Chapter 18 The Couple Went on a Spring Outing to Inspect Their "Kingdom"

On the other side.

A warm breakfast ended.

Zhu Di wanted to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Xu Miaoyun.

With modern thinking, he thought it was normal.

But Xu Miaoyun insisted, "If it gets out, I will be laughed at by the villagers and embarrassed?"

Zhu Di thought about it and gave up. After all, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the previous life.

After Zhu Di left, Xu Miaoyun smiled happily and began to clean up. She was more and more certain that, just like her second sister said, she would be very happy in the future.

Washing dishes, tidying up gifts, sweeping the floor...

After an incense stick of time, Xu Miaoyun stood in the room and looked carefully, confirming that not only did it return to its appearance yesterday, but this little house also had her, her things, and her breath.

A smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

She walked to the loom placed not far from the end of the bed and gently stroked the loom with her fingers.

After sitting in front of the loom and trying it again, he confirmed that the loom was still usable. He smiled knowingly and walked to the yard.

"What are you doing?" Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di, who was polishing a wooden square plate, and asked curiously.

Zhu Di looked up, holding up the polished plate, and said, "This?"

"This is a hydroponic box."

Seeing Xu Miaoyun frowning in confusion, he pointed to the rhubarb on the east side of the courtyard: "Make hydroponic feed for rhubarb."

"Wait until mid-March to plow."

"Add nutrition to rhubarb one month in advance."

"There are only flour, millet, rice, and some wheat and rice at home, but no livestock concentrates such as soybeans.

"Feeding wheat and rice directly will have poor results."

"Put the wheat in this hydroponic box and place it in the house. It will grow tender green shoots in seven days. Feeding this hydroponic feed to rhubarb will have the best effect. ”

After wheat germinates, starch is converted into maltose.

The sugar content increases, and livestock grow fat faster after eating it.

Xu Miaoyun walked over, picked up the polished ‘hydroponic box’ placed next to him, frowned and asked: "How did you know?"

Zhu Di smiled. In his previous life, the place he defended was the only place where military horses were kept.

And half a year was covered with ice and snow.

He used this method to ensure the combat effectiveness of his ‘old comrades’.

"When I was in the palace, I accidentally saw it in an ancient book. I only scribbled a sentence, and I wanted to try it."

Xu Miaoyun whispered: "In fact, before going out, my father secretly brought me a lot of treasure notes, which can be exchanged at a one-to-one ratio according to the face value. We can buy beans and sorghum."

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head.

Xu Miaoyun stared at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled and explained: "I am not self-respecting and pretending to be noble. When I really need it, I will definitely ask you for it."

"You are all mine, and your money is naturally mine too. "

Xu Miaoyun rolled her eyes at Zhu Di shyly.

"The reason why we don't use it is because there are ways to replace it. The money will be kept when it is most needed."

"Why are farmers so easy to become poor, lose their land, and have no place to live?"

"It is because farmers are too weak to resist risks.

"A serious illness or a natural disaster can destroy a family."

"We are also farmers now, so we must keep this money and use it where it matters most." Zhu Di said, stretching out his hand and pinching Xu Miaoyun's cheek with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun subconsciously looked outside the yard and saw someone coming in the distance. She slapped Zhu Di's mischievous hand reflexively.

Zhu Di also noticed that some villagers were going to work in the fields. When they passed by their yard, he restrained himself a little and said, "Help me move these plates back, and I'll move the shelves."

Following the direction of Zhu Di's finger, Xu Miaoyun saw a total of seven wooden shelves standing on the west side of the yard.

I immediately understood that Zhu Di had been planning to use wheat hydroponics for feed for a long time.

Although she still had some doubts about the ‘hydroponic feed’, she did not continue to insist on buying soybeans and sorghum.

After the experiment, if it fails, it will not be too late to buy it again.

】

She has been preparing for so long and has completed all the preliminary preparations. What she should do now is to support!

