What kind of farming does the Prince Regent know?

After the lunch break, Yan Yunhe regained his energy, and immediately went to see the wheat seeds exchanged from the seed shop. At this time, it had been a month since the wheat seeds were planted.

The growth cycle of spring wheat is more than 90 days, and nearly one third of the time has passed since it was planted. At this time, the spring wheat will soon enter the three-leaf stage, which is the critical period when water and fertilizer are needed. Yanyunhe squatted on the ground, carefully Looking at the condition of the wheat, fortunately, no pests and diseases occurred in these wheats.

Yan Yunhe put on a bunt, and squatting on the ground at this time did not look like a prince at all. Seeing Yan Yunhe's appearance, Wang Xing naturally did not dare to stand leisurely, and also squatted behind him, so the rest of the people followed suit , followed by squatting for a while, almost kneeling on the ground.

Yan Yunhe clapped his hands after watching Mai, and turned around to talk to Wang Xing about the situation of Mai's top dressing. He saw the dozens of people squatting at a glance, and the black lines on his head almost materialized.

Quickly getting these people to stand up, Yan Yunhe asked Wang Xingdao: "Maybe you prepare some lime, black alum, bone meal, and red letter?"

Wang Xing didn't understand what he heard, "The bone powder and lime slaves know it, but the black powder and red letter slaves are ignorant."

Yan Yunhe thought that there are many prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine that can use these minerals, so he explained slightly: "Black alum is also called green alum, and red letter is the mineral used to make crane top red. Doctors use these two kinds of minerals in medicine. If you If you can’t find it, you might as well go to the pharmacy and ask.”

Wang Xing quickly responded, although he didn't know what the prince was going to do, but he just had to obey the orders, just like he didn't understand why the prince was so interested in these wheats, obviously there were more productive millet, but the prince was competing with these wheat Of course, what the nobleman likes to eat is the nobleman's freedom.

Wangzhuang also planted some wheat, but most of the tenants still planted a lot of corn. At this time, wheat was not the staple food of the common people.

Firstly, wheat is an alien species, and there is a process of domestication in the local area. The wheat in this fictional age has not been fully domesticated, so the yield is not very high, and farmers do not pay attention to it; secondly, wheat needs to be ground into flour for consumption. Abrasive tools were not widely available, so compared to Su, it was a lot of trouble.

Yan Yunhe only thought of this when he checked the grain production over the years.

The few things he reported just now are the raw materials for making quick-acting fertilizers, and the only recipe he remembers is this one. This kind of fertilizer is suitable for both base fertilizer and top dressing. It contains three elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and it uses about 25 catties per mu of land. , sprinkle it near the seedlings, and it will take effect in seven days.

The reason why he knows this formula is because he has personally experimented. In modern times, chemical fertilizers are ready-made. He also tried to use this chemical fertilizer to test the adaptability of the seeds. Unexpectedly, it can be used as an emergency at this time. up.

Lime needs to be fired, Yan Yunhe explained clearly to Wang Xing the amount of each raw material, and asked him to crush them all, and then asked him to arrange it as soon as possible, and it would be best to put it in front of him tomorrow.

Wang Xing agreed well, and on the second day, he really put a few things in front of Yan Yunhe's eyes.

Yan Yunhe looked at them one by one, nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Wang Xing: "Go and collect some human urine, mix it with these things, and then dry it."

Wang Xing never imagined that in his lifetime, he would hear the word "human urine" from the glorious prince.

Immediately, he went out with a rather dazed expression, and when he saw Yan Yunhe personally supervising the mixing of ingredients, his whole body was already numb.

Yan Yunhe knew that if he did these things by himself, the people who served him would be more fearful, so he just chose to stand by and check, at least not so shocking.

The fertilizer was quickly made. Yanyunhe didn't apply it directly to the high-quality wheat seeds, but applied some to the local wheat first, intending to observe first. It happened that these wheats were planted a few days later than the local wheat, and there were more of them Can't wait either.

After applying fertilizer, it is best to water immediately, so several tenant farmers watered the wheat fields diligently, and their wheat was selected for the experiment.

Fortunately, the regent said that if there was something wrong with the wheat, he would compensate them according to the price, otherwise, they might lose an acre of grain.

How can a prince know how to farm?Everyone thought this way, they just felt that they were playing house with the prince.

While waiting, Yanyunhe was not idle. Apart from reading the daily public opinion report, Yanyunhe spent most of the time in the fields.

He observed the soil here, wrote down every pest he saw, and thought about ways to eliminate these pests, and the girl from the Agricultural University also learned his thoughts from the daily update, so many of her recent comments are How to make soil chemical fertilizers and soil pesticides.

Yan Yunhe memorized every method that the sister from the Agricultural University said. He has discovered that the most valuable part of the Gengwen system is not the seed store, but the ability to communicate between the two worlds. is the greatest wealth.

Seven days passed, and Yan Yunhe, who visited the experimental field every day, naturally knew the remarkable effect of this fertilization, so he didn't hesitate to fertilize the hundred wheat directly.

As tenants looking after the experimental field, the changes in the wheat naturally cannot escape their eyes. The Liu Dalang family looked at the completely different growing wheat in their two acres of land, and they were all amazed.

Neighboring tenants have been observing the situation here for the past few days. Seeing that the effect of the fertilizer is so good, they are naturally not uneasy.

