Chapter 125: Trial Seeding
Everyone looked at Hua Xuan with envy.
Hua Xuan was overjoyed, remembered Ling Yi's words, and said: "Saintly, although this corn looks the same as recorded in ancient books, it has never heard of white potatoes and peanuts. Now that the taste and yield have not been confirmed, General Yiling said that he did not dare to be greedy, saying that after he tried to plant and harvest, it would not be too late for the emperor to reward him. ”
When Emperor Qi heard this, he saw that the young general who was important to him was not arrogant, and smiled with satisfaction: "Good! General Ling is indeed the minister of my Great Qi, and he has won my heart! In this case, this trial planting of corn, sweet potatoes, etc., will be left to him! ”
Hua Xuan said respectfully: "Yes, the Holy Wisdom is wise!" ”
Emperor Qi said with a smile: "Hua Aiqing also has to help from the side, if it is really planted, it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely have a heavy reward at that time!" ”
Because almost everyone has only seen corn in ancient books, everyone simply ignores sweet potatoes and peanuts and pays special attention to corn.
Although Hua Xuan said that, Emperor Qi still gave a lot of gold and silver cloth. When Hua Xuan returned to Yuedi with Emperor Qi's will and reward, Ling Yi and the city envoys of the Maritime Affairs Department sent people out of the city to greet them.
Qin Guangyu was overjoyed, knowing that although he was not an official at the moment, he was already in the heart of the emperor, which was especially beneficial to his imperial examination.
What's more, the Holy One still made it clear that when corn and other crops are harvested, they will be rewarded for meritorious deeds!
Ling Yi had already thought about this matter thoroughly, and the planting of corn and other things fell to the Xiao family, and Hua Xuan and Wang Lei, the official in charge of agricultural affairs in Yuedi, assisted.
For a while, everyone dared not underestimate the Xiao family, and the visitors almost stepped through the threshold.
Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei knew that the matter of corn was very important, except for the General's Mansion, Qin Guangyu, Jiang Qingyuan and other acquaintances, the rest were all thanks.
At this time, it highlighted the moral integrity of Uncle Zhou Qi's family, and only congratulated a few words, restrained Yanzi and Huzi, and did not take advantage of the close relationship between the two families to come to the door to disturb and seek benefits.
Xiao Yu only thought about it for a moment, and asked Xiao Yucheng to deal with the matter of planting corn. As long as it is not too out of line, it can be pushed to ancient books.
Ling Yi originally just thought that Xiao Yu knew about this thing, and maybe he also learned about the planting method from the ancient books, and seeing that he was happy to take on this important task, he felt even more unexpected, and Xiao Yu's eyes were extremely hot.
The Xiao family's field has been harvested, and Xiao Yu proposed to try to plant autumn corn.
Si Nong strongly objected, saying: "This move is a quick success, and when it goes against the sky, it will not succeed, and it will only waste these precious seeds." ”
Xiao Yu felt that it made sense when he heard this, and the corn he got was not much, so it was better to wait for next spring to plant again.
Ling Yi was thoughtful, and before Xiao Yu could speak, he had already asked, "Second Miss Xiao, but the ancient books record that this corn will be sown in autumn?" ”
"That's not true, it's just that corn can also be planted in the autumn in southern Xinjiang, and it is mainly sown in the spring." Xiao Yu hurriedly shook his head.
Ling Yi didn't doubt it, but exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's an immortal thing, and it can be planted in autumn and winter." Now that it is the season, I also ask Xiao Er to try, if it can really be done, it is also Li Min's luck. ”
Xiao Yu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll plant a small amount first and give it a try." However, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a reward. ”
So, after Ling Yi invited an experienced old farmer to discuss with Xiao Yu, he immediately carved out a small plot of land in the Xiao family's field to plant autumn corn.
Before ploughing the land, Ling Yi asked Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun to bring people to garrison the edge of the field.
