Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

"drive--"

The sound of horseshoes thumping, mixed with the crisp sound of the young man reining in the horse, echoed continuously in the vast fields.

The government soldiers were digging the pit in full swing, looking up at the two galloping horses not far away, they couldn't help but envy and hate.

A few days ago, Huo Yan was digging pits with them, but now because of his riding skills, His Highness valued him, so he was honored to gallop with His Highness.

But it's useless to be jealous, who made them inferior to Huo Yan in riding skills!

Lou Yu didn't know the sadness of the government soldiers, he rode his horse and whipped his whip, galloped all the way down the hill, got off his horse neatly, looked up at Huo Yan with a smile.

"I have learned, thank you!"

The young man's eyes were pure and his expression was sincere.

Huo Yan glanced at him and remained silent.

Fortunately, Lou Yu has gotten used to it. In the past few days, apart from teaching him horsemanship, Huo Yan can keep silent as much as possible.

He tightened his grip on the reins, and suddenly said: "I received news yesterday that Huo Xuan and Huo Qiong will arrive in Qingzhou soon."

Huo Yan raised his eyes suddenly, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but when he met Lou Yu's gaze, he subconsciously avoided it.

He turned his head, Lou Yu could only see his profile.

The temples are cut like knives, the eyebrows are like swords, and the nose is like hanging galls. He is really handsome.

The young man's long eyelashes drooped down to cover his eyes, hiding the fluctuating emotions in his eyes, but his tightly pursed lips revealed a trace of anxiety.

After all, you are young, and you still can't show your emotions and anger.

Lou Yu knew what he wanted to ask, so he kindly said, "Both of you are in good health. After the farm affairs are over, your uncles and nephews can be reunited."

Huo Yan seemed relieved, turned his head back again, and nodded to Lou Yu very lightly to express his gratitude.

If Lou Yu hadn't been paying attention to him, he probably wouldn't have received his message.

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing secretly, this awkward temper is quite cute.

He got on his horse, his posture was neat.

"Go back."

Huo Yan stood on the spot, raised his eyes to see the handsome young man's back, his eyes gradually became confused.

In view of Feng Erbi's propaganda work in place, the people of Qingzhou Prefecture basically got the news that Qingwang's mansion farm will buy a large amount of livestock excrement and bones, and it doesn't matter if you buy it by catty, or by stone!

What does Prince Qing's Mansion want those pickled things for?

There was a lot of discussion in teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys, and some people even went to King Qing's mansion to ask whether the matter was true or not.

After Feng Erbi reported the progress of the work, he couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Your Highness, what is your purpose in collecting those things?"

Lou Yu explained patiently: "I asked Zhuangtou, and Zhuangtou said that the farm's harvest has been decreasing year by year, but both the wheat species and the climate are the same as in previous years."

"Why is that?" Feng Erbi had never planted land before, so he couldn't figure it out at all.

"Maybe it's because the land is not fertile enough, the crops can't absorb nutrients, and they are naturally dry and grainless."

Lou Yu gave him an example, "Just like people, if they are hungry since childhood, they will grow thin."

Feng Erbi understood half of it.

"I understand manure, but what's the use of bones?"

Lou Yu was stunned, because the bones can be boiled and ground into powder to increase calcium and phosphorus!

He couldn't explain calcium and phosphorus to Feng Erbi, he was a little flustered, so he said: "Just do as I tell you, don't ask more questions."

"Yes."

Feng Erbi was about to resign, when he suddenly thought of something: "His Royal Highness, someone asked whether to accept fish bones, how should I respond?"

"Of course!" Lou Yu's eyes lit up.

Annoyed that he didn't explain clearly, he immediately ordered: "I want fish bones, fish scales, shrimp shells, crab shells, and hooves and horns of livestock!"

After a pause, he asked Feng Erbi: "Can Qingzhou Prefecture receive a large amount of fish and shrimp bones?"

It stands to reason that coastal cities are more convenient to provide these.

Feng Erbi frowned, "Your Highness, there are quite a few fishmongers in Qingzhou's capital near the sea."

"really?"

Lou Yu sat up straight, what a surprise!

He has been traveling for so many days, because the original owner has no relevant memories and no map to check, so he really didn't know that Gyeongju Prefecture is actually an offshore city!

In other words, he can have extremely rich ocean resources!

In ancient times, what made the most money?

Selling Salt is definitely one of them!

Where there is sea, there is salt!

He immediately asked, "Is there a salt field by the sea?"

Feng Erbi nodded, "Yes."

Lou Yu rubbed his chin, his heart was inevitably moved.

If he remembers correctly, in ancient times it was generally a salt and iron official camp, and the salt farm was built by the government.However, private salt is rampant in many places, and the government is either unable to control it, or colludes with private salt dealers to make huge profits.

It is impossible for the Dasheng Dynasty to have no private salt.

Gyeongju prefecture owns salt farms, so he doesn't believe that the prefect of Gyeongju will not profit from it.

What Lou Yu lacks most now is money, and at present, it seems that the most profitable thing is selling private salt.

The battle to increase food production is too long, but selling salt is definitely something that can make huge profits in the short term.

However, if you want to touch the cake of the imperial court, you have to plan it slowly.

If there is a chance, he must go to the saltworks to have a look.

He couldn't help laughing, and looked at Feng Erbi: "You have made a great contribution."

Feng Erbi laughed blankly, he himself didn't know what merit he had done.

There is no rush to plot the salt farm, so Lou Yu put it aside for the time being, calmed down, and told Feng Erbi: "The acquisition should be implemented as soon as possible, and you go and call the village head."

