Xiao Fei was still happy in his heart, but now that he listened to Fang Jifan's words, he was a little confused!

Is this a done thing?

But Fang Jifan had already smiled at the sweet potato, and carefully checked it to make sure that there was no mildew, and there seemed to be no other traces of infection, which made Fang Jifan breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, he had to hurry, he couldn't delay for a minute!

Now that the things are in hand, Fang Jifan naturally has no heart to deal with this Hu Shang anymore, and after sending Hu Shang away, he immediately asked someone to find Wang Jinyuan: "Hurry up and find a tank, and let someone build a warm house immediately." ”

Now that you have a sweet potato, of course, you have to find a way to make this sweet potato sprout and bear fruit, but ......

How to grow this sweet potato?

First of all...... The sweet potatoes had to be sprouted, and the hydroponic method was a bit risky, so Fang Jifan decided to be safe.

Therefore, it is only possible to find a dark and damp place, in which an environment can be created, but at the same time, the temperature must be kept around 20 to 30 degrees.

After working hard, this sweet potato recipe was carefully protected in a conservatory that was set up!

This conservatory...... It is Wang Jinyuan's bedroom, Wang Jinyuan often has to come here to stare at it, so he specially asked people to build a small house with blue bricks and red tiles for himself, which is completely different from the ordinary house built with rammed earth, more exquisite, in addition, it is charcoal, but at the same time, just in case, a temporary flue is also specially set up, although it is anthracite, but even if it is a little gas, Fang Jifan hopes to be clean.

In the jar, some soil has been put in, and some water has been poured into the soil to create a moist environment, and the sweet potato has been placed in the jar.

After finishing all this, Fang Jifan was in the mood to take care of Wang Jinyuan, but he saw that Wang Jinyuan looked at him very resentfully.

Fang Jifan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and now he only hoped that this sweet potato would sprout smoothly.

If it can really germinate and try to grow it......

Think about it, it's all terrible, this sweet potato is not only a yield per mu that can be called an anti-heaven existence, but the real killer feature is not only this, but that it is a highly adaptable crop!

Unlike crops such as rice, which are too delicate and require a lot of water, and have high demands on the fertility of the land, sweet potatoes can thrive in many environments, and even in many so-called 'rotten fields'.

If it can really succeed, then ...... It's for the benefit of the world!

The population of the Ming Dynasty has been maintained at around tens of millions, even this number of people, but because the land is difficult to feed people, resulting in a large number of displaced people, but in the Manchu Dynasty, the population has increased tenfold, reaching 40,000, and it can barely feed this ten times the population.

Among them, it is the credit of sweet potatoes.

Now Fang Jifan comes to Xishan almost every day.

But after that, he didn't come alone.

Tang Yin is a talented person, Fang Jifan treats him very well, naturally let him study at home, and the most important thing is to paint.

As for the other protégés, they were not so polite, Ouyang Zhi and the three of them, almost like being caught, were escorted by their teachers to Xishan to turn over the ground, but Xu Jing was different from Ouyang Zhi and the three, his injuries had healed, and he was very interested in Xishan, so he actually went with the compass.

As soon as he arrived at the West Mountain, he began to chatter, talking vigorously about the mountain situation of the West Mountain, just like Mr. Feng Shui.

Fang Jifan's most disgusting thing was Mr. Feng Shui, and he inevitably kicked Xu Jing: "Don't be here with gods and ghosts, I hate it!" ”

"Teacher......" The compass in Xu Jing's hand fell, but he hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, and saw that the compass was safe, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said pitifully: "Teacher, the student has a lot of understanding of geography, so this time it is inevitable to come ...... I want to see the mountains and water here......"

Fang Jifan remembered this, this should be family inheritance, Xu Jing's grandson is Xu Xiake, and Xu Xiake is the first person in the Ming Dynasty, which must be related to the edification of the family.

The Xu family is a big family, and there are countless books in the house, and I think that Xu Jing is very interested in this landscape, and has seen countless ancient books, so he naturally knows this geography.

"Then tell me, what is the terrain near Xishan?" Fang Jifan couldn't help but teach.

Ouyang Zhi and the three of them pitifully picked up the hoe and joined the labor army of Zhang Xin and other pro-military captains, but they came wearing scarves and Confucian robes, and it was inconvenient to work and looked very clumsy.

Xu Jing saw the scene of the three senior brothers sweeping the floor, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Since the students left Beijing, they saw that the mountains had opened up for five miles. Another mile, the mountains are gradually merging, passing along the way, the stream is surrounded by stones, and it is very interesting. There are no peaks in this mountain......"

"Speak human words!" When Fang Jifan heard this, his head was very big.

