After Liu Zhaoji came over, Luo Jian asked him to select more than ten capable people in the army, and each prepared two horses to escort Lu Wei and Xing'er to Liuyang to find Mrs. Gao and the rest of the Dashun army.

When Luo Jian went to the study to prepare the letter, Liu Lan followed behind and said:

"Brother Luo, you don't have to write a letter, do you? Contribute your phone, right? ”

"You mean the video for Apricot to bring?"

"Why not? It shook them up. ”

When Luo Jian heard it, he felt that it made sense, this mobile phone is useless here, and I am afraid that it will be scrapped in a few days, but the mobile phone has not been charged for a long time, so I have to fully charge it first.

Liu Zhaoji said beside him: "Xinghua, don't you bring them some 'gifts'?" ”

"Gifts? Oh, by the way, if it weren't for Brother Liu's reminder, I almost forgot. These ten people each carry thirty pieces, what do you think, Brother Liu? ”

"Okay, I'll go back and pick people, and give them a detailed explanation, you prepare first, and I'll arrange them to come to your house after I arrange it." Liu Zhaoji finished speaking and left.

I thought that if Shi Kefa could also say a few words, the effect might be better, so I called Shi Kefa over again.

The recording made Shi Kefa extremely awkward, and after trying several times, Liu Lan felt that it was barely possible.

Luo Jian was much more comfortable, and soon said what he had to say, and Liu Lan also ran over to tell Mrs. Gao.

After recording, Liu Lan called Lu Wei and Xing'er over to teach them how to use their mobile phones, and it took a lot of time to make sure that both of them could use it, so they gave up.

While waiting for the phone to charge, Luo Jian called Lu Wei aside again and talked to him for a long time.

Finally about to leave, Xing'er cried again and took out a burden from the house, handed it to Liu Lan, and said while crying: "Sister, this is the clothes I made for him, I can't wait for him to come back." ”

"What are you crying about, find someone and bring them back quickly, all women, it's not a matter of being in the army for a long time. You stinky girl didn't come back soon, I don't care if Wang Qiang was snatched away by others. Liu Lan's eyes were red as she spoke, Xing'er had been with her for so long, the two were like sisters, and I don't know when we would see each other again when we were separated, it was false to say that I was not sad.

Shi Kefa didn't go back after recording the image, because he was afraid of delaying time, so he ran outside to find a chair and sit down and read the book, but he didn't know that it was time for lunch.

Luo Jian pulled Shi Kefa for lunch, afraid that he would break his eyes by continuing to read, and remembered that he said yesterday that the sweet potato had been planted, so he dragged him out of the city together.

The two of them walked past the garrison of the first division with their escorts, and saw a group of captive soldiers undergoing intense training, it seemed that they had been training for a long time, and the queue movement was already like that.

Walking through the small river outside the camp, he soon arrived at the military reclamation farm, and when he saw the sweet potatoes that had been planted, Luo Jian immediately cried and laughed.

Seeing that Luo Jian and Shi Kefa were coming, the retired veteran who was farming hurriedly called Deputy General Du, who was in charge of the farm, over.

Because of his age, Vice General Du is really not suitable for being in the army anymore, and he is willing to be in charge of this farm, so he is arranged here.

Luo Jian asked him how many sweet potato seeds he had bought, and Vice General Du said that there were five carts in total.

Pointing to the sweet potato field in front of him, which was not planted very much, Luo Jian asked, "You guys just planted it like this?" ”

Shi Kefa looked at the neatly leveled plot and asked Luo Jian suspiciously: "Xinghua, is there anything wrong with this?" Do you know how to grow sweet potatoes? ”

"How many days has this sweet potato been planted?" Luo Jian didn't answer, just asked anxiously.

"It's been less than three days since I returned to the Grand Duke." Seeing that Luo Jian was in a hurry, Vice General Du hurriedly replied.

"Hurry up and find someone to get them all out, be careful not to break the skin, sweet potatoes are not your method! Didn't anyone tell you that you need to ridge sweet potatoes for planting? Didn't anyone tell you how you planted the seeds when you bought them? ”

Luo Jian looked at the sweet potatoes cut in the ground like cutting seedlings, a little strange, are all sweet potatoes grown like this at this time?

