Chapter 63: The Villain's Fear, the Harvest (Part II)

Li Wei's trip this time is not high-profile or low-key.

There is no deliberate attempt to conceal his whereabouts. Isn't it a shameless thing, do you care about farming, who makes this backward era work hard to make people well-fed! But it is not a great sacrifice, and it will not take away his father's honor again.

So there are no casual clothes, simple cars, and they come to the suburbs.

The car drove to the ground and patted Yang Min: "Get up, it's here." ”

He opened his eyes in a daze and said, "The concubine has been asleep for so long?" ”

"What do you say?"

"It's rude." Very attentive, a little scared. In other words, caring is chaotic, and Fang Xin began to tie up a little, worried about the impression in Li Wei's heart.

not only glanced at Li Wei, but also at Bi'er. Fifteen years old, not too big, not too small, is the time period to open wisdom. The rumors in the capital, she didn't hear them. If you let the capital vote and let the people choose the crown princess, especially after Jiang Bi'er kneels, even if Jiang Bi'er is not from a good background, it is estimated that more than one million people, at least one million people can choose Jiang Bi'er as the crown princess. And the number of people who choose themselves to be the crown princess will not exceed 100,000.

It used to be a little tasteful, but now it is worried and cringe. I don't dare to treat her as a little palace maid.

Bi'er just smiled sweetly, and Yang Min seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Li Wei didn't notice this small action of the two people.

"What a rudeness!" These days, I am reading the three rites, and I am tired of reading them, and according to what the three rites books say, it is better to kill him with a knife. As he spoke, he rubbed her twisted head with some love. There was no way, I cut my long hair, and it didn't grow for a while, so I combed a Belle bun in the front, and combed it into a few small pieces in the back to cover up the past.

The car stopped at the gate of Huangzhuang, and it was also where Li Wei tested the crops.

It's the first time I've been here, and I've looked up. Compared with the ordinary farmland at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Huangzhuang is a little better, and although the water from the ditch is used, even if the drought is severe, the wheat does not grow very badly. Ears of wheat spit unevenly on the green stalks.

The density is acceptable, but there is a difference, the wheat ears are much smaller than in his previous life, and the wheat stalks are also short.

Of course, it is definitely not as good, otherwise it is impossible to have only two stones of grain output per acre. In the distance, a small manor, there are some pavilions, there are some thatched houses, and there are many green willows and mulberry acacia surrounding, a small pond in front of the green willows, although the drought is serious, Huangzhuang, the water will not be lacking, the spring water is full of water, rippling in the distance. There are some ducks and geese in the pond, playing in the water.

It's a poetic sight.

The person in charge of the Huangzhuang had already brought a group of people to greet him, nodding his head, the level was too high. A group of people don't know what to give in order to express their inner respect.

"Excuse me," Li Wei was very depressed in his heart, if it wasn't for pretending to be sick, he would have been in the East Palace for a long time, and it would be a pleasant thing to come to this elegant imperial village to relax. It's okay now, in order to pretend to be a little more like, Zuo Bi'er, right Liu Qun, hold on. I also have to let the eunuch hold a Luo umbrella, and he can't leave him, otherwise the sun will shine, and the yellow powder on his face will flutter down, that ......

Cut through the mess and deal with the matter immediately.

After finishing speaking, he strode into the Huangzhuang, regardless of why a person who was so sick walked so fast.

After walking for a while, he pointed to a paddy field, and the person in charge said, "Your Highness, this is what you have instructed the field." ”

I looked at it, and there were a lot of dug milk vetch inside, which was different from the later ones, because it was not deliberately cultivated, and the leaves were smaller, but the leaves were purple, and they seemed to look older. I don't know how good the effect is with the milk vetch that was artificially cultivated in later generations. There are also some artemisia annua as well as bean stalks.

After soaking for several days, some of them began to rot, and the fields became a little purple and black.

