After ten days' rest at home, it's time to go to work. On his first day at work, Xue Lang went to the fields to see the growing crops, and then went to the farm to inspect the situation of the farm.

Pig house, chicken house, duck house, goose house, etc. have been built, and earthworms in stone trough have been raised according to Xue Lang's instructions. With the temperature gradually rising, earthworms will grow faster and longer, but there is no such a short time can be the point.

In weizeguan, there are many people raising sheep. Sheep don't need to be raised. Therefore, the farms breed pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and fish ponds on a large scale.

In the early stage, earthworms had not yet been released, and the materials used were small fish, shrimp and various water snails from fishponds. Water snails are a lot of parasites. If you want to feed pigs, you must first dry them and then grind them into powder. When they are mixed into pig food, they can not only supplement protein but also calcium. However, after a short period of more than ten days, the pigs raised in the pen have changed.

In order to keep up with the consumption in the farm, after collecting enough earthworms, the military again issued a notice to purchase various kinds of small fish, shrimps and water snails from the society for two Wen a catty. In weizeguan, a well-developed water system, there are few people who want small fish, shrimp, loach and so on. Nowadays, some people are willing to pay for it. Only the old and children go fishing, they can earn a strong labor income.

After the earthworm can be used, Xue Lang also plans to dry and grind the powder before feeding. Although this will certainly increase the consumption of earthworm, it can minimize the risk of parasites and diseases.

It's the vegetable leaves that feed pigs. Xue Lang is also allowed to cook before feeding. Pigs are easy to grow parasites. Cooked food feeding can greatly reduce the harm of parasites.

Wan Siming carried out all these things according to Xue Lang's instructions. Wan Siming has an advantage. He has the Confucian point of view of this era. He has a good sense of public interest for the country and the people. He does not make arbitrary opinions. He can faithfully carry out all kinds of orders and orders of Xue Lang.

"You've done a good job. The effect of the measures is better than expected. Let's take a look at the fish pond."

Xue Lang praises Wan Siming. The expression on WAN Siming's face shows excitement. Recently, most of the big movements of the reed gate were related to the presence of Xue, who knew that the support of the Royal Highness was a great help.

When the foreign plough was promoted, Wan Siming, who worked with him, was praised. This Xue Zhubo never spared no effort in sharing the merits. As long as he followed him, he never treated him unfairly.

On the other side of the fish pond, after washing and disinfecting the pond according to Xue Lang's instructions, lotus root seeds have been planted. Carp and crucian carp are now put in the fish pond. Before the lotus root grows up, other fish species have not been placed for a long time.

Lotus root and fish polyculture, pay attention to a variety of stocking and stocking order, put wrong, will hurt lotus root, may lose blood. Before lotus root does not grow enough leaves, we can only release planktonic fish, such as carp and crucian carp. Grass carp will eat lotus bud. Wait for a month or two before putting silver carp. Wait for the lotus root to grow for a few months, then put grass carp.

Lotus root and these kinds of fish are all like to fertilize water, often topdressing, but also often disinfect the pond.

For the sake of the farm, Princess Pingyang transferred 15 families from Chuang Tzu under her name. All of them were good at farming. They were practical and capable. They were in charge of the farm at ordinary times. When there was a shortage of manpower in the farm, people were transferred from the soldiers.

Xue Lang engaged in ecological agriculture in modern times. In addition to hiring special technicians to teach him, in order to minimize the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, he has also chewed on books such as Qimin Yaoshu and Tiangong Kaiwu.

The book Qi Min Yao Shu was written in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The farming techniques were similar to those at that time. When Xue Lang pointed out and corrected the book, all his words were justified. Otherwise, he was a delicate person who had no farming experience and could not convince the public.

When they heard what he said, one of the fifteen families, whose surname was Zhao, couldn't help but say, "listen to master Xue's words, farming is also a kind of knowledge."

Xue Lang said: "everything in the world can be regarded as a kind of knowledge to be professional and dedicated. Farming is the foundation of a country. In fact, it has been a discipline for a long time, but it is not systematic. If we can gather the world's good farmers, sort out a Book of agriculture, and print it widely, the harvest will certainly increase by at least 10%

Uncle Zhao said with a smile: "the old man doesn't understand what Xue Zhubo said, and the old man can't read. If someone teaches the old man farming like Xue Zhubo, the old man is still willing to learn. Who doesn't want to get more food?"

Wan Siming interposed: "that's the reason. It's useless to have good books if you can't read. Besides, it's not easy to print a book. What's more, Xue Zhubo said that it would be difficult to do it in his lifetime. "

It is also true that even in modern times, scientific methods of farming have only been gradually popularized. A large number of agricultural technicians have gone to the countryside to guide them, which is also something only happened in recent years. Although the imperial court attached importance to agriculture, it was impossible to separate agriculture into a discipline. In this era, most of the literati mastered the knowledge of writing. The gentry did not need to cultivate themselves, so they did not need the so-called agricultural books. What's more, the present productivity is not enough to train a large number of professional agricultural researchers. However, some of the gentry with surplus labor force are not worthy of studying it.They all have the times and social background. However, anything that involves the times and social background can not be changed overnight. No matter how good the policy is, there is no way out if it does not conform to the trend of the times.

After a long day at the farm, Xue Lang didn't go home until dinner time. Jiang Lin followed Xue Lang in silence this day, holding his stick. When he didn't speak, he had almost no sense of existence.

Go home and wash and wait for the servants to serve. Xue Lang said with a smile, "do you feel bored today? At present, what I am mainly responsible for is these affairs. There are many people who are dealing with them. They are very trivial. Actually, as long as I can't get out of the Princess House and camp, there is almost no danger. You can follow the training of the princess's army and learn about military administration.

Jiang Lin said: "I'm so bored that I just look at my elder brother's freedom of identity. No matter who I talk to, I can talk freely. I don't feel uncomfortable. It's quite different from the people of the time. When they met these sergeants and old peasants, their attitude was quite noble. They were afraid that they would pollute him with more words. "

Xue Lang said with a smile: "on this point, my views are different from those of the time. In my opinion, identity is not only the most useless thing, but also the most fundamental thing. "

"Big brother's words are quite contradictory and quite different from what I have read in the book."

Jiang Lin is obviously a studious young man. Since Xue Lang had made a vow to him, he didn't mind teaching him more. Life should learn book knowledge, but it was more than book knowledge. Books teach you the experience and knowledge of our predecessors, but everyone is different. Some people will learn to use them, while others will not. This is the biggest essential difference between people.
