Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 55 Liu Bei’s Advice on Understanding Grain Seeds

As if it had been discussed in advance, the farmland that Liu Bei took him to see was mostly bare...

No, no, no—it can’t be called bare!Looking closely, he could see that the fields had been plowed, and the seeds had been sown long ago, but they had not yet germinated... He curled his lips. He didn't know much about crops, but he only knew that he saw rows and rows of them. A row of small black grains, or pieces of roots.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the fields had been sown with crops, but he looked too quickly and failed to see them clearly.

"Uncle Wang, do you know what is grown here?" He pointed to the field at his feet with great interest.

Liu Bei said: "What I am planting is 'Siong'. "

"Song?" He was taken aback for a moment: What is that?

He originally thought that farmers should grow grains, such as millet, millet, wheat, bean sprouts and rice, but he didn't know that was not the case.

Seemingly seeing his doubts, Liu Bei explained: "Your Highness doesn't go to the fields, so he doesn't know. This rice plant grows very fast and is resistant to cold and heat. It can be planted after August, and four-petaled yellow flowers will bloom in February of the following year." , March knotted horns, like mustard horns, best used for pickling vegetables!”

Pickles? !
He understood immediately: It turned out to be Chinese cabbage?

At this time, he suddenly heard a voice in the distance, shouting: "What are you making a fuss about? If I say to plant rice, plant rice. If you want to grow wheat or rice, you can just plant it on your own! Why do you care about me?" You’re not Your Highness, but you can’t give me orders! Besides, I once heard from my grandpa that rice can also cure diseases!”

The loud shouting immediately attracted the attention of Liu Bian and others.

He looked for his reputation, and saw a familiar guy in the distance yelling with a group of farmers.

It was none other than Zeng A Niu!
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he, Liu Bei and others walked over as a matter of course.

"What's going on?" he asked loudly, "What are you so noisy about?!"

The arrival of him, Liu Bei and others immediately shocked Zeng Aniu and the group of farmers.

Zeng Aniu turned around and saw him. He was surprised and said: "Your Highness! Your Highness, why are you here? - That's it! I also have a field, and I planted it with Chinese sativa! Then, these guys After seeing each other, I couldn’t help but insist that I change the category, but I refused, so I started to quarrel with the other party..."

Looking sideways at the group of farmers, Zeng Aniu's expression was very grim, as if to say: "My backer is here, you are finished!"

he:"……"

If he wasn't worried about Chang's own image, he would really want to hold his forehead.

You Zeng Aniu, who is your backer? ——I don’t want to recruit you at all! !
never mind!Seeing as you are a new doctor in Nanpi County, I...don't care about you for now.

Before Liu Bian could speak, the group of farmers bowed down one after another and saluted:
"Your Highness! The common people have seen Your Highness!..."

Well, these farmers actually recognized him.

"Everyone, please get up." He waved his hands quickly to show off.

As a result, this group of farmers just got up.

"Is Zeng A Niu telling the truth?" He asked.

A farmer took a step forward on behalf of everyone and said loudly: "Yes!"

"Why don't you let Zeng Aniu grow sativa?" he asked again.

"Your Highness, we all grow grains and other food, but this man is different. He insists on growing crops. Not only is he wasting good land, but he is also clamoring for us to grow crops too!"

what?
He opened his mouth wide, looked at Zeng Aniu in surprise, and exclaimed: "Is there another reason behind this?"

"Yes!" Zeng Aniu nodded hastily, not feeling that he was wrong yet, "These guys' fields are adjacent to mine. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to plant more rice?"

"Do you dare to plant all the fields in this area with sativa?" he complained.

"That's right! That's right!" Zeng Aniu agreed happily.

The farmers were angry and said angrily: "Bah! Don't even think about it!!"

Perhaps realizing that they were too rude in front of His Highness, the farmers quickly lowered their heads and stopped saying anything.

Zeng Aniu didn't know why, and asked doubtfully: "Why not? - Let me tell you, rice is very useful. It can benefit the stomach, promote fluid production, clear away heat and relieve troubles!"

Everyone: "..."

At this time, even Liu Bei looked over curiously and asked: "Can...what?"

