The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

The soil in the paddy field was soft, and the little prince didn't suffer any damage except his self-esteem.

As a man who can be called an emperor through the ages, Liu Zhi has a bit of reluctance to admit defeat in his nature.

He rejected the farmer who wanted to help him, pulled himself out of the farmland with his hands and feet, and then ran back to Xia Anran with the four ducklings that were lightly launched into the water.

According to the previous three chapters of the agreement, Xia Anran told the child before that if he gets wet, no matter what he is doing, he must immediately find him to change clothes, otherwise there will be no future.

Even if the main purpose of his coming here - the hot spring Zhuangzi is built, there will be no future!

Play must be premised on health.

Liu Xiaozhu is a good boy who keeps his promises.

After being wiped dry, the good boy changed into a bunt that was convenient for movement, regained his strength, and rushed into the duck pile again.

Xia Anran didn't bother with him. Three-year-old Douding was the age that even cats and dogs would hate. He didn't stop all day long. If he followed him, he might be exhausted.

He asked Liu Che's subordinates to keep an eye on the child and his duckling, so that they wouldn't be really tiring.Children have weak immune system, if they are too tired, they will get sick easily, and if they are too excited during the day, they may wet the bed even if they are not sick... Reminiscent of his younger brother who used to hate ducklings for bed-wetting, Xia Anran thinks that this should be avoided, otherwise it will be a little manly Self-esteem is afraid to be broken.

After freeing his younger brother, Xia Anran went to the nearby rice field to observe the situation.

This paddy field is called Zhongshan State Imperial Experimental Field No. [-]. From the previous fire manure, Quyuan plow to the later Yangma, all experimental data have been collected here.

Therefore, this field is many steps ahead of the entire Zhongshan country in the application of agricultural technology. It can be said that the output of this land is the future output of Zhongshan country.

The base fertilizer in winter, the deep plowing and seed selection in spring, and the exposure of the land before transplanting seedlings, Xia Anran did every step according to the information he obtained from the agricultural channel and the daily scattered information, and he even ordered the depth of the seedlings into the soil.

What subverted the experience of the farmers was that after the seedlings were put into the ground, the little king asked them to flood them with water, so they were not afraid that the seedlings would drown.

At that time, everyone thought that His Highness came here to move the fish fry, but they didn't expect that the fish fry entered the pond a few days later, and let the water be released again.

Now everyone is afraid that the fish will die, so they don't let them feed more. What if the fish is so hungry that it wants to eat rice roots?

Fortunately, both of them survived, and now they have to release ducks again.

This, this is not nonsense!

Even the old farmer said that the fields that have never been taken care of so carefully before, how can the owner be so careless and not afraid of feeling sorry for him?

After all, the farmers are most interested in this piece of land. These people have been serving the fields all their lives, but they can't bear to see people spoiling things. They must carry out His Highness's orders, and they are all remembered.However, weeding and catching insects are still possible on weekdays.

One can be redeemed.

However, none of this happened.

I saw worms growing yesterday, but today they disappeared when I wanted to catch them. Yesterday, I saw weeds growing in the soil, and today I wanted to pull them out, but I found that they were dying and floating on the water.

At first everyone thought that others had done the work, but when we chatted, we realized that no one had done it.

Who is that?

Could it be that he is in charge?Everyone felt a little unbelievable when they thought that the extremely serious manager would go to catch bugs and weeds after everyone left work.

The revelation of the truth came unexpectedly.

It's fish.

Fish fry that hide timidly while they tend the fields.

In order to prevent the eutrophication of the water body and the growth of algae, although Xia Anran ordered people to feed fish food when the rice field ecology had not yet been established, these fish were hungry and full for a long time, so they would not dig three feet into the ground I have to find something to eat.

The grass seeds and insect eggs left in the soil quickly entered their stomachs. Even if some weeds germinated at night while the fish were resting, they would not be able to withstand the raking twice.

The weeds that were not deeply rooted were easily dug out of the mud by the fish's tail, and they could only float helplessly in the water, and soon withered in the sun.

