Was there a need to calculate this?
There was no need to do this at all!
Until now, the Imperial Plantation had been piled up like a mountain on his desk, as well as the summary of production from the Ministry of Works.
Every day, he would read it at least ten times. .
How could he not know?
However, at this moment, when Zhang Feng said this, he hurriedly did the calculations. .
He really found a problem.
That was, the production of all the fields was decreasing year by year!
Although it wasn't a lot, when it was tallied up, it really gave Li Shimin a big fright.
How did this thing become like this?
"Could it be that vinegar grew in the soil?"
？？？
This question left Zhang Feng dumbfounded.
He did not know what to say next.
This way of understanding was really … strange!
Zhang Feng thought about it for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "No, I say, Old Li, your way of thinking is really awesome!"
"However, the acidity I was talking about is not this acidity. If I say too much, you won't understand. Go back and ask Old Fang, then ask your son and the others, and they will understand!"
"Now, let's talk about the problem of the land. Basically, the rich families will apply a lot of fertilizer to their fields every year. Ordinary people who have livestock will also apply fertilizer to their fields. But what about those who don't have these things? What will they do? "
"They can only add fire to the fields and treat it as fertilizer. However, in the long run, the fields will slowly produce some things that are not good for the farmers."
"These things will seriously reduce the yield. As for the phosphate fertilizer I mentioned, its greatest benefit is to reduce the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, allowing the farmers to better absorb the nutrients in the soil. Also, look at this thing."
As Zhang Feng spoke, he threw away the wheat seeds that had just been planted in the soil. The wheat seeds were still wrapped in a layer of bran and plant ash, making the originally small wheat seeds look as big as a fingernail.
Li Shimin could not help but ask curiously, "You are talking about wheat seeds?"
Zhang Feng didn't say anything. Instead, he motioned for Li Shimin to peel off the thing.
When Li Shimin peeled off the bran and the ashes, he was shocked.
There really were wheat seeds inside.
"Didn't you just say that the ash will increase the acidity of the soil? Why did you get this thing again? "
Zhang Feng was speechless. He pointed at the phosphate fertilizer that had not been completely diluted and said, "But I have this!"
"Also, the seeds are wrapped in plant ash. On the one hand, they can kill the eggs and let them escape the sharp teeth of the insects and birds. This is a form of protection, understand?"
"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you more. After all, you haven't properly farmed before. When you have time, come and chat with Old Gao more. I think he knows more than you. Oh right, there's also that Ma Zhou. That kid is a talent and is competent in this aspect. "Hey!"
Ma Zhou?
Li Shimin couldn't help but silently remember this name.
After Zhang Feng thoroughly explained the pros and cons of wheat seeds to Li Shimin, he finally couldn't stand the smell anymore.
He hurriedly returned to the villa. Zhang Feng seriously doubted how Old Gao could tolerate this smell.
When he returned to the villa, Jingshu came back with a big basket of wild mushrooms. When Zhang Feng saw the matsutake mushrooms in the basket, he couldn't help but feel hungry.
He excitedly hugged Jingshu and kissed her.
"Hahaha, Lao Li, you really came at the right time. Look at our virtuous wife. She went out to play for a while and got us such high-quality ingredients!"
Li Shimin: "…"
Jingshu: "…"
"Alright! Today, we are in a good mood. I will go and cook some dishes. You guys wait, I will be back soon. Oh right, Shiva, quickly get someone to go down the mountain and get me a piece of tenderloin. I want it fresh! "
"…"
Li Shimin was still immersed in the vast and beautiful scenery that Zhang Feng had described.
At this time, he could already imagine the scene half a year later even without Zhang Feng's reminder. …
The more he thought about it, the more Li Shimin felt that this thing was worth promoting. In this way, in half a year's time, would the Tang Dynasty still be lacking in food?
Food was the foundation of everyone's foothold. Once there was no food, the first to be unable to bear it were the people.
Once the citizens were uneasy, what Zhang Feng had said earlier about how water could carry a boat, but it could also capsize it. Moreover, Zhang Feng had also said that there would be a locust plague next year that would be even more serious than this year's.
The significance of the autumn planting this time was extraordinary. …
Not only was it life-saving food, but it was also the key to stabilizing the country!
When he thought of this, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian, who was standing in the living room. He couldn't help but feel angry. With a gloomy face, he slapped Li Chengqian's face and said coldly, "Are you awake now?"
Li Chengqian: "…"
"If you are awake, then grind for me!"
Jingshu was shocked when she heard the word 'me'.
She subconsciously turned to look at the kitchen. Seeing that Zhang Feng was still busy in the kitchen, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that the Emperor and Prince Zhang had already laid their cards on the table, but now it seemed that the Emperor still didn't want to!
However, Jingshu's interest was piqued.
After all, there were not many opportunities to see the Emperor's calligraphy up close!
