Chapter 94 Zhu Fengchun's troubles

Nowruz means the spring rain day of the ancient Turks, which is also called the Spring Festival with Nowruz Festival, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty, and is a festival for the Turkic tribes to prepare for spring cultivation and production, greening, beautification and purification of the environment.

The Turks are nomadic peoples, so Nowruz represents another great migration of herders in search of grasslands with more fertile water and grass as new pastures.

For the agrarian countries under Turkic rule, Nowruz meant that it was about to enter the agricultural season again.

Most of the countries after the Liangjie Mountains submitted to the Turkic Khan, and the Qu Zhi State was just pulled out of the Turkic rule by Xiang Gong and others.

The Uighurs, Xianbei, Tiele and other tribes also belonged to the subordinate dependency of the Turks.

Therefore, Nowruz is also an important festival for these countries and tribes.

A few months before the start of Nowruz, the tribes and countries had to prepare the materials needed for the Turkic khans, of which dyes and spices were very important.

During the three-day period of the festival, the Turks should dress up, and the Turkic khans and their clan members should also wear traditional national costumes to worship the heavens and the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, and the ancestors.

And Zhu Fengchun is the one who prepared for the dyeing of these traditional clothing fabrics this year.

"You still have this craft?" Driving away the Turkic envoys, Zhu Fengchun introduced Xiang Gong to the troubles he encountered, and Xiang Gong couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It's just a matter of doing it, I'm more interested in growing flowers." Zhu Fengchun smiled a little embarrassed.

"That means you don't have the dye you need yet?" Xiang Gong asked.

"Alas, it's hard to say, there are generally two ways to dye this cloth, the more commonly used is plant dyeing, to extract dyes from plants, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits.

There are many kinds of dyes dyed by plants and trees, such as madder red, grass yellow, hazelnut mistletoe black, locust beige, especially bluegrass, which can refine indigo, which dyes plants more deeply.

The dyes of stone dyeing are relatively less, and muscovite, red cinnabar, black graphite, gold and silver, etc. belong to stone dyeing dyes, which are mostly used as coating dyes.

In addition, there are some insect dyes, which are not easy to refine, so there are few types and are rarely used. Zhu Fengchun's words really surprised Xiang Gong, this is like a few treasures, where is it just a casual thing, it is simply a dye expert.

"So, your family grows so many flowers and plants, in addition to refining dyes, they are used to refine spices? Huh? Could it be that dyes and spices can be refined without interfering with each other? Xiang Gong suddenly thought of those colorful flowers in the Gao family's compound, it turned out that they still had such a big role!

Listening to Xiang Gong's words, Zhu Fengchun was stunned, but he didn't expect this kid to immediately think of the secret that he also made dyes and spices, it's not simple!

"I'm trying to refine it at the same time, but it's a pity that it's very difficult, and because of this, I have delayed the preparation of Nowruz supplies, alas, the gains outweigh the losses!" Zhu Fengchun shook his head helplessly.

"Say, how much is it missing, I'll figure it out for you!" Xiang Gong patted his chest happily and assured.

"I can't catch up, the dyeing process of Dashi is backward than us, the color of the dyes is very second, the Tang Dynasty is high and the road is far away, it takes a few months to go back and forth, and the surrounding small countries have to take dyes from me, and it is impossible to supply them to me, and the most important thing is that my dye raw materials will take at least three months to mature.

There is still a month left on the first day of Nowruz, and if you can't get the dye together within half a month, you will definitely not be able to catch up with the deadline given by Jieli Khan to the clan, alas......"

Zhu Fengchun frowned, but Xiang Gong had some ideas in his heart, but he himself was not sure whether it was feasible, and he didn't want to boast about Haikou first, so he comforted: "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"Where is the way? In order to get together the dye as soon as possible, I worked hard to find this feng shui treasure, Lingshan is the only place in such a valley like spring all year round, now in this season, where is the other place suitable for planting flowers and grass? Even if it's suitable, it's too late! ”

After Zhu Fengchun finished speaking, he shook his head and walked out, Xiang Gong did not send it far, and when Zhu Fengchun walked away, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he closed the doors and windows and entered the plantation space.

In the plantation space, corn is planted at the moment, and it is amazing that the ears of grain are as thick as a child's arm.

For a long time, Xiang Gong has been busy with the trade agreement between the Tang Dynasty and Qu Zhi, some trivial matters after Heifeng Jiwei, and taking care of the injuries of Wukong and others by the way. So much so that when he entered the plantation space again, the whole person felt like a ghost.

There is no way, the seedlings planted in the prison cell, the branches have grown to the thickness of an inch, Xiang Gong quickly cleaned up.

After combing the branches, looking at the sweet potatoes the size of a small watermelon hanging on the rhizome, Xiang Gong made a rough estimate, it was almost to the fattest ground, and the harvest of the tenth period was completed.

This plantation space not only shortens the growth period to one-tenth of the original, but also nearly ten times the harvest of ordinary fertile land, which is a hundredfold effect bonus!

Because of the species of sweet potato, it is difficult to say that there is no one in Datang at the moment, but Xiang Gong is definitely the first pioneer of such large-scale planting?

Inevitably shocking the world, Xiang Gong picked up the sweet potatoes several times, then steamed and dried, and collected them in the treasure bag, and so on, there is really nothing to eat, these dried sweet potatoes will play a big role.

Later, Xiang Gong conducted several experiments, and determined at noon that the growth period of ordinary plants of three months, with the addition of plantation space, can grow in only three days, and there is also a tenfold harvest.

Therefore, Xiang Gong is here for this bonus effect this time.

This was simply specially designed to solve Zhu Fengchun's urgent needs, so although these corn grains were just planted yesterday, Xiang Gong still decided to pull them all out without hesitation, vacate the vacant land, and prepare to plant dye flowers.

But before you really get your hands dirty. Xiang Gong needs to determine a few things.

In the plantation space before, Xiang Gong planted things, except for sweet potatoes, were millet grains, and the seeds were obtained by doing tasks.

What Xiang Gong needs to determine now is whether seeds or seedlings that are not obtained through tasks can grow in the plantation space, and if so, whether they can still have such a perverted bonus effect.

So, Xiang Gong first cleared a small patch of millet seedlings, cut a few flower branches in the garden outside, and inserted them into the field in the plantation space.

By the way, after pouring some water, Xiang Gong was about to go out of the plantation space, but at this time, he suddenly heard the system prompt sound, Xiang Gong's footsteps were stunned.
