Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 165 You've committed a crime
"What is an ecological chain?" Looking at more than a dozen Zhuang Han who were busy in the field, the cattle were pulling heavy wooden pears. Because of the high requirements, the progress was relatively slow, and several Zhuang Han followed behind to level the land. Looking at the ruined and unsightly cultivated land, Li Shimin asked with no expression on his face.

The yield of potatoes per mu was eleven stones, which made Li Shimin very happy, but Song Zhong also raised some concerns. Those worries were not only shared by Song Zhong, but also by Qin Chao, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Shimin.

But compared with others, Qin Chao didn't seem to be anxious about his worries. On the contrary, he was confident about it.

In addition, the censor recently impeached Qin Chao. Although Li Shimin is more optimistic about Qin Chao, the frequency of his impeachment two or three times this month still makes Li Shimin feel a little unhappy.

All superiors like smart subordinates, but they don't like cleverness. Some subordinates like to cause trouble.Therefore, Li Shimin planned to beat Qin Chao himself and make him be more honest in the near future.

"Seeds use the fertility of the land to grow, and when they are ripe, the fruits are separated from the branches. When people eat whole grains, they must excrete some useless things, and the branches can be used as food for livestock, and they can also be returned to the field together with manure. Enhancing the fertility of the land, and then continuing to provide fertility for new grains, such a primitive cycle is called an ecological chain." Qin Chao honestly explained.

"Then what's the use of the river mud?" Li Shimin felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but Qin Chao didn't mention the word river mud, so he couldn't help asking.

"River mud is also a type of fertilizer. The fertility of river mud produced in different regions varies, but Chen habitually divides river mud into three types.

One is silt at the bottom of a river, another is silt at the bottom of a slow-flowing river, and the last is silt at the bottom of a pond.

The three kinds of river mud are more fertile than the other from the front to the back. If there is enough pond silt, you only need to sprinkle the silt on the field when farming every year, and you don’t have to worry about the fertility for at least half a year in the future. "Qin Chao explained, but it seemed that Li Shimin didn't quite understand it, so he quickly spun in his mind, thinking of a simpler and more popular explanation.

"Your Majesty, to put it bluntly, the pond mud is to dig a hole on the ground, fill it with water, put fish in it, let it grow, raise some chickens and ducks near it, and often let them take a bath in the pond or something, fish, chicken , duck, the feces of the three will definitely fall into the pond, and these are mixed with the silt at the bottom. After a long period of fermentation, it is no different from a big meal for the land. Well, just like wine The more fragrant it is, there is a reason.”

"A dog can't spit out ivory..." Li Shimin suppressed a smile, pointed at Qin Chao and cursed.

This is well said, and he understood the meaning, but your last sentence is the same as the wine becomes more and more fragrant the longer you drink it. Is this because you don’t want me to drink?Is there any way you explain it?

'puff……'

Cheng Yaojin on the side almost burst out laughing, but Changsun Wuji and the others looked calm, Cheng Yaojin cursed inwardly, what are you pretending to be?Then he yelled at Qin Chao: "Boy, you offended a lot of people today, what's wrong? Did you take out your latest wine to make amends tonight?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that production should not be the main focus at this stage. We should try our best to grow potatoes in various environments in order to find out the most suitable method for growing potatoes and the yield in different environments. Only by knowing these data can we know what to expect in the future, so that we won’t panic and be caught off guard when something goes wrong.” Qin Chao didn’t bother to talk to Cheng Yaojin, but pointed to the two different lands and explained.

"You made good wine again?" Li Shimin was easily knocked upstairs by Cheng Yaojin.

"Your Majesty, there used to be a lot of wine, but before the wine was made, Uncle Cheng drank most of it secretly. The cost of this wine is too high, and the cheapest wine is about the same as the most expensive wine on the market. Although the wine is small, We have a lot of money, but we can't afford such trouble. Your Majesty, you should wait a little longer. When I make some money, I will brew a batch of wine specially for Your Majesty and send it to the palace and to your uncles." Qin Chao said He was not a kind person, although Cheng Yaojin treated him well.

But it's your fault if you steal my wine in private, so Qin Chao decided to give Cheng Yaojin some eye drops.

Qin Chao's stabbing was indeed effective. Cheng Yaojin felt that countless eyes were looking at him. If eyes could kill, then these dozens of sharp eyes would have killed him hundreds of times.

Who is Bu Cheng Yaojin?The last thing you need is face.

Qin Chao wanted to use his own face to keep his wine, how could Cheng Yaojin agree?
But if you think about it carefully, if you sell the news about the wine at home, these guys will definitely snatch it away. Then what will you drink in the future?Forget it, I, Old Cheng, am thick-skinned anyway, so you can just look at it as you like. You can’t lose a piece of meat or something, it’s useful.

"Cough..." Li Shimin couldn't help coughing. How could he not know the purpose of Qin Chao's move?Aren't you just complaining that you didn't give him a brewing order?But if you don’t look at the time, do I, Lao Li, dare to give it to you at this time?Aren't you afraid of being targeted?
Ever since, Lao Li, who felt bored, happily turned the building back again, "How much can the yield be increased by farming in this way?"

"Fifteen shi per mu should be no problem, but I think it should be more." Qin Chao silently broke his fingers. In the Tang Dynasty, one shi was 53 kilograms, and the previous experiment in Xiba Village had already reached the yield per mu. Eleven shi, although it is only an estimated value, even if it is ten shi, there is still a big gap with the most common land in later generations. Besides, I have worked hard this time, so it should be no problem to produce [-] shi per mu Bar?

Li Shimin suppressed the excitement in his heart, fifteen stones, from eleven stones to fifteen stones, originally eleven stones were unthinkable in this day and age, if fifteen stones could be produced, then ...

After the Tang Dynasty, isn't it happy or not?
At that time, it is stipulated that half of the land of each household will be planted with ordinary grain, and the other half will be planted with potatoes. They will live on potatoes on weekdays and occasionally eat other rations. Food was transported to important border towns for hoarding. In this case, if a war broke out in the future, wouldn't the imperial court be able to send a large army to the border within half a month?

But there doesn't seem to be a safe place at the current border. Build a super grain fort with reinforced concrete?
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was reliable, and he couldn't help but exultantly said: "If you can really produce fifteen stones this time, I will help you to take over the matter of you kidnapping the Wang family's daughter, and the matter in Henan, if it is not enough Fifteen stones, or if the gap is too big, then count the crime and punish it."

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Qin Chao took a sharp breath, how could Li Shimin even know about this?Wait, that thing in Henan?What's going on in Henan?What does it have to do with me? "Your Majesty, what's the matter in Henan? The last time I contacted Henan was to ask Lao Hei to get back the property deposited with Jiang Guogong. Could it be that Lao Hei committed a crime on the way?"
