My little cutie [farming]

Shi Changpu's study in the academy has no worries at all.After registering at the registration office, it can be regarded as knowing the system of this college.

Last five and two off.

The school hours are similar to those of later generations, with five days off and two days off.Classes start around [-]:[-] in the morning, with two sessions in the morning and two sessions in the afternoon, and an hour-long break at noon.In summer, half an hour more of the noon break is used for lunch break.

The college has its own student dormitory, and you can also choose to study on a day-to-day basis.In addition to the courses that Bai Su and Shi Changpu were familiar with before, there are also formal courses on the six arts of gentlemen.

Looking at those course schedules, Bai Su almost couldn't help wanting to come in for further studies.

After all, for a real Chinese person, even in the future time and space, he can't restrain himself from wanting to learn some brush calligraphy, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from time to time.

Bai Su wanted to learn Erhu back then, but unfortunately he never had the chance.Now I can spare time to learn some of these instruments.

Because of Bai Su's special situation, originally the college wanted to directly arrange Shi Changpu's accommodation.After all, Yuelu Academy is a big academy, so there are naturally brothers in it.

Even if you don't want to share a dormitory with others, you can choose a single dormitory with a slightly more expensive accommodation fee.For Shi Changpu, who has more than 200 million taels of silver in his pocket, the single room accommodation fee of three taels of silver a month is really not expensive.

However, Shichangpu did not live.

Before Bai Su came here, he had already said that he would buy a house in Suzhou.So Shi Changpu naturally didn't even have to think about it, he wanted to live in his own home with Bai Su.

As for the fact that Bai Su is already a member of Tao Liangzhou, and he has to go back to take up his post—didn't you see that there are still two days of vacation per week, it's fine to go back during the vacation.

Every five days, she goes back to work for two days, Bai Su is even more serious than her predecessor.

The house that Bai and Su bought was not big, just a small courtyard.There are only three or five people in total, so there is really no need to buy too big.

The house was bought at the gate of the city, and not far from the door was the road to the academy.Get up every morning to wash up, and then you can walk to the academy in less than 15 minutes, without any delay Shi Changpu occasionally sleeps in.

Although Shichangpu never sleeps late.

The two masters, Bai Su and Shi Changpu lived in the main house, the gatekeeper and coachman lived in the gatehouse, and the cook who was in charge of cooking, washing and cleaning lived in a single room next to the kitchen.

There are four rooms in a courtyard, and a simple study room made of calamus was saved.It can't compare with Wangjiang Mansion, and naturally it can't compare with the big study in Tao Liangzhou's sea view room.

But the general learning tools and books are still fully prepared.It seems that on the first day of enrollment, he was stimulated by the fact that the five leaders from both sides of the school greeted him. In order not to embarrass Bai Su, Shi Changpu's enthusiasm for advancement skyrocketed again.

Bai Su was stunned by the kind of mental head that wanted to plunge into the sea of ​​books.This time, no matter how hard Bai Su tried to make Shi Changpu relax, the idea of ​​[Don't embarrass Bai Su] was even more deeply imprinted in Shi Changpu's heart than his desire for knowledge and self-motivation.

After several failed attempts, Bai Su could only let Shi Changpu move.Fortunately, these things can be regarded as positive, so they are temporarily left alone.

This time, Bai Su didn't put his things in the study, but set up a small experimental workshop in the yard.Randomly built a place like a woodshed, filled with messy things.

Even though he was not in Tao Liangzhou, Bai Su didn't want to die yet, so he still took things in Tao Liangzhou to heart.

Tao Liangzhou's geographical environment is harsh, there is no edible mountain, and the water it relies on is bad water that cannot be eaten.The coastline is full of hidden reefs, and it is difficult even to go fishing.

The land is salinized on a large scale, and because it is located in the south, people in Taoliang Prefecture are also accustomed to growing rice.It's a pity that it is basically wishful thinking to grow rice on the soil with such severe salinization.

There are basically three ways to improve saline-alkali land in later generations. The first is the most direct land washing, commonly known as the soaking method.Irrigate the saline-alkali soil with clean water and change the water continuously until the saline-alkali content in the soil becomes less.

It's a pity that this method is completely inapplicable in Taoliangzhou. Taoliangzhou is close to the sea, and the seawater itself has a high salinity, which is not a clean water source at all.Even the well water that Tao Liangzhou people drink has a little bitter taste.

Bai Su has never drank the water from Tao Liangzhou, but Bai Su has a report on the specific situation of Tao Liangzhou in his hand.

The largest water source cannot be used, and it is not practical to drill a well nearby, so the method of soaking fields can be given up first.

The second method can be regarded as the golden mean, that is, deep cultivation.As the name implies, it is a method that can be understood. When cultivating, the soil that was originally only used for more than a dozen centimeters on the surface is deepened for planting, and it is plowed to a depth of [-] to [-] centimeters, and the lower layer of fertile soil is turned up for cultivation.

Maybe it will be useful in the first year, maybe the second year, but in the third year, it will still return to its original state.Moreover, Tao Liangzhou did not suddenly become a saline-alkali land. According to historical records, the saline-alkali land there has a history of hundreds of years.

So deep cultivation or something is basically unrealistic.The salinization of the soil in Taoliangzhou is deep into the 'bone'.Even if the laborious and costly plowing is half a meter deep, it may not be possible to dig out fertile soil.