When the wind blew, the smell was a little unpleasant, Yang Min couldn't help but cover his nose with his little white hand, but he saw Li Wei standing by the ridge and watching with great interest, and immediately put his hand down.

In fact, I can't see why, but I know that after a period of time, these fields, about a dozen acres of land, will be very fertile. If the weather is good, the fields will be dried and ploughed with oxen, and no matter what crops are planted, there will be a good harvest. It was also just the time to transfer the load.

He nodded and said, "You guys are doing a good job." ”

"Your Highness's orders, the servants dare not slack off, Your Highness, continue to please."

Brought Li Wei to a small ditch again, this is a small field for making seeds. The trial planting is sorghum, but it is a little late, after all, Li Wei instructed that cooked fertilizer was used, that is, the manure of various livestock, as well as various oil cake fertilizers, plus plant ash, were put together to ferment and cook.

In fact, there are also people who have done this, but they don't pay attention to it.

Then comes the most important part, which is to put the seeds in the nutrient bowl.

One after another, when the common people heard that the prince had arrived here, they rushed over curiously, and the guards were just about to arch the guard, Li Wei shook his hand. That's Helan Minzhi, these people have no hatred or hatred against him, and they don't have that guts. I was about to give them a demonstration.

The seeds were first sifted and soaked in brine. After repeated elimination, all that remains are full seeds. This is only the first step, and when they are transferred to the field, some seedlings that are not growing well will be further eliminated.

The nutrient bowl is mixed with fermented fertilizer and loosened soil and placed on the ridges. Bamboo bows are also placed on both sides of the ridges, and at night, the straw curtains are closed. The latter one is too much, but Guanzhong, near the northwest, sometimes there is a cold wave.

Li Wei himself couldn't figure it out, right or wrong. It's a mess, and some of the methods from the previous life, as well as the methods seen from "Qi Min's Technique", have been brought in.

Watching the tenant farmers at work, and talking to the steward, that is, instructing. The density of the transfer is now a wide range of seeds, and the harvest is not high, but the amount of seeds is very large, and the density is a little higher. Actually, this is very disadvantageous. I was afraid that the people in the Huangzhuang couldn't help but carry it densely, so I specially compared the plant spacing and row spacing, and instructed the time, about twenty-seven days, five or six leaf ages. Then it was fertilization and watering, and all kinds of things were carefully explained. Also, there wasn't much rain this spring. It also made Li Wei very worried, if the drought continues, it will not be conducive to the autumn harvest, and there may be locust plagues, which will eventually appear with drought.

Therefore, I have repeatedly instructed that no matter what, if there are insects, even if you catch them by hand and take care of them day and night, you can't let the insects waste these dozen acres of land. Look at this new method, how much grain can be harvested in one acre of land.

Since His Highness ordered this, the steward had no choice but to agree.

In fact, whether it is the person in charge or the onlookers, they don't think so, the first one is cumbersome. If they all plant crops in his way, how many people will have to serve them? The second is the high cost, not to mention that the salt is reluctant to be used, and where to get these farm fertilizers.

But the prince's heart is good. In other princes, who cares about this production, even if they care, it is a fake concern. Then there is a prince who came to Langmu in person to do a demonstration?

In order to show prudence, the person in charge also brought a pen and wrote down all what Li Wei said.

But I thought in my heart, no matter what, it would be good to serve these dozen acres of land, even if it was two and a half stones, it would really not work, and getting two stones to produce it would also make the prince happy.

Bi'er was also very worried, and asked quietly, "Will this be successful?" ”

Li Wei is not sure, when he was a child, he remembered that the yield of one mu of land was about six or seven hundred catties, seven or eight hundred catties, which was very high. Later, when I entered the city, I heard that the yield per mu was 1,000 catties, and even a high-yield field of 1,000 kilograms. But the current seed, as well as other factors, made it impossible for him to estimate.

