After the two of them went to Xianyang, the obstacles of Qin Shi Huang's relocation to Xianyang were basically removed.

The families and properties of the widows Qing and the merchants surnamed Wu have not been recorded since, and it is clear that their properties were probably bought by the generous Qin Shi Huang.

Part of the mercury in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang was extracted from the Dan sand ore of the widow Qing family.

Zhu Xiang glanced down at Zheng'er, who was frowning and bitter.

Ying Xiaozheng said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, what do you see? ”

Zhu Xiang sighed with emotion: "I'm thinking, Zheng'er, you are really amazing." ”

Ying Xiaozheng pouted: "Even if you praise me, I won't forgive you." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Uncle is wrong, Zheng'er hurry up and forgive your uncle, otherwise your uncle will cry to you." ”

Ying Xiaozheng's expression froze, and he turned his back in disgust.

Ying Xiaozheng and Zhu Xiang had a conflict because Zhu Xiang was wrapped in leather when he went out, but the back of his hand was still red and swollen. According to Zhu Xiang's judgment, he may have encountered the pervasive schistosomiasis when he was helping with the work.

Zhu Xiang applied high-concentration garlic oil to the red and swollen areas that night, and had been drinking Artemisia annua soaked in water, and then prepared allicin to smear the affected area and drank it with difficulty.

The redness and swelling receded after a few days. Even if there may be schistosoma eggs left in Zhu Xiang's body, it should not cause disease.

In this day and age, it was too difficult to avoid contracting parasites, and he could only ensure that he could maintain his health as much as possible. The body's immune system will help him live a long life.

But Ying Xiaozheng was not comforted at all when he heard what Zhu Xiang said.

For the first time, Zhu Xiang saw his nephew, who claimed to be mature, sitting on the bed, kicking his legs and crying, so frightened that he was at a loss.

finally coaxed Ying Xiaozheng to stop crying, and Ying Xiaozheng began to have a cold war with Zhu Xiang. It wasn't until Zhu Xiang promised that he would not go to the epidemic area again in the future that Ying Xiaozheng forgave him.

But the epidemic area is equal to the grain production area, and Zhu Xiang has no way to guarantee Ying Xiaozheng.

Li Mu was speechless: "You can't deceive him?" Zheng'er knows that you can't help but go to the ground, he just wants peace of mind. ”

Zhu Xiang smiled bitterly: "I don't want to deceive Zheng'er. He was young, but he was very intelligent, and I fear that any deception will have a bad effect on him. ”

Li Mu didn't know what to say.

He shook his head, sighed, and relayed Zhu Xiang's words to Ying Xiaozheng.

Ying Xiaozheng was awkward and took the initiative to reconcile with Zhu Xiang, but asked Zhu Xiang to promise that he would try not to go into the water.

He had seen people with water Gu disease, even if Zhu Xiang told him that only patients in the advanced stage would become like this, most of them looked very healthy and coexisted with schistosomiasis. Ying Xiaozheng also vomited a lot, and was resolutely unwilling to coexist with schistosomiasis.

Li Mu held the yellow artemisia tea in his hand and couldn't help sighing.

He and Li Bing also had redness and swelling on their bodies, and after the swelling subsided, they didn't see Zheng'er anxious. Zheng'er's feelings for her uncle and teacher are still completely different.

Li Bing went to Ba County to borrow grain for disaster relief, Li Mu maintained the post-disaster order, Zhu Xiang borrowed troops from Li Mu, and led troops to help farmers harvest and replant everywhere.

The benefits of millet appear at this moment. Millet has strong lodging resistance, thick shell, and has survived floods, and the survival rate is quite high.

Even when their homes were washed away, even when their family members fell ill after the floods, the faces of farmers in the Chengdu Plain were smiling.

And the peasants in the hilly areas were miserable. Their fields have been largely washed away, and they have to dig out the still rotting grain in the mud, which they can dry in the hope of eating for a month or two.

Although Zhu Xiang brought some potatoes, it was almost impossible to replant them for the victims in the disaster-stricken areas of Shu County.

Fortunately, Li Bing's favorability quickly soared to Sanxin after the flood. The second-heart favorability was given to Zhu Xiang rice, and the third-heart favorability was given to Zhu Xiang's pumpkin. Pumpkin is also a food for famine relief, which can allow Zhu Xiang to temporarily make up for a certain food crisis.

