Seeing Tao Qian's admit, Li Ming silently despised him in his heart, and at the same time, he was also immersed in the development of the territory's agriculture.

The most intuitive evaluation of agriculture in the past dynasties is that 'no agriculture is unstable', for the people, as long as they can eat and clothe, and the officials do not collect taxes so ruthlessly, then it is a peaceful and prosperous era. It's a bit ironic, but the so-called peaceful and prosperous era of all dynasties is actually that simple, and Kang Mazi even used sweet potatoes and corn to pile up a 'peaceful and prosperous era'.

Huiji County, Luling County, and Fujian County are not rich in grain, especially in Fujian Province in later generations, which has always been short of grain, so generations of Fujian people have to go to the sea to beg for a living, and they are also forced out by grain.

No, since the three counties are not suitable for growing grain, and Li Ming does not want to destroy the environment through terraced fields, it is necessary to develop Wu County, Danyang County, Yuzhang County and Changsha County to the greatest extent, and even try to buy grain in Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, and if necessary, buy it in Guangling County and Xiapi County.

Yizhou has already begun to develop, and in one to two years, it will be able to feed back to Huiji County and Fujian County, and many of the cost problems of grain transportation can be solved at that time.

"Peanuts ripe? This is the second season...... What is the yield? The steward in his own Zhuangzi came to report, and when he learned the news that the peanuts were ripe again, Li Ming was immediately interested.

In terms of agricultural reform, Li Ming temporarily put Zhang Mo in charge of the upgrading of Danyang County, and Ren Jun in charge of Yuzhang County and Changsha County. Their experience is more experienced than their own, because Li Ming doesn't want to do the thing of 'layman managing insider'.

In contrast, home-grown peanuts are worthy of attention.

This year's peanut yield has increased slightly by two percent compared with the first season, and the yield has increased by nearly twice as much as the previous expansion of the number of acres." The steward hurriedly reported the data.

"As far as we Zhuangzi are concerned?" Li Ming immediately asked, the first batch of peanuts was only 100 catties, and after deducting the part that failed to sprout, more than 1,000 kilograms were harvested.

Li Ming took out 500 catties, not only for tasting, but also for some to his subordinates, so that they could go back to planting. They have realized the value of this crop, and now they should be able to harvest it one after another. As for the remaining 500 catties, Li Ming replaced all the crops in the Zhuangzi with peanuts, and the result was another bumper harvest this year.

"Can we plant another season this year?" Li Ming looked at the steward.

"It can be, but it's a waste of land, and the old slave thinks it's better to plant a season of beans. The old slave has already instructed the tenants below to work harder, so that the soybeans are fuller and more soybean oil can be squeezed! The steward replied.

"Well, you know more about this than I do. Since it's suitable for growing beans, let's plant beans! Li Ming nodded.

After thinking about it, he continued to instruct: "Take out a thousand catties of harvested peanuts, keep the rest and continue to plant, remember to dry the peanuts, otherwise it is easy to grow mold." In addition, moldy peanuts must be thrown away, Aspergillus flavus is poisonous! ”

"The old slave understands!" The steward replied tremblingly.

Three days later, Li Chong's seventh birthday arrived, strictly speaking, he is only six years old this year, but according to custom, the year he was born is one year old, this is also called a virtual year, and Li Chong is now seven years old.

The little guy began to practice Qi when he was four years old, and for two years, he insisted on soaking in medicinal baths every day, taking medicines that strengthened his foundation, and even prepared a large amount of big fish and meat at home to supply his consumption.

Any Qi practitioner who wants to condense the innate Qi must soak in medicinal baths and take medicines that strengthen the foundation and peiyuan from an early age. It seems that this is the only way to expand the body's meridians and strengthen them for the coming awakening.

It is said that if you cultivate the exercises above the middle grade of the yellow level, there is a certain probability that you can awaken the innate qi. However, if you want to do it 100%, it is best to cultivate from the Xuan level, and it is best to cultivate from the secret book above the middle grade of the Xuan level. After cultivating, one must awaken the innate qi before the age of twelve, otherwise he can only enter the cultivation of the acquired qi. The first twelve years old can be said to be the most critical time.

"Ten minutes off!" Li Ming, as usual, instructed Li Chong to practice martial arts. In fact, for a seven-year-old child, martial arts training is mainly based on physical fitness, and the amount of exercise is not much, at most it is equivalent to the level of adult warm-up.

The child's body has not grown up in the end, and excessive squeezing will only overdraw his potential and vitality. Science, whether it is practicing Qi or martial arts, everything must pay attention to scientific training and reasonable work and rest.

"Father, in the near future, I plan to retreat and try to condense the innate Qi!" Li Chong wiped his sweat and stepped forward to plead.

"My original plan was for you to start cohesion next year. The condensation of the innate Qi carries some risks in the end, and the father hopes that you can challenge it when you grow more. Li Ming said worriedly.

"The child has been cultivating for more than two years, and his father has prepared a lot of elixir-level solid foundation peiyuan medicine for the child, and the medicinal bath has also been further improved, and the child has benefited a lot, and he has grown rapidly in the past two years. Because of this, the child thinks that you can try to condense the innate Qi in advance, even if it doesn't succeed, at least I have experience, I'm still young, and I'll challenge it next time! Li Chong said confidently.

"Since you have this confidence, then what I can do is to bless you!" Li Ming smiled and touched Li Chong's head, which was already more than one meter and three meters tall, the little guy was not short of nutrition, and he grew up quickly.

After Li Chong finished resting, he went to meditate and practice. He had to be fully prepared for condensing the innate qi, and at most for these two days, he would most likely have to retreat.

Li Ming didn't think about it, if Li Chong couldn't condense the innate Qi before the age of twelve. Then he can use the fifth subordinate quota on him, so that he can at least shorten the process of condensation by leveling up.

After a simple cleaning and a change of dry clothes, Li Ming got into the carriage and went to the government office.

The biggest thing today is probably the promotion of peanuts. The families of Yuzhang County, Changsha County, Luling County and Danyang County have all brought over, and Li Ming plans to distribute 1,000 catties of peanuts for them to plant.

When he came to the mansion, he was considered to be fast, and Wang Yu and Liu Miao came one after another. The former already knew about the existence of peanuts, and he also set aside some fields in Zhuangzi in Wu County to grow these things. However, Liu Miao heard about it for the first time, and knew that this thing could be used to squeeze oil, and the taste was not bad, and the oil residue could also be fed to livestock and even hungry, plus the yield was also very high, so he was naturally interested.

Dahan used to want to eat oil, mainly cauliflower oil, or animal oil, cauliflower oil tastes bad, and the source of animal oil is unstable, and the price is not cheap. Lack of oil and water, the people can only eat more food to replenish, so that the consumption of food will increase, the key lack of oil and water, most of the people are yellow and thin, giving people the feeling of little strength.

"This one is called a peanut, is it really that amazing?" Liu Miao couldn't help but look at Li Ming.

"I'll cook it on the spot later, so everyone can taste it, and adults might as well try it when the time comes, and you'll know that what I'm saying is true!" Li Ming arched his hand and said, nominally Liu Miao is still his top boss.

"If it's that magical, then you've done a great job!" Liu Miao couldn't help but sigh.
