I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 511 Prosperity
With the help of Wang Fu, Li Tian followed Ouyang Mian into the interior of the shed through a low door wrapped in cotton cloth on the side.

As soon as he entered, a gust of warm wind blew in his face. Accompanied by the smell of soil and freshly sprouted green vegetables inside, Li Tian felt as if he had come to spring in a daze.

Due to the limited technology, the space of each cave dwelling is not very large, only about [-] square meters in total.

On a small piece of land, every inch of the land has been utilized at this time, and the ground is full of tender green seedlings.

The land seems to have been carefully tended by a special person, and there is not a single weed between the ridges.

Ouyang Mian lowered his body and dug out a vegetable seedling from the soft soil, handed it to Li Tian, ​​and said to Li Tian in a somewhat excited tone,
"Your Majesty, the shed we are in now was built half a month ago, so it is still full of seedlings, but judging from the current growth rate, it will not take long for these seedlings to grow into usable dishes !"

Li Tian reached out to take the plant without being too dirty. Although it was still very young, it was a very strong seedling, as if he was looking at a newborn life, and he couldn't get enough of it.

If a lot of money brings him a sense of satisfaction, then this kind of seedling, which symbolizes life, brings him a sense of pride.

It was his whim that made the winter of Daming appear green. It was his arrival that brought great changes to this era.

The small greenhouse brought Daming not only the ability to eat green vegetables in winter, but also completely created a new planting model and a new way to make money.

You must know that Daming, which is currently in the Little Ice Age, spends nearly half of the year in a lean period.

In this era when storage methods are still very backward and there are not many types of vegetables, it is a luxury to have a bite of green vegetables in winter and spring.

There are so many dignitaries in the capital, so many restaurants and restaurants, and they can only spend the whole winter on tofu, bean sprouts, and other colorless foods. Just imagining it is boring enough.

If green vegetables can be sold on the streets in winter, it is conceivable that even if the price is ten or eight times higher than usual, there will probably be some people vying for it.

A large shed, occupying an area of ​​only a few dozen bungalows, not even a fraction of the land, may create a value far exceeding that of the past.

After the vegetables in the greenhouse are mature and can be supplied to the capital in an appropriate amount, what kind of storm can be caused.

Li Tian didn't know it yet, but he was very clear about one thing, that is, Daming would never be alone at the dining table this winter.

After the emerald green seedling was passed around in the hands of everyone, it fell into the hands of the queen.

The queen was also very happy. She came from a wealthy family and lived in the deep palace all year round. This was the first time she had done such a thing like holding a seedling in person.

It looks very clumsy, playing with it very carefully for fear of accidentally breaking this little thing.

Although Ouyang Mian couldn't recognize the queen dressed in men's clothes, seeing her and Li Tian coming together, he was not expected to be an ordinary person.

After carefully picking up the seedlings, they were planted back in the soil.

Then he said to Li Tian and others,
"Your Majesty, these seedlings are being looked after professionally. When they grow up, they will be transplanted into other sheds. There are more than ten similar sheds. Your Majesty needs to check them one by one."

It’s okay to look at it at ordinary times, but Li Tian knows that those who open the greenhouses frequently have a high probability of damaging the seedlings. After reading this, he is already very satisfied, and there is no need to toss about other greenhouses.

So he shook his head and said,

"The seedlings are still very fragile and cannot withstand such a toss, just look at this."

As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked,

"Ouyang Qing, tell me, this is a place to raise seedlings. Why do you do this? Isn't it a waste of space!"

Ouyang Mian sighed,

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do this. The seeds of various vegetables germinate and grow at different times. If they are planted directly, some may have already sprouted and some have just broken their shells.

Crops in different growth stages have different temperature requirements. If they are distributed in a greenhouse at the same time, it will be more troublesome to take care of.

That's why Weichen uses this method of breeding first and then transplanting, so that they can be kept in the same greenhouse.

The growth is the same, relatively speaking, whether it is adjusting the temperature or arranging suitable staff to take care of it, it will be much more convenient. "

Li Tian nodded while listening, admiring his approach very much.

But Ouyang Mian didn't finish talking, he continued,

"Another point is that the germination rate of seeds is difficult to control. If they are planted directly, there will always be some seeds that will not germinate due to various reasons.

In this way, it is likely to cause a waste of land.

Every space in the greenhouse is very precious. It seems that the output of more than ten greenhouses has been lost by Weichen doing this, but it has a significant effect on the overall output! "

After his explanation, not only Li Tian understood, but even Wang Fu, the fat house, and the queen, the housekeeper, also understood.

"Officer Ouyang Nong is really meticulous and thoughtful. His Majesty is really blessed to be assisted by someone like you, as well as the people of Huangzhuang."

The queen's praise made Ouyang Mian a little overwhelmed. He was just a farm official with no rank at all, but now he is highly praised by others and appreciated by the emperor, which really made him a little uneasy.

"The humble minister is just doing his duty as a minister, no matter how much he asks for credit!"

Li Tian doesn't know what's going on recently, he always likes to pat people on the shoulder like those leaders in the previous life.

He patted his shoulder with a smile and said,

"Ouyang Qing, you don't have to belittle yourself. Here, no matter how high your rank is, as long as you can do things and do practical things, I will reward you.

You are a talented person. I believe that as long as you work hard, keep improving and perfect yourself, I believe that sooner or later you will break out into a new world. "

Seeing that Li Tianguang was boasting and didn't give any actual rewards, the queen interjected and said,

"Your Majesty, when the craftsmen of Tiangongyuan have outstanding performance, you will reward them all. Since you like Ouyang Nongguan so much, why don't you give them some rewards?"

Li Tian originally had this plan, but he felt that the timing was not right at this time, so he didn't say it, and the queen brought it up before he thought about it.
