After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was summer again, and it was time to harvest wheat.

Because the Li family's three thousand acres of land were cultivated later, although a lot of organic fertilizer was used. But it matures a little later, but it grows quite well.

Fortunately, Yan Qingqing plans to plant cotton next season and needs to raise seedlings first, so he can stagger the time difference.

However, the thousand acres of land that Li Xiangping bought from Ding Yuanwai was harvested on time.

Because of the use of organic fertilizer, the wheat ears appear particularly plump. The output is naturally much higher than other companies.

This made Li Xiangping extremely happy. When the agricultural officials at the same level as him heard the news, they all asked to go to Li's field to observe and learn.

On this day, Magistrate Tianling led them to inspect the unharvested wheat fields of the Li family at the request of the big guys.

Li Xiangping even set off with Ah San early in the morning.

When they arrived, Magistrate Ling and several agricultural officials were already waiting there.

After Li Xiangping got off his horse, he quickly saluted Magistrate Ling. Upon seeing this, Magistrate Ling smiled and said: "Okay, we are all so familiar, how can we get so many false gifts.

My lords, you have been waiting for you for a long time. "

Li Xiangping heard this and quickly apologized to everyone: "Everyone, I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long.

I will take you to visit our village. "

After saying that, he made a please gesture to the big guy.

Li Xiangping introduced Zhuangzi to everyone as he walked.

This three thousand acres of Zhuangzi is definitely one of the best in Chengyang County. The long-term workers in the Zhuangzi can be seen everywhere, and they are all smiling from ear to ear.

Although they are not tenant farmers, the harvest in the village is good, and if the owner is happy, the wages will be high for them. This was what Li Xiangping promised them when they came to work.

Even if they are not given extra working money, they are still happy because they all know that working with the Li family will provide them with good benefits.

Ming Zhaoshuo people just had someone pay them a high temperature subsidy a few days ago.

When they heard this, they were simply shocked. This was the first time they had heard about high-temperature subsidies in their entire lives. To put it bluntly, they were trying to find ways to give them money.

How could they not love such a master?

They also all knew that Li Xiangping was a kind man. When they saw him bringing a few people with extraordinary status to visit, they were very discerning and moved out of the way for them.

Looking from a distance, these three thousand acres of golden wheat are quite spectacular and beautiful.

One of the farm officials who usually didn't get along well with Li Xiangping said sourly: "Did your family have some great luck? Why did your family take advantage of all the good things?

Ming Zhaoshuo has been promoted to the rank of third-rank imperial officer for more than a year, and your boy is also the eighth-rank agricultural officer.

Not only are your businesses doing well, even your wheat is growing so well.

It’s impossible not to make people jealous. "

In fact, this person was telling the truth. If you didn't think about it carefully, you wouldn't know it. When you thought about it carefully, you were shocked. The Li family has indeed developed rapidly in the past two years.

However, only Li Xiangping knew that their family was able to achieve today's achievements because they had a good mother, which was earned by their whole family's hard work.

Up until now, her mother still did many things herself, which was not something a third-grade imperial concubine should do.

However, Li Xiangping did not explain this to them. His mother said that since they have paid for it, they can just enjoy the results with peace of mind. No need to explain it to outsiders.

Instead, Magistrate Ling said: "I brought you here to visit Mr. Li's manor, to learn from him how to grow crops so well, not for you to compare and envy.

You are also agricultural officials, and you are all older than Mr. Li in terms of age and seniority. I have not seen how good the crops you cultivate are.

Rather than having the leisure to make sarcastic remarks here, it is better to think carefully about why you cannot achieve political achievements. "

The peasant officials' faces turned red after what Magistrate Ling said.

Because agricultural officials do not need to go through layers of selection, most of them are petty officials donated by their families. They are also eighth-grade officials, but their gold content is far different from the eighth-grade officials conferred by the emperor Li Xiangping.

Magistrate Ling's few words stopped them from talking nonsense.

Another agricultural officer surnamed Wang saw the awkward atmosphere and smoothed things over with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, we are here to learn from Mr. Li today.

Mr. Li’s crops are indeed growing better than those of other families. Whether it was potatoes and sweet potatoes in the past or wheat now, we think there must be a secret to it.

If this method can be popularized, it will also be of great benefit to the people of Dayan, and Mr. Li is also a great meritorious deed. "

Magistrate Ling's expression softened a little after hearing these words.

Li Xiangping smiled when he heard this and said: "What Mr. Wang said is that I also have this plan.

It's just that if you want to submit it to the county magistrate, you must have accurate data.

Moreover, I am only currently conducting experiments. As soon as I have achieved some results, I invite you all to come and visit. "

After hearing this, County Magistrate Ling nodded and praised: "You are right to be so cautious. After all, this is a major matter related to people's livelihood."

Then Li Xiangping took them around the manor, and the more they looked at it, the more shocked they became.

If every household could grow such high-yielding food, then there would be no hunger problem in the Yan Dynasty.

This time Magistrate Ling took the lead and asked: "Master Li, tell me, why does your wheat grow so well?"

Li Xiangping smiled and said: “Actually, if you want wheat to grow well, you also need the right time, place, and people.

If the actual conditions are not met, we have to create it ourselves. There are only three key points. One is that the fertility of the land must be sufficient, and the other is to prevent pests. Another one is good weather.

However, the fertility of a lot of land, even fertile land, will drop significantly after growing crops for several years, resulting in reduced food production.

Insects also need to reproduce during the season and will come to eat the crops.

If you want everything to go smoothly, you have to rely on God to reward you. "

When Li Xiangping said this, everyone, including Magistrate Ling, nodded. They were all agricultural officials and must have some understanding of this aspect.

But what Li Xiangping said next shocked them. They heard him say: "In fact, the fertility of the land can be changed artificially, and fertilizer is produced through a series of fermentations.

In addition, pest control is not just about catching pests manually. You can also take some measures to prevent pests in the early stage.

Of course, in addition to these two points, water conservancy is also very important. Most of us Dayan people depend on the weather for our livelihood.

We may harvest more when the weather is good, but we may not be able to do so when there are droughts and floods.

Then why can't we store water during rainy periods and drain it for irrigation when there is drought?

This is the so-called right time, right place and right people. "

After Li Xiangping finished speaking, all the adults looked at him in shock.

If these things he mentioned could be changed artificially, it would be difficult for the food in the fields to be high-yielding.
