Wang Wenkai said, "Your Highness, this is a new flying kite. I only need three days. After three days, I can make a new flying kite and test it. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "You will be in charge of making the flying kites. However, there will be a lot of equipment in the residence that you will need to work on. You will need to hand over the work that you are making at home in these few days. After that, you will go to the residence to do the roll call. "
"Yes!"
Wang Wenkai nodded and replied.
Wang Wenkai had no objections to Du Qi's arrangement. After all, he had to go to the residence to do things.
Du Qi said, "Let's go back."
"Yes!"
Wang Wenkai replied again.
After going down the mountain, Wang Wenkai went to pick up the fallen wood kites. Du Qi left the Wang residence with Mordor and returned to the location of the examination. However, when Du Qi returned to the location of the examination, at least half of the people there had left.
After all, there were 30 groups of people doing the examination.
There were too many people who were not qualified.
These people naturally had to be rejected. There were not many people who passed the preliminary examination. Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others needed to gather everyone for a review. Moreover, people like Wang Wenkai and Tang Zhongsheng were in the minority, not the majority. Only a very rare few would be sent directly to Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng.
Du Qi returned to the back and asked, "How's the situation?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "Ever since Her Highness left, many people have come to recommend themselves, but in reality, there are very few people who are truly powerful and have skills."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Talents are hard to come by. It's impossible for countless capable people to appear at once. It's already a great fortune to find a few talents. What's more, having Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai is already a blessing. "
Dan Yangzi said with a bitter expression, "Your Highness, am I so weak that I can't enter Your Highness's eyes?"
He was somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, he was an expert.
One had to know that in the Northwest Border, especially in a region like Yiwu City, many people revered him. But now, Du Qi mentioned Wang Wenkai and Tang Zhongsheng, but ignored him.
Upon hearing Dan Yangzi's words, Du Qi smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot about you, Daoist Priest Dan Yangzi. Daoist Priest Dan Yangzi is also a talent, but your talent is a bit unorthodox. Right now, we need you to make more political achievements. "
Dan Yangzi promised, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This humble Daoist will definitely do it. Furthermore, I also have some influence in the western region of Yizhou. It will play a certain role in His Highness' expansion to the west. "
Du Qi said, "I'll wait and see."
Dan Yangzi said, "I won't disappoint Your Highness."
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Yi Fusheng came again.
He came to Du Qi's side and reported, "Your Highness, I've discovered another talent. This person's name is Kun Da, and he's best at farming and growing grains. According to him, the grains he grows can increase the yield by at least 30%. I think Kun Da will be very helpful to the farming of Yizhou, so I ask Your Highness to summon him immediately. "
Du Qi raised his brows and looked pleasantly surprised as he said, "Bring him here."
"Yes!"
Yi Fusheng immediately arranged it after receiving the order.
Not long after, Kun Da was brought over.
Kun Da had a dark complexion, short stature, and short stature. His face was extremely simple and honest, but his eyes were full of spirit.
Such a person was not a fool.
When Kun Da saw Du Qi, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "This humble one greets Your Highness Ping Xiwang."
Yesterday, Kun Da saw Du Qi outside the city gate and heard Du Qi's words, so he came. If it weren't for Du Qi's words, Kun Da would never have come.
He didn't have the guts to come.
Du Qi nodded and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Kun Da stood up with an excited look on his face. However, there was more awe and nervousness on his face. Because in front of Du Qi, his identity was too humble, so he was very nervous.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "I heard from Yi Fusheng that you're good at farming, and that the harvest of the grains you grow can increase by at least 30%. Is that true?"
"Yes!"
Kun Da answered with certainty.
Du Qi said, "This King is curious, how do you farm? Is there a trick to it? "
Farming, Du Qi had never done it himself.
The problem was that he had many skills in his mind, and there were many books about farming, so Du Qi naturally knew the method.
Kun Da replied, "Your Highness, the reason why this humble one is confident of increasing the yield by 30% is mainly because of four aspects. If every aspect is good, everything will be easier to succeed. "
Du Qi said, "Give me a general idea."