"It can benefit the stomach, promote fluid production, clear away heat and relieve troubles!" Zeng Aniu's eyes lit up as he patiently wrote, "It can benefit the stomach and promote fluid production, clear away heat and relieve troubles!" Zeng Aniu's eyes lit up and he wrote patiently, "It can benefit the stomach and intestines! It can remove blockage and boredom in the chest! It can harmonize the body, facilitate defecation and defecation! It can cure malaria and stop diarrhea. If you have a cough due to heat evil, the best effect will be obtained by drinking water spinach juice in November and December!!”

Just one month later, it will be November, so Zeng Aniu thought that it is best to grow rice, right?

He was thinking in a daze, vaguely understanding Zeng Aniu's plan.

The farmers looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

"But, we have already planted something else." The farmer was covered in cold sweat and his face was full of shame.Zeng Aniu said without hesitation: "It hasn't sprouted yet, so put it away! Let's plant rice instead?!"

After hearing this, all the farmers were embarrassed and all looked at Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was speechless.

Regarding whether he must grow rice or not, Liu Bian held an indifferent attitude.

His opinion is: As long as the fields are no longer abandoned, that's fine!
As for what to plant...just plant whatever is suitable? !
Anyway, he didn't expect that one day he would have to think about what crops to grow.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Liu Bei and asked, "What does Uncle Wang think?"

Liu Bei said: "It doesn't matter if you plant rice instead. But, are there enough seeds?"

Not to mention it's okay, but once everyone thinks about it...the seeds assigned after each registration are different, it's random!

So, if you really want to plant all the seeds, you still have to see if there are enough seeds!
Liu Bian saw that the farmers were obviously relieved, and said with a regretful tone: "It's not enough!"

——If everyone's expressions were a little more disappointed, instead of smiling, maybe the effect of regret would be better!
Zeng Aniu made a bitter look on his face and said in disappointment, "What should I do? I really want to get more rice."

A farmer laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? You can find someone who owns the seeds and buy them with money."

"Not enough money?!" Zeng Aniu went crazy.

"I'll lend it to you!" Another farmer waved his hand boldly, "I've saved some rice, and you can exchange it when the time comes!"

"Really?!" Zeng Aniu was ecstatic.

"I'm just waiting for you to make that cabbage juice. Can you give me a bowl of it so I can have a taste?"

"can!"

"Really? - I want it too! Remember to leave a copy for me!"

"And me!"

In the chattering ground, the farmers chatted happily with Zeng Aniu.

Seeing this, Liu Bian, Liu Bei and others smiled clearly and walked away quietly...

Riding the carriage, Liu Bian, Liu Bei and others inspected the other fields.

This time, the farmland was finally normal.

Liu Bian saw that although the seeds were still sown in the field, the seeds had not yet sprouted, and the whole area looked bare. At least there were no disputes among the farmers... After getting off the carriage and walking around the field, Liu Bian asked with interest:

"Uncle Wang, do you know what is grown in this area?"

Liu Bei said: "This area is planted with wheat, which can be used to make sugar or make wine, and can also be used to grind flour."

He stroked his palms and said happily: "Very good, very good! Where is it over there?"

“Over there?—Probably Ji!”

Next, Liu Bei reported the corresponding plants in detail, which made Liu Bian applaud in admiration.

Liu Bian sighed: "Uncle Wang, you know so much!"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, as if he was remembering something from the past, smiled slightly, and said warmly: "These are not difficult to understand, but it's just more to read. Speaking of this, I have something to ask Your Highness."

After saying that, Liu Bei bowed his hands and saluted Liu Bian.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bian raised his hand, indicating that Liu Bei didn't need to be polite.

Liu Bei said: "It's not a big deal. Your Highness, it was inappropriate for you to randomly distribute seeds to registered refugees or tenant farmers."

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Bian listened to the second half of Liu Bei's sentence.

But I heard Liu Bei continue: "Although there are many varieties of seeds, unfortunately some are not suitable for planting in Nanpi County, such as rice! Rice needs a lot of water to grow well! And Nanpi County is mountainous and has It is not suitable for farming rice! Your Highness also asks that when allocating grain seeds in the future, it is best to separate them into different categories and only let farmers plant suitable ones."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your advice. I'll take note of it and I won't make any mistakes next time." He accepted the advice humbly.

Liu Bei said happily: "Your Highness, it is a blessing for Bei to listen to what he has to say."

"Uncle Wang is so humble." He praised every opportunity, "Uncle Wang is a great talent. I hope I can listen to your teachings often, Uncle Wang."

Liu Bian and Liu Bei looked at each other and smiled in unison.

After that, they visited the farmlands in various places in Nanpi County.
