After dinner, the two made a pot of tea. Only then did Zhu Youzhen say with a straight face: "Mr. Xu, I specially invited you to come here this time because of the sweet potato planting. ”

Zhu Youzhen paused, waited for Xu Guangqi to get used to it, and then continued: "In the spring, I will arrange for Huangzhuang to plant your sweet potatoes according to your sparseness. Unexpectedly, because I didn't notice the temperature, I almost caused the particles to be harvested. Despite good management, the final harvest was much smaller than expected. ”

"What?" Xu Guangqi looked surprised, after he came to Huangzhuang, his mind was focused on the corn, and he didn't notice the harvest of sweet potatoes at all.

When he was in Shanghai, he heard Chu Tianxing say that sweet potatoes yield 7 stones per mu, but he didn't think that this yield was small.

When he experimented in Tianjin, the highest was more than 10 stones, but the average yield per mu was only 6 or 7 stones. He didn't think at all that King Xin came to his door because the yield of sweet potatoes per mu was too small.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but ask: "Your Royal Highness King Xin, how many acres of yield do you expect?" ”

"20 stones" Zhu Youzhen said without hesitation, "I think the yield of sweet potatoes should be about the same as potatoes." This is the first time to grow potatoes and there is no experience at all. In this way, 13 stone was collected. Sweet potatoes have a complete planting manual and the yield should outperform potatoes. However, because of the lack of attention to the temperature required for planting, the yield is not as good as that of potatoes. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Xu Guangqi's somewhat surprised expression and continued: "As for how much output they can reach? When this second season is over, you'll know. ”

"What?" This was the second time Xu Guangqi exclaimed, and he couldn't help but be surprised. How dare His Royal Highness King Xin make such an arrangement, how can the earth power keep up? You must know that overdrawing the land may destroy the fertile land of Huangzhuang. Doesn't anyone in the Huangzhuang dare to speak out against each other?

Xu Guangqi hurriedly advised: "His Royal Highness King Xin, you can't be in such a hurry!" In such a short period of time, two seasons in a row. Once the land is overdrawn, it will ruin this fertile land! ”

"It doesn't matter", Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to signal Xu Guangqi not to worry, "I have found more than a dozen veterans who have been farming for many years, and I have carefully investigated them, and the soil strength can keep up." You can check it out tomorrow. ”

Xu Guangqi saw that he was confident, and he didn't want to say anything for a while. I heard Zhu Youzhen continue: "Mr. Xu, I invited you here because I want you to compile planting manuals for these new crops like "Sweet Potato Shu". I would like to have a detailed planting manual for each crop. In this way, it is convenient for farmers to learn to plant and to promote new crops. ”

Xu Guangqi was shocked by King Xin's wish.

If, as King Shin said, a detailed planting manual could be compiled for these new crops with high yields. That means that promotion is no longer a problem, and farmers everywhere only need to follow the map.

If these high-yielding new crops can really be promoted to the world, how many people can be saved? This is a great good deed that illuminates all homes!

If the wish of the king can really be fulfilled, what a great merit!

Looking at King Xin's expectant eyes, Xu Guangqi felt a little heavy on his shoulders. For a moment, he only felt that his mouth was dry, his heart was pounding, and his brain was in chaos.

Xu Guangqi opened his mouth and took a desperate breath as if he was drowning to survive. He closed his eyes and said something in his mouth.

After a long time, Xu Guangqi opened his eyes, and his face had regained calm. He looked at King Xin and said word by word: "Since King Xin intends to benefit the people of the world, Zi Xian is willing to help the prince." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Guangqi was firmly tied to Zhu Youzhen.

For the sake of the world, abandon yourself, sacrifice yourself and take righteousness.

This is the traditional Chinese sense of taxi;

The one who died for his confidant;

The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman.

These traditional Chinese taxis are the real backbone of China.

No matter which dynasty or generation, there will always be such a group of people, who are either famous all over the world or unknown, but they all have a noble sentiment in their hearts that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the people of the world.

How can this kind of real taxi not make people awe-inspired.

Xu Guangqi's statement deeply shocked Zhu Youzhen, and he understood the weight of Xu Guangqi's words.

"I'm the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty! In order to promote new crops, Xu Guangqi was willing to give up his political life to help him. How much determination does he have to make? ”

Although he didn't know where he moved Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but stand up. He was dressed uprightly and solemnly swore to Xu Guangqi: "I, Zhu Youzhen, swear here, that I will live up to Mr. Wang's expectations in this life." ”

The two sat down again, Zhu Youzhen felt that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and he deliberately said easily: "Sir, your body is the most important. You don't have to work too hard, tomorrow I will arrange 5 people from the government to follow you, be your assistants, and everything will be under your command. In order to ensure your good health, we strive to come up with the first draft of the planting manual as soon as possible. First in the Huangzhuang promotion, in the promotion of the slowly add and correct various details. ”

"What?" Xu Guangqi exclaimed for the third time today, but this time he didn't ask directly, but closed his eyes and thought quietly for a while.

After about half an hour, Xu Guangqi opened his eyes and sighed, "Lord Wang, I see you." ”

Yes, as long as you plant it properly, you can come up with a first draft based on it. Then carry out small-scale promotion according to the first draft, and make supplementary modifications if errors and omissions are found in the promotion process.

Although this method is not rigorous enough, it is far more efficient than repeatedly verifying and then promoting.

The next day, Xu Guangqi rushed to the field where sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted early in the morning. Worried about the power of the earth, he couldn't sleep all night.

The situation in the field surprised Xu Guangqi again.

The fields where sweet potatoes and potatoes are planted for the second season are thriving.

After Xu Guangqi's test, the soil strength did not look like a field where a crop had been planted at all, but rather like a field that had been fallow for a year.

Even if Huangzhuang is all good land, it shouldn't be so good? Xu Guangqi looked at the field in a daze. He felt that there were too many things that surprised him in the past two days.

On the far road, two farmers pushed a wheelbarrow and walked slowly.

Seeing the wheelbarrow, Xu Guangqi realized that he was not surprised at all. "Hehe, King Xin's Huangzhuang is really willing to spend money."

The farmer saw Xu Guangqi, who was wearing a long robe, approaching them, and quickly avoided the roadside. Xu Guangqi leaned over curiously. The farmer's wheelbarrow is full of fertilizer, so it's no wonder that two people need to take care of the same cart.

Xu Guangqi paid special attention to these fertilizers: "Well, they are all good compost." ”

This fertilizer is very easy to use and has a high fertilizer efficiency, but it takes a long time to mold, and the quantity is relatively small. The average person doesn't have a lot of compost like this.

After looking at the old farmer with a happy face, Xu Guangqi suddenly had an idea, can't this fertilizer also be obtained by King Xin? He asked the old farmer, "Where did this fertilizer come from?" Is the quantity enough? ”

The old farmer's answer surprised Xu Guangqi again.

The fertilizer was indeed sent by King Xin, and Xu Guangqi was not surprised. He was surprised that the old farmer actually said that there was enough fertilizer in the field.

Oops, that's a shame! Where did Shin get so much fertilizer? No wonder the soil strength of those fields will be maintained so well.
