346. Zhu Di: Scientific planting?
In the spring of the seventh year of Yongle, there was a snowfall in the north of the Ming Empire, which was frozen for thousands of miles, and the snow drifted for thousands of miles.
In the palace, Zhu Di started to beat his two sons because the father saw that the son was not cold and took out seven wolves? Or is it because the father-son battle escalated, and the emperor couldn't move his mouth? Cheng Yuan was taken aback, he had seen Zhu Di beat people, and the ruthlessness of his attack was outrageous.
King Zhao and King Han were confused, but they didn't argue with Zhu Di on weekdays, and in history, Zhu Rongsui and Zhu Gaoxu only blatantly began to disobey after the death of Empress Xu.
Zhu Di raised two disobedient sons, one spied on the prince's throne, and the other took advantage of Zhu Di's illness to ask for Zhu Di's life.
But that's not the time yet.
Cheng Yuan said: "What did Your Majesty say in the early dynasty. β
"Looking for life in Beijing, there is a division of edicts, and all government affairs are enlightened by the queen."
"Speak human words, and you won't be able to speak human words after you get married."
"Your Majesty asked King Zhao to go to Zhangde to become a vassal, but King Zhao was unwilling, so His Majesty ordered King Zhao to temporarily live in Beiping to guard, but he still didn't want to."
In theory, Zhu Di treated Zhu Gaosui very well, but it was Zhu Gaosui who wanted Zhu Di's life the most.
Cheng Yuan saw the two women in his family chatting and gossiping there, so he said to Yang Xianzhi: "I'm not a woman, I don't like to listen to rumors, don't talk to me next time." β
Yang Xianzhi suddenly looked at the master for lifting his pants and not recognizing people, who heard it with relish just now.
Cheng Yuan changed his clothes and picked up a pen to write a new content of Cheng's learning.
In February this year, Shangguan Yun was going to prepare for the county exam, and it was a shame to mention this matter, this student actually failed the county exam several times.
For this student, Cheng Yuan only asked him to pass the county exam, prepare for the government exam in April, be eligible to take the college exam in August, and get the show.
Cheng Yuan was relieved that Song Jing, who had a talent in his body, took the big exam three years later.
It is the spring drought, the rain in the south of the Yangtze River comes at the right time, welcomed by the people, from the early morning to the present, the rain is dripping to wash the eaves of the south of the Yangtze River, as if the day will be changed again, the eyes of the people of spring ploughing seem to be much brighter.
At least at this moment, Cheng Yuan's eyes were bright.
As an advocate of a thousand acres of land outside the city, he was not high up at this time, and Shi began to feed the cattle under the trees with forage.
For the farmers who planted peppers next to him, Cheng Yuan advised: "It is very precious, and it should not be wasted." β
The farmer smiled gently, in his eyes, the town should be high, and the officials are like this.
But this Zhenguo Gong is different from others, he speaks kindly and kindly, and this year's three acres of land of his family are also planned into this experimental field, but he is not worried, this field is still his own, but the agricultural students of Zhenguo Academy guide how to make fertilizer and how to harvest.
..................
It was noon, and the carriage was galloping in the hazy smoke and rain, and there were a few horsemen dressed as warriors behind.
The carriage stopped at Zhenguo Academy, and a burly middle-aged man came down from it, and this person was Zhu Di.
Cheng Yuan, wearing a straw hat and a robe, carefully recorded the rice seedlings in the experimental field, and did not pay attention to the official road.
Even if it was raining lightly, Cheng Yuan's forehead was sweaty.
Because the people grow grain is the first priority, and if they don't have enough to eat, it is a famine.
In order to mobilize the people, the farmland outside Yingtian City was registered by Chengyuan Planning.
In ancient times, grain production was low, so farming was not just a matter of talking.
"This long is last year's large ears of grain, planted separately, while it rains, be fast, otherwise when the spring rain is over, you won't be able to eat much water."
Cheng Yuan looked at last year's ploughing time and fertilizer making.
Zhu Di, who got out of the car, heard Cheng Yuan's words, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was impressed by Cheng Yuan, but he didn't expect him to go to the field in person and have rich experience.
"I thought you didn't know anything about farming, and you were all nonsense on weekdays, but I never thought that you still knew how to moisten seedlings in the spring rain."
"You're just talking nonsense, my father-in-law has learned from the farmers."
