Chapter 75

Nancheng gate

More and more ponds used to transfer live fish in Mojia village have been opened for people to visit. An endless stream of Chang'an citizens have surrounded the pond on both sides.

There are countless live fish in the pond. They are not afraid to see the people on both sides. They are running to the oxygen supplier to compete for a comfortable place.

"Ah! So this is the secret skill of live fish!"

A green shirt scholar was disappointed and said that he couldn't lift his interest when he saw such a simple secret skill.

"Didn't you attend today's ink art exhibition?" the middle-aged man in black looked at the scholar in green and said.

"How do you know?" the green shirt scholar was surprised.

The middle-aged man in Black said with a smile: if he participated in the ink technology exhibition, he would not be disappointed. Mozi promised in public that if anyone could understand why injecting air into the water could make the fish live, he would directly offer a reward of 10000 yuan! "

"Ten thousand passes!" the green shirt scholar was shocked and couldn't close his chin.

Many listeners around were also in an uproar, ten thousand times, which was a fortune they could not think of. When they thought of here, they couldn't help looking at the oxygen supply driven by the windmill next to the pond.

"If you find out the existence of oxygen by yourself, isn't it..." more and more people think that the temptation of 10000 is too big to resist its power.

"It seems that the little catfish's strategy is very successful!" Li Shimin looked at the people and talked about it one after another. He opened his mouth and closed his mouth. It seemed that money was not money.

He was dressed in civilian clothes like a rich man wandering around, surrounded by tall Cheng Yaojin and black faced Yuchi Jingde, and capable Qin Qiong disguised as a guard.

"All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the bustle in the world is for benefit. If it's not for the five thousand hungry and cold villagers in Mojia village, Dunning would rather be a dandy walking dogs and playing birds!" Merton said. He took the fish food from a passing Mojia boy, grabbed it and threw it into the water.

"Brush!" the fish food fell into the water and made a clear sound. Because Mojia village had been feeding in the fish pond for a long time, the fish here had already developed the habit of grabbing food. Suddenly, countless fish heads rushed there, frantically competing for food and splashing the water out of the water.

"How spectacular!"

This kind of scene, which is very common in later generations, appeared for the first time in the Tang Dynasty, causing everyone's exclamation.

"Guan Zhong's words are really penetrating!" Li Shimin sighed.

As an emperor, he had a deeper understanding of Guan Zhong's words, and often used this method to achieve his own purpose.

The picture of fish grabbing food left a deep impression on everyone, and many pedestrians asked to do it again.

Merton was not in the mood to perform again. He handed the fish food in his hand to Qin Huaiyu, who was eager to try. He took Li Shimin and others to the experimental field of Mohism.

"See you, sir!"

Su Lingnong gets the news and rushes to Li Shimin. For the sake of Li Shimin's safety, Su Lingnong calls him master. At the moment, Su Lingnong is dressed like an old farmer. If Li Shimin didn't recognize him, he would never have thought that the big Si Nong of Datang was this person.

"Su Lingnong, you came first. How about Qu Yuanli?" Li Shimin asked.

Su Lingnong quickly pointed to the field and said, "Your Majesty, there are cultivated pears operating at the same time. One of them is an old cultivated pear, and the one on the right is a Qu Yuan plow. Qu Yuan plow has great advantages!"

Li Shimin looked around and saw that the old cultivated pear on the right was very heavy, it was very difficult to turn around, and it was difficult to use the gain and loss double cattle cultivated land. In this way, it is still not as large as the area of cultivated land with a Quyuan plow pulled by one person and one cow on the right.

"Quyuan plow can not only directly save a cow without slowing down the speed of cultivated land, but also turn the underground soil back, making the land more fertile and soft, which is conducive to the growth of farmers. Mohism is really great. Thank Mohism here on behalf of millions of farmers in the Tang Dynasty."

Su Lingnong bowed to Merton.

Morton was startled. He quickly turned aside and said, "Lord Su broke the evil boy. The boy asked the Mojia village to improve the Quyuan plow just to find a source of money for the Mojia village. He can't afford the big gift of adults."

"Lord Su is very polite to this boy. The farmers have got advanced tools to improve quyuanli. Mojia village has made money to make quyuanli, and each takes what he needs." Qin Qiong persuaded Su Lingnong.

"The public of the Yiguo doesn't know what Merton has done. Sir, look, the 100 mu field is neatly divided into four parts, each of which is 25 mu." Su Lingnong said, pointing to the four planned fields.

Qin Qiong suddenly realized that they thought the field was originally there, but they didn't think it was planned by Mojia village.

"What's the use of such planning? Is there any trick in it?" Li Shimin asked, not understanding Su Lingnong's gaffe.

Su Lingnong looked at them. They were in the middle of the field and there was no one around. Then he respectfully said, "if you return to your majesty, let Sir Mo explain the secret to you. After all, sir Mo designed it and only he can explain it clearly."

"Mo boy, talk quickly!" Li Shimin squinted at Merton.

Merton touched his nose awkwardly. When old man Su spoke just now, you were respectful and polite, but when I asked you to say it, you were very impolite.

There's no way. Who makes himself the lowest position here? Merton sighed in his heart and said, "the boy divides this 100 mu into four. The first part uses traditional farming methods to sow seeds, and the second part of the land is slightly changed. Weichen collected plant ash and various fertilizers from various villages, and turned them into the ground with a Qu Yuan plow to enhance the soil fertilizer, so as to increase the grain yield."

In fact, Merton passed by in spring and autumn. All kinds of fertilizers also include human and animal feces. These commonly used fattening methods in later generations are the most effective. Of course, it is not necessary to elaborate with Li Shimin one by one.

Li Shimin nodded slightly. It was really a good idea, although he was a little uncomfortable with the smell from his nose.

Merton went on: "the third boy thinks that the grain yield is bad because the sown seeds are eaten by pests and birds. As I said, I stir the seeds with a slightly toxic and pungent liquid to protect the seeds from being eaten by pests, resulting in reduced grain yield."

"If my guess is right, the fourth plot is to plant the seeds mixed with liquid medicine in the fattening field," Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Morton flattered.

"Then why not directly fatten all the fields and sow all the seeds mixed with liquid medicine. I believe you must know that the farmer's harvest planted by this method is the best." Li Shimin said with a flash in his eyes.

Merton bowed his head slightly and replied respectfully, "boy, although I'm 99% sure that this can increase production, I can't do it directly."

"I call this land the experimental field. These four small fields are the steps of the Mohist experiment. The experiment is the only way to discover the ink technology. The live fish secret technology, the Qu Yuan plow and the artificial incubation technology all come from the experiment step by step and finally succeed. Therefore, these four steps are to show the origin of the ink technology to the world."

"This is not only the experimental field of the farmers, but also the experimental field of the Mohists," Merton said proudly.