At least it is higher than the current yield, so he said: "Look, you can see it after the autumn, not to mention anything else, the yield of three stones per acre of land is about no problem." ”

The steward listened to it beside him, and his face was a little bitter. He was wrong, thinking that the prince was a little happy, and the yield of three stones per mu? How do you make it yourself?

Bi'er was very convinced, jumped up, and said, "If three stones, plus one season of wheat, wouldn't the yield be amazing?" ”

"I don't know, if you serve well, there should be more than just two stones of production at present." Dai Zhide was very proud of the two stones per mu of production, but Li Wei did not approve of it. Even if it is two stones, throwing away the seeds, it is still an amazing seed, how much can be harvested?

He still has great hopes for the final harvest of these fields, and the output of three stones is already his bottom line. Of course, don't come up with a terrifying data, and if a demon moth comes out again, my father won't like it at that time. Three stones is the bottom line, four stones is the highest limit, and it cannot be exceeded!

So when I thought of this, I was very depressed.

If it weren't for the crown prince, it was someone else, and it would be fine if he made a twenty-stone acre of output.

In fact, he didn't know, especially this nutrient bowl seedling, coupled with other mature technologies, the people in the Huangzhuang must be carefully served. The final grain production will be ...... Well, it's going in the direction he's worried about.

Gradually, it was noon, and the sun was getting hot. Li Wei didn't dare to stay any longer, otherwise he would sweat yellow, so he left.

After getting into the carriage, Yang Min said, "Your Highness, the concubine is very happy today. ”

"It doesn't matter, when my father makes a holy decree and executes Wu Minzhi, you can come out and relax."

"That's not what the concubine meant, enter the East and East Palaces in the future," he said boldly, and said with a red face: "The rules must also be observed." The concubine body is to say, accompany His Royal Highness out, the concubine body is very happy. ”

Of course, the former prince was old-fashioned, taciturn, and a sick man, and he was not very happy to let anyone else, unless he coveted his status. The current prince, in addition to not knowing how to hang "lonely" all day long, has not cultivated a shelf, although sometimes he has a temper, but he is easy-going, sometimes he is funny, and he knows cold and hot, even Di Renjie Wei Yuanzhong, such an arrogant person has fallen into it, and she.

Yang Min said again: "Your Highness, you know a lot. ”

"Where's the more?"

"Even the crop work, you know," Speaking of this, the little star at a glance, just now she saw Li Weichong's guidance from the imperial village and the people nearby, and she was all in a daze.

"This is nothing, there is a golden house in the book, and I have read "Qi Min's Technique" a few times, which introduces a lot of knowledge about farm work." When Li Wei said this, he was thinking about another thing. Farm work can be prevaricated with "Qi Min Yaoshu", but what about the salt drying method? The price of salt is very high, which is also related to the happiness of thousands of families. Moreover, once this law was opened, it was also beneficial to the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty.

But there doesn't seem to be any ancient book about this method, right?

But he smiled and thought to himself, ordinary people, just fulfill their responsibilities, they can't take care of themselves, how can they take care of others. It's better to put your own safety first, don't let your parents be suspicious, that's the most important thing.

……

When he arrived at Yang's mansion, Yang Min, who was watching joy, entered the gate, but Mrs. Yang greeted him again, and Li Wei hurriedly said, "Get up." ”

I didn't even bother to say hello.

After a while, the imperial city was near.

At this moment, a guard was running in a hurry, and just when he looked up and saw Li Wei's car, he stopped it. The guards of Gongwei Li Wei did not know this person, and immediately drew their horizontal knives and put them on his neck.

The guard shouted loudly outside, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside? ”

Li Wei was a little surprised, walked down and asked, "Who are you, what's the matter with finding a lonely?" ”

"The servant is also a guard, he is to protect the little princess, Your Highness, save the little princess, the little princess has an accident."

"What's going on?" Li Wei was a little strange.

"She went to the Zhou Guogong Mansion today to pay tribute to Mrs. Rongguo......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Wei grabbed him and asked, "You just said, something happened!" ”
