"Brother Liu, I haven't seen you this month, but now... What a change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "On the ten-day holiday, Xu Yuanze saw Liu Buyun after a long absence, but his current appearance made him a little afraid to recognize him, his hair was messy, his complexion was much darker than before, and what made him frown the most was that Liu Buyun's body constantly emitted some disgusting smells, which could not be covered up even if he took a bath with fragrant beans.

"Brother Xu doesn't know what kind of life he has been living in Si Nongqing, if he had known that this was the case, he would rather drop one or two grades in Xia, and go to the household department or the Taiwei Mansion." Liu Buyun said with a wry smile, "But it's too late to say anything now, so I can only continue to stay up." ”

"What does Brother Liu do in Si Nongqing? How did you get this look? If you don't feel comfortable, why don't you take a walk and change positions? Or do you resign from illness and return to your hometown, and wait a few days to report to the ministry to find opportunities? "In the past, these were the usual methods used by the Jinshi of the Great Wei, and they usually achieved good results.

"Why haven't I thought about it? But now it is very different from before, and it will take at least a year to be allowed to change positions, and if you want to report illness, you must go to the doctors of the hospital to issue a sick leave certificate, and they must confirm that you are indeed seriously ill and unable to work before you can go home to recuperate, if not, you will be directly dismissed. It seems that Liu Buyun has not thought about these methods, but they just don't work, "As for returning to your hometown directly, the officials will record your name in the register and never hire you, and you always want to re-participate in the imperial examination, and you can only wait until ten years later." ”

Ten years is enough for him to step into the center from a master of Sinong Temple on the sixth grade, so even if he has all kinds of grievances in his heart, Liu Buyun is still reluctant to resign and return to his hometown, and besides, this time he was able to go to high school because the imperial court opened an arithmetic exam, and whether the arithmetic exam will be set up after ten years and whether it can be reused like it is now are two different things.

"This is really ......" Xu Yuanze couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, although his work in the General Administration Department was very different from what he thought before, but fortunately, he was still responsible for writing articles in the hall, so he was not as troubled as Liu Buyun, and his life was still passable, seeing his friend like this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "What does Brother Liu do in Sinong Temple?" ”

Liu Buyun shook his head slowly when he heard this, "I never thought that I would work in the yamen of the imperial court with some Taoist priests and old farmers. After that, he slowly talked about his days in Sinong Temple.

Liu Buyun was still quite happy when he received the appointment, although Sinong Temple is not as good as Hubu and Taiwei Mansion, but it is also one of the nine Qings of the Great Wei, and it is in the center of the imperial court, and the future development prospects are still good; But who would have thought that on the first day he arrived at the Yamen of Sinong Temple, he would be driven to the farm outside Jiazhou City.

Confused, he took the appointment document and followed the officials of Sinong Temple to the outside of Zhuangzi in a carriage, only to see that Zhuangzi was surrounded by land that had been reclaimed, divided into squares of equal size, and many farmers were busy on the land under the command of several old farmers and scholars, and there were several Taoist priests next to him.

"Master Yuyinzi, this is the new master Bo Liu, the arithmetic master you want has finally arrived." When he was a little inexplicable, he saw the little official dismount and come to a Taoist priest to salute respectfully, and then introduced them, "Master Liu, this is Lord Cheng Yuyinzi of the Agricultural Technology Department of Sinong Temple." ”

"Down... Xiaguan has seen Lord Yuyinzi. "Liu Buyun is even more confused now, Sinong Temple is not a monk and a Taoist, how can there be a Taoist? And what department is the Agricultural Technology Agency? In the past, Sinong Temple didn't have this yamen?

Perhaps seeing his doubts, Yuyinzi spoke, "Although this official is a Taoist priest, he is also an official official of the imperial court who obtained this position after the scientific examination, and it can be regarded as the same year as Liu Xiandi, but the official was brought here after the examination, so he did not participate in the previous unified training. After that, he took Liu Buyun's arm and led him to the cultivated land, "As for the Agricultural Technology Department, it is also a newly established yamen of Lord Taiwei. ”

Pointing to the neat patches of land, Yuyinzi explained, "According to Lord Taiwei, the mission of the Agricultural Technology Agency is to study how to increase food production so that the people can avoid hunger. As he spoke, he pointed to the old farmers and scholars next to him, "This is the farmer who is the best at farming in Jiazhou, and he has a position in the Agricultural Technology Department, and he is my colleague; As for those who are the Jinshi of today's science and agriculture discipline, they were sent here without taking care of participating in this training, they are all talented people who have read agricultural books, and in addition, there are several disciples of Master Gu of the Ministry of Industry who are responsible for building various agricultural tools, but their work place is not here, and they can only meet a few times when they occasionally come to send new agricultural tools. ”

The scholars of the agricultural discipline guided the cultivation according to the agricultural books they had read, and these old farmers used their own experience to teach those farmers how to breed, weed, and control insects correctly, and Gu Shilang's disciples built farm tools for them, these sounds very reasonable, but why should Taoist priests be involved? And you called me, a man who didn't know anything about farming?

"Brother Liu Xian, I'm afraid I really wonder why this official is involved, right?" Yuyinzi saw his thoughts again, "This official often alchemy in the mountains before taking the exam, and it is also a slight name, the last time Lord Taiwei went hunting in the mountains and stayed overnight in the Taoist temple of the poor road, and accidentally saw the alchemy process of the poor road; Lord Taiwei is a scholar of heaven and man, and he is also quite involved in alchemy, and after a few conversations, he was greatly heartbroken, because he packed up his things and went down the mountain to participate in this scientific expedition, and was assigned here to refine the pill that can increase grain production, oh, according to Lord Taiwei, this kind of pill should be called chemical fertilizer. ”

In the eyes of others, this Yuyinzi may be a Dan Dao master, but in Li You's opinion, he is a primitive chemistry enthusiast, rather than letting him refine those messy things in the deep mountains and eat them to death, it is better to pull him down the mountain to do some serious things, so he tricked him into coming here to be responsible for researching primitive fertilizers.

The earliest chemical fertilizer of human beings is superphosphate, which supplies plants with phosphorus, calcium, sulfur and other elements, and has the effect of improving alkaline soil. It can be used as basal fertilizer, root top dressing, foliar spraying, which can promote the germination, root growth, branching, fruiting and maturity of plants, which can be said to be very useful; And the production process is not relatively simple, it can be obtained by treating phosphate rock powder with sulfuric acid, and Yuyinzi has already refined sulfuric acid in the process of alchemy, which he calls alum oil.

"An elixir that can increase grain production?" Liu Buyun was messy in the wind, and he still didn't understand the reason why he came here. (To be continued.) )