Since corn is a legendary god-sent immortal, it has a great relationship, and that small piece of land naturally has to be guarded by people to avoid being destroyed.
Even Xiao Yu was protected.
It was indeed necessary for Ling Yi to do this, and he soon learned that the Jingnan County Mansion had been a little cautious, but now it had nowhere to start.
After Xiao Yu discussed with Wang Lei and the old farmer, the land was quickly prepared.
Wang Lei was very cautious, for fear of wasting these precious seeds, everything related to corn planting, everything had to be asked to Xiao Yu before doing it, which made her a little ridiculous.
When soaking seeds on this day, Wang Lei and a few old farmers asked Xiao Yu what kind of water to use, how much to put appropriately, etc., she had to explain to him again: "In fact, the ancient books only remember a few strokes on how to plant corn, and you know better than me about farming, so try to plant sorghum and wheat." ”
But Qiao Ling Yi came over, and when he heard this, he said: "It is this reason that allows you to wait to help, not only to help, but also to find a way." ”
Wang Lei was a little ashamed.
Xiao Yuwan'er: "The king is only afraid of these seeds that he is so careful, not because he is lazy. ”
Ling Yi smiled and said: "I don't know, I'm just cautious about how to do big things, it's late autumn now, don't delay the farming time if you can't let go." ”
Wang Lei was ashamed: "The lesson of the general is that I am too forward-looking. ”
Since Xiao Yu and Ling Yi both said that they would come according to their previous farming experience, after several people discussed, they selected a part of the corn and dried it for a few days.
Xiao Yu still went to Changle Villa every two days to discuss with several famous doctors how to cure Hua Yue's eyes, and met Jiang Qingyuan twice in the past two times, and he was very interested in corn.
Today, Hua Yue still insists on taking medication every day and rubbing the acupuncture points in the eyes. Last time, the golden silk snake that the two of them caught from Luofeng Mountain first took the poison, and then killed the gall to make medicine, but it had little effect, and Xiao Yu was still at a loss.
On this day, Xiao Yu went to Changle Villa as usual, and discussed with Dr. Liang and others for a long time, but finally couldn't get the point, so he was a little depressed.
Hua Yue was indifferent, he met Xiao Yu who was walking alone in the corridor, so he stopped to talk to her: "Miss Ayu, can there be progress in planting corn?" ”
Xiao Yu didn't expect Hua Yue to care about this matter, she was a little surprised, and then replied truthfully: "It's still drying, and you can soak the seeds tomorrow." ”
Thinking that Hua Yue would not inquire for no reason, Xiao Yu asked again: "What's wrong?" ”
Hua Yue paused for a moment and asked, "Have you learned the method of planting corn from ancient books?" ”
Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, there is only one mention in the book, I am going to let Master Wang and several old farmers plant corn according to the experience of Zhong Bei's grain." ”
Hua Yue nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Miss Ah Yu should not publicize such things in the future, the saint heard that the girl has learned so many things from ancient books, and also told the people around her that I don't know where the ancient books the girl reads are now, but there are clues to the ancient treasures from them." ”
Xiao Yu heard that he had been struck by lightning, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" ”
Hua Yue said: "The saint is surrounded by smart people, of course, the ancient books told by the girl have been scattered, and said that if the treasure leaves clues, the ancient books will not be passed on to a little girl." ”
Xiao Yu's heart was slightly relieved: "Thank you, Young Master Yue." ”
Hua Yue shook her head and instructed: "It's not necessary, it's just that you have to be careful in the future, there is no shortage of people around Your Majesty." ”
Xiao Yu regretted it, nodded vigorously, and saluted sincerely, saying, "Gongzi Xie Yue told me to remind me, I wrote it down." ”
Hua Yue smiled: "You did your best to detoxify me, and now you are still worrying about my eyes, I just said a few words, not enough to worry about." ”
Xiao Yu's face was slightly hot, and he said, "I'm just doing what a doctor should do." ”
Hua Yue smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Ah Yu to say this." (To be continued.) )
