Chen Xu sat on a meadow with wild flowers in his mouth, watching a group of women laughing and playing, feeling very comfortable and comfortable.

This is the normal life that nobles should have.

And touching the scene, so he composed a poem with emotion: "Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky, white hair floating green water, anthurium plucking clear waves!" ”

"The poems made by Hou Ye are really good, and they are also suitable for the occasion!" A few little maids nearby began to praise their little marquis without any bottom line.

"Hehe, that's ......" Chen Xu looked proud.

"Brother Xiaoxu, don't you think these flowers I picked are beautiful?" Yu Ji was wearing a delicate skirt and running over with a handful of all kinds of wild flowers in her hand, her little face flushed.

"Wow, Yu Ji is so amazing, the flowers picked are so beautiful!" Chen Xu pretended to exaggerate and praised loudly.

"Sister Xing'er, look, Brother Xiaoxu also said that the flowers I picked are beautiful!" Yu Ji turned around and yelled at Xing'er not far away.

"Hey, brother's eyes are not good, your flowers are messy, and they are not beautiful at all!" Apricot pursed her lips dismissively.

Chen Xu: ......

"Yu Ji brings the flowers, Brother Xiaoxu will help you weave a flower and straw hat, it must be very beautiful to wear!"

Chen Xu felt very unhappy with the contempt from his sister, this girl grew up as she grew older, her personality became more and more independent, and she gradually had a trace of rebellion, and no one was pleasing to the eye, Chen Xu felt that it was necessary to give her some small blows, otherwise his brother's face would become more and more difficult.

"Okay, okay!" Yu Ji happily handed the wildflowers in her hand to Chen Xu, and then knelt in front of Chen Xu, her little face full of excitement and expectation.

Weaving straw hats is a basic skill for children who grew up in the countryside, and it is not very difficult, that is, weaving a ring with wild flowers and grasses, and then inserting beautiful flowers and plants on it, and a flower and straw hat is completed.

Chen Xu's movements were very fast, pulling a few thin flower vines from all around, plus some delicate and slender weeds, dividing five by two to weave a grass ring, and then inserting the wildflowers picked by Yu Ji on the grass ring, less than five minutes before and after.

"Come on, Brother Xiaoxu will put it on for you!" Chen Xu put the braided straw hat on Yu Ji's head, which was not big or small, and in an instant, a chubby little girl with a round face turned into a chubby round-faced flower fairy.

"Sister Xing'er, come and see, isn't my flower and straw hat beautiful?" Yu Ji jumped up excitedly, cheered and turned around and shouted at Xing'er.

"Brother, I want a straw hat too!" Looking at the colorful flower and straw hat on Yu Ji's head, Xing'er was immediately attracted, abandoned Fang Cai's disdain, and ran over with a large bouquet of wildflowers.

Chen Xu had no choice but to divide five by two and make up another one, and then the two little girls wore flower and straw hats and ran to show off to Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan and a group of little maids.

A group of young girls who love beauty were instantly conquered by this natural beautiful dress, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan gave up their beloved plush toys, followed by a group of little maids who also picked a large handful of wildflowers, gathered around Chen Xu, and Chen Xu began to demonstrate to everyone how to make straw hats.

"Look, it's easy!" Chen Xu's flexible fingers quickly demonstrated the production of a flower and straw hat, so a group of women and all began to do their own work, more than ten minutes later, everyone had an extra straw hat full of wild flowers on their heads, and even Chen Xu had one on his head, which was made by Yu Ji, very loose, and the flowers were sparsely arranged, and they fell down while walking on their heads, just like a flower monster walking in the spring.

"Hee-hee~ Husband's hat is very good-looking!" Meng Wan covered her mouth, and Ying Shiyan and a group of little maids also followed behind, all laughing and couldn't straighten their waists.

Looking back at a group of smiling and trembling beautiful little ladies, Chen Xu felt a flame burning from inside his body.