Cheng Yuan raised his head and said, "Big brother, which village are you, Your Majestyβwhy are you here?" β
Zhu Di was followed by Huang Huai, Xie Jin, Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, and Qiu Fu, who he didn't want to see the most.
"Daddy came to see you." Zhu Di squatted on the ridge of the field and said with a smile: "Back then, when my father and your mother were in Fengyang, I saw the people farming. β
You're addicted to being a father...... Cheng Yuan instructed the farmers and his subordinates to mix the grass, as well as last year's pond mud, cow dung and sheep dung together.
Daming has no chemical fertilizer, the Academy of Sciences at this time does not know how to study, this grass manure soil manure is the best, sowing in the ground, to increase fertility.
Huang Huai said: "Why did the grass turn into the soil? β
"When it is plowable, there is rain and ploughing, the soil is close to each other, and the seedlings are lonely, and the grass is filthy and rotten, and they all become fertile fields. In addition, it can also burn soil to make manure to promote the growth of seedlings. β
Subsequently, Cheng Yuan took out the seedlings cultivated in the greenhouse in winter and planted them for farmers.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Yuan leaned on the ridge of the field and looked at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di found a stone slab and stood still, and said, "Come and see your injuries, if it weren't for Gao Sui...... Anyway, I owe you a lot. β
Cheng Yuan was about to speak, but when he saw that the farmers were planting the seedlings very densely, he immediately stopped talking to Zhu Di and ran to pull out the seedlings.
Zhu Di saw that this guy was pulling out the seedlings, so he stood on the edge of the field to stop him: "Chengyuan, what are you doing, wouldn't it be a waste to pull out the seedlings, summer is not a lack of grain." β
"It's called a seedling." Cheng Yuan put the pulled out seedlings next to him: "If the seedlings are dense and there is no wind, the yield will be very low. β
"Nonsense, I ...... I haven't heard of it in Fengyang. It was the first time Zhu Di had heard such a ridiculous remark.
It is not easy for the people to farm a lot, how can they waste it.
I know you're doing a good job, but you can't destroy the seedlings.
"This method is really effective, this is a high-yield seedling, not too dense."
Cheng Yuan didn't want to discuss scientific planting with Zhu Di, after all, Zhu Di's agricultural knowledge reserve was not as much as his own, so he could only explain it now.
"Grandpa Guo was like this last year, the grain growth of our seedlings is very good, why do you want to interfere with this old uncle."
The young man next to him defended Cheng Yuan.
"That's right, uncle, it was like this last year, and it grew very well."
Everyone came over to persuade, but Song Jing stood not far away and did not move, he did not dare to reason with the Son of Heaven.
At first, the farmers patiently explained to Zhu Di.
But Huang Huai said: "For thousands of years, can the ancestors' farming experience be wrong? β
"Uncle, this is scientific planting, although the seedlings are sparse, but the rhizomes of the plants are thick, and the size and seeds are very good, this is scientific planting."
Huang Huai was unconvinced, is he that old?
Zhu Di: "Scientific planting? β
I am a dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I am not as good as a group of peasant children.
The people in the fields gossiped about "educating" Zhu Di.
Later, someone soaked the leaves of the neem tree, pounded them, prepared some and threw them into the water.
Seeing that there were still farmers educating Zhu Di, Cheng Yuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay in the field, but he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Zhu Di would be taught a lesson by the farmers.
When the time comes, it will be you who will be miserable.
"Zhen Guogong."
Come over a swarthy man and say,
"Saihachi?"
Cheng Yuan recognized him, Saihazhi, Hui, from Persia, succeeded as the commander after the fall of Ji Gang, and there were no bad deeds during his tenure, and he enjoyed his old age in peace.
It seems that Ji Gang was arrested yesterday, and now Sai Hazhi is the commander.
Zhu Di said: "Let's go, go and get down to business." β
"What's the matter, I haven't finished planting here, and the eldest husband must have a beginning and an end." Cheng Yuan said.
"Huang Huai, Xie Jin, you two help plant the remaining seedlings."
Huang Huai and Xie Jin were stunned, how could they go down to the mud ground, hesitated for a long time, and went down to the middle of the field to sprout.
Cheng Yuan threw the straw hat and seedling basket to the two and said, "There are two Laos." β
"Zhen Guogong doesn't pay attention to ......righteousness," Xie Jin said.
Xie Jin, Xie Jin, you should thank me, if it weren't for Ji Gang's downfall, I'm afraid you would have been frozen to death by Ji Gang in the end, Cheng Yuan thought so and left.
