Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 164 The Achievements of Youzhou

Of course, as for Ma Zhou, Li Tai would definitely not let him manage the property.

Giving him freedom and gaining a firm foothold in the court is the most correct thing in itself.

After all, I can't put all my hopes on Fang Xuanling's integrity.

With Ma Zhou present, after he did something good in the local area, he was likely to be dispatched back to the court.

After all, it is not easy to stuff people into the imperial court, and Ma Zhou was fed by his meritorious service all the way.

Although after the Zhengguo Canal area is completed, Ma Zhou will be asked to go to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to implement the water transportation plan.

But no matter what, with this heavy contribution, it is almost a matter of course for Ma Zhou to enter the court, especially as a practical official.

And when Ma Zhou returned to the court, it was almost time for him to go back.

Li Tai took a deep breath, although in terms of planning, he hoped to use all his time.

But in the end, whether he will follow his own plan or not, he can only do his best and obey the destiny.

In contrast, Li Tai really wanted to know how the Forage Project was doing after a year of cultivation.

After all, with his own performance, Li Tai has already felt the constraints of the environment on him. Let alone industry, in fact, even in agriculture, he still has a long way to go if he wants to develop to a certain level.

To be honest, I really want to drop a system from the sky, as long as I sign in, I will send potatoes, corn, and even talents.

But it is a pity that there will be everything in the dream, but there is nothing in reality.

Potatoes and corn are still in some corner of America. Even in the seventh century, Li Tai didn't know if these things had been domesticated.

After all, even if you eat melons by yourself, the watermelons you eat are basically white flesh, supplemented by red flesh, so the agricultural college has to increase investment and research.

If potatoes and corn have not been domesticated, I am afraid that if I put these two things in front of me, I may not recognize them.

Therefore, rather than praying for the appearance of potatoes and corn, it is better to study pasture grass, which is much more realistic.

Li Tai's thoughts drifted towards Youzhou, and the Youzhou area was also covered with snowflakes.

"In winter, it's really comfortable to be around the heated kang!" Li Chunfeng sat on the heated kang without grace, and said to everyone lying on the heated kang, "Everyone has worked hard this year, Chunfeng thank you again."

"The mountain leader is polite." At this time, a young man who looked no older than Li Chunfeng answered Li Chunfeng with his hands clasped.

But everyone sitting around the stove also responded one after another, including Wang Xuance and Liu Rengui.

"Zigou, let's summarize the situation in the school first." Li Chunfeng said to Lu Chengji.

"The Youzhou Branch of the Agricultural University has a total of 630 students, and the first batch of 130 people will be able to complete all the courses and graduate next year." Lu Chengji said, "However, more than 30 of them have been assigned by General Li. Come down, hoping to supplement the strength of the Navy, because of our cooperative relationship with the Navy, we cannot refuse this request."

When Lu Chengji said this, he couldn't help looking at Li Chunfeng.

To be honest, he really didn't understand that the talents cultivated by his school were all for farming, but they were taken in by Li Dejian in a blink of an eye.

However, Li Chunfeng understood that at least 30 of these [-] people were trained by themselves to measure wind speed, identify oceans, and even draw maps, as well as other positions that required mathematical knowledge.

Although there is no profession of navigator in this era, in fact, these people trained by Li Chunfeng are basically used by Li Dejian as navigators, so this status can be imagined.

In addition, some people have exceptionally good physique and are used by Li Dejian as low-level military officers.

To be honest, Li Dejian originally wanted to catch all the people trained by Li Chunfeng's school.

After all, Li Dejian has also discovered that talents from this basic school seem to be particularly useful in this navy.

But Li Chunfeng said that if you dare to exceed one-third, I will break up with you!
Li Dejian had no choice, after all, Li Dejian understood that he was full again and again, so he didn't reach out again.

After all, the goal of the naval army was to deal with Goguryeo, but it has to be said that as long as the Tang Dynasty did not intend to send troops to Goguryeo, the navy could only fight against the surrounding pirates.

However, although pirates are not rampant in this era, the Bohai Sea is really not spacious, so there are still some smuggling ships between Goguryeo and Datang.

