Coming back from Yufu, Yu Xiuer's mind is full of giving birth to children, and Sun Xiangfu is full of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and it is very sad that Sun Xiangfu is not a science and engineering man, so he can only use one way, that is, to throw money.

Batman is because he has money, he can stand side by side with many heroes with superpowers, Sun Xiangfu believes that as long as he is willing to spend money, there is nothing that he can't get, at least, a few students in Hongwenguan have the meaning of eating with him.

So, Ma Lin and Zhang Quan, who had just finished making a manual bowl machine, were called to Sun Xiangfu's study.

"Huh, got it out?"

Sun Xiangfu took a strange thing made of a wooden body, a cylindrical iron sleeve underneath, and a kicking thing.

"It's not difficult to make this thing, but people don't know what it's for, and they think it's expensive." Marin scratched his scalp and said.

"This thing is called a manual bowl machine, as long as you insert the iron sleeve in front of you into the mud, and then step on it with your foot, it can make a nutrient bowl out." Sun Xiangfu grabbed the handle of the handmade bowl machine with both hands, stepped on one foot on the movable iron piece between the two poles, and gave the two of them a demonstration.

"Nutrition bowl?"

The two of them were even more stunned when they heard this, they had never heard this word before.

"Do you know why we can't grow courgettes in Chang'an? Do you know why we can't grow cotton in Chang'an? It is because the nutrition of the seedlings in the early stage can not keep up, the survival rate is low, and the seedling speed is slow, even if it survives, the fruits are small and small.

But with this handmade bowl machine is different, we can first find sufficient fertility of river mud, with manure and plant ash, with this handmade bowl machine to press out a fertile nutrient bowl, in the small hole in the middle of the nutrient bowl to put the seeds, first to the seedlings with high nutrient soil to sprout seedlings, and then transfer to the field, in this way, the survival rate will be very high, and then transplant the initial irrigation of some fertilizer water, the seedling speed will be much more, the seedlings will grow stronger, and the fruit will naturally be plump. ”

Due to the lack of phosphate fertilizers and carbon amines, Sun Xiangfu can only use the most primitive fertilizer raw materials such as manure and stove ash instead, but these primitive things may not be much worse than the effect of chemical products in later generations, but he obviously did not understand the object of preaching today, these breeding knowledge, if it is to Sun Erli, he may be able to understand a little, and to talk to Ma Lin and Zhang Quan, two blacksmiths, they are like deaf people listening to books, half of which they don't understand.

Looking at the confused eyes of the two, Sun Xiangfu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's useless to tell you about this, you go down and tell your subordinate craftsmen to make more of them as they are, in addition, collect some of the materials on this list, and find a few craftsmen to try it according to the general method written above, and see if you can make paper." ”

"Uh, grass, bellflower, and bark can also make paper?"

Seeing the questioning eyes on the faces of the two, Sun Xiangfu didn't bother to explain to them, and said, "If you are asked to do it, you will do it, have you forgotten how the exquisite affairs of our house came about?" Trial and error and don't worry about money. ”

So, the two took the list and left.

Of course, there is a reason why Sun Xiangfu only asked them to study the production method of paper, but did not study pen, ink, and inkstone.

Who says you have to write with a brush? Quill pens and quill pens can also be written!

Who says you have to use ink to write? Other colored pigments are also available!

If you don't need ink to write, you won't need an inkstone! Anyway, Sun Xiangfu's purpose is only to reduce the cost of literacy and reading for ordinary people.

Sun Xiangfu was thinking about some substitute items when Xi Junmai walked in with his thicker and thicker arms.

"I have already recruited all the personnel of the village guard team for you, I will go to the village to train them these days, and come back before the Shangyuan Festival."

"Well, my house in Happy Village will be yours for the time being, remember, food, food, equipment, we don't lose them, give me hard training." Sun Xiangfu nodded and said.

"Just waiting for your words! They all have a very good foundation, and they have practiced it hard for three or five months, and they are definitely not weaker than the Ouchi guards. ”

Compared with the work of taking care of the home, Xi Junmai obviously prefers the military, so when Sun Xiangfu proposed to let him train a 300-person escort team, he agreed without hesitation.

"Go, go, go! I don't plan to go out in the past two days, so I will put things in order in the house, and then arrange the program for the Yuan Festival. ”

Sun Xiangfu waved his hand at Xi Junmai, and when he came out of the study, he began to pick up the pen and write again.

A small retainer from the sixth rank wants to train a private armed force of 300 people, if you don't write a report to Li Shimin, just wait to be stabbed!

In addition, after the Shangyuan Festival, in fact, you can start preparing for spring ploughing, for some planning of the royal farm, also need to be done in advance, the most important thing is that he wants to dig the foundation of the family, not only from the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but also a simpler and more convenient way of education should also be taken out?

As a result, Hanyu Pinyin, something that Sun Xiangfu has lost for more than 20 years, still has to be picked up again.

It was rare to be quiet in the house for two days, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Shimin's will arrived at Sun's mansion.

In the Lizheng Palace, the eldest grandson queen with a bigger and bigger belly sat cross-legged on the warm kang and grinded for Li Shimin, while Li Shimin was writing something according to the fold that Sun Xiangfu handed to the eldest grandson queen before.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty, Niangniang." Sun Xiangfu bent down and saluted.