After a while, Zhuangtou came over respectfully and saluted tremblingly: "Your Highness has something to do, just tell the villain."

Lou Yu asked him to get up, without further ado, unfolded the map of the farm, and cut straight to the point: "As far as I know, these are all high-grade fields, this one is medium-grade, and this one is low-grade, right?"

After managing the farm for many years, Zhuangtou is very familiar with the farm, so he nodded repeatedly, "What your highness said is very true."

"So, I will order you to do one thing."

Lou Yu's fingertips flicked across the picture, "The upper, middle, and lower third-class fields are divided into two parts. One half is the experimental field, and the other half is the ordinary field. Do you understand?"

In the past few days, the farm has been going to war, and the head of the farm probably guessed Lou Yu's purpose, so he tentatively asked: "Your Highness wants half of the crops to be planted with the new method, and half of the crops to be grown with the old method, so as to make a comparison?"

"Not bad." Lou Yu nodded.

Although Zhuangtou felt that it was unreliable, but the farm's harvest was not his, he would do what the master ordered.

"The villain will do it immediately."

Knowing that the Wangfu Grange purchased waste, Guo Tang made a "poof" and sprayed tea on the servant's face.

"What did you say?!" He looked pale, "What is Lou Yu doing collecting those filth? Is he crazy?"

The servant also shook his head in bewilderment, "At first, no one believed it, but a butcher from a slaughterhouse shipped some broken bones over there, and they really got money. Now everyone is crazy and goes to the farm to exchange money."

Who would refuse to exchange unwanted waste for money?

Even though everyone regards Prince Qing as a fool, they all wish that Prince Qing would come up with such an idea.

Grange has a steady stream of deliveries every day.

Lou Yuding's purchase price was extremely low, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the common people. Everyone wanted to take advantage of the new year's end and save a little more money for a good year.

Under Lou Yu's command, the excrement of the livestock was buried in the excavated cesspool, together with weeds, straw and the like, and after it was fermented and decomposed, it could be applied to the field to increase fertilizer.

Broken bones and hard shells, etc., Lou Yu summoned the entire farm to boil and mash them, and also seal them up for fermentation.

The experimental fields and ordinary fields have also been allocated, and they are waiting for the spring ploughing.

The cloud of suspicion over the farm grew stronger day by day, and the farmers disagreed with Lou Yu's move to divide the land, but they only dared to talk about it in private.

It's just that the rumors couldn't be concealed, some secretly derogatory words about Lou Yu spread to the main courtyard, Feng Erbi was furious, and wanted to punish those gossips.

Lou Yu was calm and stopped him: "It's only human nature for farmers to worry about next year's harvest."

"But they forgot that this farm belongs to Prince Qing's Mansion, and you are their parents, Your Highness. If His Highness doesn't let them continue to plant, how can they have next year?" Feng Erbi is eager to protect the Lord.

Lou Yu doesn't care about being talked about, but if he continues to spread rumors, it will indeed affect the tranquility of the farm.

It just so happened that his experimental field needed competent people to take charge of it, so he took this opportunity to find something for the farmers to do to dispel their doubts.

He instructed Feng Erbi: "Pass the word down and let the farmers tell their experience in farming one by one, and you are responsible for recording it in the book. If anyone has real skills, this hall will definitely reward them."

These farmers have been farming all their lives, and they have accumulated some experience. They may not be as good as the masters of agriculture, but they are the generals among the dwarfs, let's use it for the time being.

Feng Erbi took the order to go to work, and the farm became lively again.

When the householders learned that His Highness was going to be a "wealth-spreading boy" again, they ran over one after another and talked about the farming in a lively manner.

There were too many people, so Feng Erbi had to call A Zhi and A Yan to help out.

The dealers had a lot of slurred speech and nonsense, and Feng Er's head was dizzy when he took notes, and he wanted to curse his mother.

Ah Yan was also impatient, wishing to let the farmers stop talking about trivial things.

Everyone said their own things, and the scene was once very chaotic.

Ah Zhi observed quietly for a moment, then whispered a few words into Feng Erbi's ear.

Feng Erbi gave him a compliment when he heard the words, stood up and shouted sharply:

"Everyone line up! Those who don't line up will not be accepted!"

If you don't accept it, you will have no money, and the dealers immediately line up.

Feng Erbi said again: "Each person only has one cup of tea, don't repeat what the previous person said, if there is no fresh one, just leave!"

Although he is not very old, he has been with Lou Yu for a long time, and he has acquired some momentum.

The bankers were bluffed by him, and when they recounted it, they were much more fluent and concise than before.

Things were going well, but after half a day, Lou Yu received a thick stack of paper.

The records of these experiences were neat, and there was no need to repeat them, so Lou Yu quickly finished reading them.

Instead, he discovered something special.

Most of the dealers' experiences were fragmentary, and they talked about what they thought of, but this person named "Lin Dajing" was different.

The experience he narrated is quite organized.

From spring plowing to autumn harvest, proceed in chronological order and go through the entire process systematically.Moreover, these experiences are obviously the results of analysis and demonstration.

Lou Yu called Zhuangtou and asked about Lin Dajing.

"Lin Dajing?" Zhuangtou straightened his words, "He is very serious in his work, but sometimes he is too serious, and the land is indeed better than others."

"Since you know that he grows well, why doesn't the farm use his methods?" Lou Yu asked.

Zhuangtou hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Your Highness doesn't know something, even if you use the same method, the ears of wheat he planted will be heavier than others."

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing.

He has always believed that no matter what field, there are capable people.

He must meet this Lin Dajing.
