"Lord, the person has been brought, please ask the prince to command." Liang Shitai's words interrupted Yang Er's whimsical obscenity.

Yang Er retracted his thoughts and swept over the more than ten coarse cloth farmers who knelt on the ground and saluted. "Folks, please get up, sit on both sides, this king has his own words." Yang Er's face was kind, without the arrogance of princes and nobles.

After everyone sat down, Liang Shitai, who was in the first seat, pointed to an old man and introduced, "This person is my third uncle, and the village only calls him Liang Third Uncle. If the prince has any arrangements, just tell him to do it. Third Uncle Liang hurriedly got up and saluted Yang Er.

"Third uncle, please sit down, don't be polite" After Yang Er returned the salute, Third Uncle Liang sat down in a panic and listened to Yang Er's words.

"This time I called all the fathers and elders here for only one thing, and this matter can be big or small. A new food crop needs to be planted here, which is small, but a successful trial can be widely promoted, which can solve the grain shortage in Guanzhong and solve the people's fire and water. I wonder if you can help me succeed? As soon as Yang Er's words came out, the hall was shocked. Even Liang Shitai stared at the young King of Jin with wide eyes.

"Although I am the king of Jin, but not released, so far there is only one mansion in the capital, dozens of family members, unlike my brothers, the king of Qin, the king of Shu, and the king of Han all have fiefdom people. By chance, to obtain a God-given treasure, once it is successful, it may be possible to solve the suffering of the common people in the upside down, so it is to borrow the land on the village to try to plant this extraterritorial thing, I don't know what you think? After Yang Er finished speaking, his eyes looked at Liang Shitai who was on the side.

Liang Shitai stood up and arched his hand and said: "The prince is too worried, the general has been put under the command of the prince, and he is only under the orders of the prince, and he is not afraid of swords and axes." Everything that exists is owned by the prince, the villagers only need to be sent, and the land is only transferred. ”

The rest of the people got up together and replied in unison: "I wait for the common people to obey the order of the prince, please ask the prince to command." ”

"Good! Third uncle, you all come and see. Yang Er said and opened the cloth wrap on the table, and a pile of sweet potatoes and a pile of potatoes appeared in front of everyone. He continued: "These are sweet potatoes and potatoes, both of which are highly yielding and can be used as food rations and for domestic animals. Including Liang Shitai, Uncle Liang and others, they all stared at the two things on the table, one red and one yellow, and were speechless in shock.

Yang Er picked up a sweet potato and then introduced: "This is a sweet potato, regardless of the land." Planting, only need to water diligently in the early stage, and can be dug up after 100 days of maturity, the yield is very large, and it can be eaten raw or cooked and roasted; It can be used as staple food or supplementary food, and its taste is delicious and nutritious. Then Yang Er held up a potato again: "This thing is called a potato, it is also planted, it is easy to survive, the yield is also large, the result can be steamed, fried, roasted, each with its own flavor, it is a delicacy." One acre of land can be used as staple food to feed the whole family. Compared with sweet potatoes, they are more nutritious than white flour rice. ”

As soon as Yang Er's words fell, the room was full of shock, and there was no one who believed.

"Is there any riverside land in the village? The things on the table can be planted, and only one acre of good land is enough. Yang Er turned his head and said to Liang Shitai.

"There are more than ten acres of good land near the water in the back of the village, and one acre of land is enough for trial planting." Uncle Liang hurriedly replied.

"Okay, please lead the way in front of the third uncle, and this king will go and see."

Third Uncle Liang led Yang Er out, and the rest of the people followed. Leave a few Zhuang Ding and Yang Erqin to guard the house with the guards, and do not mention it.

In a moment, Third Uncle Liang had led everyone to the place by the river. Yang Er looked around and couldn't help but sigh, the surrounding green mountains and green water environment is beautiful, a small river meanders through, a few ploughing cattle wandering in the grass in the grass by the riverside, and a cow playing in the shallow water to escape the heat, the tree knows a piercing chirping, the weather at this time is indeed very hot. The land near the river has been planted with unknown crops half a foot high, and some of the fields have some vegetables and vegetables that bloom beautifully.