And Li Dejian also wiped out these smuggling ships one by one with the intention of fighting teeth.

After all, all the ships that hang out in the Bohai Sea without the consent of the navy are all regarded as pirates, and there is basically no big mistake.

Although Li Dejian's behavior is a little bit offending, but his father is Li Jing, and he himself needs military training. Even if someone complains to the court, this matter will be settled. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as The dragon has crossed the river.

Moreover, this dragon is so overbearing that sometimes the Lu family, which has five families and seven families like the Lu family, has to bow its head.

There is no way, Lu Chengji, Fan Yang, Lu family, but Li Dejian is the same, Zhaojun Li family, who is inferior to whom!

Moreover, the resources of the Lu family are mainly placed on Lu Chengqing, who has entered the middle level of the imperial court and is constantly climbing up. This makes Lu Chengji face Li Dejian, who pours the resources of the Li family in Zhaojun, even on Fan Yang's three-acre land. to what cheap.

After all, his father had just exterminated the Eastern Turks, and Li Dejian's right to speak among the foreign races directly surpassed that of the Fan Yang Lu family who had worked in Youzhou for a hundred years. This made Lu Chengji really have no choice but to bow his head to reality.

"It's nothing." Li Chunfeng glanced at Lu Chengji, and said comfortingly, "The Bohai Sea Division has a close relationship with our school. At least the Bohai Sea Division is strong, and our Youzhou School will benefit the most."

However, Li Chunfeng said so, but he couldn't help thinking that the biggest gain of the entire Youzhou Academy was the harvest of fishing with the Bohai Sea Division.

It is precisely because of this receipt that Youzhou Academy was truly established.

To be honest, Li Chunfeng didn't understand. He didn't feel much when he was in Gaoling Academy, but he really opened an academy by himself, and found out that running an academy is really expensive!

The food and clothing of the students, the salary of the teachers, especially the particularity of the agricultural college, even if the purchase is wasteland that needs to be reclaimed by the students, at least the students should have a place to farm, not to mention all kinds of land. The input of skilled craftsmen.

Just like that, running a school is really costly. If Li Tai hadn’t had the foresight to cooperate with the Bohai Marine Division, it can be said that the school might not be the same. The budget was spent before half of the business.

Therefore, Li Chunfeng resolutely found Lu Chengji as the deputy of the academy. With the brand of Fan Yang Lu's, at least in the Youzhou area, big and small families would give face, and Lu Chengji was responsible for many matters that needed to be wrangled.

This feeling seems to be that when a foreign company develops locally, it is actually very easy to conflict with local companies.

At this time, a respectable local person was needed to come out to talk about sympathy and make peace, and Lu Chengji's role was probably like this. He was the lubricant between the Youzhou branch school and the local family.

Li Chunfeng nodded, turned his gaze to Wang Xuance, and said, "How about the grass seed plan, have you selected a suitable grass seed?"

"It's going well. We have selected one or two of the pastures from other races, including alfalfa, goose grass, and purple root vegetables."

Wang Xuance said, "Among them, the alfalfa was introduced into our country with the flow of Han blood and BMW because it was in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the cultivation method of this kind of pasture is the most perfect. Some horse craftsmen who are good at raising horses have information on planting alfalfa in their hands.

I have gathered that in the early stage we can focus on planting alfalfa as the main pasture crop. "

"Early stage?" Li Chunfeng asked curiously after hearing Wang Xuance's words, "Is there a better crop?"

"En!" Wang Xuance nodded and said, "The other thing is purple root vegetables.

This is the best grass seed sent by the East Turkic people, and it is quite excellent in terms of cold resistance and drought resistance.

This thing does not eat the land, and it can grow in sunny or shady places. Basically, as long as the land is moist enough and the land with good drainage is enough.

Moreover, there are very few other weeds growing around it. Once planted, it can be harvested multiple times. Once planted, it can be enjoyed for many years. It is quite trouble-free to use as silage fodder. "

To be honest, if purple root vegetable is in modern times, it has another name, that is Russian fodder vegetable, or Russian food for short.