With such a foraging method, not to mention insects that grow in the water, even small flying insects that occasionally pass by drinking water can be swallowed by this group of hungry fish.

Fish tails can dig up weeds, but they can't move the healthy seedlings that have turned green. They can only be unwilling to be the guardians of the rice fields, and they have to fertilize the rice by the way.

This really subverted the understanding ability of farmers.

He really wants the horse to run, but doesn't feed the horse. He is undoubtedly a black-hearted capitalist.

Xia Anran's hearing is so good, he has already heard what these people are talking about!The little king stood at the top of the field and pretended not to know anything, but from the way his ears kept catching the sound, it could be seen that he was very complacent.

Although he was suspected of picking up his teeth, he also worked very hard to recall the amount of feeding and feeding. At the beginning, he was not less frightened, because he was afraid that these wild fish fry would dig out the rice. affect production.

Fortunately, it turned out beautifully.

In fact, it's not that they don't keep them full all the time.

Xia Anran retorted seriously in her heart, and when the rice plants bloomed, the fish would be full.

The long-hungry rice field fish is the best season of the year to eat and drink, and when the fat is accumulated and the body is golden and ready for winter... that is the best time to eat!

As the saying goes, the survival of the fittest and the leftovers are eaten, there is no problem at all for him to operate like this!

This experimental field has about three acres of good field, five small acres of medium-sized fields, and eight small acres of low-grade fields.These low-grade fields were also high-grade fields many years ago, but the farmers at that time were too greedy and used up the land.

Regardless of the results of the farmers, according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, they will naturally not get good results, but no matter how they are treated, they will be treated as waste as far as the land is concerned.

Before Xia Anran came, the treatment of this kind of degraded land was to let it dry, not plant anything, and let it be covered with weeds.After more than ten years of cultivation, it will be served little by little like a wasteland. According to experience, it should also become a medium-sized field after careful consideration.

But now this field is used by Xia Anran to grow soybeans.

The legume plant provides room for its best friend, soybean rhizobia, a fungus that grabs nitrogen from the air and fixes it around itself.

Before planting beans in modern agriculture, farmers sprinkle the bacteria into the soil and create an opportunity for the rhizobia to invade the interior of the soybeans.

The two are in a symbiotic relationship. The rhizobia need the organic nutrients and living environment provided by the soybean root system, and the soybean needs the nitrogen fertilizer that can be directly absorbed and utilized after being digested and absorbed by the rhizobia.

At the same time, rhizobium itself can also expel other fungi in the soil to harm soybeans, which is a very good agricultural fungus.

Therefore, the fields where soybeans have been planted are always particularly fertile, and planting other plants will get twice the result with half the effort.

But this kind of bacteria is definitely not available today, and it can only be cultivated by itself.Fortunately, the soil is teeming with nitrogen-fixing bacteria of all kinds, and they only need one chance.

Xia Anran pays more attention to these middle and low-grade fields that are depleted of fertility due to over-cutting than good fields.The conditions of the good fields are basically the same, but the inferior fields have their own reasons.

Medium-sized fields are easy to manage, you just need to turn up the lower soil, or apply a certain amount of organic fertilizer to let it slow down.

But some low-level fields...the surface soil has almost no nutrients at all, and has basically been deserted, and the middle layer that the plowshare can reach is also very serious in nutrient loss, and if you want to turn the lower layer up again, in terms of the current situation. It is said that the manpower consumption is too large.

In modern times, only tractors and even large excavators are used to rearrange the fields.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with using time to govern this.

The wind brings self-seeding plants, which are not picky about the soil, and when they take root in the wasteland, they do their best to pump up the nutrients from the lower soil layer and retain every chemical element that falls on the soil surface with rainfall.

Then from spring to winter, these annual plants withered here, and were pressed into the land by the snow, slowly integrated with it, and then became the nourishment of another small life.

This cycle is repeated, and the lost fertility of the soil will gradually recover.

But this process is too long, Xia Anran intends to artificially speed up the speed.

The field is now heavily treated with vermicompost.

Earthworms are called the most valuable animals in the world by Darwin, and they are called earthworms in China.