What's more, it's just a temporary solution.Maybe after a year or two, Bai Su has been transferred to another place, and he doesn't need to continue to be responsible for the scene that has become fruitless again.

But Bai Su couldn't stand that kind of mess. In his eyes, there were only two ways to solve the problem—either once and for all, or to ignore it from the beginning.

It is not his choice to give up halfway and the time limit is very short.

So Bai Su had only one choice in the end—biological improvement.

To put it simply, it is to plant things on it, and restore soil fertility through the ability of the plants themselves to deal with the problem that salinization cannot be planted.

We may still not be able to grow rice in the future, but as long as we can grow things, we won’t starve to death, right?

As a person who aspires to become an experienced doctor of Chinese medicine, Bai Su is not familiar with anything, but is very familiar with Chinese medicine.As a wood-type supernatural being, Bai Su is not familiar with anything, but is very familiar with plants.

On the saline-alkali soil, even without his supernatural ability, he can grow things by himself.It's just that those things are a bit far away for southerners, and they are not within the scope of consideration for poor people who are about to starve to death.

Just like sorghum in food crops, most southerners don't even have a specific image of sorghum in their minds, and they don't even know what it is.

The planet Bai Su was on at the beginning also had a basic north-south division. As a northern gentleman, Bai Su always thought that watermelons were grown in dry land.When I heard my comrades in the south say that watermelons are grown in water, my whole outlook on life began to shake.When I heard my colleagues in the south ask them whether wheat was also planted in paddy fields, I suspected that watermelon planting in water was a joke.

As everyone knows, in many places in the south, people's watermelons are grown in water.The problem of planting in the north and south regions has blind spots even in a society with such advanced technology and convenient networks in later generations, let alone the ancient feudal dynasties.

Rice can be grown in the north, but the south is not very suitable for growing corn or even wheat, let alone sorghum, which is not very high in the north.

At least as far as the living space of planting is concerned, Bai Su has always felt that the north is better than the south.However, rice in the south can be harvested twice a year, and the climate is mild and the environment is safe. Therefore, in ancient times, the large producers of rice have always been in the south.

It's a bit far away, it's more realistic to look back and find a way to change Tao Liangzhou's situation.

Before Bai Su came here, people had already started to reclaim the land around the sea view house, so the things planted around his house are naturally the most beautiful.

So Bai Su chose Chinese roses and sunflowers. Chinese roses were planted around the manor, and sunflowers were planted in one piece.Imagining the scene of roses blooming and sunflowers blooming in patches in the future, I feel beautiful just thinking about it.

Shi Changpu had just left for school the next day, and Wu Liang chased after him personally.Without saying anything, he directly became Bai Su's concierge butler.

For the Wu family, Bai Su was more and more impressed.

"Help me rent [-] mu of land, and the price will be based on the land rented by Wangjiang Mansion. Now let's give priority to my house. If those farmers are willing to accept employment, they will also be hired by Wangjiang Mansion. Hire someone to help take care of the land. You will be given five days to plow the [-] mu of land first. As for what to plant, I will go back and talk about it after five days.”

Bai Su directly gave Wu Liang 1 taels of silver, and explained the matter of renting the land.Wu Liang didn't hide his surprised expression at all, he stood in front of Bai Su holding the bank note and didn't leave.

"My lord, you don't want to directly subsidize the people in Tao Liangzhou, do you?" Wu Liang didn't just aim at nothing, renting land and hiring the original farmers.In Wu Liang's view, this is no different from giving money directly. After all, the large tracts of cultivated land in Tao Liangzhou are barren.

Even if the common people have land under their names, it is a waste land. It is not that people are lazy and do not plant, but that they cannot grow anything.Under such circumstances, Bai Su still rents the land, isn't that just giving money for nothing?

Bai Su raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Liang with a half-smile. "Did you misunderstand me, do I look like a kind person who doesn't ask for anything in return?"

Wu Liang nodded his head very sincerely. "you are."

After thinking about it, he strengthened his tone a little bit. "In the eyes of the entire Wangjiang Mansion, you are a great kind person who saves suffering like a Bodhisattva."

"..." The corners of Bai Su's mouth twitched twice, and he looked at Wu Liang speechlessly. "It doesn't matter what others say. As a Wu family, how can you not understand the truth? I am in Wangjiang Mansion, but I have earned millions of taels of silver."

In just one year, he earned millions of taels.The most important thing is that they are basically costless transactions.Speaking of Baisu's huge profits, even the largest firm in Dayu Dynasty can't deny this.

The Wu family who can be sent by the emperor and queen to Bai Su's side, Bai Su can't believe that this brave and resourceful Wu family is an ordinary Wu family.

If that's the case, then the Wu family is loyal and loyal even if they haven't become kings yet.

So for this kind of person, Bai Su doesn't think it's a problem to reveal his family background at all.Maybe, people know their family background better than themselves.

Sure enough, Wu Liang didn't have any superfluous reaction to the words of the millions of taels of silver, as if it should have been like this.His expression became more respectful, and his waist was slightly bent.

"It is an adult's ability to make so much money. Anyone with eyes can see how rich the people of Wangjiang Mansion are. So no one will object to the kindness of adults."

Bai Su rubbed his forehead amusedly, not tangling with Wu Liang about this issue anymore.Regardless of whether Wu Liang's words were sincere or just on the spot, it is undeniable that Bai Su was really pleased.
