Datang Nongwang

Chapter 120 Raising Seedlings
When the queen gave birth to a daughter, Li Chongyuan naturally wanted to give gifts.

However, Li Chongyuan did not leave Lizhuang and return to Chang'an just because the queen gave birth to a daughter.

However, it also passed the face of the old lady and sent some gifts.

As for what to give, it is up to the old lady to decide.

Regarding the question of whether the queen will die in two years, after thinking about it all night, Li Chongyuan acted as if he didn't care about anything.

Reason.

I am not a doctor, if I want to save people, I have to have that medical skill.

Early in the morning, Li Chongyuan followed Dadu and walked towards the ditch with a hoe.

When he came to the side of the canal, he was puzzled and looked at Li Chongyuan suspiciously and asked, "Little Lang, what are we going to do today?"

"Cultivate seedlings and divide seedlings." Li Chongyuan looked at the well-grown taro seedlings, secretly pleased.

As for the matter of raising and dividing seedlings, it is simple to say, but it is definitely not that simple to do.

Taro planted earlier.

Each one will grow some small fork seedlings.

If you don't pick out some, or don't break some, then the main taro will definitely grow a lot of small taro. At that time, the weight, size, and size of the main taro will definitely be much smaller.

After all, nutrition has been shared a lot, and it would be strange to grow up.

Because Li Chongyuan did not breed in the early stage, he could only adopt the method of raising seedlings and dividing seedlings.

Moreover, in this era, there are no industrial fertilizers such as phosphate fertilizers.

If you want to ensure the growth of taro, you can only think of other ways.

When Dadu heard about Li Chongyuan, he was even more puzzled.

However, as soon as Li Chongyuan started to explain and demonstrate at the same time, Dadu knew what raising seedlings is, and what is dividing seedlings.

When Li Chongyuan started to do farm work, compared to Dadu, it was extremely poor.

Moreover, whenever Li Chongyuan divided the seedlings, a lot of mucus would flow out from the broken taro leaves, which immediately made Li Chongyuan's hands so itchy that he wanted to scratch his heart and liver.

Li Chongyuan's hands were extremely itchy, and he couldn't take it anymore, he dropped the things in his hands, and said bitterly: "I'm not doing it, please come and do it!"

The big belly on one side is like an ordinary person, as if it has not been attacked by the mucus, which makes Li Chongyuan more and more annoyed the more he looks at it.

This makes people more popular than others.

Li Chongyuan actually knew it too.

Not everyone is itchy for taro.

And this big belly is one of the people who don't itch.

"Xiao Langjun, go and hire someone, I'll do it first." Dadu smiled, watching his own Xiaolang lose his temper.

Without further ado, Li Chongyuan trotted back to Li Zhuang, "Qiao Su, go to the Zhuangzi and invite five people to help me grow seedlings in the taro field. The price is still ten yuan, but five people are needed."

After hearing this, Qiao Su just shook his head, leaning on a cane, went to Zhuangzi to call someone.

Josu belongs to that kind of peaceful person.

In other words, Qiao Su is the kind of person who tends to be stable, he doesn't like to make troubles, and he doesn't make troubles.

I don't like people who spend money at will.

But as soon as Li Chongyuan arrived in Lizhuang, the patterns of the two formed countless intersections.

Whenever Li Chongyuan wanted to do something, Qiao Su could only hold back his thoughts, and would chat with his sister when he had time.

Of course, he will also write to Mrs. Chang'an to report some news about Li Chongyuan.

However, recently, the old lady has always said that as long as there is no trouble, you don't need to care too much, which makes Qiao Su feel helpless.

Just like this wasteland, there are also planted yams and so on.

The money spent is like flowing water.

As Li Zhuang's steward, as soon as the money was transferred to his account, he would feel distressed for a long time.

Even worse than his brother-in-law Qi Huo.

Fortunately, the wasteland has been reclaimed, and the yam planting has also been completed.

Originally, according to the normal situation, there is no need to spend too much money.

But today, Li Chongyuan asked Qiao Su to ask someone to get some taro.

Although it is only a few tens of pennies, once the money is opened, it will inevitably increase in the future, which is why Qiao Su shook his head.

After Qiao Su called five people to come, Li Chongyuan walked forward while scratching his arms, and said from time to time: "When we reach the canal in a while, you guys who raise and divide the seedlings have to listen to me, In addition, once the water on the taro sticks to your hands, it will itch, just like me, but you don't have to worry too much, as long as it itches for an hour, it will basically stop itching..."

Seeing Li Chongyuan scratching his arms, the five women thought that Li Chongyuan had some kind of illness.

When I learned that it was caused by the mucus of taro, I didn't take it to heart.

For them, it doesn't matter at all whether it's itchy or not.

The important thing is to make money.

Li Zhuang's family also earned a lot of copper coins for land reclamation and planting.

Li Chongyuan never owed a penny.

Moreover, because Li Chongyuan gave back to their relatives, it also brought them a lot of opportunities to make money.

It's like the old Song of Wangzhuang, who is a relative of a certain family in Lizhuang.

Pro help pro.

In this day and age, that's basically the case.

Moreover, the current kinship is still very important.

Unlike in later generations, the concept of relatives is so weak that it is about to disappear.

Even between brothers and sisters, after some small misunderstandings, the concept of family affection will gradually fade away.

"Xiao Langjun, we are not afraid of itches. Xiao Langjun, we will work as you want us to do. We are absolutely unambiguous." A woman immediately responded to Li Chongyuan's call.

There are not many varieties of taro.

But the work of raising seedlings and dividing them really requires people with experience in farming.

And when the five women listened to Li Chongyuan's words, they began to raise and divide the seedlings according to the requirements.

When more and more seedlings come out.

Li Chongyuan fiddled with the divided taro seedlings with a branch, thinking that these could be planted with another kind.

Immediately, without saying a word, Li Chongyuan shouted to several people: "After you finish raising and dividing the seedlings, plant them again in the depression in front."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao Lang." The five women agreed with a smile.

As for the big belly.

I also got Li Chongyuan's instructions and went to the front depression to reclaim it.

Big belly and strong strength, compared to those women, one is worth five.

More people work faster.

Less than two quarters of an hour.

This seedling division has already been done.

The taro seedlings that were separated were also planted in the low-lying areas reclaimed by Dadu.

Another two quarters of an hour passed.

All work is over.

Li Chongyuan looked at his taro world, scratched his arms, and looked at the five women who were also scratching their arms like him, and felt that they were really like monkeys and said with a smile: "Well, I'm sorry everyone, this taro The mucus is like this, it will stop itching after an hour, look at me, it will probably stop itching in another quarter of an hour or two."

"It's okay, Mr. Xiao Lang." Although the arms of the five women were itchy, they had already been reminded before they came.

As northerners, they have never felt this kind of itch.

But no matter how itchy, the work is done, and as long as the money is in hand, they feel that the itching will not be in vain.

"Well, you can go back to Qiao Su to settle the wages later." Li Chongyuan said with a smile.
