Become the city lord from today

Chapter 1989: Shirley’s confusion. (3 more please customize)

"Okay, your method is certainly a good one."Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction.

He was becoming more and more satisfied with the fox-eared girl. The girl's way of dealing with things is becoming more and more mature and she considers more and more things. He knows that Chang'an City needs talents now, and he also knows that Chang'an City is now in need of talents. The matter of traitors in the Flanders Empire is more troublesome.

Although the imperial examination is to recruit talents, you can't recruit traitors.

But if the talents from another continent are really good, they will miss out because of this threshold. What should we do?

And Fox Er Niang’s method is just right. It can take into account not only the loss of talents, but also the secrets about Chang’an City.

"Your Majesty, I will follow this method."Anli blinked her brown eyes and replied.

The fox-eared girl actually mainly learned from reading books every day and watching Liu Feng's handling methods.

Over time, she will be able to slowly analyze some things and think more long-term. Not just how to solve the problem at hand.

She has already listed the pros and cons of a thing, trying to find a balance between the two, and even find a better solution.

"Well, just do it like this, I will still be the one to come up with the questions then."Liu Feng responded softly.

After last year's imperial examination, people who want to come this year will definitely be well prepared, so the questions will not be too simple and will be appropriately more difficult.

Of course, the admission threshold will also be slightly Lower it a bit, otherwise if the questions are too difficult, it would be a bit too harsh if you have to answer all the questions correctly before admission.

"Yes, Shirley is already outside. She is here to report to you about agriculture."Anli said.

Liu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, put away the documents on the table, nodded and said,"Then let her come in.""

"yes."Anli turned around and called someone

"Tap tap tap......"

"Your Majesty, all the staff of the Department of Agriculture send greetings to you."Shirley gave a big salute as soon as she came in.

"Come on, don't be so polite. Is there anything you want to report to me today?"Liu Feng raised his hand to indicate.

Shirley stood up and handed over the document, reporting,"I'm here to report to you about the spring sowing. Liu

Feng took the document and started flipping through it. He asked without raising his head,"How is the progress?" Did you run into any trouble?"

"All the crops have been sown according to your request (cieg), and I haven't encountered any trouble for the time being. However, I still don't know much about the planting methods of these crops, so I came here to ask for your advice."Shirley asked humbly

"Okay, which kind of crops do you not know much about? I can give you a list of information then. Liu Feng said softly

"I don’t know anything about pumpkins, winter melons, yams, peas and other crops. So can your Majesty please explain it to me?"Xueli is very humble.

In fact, it's not that she doesn't understand, it's mainly because she's not sure, and the burden on her shoulders is quite heavy.

Because the food produced by the Agriculture Department not only feeds Chang'an City, but also the entire Han Dynasty and the Other kingdoms need food grown by the Agriculture Department.

Therefore, Shirley does not allow herself to make any mistakes. Once there is a little bit of certainty, she must confirm it before proceeding.

Otherwise, the output of the Agriculture Department will be greatly reduced. Even if she was punished, the entire Han Dynasty would suffer accordingly.

So she had to be careful. After several discussions with Aunt Mei, she felt that it was better to trouble His Majesty the King, otherwise they really didn’t know what to do.

"Just these crops, right? It’s just that taking photos of these crops doesn’t look difficult at all. Liu Feng said.

He has read the methods of growing these crops many times in books. Because they are very simple, he remembers them clearly.

"Please give me your Majesty's advice."Shirley immediately took out a notepad and a pen to record.

"If you want to grow pumpkins well, you must remember these stages, which are planting, fertilizing, building a shed, growing and burying the stems in the later stage. If these stages are done well, the yield of pumpkins will not be reduced. Liu Feng said seriously

"Yes, I remember it, Your Majesty."Shirley nodded heavily.

Madam Ma'er liked this kind of knowledge very much, so she listened very carefully and remembered her notes very clearly.

"The first step is to plant. When the pumpkin has 3-5 true leaves, you can choose a sunny afternoon to select strong, disease-free and insect-free seedlings for planting."

Liu Feng's expression was very serious and he continued,"One plant per pot. The planting depth should be so that the cotyledons are level with the soil surface, and watered thoroughly. If you are using seeds for direct seeding, you need to thin out the sick and weak seedlings, leaving 1 plant in each hole. Seedlings."

The reason why he spoke so professionally is because Ma Erniang has read a lot of books about agriculture, and she still knows some professional terms very well.

Shirley nodded heavily and remembered them very seriously,"I have memorized them all. We're down. Your Majesty, what's the next step?"

"The next step is to fertilize. About 10 days after the pumpkin is planted, a thin organic fertilizer should be sprayed once. Wait until the plant starts to climb and grow rapidly. When there are 8-10 true leaves, the first topping will be carried out to promote more growth. When lateral vines sprout, scaffolds can be set up in advance."

Liu Feng thought for a moment and continued,"When the lateral vines are more than 50 centimeters long, you can collect the tender stem tips and petioles for consumption. Pay attention to retaining about 5 leaves, and use a slightly larger soil clod to press the remaining stems and vines to promote germination. For aerial roots, spray a thin, well-rotted organic fertilizer once after each picking."

This step is more complicated, and he speaks slower in order to let the other party catch up.

"Yes, after the pumpkin is planted......"Shirley lowered her head and was busy writing. After a moment, she raised her head and said,"Okay, I've recorded it.""

"Okay, take a rough note first, and ask me if you don’t understand anything."Liu Feng's expression was very serious,"The third step is to build a shed. After the vines circle around the pot on the soil surface, the stems and vines can be pulled to climb the bracket so that the leaves are evenly distributed and the branches do not block each other."

"So that’s it. Why did His Majesty do this?"Shirley asked curiously

"This can improve light transmission and ventilation conditions, thereby increasing the sitting rate by more than 40%. Liu Feng explained.

Sitting melon is actually a lingo of melon farmers. It refers to the phenomenon that the fruits begin to expand after the female flowers are pollinated.

"So that’s it, I understand, then what’s your majesty’s fourth step?"Shirley asked seriously

"The fourth step will also be a little more complicated. You have to listen carefully and ask me if you don't understand anything. Liu Feng said

"yes."Shirley nodded and said