Kun Da immediately said, "The first aspect is weeding in the field. If weeds are piled up in the field, they will compete with the seedlings for nutrients. The seedlings that grow in the end will definitely be thin and small, unable to grow healthily."
"The second aspect is to plow the soil. If the soil is not plowed, although the seedlings can survive, the soil is stiff and not conducive to the growth of the roots, and the nutrients captured will not be enough. "
"The third aspect is to irrigate and fertilize. If feces is used, it will naturally be good. The problem is that even if there is livestock feces, it is impossible to supply all of it, and you have to make it yourself. In this, you need some ashes after burning firewood, dried weeds, and a small amount of livestock feces mixed according to a certain ratio to form the nutrients for watering the seedlings. "
"The fourth aspect is to ensure that the seedlings are densely distributed after they grow up. Once there are too many seedlings, you have to remove a part of the seedlings. It can't be too dense or too loose. "
When Kun Da talked about what he was good at, he spoke frankly with assurance, without the slightest bit of stage fright. It was to the extent that even the reverence and nervousness from before had disappeared along with it.
What replaced it was confidence.
It was focus.
Du Qi saw this and nodded his head. The people of Kunda were indeed not simple.
He was very good.
Du Qi did not disturb and let Kun Da continue. Kun Da continued, "Your Highness, in fact, the four aspects just now are the principles that apply everywhere. No matter what is planted, it can be improved."
"It can be improved by at least 30%."
"But more specifically, that is to target the characteristics of each food crop. For example, if you are planting wheat, then you have to understand the characteristics of the wheat. For example, if you are planting soybeans, then you have to understand the growth habits of soybeans. Or if you are planting grapes, then you have to adjust the grapes every year … "
Kun Da said seriously, "In short, this is not an easy task. You have to understand each crop in detail before you can truly understand it."
"Not bad, not bad!"
Du Qi heard this and laughed.
Kun Da was not simple.
Such a person must be recruited, because such a person under Du Qi's command could promote the development of agriculture.
Food was the most important thing for the people.
If the people could not even fill their stomachs, there would definitely be problems.
Du Qi said, "Kun Da, are you willing to work in the prince's mansion?"
Kun Da said, "Your Highness, I am willing. But I'm afraid my identity will not allow it. "
Du Qi asked, "Why?"
Kun Da replied, "The reason is very simple. I am a slave. I am a slave, and I can't leave without permission. So on this point, I'm afraid Your Highness will have to arrange for someone to come forward. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to get away and work in the prince's mansion. "
In the Western Region, slaves were very common.
Many rich families had slaves, and in a place like the Western Region, the slave trade was even more popular.
After hearing this, Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi and ordered, "Mr. Liu, arrange for someone to go back with Kun Da and explain the matter clearly. En, pay what should be paid. In short, redeem him and let him become free so that he can work in the prince's mansion. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "I understand."
Immediately, Liu Zhengxi called the aide beside him and let the aide and Kun Da deal with the matter together. In Liu Zhengxi's opinion, this was a small matter. After all, not many people dared to be enemies with the prince's mansion.
Du Qi simply stayed here in the morning and waited with the others. However, after discovering Kun Da, there was no one who was particularly outstanding. In fact, Du Qi even selected the information of some people who passed the preliminary examination, but was greatly disappointed after reading it.
Because these people who passed were too ordinary, and there was nothing outstanding about them.
After lunch, Du Qi left.
There was no use in keeping them.
In the afternoon, Du Qi stayed in the residence. Because Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and the others were in charge of the entrance exam, Du Qi was free and didn't have any troublesome matters to deal with.
In the evening, when Du Qi was eating, a servant came in to report that Liu Zhengxi had arrived.
Du Qi immediately invited Liu Zhengxi in. After learning that Liu Zhengxi had not eaten, he asked Liu Zhengxi to eat with him. While eating, Du Qi asked, "Mr. Liu, tell me, what's the matter?"