So Xu Jing said: "The topography of this mountain is very ordinary, but the mountains in the north are rocky, hmm...... The students can't tell for a while, so it's better to ...... Students should explore for their teachers and make a map for their teachers. ”

Fang Jifan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said in surprise: "Hey, you can also draw maps?" ”

The so-called map is a map, and it is really difficult to draw a map accurately, but without a map, it is indeed inconvenient to do many things next, such as the kiln that makes glass next, and the planning of the land, etc.

"When my father was alive, he was the best at this, and the students learned a lot with my father."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you." Fang Jifan nodded happily.

As the captain of Tuntian, there are a lot of things to do, on the one hand, to make glass, on the other hand, to get a brick kiln, to build a large-scale greenhouse, to have bricks to be real, in addition, it is necessary to build a nursery greenhouse, naturally, there is no need to take care of Fang Jifan's 'baby'.

Now in Fang Jifan's opinion, there is nothing more important in this world than the sprouting of sweet potatoes.

But after observing for a few days, there seemed to be no signs of germination, which made Fang Jifan depressed for a while, and his heart was faintly anxious.

On this day, as usual, after explaining the cultivation of his protégé and the people of the Xishan Tuntian Hundred Households, Fang Jifan hid in the greenhouse again, and then came out disappointed, but saw Wang Jinyuan outside: "Childe, there has been a strange person haunting here these days. ”

"Strange people?" Fang Jifan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Jinyuan inquiringly.

"The man was dressed as a scholar and was ...... It should have been less than thirty years, he came early in the morning, and after he came, he didn't say anything, but just squatted on the reclaimed wasteland and watched the people reclaim, motionless, squatting for a long time. ”

"The little one saw that he was a scholar, but it was not easy to drive people away. It's just that in addition to our Xishan coal industry, there is also the Tuntian, where is there any people, at noon, at first he took out dry food from his arms to eat, and then the villain saw that he was pitiful, so he simply beckoned him to have a light meal with everyone, from then on, he did not bring dry food, came early in the morning, squatted to see, did not move, like a stake, when he arrived at the meal, he followed the meal, and left in the evening. ”

Fang Jifan was dumbfounded when he heard this, this rhythm ...... There are still people who rub the food of our successor?

"Let's go, let's see."

So Wang Jinyuan led Fang Jifan to a few miles outside the Tuntian Institute, only to see the captains digging flues here, cultivating them, and sweating one by one.

In their lives, they have never endured so much hardship, but after these days, they have become a lot stronger, and they have also darkened a lot, sweat fluttering on themselves, and green tendons on their arms have burst out, and even the letter has long lost the appearance of a little white face.

Sure enough, not far away, a person who looked like a scholar was squatting on the ground, looking intently at the captains who were in full swing, he pursed his lips, thoughtfully, and even when Fang Jifan approached, he didn't care at all.

Fang Jifan was very unkind, and directly raised his foot from behind him and kicked him in the back.

This is already Fang Jifan's habitual action, it's okay for this guy to come here to mix rice, in fact, Fang Jifan is not a stingy person, but this person looks more like a meticulous work, could it be that he is here to find out the secrets of Xishan?

It's just that...... As soon as this foot went down, the scholar who was squatting on the ground seemed to have a reaction all of a sudden, and immediately turned around, and gently avoided it at a very fast speed.

Fang Jifan directly pounced into the air, staggered, and saw that he was about to fall to the ground, but this scholar was like a spiritual snake, and he actually held Fang Jifan steadily.

Call......

Fang Jifan's face was a little pale and embarrassed.

The scholar took a step back, and said to Fang Jifan: "Student Wang Shouren, don't be surprised if you take the liberty to come here." ”

Wang Shouren......

Wang Shouren, how could Fang Jifan not recognize this guy...... Can also do martial arts?

But soon, Fang Jifan remembered that Wang Shouren had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and learned bow and horses, and in later generations, many people only remembered his identity as a great Confucian, as well as his exploits in leading troops to quell King Ning's rebellion, but they ignored that he was still a skilled master of bow and horses.

Just now, his body is extremely fast, and his speed is amazing, but he is afraid that his martial arts are not weak.

Fang Jifan naturally knew that Wang Shouren would try to rank fourth this time, but Fang Jifan didn't want to befriend Wang Shouren, firstly, it seemed that there was no benefit, and secondly, when his father Wang Hua faced him in Zhan Shifu, he always had an expression that he owed him a million taels of silver.

"What are you doing here?" Fang Jifan naturally wouldn't be polite.

Wang Shouren looked polite, pursed his lips and said, "The student is in Gewu." ”

"Gewu ......" Fang Jifan can't understand!

Wang Shouren said patiently: "It is to study the truth of things, such as how Fang Gongzi's melon is grown." ”

Belch...... It's really an idle egg.

Fang Jifan had no choice but to say, "Oh, I know." ”

If you can't beat him, do you still call a group of people to beat him?

Well, bother to pay attention to him.