Spring has arrived, and it is the mating season again, so sunny and bird-scented in the wild, if you can fight a field ...... It must be cool.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to take the five princesses out to play alone...... But I'm afraid that the fifth princess will be shy, and it's not good to spread it, the best candidate is Fan Caiying, who is not only mature and charming, but also can meet any posture, huh...... And so it was decided......

After a group of people finished weaving straw hats, everyone near the pond had already had fun, so Chen Xu took his family to move the position.

The fiefdom is too big, there are nearly 300 hectares of mountains and forests and grain fields alone, not to mention the food estate, more than 3,000 households add up to a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is impossible to inspect it in a day or two, so Chen Xu also plans to play wherever he is in the aisle, and go home when he is hungry.

Not far from the pond is an orchard, where last winter students from more than a dozen agricultural colleges and farmers on the fiefdom dug up from the hillside fields and planted many fruit tree seedlings, most of which were only one foot or two feet tall.

These trees are semi-wild, and the purpose of planting them is to allow these students to learn grafting techniques and to continuously improve and cultivate fruit varieties.

Most fruit trees will continue to degrade if they are not grafted, just like peaches, some varieties are large and sweet, but the peaches grown from peach trees grown with pits are small and astringent, and only by grafting the branches of peach trees with a sweet taste to the seedlings can they grow delicious fruits at that time.

Grafting technology is a very ancient inheritance in China, the original origin is that the trees and vines are entangled with each other, and then the melons and fruits that grow are more sweet and full, so the ancients thought that the melon and fruit trees and vines that grew together were favored by God, and it was a symbol of luck, so it was called Lianli Branch, and later some people extended this kind of Lianli Branch to the marriage of men and women, and men and women married as husband and wife are also called mutual knots, which means that they can be entangled together every day in the future, as for whether it is the old tree root or the 69-style that is casual, Anyway, it's a blessed posture by God......

Chen Xu rode on the horse and thought about the thirty-six styles of Dong Xuanzi, with a deep smile on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned with saliva, and a colorful flower and grass hat like a bird's nest on his head, trembling and trembling as he walked, full of joy.

On the two small open-top four-wheeled carriages behind them, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan and a group of young girls, all wearing flowers and straw hats on their heads, sang and talked excitedly as they watched the rich spring colors of red and willow green along the way.

"Send my brother to the outside of the village, there is a sentence I want to explain, although it is already a hundred flowers blooming, the wildflowers on the roadside ~ don't pick ...... Don't pick white, don't pick ...... Don't pick white, don't pick ......"

Chen Xu also shook his head, humming a little song with a relaxed face.

Although the fiefdom is outside the city, but the longitudinal and horizontal transportation is convenient, there are many villages along the way in addition to a large area of farmland, the hard-working farmers are working hard in the fields to hoe and weed, see their own marquis with a group of little ladies out to enjoy the spring to play, so they all hurry to kowtow on both sides of the road to meet.

"Master Hou, you're here!" The steward in charge of the orchard came up with a few farmers and a few students from the agricultural college to greet him.

"Excuse me!" Chen Xu nodded and dismounted, the two carriages and a group of guards behind him also stopped, and a group of girls wearing straw hats also got off the car and began to play in the orchard.

This orchard is on a low hillside, the highest is only 30 meters, that is, a small earthy hill, with an area of more than 10 acres.

There were originally some fruit trees on this small hill, most of which were wild, Chen Xu changed it into an orchard according to local conditions when planning, and now some simple terraces have been built on the hill, and fruit trees such as peaches, plums, apricots and pears are also divided into different areas.

In mid-spring February, it is the time of peach and willow green, the peach blossoms and plum blossoms are blooming, the garden is full of pleasant spring colors, there are swarms of bees buzzing and flying around among the red, white, yellow and green flowers and trees, and there is a rich fragrance of flowers wafting in the air.

Xing'er and Yu Ji were still humming and bouncing to pick wildflowers, Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan followed Chen Xu left and right, and a group of little maids gathered around to discuss which fruits were the best.

"Husband, why is this fruit tree so small that it has to be sawn into a stump?" Ying Shiyan squatted in front of a grafted small tree and asked very puzzled.

