Chapter 24 Based on Beichuan, enriching the people and raising soldiers
Without love, how can there be hatred! If you don't love to the extreme, how could you target someone so deliberately! Xue Xichen has always been modest and polite in treating others, how could she be so bitter and sharp and deliberately target someone!
Obviously, she loved Feng Qingge to the extreme and hated her to the extreme!
Feng Qingge smiled instead of being annoyed, and asked humbly: "Aunt Xue, I don't know where Qingge offended you... Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
The more modest Feng Qingge is, the more unreasonable and petty she seems to be. She hates Feng Qingge to death! Feng Qingge, this damn nigger! This damned murderer! She absolutely cannot let Xiao Liuyue have sex with Feng Qingge.
It’s time to sing!
No matter how affectionate and regretless Feng Qingge said, she believed that Feng Qingge was just using Xue Meitong as an excuse to deceive Xiao Liuyue for her own selfish desires! She did not believe that Feng Qingge had true love for Xue Meitong.
!Otherwise, Feng Qingge would not have repeatedly taken the opportunity to humiliate Xue Mei Tong, test Xue Mei Tong, or even use Xue Mei Tong, and would not be willing to help Xue Mei Tong detoxify her until her death!
Feng Qingge, I want to settle accounts with Feng Longxiang! I also want to settle accounts with you!
Don't think that you can impress Xiao Liuyue and convince Xiao Liuyue to help you with just a few words. I will definitely not let your trick succeed!
"Feng Qingge, you said you wanted to conquer the world! So, may I ask, what resources do you have to compete with Fenglong Xiang?!"
Fenglongxiang...she actually dared to call the emperor by his first name. This woman...is really not afraid of death!
Feng Qingge smiled to herself, that's right! How could a woman who even Jin Yiwei dared to publicly humiliate a disobedient woman be afraid of Fenglong Xiang?
"The capital...isn't the soldiers and horses in my hands not enough?"
Xue Xichen replied coldly: "Feng Qingge, don't forget that your soldiers and horses are far away at the border. The living environment at the border is so bad, inaccessible, dogs don't poop, and birds don't lay eggs. You use Chaoting Liang Xiang
, If you can't even be self-sufficient, what qualifications do you have to compete with Fenglong Xiang."
Feng Qingge was stunned. He had indeed never considered this issue.
"Junior sister is right!" Xiao Liuyue agreed with Xue Xichen's opinion, "If you can't even be self-sufficient, how can you compete with Fenglong Xiang? When the three armies set out, food and grass go first. If there is no food and grass, even if there are hundreds of
An army of ten thousand is nothing more than a mere existence. My lord, this is indeed an issue you need to consider carefully."
What a word that woke up the dreamer! He was so comfortable that he didn't even realize this most fundamental and fatal problem!
While Feng Qingge was introspecting, she couldn't help but look at Xue Xichen a few more times, secretly praising that Xue Xichen's talent, knowledge and foresight were definitely not inferior to Xiao Liuyue's, this woman was really not simple!
Feng Qingge did not answer, but Leng Junyi interjected: "The climate at the border is very cold all year round, making it uninhabitable, and the living conditions are difficult. It is almost impossible to develop agriculture there..."
Xue Xichen retorted, "Who said that! It all depends on human beings! Since you can think of water cannons to deal with Tianji Kingdom's artillery, why can't you think of ways to recruit farmers at the border?"
Leng Junyi replied: "The conditions are different, how can the two be confused. Crops need sunlight, rain, dew, and nutrients to grow. Only with fertile land and sufficient sunlight can crops grow vigorously. However, the land at the border is poor, the climate is cold, and
Not suitable for the growth of crops.”
"It all depends on what plants you plant and how you plant them," Xue Xichen said. "The border areas have long and cold winters, dry and windy springs, and crops mainly grow in summer and autumn. Generally speaking, you can plant them for one year.
One year of fallow, two years of planting and one fallow, or one year of planting and two years of fallow, and green manure crops are planted or plowed and sun-dried on the fallow land. The plowing depth needs to be 15 to 30 cm to thicken the tillage layer.
, eliminate weeds, loosen and mature the soil, and enhance the water storage and fertilizer retention capacity. As for crops, you should choose crops with strong cold resistance and short growth period, such as barley, oats, potatoes, peas, cabbage-type rapeseed, and buckwheat."
Leng Junyi was dazed when he heard it. He had one head and two heads. He didn't understand farming and had never been exposed to farming, so he didn't understand anything Xue Xichen said.
Feng Qingge came from a royal family and lived in the palace all year round. He had never farmed. Obviously, he and Leng Junyi were in the same state of confusion.
Surprisingly, Feng Bi understood Xue Xichen's words, "Aunt Xue, what do you mean... As long as we choose crops with strong cold resistance and short growth period, we can still plant them at the border?!"
Xue Xichen nodded and replied: "Generally speaking, the growing season of crops in alpine areas is short. In order to ensure good growth conditions for crops in one season, precise soil preparation before sowing is particularly important. Generally, multiple plowing can be used to strive for early plowing and sunburning.
In order to mature the tillage soil and fully absorb water. In order to sow at the right time and early, it is often used to irrigate before freezing, suppress before and after thawing, rake, protect moisture, etc.
"For example, when the daily average temperature of wheat crops is stable at 0C, you can take advantage of the characteristics of soil moisture that thaws during the day and freezes at night, and plow and sow in the afternoon, combined with shallow sowing and shallow application of seed fertilizers to facilitate seedlings.
Early emergence and robustness. The sowing method can be narrow row sowing or wide and narrow row sowing, and the sowing amount should be increased appropriately to increase the basic number of seedlings, so that the crop group can make full use of the favorable factors of light energy conditions and low relative humidity to obtain high yields.
"In addition, due to windy, drought, and low temperatures in spring in alpine areas, soil nutrients decompose slowly and surface soil water evaporates rapidly. After the seeds emerge, in addition to fertilizing, crops such as wheat should be watered early in areas with conditions to accelerate soil growth.
The decomposition of nutrients promotes the growth of seedlings and enhances drought resistance. At the same time, water storage and moisture conservation should be an important part of cultivation. In order to overcome spring drought, frost-free irrigation can be used, or high ridges can be built on fallow land to store sufficient moisture in the soil.
. Dry farmland should be raked and suppressed in time after rainfall to reduce water evaporation."
"That's it!" Feng Bi was pleasantly surprised. "No wonder the crops we tried to plant before have always failed. It turns out that we chose unsuitable crops and used unsuitable farming methods! Thank you, Aunt Xue, for teaching me! I don't know.
Aunt Xue, can you write this farming knowledge into a booklet so that you can study it when you go back?"
Xue Xichen touched her little nose and said, "Hey! These are the summaries of knowledge from our ancestors, and I just borrowed their experience! One more thing, if border conditions permit, you can also try growing vegetables in greenhouses."
“Growing vegetables in a greenhouse?”
This term is very new, Feng Bi has never heard of it before.
