Tang Jun and Zhu Yuan managed the greenhouse very well, and the seedlings cultivated were new and green, which made people feel refreshed. When the seedlings can be moved, they will be moved to the Zhuangzi in Nanwaifu and the suburbs of Beijing.

The prince put his energy into the garden, and he learned a lot of gardening skills and garden knowledge related to his later career with Mr. Zhong in a foreign land, and now he is familiar with and experimenting with these foreign knowledge. Baihuiyuan is the prince's own industry and his own home, and it makes sense to toss it.

Gardening and gardening are not the same thing. In general, the knowledge of gardening includes gardening. The garden technology is very complex, and it is very difficult to understand it systematically. Including floriculture, genetics, breeding, pathology, cultivation, meteorology, entomology, botany, plant physiology, as well as engineering drawing, garden design, garden architecture design, garden green space planning, etc., the design must also have the basis of sketching, watercolor, pen drawing that must be mastered in the design.

In a foreign land, students in this category are very popular, and it is easy to find a job after graduation, if you really don't want to find a job, it is also very profitable to find some vegetables and fruits on your own. Green food was promoted there, and a new variety of fruits and vegetables was developed.

But the prince is not learning these for himself, and the time is also very tight. According to Mr. Zhong's suggestion, he focused on the cultivation of flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees, and bought a lot of books on this subject. It is the knowledge and skills that are now profitable and affordable, as the saying goes.

Fortunately, the status of the prince is high, and he doesn't have to go to the court, he has plenty of time, not only does he not have to run around for food and clothing, but he also has the garden in the house and the big place in the Nanwai Mansion.

The prince planted flowers purely for the appreciation of the two ladies before, but now it seems that the flowers and trees in the garden are about to come in another use. These days he began to ponder and plan his two gardens. The garden of the inner house is no longer allowed to grow vegetables, and it is mainly necessary to use flowers; Nanwaifu should be mainly vegetable; As for fruit trees, there are some in the gardens of the inner house, and it is okay to give them to the masters and subordinates of the house to taste them, but it is far from enough to use them to sell fruits in business.

The prince also has two Zhuangzi, the Zhuangzi in the suburbs is 3,000 acres, all of which are planted with grain, which can be used as a test field in the future, and there are very few lands in Baiyangdian, only a small number of fruit trees are planted on a sloping land. The fruit trees in the garden and the fruit trees in Baiyangdian will be used as experiments in the future, and the grafting will be successfully spread out in a large area. It can be seen that the cultivation of flowers in the prince's garden is a strong point. Before going to a foreign land, the prince had already cultivated a variety of flowers common in the north in the garden. Returning from a foreign land not only brought back many kinds of flower seeds, but also brought back many kinds of flower books. Knowledge is power, it is energy. Both the master and the master have arranged for the prince not to participate in politics, which is God's favor for him! If he does not participate in politics, there will be no life-and-death struggle, and at the same time, he has also been given a large amount of time and energy to devote here, specializing in the study of flowers, vegetables, fruits, and grains. Although he can't compare with an exotic expert, he is also a great horticulturist in the Qing Dynasty. The prince started with more affordable roses.

Roses are light-loving, sun-loving, drought tolerant and cold-tolerant, and have low requirements for soil, with medium alkaline soil being the best. Fertile soils are more likely to thrive, with lush foliage and good flowering. The cultivation requirement is to fertilize frequently in summer, once every fifteen days or so, and water in time after fertilization to prevent seedlings from burning. Prune in autumn to prevent excessive growth and affect flowering and plant shape.

Roses should avoid low-lying and waterlogged terrain, and the lower leaves turn yellow and fall off and even the whole plant dies when waterlogged; During the rose flowering period, dry hot wind and soil drought are most avoided, and if there are water conservancy conditions, a bud irrigation can be carried out. There are two growth stops during the growth and development of roses: June to July is called summer hibernation, and November and December are called hibernation. At this time, no branches are formed, and the branches are not elongated. The summer hibernation period is the best pruning period, and the winter hibernation period can be combined with the application of base fertilizer and irrigation of overwintering water to lay the foundation for the stable and high yield of flower buds in the coming year. Native to China, roses have a long history of cultivation and are both excellent flowering shrubs and important spice plants. There are purple roses, red roses, white roses, double-petaled purple roses, double-petaled white roses, double-petaled roses have a rich aroma, excellent quality, and are widely cultivated in various places. The modern hybrid moon season is also called the rose, and the so-called rose is actually the modern moon season, with more than 100 species. There are white roses, red roses, blue roses, pink roses, light pink roses, yellow roses, two-color roses, etc., and most of the roses are new varieties improved and developed by using several common roses. According to the size of roses, they can be divided into four categories: large wheel species, medium wheel species, small wheel species, and vine species.