The divine dragon controls the sky, carrying clouds and rain; the earth dragon connects the earth, and enriches all things.

This is because no matter what they eat, poisonous or not, rotting or fresh, the feces that pass through their bodies are non-toxic.

They are well-deserved "filters".

What's even more rare is that the nutrients will be rearranged in their bodies, and when they are excreted, they are all organic fertilizers that can be directly absorbed by plants.

Known as the king of organic fertilizers in the fertilizer industry is vermicompost.

It has higher and milder nutrients than any organic fertilizer in the world. As long as it is not used in large quantities, it is basically not decomposed and there is no risk of burning the seedlings. Naturally, there is no need to worry about applying too much to hurt the seedlings, just take it directly It's okay to plant flowers.

In fact, the treatment of saline-alkali land in many areas of our country starts with spreading vermicompost.

Xia Anran started raising earthworms initially to solve the increasingly protruding cow dung problem in Zhongshan.

The small batch of cow dung is easy to deal with, and it is not a big problem to dig a hole and bury it directly. However, he himself brought in more than 30 cows for the test of wearing a cow nose ring, and built a cowshed for this purpose.

Cow dung is an excellent organic fertilizer, but at the same time, its decomposing process is really unacceptable to ordinary people.

Originally, he planned to collect cow dung to make organic fertilizer, but several workers proposed to "resign" one after another, with very good reasons-the wife would not be allowed to enter the house for doing this.

He can't just hire a group of bachelors to do this, can he?If a bachelor doesn't have a wife, he still has a family. Isn't this endless.Finally, he calculated the potential reserves of organic fertilizer in Zhongshan, and felt that the burden of cesspit in each village is already heavy enough, so it is better not to increase their additional pressure.

It happened to be rainy in spring at that time, and when he was wandering around with a wax paper umbrella, he saw earthworms crawling out all over the ground, and he thought of earthworm composting on a whim.

It can not only solve the excess cow dung, but also provide rations for fish and ducks that have not arrived at that time.In addition, earthworms are also excellent livestock food after being dried and ground.

In the present age when there is no alfalfa grass, it can be added to the feed when the females are pregnant, and the babies born are white and fat.

But now, the rewards of all the previous efforts are: the bean sprouts planted on this low-grade and middle-grade field are no less than the high-grade field next to it.

The harvest is still unknown, but the performance is still very good for the start.

When he came back from his rounds of inspection, the Liu Xiaozhu he saw was already a little piggy who couldn't move and sit down.

Liu Zhi was sitting on the grass at this time, surrounded by many ducklings.

His own ducklings were wretchedly pushed out, and those who hadn't eaten the good stuff had the will to isolate them.

Xiao Douding was holding a small earthworm in his hand, and the ducklings were jumping and flying, trying their best to snatch their tiny tender wings that hadn't grown feathers from his hand, and they also flew up and down with his movements to make movements. All kinds of thrilling actions.

As soon as Xia Anran approached, she heard Liu Zhi shouting: "You can't eat it! You have already eaten the fifth one!"

The one he blamed was a mottled duckling with taupe plumage, which stood out among a flock of bright yellow ducks.

Standing on the ground with a small gap around it, it is clearly a duck without friends.

At this time, it was blinking its black peas and looking seriously at Xiao Douding, and its little wings were still fluttering, obviously having a different opinion.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi stood up and criticized: "Brother said, ducklings won't feel full. He stipulated that a duck can only eat five worms, so you can't eat them."

"Choo Choo Choo!"

"no!"

"Chirp—"

At the stall where a large and a small were obviously about to start arguing about this issue, Xia Anran arrived in time.After he called out, Liu Zhi moved his short legs and struggled to escape from the crowd of ducks.Seeing that he was about to bring the ducks to her side, Xia Anran quickly motioned to the waiting waiter to take over the food bowl he brought to feed the ducks.

Being surrounded by ducks is not a good experience. For details, please refer to the clothes that Liu Zhi will change again.

Xiaozheng criticized with a bitter face: "These ducklings are really unhygienic! It's better for our family."