The birthplace of this thing is the Caucasus Mountains and Siberia, and the Turks actually didn't pay much attention to this kind of pasture, but it really didn't come out until after the Industrial Revolution, and even after the industrialization of animal husbandry.

As for the value of such things as purple root vegetables, it is almost the pasture with the highest economic value.

Calculated on the basis of planting one mu of Russian vegetables, it only needs to be introduced and cultivated in the first year, and the annual reinvestment thereafter is very little.

One mu of land can meet the feed needs of 7 cows, 45 sheep, 27 pigs and 110 geese.

For feeding cows, it can produce 8% to 12% more milk.Calculated according to the nutritional value, the protein content of one mu of Russian vegetable is equal to that of 20 mu of corn, which shows its economic value.

"That being the case, why didn't this crop be promoted first?" Li Chunfeng couldn't help asking when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"Because we haven't cultivated this kind of crop much in China, unlike alfalfa, we have cultivated it quite well."

Wang Xuance said seriously, "But we don't have mature cultivation techniques for this kind of purple root vegetable, so we need to get used to it slowly.

Since the pasture plan is to integrate the nomads in the north into China, it should not be taken lightly.

After all, it is not easy to establish a reputation, but if something goes wrong and you want to destroy it, it is too easy! "

"What you said is exactly!" Hearing the calm attitude of Wang Xuance's words, Li Chunfeng nodded in approval and said,

"Promote alfalfa first. Find some places to test this purple root vegetable first. By the way, didn't you say that there is one, and talk about it?"

"The other kind of goose view grass is not as effective as the other two.

However, Goose View Grass can grow in mountains, hills or other harsh environments, which is a supplement to the two.

In terms of efficacy, alfalfa and purple root vegetables are better. "Wang Xuance explained.

"Very good. In this case, the Grass Project has real grass seeds. The work of our agricultural college has been completed, and the next step is to wait for the imperial court to send people to promote these grass seeds!" Li Chunfeng nodded in satisfaction.

But Li Chunfeng continued, "But it's not enough, we can't relax anymore, and continue to look for a more suitable pasture.

If there is no new planting, then find a way to continuously cultivate better pasture varieties through hybridization. "

"No!" Wang Xuance finally agreed after hearing Li Chunfeng's words.

After all, he has been in the agricultural school for two years. Wang Xuance has also been exposed to the pea experiment, and he also knows how to continuously strengthen the performance of planting through experiments, so as to grow better grass.

At this time, Li Chunfeng turned his attention to Liu Rengui, and Liu Rengui said openly:
"I stayed on the fishing boat of the Bohai Sea Division for a whole year, and after blowing with the sea boat for a year, I finally found edible crops.

One is seaweed, and the other is kelp, but it may take a while to breed them.

At most, I will record the environment in which they live, but if you want to cultivate them on a large scale, you need to hand them over to an agricultural school! "

Li Chunfeng nodded, but didn't say much. After all, Liu Rengui had been wandering on the boat for a year, eating all kinds of things with the old fishermen, and only then did he find two kinds of edible plants in the sea.

It is unrealistic to expect Liu Rengui to plant.

And Li Chunfeng also found out that since Liu Rengui got on Li Dejian's boat, he seemed to have no desire to get off.

Therefore, instead of forcing Liu Rengui to do things he doesn't want to do, it is better to let Liu Rengui record his discoveries.

As for how to train in the future, there are so many people in agricultural colleges, as long as they have a direction, they can be trained slowly.

To be honest, since I started farming, it seems that those things that take many years to produce results seem to be acceptable to those who come from agricultural colleges.

That attitude of eagerness for quick success and instant benefit cannot be said to be non-existent, but all students who have been serious about farming understand that if you want to get a harvest, you must cultivate for a year, and if you want to have better seeds, you must cultivate for many years. Accumulation of results.

All in all, for students from agricultural colleges, patience is extraordinarily good!
Therefore, Li Chunfeng just arranged tasks according to the situation. As for when the results will be produced, at least Li Chunfeng is not in a hurry.
