"Well, I didn't expect that we could see not only the amazing farm secret skills, but also such a treasure Wei Zi. If elder Hu really transplanted it successfully, I will be like the imperial court to ask for merit for you." Zhou Hongde said solemnly.
The people around also shouted wonderful. They didn't expect to see not only the amazing sea of flowers, but also the secret skills of farmers. They really didn't need to go here.
Zheng Chang and Zheng family flower farmers could not help gnashing their teeth. However, before the last moment, they would not admit their failure. However, when they saw a four-wheel truck pulling a huge peony, they couldn't help sinking their hearts.
"Sure enough, it's Wei Zi!" Zhou Hongde saw the peony on the four-wheel truck. It's medium high, semi developed, beautiful and generous. The branches are thick and short. There are several bright purple flowers. People can't help but marvel at it at a glance.
However, everyone is worried about this Wei Zi. After all, this Wei Zi is now on a four-wheel truck and has obviously been dug out of the soil. If the so-called farmhouse secret is false, this Wei Zi will be completely abandoned.
"What a terrible thing!" Zheng's Florist was distressed.
"Wrong, it's the old man. This Wei Zi is back in the sky." Hu daonong said proudly. With a big hand, the four-wheel truck opened in all directions, revealing the root of Wei Zi. However, they found that there was a huge soil layer wrapped, and the soil layer was wrapped by heavy hemp rope.
"This is..."
"Even a piece of soil has been dug!"
"Isn't the soil still falling apart? Oh! It must be the hemp rope wrapped around the soil layer that played a role."
…………………………
Everyone talked and suddenly realized.
"This is the so-called farmer's secret skill." Zheng's flower farmer opened his eyes.
Hu daonong proudly said: "It is well known that if the peony is rooted and transplanted, it will certainly hurt the vitality of the peony. Hu has studied the peony for many years and found that this is because it is not the thick roots of the peony that really absorb nutrients, but the small terminal roots. Once the soil is lifted, these terminal roots will be destroyed and cause damage to the peony. Now we will destroy the roots of the peony All the soil rises without damaging the terminal roots. The survival rate of peony and the rate of flower setting in the coming year are naturally higher. This is the latest secret of farm transplantation. "
"How could it be so simple?" Zheng Huanong didn't dare to buy a channel. Naturally, he could see from his eyes that this policy must be feasible. He didn't expect that the secret technique of peony transplantation should be so simple. Why didn't he think of it? If he took the lead in thinking that he would become famous today, not Hu daonong.
Unfortunately, there is no if in the world. At this moment, Hu daonong has become an expert in the peasant family and was ordered by Luoyang to be listed in the imperial court. However, the power he pursues in his life is easily obtained by Hu daonong. How can he be reconciled.
Hu daonong shook his head and said, "it's not that simple. If it was so simple, I'm afraid it would have been known long ago."
"Please also ask Mr. Hu to solve my doubts." Zhou Hongde asked for advice.
Hu daonong solemnly said: "the reason why we failed to discover this method before is that first, we failed to discover the role of the terminal root system. Second, the root soil is extremely heavy, which is not conducive to soil and transplantation. Now with the thousand catty arm produced by the Mohist school, we can easily complete this work, and this transplantation secret came into being."
Zhou Hongde looked at the kilo arm on the four-wheel truck and nodded. The root of this plant Wei Zi is a lot of soil. I'm afraid it's difficult to transport by manpower alone.
Zheng family flower farmers feel a little better. They can't help admiring Hu daonong's good luck and clinging to the relationship of Mohism. However, seeing the black face of their master Zheng Chang, they immediately put away their envious eyes.
"In addition, there are ten core technologies for transplanting flowers. As long as we follow this way, not only flowers, but also other trees. Hu heard that the county Lord is going to afforest Luoyang. However, planting trees alone may take a long time, but if we directly transplant trees that have been growing for many years, we can certainly reap miraculous results in a short time." Hu daonong said solemnly.
"Seriously?" Zhou Hongde's eyes suddenly burst out. Before that, he had been worried that the greening of Luoyang city had lagged behind Chang'an City for one year. Only then did he strongly support Luoyang Peony Fair and prepare to save face. However, Hu daonong's proposal just now excited him. In this way, the greening of Luoyang City can surely catch up with Chang'an city.
"After the villain transplanted this Wei Zi, Lord Zhou naturally understood that even famous flowers with such harsh growth conditions can be transplanted, not to mention living trees." Hu daonong said, leading the people to open an already prepared pit in the middle of the Princess Garden.
Merton and Hu daonong knew that the transplant of peonies would be discovered and questioned sooner or later. They had prepared for today's event. At the same time, in order to publicize the secret skills of farm transplantation, they didn't expect to use it so soon.