The rose is extremely fragrant and is known as the national fragrance. The fruit is encased in a receptacle and is oblate and spherical. It is relatively easy to propagate and cultivate roses, and propagation is mostly carried out by sowing, dividing and cuttings. Sowing should be in autumn, and it is better to use sand treatment. That is: mix a small amount of soil with sand, wet it with water, hold it into a ball, and scatter it into a grain. Then the seeds are washed and mixed into the sand, and in the sunny or semi-shady ground, dig a trench 60 centimeters wide and 80 centimeters deep, running east-west, and bury the sand mixed with the seeds into it, leaving pores. Dig out at the beginning of the following spring, and the best seeds are planted if there is a crack in the grain.

Dividing propagation is better in autumn. The first and two-year-old seedlings are separated from the old plant with some roots, and the wound can be disinfected to make it easy to survive. Cuttings are mostly done in July and August. Select two-year-old sturdy and full branches, cut 15 to 20 cm long nodes for cuttings, each cuttings with at least three leaf buds, the lower part is cut into a horseshoe oblique, and the upper part is parallel. Potted cuttings and furrow cuttings are acceptable. After cutting, it is necessary to shade and protect from the sun, and often sprinkle water to maintain a certain humidity and temperature, and it can take root as a new plant in about a month, and it can be transplanted after a year. Transplanting can be done in the ground or in pots.

Roses have the effects of strengthening the liver and stomach, invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, moistening the intestines and laxative, relieving depression and soothing the nerves, which can ease emotions, balance endocrine, replenish blood gas, regulate the liver and stomach, and have the effects of anti-inflammatory sterilization, relieve fatigue, improve physical fitness, and moisturize the skin.

Brewing method of roses: take three to five flower buds, brew them in boiling water, simmer for five minutes and drink, add honey or rock sugar to taste better. Rose tea ingredients: tea leaves, roses (tea leaves have green tea, Tieguanyin, Biluochun can be) processed into rose tea, according to personal taste take an appropriate amount of rose tea and add boiling water to brew. You can also put three jujubes, four roses, ten grams of wolfberries, and a few honey into a cup, add 300 ml of boiling water, soak for five minutes and drink. This method can replenish the moisture of the skin, and drinking it every day can not only make the skin smoother and more refined, but also improve the body's endocrine condition.

People with thirst, red tongue and less moss, and thin pulses should not drink for a long time and in large quantities, and pregnant women should not drink it many times.

The prince's systematic understanding of roses is still seen in exotic TV shows. I didn't know that it had so many medicinal properties and body-strengthening functions. It is to see a farmer in a Western country plant all his land with roses, and extract rose essence from roses, which is worth more than gold. It is a bit difficult to extract the essence under the conditions of the Qing Dynasty, but it is still possible to make rose tea, rose dew and body lotion. Therefore, I bought all kinds of rose cultivation techniques and various kinds of rose seeds, at least in the Baihui Garden, in the gardens of Nanwaifu and in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. If there are conditions later, you can buy land to build a rose garden.

In other palaces, because of the large number of people in the palace, most of the princes and princes bought land to grow food under various names. They also do not recognize how much higher the economic value of cash crops is than food. The technique of cultivating roses that the prince just learned from Mr. Zhong in a foreign land is much more affordable than those princes who only grow food.

Now is the summer hibernation period of roses, which is very suitable for pruning, so the prince puts a lot of energy into the garden, and goes to the garden every day to be busy. Several personal guards followed suit, and piggybacking also helped the prince.

There are not many varieties of roses in the Qing Dynasty, and if the seeds brought back by the prince are successfully cultivated, not only can women who like flowers enjoy it, but also a steady stream of economic benefits, but now there is not even a prototype, so take your time.

The effect of the prince's work is very slow, just like digging a well, digging and digging, and there will be no water for a long time, but once the water comes out, it will be endless. This is the case with fruit trees, where there is no fruit to eat in the first few years, and after a few years, there will be fruit to eat every year. Moreover, the fruit tree seeds brought back by the prince are the latest research results of foreign scientific research units. No chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, very traditional and advanced cultivation methods.

The prince also brought back many kinds of flower seeds, such as a bunch of red flowers, marigolds, zinnias, cosmos, cockscombs, wild goose red, caryophyllus, poppies, pansies, etc.; Root flowers include: chrysanthemum, peony, iris, hollyhock, daylily, sedum, etc.; Bulbous flowers such as lilies, dahlias, tulips, hyacinths, canna, tuberose, calla lilies, vermilion, narcissus, calamus, etc.; Aquatic flowers such as: lotus, water lily, king lotus, cattail, etc.; Orchid flowers such as Phalaenopsis, Cattelan, Cyllia grandiflora, Dendrobium, Orchid, etc.; succulent plants such as golden tiger, cactus, epiphany, arrow lotus, cactus, etc.; There are also indoor flowers such as Monarch Orchid, Begonia, Gerbera, Crane Hope Orchid, Ivy, Poinsettia, Spider Plant, Evergreen, etc. Like a bunch of red and marigold petunias are flowers that can decorate the garden, as well as special ornamental, medicinal,

In the more than ten years of the monastery, the prince has developed a calm and peaceful habit, no matter what he does, he is not impatient. Especially for raising flowers, it is most taboo to be impatient. What kind of flowers and what habits should be known by heart. The prince's reading began after returning to the world, but he was able to persevere and work tirelessly. Although when Fu Jin entered the palace, he often put "my prince is a rough man" and "my prince has not read any books", but in fact, he has been vulgar for more than 20 years, and the prince's knowledge is still not shallow. It doesn't matter if he is low-key, or if he is not publicized in front of others, he still looks like him on the outside, and he looks dignified. But in fact, this person already has a lot of stuff in his head. The one who treats him as a rough man is the coarseest and the most stupid person.