Uncle Liang pointed to the crops in the ground beside Yang Er and introduced: "Lord Wang, this is the best land closest to the river, the land is fertile, and everything can grow well, you see that the buckwheat seedlings are now sprinkled into the ground during the spring equinox, and now it has only been more than 20 days before the seedlings have emerged." Seedlings emerge faster than other slopes, and the growth is better. ”

Yang Er circled, pointed to a slightly higher ground and said, "Use this place as a place to try to sow new crops, pull out buckwheat, and re-cultivate the soil." 10 taels of silver were allocated to compensate for the losses of the local bankers. Yang Er turned to the guard commander Lai Hu'er and said. Laihu'er nodded in agreement.

"Uncle Liang can't use these many dealers for this matter, just elect 5 people. The daily wage of these 5 people is 20 copper coins, and 10 taels of silver are rewarded for each successful trial. The construction period will be calculated tomorrow, and the land must be re-tilled within 3 days, and then the grass ash from the stove at home will be sprinkled into the cultivated land, which has been used for land maintenance. After Yang Er finished speaking, he turned around and planned to walk back. At this time, including Lai Hu'er, Liang Shitai, and Liang Sanshu, they were all amazed, how could it be that the young King Jin in the red enclosure of the deep palace was so good at farming?

Three days later, this acre of trial planting land is divided into two, while under the guidance of Yang Er, the soil is ready to plant sweet potatoes, this time as a seed of sweet potatoes Yang Er adopts the method of directly burying the whole sweet potato, and after the sweet potatoes grow vines, they are cut and planted obliquely in the vine branches. It's a lot slower than direct cuttings, but it can't be helped. Fortunately, Uncle Liang and other 5 people have already prepared sufficient manure juice on the side, and diligent watering every day can also accelerate the early germination of sweet potato seeds. The land on one side is used to grow potatoes, and potatoes are much easier to grow. This time, I planted all the potatoes in the soil, and I couldn't help it. Unlike sweet potatoes, which can be stored in the cellar for a long time, each of the potatoes placed in the house in the past two days has grown a lot of short shoots, and it is impossible to eat them, so they can only be planted. Each potato is cut into small pieces according to the number of sprouts, and each small piece has a new sprout. Then instruct Liang Sanshu and others to bury small pieces with buds in loose soil, about one foot apart, and then apply manure.

The whole planting process is very simple for Liang Sanshu and others, who have rich experience in farming, and it is even much simpler than growing buckwheat. Yang Er reminded everyone that watering once a day for the first three weeks is not too much. Water the manure juice once every 3 days, not more, and burn the seedlings more. After three weeks, budding fingers are ready for watering and manure once a week. After 6 weeks, only occasional weeding is required and the fruit is ripe. After two months, the sweet potato will produce a few feet of vines, so cut the stems into segments, leaving 5 leaves for each segment. Insert the cut stem segment obliquely into the vacant soil next to it, expose the leaves, gently press the roots, and water with fertilizer.

Time passed quickly, and every day Yang Er went to inspect the field and taught 5 people planting methods and fertilization techniques. He taught him the only skills he had stolen from his father. In fact, sweet potatoes are a little more complicated, and they need to be cut off and left with leaves to be planted obliquely to expand the planting area. Every time they inspect, not only Uncle Liang and other 5 people must be present, but there are also many idle farmers watching and learning, they are quite curious, of course, more girls and daughters-in-law are present to see the style of King Jin. King Jin Meiziyi has long had a legend in the folk of the Great Sui.

In his free time, Yang Er asked Uncle Liang to find a few village women and give them all the 125 eggs in his hand. The task of the few of them is to find a way to hatch the hundred and ten eggs into chicks, and then feed them to grow up and regenerate eggs. There shall be no dead chickens and eating chickens, and keep records, including the number of hatched chicks, the number of adult chickens, etc. When the total number of chickens reached 1,000 and the number of eggs reached tens of thousands, Uncle Liang sent someone to Tongguan or Chang'an Jin Wangfu to report. At that time, each peasant woman who took care of the peasants received a silver reward issued by the King of Jin according to the number of chickens and eggs in her hand, up to a maximum of 1,000 taels of silver.

