no choice but to accompany him.
When it was almost evening, that is, at about ten o'clock in the evening, several scholars brought rice and red date porridge for supper, and the three of them drank it and prepared to rest. Xiaoshu whispered: "I heard that Prince Jing has been dealing with official business, and he hasn't rested yet, I thought that being a prince is just eating, drinking and having fun!" Lin Zimo said with a smile: "Of course, there are also princes who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, it seems that this prince Jing really does things for the people, which is not bad." â
Lin Zihao and Lin Zihan nodded solemnly: "We should take the prince as an example, if we can be an official and a half-post, and do things for the people wholeheartedly." Lin Zimo pouted, it's okay to do things with all your heart, but you have to come leisurely, right?
Prince Jing, who was admired by the brothers of the Lin family, was frowning, reading the message from the imperial brother. His name is Zhu Rui, the word Haotian, and the current emperor is a compatriot who is more than ten years old, helping the emperor's brother Shun LĂŹ to ascend to the throne, which has quite twists and turns. Although he is his own brother and has crowned himself as the prince's throne, he has to be taboo even if his brother has always believed in himself, but the emperor and nephew who will succeed to the throne in the future may not be able to live in a tone is the guarantee of longevity.
The imperial brother repeatedly asked him for help, but there was no way, so he received the conditions of secret help, collected information at home and abroad, and expanded the imperial brother's inner treasury by the way. And the information in front of me is about the placement of disabled soldiers in the army.
There are almost no big or small wars in Dahan every year, and there are more and more disabled soldiers, which has become the biggest burden on the country. The disabled person is not seen by a person, and the family behind him, in recent years, the state treasury has not even been able to take out the basic resettlement fee, and there was a small-scale mutiny in the first two years, although it was suppressed, but it was not well resolved, and the follow-up soldiers will no longer really contribute to the country, which will be the biggest disaster of the Han Dynasty.
The scholars who served King Jing came out with four this time, peace, safety, righteousness, and peace of mind, among which An Le also brought the stalk rice and red date porridge boiled in the kitchen, gently put it in front of King Jing, and said with a smile: "Lord should rest, I'm tired for a day, taste this rice porridge, although it is not as fine as the rice in our house, but it still has a little taste." â
