Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 40 Appreciation
Jing Yi pulled Wang Dalin aside and said, "Uncle Wang, I am a medical student. This honor is of no use to me, but it is of great benefit to your family."

Of course Wang Dalin knew this, for a carpenter, it is such a great honor to be rewarded by the court, "It's just Mr. Chu, this should be your credit."

Jing Yi said: "Uncle Wang, you have made a lot of contributions here, so don't refuse. This will also benefit your descendants."

Wang Dalin was very moved when he saw that Mr. Chu was determined to give him the credit, "Then I will thank Mr. Chu on behalf of the whole family. In the future, Mr. Chu can speak up when he is useful to my Wang family."

Jing Yijian persuaded Wang Dalin to turn around and said to Lin Xiuhan, "Master Lin, if you want to report to the imperial court, please report to Uncle Wang."

Lin Xiuhan also heard the conversation between the young man and Wang Dalin just now, he admired the determination of the young man in front of him very much at this moment, it is really remarkable that he can refuse such a great honor at such a young age.Just because of this disposition, he felt that this son would be extraordinary in the future.

He nodded, "Okay, as you said."

Now that Lin Xiuhan is here, get ready to make a good inspection.Accompanied by Jing Yi and Wang Xuhuai, he looked at the canal dug by the villagers.

Lin Xiuhan felt his eyes widened when he heard Jing Yi's idea of ​​washing the field with water, "Young Master Chu, you mean that the field contains a lot of salt, so there are no crops growing in the field?"

Jing Yi nodded, "The salinity in this field has exceeded the normal level, making it impossible for the crops to survive. Soaking in the river can dissolve the salt in the field in the water. Just like we put salt in the water , for the same reason that salt dissolves in water.

At that time, when the water containing salt is released, the salt will be taken away with the water, and the salinity in the field will be reduced.There are also some salts that will seep deeper into the ground with the water, which reduces the impact on plant growth.After washing several times in this way, some saline-alkali-tolerant crops can be planted in this field.

At that time, fertilization in the field can improve the fertility of the field, loosen the soil, and increase the yield of crops.

I have been studying medicine since primary school, and I am very interested in plants. I have also done some research on some plants. I know that some crops are not only resistant to salt and alkali, but can also absorb the salt and alkali components in the field. "

Lin Xiuhan was even more interested when he heard this, "Oh, do such crops really exist?"

Jing Yi nodded and said: "I know some crops that are resistant to salt and alkali, such as cotton, which has a taproot system with a well-developed root system, and the roots can reach deep underground, and can absorb as much water and nutrients in the deep soil as possible. It belongs to drought-resistant, salt-alkali-resistant, and barren-resistant crops with high stress resistance.

For example, sunflower not only has a strong ability to tolerate salt and alkali, but also has the ability to absorb salt, which can improve the land.There are also crops such as wolfberry and sandal date that are resistant to salt and alkali.There may be other crops that can be grown as well, they just haven't been discovered yet.I'm going to study it.

In fact, there are many types of saline-alkali land, and the salt content in them is also different.Some saline-alkali lands can grow cotton after treatment, and can achieve good yields, but some saline-alkali lands have almost no cotton harvest.Therefore, planting salt-tolerant crops should also be adapted to local conditions. "

Lin Xiuhan didn't expect that there was so much knowledge in this kind of field, and he admired the young man in front of him for knowing so much at such a young age.

Lin Xiuhan asked: "I wonder what Mr. Chu will plant on this land next year?"

Jing Yi replied: "I plan to plant most of the cotton, and I will also plant some sunflowers and goji berries. The price of cotton in the market is still high now, which is also because farmers plant less and are relatively rare. Sunflowers are edible and can be used to extract oil. So are goji berries. It is a kind of medicinal material, and the income should be good by then. I will also try to grow some rice, and maybe I can breed rice that is resistant to salt and alkali."

Lin Xiuhan nodded when he heard the words, "It seems that Master Chu has a plan in mind. I hope that the crops that Master Chu will plant next year will have a good harvest, and let me learn later."

Lin Xiuhan felt that he had gained a lot today, and returned to the county seat in a happy mood.Chatting with the boy was very interesting, and he could learn a lot. He decided to visit Yunxi Village often in the future.

Besides, this young man is upright and humble, and he is a trustworthy person.Maybe they can be friends.

At the beginning, he only brought a servant to Hui'an County, and he had no relatives or friends around him.I am usually not very busy with official duties, and there are almost no other entertainments except reading.Sometimes he also feels lonely, and he also wants to make a confidant or two, and someone to talk to.

He admired Chu Jingyan very much, and it might be nice to be a bosom friend with him.

Xiao Yitai has been looking for an opportunity to meet Lin Mingyue since he came to Prince Jing's Mansion.Lin Mingyue was his nail buried in Prince Jing's Mansion, and the news about Prince Jing's Mansion was usually passed on to him by Lin Mingyue.

This time, he wanted to inquire about the movements of Prince Jing's mansion in detail, and also to appease Lin Mingyue, so that she could stay at Prince Jing's mansion and monitor everything in Prince Jing's mansion.

Lin Mingyue knew that King Xuan was coming and was anxious to see King Xuan.

On this day, Lin Mingyue received a message from King Xuan, asking her to go to Fenglan Courtyard to meet King Xuan after the third watch at night.

In the middle of the night, Lin Mingyue escaped the patrolling people and came to Fenglan Courtyard.Xiao Yitai's people have been keeping the door open for her.

Finally seeing her master Lin Mingyue was very excited, she possessed herself and saluted and said: "My lord, I have been looking forward to seeing you again, and now my wish has finally come true."

Xiao Yitai looked at Lin Mingyue who was wearing black night clothes and said, "Is there something unusual in Prince Jing's mansion recently?"

Lin Mingyue shook her head, "Prince Jing has been ill these days, and his health is getting worse and worse. He went to another hospital to recuperate, but after returning these days, he got a cold again and was bedridden."

Xiao Yitai frowned and asked: "You mean he went to another hospital to recuperate before? Can you guarantee that he will always be in another hospital?"

Lin Mingyue nodded and said, "I can guarantee this."

Xiao Yitai nodded and asked again: "Has King Jing ever entered your body? Have you consummated your marriage?"

Lin Mingyue shook her head, "Ever since I entered Prince Jing's mansion, Prince Jing has been ill. Prince Jing's health is failing at all, not to mention me, and the other female family members in the backyard have never entered Prince Jing's body. rare."

Xiao Yitai nodded in satisfaction, "You stay here and keep an eye on King Jing, and send me a message immediately if there is anything unusual. In the future, I will be crowned a great treasure, and you will be a great hero. I will definitely take you into the palace."

Lin Mingyue was very pleasantly surprised when she heard the words, "Thank you, my lord, for your love, I will definitely do my best."

Xiao Yitai gave Lin Mingyue a porcelain vase, "You find a way to get close to Prince Jing and pour this into his tea or meals. As soon as Prince Jing dies, I will have someone pick you up immediately."