Liu Dalang's wife said to Liu Dalang: "Why don't we go and ask the prince to reward him with more fertilizer. I saw that there was still a lot of fertilizer left."

This was said at night when there were only the husband and wife, Liu Dalang patted the pillow and lay down and said, "Your Highness is a noble man, we are just tenants, how can we talk to His Highness? Wasn't it Wang Chengfeng who came forward last time. "

The lady of the Liu family retorted: "Although the lord looks like a fairy, he is very kind. He even smiled at me when he saw me last time. He is not as high as you said."

"You just see that the prince is good-looking. Have you talked to the prince? Do you think any of those people are afraid to speak in front of the prince? It's just that you women don't know the importance all day long." Liu Dalang's tone was quite sour. There was a supercilious look from my wife.

"Hurry up and go to sleep, you, if I say one sentence, you will have ten sentences waiting for me, I don't want to tell you anymore." The lady of the Liu family talked about going to bed, but she thought in her heart that she would go to the field tomorrow to wait for the prince. It's time to ask the prince to reward some fertilizer.

The prince is obviously very kind, and only those stinky old men think so much. She can understand that the prince cares so much about the crops, and he is a down-to-earth prince.

In the morning of the next day, Yanyunhe went to check the growth of the wheat as usual. After fertilization, it could be seen that the growth of the wheat was much better. Wang Xing on the side praised him repeatedly, and it was not an exaggeration to praise Yanyunhe as the reincarnation of Shennong.

It was at this time that Yan Yunhe saw the lady of the Liu family.

She was walking towards this side, but she had to stop after taking two steps, she looked very hesitant, Yan Yunhe waved to her, and the lady of Liu's family immediately walked towards this side, and knelt down to kowtow He shook his head and said in his mouth, "I greet you, my lord."

Just as Yan Yunhe was about to reach out his hand to support the other party, he thought of the defense of men and women in this era, so he quickly stopped his movements and said quickly: "Don't kowtow, get up quickly, I saw you wandering over there, what's the matter with you?" ?"

Although this is just an ordinary woman with the appearance of a peasant woman, the guards of the palace are still waiting for her, and surrounded her in a circle. Set a lot.

"I... the woman is that one, the one who grows the wheat." She stammered and finished the sentence, and then became more fluent, "I got some fertilizer from the prince before, and after using it, the wheat grows well. The peasant woman had never seen such a flourishing wheat.

So, can my lord give me more fertilizer, if the crops in the field use fertilizer, then this year will be a bumper harvest. "

Before Yan Yunhe could say anything, Wang Xing couldn't help scolding: "Bold woman! The prince rewarded you because of the prince's kindness. How can you take the initiative to ask for rewards? Before, you were asked to use fertilizer to pay back. Hesitating, knowing the benefits, he came to take the initiative to ask for it, really greedy!"

Lady Liu's face turned pale from Wang Xing's reprimand, she took a step back tremblingly, almost fell to the ground, she was too scared to say a word.

"Okay." Yan Yunhe stopped Wang Xing, and said to Mrs. Liu: "It's okay to want fertilizer, but you must fertilize according to my requirements, and I won't charge you money. It's just that after harvesting the crops, any For the land where fertilizers are used, I have to give me five catties of grain per mu, and I will treat the fertilizers as credit to you, and if you are willing, you can go to Wang Xing to register to receive fertilizers."

When Mrs. Liu heard that it was not free, she began to hesitate in her mind whether to use fertilizer. Although the wheat growth is gratifying now, after all, it has not been harvested yet. Who knows how effective this fertilizer will be in increasing production?Let alone five catties of grain, even if there was an extra catty of grain, she would feel very distressed.

"Qingming breaks the snow, grain rain breaks the frost", the millet is planted after the frost breaks, and the harvest is about 130 days after spring sowing.

Today's millet has entered the jointing stage, which is the time when "eating and drinking" is needed. This is also the reason why Mrs. Liu's family came to ask for fertilizer.

Yan Yunhe doesn't care about the five catties of grain, but he can't just give it away for free, because most people don't cherish free things, and now the output of fertilizer is limited, if farmers receive fertilizer and use it indiscriminately, then caused waste.

So he offered to exchange five catties of grain. Seeing that Mrs. Liu was undecided, he said, "You can tell everyone about this. You can decide for yourself whether you want fertilizer or not."

Anyway, as long as the effect is seen after using it this year, more people will want it in the future.

The lady of the Liu family said she would go back and discuss it with her family members before she left, but Wang Xing stopped talking at the side.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate in front of Gu." Yan Yunhe caught a small bug in the ground and frowned when he saw it.It was only when facing these servants of the palace that he could remember to call himself "solitary".

Wang Xing said: "My lord, this fertilizer is so easy to use and easy to make, why don't we make it and sell it to others, it's a big farming matter, there must be many people willing to buy it."

"Well, what you said makes sense, I will think about it carefully." Yan Yunhe didn't refuse, nor did he immediately agree. The sister from the Agricultural University gave him several formulas, and he wanted to choose the most suitable one for this era.

Even though modern people always say that chemical fertilizers and pesticides pollute the environment, if there is no chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it would be difficult for the existing arable land to feed billions of people. No one can deny the role of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and Yanyunhe is especially aware of this.
