Chapter seven hundred and thirty sixth acquaintances meet
Early the next morning, while Li Chengqian was still sleeping, he was woken up.
He was neatly dressed, put on a straw hat, and followed everyone to the edge of the experimental field in a daze.
Du He stood at the edge of the field and said: "Whether grain production can be increased, it doesn't matter what you say, nor does the county say it. We still have to present facts and reason. Have you seen these four experimental fields? This is our agriculture.
At the beginning of the research, below, fifteen of you are divided into three groups. The first group is responsible for hauling lime to plow the ground near the Anhu Avenue construction site. The second group is responsible for making new fertilizers. The third group is responsible for preparing seeds and other matters.
!”
Wow.
The people were quickly divided into groups.
Li Chengqian was placed in the second group.
There are eight people in the second character, which is the largest number.
Everyone is very interested in making new fertilizers.
"You... Li Qian, go poop on pigs..." the old man pointed at Li Chengqian and said.
Li Chengqian was stunned at that time.
Pig shit?
Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, actually wants to poop on pigs?
Seeing that the other party did not agree, Lao Fu said displeasedly: "What, you are not happy?"
"I...I want to go to the third group!" Li Chengqian said quickly.
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't want to poop on pigs, okay, then I'll send you to raise pigs. From now on, you can clean the pigsty every day."
Li Chengqian weighed the choice between dealing with dirty pigs every day and shitting pigs, and finally chose the latter.
…
early morning.
The convoy set off.
Eight people, eight special carriages. The carriages of the carriages are huge wooden barrels. Except for a lid on the top, the rest of the barrels are completely closed.
The convoy soon arrived at the back hill of the pig farm.
Li Chengqian got out of the car, looked around, and saw a huge lake, sparkling in the sun.
Li Chengqian, who had been feeling aggrieved at the farm for a long time, felt completely relaxed.
"Ah... I didn't expect that this pig farm, which has been criticized by thousands of people, would have such a beautiful place!"
He opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath.
Suddenly, Li Chengqian's expression changed drastically. He squatted down, covered his chest, lay on the ground, and vomited violently.
Someone next to me kindly reminded: "Li Qian, that's not a beautiful scenery at all, it's all pig shit..."
Yes, this seemingly huge lake is formed by the accumulation of wastewater and pig feces from pig farms.
Li Chengqian stood downwind, took a deep breath, and immediately became addicted.
When he finally got up after vomiting, he found that other people's carriages had been loaded and he was the last one.
The person in charge of loading the carriage was an old man, his clothes were in tatters and he was dirty. The guy was carrying a wooden bucket and struggled to lift the buckets of pig excrement and dump them into Li Chengqian's carriage.
Suddenly, Li Chengqian found that the other party looked familiar.
He shouted tentatively: "Teacher!"
The old man was stunned, and the wooden bucket in his hand fell to the ground, and the pig shit inside was scattered everywhere.
Li Chengqian took off his straw hat at once.
The old man suddenly shouted in surprise: "Your Highness... Your Highness, I am Zhang Xuansu!"
Yes, this old man pretending to be pig shit is none other than Zhang Xuansu.
Li Chengqian asked in surprise: "Teacher, didn't I ask you to stay in the county and keep an eye on Du He? Why are you here pretending to be pig shit?"
Zhang Xuansu burst into tears and suddenly crawled in the pig excrement on the ground, hugging Li Chengqian's thigh, and cried loudly: "Your Highness, I failed, I failed..."
He briefly explained how he had contacted the nobles, made plans, and prepared to attack Du He.
"Your Highness, the water in Hu County is too deep. Those nobles are not loyal... They all escaped. I was caught by Guancheng and sent to a pig farm to raise pigs. However, the pig farm
The bastards thought that I was old and not suitable for raising pigs, so they sent me to manage this pig shit farm..." Zhang Xuansu cried while wiping away tears. Unknowingly, his face was covered with pig shit.
Li Chengqian felt sad.
The master and the disciple hugged each other and cried.
Zhang Xuansu said with a cry: "Your Highness, now I can't leave the pig farm for even half a step. Please take me away. I want to return to Chang'an. I want to meet Your Majesty and inform Your Majesty of Du He's evil deeds. Ask Your Majesty to help us."
Call the shots.”
Li Chengqian stood up and shook his head: "Teacher, if we return to Chang'an now, won't we tell the Manchu civil and military ministers that we came to inspect Hu County and failed? And you just said that Du He has evidence in his hands that we incited the gentry in Hu County to cause trouble.
, with my father’s temper, when the time comes, let alone you, even I will not be able to escape punishment..."
"But, Your Highness, what should we do now?" Zhang Xuansu asked.
Li Chengqian said firmly: "Forbearance, now we can only endure and wait and see what happens. When Du He relaxes his vigilance, we can collect evidence of Du He's harm to the people before we can return to Chang'an. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk."
Zhang Xuansu also stood up and said: "Okay, Your Highness, please rest assured. I was used to living a hard life. This hardship is nothing. I will endure it and collect all the evidence secretly. When we return to Chang'an, it will be
Duhe’s death date!”
Li Chengqian patted Zhang Xuansu on the shoulder: "Teacher, it's getting late, so let's load the car quickly."
Zhang Xuansu: "..."
In the evening, Li Chengqian rushed back to the farm experimental field.
Du He came up and praised: "Li Qian, good job. Others avoid pig shit, but you are covered in shit, but you can deal with it indifferently. It's really admirable. You must have eaten it before...
…Ah no, I must have been exposed to a lot of pig shit.”
Everyone saw that Li Chengqian's body was covered with pig excrement, and they couldn't help but admire him sincerely.
Later, Du He took Li Chengqian and others to dig a pit next to the experimental field. The bottom and sides of the pit were all compacted and paved with thin stone slabs to ensure that there would be no large-scale water leakage.
Then, he directed Li Chengqian and others to pour eight carts of pig manure from the pig farm, and then poured a lot of hydrated lime and soybeans into the pit. After adding water, he put up branches and leaves, and sealed it completely.
.
On the other side, the No. 2 and No. 3 test fields have begun to plow the ground with quicklime just pulled from Anhu Avenue.
After all this work, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Three days later, planting officially began, and Du He planted cabbage.
Experimental field No. 1 was just sprinkled with cabbage seeds.
In the No. 2 experimental field, the land has been plowed with quicklime, and cabbage seeds were planted directly.
Experimental field No. 3 was not only plowed with quicklime, and after planting cabbage seeds, it was also irrigated with processed pig manure as fertilizer.
In Experimental Field No. 4, the planting method is no different from what ordinary people plant. After sprinkling the cabbage seeds, a layer of soil ash was spread, and some human feces was used as fertilizer.
Du He asked people to record every step in detail, including the amount of fertilizer used, etc., down to the smallest detail.
Of course, Li Chengqian himself also recorded one, which is all evidence. As long as Du He cannot prove that he can increase production, then this will become irrefutable evidence that Du He is messing around.
