Ying Xiaozheng's face was praised and flushed: "Okay." ”

……

Potato planting is not about throwing potatoes away when you want to plant them, you have to let them sprout first and then cut them into pieces.

If it is a second harvest of potato breeding, it is time to start detoxification.

The potatoes that have just been taken out of the system, the system must not be so pitiful, they must be the first generation of good breeds, and there is no need to detoxify.

In the long breeding, several people finally knew why Zhu Xiang was afraid that King Zhao would promote it indiscriminately.

There are really so many things to look out for when growing a new crop.

There is no laboratory, Zhu Xiang adopts the most primitive breeding method - digging a pit in the ground, putting a layer of cow dung, horse dung and pig manure in the pit, sprinkling a layer of soil on the manure, putting potatoes on the soil, putting manure and soil on top of the potatoes, covering them with straw felt, and finally burying the straw felt with soil.

Around the 10th, Zhu Xiang dug out the potatoes, and the buds grew. The remaining manure is used as a fertile field.

After the potatoes sprouted, Zhu Xiang prepared a pot of boiling water on the stove and a pot of cold boiled water. Holding a knife in his hand, he cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces, and with each cut, he put the knife in boiling water to sterilize it, and then put it in cold boiled water to cool.

After the diced potatoes were planted, Zhu Xiang led the potato planting team to patrol the fields every day, and as soon as they found sick potato seedlings, they were immediately uprooted and thrown into the fire to burn.

"There is no cure for potatoes now, so when you see a sick potato seedling, you have to remove it immediately to avoid infecting other potato seedlings." Zhu Xiang taught.

Ying Xiaozheng was so tired that he sat on the ground: "Okay, so tired." ”

Zhu Xiang picked up Ying Xiaozheng and slipped it up: "Farming is so tiring. It's not easy for farmers to grow food, but it's hard not to even go hungry. ”

Ying Xiaozheng whispered: "Less, less tax? ”

Zhu Xiang smiled: "That's right. However, it may be more realistic to increase the probability that the peasants will be fed by increasing grain production by expecting a wise king to be sympathetic to the peasants. Raising the yield of one stone per mu to two stones per mu is also a heavy tax of fifty percent, so that the peasants can have enough to eat, and the state treasury has also increased its income. ”

Ying Xiaozheng nodded, and Xun couldn't help it: "It is very important to increase production, and the king must also be lightly paid!" ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head and said, "Of course, it's good to be lightly paid, but who can control what the king thinks?" Even if he is a wise king, he needs to control the water when the river bursts, the invasion of foreign enemies requires war, and the road needs to be built to increase the connection between each city...... These are expensive but necessary things to do. ”

Xun Jing's tone was a bit yin and yang: "So, with you, the king can rejoice in his achievements without hurting the people?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly; "How is it possible, just starve to death a few less."

Looking at Zhu Xiang's wry smile, Xun couldn't scold anymore.

He wanted to scold King Zhao now.

Could it be that this stupid King Zhao made Zhu Xiang disappointed in the kings of the whole world?

Chapter 15 Braised pig offal

Zhu Xiang was not disappointed in the king of the whole world because of King Zhao.

He is a modern person, so even if he is a Ming monarch in history, it is impossible to meet his expectations.

Even his baby nephew Zheng'er, who is now spoiled, is the same.

Of course, if possible, Zhu Xiang still wants to follow a wise king with clear rewards and punishments. At least then he knows that as long as he follows the rules, he doesn't have to worry about his life.

Soon after Zhu Xiang began to grow potatoes, farmers continued to come to Zhu Xiang, willing to plant potatoes with Zhu Xiang, and even willing to use fertile land to plant.

Zhu Xiang hurriedly stopped them, talked about the disadvantages of potatoes in detail, and persuaded these people to go back.

Later, there were too many people who came to ask, so Zhu Xiang simply set up a platform, asked Xianghe to make a useless wooden horn, set up a blackboard, and shouted with paintings, explaining the benefits and disadvantages of potato planting to the farmers, so that everyone should not be in a hurry, wait for their own experiments first, and plant them next year.

After several days of unremitting efforts, he persuaded the peasants in Lin Xiangru's fiefdom to trust him too much.

