It is another season of spring flowers, which makes the suburbs of Qingzhou City as beautiful as a picture.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ming, Pang Yukun and three or five Qingzhou officials headed north along the cement road extending from Qingzhou.

Along the way, Xiao Ming admired the beautiful and delicate mood on both sides of the strait, at this time the spring was bright, there was no cloud in the sky, and the sky was blue like a jewel.

And under the clear sky, the view is excellent, and he can see far away at a glance.

The concrete road is flanked by wildflowers and dense jungle, and many plants that are rarely seen in modern times are everywhere here.

"Your Majesty, now this cement road has been repaired from Qingzhou City to the county below, and some of them have reached the village, and the other five states outside Qingzhou have also begun to lay cement roads and build road pipelines in the city, because of this reason, there are many more cement workshops in the six states, and some businessmen have made a fortune." Pang Yukun said to Xiao Ming as he walked.

This time Xiao Ming did not take the carriage, but walked with Pang Yukun and others, he is from modern times, not so pretentious, and sometimes likes to act rashly.

"It's just that this overhaul and construction cost a lot of money." Zhan Xingchang sighed, "Now in addition to roads, all states and counties also need to build water conservancy, and everything that needs to be done requires silver." ”

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly, "Now what I am most afraid of seeing is you, and every time I speak, I can't do without silver." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also helpless, now that military spending accounts for most of the treasury expenditure, the silver used in other places will naturally be less, so the speed of the implementation of this change will have to slow down." Zhan Xingchang shook his head.

Pang Yukun didn't speak, he and Xiao Ming had already talked enough, but now the Great Yu Kingdom is facing this situation.

"So I'm also thinking of a way now, if it goes on like this, it will seriously delay the implementation of the law, which is absolutely impossible, but this military spending can't be reduced, and now the surrounding strong enemies are looking around, and if you are not careful, you will never recover." Xiao Ming said slowly.

Pang Yukun nodded, "You don't have to bother the emperor about this matter, and now the emperor is also worried about this matter." ”

Xiao Ming suddenly laughed twice at this time, and he said to the officials: "You don't have to worry, now I already have a way to make money, and this treasury will be full in a few years."

Zhan Xingchang showed a relaxed look one by one when he heard this, and now they have blind trust in this emperor, because Xiao Ming has created many miracles.

Everyone laughed and walked north, and gradually a stench came to the surface, and it became heavier and heavier.

Pang Yukun looked unbearable, "Your Majesty, this place is really filthy, the emperor is still waiting here, let's go." ”

"It's not necessary, if you go to get it, I will get it." With that, Xiao Ming went straight down the cement road and walked towards the septic tank not far away.

Zhan Xingchang and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, with admiration in their expressions, even officials rarely set foot in this place, but Xiao Ming went there in person regardless of his honor.

This time, Xiao Ming wanted Pang Yukun to make a chemical fertilizer not a chemical fertilizer in the modern sense, but actually a kind of soil compound fertilizer made by soil method, and the manufacture of this soil compound fertilizer requires phosphate rock.

The last time Qingzhou laid a cement road, Xiao Ming rectified the sewer pipes in the city by the way, and connected the sewage of the entire city to the septic tank outside the city.

His purpose at that time was to one day produce soil fertilizer, because modern fertilizer could not be produced without electricity and corresponding equipment.

When he arrived at the destination, there were already production captains from seventeen villages near Qingzhou waiting for him.

Seeing Xiao Ming coming in person, they were very shocked and saluted Xiao Ming one after another.

This time, Fan Zeng also came over, and Pang Yukun said to him: "You have to write down this matter today, publish it in the newspaper tomorrow, and let the people know how diligent the emperor is and loves the people." ”

"It's nature." Fan Zeng said with a smile.

Everyone has arrived, Xiao Ming no longer wastes time, this spring ploughing is about to begin, and this time we will take this opportunity to promote soil and fertilizer.

Almost every household in the village of Dayu has its own latrine, and as long as they master this method, they no longer have to worry about fertilizer.

Facing everyone, at this time, Xiao Ming asked the seventeen captains to personally follow his method.

First Xiao Ming asked them to crush the phosphate rock, and then sifted it.

After that, he asked them to go to the fertilizer pond and pick out the same amount of manure, mix it with phosphate rock powder about one to one, and then pile it into a conical shape.

At this time, he asked them to cover the fertilizer tightly with a three-centimeter-thick thin mud, pile it up for seven days, and then take the fertilizer out of it after seven days.

At this time, the chemical fertilizer is the compound fertilizer in the soil fertilizer, which has a complete range of chemical elements and can be used at each stage of crop growth.

Although this fertilizer cannot reach the level of modern fertilizer, it is enough to make a piece of land have long-lasting fertility.

After all, in ancient times, much of the land was obtained by burning forests, and when the fertility of these fields was exhausted, the yield would be reduced.

"These fertilizers will first be used in high-yielding crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes." After teaching the production method of soil fertilizer, Xiao Ming said to Pang Yukun.

After a pause, he continued: "Qingzhou Mansion is drought, this corn is very drought-tolerant, suitable for planting in Qingzhou, Kuiwu has been breeding in the past few years, and now he has accumulated a lot of corn seeds in his hands, so choose a few villages to plant this year." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Pang Yukun answered, and continued; "Your Majesty, the lower officials think that it is time to abolish the Lizheng in the village, and now the production team in the village has basically replaced the status of Lizheng, and it is a burden for these Lizheng to exist, and Lizheng is the foundation of the wealthy family, and only by completely eradicating the governance of the village sages can we avoid the resurgence of the wealthy family."

Xiao Ming deeply believes that the taxes of states and counties other than Qingzhou Mansion and Youzhou Mansion still rely on these so-called village sages.

And the source of these village sages is the local big clan, because there are many people, the elected village sages can only be effective when they speak.

These village sages filled the lack of power of the imperial court over the grassroots level, and became the actual managers of the village.

The foundation of the feudal dynasty is sometimes destroyed in the hands of these selfish people, so in order to prevent this situation from happening again, Xiao Ming will set up an institution like a production team, in order to eliminate the clan power.

"Since it is a change of law, it will definitely offend the interests of some people, and even sometimes bloodshed is inevitable, you do it boldly, and I will support you." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Pang Yukun's expression was moved, it was enough to have Xiao Ming's words.
