Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu understood a truth in his previous life, force alone cannot solve all problems, sometimes money is more useful than other things.

"You tell them, because this batch of tea from my king will only be more fragrant after being picked and baked by young and beautiful women. Picking starts at Chen hour every day, and I have a meal at noon, and I rest for two quarters of an hour. In the afternoon until the end of You hour, if my family is worried , you can pick up and drop off the whole journey, this tea picking girl’s daily income is definitely not low, you go and ask which one can resist this temptation.”

Lei Luo also knew the wages, so he was very excited. If the prince only recruited female workers, he would have wanted to go. He asked quietly: "My lord, there are many young and beautiful maidservants in the villa. Are you going to pick tea?"

"Okay, it's up to you, as long as you can distinguish between public and private."

"Yes, yes, it must be handled fairly." Lei Luo walked away happily, silently calculating how many workers the family could have at most, the time for picking tea was short, and the wages were high. Do it, make a profit without losing money.

I don't know how the news got out. Some people began to laugh at the Lei family as worthy of being a family of merchants, and they didn't even let this kind of money go.After the tea picking on the first day was over and the wages were settled, Lei Luo earned a net 15 taels of silver a day relying on the twelve maidservants in his family.

15 taels, how many roast chickens and ducks can you buy at Liji Grocery Store, how many barrels of soybean oil can you buy, even if you go to buy high-quality fertile land, 15 taels can buy three acres, and this is only a day's work.

The next day, many families sent their young girls or daughters-in-law. Considering the size of the tea garden, Lei Luo didn't dare to ask for too many people, so he only accepted a few hard-working ones, otherwise the tea picked that day would not be able to reach them. It's a waste to deal with it.

But other people didn't know this, and they all accused Lei Luo of pocketing his own money, disregarding public and private interests in order to earn a few taels of silver.

But there is no reason to go to the Lei family. They say that this family is helping Shun Wang to work now, and they are not in their charge. They dare not go to Shun Wang.

Even if they dared, they couldn't find anyone. Li Xu led hundreds of people out of the city in a mighty way early in the morning, to the mountain full of peach blossoms. The experimental field was at the foot of the mountain.

There are peach blossoms all over the mountains, and the breeze blows gently, and the peach blossoms rain down from the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. What a beautiful scene, even a big man like Li Xu who doesn't know how to appreciate natural landscapes can't help but want to be romantic.

He thought that if he had a crush in the future, he should choose this month as the time to confess. If he could take a video of this place, it would be beautiful.

The little princess ran around with her new maid, catching the petals falling from the sky with both hands, and putting them in a bamboo basket, saying that she wanted to take them back for Aunt Xu to make peach blossom cakes.

Aunt Xu is the newly recruited cook, and her daughter's name is Xiaoya, who is just right to be a maid for the little princess.

Li Xu let them go to play, and took the interviewer to the edge of the experimental field. He also specially came to see the results of his experiment today. Seeing the ears of rice growing on the green seedlings, Li Xu was happier than anyone else.

"Today is the second round of interviews. This level will determine your future. Those with high grades will have the opportunity to directly become officials. Those with medium grades will be assigned to be stewards in various places. Those with low grades can decide on their own. , but staying can only be an ordinary employee, of course, as long as you work hard enough, you will still have the opportunity to be promoted to a manager in the future."

When everyone heard that they could directly become officials, they were all very surprised. Although some of them thought that if they could enter Shun Palace, they would have a good future, they never thought that they would be able to become officials directly after the interview. Promote faster.And in the eyes of the prince, as long as he can make political achievements, he will surely be able to rise to the top in the future.

"I also invite the prince to come up with a question." Some students put on a posture, eager to try.

Li Xu let the crowd spread out along the edge of the field, pointed to the few acres of paddy fields and said, "Look, this is the rice planted by this king's improved sowing method. For many months, South Vietnam has a warm climate and abundant rainfall, which means that three rice crops can be planted in a year."

"It's impossible." Someone categorically retorted, "My lord's idea is too good, but these few acres of rice fields grow better, but it may not be because of the government's good care and fertile soil. In South Vietnam, not everyone Mu of paddy fields can have such fertile soil, plus water damage, natural disasters, etc., it is impossible to reach this level."

Li Xu called out the speaker, and saw that he was a young man in his twenties. He admired his courage, and said, "There is some truth in your words. An article related to agricultural tax is published; for farmers, think about how to fertilize and irrigate the land to make the land more fertile, the finer the better; craftsmen use local materials, as long as they can make a new farm tool, it is considered a success. In other words, as long as it is about these few acres of paddy fields, anything useful to it is fine, and the result depends on whether the things you make or think are practical."