For high-yield grain, the prince's confidence is not very strong. In order to produce high grain yields in foreign lands, chemical fertilizers are required. Chemical fertilizer is a chemically synthesized crop fertilizer, which is indeed high in yield, but also pollutes the land. If the land that has been fertilized is not used, it will be less productive than if it was not used at all. The prince didn't want to damage the good land, he thought it was to quench his thirst.

Therefore, the prince's affairs are really urgent, we must work steadily, step by step, lay a good foundation, and then it will come to fruition.

It has been more than two months since the prince returned to the house, and Fujin has always felt that the prince is still the prince, but it has changed a lot. First of all, his personality is much more cheerful than before, and he loves to talk and laugh. At this point, Fu Jin was very happy and worried. There are very few women in the prince, so there will not be many heirs. Every time she enters the palace, the queen mother will say that the prince's heirs are thin, and the implication is that she wants to give him a woman. If you really send a show girl to the house, Fujin really doesn't dare to return it. But as the prince's wife, of course she didn't want the prince to have other women. It's not that she can't tolerate the prince's other women, it's that there are more women, and there are more troubles. The lessons of other mansions are already very deep, not to mention others, take Prince An as an example, his concubine Fu Jin Borzigit gave birth to four boys, none of them survived, and all of them died. Illness was a reason, and the medical conditions in that era were low, not to mention smallpox, typhoid fever, and epidemics, even a severe cold could kill you. There are also chronic diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and liver disease that are difficult to cure. Traditional Chinese medicine is good, many Chinese medicine doctors have cured many diseases, but the efficacy of Chinese medicine is a little slower than that of Western medicine. Prince An's four sons-in-law all died young, and in addition to the cause of illness, the fight between the women was also the result of the children's suffering. No one can guarantee that none of Borzigit's sons have died.

Fu Jin is a kind-hearted person, especially fond of children. So lively, cute, poisoned or pushed into the water, or fell from a height, I really don't understand how a woman who harms others can attack innocent children for her own selfish interests?

Fu Jin often saw the girl in his yard greeting the prince. Climbing high branches and turning sparrows into phoenixes are the dreams of many women in their lives. It is extremely difficult to really be a phoenix, but it has something to do with the prince, and there is still a little hope for a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing. In the past, the prince didn't talk to any girl, but now he gives everyone a smiling face. Therefore, there are a few serious women in the Fujin Courtyard who are ready to move. After careful observation, Fu Jin felt that the prince didn't seem to have that mind. He became cheerful because he was influenced by the environment in a foreign land, and the people in the foreign land did not have the ideological framework of the Qing people, nor did they have such a strict hierarchy, and they did not have so many etiquettes in their daily life. So it's a bit casual. In fact, they also have a sense of hierarchy, how can a provincial governor not be the same as a small trader and hawker, right? At least there is a difference between blue-collar, white-collar, and gold-collar.

The things in the garden involved a lot of energy from the prince. If he has nothing to do, he is familiar with how many flowers and trees he has, and he wants to master the plan, and he wants to have a flower wall, elm wall, rose stand and three-dimensional flower garden, and all kinds of flowers must be properly distributed. There was no other woman in his heart to blow his pool of spring water. But others don't know what he thinks, isn't there still three places for the side Fujin in addition to Master Yun? As a result, the older women, including Mama Xi, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Shaohua girls are looking forward to the prince marrying himself home in a flash like he did when he took a fancy to Fujin. Some people even began to look forward to the night of candles with the prince.

Of course, these princes don't know. His dream of being a gardener had not yet begun, and his mind was full of colorful flowers.

A few days ago, the prince asked Tang Jun and Zhu Yuan to cultivate some petunias, a bunch of red and marigolds and other flower seedlings to decorate the courtyard. Prepare the transplant into pots, then arrange them by type and color. I was going to do an experiment in a clearing in the garden.

"The prince is auspicious!" Mama Xi was passing by with twenty of her men. When he saw the prince, he hurriedly stood on the side of the road, straightened his waist, half-bowed his head, lowered his hands, and greeted the prince in a proper manner.

"No courtesy, no courtesy. You are ......."

Mama Xi took half a step forward: "Back to the prince, the slaves and maids have finished cleaning the leaves and dead branches, and are preparing to go back." ”

"If you are not tired, help to arrange the pots of these small flowers for the king according to the color, and arrange them in a phalanx of one color."

"Yes! Slaves obey! Mama Xi finally suppressed her ecstasy and didn't let the smile appear on her face. He ordered his subordinates very seriously: "Do it, didn't you understand what the prince said?" ”

She thought that she had received the attention of the prince, and commanded her subordinates to work with very ladylike steps. When he turned around, he looked at the place where the prince had stood—where was the shadow of the prince?
