Happy peasant girl

Chapter 34 Alarming the County Magistrate
"Sister, you're confused. It's summer now, and there's no way to grow vegetables." Lin Qinghe said with a smile.

"It can grow. I have already checked. Although a lot of wasteland at the foot of the mountain is on the shady side, it can still receive sunlight. If the temperature of the greenhouse is adjusted properly, and the ventilation and irrigation facilities are properly handled, there will be no problems at all. And Vegetables from all seasons can be grown in the greenhouse, and fresh vegetables can be eaten in winter.” Lin Qingxi thought that the fastest way to make money would be to produce and sell herself, which is why she encouraged her family to open a restaurant one of the purposes.

"Xi girl, what you said is true?" Linyuan Mountain has been planted for half his life, and he has a deep affection for the land.

"Grandpa, I didn't lie. Think about it, why Mingming soil and water are the same, and some vegetables can only be eaten in summer but not in winter, and some can be eaten in winter but not in summer. The biggest difference It is because of the temperature. In fact, like wheat, rice, vegetables, even animals, flowers and trees, they are the same as people, and they will change due to the difference in cold and heat. As long as you master the temperature required for their growth, you can grow out-of-season Come here.” Before Linqingxi decided to open an ecological farmhouse, she had studied agriculture and acquired a lot of agricultural knowledge and technology, so she is very familiar with greenhouses.

Although the people in Linyuan Mountain didn't understand a lot of words, they all felt that Linqingxi's words made sense, and wasn't growing vegetables and food also the same?

"Sister, if the warm house you mentioned is really so useful, then instead of one season of wheat and one season of rice in Chu, we can grow wheat and rice all year round!" Lin Qinghe was excited by this realization I stood up from the small bench. If this was the case, I would never starve to death again.

"Fifth brother, although this is the case in theory, it is not so easy to do in practice. First, the growth cycle of vegetables is shorter than that of wheat and rice, and the results can be seen soon. Second, the cost of growing food in greenhouses is too high, and it is not cost-effective at all. In fact, Other methods can be used to increase the yield of wheat and rice, such as seed selection, fertilization, and treatment of diseases and insect pests.” Lin Qingxi found herself talking about these agricultural knowledge, as if she had returned to modern times, but she forgot that she was already an ancient person. She is still a little girl who is only eight years old.

What she said and what she said next not only shocked the old Lin's family beyond measure, but also made Lu Zhiming and Master Jiang, who were working in the back hall of the county yamen, walk around the room excitedly.

"She really said that?" Lu Zhiming suddenly walked up to the guard who had been hiding around Lao Lin's house looking for news, and grabbed his arms and asked loudly.

"Returning to my lord, Lin Qingxi did say so. She also asked her family how much grain is produced per mu in Chu State. Lin Yuanshan told her that in the best years, one mu of good land would produce two hundred catties of wheat. The yield of rice is [-] catties. But she told her family that if she works hard and finds the right methods in terms of seed selection, fertilization, irrigation, weeding and pest control, then the yield of wheat per mu should be about [-] catties, and rice should be around [-] catties per mu. About a thousand catties." If he hadn't seen how Lin Qingxi was busy in the field with his own eyes, the guard would have thought that the peasant girl was talking nonsense, but now he actually wanted to believe what she said.

"Sir, what do you think?" Lu Zhiming tried hard to calm himself down, but he couldn't do it. The three-year drought caused the country of Chu to die of starvation, and the fields had no harvest.

Now the national treasury is empty, people's hearts are uncertain, and foreign enemies are ready to move. If this continues, Chu State will really die.

Hope, he seemed to have really seen hope, and this hope came from a peasant girl who was too ordinary. Could it be that God really took pity on Chu State and sent the next savior to save the people from suffering?
"My lord, this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way. It should not be done hastily, let alone be known by outsiders. If the peasant girl's statement is not true, it will be a joy for nothing. If she can say it better, then this matter We need to be more cautious, let's observe for a while." Master Jiang thinks it's better to proceed safely.

"No, no! Time is running out now. Do you know that the three prefectural cities of Bingzhou, Yuanzhou and Chenzhou are almost dead cities. Although the plague is temporarily under control, the people's hearts are extremely unstable. The people in the surrounding prefectures Life is also difficult. A letter from my mentor said that the food in the national treasury is almost unsustainable, and the royal food of the Holy Majesty and the harem have been reduced to four dishes and one soup. Do you think I can wait any longer?" Lu Zhiming has never been like today He was so impatient, he couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't wait for a moment to see this little girl from the old Lin's family.

Master Jiang understands Lu Zhiming's eagerness. In fact, he is the same way. Just imagine, if this little girl from Lin's family can really grow [-] catties of wheat and [-] catties of rice per mu, then it will be a big deal for Chu State. What a surprise, and how many lives of innocent people could be saved.

"My lord, it's getting late now. Even if we arrive at Linjia Village now, everyone in this village should rest. Should we just come to ask if Linqingxi can grow high-yield grain?" Master Jiang glanced at the sky outside. , I still think it would be better to go again tomorrow.

"Of course we can't just come to the door to ask questions. This little girl has too many unsolved mysteries. It's really wrong to go there rashly. Let's find a way." Lu Zhiming also knew that he was a little too hasty, but he was a commoner. With his heart attached to all the people in the world, he might not be able to sleep tonight.

Also unable to sleep were many people from the old Lin's family, they all thought over and over what Lin Qingxi had said during the sleepless night.

After finally surviving the night, everyone in the old Lin family got up early and looked at Lin Qingxi who was sleeping soundly on the bed. With the sleepy Lin Qingxi and several grandchildren going to his fertile farmland.

"Grandfather, do you really want to turn this acre of soybean seedlings into the field as fertilizer?" Linqingxi didn't expect that Linyuan Mountain also has a side that listens to the wind and the rain. She just talked about the greenhouse yesterday. To cover one out.

"Turn over! Sanlang, you lead Wulang and Liulang to chop bamboo on the mountain, Shiro, girl Xi, turn over the land with me!" Just do it, Linyuanshan feels that he has endless energy.

In less than an hour, the ground was dug up, and the three of them were drinking water and resting on the ground. At this time, they saw two men in common clothes walking towards them.

"Old man, can I ask for a glass of water?" The man who approached Linyuan Mountain first asked with a friendly smile.

"If this gentleman doesn't dislike the crudeness of the farmhouse, please use it!" Seeing that the visitor was bookish and very tolerant, Linyuanshan hurriedly said, thinking that he must be a learned person.

"Thank you, thank you!"

After the two of them thanked each other, they poured a glass of water from the pitcher to drink from the broken bowl of the old Lin's house.But after drinking the water, they did not leave, but chatted with Linyuan Mountain.