In fact, our family does not pay attention to hygiene, but they have special equipment and they are still players of five baht coins.

Xia Anran complained in his heart, and suddenly he noticed that the duck that had just quarreled with his brother was not attracted by the food, but followed all the way with its little webbed feet.Hey, is this attracted by the domineering spirit of the future Emperor Wu of Han?

Noticing his gaze, Liu Zhi looked back and said "ah": "Why did you follow me, ugly duck?"

"Ugly...?" Xia Anran blinked, and then realized that this ink-painted duck, which he thought was quite unique, was actually not very popular among Western Han people.It can be seen from the fact that Liu Zhi, the representative of Yan Kong, has no intention of including this little duck who actively approached him.

This can't be done, color control is a disease, it doesn't matter if other people die, but the emperor must be cured.

Xia Anran thought about it for a while, then pulled the young boy to sit on the couch to rest, and then told him a story with the hot and thirsty eyes of the ducks watching.

"A long time ago, there was a little duckling. It was different from other little ducklings. Its fur was very ugly, so everyone called it the ugly duckling."

"His mother raised several children, but because she ate a lot, she kept trying to find food for her. Finally, one day, her mother collapsed and her relatives came to help, but no one wanted to adopt an ugly duckling. .”

"The poor little duck was kicked out just like that. It is still a baby and can't forage. It can only hunt like other big ducks, and then make itself dirty, so it is even uglier!"

……

Xiao Douding listened carefully, turning his head to look at the ugly duck from time to time, his eyes became more and more sympathetic.

Especially when he noticed that the ugly duckling deliberately kept a distance from them, he immediately imagined that it was because the ugly duckling (—yes, he had already planned to name this duck!) was being bullied by other ducks Many times, so I dare not get close to others easily.

What a pity!

Xia Anran noticed his younger brother's small movements, but he deliberately didn't point them out, and continued the story of "The Ugly Duckling" that every modern child has heard.When talking about the first time the ugly duckling saw a swan flying past, Liu Zhi tilted his head and asked, "What is a swan?"

"It's swans, because they look like geese, but they can fly in the sky, so they are called swans." Xia Anran explained with confidence, without any sense of guilty conscience.

Then, after hearing a series of stories about the ugly duckling being bullied by various small animals, Liu Zhi clenched his fists, with an expression of "How can the ugly duckling be so weak!", even looking at the gray duck. Hate iron but not steel.

When the story told that the ugly duckling was actually a swan, and finally returned to its family, was loved by the elders, and had its own little partner, Liu Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.That empathetic appearance made his brother's bad taste sprout.

Xia Anran rolled her eyes, and added a paragraph about the sufferings the little duck suffered in the past, which made it know more about the settings than other little swans who grew up beside their mothers.

After he said that the little swan turned the tide and organized the swan family to defeat the golden eagle family who came to grab the territory, and finally became an excellent leader of the swan family, Liu Zhi clenched his fists and blushed with excitement.

He suddenly stood up, took two quick steps, picked up the gray-feathered duck and said to Xia Anran: "Brother, will the ugly duckling be so powerful in the future?"

"It will turn into a swan too, won't it?"

"Can you still defeat the golden eagle?"

The three questions in a row made Xia Anran feel that she was tortured by her soul.

He tried his best to explain to his younger brother that the story just now was a fairy tale, not a documentary literature: "Hey, not all the ugly ducklings in the story will turn into swans. Although the ugly duckling in the story is rejected, it has been working hard to live, and it does not give up on itself. That’s why it succeeded in the end.”

"This story tells us that we can't judge people by their cover, even birds..."

The little king, who was working hard to make chicken soup, finally met his younger brother's bright eyes that seemed to be filled with a big sun, "Brother, can I raise another ugly duckling?"

"Uh……"

"Brother!"

"...if you can take care of it yourself..."

"I will work hard!"

Lost again.

Xia Anran sat back on the couch dejectedly, his eyes drifted to the "ugly duckling" who was a little too quiet at the moment, and he began to seriously think whether this duck should be a "swan" or not?