"What about the time limit?"

"Before sunset, the craftsman can extend it to three days."

Before Li Xu left, he repeatedly asked: "Don't touch the rice in this field rashly, and you are not allowed to go to the field. If there is any damage, the grades will be void."

Today is a rare fine weather, Li Xu left a group of interviewers at the edge of the field, and hid in the house to drink tea and chat. Transport the Kou family army down the mountain.

The tea leaves were picked by female workers and put into bamboo baskets, which were filled and put aside. When the Kou family’s army practiced on the mountain, they would take them down the mountain. It only took a quarter of an hour to run from the mountain to the tea garden.

Zhong Shuiqing sat at the head of Li Xu, made tea for him, and saw the busy scene inside and outside, and said with emotion: "The prince has only been in Nanyue for a few months, but he has made many achievements that the predecessors could not imagine. It is the blessing of the people."

Li Xu smiled, "This is just the beginning, it's not too late to show off when you succeed, and this king is thanks to the help of all the adults, otherwise I can't do anything alone."

Zhong Shuiqing admired Li Xu ever since he saw those acres of fields. They didn't like this kind of sowing method at first. When the rice seedlings grew up day by day, they grew better and faster than those in other fields. Had to take it. "My lord said just now that rice can be grown three times a year, but is it true?"

"You can figure out the time yourself. It takes three or four months from sowing to harvesting, which is December in a year. But it is more appropriate to plant two seasons."

Zhong Shuiqing shook his head, "The time is enough, but the climate is not suitable, and the land needs to be recuperated after planting food, otherwise the fertility will not be enough, and the food will not grow well."

"So, I asked them to think about it carefully. Is there a better way of fertilizing? The fertility of the soil can be adjusted. It's time to fertilize these few acres of fields."

"This is actually an example of an old farmer suggesting that human and animal manure can be used as fertilizer, but it is still in the process of groping. It has been tried before and found that large areas of rice have died, or it is useless."

"I know that manure must be diluted as fertilizer. If it is cow manure and pig manure, it must be fertilized before it can be used, otherwise the crops will be burned to death."

Zhong Shuiqing didn't expect him to know this, and hurriedly asked: "It's so, does the prince know how to make fat?"

"I don't know." Li Xu thought, how would I know how this pig dung and cow dung turned into fertilizer?All I know is that it's a puddle of shit, and I have to thank the Agriculture Channel for knowing that they can be used as fertilizer.

Li Xu recalled it carefully, and it really reminded him a little bit, "You try to ferment weeds, rice stalks and manure together, as for how many days it will take, try it yourself. "

Zhong Shuiqing quickly took the notes and asked him about insect control. He always felt that there was a more convenient way than catching insects with his hands.

Li Xu can't laugh or cry, the era he was reborn in is too backward, but what can he do, he only knows that pesticides are used to kill insects, such as dichlorvos, 666, paraquat, etc. People who commit suicide by drinking pesticides It has always been there, and the more I hear it, the more I remember the name.

But if you want him to formulate pesticides, it would be really embarrassing for him. He failed junior high school chemistry.

Zhong Shuiqing asked Li Xu many questions from the beginning to the end, but Li Xu didn't know much, but he could always mention some fresh methods. Although he didn't know the principle, it opened up a new world for those who are good at agriculture The door is open, and you can always succeed if you explore slowly.

Li Xu was a little anxious when he was asked, but fortunately Kou Xiao knew that he was here for lunch, so he rescued him from a hundred thousand reasons by the way.

"My lord must not be a good wife." Kou Xiao saw his impatience and teased.

Li Xu felt concerned, "Yes, if I can become a wife, you can become a good person."

"Isn't the last general a good man?"

Li Xu rolled his eyes at him, and asked with his eyes: Are you serious?

No matter how thick-skinned Kou Xiao was, he nodded in embarrassment, and changed the topic to serious matters, "Guo Fu said, the prince hasn't visited the tea garden after it's built, how about going to see it together in the afternoon?"

"It's not over here yet. Let's go at night. It doesn't matter what kind of tea garden is built. The main thing is that the tea making process can't go wrong." In addition to recruiting tea girls, Li Xu also recruited a group of tea-making workers. For those who had experience in making tea, Li Xu told them the process he knew, and these people said that they would definitely be able to handle it.

Everyone usually uses these procedures to make tea more or less, but it is not complete. When Li Xu's method came out, everyone thought it was very good, and the tea roasted in this way should be very good.

But what kind of a good idea is it? Only when the results come out will we know that among the people he recruited are some tea farmers from the northwest, and after today he can pick one or two to work in the tea garden. More energy to manage the tea garden.
