Chapter 41 Leading by example

"Fan Xian, I heard that you told Pei Yan about the idea of ​​compost?" Li Hong said with a smile.

Fan Xian was slightly relieved, but immediately admitted: "It's true, it makes Your Highness laugh."

Promoting composting is definitely a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Pei Fanxian also admitted that he did not consider it very thoroughly when he mentioned this matter to Pei Yan on a whim.

In addition, Pei Yan's intentional destruction caused many troubles in the specific operation.

Li Hong didn't want to care about the grudges between Pei Yan and Pei Fanxian. All he cared about was the value of compost planting.

"Fan Xian, if you leave the composting planting to you, can you promote it?"

Pei Yan's operation method was wrong, but the reason he persuaded Li Hong at that time made sense. Li Hong had already determined that compost farming was a way to increase grain output.

Fan Xian pondered for a moment: "If it were me, it should be possible to continue to implement it."

Li Hong was happy as soon as he heard this.

"I knew you would do it!"

"However, it is difficult to implement it."

Pei Fan poured a basin of cold water first, and Li Hong's smile froze on his face.

"If there is any difficulty, just say it!"

It is difficult to win the faith of the standing wood!

Pei Yan, a dog thief, was so erratic that the villagers' trust in compost was even more precarious.

"Your Highness, the students suggest that you can give the villagers a demonstration first."

"What does this mean?" Li Hong was puzzled.

"Now the villagers don't believe that composting can give them a good harvest and make a lot of money."

“Our priority is to convince them that compost farming is good for them.”

Li Hong nodded repeatedly: "You are right."

But the problem is that you can only say no, you still have to know how to do it.

Fan Xian said again: "Compost is just a preparation work and can only be used when sowing. There are still several months left before sowing."

"So, all we can do now is to accumulate fertilizer."

“That is, I can’t see the results of compost farming right away, right?”

Fan Xian looked at Li Hong with appreciation, and it turned out that he was a child who could teach.

"So, the student means that Your Highness can share a piece of land for me. I personally organize the villagers to compose the farm to set an example. As long as I plant this piece of land, the villagers will naturally be inspired."

Li Hong nodded: "This is no problem!"

"I can give you any piece of land you want, just say whatever you want!"

After Li Hong finished speaking, he felt that he was a little arrogant. The wealthy families in the capital were united together, and no family was easy to mess with.

The A-level good land has long been occupied by these families. They are strong and have a deep foundation, and even the saints cannot shake it, and Li Hong cannot even move it.

Cai Jixiang brought the map of the Beijing City. Fan Xian focused on looking at the pictures, but did not notice Li Hong's expression.

There are so many temples in Chang'an City...

If they could separate all the fields they occupied, the grain output in Chang'an City would immediately increase by a lot.

"Your Highness, just leave this piece of land under the slope of Wanquan County to the students."

Wanquan County?

Li Hong was stunned.

In Chang'an Fang City, residents are mainly distributed, with more people in the north and less in the south. Since the imperial city faces north and south, in order to facilitate court visits, the ministers mainly live in the north.

There are more poor people in Nancheng and many wastelands are still to be reclaimed. There are not many residents in Nancheng. If Pei Fanxian wants it, Li Hong can arrange it.

But he chose Wanquan County.

This is the county town outside Fangcheng.

Li Hong was puzzled: "The land on the slope is very barren!"

Wanquan County is close to Fangcheng District, and Li Hong has heard of some of the situations there. Just as Pei Fanxian said before, if Li Hong remembers correctly that land was burned from burning mountains.

He stared at Fan Xian with a complicated expression.

Pei Fanxian was very determined: "This is what students want!"

Pei Fanxian didn't say anything more. If the historical records were accurate, there should be a hot spring in Wanquan County.

This hot spring once gushed through the Sui Dynasty, but with the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the hot spring gradually dried up and lost traces on the surface.

In the late period of Emperor Gaozong, the record of this hot spring appeared in historical records. Pei Fanxian remembered it very clearly that the time for the recovery of the self-surgery was in the second year of Xianheng!

Compost farming is of course a scientific and healthy farming method, but it may not be effective immediately. However, the land with hot springs nearby is completely different.

The villagers set fire to the mountains in order to make use of the heat of the wood ash to facilitate sowing. The land near the hot spring eye has inherent conditions for sufficient geothermal heat.

Farming near the hot springs will be very good, whether it is ordinary rice and wheat, or melons, fruits, pears and peaches.

For Pei Fanxian, the fields near the slopes in Wanquan County can be said to have killed two birds with one stone.

"Your Highness, only when students get good harvests in barren fields can they guide the villagers to learn to compose arable land."

"Please trust your highness in the students."

Li Hong slapped his thigh and said happily: "That's great!"

"Have courage!"

Li Hong raised questions to test Pei Fanxian. If he asked for a certain place, Li Hong would question his abilities.

However, Pei Fan first chose the well-known barren land of Chang'an City. Li Hong felt that he was increasingly appreciating this young man.

I am a little lucky star of Li Hong when I am aware of the difficulties.

Life is still long, and you need to face countless difficulties and dangers. The stronger Xiao Fuxing’s ability to overcome difficulties can lead Li Hong to get rid of difficulties...

Although the location of the land has been decided, Pei Fanxian was the first to do, and collect fertilizer and prepare the preparations.

Pei Yan also asked Pei Fan to help wipe his butt first for the trouble.

Thinking of this, Pei Fanxian wanted to bite off his teeth!

"Your Highness, the student believes that we should prepare all the fertilizer." After hesitating for a moment, he still did not say the word "dirty".

Li Hong took a few sips of tea. Since he started taking glycerin, the taste has become much lighter, and even the heavy-tasting sencha can't be eaten.

Fan Xian said again: "There is a way for students to do, that is, the court will spend more money."

When it comes to the matter of money that the court has to spend, Pei Fanxian did not dare to be entrusted, and he had to win Li Hong's opinion.

Li Hong smiled and said, "How much is needed, please tell me."

Fan Xian shook his head: "The total number is unclear, but it shouldn't be too many."

"Your Highness, you can send officials from two counties to the villagers' homes to encourage them to dry manure, and give them a certain amount of money to collect it at home every once in a while. For villagers, these manures are cost-effective, and the government is useful and can make money. They will naturally be willing to dry manure, and they are eager to dry more and collect more money."

"This definitely doesn't work!" Fan Xian was interrupted by Li Hong before he finished speaking.

"The villagers have a lot of thoughts. In the past two years, the saints exchanged money for money in order to control bad money, and the villagers were unwilling to comply."

"They prefer to live the same way they used to and don't want to change at all." Li Hong was inspired by the chaos in the past two years.