Pumpkins are harvested half-yearly and can be planted twice a year, and autumn is the season for pumpkin planting. After the pumpkin is harvested in winter, farmers can survive the winter for a while.

However, it is very difficult for farmers to plant crops that they have never seen, fortunately, the Qin soldiers have many fields in the military camp, Li Mu is in charge, and potatoes are planted in the drier places in the mountains, and pumpkins are planted on the ground, and sherbens can be planted under the pumpkins.

Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The victims may only need to eat half a year's worth of moldy grain, grass leaves, grass roots, branches and bark.

Chapter 85: Celebration Maltose

The pumpkin seeds provided by the system to Zhu Xiang are directly the pumpkin seeds that have been processed. A serving of pumpkin seeds is the number of seeds in a whole pumpkin.

Zhu Xiang is both happy and regretful.

If you give him 10,000 large pumpkins, he will be able to use them for relief purposes. But he can find an excuse to suddenly take out pumpkin seeds, but he can't find an excuse to suddenly take out a large pumpkin.

took out the food out of thin air, and the old King Qin didn't know whether to worship him or kill him directly.

In fact, Zhu Xiang's excuse for taking out pumpkin seeds is also very lame.

Once or twice "brought by the merchants", it is just a matter of many times, such as wheat, rice, and other seeds that are already available can still be fooled, and other seeds that no one has ever seen are really not easy to fool.

But the smart people around him seemed to have suddenly become stupid at this time, and they believed whatever Zhu Xiang said.

Even Ying Xiaozheng pretended to be a real child at the moment, and said with wide eyes, "Uncle's eyes are so good, I really want to learn."

Ying Xiaozheng's tone and eyes were too sincere, making Zhu Xiang always feel that his fat nephew was mocking his lame excuse.

The people around him pretended to be stupid, and Zhu Xiang also pretended to be stupid, so he passed the test as if he was fooled.

The planting management of pumpkin can be very extensive, and as soon as Zhu Xiang teaches it, others can learn it by looking at it once.

Zhu Xiang first scalded the pumpkin seeds in water at about 50 degrees for nearly a quarter of an hour, and then soaked them in water at about 30 degrees for two to three hours to let the pumpkin seeds absorb enough water.

If it is planted normally, you can directly sow pumpkin seeds at this time. However, Zhu Xiang planted pumpkins for the first time, and for the sake of safety, he raised seedlings first and then transplanted them.

There is no need to fertilize the seedlings, or even to water too much, just spray a little water when the soil is dry, and after a month, the pumpkin seedlings can be transplanted.

"The next time you plant in early spring, you just need to apply enough fertilizer to the ground and sow the seeds directly." Zhu Xiang said, "Pumpkins are very easy to feed. ”

Zhu Xiang is a name waste, and he mostly uses the name of later generations. He closed his eyes and blindly called the "pumpkin" a melon from the Wuyue area, so it was called a pumpkin. Because it is golden when ripe, it is also called golden melon.

Anyway, no one else has ever seen a pumpkin, and he says what it is.

Pumpkin seedlings are also very easy. The field does not need to be ridged, and the field is directly divided into soil blocks about half a meter apart for flat furrow planting.

Because he wants to plant soybeans between them, Zhu Xiang separates the distance between the plants a little farther, and plants soybeans in the middle, which can also provide fertilizer for pumpkins.

The pumpkin only needs to be applied with humus green manure, and manure can be added later.

"Wait until the pumpkin vines grow to thirty centimeters...... A foot or so, you have to start tying up a shelf and tying up the vines. Zhu Xiang said, "Do you understand?" ”

Li Mu took a pen and paper to record what Zhu Xiang said, and said: "The early stage is very simple, you have to continue to teach to tie a frame and tie vines." ”

Zhu Xiang said: "I'll teach it when the time comes." ”

After Li Mu completed his studies, he "transferred" to become a general in Tuntian, and with some trepidation, he took the pumpkin seeds given by Zhu Xiang and went to the military tuntian to farm.

Some students of Xianyang School Palace followed Li Mu to provide agricultural guidance.

Before entering Shu with Zhu Xiang, they were also divided into various schools, with Confucianism being the most.

Now they all only call themselves students of Xianyang Academy, and privately call themselves Zhu Xiang's students, Zhu Xiang tells them to do whatever they want, and they seem to have forgotten their faction.

Whether it's lobbying the rich, enforcing laws, or directing agronomy, they do it all decently.

These disciples are not famous people in later generations, but Zhu Xiang found a few talents from them.