"Sun Zhengming, you are so bold, you dare to recruit three hundred warriors without my permission, and these people are all from the government army, what do you say?" Li Shimin saw that Sun Xiangfu was coming, and pretended to be angry.

His temper is too fake, Sun Xiangfu can see it at a glance, why? Isn't it clearly written on the fold?

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for everything, many industries in Happy Village are related to the production of the entire Guanzhong next year, and Weichen has to be cautious." Sun Xiangfu bent down and explained.

"It's about the production of the whole Guanzhong? Tell me about it. Sure enough, Li Shimin went down the stairs and took advantage of the situation.

"The various industries of Happy Village, Your Majesty should know that after the construction of the major reservoirs, it is necessary to apply the model of Happy Village to develop and grow, so that Weichen intends to build Happy Village into a breeding and seedling base in Guanzhong, if there is a problem in the birthplace, then, the new fishing farms in other parts of Guanzhong, or the chicken farms, pig farms and new crop farms that are about to be built, will be affected." Sun Xiangfu straightened his body and said.

"Breeding and seedling base? Tell me about this. Li Shimin asked on time.

"Well, let's use a simple analogy! The chicken farm in Xingfu Village raises tens of thousands of chickens, most of which only lay an egg in three or four days, but there are hundreds of chickens, but they can lay an egg in two or three days.

Then, if the chicken farm that is about to be built in the future, all breed this kind of high-yield chicken seedlings, the eggs produced will definitely be improved, and it is not excluded that these high-yield chickens will be talented, let's pick them out again, hatch higher egg production chickens, promote it to the entire Guanzhong, and will again improve the egg production of all chickens, which is the benefit of professional breeding seedlings. Sun Xiangfu explained.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, it turned out that there was such a doorway in a breeding, so he opened his mouth again, "Is it the same for pigs?" ”

"Roughly so, with the largest, the strongest boar with the most calves sows, the production of more piglets, piglets are more willing to grow, happy pig farm village this year there is a sow, a litter gave birth to twelve piglets, and a month later, those piglets are larger than the size of ordinary piglets produced at the same time, this is the benefit of good breeds." Sun Xiangfu explained again.

"You, where did you learn these skills?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this.

"Well, Weichen likes to think about it when he has nothing to do, and after pondering, he found someone to experiment, so he came up with these results." Sun Xiangfu snorted.

"Well, if according to what you said, the industry of this Happy Village is very important, I will draw up a decree to prohibit outsiders from entering and leaving the Ten Miles radius of Happy Village at will, and in addition, the people you recruited, let them be stationed there for the time being!" Li Shimin nodded and said, only three words can explain these things that Sun Xiangfu studied.

"Your Majesty, Sun Zhengming just talked about breeding, but he didn't talk about seedlings!" The eldest grandson reminded without worry.

"Yes, if you can also increase crop yields, I will reward you."

Okay, this time it's a big reward you said personally, brother is serious.

Sun Xiangfu thought so, cleared his throat and said, "This seedling is actually similar to breeding, pick a big and full seed for seeding, and the fruit that grows after the seedling is naturally higher than ordinary seeds." ”

"That's it! Since it's a truth, then I won't reward you. Li Shimin said with some disappointment.

Sun Xiangfu wanted to give him a middle finger at the moment, but he was afraid that what he said was not true, and Li Shimin had a stalk in his heart, so he arched his hand again, "This is just one aspect, the minister has found a way to breed in advance and shorten the growth period of crops." ”

"How?" Li Shimin was in high spirits when he heard this.

"Greenhouse breeding, wait for the weather to get warmer, and then transplant seedlings to the field, vegetables and melons can be done, and the survival rate will be higher than before, and the fruit may be larger, after the Shangyuan Festival, Weichen will start breeding, in March and April, His Majesty should be able to eat cucumbers, cold melons, and other melons and fruits."

"Really?"

Before Sun Xiangfu could finish speaking, Li Shimin interrupted.

"If there is no accident, there should be no problem, of course, the cost of building a greenhouse and maintaining the temperature of the greenhouse is not small, but this method of cultivation and transplantation, can shorten the growth time of crops covering an area of almost one to two months, if this method has been implemented, then, many vegetables and fruits with a shorter growth cycle can be planted twice a year, and at that time, the vegetables and fruits on the table of the people of Datang can be eaten from March and April to late autumn, and even winter," Sun Xiangfu continued.

Two seasons, two seasons of this great agricultural innovation, but unfortunately, Li Shimin still can't fully understand what Sun Xiangfu said, and successfully misinterpreted his meaning, and only focused on the fact that the cost of building a greenhouse for heating is not small.

In his opinion, there is a lot of wasteland to be cultivated in Guanzhong, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, so why spend a huge amount of money to get these things? So Sun Xiangfu made these slightly out of season vegetables and fruits, must be a small number of high-priced products that can only be enjoyed by the rich, there are many ministers who have come to him to cry poor recently, and the corruption and bribery of the imperial court have begun to increase, not because the expenses of these officials are large, and if Sun Xiangfu continues to make money like this, it will not be of much benefit to the management of the imperial court.

He never thought that it must be the peasants who grow these vegetables and fruits, and the rich enjoy the money spent and earned by the peasants, and it is the peasant class that benefits the lowest level, and he has not reflected on how much the narrowing of the gap between the rich and the poor will benefit the stability of the country.