Zheng Huanong was convinced of the secret of transplantation, but his eyes focused on Hu daonong's every move.
"If you want to have a high survival rate of peony, you should also sparse branches and leaves. Even if you transplant peony, no matter how much soil is Tuo, there will still be some loss. Some side details will be cut off to prevent consuming too much nutrition and maintain water balance." Hu daonong said, mercilessly cut off the Wei purple branches without flowers, and some even cut off some dense flower buds without flowering.
The onlookers felt a pang of heartache. This was Wei Zi, a treasure of Luoyang. Ordinary people had no chance to see it in previous years, but now it was cut off by Hu daonong without hesitation.
Zheng Chang could not help but signal Zheng's flower farmer to attack, but Zheng shook his head. This is the usual policy of transplantation, which can't be more correct.
"In addition, we should also plant the peony in shallow cultivation. If it is buried too deep, the peony will not take root and will also damage the peony. Moreover, when transplanting, when digging the pit, it must be about three times the lump soil. When cultivating the peony in high cultivation, we must use the cultivated mature soil to realize the intention of changing the soil between the peony roots." Hu daonong solemnly introduced it, pointing to the excavated pit.
All the people around me thought and felt enlightened. No wonder they often transplanted dead peonies. Compared with Hu daonong's method, they were too simple and rough.
"But you've dug a big hole," retorted the Zheng florist.
Hu daonong showed a trace of pride and said, "that's because there is still a crucial step before planting. We can't let the flowers and trees sink, otherwise they will become deep planting. We can put some sand and stones at the root to prevent sinking, and we can also let the drainage and ventilation. Unless it's rainstorm for days, we won't drown the flower roots."
"Put the stones!" the crowd watched as Hu daonong instructed the Mohist children to put a bucket of sand and stones into the pit. It was an unheard of operation.
Only the Zheng Florist on one side was thoughtful. Once he transplanted a peony treasure Yao Huang. He thought he had done everything safe, but in the end, he was defeated. Now when he heard Hu daonong's new transplantation secret, he suddenly realized that maybe he was defeated in this step.
"After these preparations, we can transplant peonies." Hu daonong said solemnly, commanding the Mohist children to control the kilo arm, easily lift Wei Zi on the carriage and slowly put it into the pit. This process takes a very short time, is extremely relaxed, and does not damage the root system at all.
People could not help nodding. With the tools of Mohism, it was much easier to transplant trees.
"The next step is to fill in the conflict. However, there is a crucial misunderstanding here. I'm afraid nine of the ten people are recruited, and those who are not recruited are still lazy." Hu daonong rarely smiled.
People were immediately puzzled.
Hu daonong explained: "that is, when backfilling soil, we must step on it. Otherwise, if the tree roots and soil can not be tightly combined, it will affect the rooting. In fact, this statement is wrong."
"Wrong!" the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. You know, this is what countless people do when transplanting peonies. I'm afraid only a few lazy people won't step on the transplanted roots.
Hu daonong solemnly nodded and said, "yes, we just need to backfill the soil. If we are afraid of soil sinking, we just need to cultivate the soil at all. In this way, the survival rate of peony is higher.
Zheng Jiahua farmer couldn't help sweating. He clearly remembered that in order to make Yao Huang take root better, he stepped on the soil again and again. Now it seems that he stepped on Yao Huang one foot at a time.
"It's ridiculous. The peony just transplanted has no roots. If you don't step on the soil, a slight breeze will blow it down, which will cause secondary damage and hurt the peony more." Zheng's flower farmer retorted.
People nodded one after another. The reason why they stepped on a few feet was that they were afraid that the newly transplanted peony would be blown down by the wind.
Hu daonong showed a trace of pride and said, "so the next step is to fix the transplanted peony externally to prevent shaking and damaging the root."
With Hu daonong's command, several Mohist children came forward one after another. The long wooden sticks tied the trunk of Wei Zi, which had just been transplanted, and firmly fixed it on the ground.
"External fixation!" Zheng Huanong was stunned. He never thought of such a simple method. "
Other people also suddenly realized that these things were very simple, but no one thought of doing them.
"Mr. Hu is really an expert farmer! In this way, there will be no problem in Luoyang Peony transplantation in the future." Zhou Hongde laughed loudly, and his heart was very happy.
Hu daonong shook his head and said, "Peony transplantation depends on planting in three and management in seven. If you want this plant of Wei Zi to continue to bloom next year, you still need a lot of later management. Please see, Lord Zhou. If you punch holes in the root of this plant, you can make it breathable and humidified."
Zhou Hongde followed Hu daonong's direction and nodded when he saw a copper pipe quietly left by the children of the Mohists when backfilling.
