……

Long before Li Anran returned from Yingzhou Island in modern time and space, he first commanded the farmers in the mountain villa to harvest all the crops that could be harvested.

Although there is no more unnatural yield of 200 stone per mu like potatoes, the yield of sweet potatoes has also reached nearly 20,000 catties per mu, and after conversion, it has also reached an exaggerated figure of more than 160 stones.

And the peanut has also reached a yield of about 1,000 catties per mu, although there is not even ten stones after conversion, but for Datang Time and Space, such an output is already so considerable that people are speechless.

What's more, these peanuts can not only be used for cooking, porridge, and snacks, but also can be used to squeeze out fragrant peanut oil to make sweet and delicious peanut butter, which can be said to be very useful.

As the news of the successive harvests of Xiaoyao Villa continued to spread to the palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin's mood became better and better.

Even if there are many ministers who have written to say that the Gewu Academy is so good, if it is really tyrannical to just teach those miscellaneous arts, it is better to use it as a place to cultivate talents for the Tang Dynasty after it is nationalized.

What makes Li Shimin amused is that although these ministers, who are the most calculating ministers on weekdays, have such a twist and turn, none of them said that they would just take down the academy, but they all proposed it euphemistically. It is better to give appropriate compensation.

Regarding the ministers' reaction, Li Shimin was neither surprised nor angry. After all, even as a true dragon emperor, he maintained a certain awe for that pure yang real person, even if this point would never be revealed, and he would never admit it, but he really couldn't ignore it.

Li Shimin did not agree or oppose the nationalization of Gewu Academy, but only stayed in the middle of the country and did not send them, as if he had not received them.

And such an attitude fell in the eyes of those treacherous and cunning ministers. In fact, it is equivalent to giving an answer. So. After two days of similar twists and turns, the matter was quickly forgotten by all those in the know, at least, on the surface.

After the harvest. With the results of this previous test in modern time and space. Li Anran was not careful. Directly divide the harvested crops in half. Then, together with the methods of planting and basic processing, Cheng was sent to the palace. As for this, these things are eaten. Whether to be left to be a seed is none of your business.

For the batch of crops that Li Shimin received, except for waiting for the reward, no courtier dared to fight these things. Therefore, those civil and military generals who knew that these crops had huge interests could only beat their ideas to the side of Xiaoyao Mountain.

But because of Li Anran's mysterious identity and strength, no one is stupid enough to choose methods such as overwhelming others. So, over a period of time, not only more and more people came to visit the Cottage, but also the carriages loaded with gifts were also sent to the cottage as if they didn't need money.

For this reason, Wang Youde, the great butler, had to open a courtyard dedicated to a temporary warehouse for storing these gifts. Among these things sent, although no one directly sent money, the value of silk and satin, pearls and jade, rare antiques, precious medicinal materials and other things was no worse than sending money directly.

In fact, in terms of the value of these gifts alone, many of them have far exceeded the benefits that those crops can bring. After all, even if this thing can't be promoted now, it is only a matter of time before it is promoted over time.

But for those wealthy families, the crop god horse is just incidental, and the real purpose of giving gifts is to build a good relationship with someone.

Just kidding, people are immortals in the upper realm, although this immortal has not shown any means to turn over the river and the sea, pick the stars and take the moon so far, and it is said that because of the collision with the dragon qi, he had to respond to the catastrophe in the lower realm.

Especially those ministers who knew from beginning to end, although they did not come forward due to their identities and rules, they all sent housekeepers or direct descendants to Xiaoyao Villa with gifts in various names.

For the thoughts of these people, Li Anran naturally will not be unintelligible. Therefore, no matter who comes, no matter what kind of gift you give, you will accept it in full.

As for the requests, such as the idea of buying some crop seeds, there is no shirk. Not only did we prepare a portion of all kinds of crops without discrimination, but we also sent the methods of planting and basic processing. As for whether to buy or not, Li Anran didn't take it seriously at all, but gave them away in the name of coming to the door.

In addition to door-to-door relationships and asking for crops, what surprised Li Anran was that there were still people who came to see him. But when I thought about it, I was relieved, after all, my cooperation with Changchun Hall had never been interrupted.

