Chapter 255
Another season of winter and spring, spring is brilliant, and spring rain is like oil.

The wheat seedlings in the wheat field are all green, and the peach trees, apricot trees, and pear trees are all showing flower bones.

Because Shen Chengyao was also in charge of persuading farmers and mulberry farmers, Xiaoer specially bought a Zhuangzi with orchards, fishing ponds and fertile land in the suburbs of the city, and used it as a test field.

The royal family also has a royal experimental field, and the emperor handed it over to Shen Chengyao.

The work of the previous agricultural officials was only to remind the people when it was time to plow and sow in the ground, and to reap when it was time to harvest.

This reminder is only issued to the local yamen and posted in the form of a notice.

In some remote counties, by the time this notice was posted, the common people had begun weeding the crops in the field a second time.

The Royal Experimental Field is only managed by some long-term workers who can farm, and these people have never thought about innovation or how to increase production. They just cultivate according to the methods passed down from generation to generation. Seeking no-fault mentality to plant this experimental field, in short, it has no experimental effect at all, and the word "experiment" is in vain.

After Shen Chengyao went to the household department to deal with some matters, he went to the experimental field to check the growth of the wheat, and then rode to his own experimental field.

It is inconvenient for Xiaoer to go to the imperial experimental field, but her theoretical knowledge is better than that of Shen Chengyao, so she set up an experimental field in her own Zhuangzi to exchange and study with Shen Chengyao.

Di Shaowei's grandfather, Zhongyong Hou, loved planting flowers and weeds very much. A year ago, Xiao'er gave their family a pot of bodhi flowers as a New Year's gift. When the Hou Ye saw it, he loved it like a sweetheart.

After some inquiring, they found out that their family had a flower field, so they often asked Shen Chengyao to study the flower scriptures.

Shen Chengyao loves farming, he loves growing flowers, and the two hit it off.

Now Shen Chengyao is busy with spring plowing, Master Hou said that he is also interested, so he followed Xiao'er early in the morning.

Shen Chengyao is a man of hard work, he vowed to do something for the common people, worthy of the emperor's appreciation and support for him.

So he personally participated in the crops in the experimental field and kept records.

Xiaoer said that reasonable close planting, fertilization and irrigation are needed, and he followed suit.

Some time ago, Xiao'er had someone dig a large pond for composting, and now she came here to see if the compost was ripe.

She checked the books in the space, and at this time the wheat is most suitable for topdressing nitrogen fertilizer.

In modern nitrogen fertilization, urea can be applied, but here it can only be synthesized by human and animal manure, plant ash, rotted grass, etc.

Xiao'er then thought of using biogas fertilizer to top-dress dryland wheat.

The nitrogen recovery rate of biogas fertilizer is as high as 90.00%, so it is very suitable for top dressing.

And the production is simple, just mix straw, grass and human excrement in the biogas digester, cover the cover, let it ferment naturally to produce biogas, and the remaining residue is biogas fertilizer.

Shen Chengyao asked people to uncover those wooden boards, Xiaoer glanced at the black manure in the pond, and nodded: "It's done, take out the manure, and then pile it up for five or six days before going down to the field."

"Why do you have to stack it for five or six days before you can download it?" Zhongyonghou is a curious baby.

Xiao'er considered the words before she said: "Too much fertilizer will burn the roots and cause the wheat seedlings to turn yellow and wither.

Therefore, half of the water needs to be added when fertilizing. It is best to fertilize in holes or furrows and then cover the soil, and finally water. "

Zhongyonghou nodded.

"It takes a while for dung to fertilize the land." Shen Chengyao added, this is known to many experienced people.

"Your majesty is right. With a serious and responsible Nong Zhengqing like you, our farming and animal husbandry industry will surely usher in glory." Lord Hou stroked his beard and smiled.

"I just do my best. Even if I make a difference, I still have to rely on the emperor's trust and promotion. I definitely don't have such a big influence."

Hou Ye nodded when he heard this. He is a clear-eyed person who doesn't want to be overjoyed. He is serious and responsible in his work and down-to-earth.

Shen Chengyao took Zhongyonghou to see the orchard and vegetable field again, and explained the benefits of grafting technology.

"Not only fruit trees, cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables can be grafted, but flowers can also be grafted. By grafting multiple scions on one rootstock, that is, grafting the scions of several varieties of flowers, then a pot of flowers can show a variety of colors , can make flowers more precious." Xiaoer added.

"Is this true? No, I have to try it myself. What kind of connection is this grafting? Girl Xiao'er, you have to teach Grandpa Di!"

"Okay, it's actually not difficult, it's quite simple. I'll tell you when my flower field breeds new varieties." Xiao'er agreed.

"It's a word."

The three originally planned to return home after having lunch at Zhuangzi, but Mrs. Liu sent someone to say that Mr. Zhuge was visiting.

Shen Chengyao and Xiao'er hurried home.

When the two returned home, the three brothers had already returned from school.

Several people greeted each other before sitting down.

"I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't prepare anything. I'm really sorry. You have helped us so much, and the kindness of dripping water should be repaid. If you need my help in the future, just ask. I will not shirk what I can do." One or two. Put this jade pendant away, if you have anything to do, take the jade pendant to the Yulin Shengjing in the east gate, and the treasurer there will let me know." Zhuge Xin blushed a little when he said this, and he handed the jade pendant to Shen Chengyao.

Others helped him raise his son for so long, but he came to pick him up empty-handed, no matter how he thought about it, he felt embarrassed.

Giving money directly seems too insincere.

But this time it was because the incident happened suddenly, they dropped everything and rushed over after receiving the news that Brother Ri had been assassinated.

"Mr. Zhuge is too polite. Brother Ri is so kind to us. We are all family members. We can't talk about repaying him." Shen Chengyao didn't take the jade pendant.

"Brother Shen, please accept it, this jade pendant is just for the convenience of contacting each other."

Shen Chengyao accepted it after hearing this.

"Is it safe for you to take Brother Ri back?" Mrs. Liu asked worriedly.

"Madam Shen, don't worry, they are like grasshoppers in autumn, they won't be jumping for long."

"Oh." After hearing this, Mrs. Liu didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

He didn't want Brother Ri to leave, but he had no excuse to let him stay.

Seeing this, Brother Ri knelt down in front of Shen Chengyao and Mrs. Liu.

"Brother Ri, what are you doing, get up quickly." Mrs. Liu hurriedly stood up and helped Brother Ri up.

"Brother Ri can't do it." Shen Chengyao also hurriedly said.

"The two of you should accept his worship, this is what he deserves." Zhuge Xin said.

The two sat down after hearing this.

Brother Ri kowtowed three times to Shen Chengyao and Mrs. Liu.

"Brother Ri, thank you Uncle Shen and Auntie for their kindness in nurturing, Brother Ri will definitely come back, and I hope that Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen will betroth Yun'er to me."