He was looking forward to receiving unexpected favorability gifts from these academy disciples in the future - those who could be on the favorability list were all systematically recognized as having an impact on history.

While Li Mu led the Qin soldiers to plant pumpkins, Zhu Xiang continued to instruct the farmers on how to remedy the fields after the disaster.

Through the efforts of the farmers, the excess water in the fields has been drained, the silt and rotting branches and weeds have been removed, and the farmers carefully wash and wipe the soil from each millet.

This is a delicate job, and if the movement is a little heavier, it may damage the millet plant.

The peasants squatted on both sides of the field, holding the water ladle in one hand and the rag strip in the other, and concentrated on cleaning and wiping the millet plants.

Cleaning millet is a necessary thing, the soil will not only affect the ripening and filling of millet ears, but also contain a large number of germs, if not cleaned, it will let the millet rot.

Zhu Xiang took Ying Xiaozheng to watch the peasants wipe the millet plants for a day.

They did not go down to work in the fields, but watched the whole day at the edge of the fields. While watching, Zhu Xiang taught Ying Xiaozheng the knowledge of field remediation after the flood. Ying Xiaozheng and Zhu Xiang nibbled on the steamed bun with salted meat, and spent the day drinking cold and white.

After going back, Ying Xiaozheng said to Zhu Xiang: "It's really difficult for farmers, it's tiring to farm, and it's not easy for grain to grow." ”

Zhu Xiang smiled and rubbed Ying Xiaozheng's head.

The First Emperor cub now has such a consciousness, and after he becomes the First Emperor, he should not build a large number of buildings because he has made great achievements comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

"Zheng'er, my uncle has to guide farming, and he doesn't have enough energy. You are good at arithmetic, and you are responsible for the distribution of relief food. Zhu Xiang said, "Pluck your abacus beads." ”

Ying Xiaozheng nodded: "No problem." ”

Compared with reading all day long, to ponder how many meanings there are in the few words of his predecessors, studying in official duties is Ying Xiaozheng's favorite way to learn. Anyway, just flick the abacus beads, do some bookkeeping, and don't get tired, just have fun.

Ordinary children, at the moment, all their energy is spent playing. Ying Xiaozheng thinks that he has passed the age of liking toys and should treat his relaxed official duties as a joke.

Zhu Xiang touched his fat nephew's head. is worthy of being the first emperor cub, and he has the posture of a king at a young age.

However, Zhu Xiang also thinks that instead of holding Ying Xiaozheng to read the books that have been memorized by him every day, it is more useful to study in the internship.

"Follow the schedule given to you by your uncle every day, combine work and rest, have enough rest every day, and never get tired." Zhu Xiang advised, "If I hear that you don't rest according to the schedule one day, you will continue to stay in the house every day and listen to people's reading." ”

Ying Xiaozheng's chubby face collapsed: "Do you have to take a nap?" Can't sleep! ”

"If you can't sleep, you have to close your eyes and take a nap." Zhu Xiang said, "If you close your eyes for a while at noon every day, your body will be a lot easier." Sleep more to grow taller, you don't want to grow taller. ”

After Zhu Xiang finished speaking, he also lifted Ying Xiaozheng upside down.

Ying Xiaozheng's face collapsed even more.

He hummed in his heart, he was tall in the dream room, and when he grew up, he would have to pick up his uncle and turn it upside down.

When the pumpkin vines have grown enough to tie up the shelves, the millet has finally matured, and all the replanted mushrooms have emerged.

The soybean grown in Shu County is also a soybean from Rong Di, which can ripen in three months.

When the corn is ripe, the grain is replenished, and the pumpkin and potatoes are replenished a little, and the time of famine that the farmers need to survive is half short.

Shu County is rich in grass and trees, and three months is not too difficult for the farmers of the Chengdu Plain.

It's just that the peasants in the hilly areas east of Shu County are not having such a good time. The soil layer in the hills is not very thick, and the fields are scattered, making it difficult to reorganize the fields after the heavy floods.

Flash floods can be followed by secondary disasters such as landslides.

Although Zhu Xiang ordered officials to go to the mountains to give warning, first, the officials were short of manpower, and second, the peasants were unwilling to leave the villages and abandon the fields, so the basic warning was useless.

In January after the flood, God gave some hope to the people of Shu County, and the sky was sunny for many days.

But on those days when the weather cleared, Zhu Xiang got reports of multiple landslides and buried villages.
