The next day, Li Shen followed Li You out of Rongzhou City and went to a nearby village to check the situation of the crops.

Li Shen rode a horse and walked between the fields, and now it was the time of the first ripening, a piece of golden, which made people feel comfortable after seeing it.

I still remember you saying that home is the only castle, as the Daoxiang River continues to run, smiling slightly, I know the dream when I was a child.

Li Shen dismounted, came to a field, stretched out his hand and grabbed the ears of rice and looked at it,

"Fifth brother, is this land fertilized?"

"Most don't." Li You replied that the fertilizers of this period were limited to manure, human, livestock, etc.

"Fifth brother, the land is not fertile, of course the grain is not growing well, we can burn the straw in the field, scatter it in the ground, and then plough the ground and cultivate it.

Go to the mountains and forests to pull back all the dead leaves on the ground, and let them rot for a while.

It's all something that can be seen everywhere, there are mountains here, the woods are dense, and there should be a lot of fallen leaves. ”

Li Shen passed on the knowledge he had to Li You, which was all his experience in his previous life when he lived in the countryside.

Or rather, the experience of the older generation.

"And there are such methods?" Li You was a little surprised, what Li Shen said was indeed everywhere, and the straw was pulled home by the people in Zhuangzi to make a fire.

Some of them are thrown aside when they can't be used up, and there are countless leaves, and this place is full of forests.

"Fifth brother, everything in this world is mutually reinforcing, haven't you heard of fire and earth?" Li Shen's performance was unfathomable, but in fact, he didn't know what the principle was.

Li Shen then rode a few more places and found that they were indeed growing well.

"Fifth brother, how many places can you grow three times a year besides here?" Li Shen asked.

"From here to the southwest, you can basically get three crops, but not far from the southwest is not my Datang territory.

To the south is Nanzhao, and to the southwest is Zhenla and Zhancheng, Linyi and other places. ”

Li Shen nodded after hearing this, that is to say, there are not many places in Datang that are suitable for three crops, which is different from what he thought at the beginning.

"Tenth brother, we have a lot of two-cooked places, and the long time is long, and the yield is a little more than that of the three-cropped, one mu and three stones." Li You added.

"Well, the fifth brother is right, it's not bad to be familiar with two crops. Fifth brother, you have made great contributions to the imperial court for more than a year,

The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo relied on the grain court on the side of the fifth brother to be able to hold on until now.

When I go back, I will definitely ask for credit for the fifth brother. ”

Li Shen was telling the truth, the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the implementation of the Huairou policy, needed to supply the people of Goguryeo in the occupied areas with a year's worth of food.

This made the imperial court a heavy burden, and if it weren't for the support of Lingnan, the imperial court's reserve grain would have been exhausted long ago.

"Whatever the tenth brother said, this is what you should do as a courtier, although I am now a county uncle, but how can I also be the son of Aya,

In the past, when I was young, I listened to slander, if it wasn't for the tenth brother to intercede with Aye, now I have become a pile of loess.

Now I don't want anything else, I just want to live in peace and do something for the court and Aya.

In place of my inability to fulfill my filial piety. ”

Li You said with emotion.

"Fifth brother, don't worry, everything you do here, Aya will see.

It's actually good that you're here, stay away from that place of right and wrong, I can't do it, and now I can't leave it.

I'll go back and tell Aya that it should be no problem to ask you for a prince, and in a few years, you will make some contributions, and it will not be difficult to restore the status of the prince. ”

Li Shen comforted a few words.

After lunch, Li Shen followed Li You to the College of Agriculture, where most of the researchers came from the Li Shen Research Institute.

In fact, he is a farmer, and he can read and write.

How can you do research without documenting.

Hearing that King Ji came to see them, these people were very excited and greeted them at the door early.

"See the prince." The crowd saluted.

"Well, excuse me." Li Shen sat on his horse and nodded.

Looking at this group of tanned research institutes, Li Shen felt a little reluctant in his heart.

Let Li Shen go to a large hall, a place similar to a conference room, Li Shen stood on it, looked at the faces below Li Shen and said with emotion:

"You have worked hard, this king is ashamed, it took so long to come to visit you,"

"The prince is serious, the prince is so busy every day, and now he can come and visit me in his busy schedule, which is already a great blessing."

"Yes, the prince is very busy every day."

Looking at these peasants who helped them find reasons, I couldn't help but feel a little self-blame in my heart, what simple people.

They came to this place uprooted, unfamiliar with the place, just to complete the task assigned by the palace.

"No, this king is ashamed of you, your achievements here are already known to this king, and this king will definitely not treat you badly for your contribution to the palace and the court.

Your wages will be doubled, and you will be able to go home once a year, and if you wish, the king may send all your families here and let you settle here. ”

Originally, Li Shen wanted to say some encouraging words, but seeing these people so simple, Li Shen couldn't bear to lie to them.

But even so, these people still cheered after listening to Li Shen's words,

Originally, the wages of coming here were very high, otherwise who would want to leave their homeland and come to this miasma.

Now it's doubled again, and I'm a little rich when I go back after a few years.

And it's extra grace to allow them to go home once a year.

After that, everyone took Li Shen to visit the Agricultural College.

There is rice from all over the country, which Li Shen has spent a lot of money to transport and then crossbreed different kinds of rice at the time of flowering.

Whether it is successful or unsuccessful, it is necessary to record it, and then improve the seeds even a little better, and then continue to cross with other different species.

In the long run, we will continue to breed excellent varieties through continuous exploration, and this is what the College of Agriculture needs to do.

What Li Shen has to do is to transport rice seeds from all over the country here every year for their continuous experiments.

It's a very long project, five years, ten years or more.

Maybe this generation will not be able to complete it, but they will write down their experience and wisdom and pass it on to the next generation.

Li Shen attaches great importance to this project, and admires these people, they are for the court, for the people of the entire Tang Dynasty,

They have experienced hunger, so they want posterity to be free from hunger.

Li Shen finally told them to look for a kind of stone, a crystal, which smelled pungent, and this kind of stone could make the land fertile and make the farmland grow better.

However, Li Shen also said that he didn't know how to use it, and they needed to study and explore it by themselves.

And they were told not only to study rice, but also other crops, vegetables and fruits.

As long as it is research, the money of the palace will continue to be invested in it, and no matter what you want, the palace will try to send it to them.

Because Li Shen knows that the people take food as the sky.

(Old iron, Kavin, I don't want to write nonsense yet, I checked the information for a day, and I will continue to check it tomorrow.) ）
