Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 60: Teaching farming seriously
"Queen Mother, why don't we go back to the palace?"

A palace maid saw Wu Zeqian huffing and puffing, so she suggested in a low voice.

"What kind of palace are you going back to? Didn't you hear that this kid is going to give a lesson? Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I want to listen carefully today to find out what kind of lesson he is teaching!"

Having said this, Wu Zetian took a deep breath and tried to listen as calmly as possible.

In the courtyard, all the people smiled bitterly and took their seats again. Due to Yang Yanzhang's status, he could only listen to the lecture with a grimace.

"Let's get back to the topic! Just now, didn't you believe that I understand farming? Now, I'm going to teach you the secret to increasing production!"

Yang Yanzhang wrote "one" on the white wall behind him.

"First of all, as the person just said, the fertility of the land can indeed fundamentally affect the yield of crops!"

"However, everyone must only know this, but they lack understanding of how to make the land fertile!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old farmer said: "The quality of the land is the original matter. How can manpower interfere?"

Yang Yanzhang snorted coldly: "Of course! Otherwise, why would I bother talking to you here?"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but laugh: "Then you can tell me?"

Yang Yanzhang said calmly: "Finally, let's talk about how to fertilize the soil first!"

Fertilize the soil?

When everyone heard this statement, they immediately felt superior.

"I believe many people have had experience. If manure is spread into the soil, the yield will be significantly increased! Who has this experience? Please raise your hand?"

Most of the people below immediately raised their hands.

But some people immediately retorted: "Spreading manure can sometimes increase yields, but many times it causes maggots to grow in the crops and rot in the fields without harvesting! If you want to use this method to fertilize the soil, the result may be half good and half bad!"

Everyone immediately agreed. It was obvious that this problem was not an isolated case, but a common problem.

Seeing everyone speaking enthusiastically, Yang Yanzhang laughed and waved his hands: "As long as you have questions, I will not worry about answering you! For example, I happen to know the problem of maggots! In fact, this problem is easy to solve. Maggots are caused by It’s because you used ready-made manure to spread it! As long as it is fertilized, this problem can be completely solved!"

"Retting? What is that?"

"Retting means putting manure in the field and letting it dry in the sun for a few months until there is no smell. Then you can spread it and it will be fine! Think carefully about whether you used long-term manure when you spread it in the past. After piling up manure over time, it will be less likely to get maggots and it will be easier to increase production?"

These words made many people think deeply.

Soon, people with bright minds gradually recalled it.

"It seems like this is true! Many years ago, my family had no harvest due to spreading manure. Later, the manure in the house was piled in the wild without taking care of it for many years! In the past few years, my envoys have spread some manure to the landlord's house. My original intention was to take revenge on him. Those who deduct wages did not expect the landlord’s family’s income to increase every year!”

"It's true! I worked for the landlord last year and spread two batches of manure on the fields. But after I spread the ones I pulled over, maggots and roots soon became rotten, and there was no harvest! On the contrary, I had stored up a year's worth of manure. After sowing it, the crops grew wonderfully!”

Everyone was talking about it, and gradually realized that Yang Yanzhang's explanation was [-]% correct, so they all looked at Yang Yanzhang with surprise and admiration.

"I didn't expect that Yang Yushi really understood it! Moreover, he understood it in such a special way..."

"Yes, you can study excrement so clearly. It's amazing. I admire you!" Wu Zetian was dumbfounded for a while: Yang Yanzhang just taught lessons to the untouchables. He couldn't use the word "excrement" in three sentences. I almost asked him about his excrement. Taste it!
However, she saw that the people here were more and more supportive of Yang Yanzhang, and gradually opened their mouths, and she felt more and more that the development of things far exceeded her expectations.

"Could it be that he really knows all about farming?"

"Is it true that the ability to produce two to three thousand catties per mu is real?"

At this time, Yang Yanzhang waved his hand to suppress everyone's voices: "Okay, this is just the first skill I will teach you today! Let's move on to the second method of fertilizing the soil, which is to sprinkle burned leaves into the soil. This It can also play a role in gaining weight!”

Compared to the previous one, this one is quite surprising.

"Master Yushi, can leaves really fertilize the soil?" asked a commoner.

"Of course! Moreover, the effect is remarkable!" Yang Yanzhang said with certainty, "However, it can only be leaves, not bark and trunks!"

"What's the point of this?" Someone wanted to get to the bottom of the problem.

But Yang Yanzhang waved his hand: "This question is too complicated for you, you just need to remember, give it a try, and you will know!"

After the question was directly deflected, Yang Yanzhang continued: "As for the problem of fattening, these two are almost the same. You can't do the other things now! Next, let's talk about other ways to increase production. The fattening just now Soil is just one of them.”

Everyone was listening in ecstasy at this time, feeling that Yang Yanzhang's words were very reasonable, and they all tried their best to keep what Yang Yanzhang said in their hearts.

"I want to tell you the fact that planting one type of crop year after year will lead to deterioration of the soil environment and a significant decrease in yield! If you plant other types of crops, you can effectively avoid this situation!"

The people present fell into deep thought again.

These days we mainly grow grains, such as wheat, rice, and soybeans. Although the effect of these crop rotations is not very obvious, we can still feel it.

"I remember that a few years ago, a wealthy family planted a few acres of soybeans on a whim, and the yield was high that year! The wealthy family was happy, so they planted it for a few more years, but then the yield decreased significantly, and finally they had to switch to rice, and the yield was good again. stand up!"

"What a coincidence! I've also grown beans, and the yields I just planted were really good!"

"It seems that Yang Yushi is right again! Planting other types of crops can indeed increase production!"

"Haha! I learned another trick! It seems that our visit today was not in vain, we learned real skills!"

"Yes, yes, with these skills, who will be the most popular person in the future?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated, and everyone realized that Yang Yanzhang was not just talking nonsense, but he really understood!

Seeing this atmosphere, Wu Zetian suddenly felt embarrassed.

"I thought he didn't understand, but I didn't expect that it was me who didn't understand..."

"I thought this guy was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that every one of them would be echoed by these people! It turns out that he really understands!"

Gradually, Wu Zetian thought about Yang Yanzhang's promise, and her heart became hot again!

"The yield per mu is two to three thousand kilograms! Is it true? If it is true, this is the real auspiciousness of the country and the most important weapon of the country! If something like this happens under my rule, it is not too much to ascend the throne, right??"