"Princess, this is the grafting technique taught to us by the Hou Ye, these small trees are wild fruit saplings, although the varieties are the same, but the fruits are not only small but also bitter and unpalatable, we take a branch from the big tree with delicious fruit and graft it on this small tree, once it grows up, the fruit will be the same as the general ...... of the big tree," a teacher with a nameplate of the Agricultural College on his chest quickly explained.

"See, this is the grafted branch!" Chen Xu squatted down and pointed to a small tree bud on the stump that was no more than three inches long.

"The art of grafting, what a strange method, the husband is really whimsical, Shi Yan is looking forward to what they will look like when they grow up!" Ying Shiyan said with a face full of surprise.

Chen Xu carefully looked at the grafted small tree, and found that a few tender yellow green leaves had bloomed on the young branches wrapped in soil and linen, which should have survived, that is to say, some of the theories about grafting that he was not detailed in the College of Agriculture have seen real results in the application of the theory and practice of this group of students in the College of Agriculture.

Grafting technology is not complicated, the elderly people in the countryside basically know, grafting fruit trees is a basic skill passed down by the ancestors, Chen Xu saw the elders of the family grafting peach trees and orange trees when he was a child, but he did not verify it.

In later generations, with fewer and fewer young people in rural areas, there are fewer and fewer people who know how to graft, but correspondingly, agricultural colleges and professional fruit grove companies are more widely used, and with the continuous promotion of hybrid technology, grafting is more and more applied in the agricultural field, in addition to fruit trees, vegetable hybrid grafting is more extensive, cucumber grafting to pumpkin, pepper grafting to tomatoes, as long as it is the same family of plants, many can be grafted, but there is a difference in survival rate, and after grafting survival, This can dramatically alter the yield of grafted crops, as well as improve appearance and taste.

At present, Daqin's agriculture is not developed, and the theory of grafting has not yet appeared, and it may have appeared but has not attracted people's attention or no one has specifically sorted it out.

The rapid development of China's agriculture was actually in the Han Dynasty.

And if the Qin Dynasty is not too short-lived, in fact, this change can be countless years in advance, because the Qin Dynasty has just unified the whole of China, although it attaches importance to the development of agriculture, but after all, the domestic people's confusion has not yet completely settled, the main task of the imperial court is still to follow the pace of Qin Shi Huang, constantly building roads and fighting wars, for how to govern such a large unified country from Qin Shi Huang to the Manchu Dynasty is still almost blind, still in the exploration stage.

The Great Qin fell, the nobles of the six countries were slaughtered by Xiang Yu, sixty or seventy percent of the adult men were all killed in the war, the fire of domestic rebellion was completely crushed into ashes, and the country could not withstand the turmoil of the war, so the Han Dynasty summed up the experience of the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, and began to abolish many harsh laws to recuperate, and agricultural production in a stable domestic environment was greatly developed, and various new agricultural tools and new farming methods began to appear, and things related to the production and life of the people such as fruit tree grafting and cultivation, poultry breeding, and papermaking soon appeared.

The grafted tree in front of me was not transplanted, but originally a sapling in the orchard.

Generally speaking, the survival of the small tree in the year of transplanting is not guaranteed, and it is estimated that it will be more difficult to survive after grafting, so I have only walked in the orchard for a long time, and I only saw this grafted fruit seedling.

"How many seedlings have been grafted into the orchard today?" Chen Xu stood up and asked.

"Back to the Hou Ye, more than 30 plants have been grafted on this hillside, and we have also grafted hundreds of plants in some other farmers' homes!" Teach the answer.

"What is the survival rate?"

"The survival rate is not too high, only about 30%!" Jiao Xi said with a red face.

"Sancheng, it's not bad, after all, it's the first year of experiment, it's already February, although it's almost past the time for grafting, you can still choose some branches on some big trees for grafting experiments, practice grafting techniques more, and some melon vines can also be tested, don't be afraid of failure, only continuous failure can get more experience!"

"Yes, Master Hou!" The professor and a group of students from the College of Agriculture all gave up together. (https:)
