After returning to Luoyang, Liu Ji had almost sorted out his thoughts.

I stayed up all night and worked hard all night long.

Early the next morning, Liu Ji, who had panda eyes, came to the Academy of Sciences with his new project proposal.

When Wang Ji saw the new plan on his desk, he felt a little confused.

He originally thought that Liu Hui would continue or quit, but he didn't expect that after just one night, he would directly start a new project?

Wang Ji lowered his head and glanced at the project title, research on the improvement of farmland fertility by various fertilizers.

Seeing this, Wang Ji couldn't help but shake his head.

This project seems unnecessary. They are all commonly used and already in use. If you can figure out which one is more effective in improving land fertility, what is the use of it?

Is it possible to just use whichever one works best?

This is simply putting the cart before the horse. The current reality is that the people have no choice but to use which one.

Even so, there is no guarantee that every acre of land can be taken care of.

As for the land that cannot be cared for, it is either left fallow or free-range. Just hoping to harvest more than the seeds sown, there is not much hope.

However, based on the principle of serious work.

Wang Ji still opened the project book and read it carefully.

Soon, Wang Ji discovered that this project was a little different from what he thought.

He is not going to study the effect of each method on the land, but to study whether the maximum effect can be achieved through superposition.

Because all the materials used are some basic materials, which are available everywhere, there is no need to buy them at all.

Therefore, if this project is successfully researched, it can be directly promoted. The actual significance will be far greater and more useful than building that mine.

"Do you really only need these things for this project?" Wang Ji glanced at the project plan at the end.

"Yes, teacher, this project only requires these things. In terms of personnel, the students currently have enough people. The most important thing is some experimental materials and venues." Liu Ji nodded seriously.

"Okay, I will coordinate the materials and venue. You go back and hand over the work, and prepare to lead people into the new project!" Wang Ji nodded directly and agreed to the project.

There is really no reason not to agree.

What materials does Liu Ji need?

Human and animal excrement is quite easy to find. You can just go to the Forbidden Army to get some. It is nothing more than asking the Forbidden Army to sell it for less money. It is not much money anyway. It is purely used to contribute to the agricultural construction of the empire.

There are both people and horses there, and we are trying to get some other livestock, such as cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules, chickens, dogs, etc.

These are the ones that require a bit of effort. The others are nothing more than straw, firewood and the like. Just find a place to cut some. If not, you can also find some by going to the warehouse.

Finally, there is fifty acres of land. Since it is experimental in nature, it does not need to be too much, and each piece of land must be spaced apart to make it easier to distinguish.

Basically, they are planted according to the proportion, and then the yield per acre of land is converted based on this proportion.

So, in fact, this project can be completed without any additional investment at all.

Of course, this is not correct. After all, the cost of labor and land is also money, but compared to projects that require direct investment of money from the court, this kind of project is simply too much to like.

The land issue is easy to solve. No matter where you are, there is official land.

The farming of official fields is more scientific than that of ordinary people. How many acres of land will be left fallow each year and which piece of land will be left fallow have been scheduled in advance.

Wang Ji asked someone to prepare an official document, mark it directly, and stamp it with the seal of the Academy of Sciences.

Liu Ji took it and went directly to the Luoyang Order, and the Luoyang Order allocated fifty acres of this year's fallow fields to them.

For the big man, there is one more department that cannot be messed with, and that is the Academy of Sciences.

For people like Liu Ji who come to ask for land with official documents, and the quantity is not large, local officials will not have much resistance.

And some people act like they want people to report them.

Due to the lack of funds, the people at the Academy of Sciences wish they could just steal money from the local government. Anyway, they can cheat you a little bit.

Just like if you want a piece of land, you must have a house, right?

How can I get there without a house?

Logically speaking, this money should have been provided by the Academy of Sciences, but the funds for the project were limited, so some shameless people shamelessly approached the local government and asked them to find people to help build houses or something.

If it weren't for the fact that the local government couldn't afford some equipment, they probably would have had to ask the local government to pay for it.

Regarding this phenomenon, local officials in Dahan were also troubled, but there was nothing they could do.

You could say he is shameless, they are indeed shameless.

But you have to admit that since these guys showed their power, local fiscal revenue has indeed increased, many new gadgets have come out, and many things have become more and more convenient.

How do you say that?

Regardless of money, we are still good friends...

This sentence is most appropriate to apply to local government and the Academy of Sciences.

After everything was settled, Liu Ji became even more ruthless and took his people with him, setting up tents and living in the wilderness.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of coal in the Academy of Sciences. Although the tent is not insulated, putting a thick layer of straw outside will have some effect.

By the way, [app] is really good and worth installing. After all, it can cache reading and read aloud offline!

Since it is winter now, the land cannot be moved, so manure and other things need to be left for a while.

Ever since, Liu Ji launched his ruthless energy again.

Mix human feces and plant ash evenly and put it in a pile!

Human feces was mixed with hay and put into a pile!

Human feces is mixed with soaked hay and then placed in a pile!

Anyway, he mixed the materials he had here one by one, first two, then three, then four.

Anyway, there are enough materials, and the single scale he created is not large, but the piles are just too many.

In the end, there were more than a hundred piles of various fertilizers. If each pile was not clearly marked with a sign, it would be really difficult to distinguish them clearly just because there were so many.

Now everything is ready, and construction can start in the spring of next year.

As for whether doing so much would be a waste, of course not.

Isn't scientific research a process of trial and error?

If you're lucky, you'll get it right once, if you're not lucky, you'll do it over and over again.
Chapter completed!