Moreover, in front of Sun Changgeng, Li Anran not only showed amazing medical information and miraculous pills, but also communicated and exchanged some of the basic contents of surgical surgery with the other party in a friendly manner.

Even if not many people know about this matter because of the above cover-up, but the news thing, and it is still this kind of news that does not cause any problems, there is no way to completely hide it when needed.

For these people who came to seek medical treatment, Li Anran's attitude was also unshirkable. Anyway, for modern time and space, many ancient so-called incurable diseases have already become minor problems. And these diseases, Li Anran can be solved with traditional Chinese medicine, but if it is really not possible, he will use modern time and space to purchase corresponding Western medicine.

Although after taking these medicines, there was no extraordinary effect of any drugs to cure the disease, but those symptoms were greatly alleviated.

Regarding the reason why the disease could not be cured, Li Anran also found an irrefutable reason. For example, due to the rules of the Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms, he can't take down the immortal medicine of the upper realm, and these immortal pills are more poisonous than poison to the mortal body, and those who take it will be killed immediately, and so on.

But even so, after the illness of the person seeking medical treatment has been significantly alleviated, and even some patients with relatively good physique have made great improvements in a short period of time, Li Anran's fame has risen to a new level in a short period of time.

Seeing that more and more people came to seek medical treatment, Li Anran had to decide to open another medical department in Gewu Academy. However, he will still follow the path of traditional Chinese medicine, and will only teach some basic aspects of surgery in terms of Western medicine and Western medicine. After all, I am not a professional Western doctor, and if I really want to teach more, I will definitely be ugly when the time comes.

As for the medical teachers, in addition to sorting out the systematic Chinese medicine from modern time and space, they will also use external employment to directly find a few experts in Datang time and space, such as Sun Changgeng of Changchun Hall is very good. Of course, it would be better if you could find Sun Simiao, a medicine king who is quite famous in history.

In order to ensure that he has enough leisure time and will not become a doctor and be busy with the health of those dignitaries every day, Li Anran set the rule of only seeing three patients a day, and the patients must come to the door, otherwise they will ignore everything.

This kind of behavior, which is obviously not compassionate and medically decomposed, was also installed by Li Anran, who cannot interfere in the life and death of the world, otherwise he will not only implicate the families of those patients, but also himself will be punished by the heavens.

And this reason was automatically supplemented by many high-ranking officials and wealthy families, so that no medicine could be cured immediately, which saved Li Anran a lot of trouble.

While receiving guests and treating people's diseases, Li Anran did not forget to let people plant large patches of pasture grass in those fields that had been harvested, and raised those poultry and livestock brought from modern time and space and the poultry and livestock from the Tang Dynasty time and space in different types and regions in these fields that were overgrown with pasture in just a few days.

The reason for this is not that Li Anran is violent and doesn't care about the output of these fields, but that after planting those varieties that have been improved through time and space, the fertility of this field has been consumed a lot. In the same way that animals that have also been improved by time travel will become more edible, the need for fertilizer for these crops has increased a lot.

Without fallow or fertility replenishment, it would not be long before the fields in the lodge became barren. The free-range poultry and livestock, while grazing on nutritious and good-tasting pastures in the field, will leave their excrement directly in the field, which invisibly plays a role in fertilizer supplementation.

As for the grasses planted, such as alfalfa, which is known as the king of pastures, it is not only rich in nutrients and palatable, but also has very lush branches and leaves, large ground coverage, and is a perennial deep-rooted plant. It plays a significant role in improving soil physical and chemical properties, increasing permeability, blocking runoff, preventing erosion, maintaining slope surface and reducing soil erosion.

Crucially, alfalfa's well-developed root system also provides a large amount of organic matter to the soil. Calcium is absorbed from the deep layer of the soil, phosphate is decomposed, left in the tillage layer, and decomposed to form organic colloids, which can make the soil form stable aggregates and improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil.

The nodules of alfalfa can fix nitrogen in the atmosphere, which has the effect of improving soil fertility. According to the study, alfalfa fields can ensure stable and high yields for three years without subsequent fertilization. The increase in production usually reaches three to fifty percent, or even more than one time as high.

Otherwise, there would not be a proverb in the farmer's house: "One acre of alfalfa and three acres of land will not be planted for three years." (To be continued......)