"In addition to routine management, daily watering is also the top priority. In addition to replenishing water outside the roots, it is also necessary to replenish water in the rhizosphere of peony. Even if it is even cloudy, it is necessary to keep out the rain to prevent it from retting the flower roots............................." Hu daonong revealed all the transplant secrets one by one, which can't help ordinary people. Even Zheng family flower farmers are stunned if they listen to the book of heaven, Compared with Hu daonong, he doesn't understand flowers at all.
"Well, I'm an eye opener today! I'm sure to show the secret technique of transplanting to the imperial court. In this way, it will be a blessing for flower farmers all over the world!" Zhou Hongde's depression was cleared away. In this way, the peony transplanting secret technique cooperated by Mohist and peasant families perfectly solved the problem of peony transplanting, which naturally did not destroy the theory of peony, not only did it not damage the reputation of the Peony Fair, On the contrary, because of the new secret technique of peony transplantation, the fame of the Peony Fair has been raised to a higher level.
What he valued more was the importance of this technology for transplanting large trees, which was related to his political achievements. As a result, his eyes to Zheng Chang suddenly became a little more bad.
Zheng Chang suddenly jumped in his heart. Zhou Hongde can stand firmly in the position of Luoyang order, but he is not an ordinary official. Offending Zhou Hongde is not a good end.
"You son of a bitch, you should stir up dissension and deceive me." Zheng Chang suddenly changed his face and kicked Zheng's flower farmer.
"Ah! Young master, spare your life!" the Zheng family flower farmer immediately said.
"My Lord, I'm also deceived by this dog slave. Only then can I dare to question the Peony Fair and ask you to observe it clearly." after Zheng Chang dumped the pot flower farmer, he wanted to bow down to Zhou Hongde.
Zhou Hongde looked at Zheng Chang unkindly. He naturally knew that Zheng open was the main messenger behind him, but he could only point the spear at the Zheng family flower farmer on the side and said, "this man maliciously slandered the Peony Flower Club and had a sinister intention. Someone came to beat him up and drive him out of Luoyang."
"Ah!" Zheng's Florist was immediately blank, but he was ruthlessly dragged out by the Yamen.
Zhou Hongde looked coldly at Zheng Chang and his sons and said, "peony is the symbol of Luoyang, and the Peony Fair is a grand event in Luoyang. No matter who dares to do anything harmful to the interests of Luoyang, I will treat them equally and punish them."
Zheng Chang and others immediately jumped their eyelids and quickly bowed down to plead guilty: "villains are also from Luoyang. How can they do anything harmful to Luoyang."
"I don't want to hear any more oral promises. I want to see the actual sincerity." Zhou Hongde pointed out.
Zheng was stunned, then woke up and said, "don't worry, sir. After going back, we will open the peony garden of the Zheng family for the people to watch freely."
However, Zhou Hongde was unmoved and looked coldly at the people next to Zheng Chang. You should know that Zheng Chang had more than one peony garden in his hand, and the scale of the peony garden of the others was not inferior.
Several others nodded helplessly and said, "don't worry, sir. We are also willing to open the peony garden for Luoyang villagers to enjoy freely."
Zhou Hongde's face slowed down a little., So many peony gardens are fully open, which will certainly make the Peony Fair better.
Seeing this, Merton couldn't help but show a bad smile and said: "several people have private peony gardens. It can be seen that they must be aristocratic giants. As the saying goes, once they enter the giants, they are as deep as the sea. I'm afraid ordinary people don't dare to set foot in them!"
As soon as he entered the rich family, it was as deep as the sea. Zhou Hongde's eyes flashed. He almost fell into the stratagem of several people.
Zheng Chang and others immediately hated. The MOH family was so hateful that they forced each other so hard. At present, they could only gnash their teeth and say, "when I go back, I will demolish all the walls like half of the mohou."
Zheng Chang's heart is dripping blood. There are many peony treasures in the peony garden of the Zheng family. They are most loved by him. Originally, they can only be enjoyed by him alone, but now they can only be viewed by others.
The others were also in a state of mourning. This time they lost too much.
Zhou Hongde nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm very satisfied with your mind. I've heard that you have countless Peony Garden Treasures. The people will surely gather one after another. In order to prevent the people from crowding, I'll send yamen servants to maintain order tomorrow to prevent chaos."
As soon as Zheng Chang heard this, his intestines were green with regret. Zhou Hongde sent a Yamen to guard against chaos. I'm afraid it's to supervise them.
"Yes!" Zheng Chang said helplessly, so he had to leave in dismay.
Suddenly, the people around burst into laughter, which was very gratifying.
