Chapter 879： play with children

  Xiao An came over with a small bundle of rice, only to see the bluestone slab under his feet threw out with a "ho", and the rice that was not too tightly tied suddenly spread out and threw him all over his face.

Xiao An didn't mind shaking her head at all, shaking her hands and running towards the field again, Xiao Xia looked at her dumbfounded, she just slept drowsy for more than two months, even if there is a little dust on her clothes The son whose face was replaced had become so informal, if it wasn't for that face, she almost thought it was a tiger's head or a little lion who threw the rice just now.

Mamma Xia was very relieved, she felt that this is how children should be.

Mu Yangling and his five children harvested all six fields, then pounded and dried the grains, and then weighed them for comparison.

Sanxiao expressed no interest in this, they held hands and went to the street to play, only Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong squatted beside Mu Yangling to watch her record.

Xiaobao asked, "Fourth aunt, can our Zhuangzi grow the second season of rice?"

"Yes." Mu Yangling lit the notebook and said, "But it will take another two years to test whether or not to plant."

Little Bear stared, "Why?"

"Because the land also needs to rest and recuperate," Mu Yangling explained to him: "It's like you study, you have a busy day during the day, then you have to rest at night, and you will have the energy to continue learning martial arts the next day. The same is true for the land. In the first half of the year I have been farming, and I will rest in the second half of the year."

"But didn't the farmer's uncle say that the more the land is planted, the fatter it becomes?"

When the two children went to play in the village, they often heard people say that someone was lazy and turned the well-cultivated land into raw land. , lost all the fat.

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "There must be a degree of this, just like when you study, you are suddenly given a half-year vacation, your attention and brain power are scattered, and then you are asked to study and go to school. It will feel very difficult, and the same is true of the land. If you don’t cultivate for a long time, the fertility will be lost, but if you cultivate too much, it will consume its fertility too much. We have to find a balance in the middle, maybe find a way to replenish its fertility. Things, this is not something that can be done in a year or two, so we can't be in a hurry."

In the past life, the land could grow things all year round because there were such things as fertilizers, but in this life, let alone that she couldn’t make fertilizers, she couldn’t make them even if she could.

At this time, the population density of the country was not large, and there was a lot of barren land beyond the per capita 100 mu of land, not to mention the mountains and forests. Even without chemical fertilizers, as long as the seeds and water resources can keep up, the people can live well.

Mu Yangling's goal has always been to improve seeds and improve farming techniques. As for water conservancy projects, it was the court's plan, and she never thought of getting chemical fertilizers.

"I haven't made up my mind on whether the second season of rice should be planted, but this Champaign rice can be sown on a large scale. Now the seeds have stabilized, and the experiment on the northern side should also have results." Mu Yangling pinched Xiaobao's face and smiled: "We have another high-yielding rice seed in Daqi."

Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong were perplexed, Xiaoxiong found that he was not interested and threw it away, but Xiaobao kept it in his heart. What? What kind of rice seeds are we planting in our village?"

How did Qi Xiuyuan know what kind of rice was grown in Zhuangzi?

He bought the little Zhuangzi for his son with his own money. It was for his school and research. He left it to the steward to take care of it. How can he, a king of a country, pay attention to this?

So he said: "My father doesn't know either. If you want to know tomorrow, you can ask the steward." Then he asked: "Your fourth aunt said that the Champa rice has stabilized and can be planted?"

Xiaobao nodded.

Qi Xiuyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed that the autumn tax he received this year was very good. The reason for this was the high yield of grain in addition to the good weather in various places.

There are new varieties of corn, rice, and even wheat. The first two have increased production by a considerable amount, so they have a lot of grain.

The number of refugees in various places has been greatly reduced. They provided another batch of food to help the refugees and let them all settle on the spot. It is believed that within three years, there will be no more than one hundred refugees gathered in the whole of Daqi.

Every time there is chaos in the imperial court, it starts with refugees. If they solve this group, the national strength will be able to rise a lot.

Qi Xiuyuan was so happy that he asked people to bring wine. When the queen saw that he was happy, she asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to call Fourth Uncle and the others into the palace to celebrate?"

Qi Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, he's been very angry recently, so I don't want to see him anymore."

"The fourth uncle is very angry, and the emperor should persuade him." The queen gave him a strange look, turned her head and asked Xiaobao, "Your fourth uncle didn't look good when he came home today?"

Xiaobao was trying hard to dig apples for his younger brother and sister, when he heard the words, he shook his head and said, "No, the fourth uncle is very happy, and he put the tiger-headed little lion Xiaobao on their necks for a walk in the garden, carrying them with them. The little bear flies around in the sky with light energy, it's fun..."

The queen looked at her son suspiciously, "Are you also being carried around by your fourth uncle?"

Xiaobao smiled embarrassedly, dug out a large piece of apple and stuffed it into his second brother's mouth, Mingzhu shouted in dissatisfaction when he saw it, "Brother Prince, I want too."

The second prince was just over a year old. Hearing this, he sat down with Xiaobao, opened his mouth at him, and waited to be fed.

Xiaobao closed his mouth and said, "Eat what's in your mouth first." He cut a large piece with a spoon and stuffed it into his sister's mouth.

The queen    took the apple out of her daughter's mouth and taught him, "You can't play the game of flying again in the future, how dangerous it is."

Qi Xiuyuan said, "Haoran knows that he will never let Xiaobao fall. It's nothing for a boy to be naughty," and said, "I don't expect him to practice so well, but he can't lose his kung fu right away. , the ruler must be able to command the entire army, and let his fourth uncle take him to practice courage."

Xiaoxiong is one year younger than Xiaobao. Not only can he develop internal strength, his steps are light, but he has even learned some Qinggong. It is impossible to be disappointed. Although his martial arts accomplishments are not as good as his younger brother's, they are not bad. Besides, he is a general on horseback. If he really wants to fight on horseback, there are only five people in the world who can defeat him.

Xiaobao wants to be the emperor in the future, even if there is a bear in the army to help him, he can't understand everything, at least he will have some skills right away.

Li Jinghua naturally heard what Qi Xiuyuan had not said, nodded in agreement, but only whispered: "Isn't it because the fourth uncle is in a bad mood, why are you still in the mood to play with the children?"

Qi Xiuyuan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Do you think he is playing with the children? He is playing with the children."

At this time, Mu Yangling was annoyed and threw the four children who were pestering Qi Haoran to fly into the basin to take a bath, turned around and glared at Qi Haoran, "If you dare to play with them again, believe it or not, I will shut you out. let you in?"

Qi Haoran touched his nose and resigned himself to bathe the four children.

Still didn't know that the four children who were used as toys fluttered in the water basin, "Dad, take us to Feifei after the bath, I'm going to fly to the tallest tree."

"Fourth Uncle, I want to fly over the lake, take me there..."