In fact, Zhu Xiang was more anxious to promote the wheat seeds that were drawn out than to promote potatoes.

The two wheat seeds he drew were winter wheat. Although it is not obvious from the appearance that it is a seed, modern wheat varieties will focus on lodging resistance skills. Anyone who has planted the land knows that as the saying goes, "wheat pours a handful of grass", and many times the harvest is a matter of a gust of wind. As long as this function is played, these wheat varieties are much stronger than the current winter wheat.

Unfortunately, now that the farmers' fields are either fallow to restore fertility or have already been planted, Zhu Xiang will not be able to promote the new winter wheat this year.

If only there were more land. Zhu Xiang buried this wish in his heart, and only complained when he was taking a bath for Ying Xiaozheng.

Ying Xiaozheng, who has already been to the dream world again, feels that his brain is a lot smarter. In order to relieve his uncle's worries, he quietly found Lian Po, who came to the house to eat and take, and took off the jade jue around his neck.

Lian Po put down the roast chicken leg in his hand and wondered, "What are you giving me this?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng held Yu Jue high and said seriously: "Lin Weng said that General Lian has a lot of land. My uncle wants to plant new seeds, and there is no land. I want to buy land from General Lian. ”

Lian Po was puzzled: "Huh?! Lin Xiangru is so poor that he doesn't even have land?! ”

Ying Xiaozheng explained seriously: "Lin Weng has land, and it has been planted. General Lian has land for raising horses, which can be planted. ”

Lian Po was silent for a while, wiped his oily hand on the hem of his clothes, and lifted Ying Xiaozheng to his knees and sat down: "What you said was taught by your uncle?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng shook his head: "No." Uncle didn't know. ”

He stuffed Yu Jue into Lian Po's hand: "Here you go, change the land." ”

Lian Po smiled: "I don't want your Yujue." Your uncle wants the land, let him tell me by himself. Zhu Xiang is as timid as a mouse, and he should practice his courage. ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "...... Don't speak ill of your uncle! ”

Lian Po teased the little Qin State proton: "He is just as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't even dare to go to the battlefield." ”

Ying Xiaozheng put Yu Jue back on his neck, got up from Lian Po's knees, turned around and left.

Lian Po grabbed Ying Xiaozheng: "What, you still want to sue?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng turned around and glanced at Lian Po domineeringly, but did not speak.

He engraved this person who scolded his uncle on the bamboo slip in his heart. I hope that Lian Lao Pifu will live a little longer in this life and live until the day when he grows up and sweeps away the Six Kingdoms.

Lian Po looked at the childish little eyes, happily brought Ying Xiaozheng back, and pinched Ying Xiaozheng's thin little face very unceremoniously: "If you go to sue, what can he do to me?" He's just cowardly! ”

Ying Xiaozheng was so angry that his fists clenched.

"General Lian, it's okay if you bully me, if you bully Zheng'er, I'll really be angry." Zhu Xiang came out with a pot of braised pig offal, and saw that Lian Po was disrespecting the old again, and even bullied young children.

Lian Po sneered: "What if you're angry? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Closed doors. ”

Lian Po sneered: "If you close the door, I can't split the door!" ”

Zhu Xiang: "...... General Lian, you are the secretary of Zhao State, a wealthy family for generations, pay attention to your image. ”

"If he dares to hack your door, I will dare to hack his door." Lin Xiangru just came to Zhu Xiang's house to see potatoes, and saw Lian Po, an old man who hurt his eyes.

"What can you move with that little bit of strength? Ouch, how does this shaft bite! Lian Po was shocked and let go.

