Chapter Seventy-Five: The Experimental Field
Outside the South City Gate
The pond used to transfer live fish in Mojia Village has been opened for people to visit, and the citizens of Chang'an who rushed to hear the news are in an endless stream, surrounding both sides of the pond.
There are countless live fish in the pond, and the people on both sides are not afraid at all, and they are running to the oxygen supply to compete for a comfortable place.
"Ahh It turns out that this is the secret technique of live fish! ”
A green-shirted scribe said disappointedly, seeing such a simple secret technique, he couldn't arouse his interest.
"Didn't you attend today's ink exhibition?" The black-clothed middle-aged man on the side glanced at the green-shirted scribe and said.
"How do you know?" The green-shirted scribe was surprised.
The middle-aged man in black smiled and said: If you participate in the ink art exhibition, you will not be disappointed. Mo Jiazi promised in public that if anyone can understand why injecting air into the water can keep the fish alive, he will directly offer a reward of 10,000 yuan! ”
"Ten thousand!" The green-shirted scribe closed his jaw in shock.
Many of the surrounding listeners were also in an uproar, 10,000 yuan, that is a wealth they can't even think of, thinking of this, their eyes can't help but look at the oxygen supply driven by the big windmill next to the pond.
"Wouldn't it be ...... if you found out the existence of oxygen yourself" More and more people thought that the temptation of ten thousand times was so great that it was almost impossible to resist its power.
"It seems that this little catfish's strategy is very successful!" Li Shimin looked at everyone and talked about it, opening and closing his mouth for 10,000 yuan, as if money was no longer money.
He was dressed in casual clothes, like a rich man hanging out, the tall Cheng Biting Jin and the black-faced Wei Chi Jingde next to him, and the capable Qin Qiong dressed as a guard on the side.
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, if it weren't for the five thousand hungry and cold villagers in Mojia Village, I would rather be a dog walking and playing with birds!" Merton said, taking the fish food from a Mo family disciple who was passing by, grabbing a handful, and throwing it into the water.
"Brush!" The fish food fell into the water and made a crisp sound, because Mojia Village has been feeding in the fish pond for a long time, the fish here have already developed the habit of grabbing food, and suddenly countless fish heads rushed to rush there, frantically competing for food, splashing the water high.
"It's spectacular!"
This very common scene of a group of fish grabbing food appeared for the first time in Datang and caused everyone to exclaim.
"Guan Zhong's words, it's really penetrating!" Li Shimin sighed slightly and said.
As an emperor, he had a deeper understanding of Guan Zhong's words, and often used this method to achieve his own goals.
The sight of a group of fish rushing for food left a deep impression on everyone, and many pedestrians asked to come again.
Merton was not in the mood, so he gave the fish food in his hand to Qin Huaiyu, who was eager to try, and took Li Shimin and others to the experimental field of the Mo family.
"See the master!"
Su Lingnon got the news and hurriedly came, for the safety of Li Shimin, Su Lingnon changed his name to be the master, at this moment Su Lingnon was dressed as an old peasant, if Li Shimin didn't recognize him, how could he not have imagined that the great Sinong of the Tang Dynasty was this person.
"Su Lingnon, you came first, how do you use the Quyuan plow?" Li Shimin asked.
When Su Lingnon heard this, he hurriedly pointed to the field and said: "Your Majesty, there are ploughing pears here at the same time, one of them is the old-style plough, and the one on the right is the Quyuan plow, which has a great advantage!" ”
Li Shimin looked at it and saw that the old-style ploughed pear on the right was very bulky, and it was very difficult to turn around, and it was very difficult to use the double ox to plow the land. Even so, it is still not as good as the area of the plough on the right with a man and an ox pulling a zigzag plow.
"Quyuan plough can not only directly save a cow, without slowing down the speed of ploughing, but also can turn the soil underground, is the land more fertile, soft soil, conducive to the growth of the banker, the Mo family is really amazing, here on behalf of the Tang millions of farmers thank the Mo family."
Su Lingnon said and bowed to Merton.
Mo Dun was startled, and quickly turned sideways and said: "Lord Su has tormented the kid, the kid asked Mojia Village to improve the Quyuan plow, just to find a source of wealth for Mojia Village, and he can't afford the big gift of adults." ”
"What is Lord Su's politeness to this kid, the farmers who improved the Quyuan plow got advanced tools, and the Mojia Village made money from the Quyuan plow, and everyone took what they needed." Qin Qiong persuaded Su Lingnon to say.
"Yiguo Gong doesn't know, what Merton has done is not only this, please see, this hundred acres of land is neatly divided into four parts, each part of twenty-five acres." Su Linong pointed to the four planned fields and said.
Qin Qiong suddenly realized that they thought that this fast field was originally there, but they didn't expect that it was planned by Mojia Village.
"What's the use of planning like that? Is there any trick in there? Li Shimin didn't understand Su Lingnong's gaffe and asked.
Su Linong looked at them in the middle of the field, and there was no one around, so he said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the trick is to let Lord Mo explain it to you, after all, this is designed by Lord Mo, and only he can explain it clearly." ”
"Mo boy, if you have something to say, say it quickly!" Li Shimin squinted at Merton.
Merton touched his nose embarrassedly, when Old Man Su spoke just now, you were respectful and polite, but when I asked me to say it, why were they very polite.
No way, who made their own status the lowest here? Morton lamented in his heart and said: "The boy divided this hundred acres into four, the first part was specially used for the traditional cultivation method, sowing seeds, and the second part of the field was slightly changed, and Wechen collected grass ash from various villages, as well as various fertilizers, and turned them into the ground with a curved plow, so as to increase the grain production. ”
In fact, Morton still used the Spring and Autumn brushwork to skim by, and various fertilizers also include human and animal manure, which are the most effective means of fertilization commonly used in later generations, of course, these are not necessary to talk about them in detail with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, this is indeed a good idea, although the smell from his nose made him a little uncomfortable.
Merton continued: "The third boy thinks that the poor grain yield is due to the fact that the seeds are eaten by pests and birds, and says that I stir the seeds with a mildly toxic and pungent liquid to protect the seeds from being eaten by pests, and to reduce the grain yield. ”
"If my guess is correct, the fourth plot is to plant the seeds mixed with the liquid medicine in a fertilized field." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Merton said, patting his ass.
"Then why don't you just fertilize all the fields and sow all the seeds of the stirring solution, I am sure you must know that the harvest of the dealer planted by this method is the best." Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said.
Merton bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully, "Although the kid is ninety-nine percent sure that he can increase production by doing this, I can't do it directly. ”
"I call this piece of land the experimental field, these four small fields are the steps of the formal Mojia experiment, the experiment is the only way to discover the ink technique, the secret technique of live fish, the curved plow, the artificial incubation technology, are all such a step by step experiment, and finally succeeded. Therefore, these four steps are the origin of showing the ink technique to the world. ”
"This is not only the experimental field of the farmer, but also the experimental field of the Mo family." Merton said proudly.
