Sun Xiangfu didn't have so much time to plant large vegetable fields, but at Li Chengqian's repeated requests, the servants who assisted in cultivating the fields were stunned to cultivate two fields 300 meters long along the shore of Peach Blossom Lake, so the workload of crushing the soil and fertilizing became larger.

The children's muscles and bones are not solid, and the endurance of work is very poor, and after a while, they want to pick up their children with back pain, but fortunately, Sun Xiangfu has a lot of guards by his side wherever he goes, and Xue Li is a good laborer.

"Recently, when you have nothing to do, you have to practice martial arts diligently, especially archery skills, and when you look back at the whole army, a champion is 100,000 yuan, take a few more, enough for you to eat Haisai for several years." The matter of breaking the soil was almost over, and Sun Xiangfu said to Xue Li, who was carrying a rake.

When Xue Li heard this, his back straightened, and he said confidently, "Please rest assured that I am diligent in my practice!" ”

"Just have faith, and let them do the rest of the work! You go to Zhou Chun and ask for some quicklime for construction, I'll be useful." ”

Putting a little quicklime in the soil where cauliflower is planted can not only kill bacteria, but also regulate the pH of the land and eliminate the unfavorable factors affecting plant growth in the land.

Today's main work is to prepare the field and apply sufficient base fertilizer. Seedlings need to be made in a ratio of five to one, with wet soil and rotten organic fertilizer to make a nutrient bowl, and this nutrient bowl is not the kind of simple nutrient bowl made by the handmade bowl machine, but to be like a bonsai flower and plant, with a loose and humidity of 80% of the mud and fertilizer binder to complete, in the summer to maintain soil moisture, almost every day to water, it can be seen how troublesome it is to plant this kind of vegetables, Sun Xiangfu is just talking about the elements of planting, are enough for a few little guys to remember a few large pages.

After checking the furrow of the field, after confirming that it was correct, Sun Xiangfu announced that the class was over, in the morning, dozens of people, can prepare these few acres of fields, it is already good, Sun Mansion has skilled farmers who know how to apply base fertilizer, and let the children of the farm keep an eye on it in the afternoon.

Sun Xiangfu left them homework is to give each person a handful of cauliflower seeds, let them try to breed according to the steps they talked about earlier, and the children of the farmer can hand over most of the physical work to others to do, but the technical work that requires hands-on ability must be practiced well.

A few little guys who made mud all over their bodies finally got out of the sea of bitterness, and saw the hairy peaches on the peach trees by the lake, Li Tai wanted to pick one to taste, but was stopped by Sun Xiangfu, although he was the best one among Li Shimin's sons, but he was also the most greedy one, less than ten years old, weighing more than 100 catties.

The peaches in Guanzhong can fully ripen in July, and now at the end of June, they are almost ready to eat, while in Shanyang, because the winter is longer, the peach trees bloom and grow leaves relatively late, and they will not mature until September.

"Sun Dudu, why can't Shanyang's peaches be eaten yet?" Li Tai, who was stopped, asked puzzled.

"That's because of different regions and different seasons, our Shanyang only melted snow in April this year, and at that time, the peach blossoms in Guanzhong were finished."

"Is that why the king asks you to plant peaches in a hotter place, or to plant peaches in a colder place, and you can eat peaches all year round?"

Sure enough, Li Tai's comprehension is higher than Li Shimin's other sons, from the fact that he can ask this question, it proves that he is a little better than Li Chengqian in using his brain, Sun Xiangfu nodded and smiled, "Theoretically, this can prolong the time you can eat peaches, however, it is estimated that you will not have such troubles in the future, in Weinan New Town, a workshop will soon be built to produce something called canned food, which can store the pulp for a long time, so that when you want to eat peaches, you can open a bottle of canned peach meat." ”

In later generations, peach trees go through variants that can be realized from March to April······ Until October, there are new peaches.

Moreover, there are many varieties, the taste also has its own merits, as long as it is not ripe by the potion, it is generally very sweet and delicious, the autumn peach in Guanzhong is famous for its crispy and sweet meat, Sun Xiangfu once took a train to pass, bought two catties, and ate it all in one breath on the train, and then every year when the season comes, some will be purchased online.

Sun Xiangfu is also very confident in the peach trees he planted in Guanzhong, and just so on, taking the opportunity to send a letter to Chang'an, he can let people bring some new peaches this year to try.

For the food of canned food, Li Tai is very yearning, it should be said that for all delicious sweets, he has little resistance, the return carriage was stopped by him three times, all because he wanted to buy food, iced honey milk tea, a bowl usually can not satisfy his appetite, as well as sugar cakes, sugar cakes and the like, he can eat several in a row.

When he returned to Sun's mansion, Li Shimin just finished today's recital, and he heard that Sun Xiangfu had taken a few princes and princesses to plant cauliflower, so he wanted to ask them what they had done after planting vegetables.