"Uncle!" Ying Xiaozheng rushed towards Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang, who had already put the basin on the table, immediately caught Ying Xiaozheng and hugged Ying Xiaozheng: "Come, let my uncle take a look at his teeth." Don't bite dirty, beware of toothaches. ”

"Hmph, and Lin are like a virtue, only the mouth is sharp." Lian Po touched the tooth marks on his arm and said, "Do you know that your nephew bought a field from me with the jade jue you gave him?" ”

Zhu Xiang glanced down at Ying Xiaozheng, who was full of anger, and rubbed Ying Xiaozheng's head with a smile: "Zheng'er, I'm sorry, my uncle's complaint made you worried." ”

Ying Xiaozheng shook his head vigorously and said angrily: "If he doesn't sell it, he won't sell it, why is he insulting his uncle?" Uncle, don't let him in in the future! ”

Zhu Xiang said good things for Lian Po: "General Lian is just unforgiving, but he actually helped me a lot." The construction of ditches, waterwheels, and stone mills was all done for me by General Lian. ”

Ying Xiaozheng frowned: "Really? ”

Zhu Xiang nodded: "Otherwise, how could I get up early in the morning to make braised vegetables for him?" Uncle is not a man who repays grievances with virtue. ”

Ying Xiaozheng's brows furrowed even more. He couldn't understand this kind of behavior of insulting people with his mouth and helping people in private. Isn't that thankless?

Lin Xiangru couldn't help it, he scolded: "Can you change that mouth?!" It stinks so much to a child's mouth!! You still humiliate his elders in front of children, do you want Zheng'er to grow up and hold a sword to find you to avenge your insults! ”

Lian Popo said improperly: "How can you be insulted by telling the truth?" You see that Zhu Xiang himself doesn't mind. ”

Zhu Xiang slandered. I care about your mouth, I've long been by you.

"You don't have a lot of land, why don't you just tell me? I want your nephew to come and beg me. Lian Po asked.

Ying Xiaozheng said loudly: "I didn't ask you!" I'm just here to buy land! ”

Lian Po teased: "Your jade jue is of such inferior quality, how can you buy good land?" Isn't this just begging me? ”

Ying Xiaozheng's face was flushed with anger: "It's not inferior!" "How can the Lantian water clairoper worn by the children of my Great Qin royal family be inferior!

Lin Xiangru clenched his fists and pointed at the top of Lian Po's head, almost smashing Lian Po's bun apart: "Let you stop teasing Zheng'er!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't tease." Lian Po sighed, "It's really boring, I didn't cry." ”

Ying Xiaozheng: "......" He wants to cry now, and he wants to pounce on this old puppet again!

Zhu Xiang hugged Ying Xiaozheng and sat in front of Lian Po.

Lian Po: "What? Are you really going to drive me away for your nephew? ”

Zhu Xiang: "Zheng'er, kick him in the stomach!" ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately raised his leg and kicked Lian Po's general in the stomach.

Lian Po: "Ouch! ”

Zhu Xiang hugged Ying Xiaozheng and immediately retreated to Lin Xiangru's back to hide. Lin Xiangru stretched out his arms and glared at Lian Po like an old hen guarding a chick.

Lian Po rubbed his stomach and said, "Okay, okay, you protect it tightly, I don't care about him in general." ”

Lin Xiangru scolded: "You deliberately teased the young child and was gently kicked by the young child, what else do you care?!" ”

Gently? Lian Po felt that Lin Xiangru was getting older and more unreasonable.

"Okay, okay, I don't care." Lian Po continued to rub his stomach, his expression distorted, "Zhu Xiang, let me ask you, why didn't you just tell me?" ”

Zhu Xiang sighed and said, "General Lian doesn't have much land for raising horses. If I ask General Lian for land, what will happen to General Lian's horse? Experimental varieties are not in a hurry for this year or two. ”

"I said earlier that you are too easy to think too much, and I will deal with this little thing myself." Lian Po finally rubbed away the pain in his stomach and stopped grinning, "You just say how much land you need." ”

Zhu Xiang had long known that if he told Lian Po, he would only get this answer. If he refuses, this old general with a very stinky mouth doesn't know how to scold him.

He could only stubbornly report the number of two acres of land, thinking that one kind of wheat seed would be planted one acre, and after next year's harvest, he would be able to get specific information on two kinds of winter wheat seeds, and it would not be too late to promote it.

"Just two acres of land? Who do you look down on? Lian Po muttered, "Give you ten acres, you can plant well, I see what you can grow this time." ”

Zhu Xiang thanked Lian Po, and hugged Ying Xiaozheng, who was still glaring at Lian Po, to get dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.

After Zhu Xiang left, Lin Xiangru said: "You came to Zhu Xiang's house this time, just to stutter?" ”

Lian Po said: "Otherwise? ”
