I just want to die of old age

Chapter 278 The Princess Is Not Unruly 11

Rice seedlings have been planted in the farmland and green seedlings have emerged.

Su Yuzhu took a look around and found that the fertilizer had not yet been fermented, so the nutrients in the field were not enough and the yield was not high.

Fertilizers are nothing more than nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. In ancient times, potassium fertilizer was made from wood ash, phosphorus fertilizer was made from guano, and nitrogen fertilizer was made from feces and urine.

The operation is still simple.

Learn to physics and you will not be afraid to travel around the world.

Su Yuzhu said seriously: "As long as you use fertilizers, you can increase the yield, so you can harvest more crops."

The old man was overjoyed as he had found a treasure, as they were all used to doing farm work.

He understood farming very quickly, but he had not developed the wisdom to be flexible and adaptable.

Su Yuzhu sent away the maidservants around her and stayed alone.

He also found excuses to smuggle potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes out of the space.

It was mixed with the seeds I had bought earlier and placed together, but it did not attract anyone's attention.

"This yellow one is a potato, which has a good filling effect. It can be used as a staple food, and can also be stir-fried, fried, stewed, or deep-fried. The dishes are rich and delicious. This yellow one is a corn cob, which tastes very good. This one is a sweet potato, which has a very high yield and does not require much land..."

The farmers said in unison: "Sir, is this yield really that high?"

"Really? With them, our Zhao Dynasty will no longer have hungry people, so we must take good care of them and save the food we grow as seeds."

Su Yuzhu said to the white-haired farmer, "You will be the head of the village in the future. You must take good care of the crops in the fields."

They were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes: "Don't worry, my dear, I will take care of you day and night."

Their eyes were full of excitement, and their hands were trembling when they took the items. They handled them very carefully, as if they had received a treasure.

My dear, these are all grains that can serve as staple food, so let them take good care of them.

These farmers looked at this batch of grain seeds just like financially single men seeing beautiful women.

Their eyes lit up when they saw it. For the common people, food is the most important thing.

Besides, judging from what you said, the grain output is quite high.

This makes them look forward to it even more. Even if it doesn’t taste good, it can fill their stomachs.

Even under the emperor's feet, there are still people who are hungry and cold.

Shen Luo and Shen Meng stood aside and were deeply moved. They were also ordinary people and could understand this feeling best.

Moreover, they had been displaced during these days and had even been starving.

Feeling the princess' boundless love, they instantly had ideas in their minds.

Su Yuzhu shared some experiences in farming with them before leaving in their reluctant eyes.

……

Return to the original yard.

Shen Luo and Shen Meng looked at each other and knelt down.

They clasped their hands together and said respectfully, "Hello, Princess. I didn't know you were a princess."

Su Yuzhu waved her sleeves, held Shen Meng's hand, and said in a voice like spring water: "Get up, it was me who didn't tell you first."

"Princess, you are a noble lady, yet you care so much about people's livelihood. I am willing to do my best to help you."

Shen Luo originally just wanted to find a job, but now he is convinced by Su Yuzhu's character and is willing to serve her.

Su Yuzhu's face showed a brilliant smile, brighter than the sunshine outside, and she said as if she had found a treasure: "That's great."

Shen Luo thought for a moment, then took out a stack of manufacturing drawings from his sleeve and handed it over without hesitation.

Su Yuzhu took it with a confused look on her face.

She directly picked up the top design drawing and started looking at it, with shock in her eyes.

Isn’t this the long-lost wooden ox and horse?

Shen Luo blushed slightly and scratched his head shyly: "This is the wooden ox and flowing horse designed by Mr. Zhuge. I modified it a little bit."

"You really are a genius."

Su Yuzhu couldn't help but admire that some people are just blessed by God.

Su Yuzhu looked at another drawing: "There is also a design drawing for a crossbow."

Shen Luo said modestly: "This crossbow can fire five arrows in a row. It's not mature yet, but its range has been greatly improved."

"That's good. The ones currently made by the Ministry of Industry can only fire three arrows, and the range is not enough."

Shen Luo continued to introduce: "There are also catapults, which are not so bulky and have a longer range."

Su Yuzhu said firmly: "I won't take these things of yours for nothing. I will tell my father about it and I will definitely get a great reward."

Such talents are rare, not to mention that Emperor Jing'an is an emperor with a strong character and great ambitions.

Shen Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said directly: "I thought the princess looked down on these little things."

"These are all very important things that can greatly increase the strength of the army. Of course, there is something more important that I want to entrust to you now."

Su Yuzhu handed the cement formula to Shen Luo.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

And with cement, the city walls can be built more solidly.

Shen Luo looked at the formula on the blueprint, his eyes lit up, and he watched with interest: "These materials can be combined to make this kind of cement."

"Yes, that's called chemistry. Those swindlers who make superstitious things, such as turning stone into gold, are actually based on the principles of chemistry. You can study it."

Su Yuzhu believed very much in Shen Luo's talent. After all, she was still waiting to give him the formula for explosives.

But this matter is of great importance and needs to be kept strictly confidential.

Otherwise, once the formula of explosives is leaked, there will definitely be a major crisis.

Shen Luo looked as if he was ready to die for his confidant.

"Thank you for your trust, Princess. I will never reveal the formula to anyone."

"I believe you."

This simple sentence is like a shot of chicken blood.

The loyalty of the two siblings kept rising rapidly and there was no way to stop it.

Then Shen Luo sat aside and studied the formula without saying a word, his eyes rolling around and his eyes shining.

Su Yuzhu was impressed by his concentration.

Shen Luo's master was a skilled craftsman, but he felt his talent was not appreciated and the officialdom was corrupt, so he lived in seclusion in the countryside.

I met him by chance and took him in as my apprentice because I saw his resilience. That's why I accepted him as my last disciple and taught him all my life skills.

Now the disciple is better than the master.

Su Yuzhu took Shen Meng to sit on a bench and chat. Shen Meng was a very well-behaved and sensible girl, and she tended to listen to her brother in some decision-making matters.

Shen Meng is more lively than Shen Luo, but her recent experiences still make her a little worried and scared.

Shen Meng has a pair of lively big eyes that seem to be able to speak. She is beautiful and has the potential to be a great beauty.

She is not as dignified and virtuous as the young ladies in the capital, but she has a different flavor.

It is lively and agile, making people feel happy when they see it.
