Alicia Mikhail Blue's Cultivation Manual (1):

Little Tom had dropped some precious wheat seeds into the river a few days before—for which Lady Elina ordered Little Tom to go down to the river to get the seeds out, and then beat him in the ass.

Thankfully, Tom didn't get any more punished – the seeds were still growing.

But I think I found something interesting.

The soaked wheat seeds developed significantly faster than the normally sown seeds, which is contrary to our common belief that the river would drown the seeds.

I decided to verify this.

I used a batch of seeds of similar quality for my experiment. One batch is soaked in river water, while the other is not. Two batches of seeds were then planted in the same plot. The results are evident that soaked seeds germinate faster and germinate more than non-soaked seeds.

I spent three months searching for all kinds of wheat seeds I could find and experimenting with them, and finally found that soaked seeds must have a higher germination rate and faster germination rate than seeds that were sown directly without soaking.

This is really exciting news. I showed the results of my experiment to my father and sister, who took it very seriously.

Vera wanted to speak to the Emperor about this, which would help increase the Empire's food production. Believing that it was too much of a hurry, he decided to support Clara's proposal to first test it on a small scale in the Crampons.

Zoya was on vacation, and she was interested in my experiments - she decided to use the magical spells she had learned to help me verify and conduct my experiments - Zoya had always been very reliable.

We practiced soaking the seeds in Crampons for a while, but the end result wasn't very exciting. Some seeds grow well, while others do not germinate at all and do not germinate in large areas. Later, when we dug up the soil to see what was going on with the seeds, we found that some of them were rotten.

This situation puzzled me and Zhuoya, and the shocking situation was that the yield of this experimental land was not as good as that of normal sowing.

Zhuoya and I had a hunch that soaking the seeds would make the seeds germinate faster and better. However, this bad situation must have gone wrong in the middle.

We reported the incident and our thoughts to my father, who expressed his support and called the farmer and the farmer who was in charge of the Crampons for questioning.

My father first asked the farmers to report on which small plot of land they were responsible for. Eventually, this group of peasants was divided according to the amount of grain produced. It is a shame that the peasant women in those few plots of land that have no harvest are all members of the "she-wolf".

The peasant women's nervous legs trembled, and I thought my father was going to punish them—at least they couldn't run away with a whip.

But the father forgave them for their sins—just a few slaps on their palms.

We questioned the farmers in detail about the planting and soaking process, and we finally found that all the seeds that did not harvest or did not get better were seeds that had been soaked for more than 6 hours and the seed skin was damaged.

Zhuoya and I brought two bags of seeds to soak, one bag to soak for 4 hours, and carefully cleaned the seed coat; A bag soaked for 8 hours, savagely cleaned, Zoya made it clear that the seeds that had been soaked for 8 hours were losing the power of nature - they were rapidly weakening, while the seeds that had been soaked for 4 hours were in good spirits.

So I started a new round of planting experiments, but I ordered the farmers in charge of planting not to soak the seeds for more than the lunch time, and to wash them carefully, and not to stir them indiscriminately.

However, it will be a while before the results come out again, but I am looking forward to it.

"My lord, you don't plan to see me even if my wife dies one day?" Funa said with a pout.

"Where, Funa, you think too much, I don't mean that, others don't understand, you don't understand! And, now there's no one here, you can call me Sandos. ”

"Well, Santos, I know. But it's because I know that it's so annoying. Funa grumbled.

"Funa, oh, I'm sorry. But I have to do it, otherwise those little hairy kids aren't going to turn the sky upside down? ”

"God, Santos, I beg you to stop talking, okay? You've been doing this since you were younger, and I've always wondered how you managed to add fuel to the fire when others were annoyed. Funa rolled her eyes.

Sandos let out an embarrassed "uh", he opened his mouth to say something, but considering Funa's previous words, he swallowed the unspoken sentences back into his stomach.

"Santos, there's not a lot of time, let's get down to business." Funa decided to give the old man a step down, although the old man had been giving him a step since he was a young man, but as she got older, Funa got used to it. Sometimes Funa and Santos could see in each other's eyes what they were like forty or fifty years ago. But those hallucinations only lasted for a moment, and then they drifted away with their thoughts, not knowing where they went.

The old man was accustomed to descending the steps of Funa, and the two of them did not talk about unpleasant topics anymore.

"Sandos, I can probably guess the opinions of Usain Bolt, Violeta and Bappd. Bolt is very self-conscious, he doesn't come up with ideas about this kind of military action, so what he does is at most what you tell him to do, right? ”

"That's right, Funa, to be honest, there are three reasons why I don't see you, the first is that you and the wolf are a little close, the second is that the wild boys have been jumping a little bit recently, and the third is that I am actually undecided about the attitude towards the wolf. Sorry, to be honest, I'd like to make my own decisions this time, but I'm getting old after all—and I can't do it enough. Sandos explained his actions completely and carefully to Funa.

Funa quipped: "The culture of the Qin'a Empire is indeed fascinating and profound, these two sentences were learned from Violeta, right?" I heard that she, like Donavan Kid, is very obsessed with the Qin'a Empire. Nicholas Tesla's influence on these two little guys is still very far-reaching. ”

"Of course! Of course! Funa, it was indeed Violetta who taught me. Remember how my father died? Funa. ”

"Humph! Santos, let's not talk about this dangerous subject—unless you also want to be like your father—stupid death. ”

Sandos Griffinhardt took a deep breath, then spat out heavily, "Yes, my stupid father, hate me—though you can't hate me now." I don't want to be like that idiot who didn't die early enough, and that's why I'm so focused on wizard power. ”

"So you gave Violetta a lot of power to that little girl?" Funa asked rhetorically.

"I know what you're trying to say, Funa. But what I really think is not what you think. Sandos motioned for Funa to be uneasy.

"Oh, tell me about it!"

"I'm interested in the inheritance of knowledge, Funa. Knowledge! ”

"I can understand what you say, Santos. So it was actually your idea to build a library? ”

"No, this is really Luke's idea, that kid is not under me." Sandos hurriedly denied it.

Funa smiled and said nonchalantly, "So you're just pushing him from behind, right?" ”