"Governor, the seed sellers say that's how they grow it." Vice Admiral Du replied.

Luo Jian then understood that the cultivation of crops is also progressing in continuous exploration, and now sweet potatoes have not been fully promoted, which may be related to incorrect cultivation methods, and the yield of this method will definitely not be very high, the yield is not high, and the people's desire to plant is small.

Fortunately, there were many people in the army, and everyone picked up the sweet potatoes from the ground with their hands, and after a while, five carts of sweet potatoes were all taken out of the field.

"Let me tell you, these seeds are all planted in these military reclamation lands, and you only planted such a small amount of land."

Luo Jian asked people to bring a hoe as he spoke, and Vice General Du hurriedly led people to learn from the side, and soon got up and down.

"The sweet potato soil should be loose, watering and fertilizing should pay attention to the season, this breeding is more particular, this kind of sub-land must be fertilized, it is best to use farmhouse fertilizer, oh, now there is no other fertilizer except farmhouse fertilizer."

Luo Jian slowly told everyone that he grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he had seen a lot of these things, but he still couldn't remember some things clearly, and he turned on the computer to check it last night.

After speaking, he took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Vice General Du, asking him to find literate people to study and plant them in strict accordance with the above methods.

"Brother Xian, if this sweet potato fertilizer is enough and the method is appropriate, there should be no problem with a yield of 3,000 catties per mu."

"Xinghua, what do you say? Three thousand pounds? You're not kidding, are you? ”

"Hehe, Brother Xian, this is an extremely conservative number of three thousand catties, a truly excellent variety, and the output can reach more than 10,000 catties. However, I think this variety may not have such a high yield, but this farmland is next to the barracks, and there will be no shortage of organic fertilizer, so three thousand catties should not be a big problem. ”

"If this sweet potato is popularized, won't there be no hunger in the world? What is this organic fertilizer? Shi Kefa said with a red face.

"Hehe, this human and animal manure is organic fertilizer, of course it has to be fermented in the pool. Although this sweet potato is full of treasures, it is not enough to eat it alone, and this staple food must be rice, millet and wheat. ”

"A treasure all over your body?" Shi Kefa became a curious baby.

"Sweet potatoes themselves can be eaten raw or cooked; Sweet potatoes that can't be eaten can also be used to make vermicelli, which is also a delicacy; Its young leaves can be used for cooking, and the sweet potato vines after harvest can be used to feed pigs. ”

"Come here, did you hear what the Metropolitan Governor said just now? Do you understand everything? If you don't figure it out, feel free to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and ask, do you understand? Shi Kefa heard this, and hurriedly called Deputy General Du over and explained again.

On the way back, Shi Kefa stared at Luo Jian and said, "Alas, Xinghua, I won't tell you, you are here, I think the sage books of the past few decades have been read in vain." ”

"Brother Xian, what are you talking about? There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Luo Jian said with a smile.

When passing by the station of the first division, Shi Kefa asked Tao Guozuo, the commander of the fourth regiment who stayed behind, to call over, and told him that he must repair the toilet and must not lose this organic fertilizer, as a result, the 3,500 captives were forcibly stopped by Shi Kefa and went to repair the toilets of the fifth division.

As soon as the two of them returned to Luo Jian's Mansion, Steward Luo came over and said that the second master was back.

Luo Jian walked into the hall, Liu Weimin was holding a big bowl of noodles and eating vigorously, Luo Jian called him, Liu Weimin raised his head, but Luo Jian was startled.

Liu Weimin's hair is already unkempt and long, and his chin is also stubble.

Pulling him to the door, he saw that his complexion was not bad, and he had not lost weight, and it seemed that except for his hair and beard, the others were well taken care of, so he was relieved.

"I said Xiao Liu, why are you so busy that you don't even have time to fix your hair and beard?" Luo Jian waited for him to finish destroying the noodles with three strikes and five divisions by two, and then asked him.

"Alas, chief, there are so many things going on, you can't do it if you don't hurry up."

