Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 539 Li Er used guano to fertilize the field for the first time

Empress Changsun sent away Jin Wang Li Zhi, and she began to order people to go to the warehouse of the household department to collect fertilizer belonging to the Lizheng Hall.

This time, the Zhongzhou navy brought millions of stones of guano back to Beijing from the island of guano!
Each Chang'an City Honorable received ten stones of guano.

Among them, the Lizheng Palace also obtained ten stones of guano as fertilizer for the fertile field.

Empress Changsun thought that bird droppings were similar to chicken droppings!

As a result, when the maid of the Lizheng Palace placed the ten stones of guano ore in front of Empress Changsun, she was shocked!
All the guano mined by the Zhongzhou Navy from Guano Island is ore.

These ores are as big as a fist.

The small ones are as big as peanuts!
This is different from the bird droppings in Empress Changsun's impression.

"The bird droppings that Xiao Yuchi mentioned? How did it turn into stone?"

Empress Changsun picked up a piece of transparent guano fossil, frowning.

"Empress, those craftsmen in the household department said that these ores are guano fossils, and they need to be crushed before they can be used!"

The maids of the Lizheng Palace immediately explained their doubts to Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun suddenly realized: "Come here, use a stone mill to grind these guano stones into powder immediately!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

The maids of the Lizheng Palace did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the eunuchs to grind the guano ore.

Before half a stick of incense was available, the maids of the Lizheng Palace brought a barrel of guano ore that had been ground to Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "I will use these bird droppings to fertilize corn and pepper seedlings today!"

After all, Empress Changsun took the guano powder to the back garden to fertilize.

When the maids of the Lizheng Palace arrived in the back garden, they carefully fertilized the half-person tall corn seedlings according to Empress Changsun's instructions.

Empress Changsun personally took care of the ten pepper trees that Yuchihuan gave her today.

However, for the sake of safety, Empress Changsun only used a small amount of guano powder to fertilize the pepper trees.

These are the planting experiences of the eldest grandson empress.

If the crops are not fertilized, they will be malnourished and turn yellow.

But if the crops are fed with too much fertilizer, they will also die of salt!

Empress Changsun is also exploring the method of planting pepper trees.

After fertilizing the ten pepper trees, Queen Changsun planted the pepper seeds found by the palace maid in flower pots!
Once the pepper seeds in the flower plate germinate, Empress Changsun can plant the pepper seedlings on the ridges in the back garden.

Empress Changsun had high hopes for the chili seeds Yuchihuan gave her.

……

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace!
In the morning, Li Er conscientiously corrected the memorials in the Imperial Study Room of Ganlu Hall.

Suddenly Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came to Ganlu Hall to see Li Er.

Li Er immediately ordered the little eunuch to take Liu Zhenghui into the imperial study to face the saint.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

As soon as Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stepped into the imperial study, he immediately saluted Li Erxing.

Li Er raised his head and asked, "Liu Zhenghui, what can you do with me today?"

"Your Majesty, the bird droppings you want, I have already sent someone to the back garden of Ganlu Hall!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, immediately answered Li Er respectfully.

Li Erlong Yan Dayue said: "Liu Zhenghui, how about you accompany me to the back garden today to help fertilize the potato and sweet potato fields?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Liu Zhenghui agreed to Li Er's request without hesitation.

"Let's go!"

Li Er acted vigorously and resolutely, and he immediately got up and left the imperial study.

"Slaves follow orders!"

The prince did not dare to neglect, and immediately led the way.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, followed Li Er meticulously.

Soon, Li Er and his party came to the garden behind Ganlu Hall.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are grown in the back garden.

There are even cornfields!
But what surprised Li Er was that the bird droppings in his eyes turned into stones!

"Liu Zhenghui, are you sure these are bird droppings?"

Li Er picked up a piece of guano fossil and patted the surface of the stone curiously.

In Li Er's eyes, the guano fossils are no different from ordinary stones.

"Your Majesty, this is a fossil of guano that has condensed for thousands of years. You need to crush it to fertilize it!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, immediately explained to Li Er.

"Liu Zhenghui, then help me deal with these guano fossils!"

Li Er simply acted as the hands-off shopkeeper.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had already made preparations. He waved his hand, and immediately craftsmen with hammers smashed the guano fossils.

In a blink of an eye, the mountain of guano fossils in front of Li Er turned into a pile of stone dust.

Li Erlong looked very happy and said: "Liu Zhenghui, help me fertilize!"

After all, Li Er carried a bucket of guano fossil powder to fertilize the sweet potato fields.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also followed suit, carrying a bucket of bird droppings to help fertilize the sweet potato fields.

The eunuchs and maids of the Ganlu Palace did not dare to neglect, they immediately fertilized the fields of the Ganlu Palace in an orderly manner.

Half an hour later, the sweet potato fields, potato fields, and corn fields in Ganlu Hall were all fertilized.

Li Er happily took the prince back to the imperial study to correct the memorial.

Liu Zhenghui, Minister of the Household Department, bid farewell to Li Er and returned to the Household Department to be on duty.

……

Gyeonggi-do, Xianyang Ferry!

At noon, one hundred five-toothed boats of the Zhongzhou Navy lined up neatly in the middle of the Weihe River.

Zhongzhou Navy Commander Liu Rengui stood on the bow of the flagship ship wearing a helmet, and he reluctantly looked towards the direction of Chang'an City.

Liu Rengui originally wanted to rest in Chang'an City for a few days.

But the Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty ordered Liu Rengui to go to Nanyang to find peppers today!

Liu Rengui did not dare to disobey the order and had no choice but to lead the Zhongzhou Navy to sail to the Guano Island again.

When the Zhongzhou navy returns, they will pick Nanyang peppers and return to Beijing.

Woohoo!

The next moment, the Zhongzhou Navy's five-yark fleet set sail amidst the sound of horns.

As the five-toothed boats left Xianyang Ferry, the entire Weihe River was suddenly rippling.

When the last five-toothed ship left Xianyang Ferry, the flagship of the Zhongzhou Navy Fleet was already ten miles away.

A hundred five-toothed boats flow down the river mightily, like water dragons entrenched in the Weihe River, majestic and spectacular.

The secret disc responsible for monitoring the Zhongzhou Navy then returned to Chang'an City and reported to Li Er.

When Li Er learned that Liu Rengui had set off for the island of guano, he immediately laughed heartily and said, "This Liu Rengui is vigorous in his actions, responsible, and a general!"

……

Tai Chi Palace, Zhongshu Province!
At noon, it was time for officials from the six ministries of the three provinces to be on duty.

Yu Chihuan also put away the Four Treasures of the Study, ready to go home for lunch.

"Little Prime Minister Yuchi, do you know how the bird droppings distributed by the court are used?"

The eldest Sun Shunde suddenly ran over to ask Yuchihuan how to use guano to fertilize.

Yu Chihuan smiled and said: "Changsun Shunde, the guano that Liu Rengui brought back is guano ore, which needs to be ground before it can be fertilized!"

"Thank you, Young Prime Minister Yuchi, for reminding me!"

The eldest Sun Shunde smiled, and then left the Zhongshu province happily!
Then Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, and Li Jing also ran over to ask Yuchihuan how to use guano ore to fertilize.

Yu Chihuan unreservedly explained to Cheng Yaojin the formation principle of guano ore, and finally ordered them to crush or grind the guano ore before fertilizing.
