Jing Yi pulled Wang Dalin aside and said, "Uncle Wang, I am studying medicine, this honor is of little use to me, but it is of great benefit to your family." ”

Of course, Wang Dalin knew this, what a great honor it was for a carpenter to be rewarded by the imperial court, "It's just Gongzi Chu, this should have belonged to you." ”

Jing Yi said: "Uncle Wang, there is a lot of credit for you here, so don't shirk it." It's also good for your children and grandchildren. ”

Wang Dalin was moved when he saw that this Chu Gongzi was bent on giving him this credit, "Then I will thank Chu Gongzi on behalf of the whole family." In the future, when Gongzi Chu is useful to my Wang family, just open your mouth. ”

Jing Yijian persuaded Wang Dalin to turn around and say to Lin Xiuhan: "Lord Lin, if you want to report to the imperial court, report to Uncle Wang." ”

Lin Xiuhan also heard the conversation between the young man and Wang Dalin just now, he admired the determination of the young man in front of him at this time, it was really amazing that he could refuse such a big honor at such a young age. For this heart, he felt that this son would be extraordinary in the future.

He nodded, "Okay, just as you say." ”

Since Lin Xiuhan is here, he is ready to make a good inspection. Accompanied by Jing Yi and Wang Xuhuai, he also looked at the canal dug by the villagers.

Lin Xiuhan felt eye-opening when he heard Jing Yi's idea of washing the field with water, "Young Master Chu, are you saying that this field contains a lot of salt, so crops don't grow in the field?" ”

Jing Yi nodded, "The salinity in this field has exceeded the normal level, making it impossible for the crops to survive. After soaking in river water, the salt in the field can be dissolved in the water. Just like when we put salt in water, the salt dissolves in the water.

When the time comes, the salt will be taken away along with the water, and the salinity in the field will be reduced. There are also salts that seep deeper into the ground as the water goes underwater, which reduces the impact on plant growth. After washing a few times like this, the field can almost grow some saline-tolerant crops.

When the time comes, fertilizer is applied to the field to improve the fertility of the field, loosen the soil, and increase the yield of crops.

I studied medicine in elementary school, and I was very interested in plants, and I also had some research on some plants, and I knew that some crops are not only tolerant to salinity, but also can absorb the salinity components in the field. ”

Lin Xiuhan was even more interested when he heard this, "Oh, there really is such a crop?" ”

Jing Yi nodded and said: "I know some saline-alkali tolerant crops, such as cotton, which belongs to the straight root system, the root system is developed, and the root depth can reach a very deep place underground, which can absorb as much water and nutrients as possible in the deep soil, and is a drought-resistant, salt-alkali tolerant, barren and high-stress resistant crop."

For example, sunflowers not only have strong salt and alkali tolerance, but also have salt absorption properties, which can improve the land. There are also crops like wolfberry and sand date that are tolerant to salinity. There may be other crops that can be grown, but they haven't been discovered yet. I'm going to look into it.

In fact, there are many kinds of saline-alkali land, and the salt content they contain is also different. Some saline-alkali lands can be treated to grow cotton, which can achieve good yields, but in some saline-alkali lands, cotton is almost lost. Therefore, the planting of salinity-tolerant crops should also be adapted to local conditions. ”

Lin Xiuhan didn't expect that there was such a big knowledge in this kind of field, and he also admired the young man in front of him who knew so much at a young age.

Lin Xiuhan asked, "I wonder what Gongzi Chu is going to plant on this land next year?" ”

Jing Yi replied: "I plan to plant most of the cotton, but also some sunflowers and wolfberries. Nowadays, the price of cotton in the market remains high, also because farmers plant less and are relatively rare. Sunflowers are edible and can be squeezed for oil. Goji berries are also a kind of medicinal material, and the income should be good at that time. I will also try to grow some rice, maybe I can breed saline-tolerant rice. ”

Lin Xiuhan nodded when he heard this, "It seems that Young Master Chu is confident. I hope that the crops planted by Chu Gongzi will be bumper next year, and let me wait to learn. ”

Lin Xiuhan felt that he had gained a lot today, and returned to the county seat happily. It was fun to talk to the boy, and he could learn a lot, so he decided to come to Yunxi Village often in the future.

Moreover, this young man is upright and modest, and he is a good man. Maybe they can be friends.

He only brought a servant to this Hui'an County, and he had no relatives or friends around him. Usually the official business is not very busy, except for reading books and there is almost no other entertainment. Sometimes he also feels lonely, and he also wants to make a friend or two, and he also has someone to talk to.

He admires Chu Jingyan very much, and it may be good to be a confidant and friend with him.

Xiao Yitai came to Jingwangfu and was always looking for an opportunity to meet Liu Mingyue. Liu Mingyue is the nail he buried in Jingwangfu, and the news about Jingwangfu is usually passed on to him by Liu Mingyue.

This time, he wanted to inquire about the movements of the Jingwang Mansion in detail, and also to appease Liu Mingyue, let her stay in the Jingwang Mansion with peace of mind, and monitor everything in the Jingwang Mansion for him.

Liu Mingyue knew that King Xuan was coming, and she was anxious to see King Xuan.

On this day, Liu Mingyue received a message from King Xuan and asked her to go to Fenglan Courtyard to see King Xuan after the third watch at night.

In the middle of the night, Liu Mingyue evaded the patrol and came to Fenglan Courtyard. Xiao Yitai's people have been keeping the door open for her.

Liu Mingyue, who finally saw his master, was very excited, and said after saluting: "Lord, the concubine has been looking forward to seeing you again, and now she finally got her wish." ”

Xiao Yitai looked at Liu Mingyue, who was wearing a black night suit in front of him, and said, "What's wrong with the Jingwang Mansion recently?" ”

Liu Mingyue shook her head, "King Jing has been sick these days, and his health is getting worse and worse. I went to another hospital to recuperate, but after coming back in the past few days, I got a cold and was bedridden. ”

Xiao Yitai frowned when he heard this and asked, "You mean he went to another hospital to recuperate before?" Can you guarantee that he must have been in the other house? ”

Liu Mingyue nodded and said, "I can guarantee this." ”

Xiao Yitai nodded and asked, "Can King Jing enter your body?" Do you have a roundhouse? ”

Liu Mingyue shook her head, "Since I entered King Jing's Mansion, King Jing has been sick. King Jing's body is not good at all, let alone me, and none of the other ladies in the backyard have entered King Jing's body. Even the meetings are rare. ”

Xiao Yitai nodded with satisfaction, "You have a good eye on King Jing here, and send me a message as soon as there is anything abnormal." One day I will be a great treasure, you are a great hero, I will definitely take you into the palace. ”

Liu Mingyue was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, "Thank you for your love, the concubine will definitely do her best." ”

Xiao Yitai gave Liu Mingyue a porcelain vase, "You want to find a way to get close to King Jing and put this into the tea he drinks or eats the meal." As long as Prince Jing is dead, I will immediately have someone take you away. ”
