Chapter 475

"Kill pests."

Many landlords present were overjoyed. In this era, land is the most precious wealth. As long as it is possible, no one is willing to give up their land. It can be said that 80% of the people present at the ink technology exhibition have land. Naturally, they know that in addition to natural disasters, pests are a huge factor in reducing grain production.

Every summer and autumn, when the crops are about to mature, there are large areas of aphids! Lying on the crops and sucking juice is like beating bones and sucking marrow. If the pest is serious, the grain production will be greatly reduced. Although there are beneficial insects to help, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Before that, everyone had no idea about pests. If they were field insects, they could only admit bad luck. However, Merton suddenly proposed pesticides to brighten their eyes.

Since these pests are also living creatures, they are naturally afraid of poisons. Wouldn't it be good to poison them? In this way, the pests must be completely eliminated.

Many representatives of Guanlong aristocratic family couldn't help but brighten their eyes. All along, the Mohist school has been actively promoting the governance of the Yellow River, limiting the continuous reclamation of land in Guanlong, which naturally limits the development of Guanlong.

Although the Mohist family has always promised to continue to increase food production, people are always skeptical. Now the emergence of pesticides proves that the Mohist family really keeps its promise, which makes the Guanlong family feel reassured.

Merton looked at the excited people of Chang'an city below. In fact, there are both herbicides and pesticides in future generations. However, under the limited conditions of Datang, Merton naturally can't do herbicides that only kill weeds. Moreover, there is grass in the field. Farmers can pull it out if they work harder.

But pests and diseases are not. Once pests and diseases appear, the whole field is dense and numerous. Farmers are helpless and can only obey their fate.

However, with the emergence of pesticides, pests and diseases are no longer a difficult problem. The pathology of plants and insects is different. As long as pesticides are not used excessively, they can poison pests and have no impact on plants.

"This time, Mojia village produces two kinds of pesticides, one is evenly mixed on the seeds before sowing, which can prevent birds and insects from eating and improve the budding rate, and the other is a pesticide specially used to kill pests. You can imagine that a farmland sprouts evenly and has weeds, which farmers pull out. When it is dry, set up kill wells for irrigation, and kill all insects with pesticides, Can such farmland produce high yield? "Murton shouted.

"Yes!"

Suddenly everyone responded excitedly. If such a field does not produce high yield, it is simply unreasonable.

"Hoo!"

Many people breathed suddenly, and their eyes became hot when they looked at the pesticide in Merton's hands. In the eyes of ordinary people, they avoided the poison like snakes and scorpions. At the moment, they seem to be priceless.

The two Confucian scholars, tall and short, looked at each other and couldn't help being bitter. Who could have thought that mojiazi had such a Jedi counterattack. In this way, mojiazi not only completely cleared the accusation of poison, but also made great contributions to the opposition.

"Mo Jiazi, no matter how good your idea is, it is difficult to implement it. How can you sprinkle such a small bottle of poison... Pesticides all over such a large farmland at the venue?" the tall Confucian provocatively said.

Many people were stunned and suddenly looked up at Merton. The reason for killing pests with poison is very simple, not that others have never thought about it. However, one of the biggest problems is how to sprinkle these pesticides evenly on such a large farmland.

However, when Merton heard the speech, he immediately showed a knowing smile.

"Ink technology!"

A word suddenly came to all hearts.

Sure enough, Merton took out a strange shaped iron bucket from behind. As soon as he lifted his arm and exerted a little force, he carried the strange shaped iron bucket behind him.

"This is a spray specially designed for pesticides by the Mohist. It can carry thirty pounds of water at a time. As long as adults can carry it back, add the right amount of pesticide into the water. A little bit of pressure can emit water mist from the hand tube, and a bucket of water is enough to spray one mu of land." It spewed out bursts of water mist.

"That's all?"

Many people looked at bursts of water mist and immediately exclaimed. No one thought it was so simple.

"Why didn't we think of it?" many people regretted.

"This is not simple!" Li Shimin shook his head. He saw clearly that the core of the sprayer was the pressure bar on the left hand side of Merton. It was a small killing well. The well killing was the first creation of Mohist, and it was the greatest hero who made the drought for Datang.

I'm afraid the whole world, in addition to mojiazi, who can think of carrying the kill on his back.

"So it is?"

The more people understand the principle of spray, they are not conquered by the Mohist's whimsy.

"Well, the principle of this spray is to kill well, keep pace with the times and innovate. This is the slogan of the first ink exhibition, but not only for a year and a half, but for the purpose of Mohist school!" Morton bowed himself around.

"See what you see! Mozi is worthy of Mozi!" the merchant in black couldn't help praising him.

Sure enough, it is still a strong Mohist style. It enlarges ordinary small things and shrinks large things. This is a trick commonly used by Mohists, and it has been tried repeatedly.

Li Shimin couldn't help staring at Merton's head. He thought of enlarging Kongming lamp into a hot-air balloon. He saw that burning a pot of hot water could invent heating. Now he even reduced the kill well behind his back. Such a slight change would have an incredible effect. It's really amazing.

Li Shimin stared at Merton. Even if he didn't like Merton again, he had to sigh that the Mohists did have a smart head. Fortunately, these are ordinary things, but they are still within the scope of people's understanding. Otherwise, he really wanted to see how Merton's brain is so different from others,

A lot of businessmen are in the mood. This pesticide and sprayer will definitely make the Tang Dynasty hot. This is a great business opportunity. If we buy goods from Mohist village and send it to all parts of Datang, it will be a steady business. Suddenly, many sharp businessmen suddenly breathe quickly.

A smile appeared on Li Shimin's face. In this way, Merton not only resolved the rumors of making poison, but also brought the agriculture of Datang to a higher level.

Food is the most important thing for the people. As an emperor, he the importance of natural food. Any method that can increase food production is valuable, especially the direct increase of 50 kg per mu. When he thought of Merton's cold figures to calculate the number of people in the Tang Dynasty in a hundred years, Li Shimin was uneasy. Merton's pesticides can be said to provide carbon in the snow.

Ordinary people found a way to solve farmland pests, businessmen saw business opportunities, and Li Shimin saw the rising yield per mu of the whole Datang in the future. Only the first ink skill was enough to make the whole audience shout that it was a worthwhile trip.

Ink technology exhibition immediately made a good start.