"Do you think that farming is despicable?"

Seeing that Li Shimin's expression was very solemn, Li Chengqian replied honestly, "Erchen doesn't think it, it's just a little hard, today the children opened a large vegetable field with the teacher, and they all feel tired." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "If you are sympathetic to the hardships of the farmers, you must be more diligent and love the people, so that the people can live more easily." ”

Li Chengqian nodded yes, and at this time, Li Tai answered again, "Sun Dudu said that this cauliflower should be diligent in irrigation and top dressing, and Erchen wants to go to the vegetable field every day to water those cauliflowers, and plant them for the queen mother to eat with his own hands." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid you kid want to take the opportunity to sneak out for snacks!" Li Shimin smiled and wiped the dried milk residue on Li Tai's mouth and said.

For several sons, his favorite is Li Tai, a little fat man, even Sun Xiangfu has seen his cleverness, how can Li Shimin not see it!

Looking at the dialogue between him and Li Shimin, you can know how high his emotional intelligence is, a nine-year-old child knows how to satisfy his desire for his tongue in the name of filial piety, which may be very common in later generations, but in this era, it can only be said that he is too smart, because filial piety is the responsibility of the son of man, filial piety is the head of the program, and it is impossible for Li Shimin to stop him from fulfilling filial piety.

And Li Chengqian, well! Although he is quite honest and obedient, he basically has no bright spots, which makes it difficult for Li Shimin to spoil him, and it is no wonder that Li Shimin will treat the two brothers differently in the future.

"Father, Lizhen wants to study with Sister Sun and them."

is also favored by Li Shimin, as well as the eldest princess Li Lizhi, because her personality and appearance are similar to the eldest grandson queen, and after gradually starting to wake up, she basically never does things that Li Shimin doesn't like.

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu, and Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "The cultural classes of the children of the peasant sect are only afraid that they are not as good as the princess, and learning planting techniques, some early knowledge, just rely on strong memorization, the main thing to learn is hands-on ability, and the princess is now following them to learn, but there will be no obstacles." ”

With the current level of science and technology, Sun Xiangfu didn't expect them to do anything like seed scientific research, just as children learn to play with mud with older children! Playing, playing, there will always be a little bit of play.

"That, father, son-in-law also wants to learn."

Li Ke, who had been relatively silent, saw that Li Lizhen's request was met, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he stood up and spoke.

He is from Concubine Yang, and Concubine Yang is the daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, so as the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, his position in the court is a little embarrassing.

Therefore, Li Ke, who always feels that he is a head shorter than Li Chengqian and Li Tai, has a somewhat withdrawn personality, although he is precocious and has good grades in reading, but he is usually more taciturn, and he will only participate in anything when others call him.

"Well, if you want to learn, go and learn! I guess you don't want to accompany me to Mobei to bask in the sun. ”

Li Shimin and Yi Nan have already negotiated the specific itinerary to Mobei, and they will set off in five days, plus the round-trip journey, and the inspection time of about ten days, a total of at least 20 days, that is, it will be the end of July when they come back.

And Mobei is not like Shanyang or Guannei, there are roads that can pass through carriages, and they basically have to ride horses on the wilderness to hurry, and a few young princes and concubines are definitely not suitable to go, so Li Shimin has to make other arrangements for them, and it is not bad to learn something from the children of the peasant sect.

"Since Your Majesty has set a time to go to Mobei, then the minister, it is time to release the time for the whole army to be compared."

Sun Xiangfu thought of something he had to do, so he interjected.

"Well, you should arrange it earlier! On this northern tour, I will leave 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shanyang, and you will lead 30,000 Anbei troops to accompany you! ”

"Uh, why is that?"

"It's not that you're tinkering with Uncle Bao and them for any targeted training, they're coming to me one by one now, and they want to leave the sergeants who are selected to participate in the competition."

Li Shimin's seemingly complaining tone was accusing Sun Xiangfu, in fact, he didn't want to lose in his own heart, you know, his pro-army Xuanjia Army will also participate in the big competition, if he doesn't stay some to do training, in some projects, lose to the Sixteenth Guards, or lose to the Anbei Army, then it's better to say a little, if he loses to the Xue Yantuo Khanate, or the people of the Murwei, Yan Ya and other departments, then the face will be lost.

"Oh well! The minister will go down and make arrangements. ”

After Sun Xiangfu retired, before he walked out of the hall, he heard Li Shimin's father and son say unashamedly inside, this time the Xuanjia Army will definitely be able to win the first place in various competitions, which made Sun Xiangfu feel funny.

Fighting for the first place is not so simple, the people trained in the army may have a very high overall level, but when they encounter talented individuals, they can only kneel, and in many single competitive events, the overall strong Xuanjia Army may not have any advantages.
