Is my wife farming today?

Chapter 222 The crux of the matter

The girl rolled her eyes and looked at Xu Boyan not far away, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that you want to expropriate my family's land?"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. The land in Liangzhou has been cursed by the wizards of Rizhao Kingdom for a long time. It will never grow food for life. Even if you expropriate my land, it will be in vain." As she said this, the girl seemed to Afraid of their disbelief, he even mentioned the simple hoe in the field nearby.

He stepped forward and threw away the millet grains that had been sown in the pit for a long time.

A small seed, buried in the soil, has shriveled and turned black. It can be seen that it has been in the soil for a long time.

Xie Xie and Xu Boyan stepped forward one after another.

In the 21st century, Xie Xie's main research direction at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was soil, so although she has been out of professional knowledge for a long time, she still retains her sensitivity to soil issues.

Reach out and grab a handful of soil. The first step to discerning how fertile your soil is is to observe.

“The soil is lighter in color and less fertile.”

The second step was to detect the depth of the soil. He refused to pull a branch and poked it down. He saw that the surface coverage of the soil was less than one finger deep. He then turned to Xu Boyan and said: "The oxygen content is too low. The soil is sticky and difficult to plow, and the soil has too many cracks and is prone to sludge, so it’s no wonder it hardens at every turn.”

Xu Boyan and her specialize in different directions, but they complement each other. His professional direction is breeding, so when he refused to observe the soil and simply judged the soil condition, he was not idle. He was also judging the ecological situation of millet grains.

After a while, they came to a conclusion.

Talking about being cursed by a wizard from the Rizhao Kingdom is absolutely non-existent for a rising young man from the 21st century's envelope science.

However, judging from the soil conditions and seedling growth ecology, the soil here should have been polluted and damaged by some unknown substance for a long time, resulting in low fertility and poor farmability.

This problem is actually very different from the reason why Qingshui Village cannot farm land.

As long as the real source of pollution is found, the fundamental problem of land poverty in Liangzhou can be completely eliminated.

Xu Boyan took out his handkerchief and took away the rotten millet kernel.

There are no research equipment and equipment here, so both of them can only rely on the most primitive and basic methods to investigate.

"I think we should look at other places, just in case this is the only place in the city with special soil quality." Xu Boyan suggested after checking several other fields around him.

He declined and nodded, looking at the girl's big black eyes showing curiosity about them.

She took off another black jade pendant hanging on her body, held it in her hand and asked, "You are very good at farming. Has anyone taught you?"

The girl looked at her and shook her head, "If you are really from Yongchang Houfu, then I am willing to give up all the land in my family. Anyway, you are going to use it to help the refugees."

"Are you so sure that we will use it to help the refugees? There are tens of thousands of refugees in Liangzhou City, who can help them?" declined to ask her.

However, the girl didn't even think about it and replied: "Who in the entire Liangzhou City doesn't know that the Queen sent a good Marquis who loves the people like a son, and the Marquis dared to open the city on the first day he arrived in Qingzhou?" They let the refugees in, and the next day they spent all their money to buy food and cook porridge to help us."

"Anyway, I have no father or mother, so the food I have been able to eat in the past half month has been all thanks to the porridge given by the Marquis. If you really want to use it, just use it."

The girl looks only thirteen or fourteen years old. Long-term hunger has made her look sallow, thin, and malnourished, but her big eyes look particularly bright, and her words convey a sense of maturity and generosity. Love is selfless. Such children, if nurtured and guided, will surely become great talents in the future.

He declined and handed over the jade pendant he was holding tightly in his hand, "We still need to go to other places to inspect the land conditions in the past few days. I will temporarily expropriate the land in your home in the name of the Marquis Mansion, and return it to you when there is a normal harvest in the future. , these days, you can live in the Marquis Mansion first."

The girl hesitated, as if afraid to reach out.

If he refused, he could only spread her hand and put the jade pendant into her hand, "You take this jade pendant to the stewards in the Hou Mansion and say that I asked you to come, and they will arrange a place for you. "

The Hou Mansion? There must be a lot of food there, right? An idea flashed through the girl's mind, and she was about to say thank you, but the three of them declined and walked away silently.

As Xu Boyan walked, he spread out the map he made last night and planned his next stop.

They still need to choose a few more locations in the center of the city to check out.

Qingzhu climbed into the car and said puzzledly: "Your jade pendant is worth a lot at first glance. You are not afraid that you will never get it back after giving it to her. Maybe she will pawn it and sell it."

When Xu Boyan heard this, he raised his head and said, "That girl is indeed quite talented. Do you want to use her for your own use?" His words were not meant to answer Qingzhu, but to refuse.

He refused and pursed his lips with a smile, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes, senior brother. I see that she is hardworking and capable, and can turn over the wasteland at home so well at a young age. I suddenly felt a sense of cherishing her talents. Isn't this also what you taught me, senior brother?" Is it mine?"

At that time, she first entered the Academy of Agricultural Sciences as an intern, and Xu Boyan was like this. He was attracted by her quick hands and feet, and she was fast and orderly in everything she did, so he took the initiative to ask the leaders of the academy for instructions and transferred her to him as an assistant.

Later, she was taught step by step various advanced skills such as breeding, seedling selection and cultivation.

"Speaking of this, I don't know if Liu Xiu can still be busy if he stays in Kyoto alone?" Xie Xie thought, remembering to write her a letter to ask about the situation in the evening.

Then, they went to several locations in the city.

The situation is mostly the same. After everyone heard that they were from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, everyone's attitude changed drastically, from questioning to being convinced.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Mr. Xie had already won over so many people.

These people's trust in Yongchang Houfu has even exceeded Xie's imagination.

Everywhere you go, you feel more and more.

What was originally just for selfish desires was unknowingly shrouded in the veil of saving the country and the people, which inevitably made people feel stressed.

Before I knew it, there were thick clouds overhead, and there were signs of a heavy rain coming at any time.

Qingzhu held a big cake in both hands and chewed it impatiently, looking sadly at Xu Boyan who was still discussing in a low voice in the car and declined, "You only let the horse run, but don't let it eat grass. Such a horse How many days can you live?"

They had been out all day and had covered most of the fields in the city.

The conclusion is the same, we need to find the source of pollution.