It seems that the swan's egg-laying period is now, hurry up and steal a few eggs and prepare to hatch them for replacement, I don't know if it will be too late...

No, Xia Anran, you can't spoil children too much.

Every child has experienced the pain when a fairy tale is broken, and that is the sign of growth!

But, pig, my brother, he's only three years old!

He is still a baby!

Xia Anran tried hard to convince herself.

In the end, Xia Anran, who didn't know how to educate her children, planned to write a letter and leave this matter to her father to worry about.The baby belongs to his father, but not to him, so he shouldn't bear this kind of burden.

Leaving aside what Liu Qi thought when he was about to be tortured by the soul of his youngest son in the future, now Xia Anran proposed that he should raise the "ugly duckling" in order to prepare for the future.

The ducks are raised with him, so there is a reason not to be close to Liu Zhi at that time.It would be best if Liu Xiaozhu forgot, but if he didn't forget, it would be very convenient to change him subtly.

Liu Zhi accepted his brother's suggestion, and was very happy all afternoon because his brother praised him for raising the ducklings well.

Xia Anran picked up the duck, and the little duck seemed to feel that he had malicious intentions and was extraordinarily quiet, but when Xia Anran wanted to put a diaper on it, the gray-feathered duck launched a desperate resistance.

This kind of behavior of jumping off his palm and wanting to kill the net shocked the young boys, in the end Xia Anran could only take a basket and put it in it and take it back.

Fortunately, this duck also showed its unusual side, it is a very clean little duck, which Xia Anran only discovered later.

After collecting a duckling as a trophy, Liu Zhi was entrusted with an important task.

With a sullen face, Xiao Douding opened the gate of the fence that surrounded the ducklings very solemnly.Then, after the energetic young man had recuperated, he went out in person again. He carried forward the revolutionary spirit of getting up from wherever he fell, and took four ducklings to drive away the ducklings.

After arriving in Lunu, the big ducks were all trimmed to ensure that they could not fly far, but the ducks could still fly with flapping.When Liu Zhi chased after him, the big and small ones rushed out together, which was quite spectacular.

While the brothers were having fun, a convoy arrived in Lunu County.

The leader is Yuan An.

Yuan An clearly should stay at home leisurely, so why did he suddenly come to Zhongshan?

Those who don't know have speculated, but those who know are extremely calm.

Although Zhidu and Yuan Ang, the Prime Minister of Zhongshan Kingdom, had no relationship with each other before, and one of them was Dharma and the other was Confucianism, although they were not ideological enemies, they were not very harmonious.

In particular, Chao Cuo, whom Zhi admired, died at the hands of Yuan An. Although he knew that this was not Yuan An's fault, he was unavoidably unhappy, and the atmosphere became very stalemate.

After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Yuan An, who had made great contributions, was sent to the state of Chu as the prime minister, but because the king of Chu Liu Li was unwilling to listen to his advice, he took a long sick leave.

Although he had no talent, Emperor Jing often asked him for advice because he recognized his talent very much.

This is a person who is not in the court, but his legend is everywhere in the court.

The author has something to say:

Earthworms are earth dragons, and some people say that it is because Zhu Yuanzhang's story is actually a folk tale, and the earth dragon has been said for a long time.

Using vermicompost in small batches does not require fermentation, but large batches are still required! ! !

It doesn't matter if you sprinkle a layer, but it doesn't work if you hang it four or five centimeters.

By the way, the author has done experiments. There is a store in TB that sells vermicompost and sells cow dung part-time. The author bought it and planted flowers. In my personal opinion, vermicompost is better than cow dung.

Of course, both of these are actually tasteless!The organic fertilizer has no smell if you don't get close to it. If there is a smell, it must be not decomposed.

Vermicompost can treat mildly saline-alkali land, especially the type caused by soaking water, but not the type of groundwater. Agronomy really has to be adapted to local conditions, and a set of experience cannot be used in all places.

The original story of "The Ugly Duckling" is very, very pitiful, and Disney has already weakened the version!

Uh...you guessed it right.