Yang Er is not worried about this, at this time, every household in the village has chickens, which is not a difficult thing. It's just that this time the chickens they are feeding are different, and they will find that these chickens have high egg production, fast growth rate of adult chickens, and very good meat quality. Of course, they don't dare to kill chickens at will. At this time, Yang Er was not worried about chicken plague, the air was surprisingly good, and almost all the things in the entrance were pure green foods that could not be purified in later generations. Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't feed these chickens, whether there are good breeds of chickens in this era does not affect Yang Er's upcoming grand hegemony, it's just the icing on the cake!

On this day, a team of 50 officers and soldiers sent by Yang Lin, the general of Tongguan Town, came to Iron Hammer Village under the leadership of a small flag officer. Their simple task is to take care of the acres of trial farming. When the potatoes are about to ripen and the sweet potatoes are planted separately to expand the planting area, no one and livestock are allowed to come close. Yang Er specially instructed that cattle should not be allowed to eat seedlings and leaves during the day, and that wild boars or voles should not be seen at night to destroy and steal food.

After a month, the sweet potatoes are growing well, just waiting for the fruit to ripen in 100 days. After there was really nothing more to teach Uncle Liang Sanshu and these people, Yang Er explained that the official army and the small flag officer were stationed in Zhuang to supervise on his behalf. The autumn equinox in September is the harvest season for the two crops, and after harvesting the first batch of fruits, people will be sent to Tongguan to report the harvest. Uncle Liang and the little flag officer nodded in agreement.

At the end of the next day, Yang Er's army set off for Tongguan. Liang Shitai had already explained the affairs of Zhuang Shang to Uncle Liang, and had already led 20 cronies and 20 guards of the King of Jin to open up before Mao.

Yang Er was in a good mood all the way, and the sweet potatoes did not adapt to the soil and water, nor did they have mutations in the genes like after crossing by themselves. I was originally 18 years old, and now I am only 15 years old. It's like the slightly childish face of his 15-year-old. Fortunately, except for the immature face, the other body parts are the same as those of 18 years old, especially the strength of the whole body is stronger, and the silver chisel Qiankun Dulong pestle that has always accompanied him can now swing freely with one hand. In the competition with Liang Shitai, Liang Shitai is no longer Yang Er's opponent. It is also not lagging behind in the comparison with the future care of the child. Can you still have long strength and long arm strength when you cross it? It's really weird. As for the acquisition of his own weapons and martial arts, Yang Er's explanation to Laihu'er and his entourage generals was that after fainting in the fire that day, he had a silver-bearded and white-haired stranger to teach the pestle technique in a dream, a total of 8864 silver chisel Qiankun Dulong pestle techniques. After practicing in a dream, he slowly woke up. The silver chisel is also a gift from a stranger in a dream. Lai Hu'er grew up with Yang Guang since he was a child, and he had heard the fortune teller master say that the king of Jin was the reincarnation of the last pig dragon, and it was a normal chance to meet a master in a dream, so he was convinced.

"There are four verses left at the time of the parting of the stranger in the dream, and the king still doesn't think about it, and I am afraid that he needs the guidance of a master." Yang Er thought to himself when he saw his compassion and love. I thought to myself, why not make this matter more mysterious? In this era, no matter the common people, the princes and generals are all superstitious about heaven and earth, ghosts and gods. Then let this matter be even more legendary, which will lay a foundation of public opinion for his succession, and will make himself invincible in public opinion and morality.

"Oh? The prince said to listen to it, and he would see if he could try to solve one or two. "Lai Hu'er came to be interested, and the surrounding guards also gathered over and listened attentively.

"When I meet Xie Xingyan becomes a god, I hold the treasure in the well Chen Fu. Yong down to the south, east to the five waters. Yang Er laughed, and according to the known historical trend, he casually uttered four verses. The people who said it bluntly shook their heads, but no one could answer.

Yang Er knew that these four verses would be widely spread all over the world. There will be no one to understand for a while, but it will be fulfilled one by one afterwards. At that time, whoever dares to say that he is not in the right position, I will not kill you, and public opinion will also kill those who sow right and wrong 10,000 times. Yang Er laughed wildly in his heart at this time, "I'm so smart!" ”。