"Come, how's the work going? Tell me more about it. ”

Luo Jian saw that Shi Kefa was about to take out his mobile phone to read a book again, and hurriedly said to him: "Brother Xian, this Xiao Liu's matter is as important as the big military training, don't you want to hear it?" ”

When Shi Kefa heard this, he hurriedly put the mobile phone into his arms carefully, and said, "It's so important, of course you have to listen." ”

"Chief, there are many things, I'll say the same."

"I'm not allowed to go back tonight, stay in the house and rest for the night, don't rush this time." Luo Jian was afraid that he would be tired, so he asked him to rest for a night.

"Okay, chief, I'll listen to you, it's really uncomfortable for this hair to grow, and it's hot again, so you have to deal with it."

"Chief, this glass factory is already capable of producing glassware, I brought two boxes back, you can see how the quality is?"

After Liu Weimin finished speaking, he asked the guards who followed him to bring in two boxes from outside the door, and opened the boxes, which were stuffed with straw, obviously afraid of touching them.

Liu Weimin carefully took out a set of wine glasses from the box and put them on the table one by one, which made Shi Kefa stunned.

Shi Kefa carefully picked up a wine glass from the table, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "Xiao Liu, is this made by your glass factory?" ”

"Brother Xian, how much do you think this set of wine glasses is worth?" Luo Jian asked with a smile.

"I'm not an expert in this, so it's better to ask your butler, and I'm sure I'll be able to sell it for a big price." Shi Kefa said.

Butler Luo came in from the outside, asked him to look at the wine glass on the table, and suddenly looked stupid again.

"Steward Luo, do you estimate how much this set of wine glasses can be worth?"

Butler Luo, who had not yet come back to his senses, subconsciously stretched out a hand.

"You said it was worth five taels of silver?" Luo Jian is a little strange, is it worth this?

"Huh? Five taels of silver? The small one is at least worth five hundred taels. Steward Luo reacted at this time.

The sky-high price of five hundred taels stunned Shi Kefa again.

"Xiao Liu, how do you and Shopkeeper Sun set the price?"

"We set the first batch of 500 sets at 500 taels, and the price of each batch will be reduced by 50 taels in the future, and finally it will end at 50 taels."

"Brother Xian, how about you take this set back and play with it?"

"Xinghua, are you kidding? I can't afford to play with this thing, so let's sell it for money, the cost of this army is too great, and there will be a lot of silver in the future. ”

"Brother Xian, in addition to the cost of factory and labor, I estimate that the cost of this thing will not cost five cents of silver, right? Why do you care so much, after mass production in the future, the cost and price will naturally come down, and in a few years, I guarantee that ordinary families can afford it. ”

"Then we have to wait until later, and take care of the things in front of us first." Shi Kefa firmly said that he didn't need it, and neither could Luo Jian.

Steward Luo's eyes were hot, and he thought to himself that the superintendent didn't want it, why not stay in the house, and if there were guests in the future, he would take out this set of wine utensils, which would be really face-saving.

Luo Jian said: "Okay, then listen to Brother Xian, and when there is more production in the future, let's use it to smash and play." ”

Hearing Shi Kefa's fierce glaring at Luo Jian with his eyes, everyone laughed.

Liu Weimin opened another box, but it was full of glass tubes and some strange-shaped utensils.

Shi Kefa looked at it and asked strangely: "These things look good, but they are useless?" ”

"Hehe, these things are much more useful than wine glasses, this is for Liu Lan, right?" Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Chief, that is, I think she will definitely be able to use these things in class, so I asked the workers to make these out of scraps, and some of them haven't had time to do yet."

Looking at Shi Kefa's puzzled eyes, Luo Jian said with a smile: "There is a discipline in this natural science called chemistry, which is the study of the mutual conversion between substances, and these transparent utensils are indispensable for experiments." ”

Shi Kefa read the book "The Development of Natural Science" and naturally saw chemistry, but that book is about the development of natural science, but there is not much specific content involved in the discipline, even if there are some examples, it is too difficult for Shi Kefa to understand them all.

"Chief, there are still some difficulties in the production of this mirror, although some of them have been made, but the quality is not passable, I let them find the reason, and strive to solve the technical problems as soon as possible."

"Well, don't worry, you must control the quality, and the quality of the products must not leave the factory, this initial reputation is extremely important. By the way, Xiao Liu, how did you get this technical secret? ”