Do your best to help do this well and make it the best!

It doesn’t matter if it fails.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded, "Yeah."

Looking at Xu Miaoyun's back as she entered the house with the ‘hydroponic box’, Zhu Di smiled and turned to move the shelf, muttering softly: "I am really lucky. I picked up such a good daughter-in-law for nothing."

From this small matter, we can already see Xu Miaoyun's attitude towards the long years ahead.

Support his decision!

...

Inside the hut.

Zhu Di placed the shelf near the stove to ensure the temperature.

Then he placed the ‘hydroponic box’ on the shelf and laid a layer of cloth cut from old clothes on the bottom.

The cloth has two functions. The wheat sprouts and grows roots, which penetrate into the gaps of the cloth and can fix it. At the same time, the cloth also has a water-containing moisturizing effect.

After spreading wheat on the seven hydroponic boxes, Zhu Di sprayed some water on the bottom hydroponic box. Seeing Xu Miaoyun carefully observing, he smiled and explained: "Spray water on the second-to-last layer tomorrow, the third-to-last layer the day after tomorrow... and so on."

"According to the records in the book, hydroponics can feed livestock for seven days."

"In this way, it can be ensured that Da Huang can eat fresh and tender wheat seedlings grown in water every day."

Xu Miaoyun carefully remembered these contents, thinking that if the experiment was successful, she would take over this matter.

Listening to it, she felt a little sour in her heart. She... was actually a little jealous of Da Huang!

Subconsciously, he said, "You are so nice to Da Huang."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Of course I have to be nice to him. He is the source of our family's food."

Huh!

Seeing that Zhu Di did not notice, Xu Miaoyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly changed the subject, "Everything is ready at home. I will go to the fields with you. I don't know where our fields are yet?"

"I have cleared the canals, and there is no work in the fields." Zhu Di smiled and said, "But I should indeed take you to inspect our country. After the inspection, I will take you to the mountains."

"The mountains east of Tuqiao Village look pretty."

"Spring outing? Okay!" Xu Miaoyun said happily.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I guess so. When the spring outing season comes, we may be too busy to take care of it. Let's go out in advance!"

...

The newlyweds happily went to inspect their family's "country" and went out in advance.

On the small road leading to Tuqiao Village from Chunhua Town.

A group of people came in bright clothes and galloping horses.

Haha…

With a hearty laugh, Lan Yu turned his head and confirmed: "Yingxu, tell Uncle Lan again, what did Zhu Di say?"

Xu Yingxu laughed sarcastically: "I also overheard it. Zhu Di and my eldest brother promised to build a big house by the end of the year, and invited my eldest brother to visit their big house after the New Year's Day reunion dinner."

Haha…

"You really come from a rich family, but you don't know the hardships of farmers." Lan Yu smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of contempt.

Lan Chun asked in confusion: "Dad, is it difficult to build a house?"

Hmph!

Lan Yu glared at Lan Chun and snorted: "More than difficult!"

"I risked my life to give you the wealth and glory you have now. Of course, you don't know the difficulties of farmers wanting to rise."

"Building a big house in a year, if farmers can live a good life, it's so easy, there won't be so many rebels in this world!"

Born from a poor family, Lan Yu knew very well the difficulties of farmers wanting to become rich.

Throughout the dynasties, countless rules and regulations, countless people, have forced farmers to live on barren land, and it is already very good to have enough food and clothing.

Develop?

That is very difficult!

The most effective way for farmers to develop and change their fate is to break the rules!

Either step on those gray and white areas, or rebel.

Follow the rules and be obedient, and you will never be rich and noble in your life!

Lan Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly. If Zhu Di stepped on those gray and white areas, it would be the best opportunity for them to crush Zhu Di to death!

"Speed ​​up!"

Lan Yu shouted loudly, waved the whip, and rushed straight to Tuqiao Village in bright clothes and furious horses...
