Chapter 127 Birth of a Saint

   Tip was secretly happy just now, but now after hearing what Fang Jifan said, he was a little dazed!

  Is this thing done?

   But Fang Jifan had already accepted the sweet potato with a smile, checked it carefully, and confirmed that there was no mildew, and there seemed to be no other traces of disease.

Now that the things were in his hands, Fang Jifan naturally didn\'t have the heart to deal with the Hu merchants anymore, after sending the Hu merchants away, he immediately asked someone to find Wang Jinyuan: "Hurry up and find a tank, and let\'s build a greenhouse immediately. "

  Now that I have sweet potatoes, I have to find a way to let the sweet potatoes germinate and bear fruit, but...

  How to grow this sweet potato?

  First of all... the sweet potatoes must be germinated. The hydroponics method is a bit risky, so Fang Jifan decided to take care of everything.

   Therefore, you can only find a dark and humid place, and you can create an environment in the tank, but at the same time, the temperature must be kept at around 20 to 30 degrees.

   After all the work, this sweet potato was carefully protected in a greenhouse!

This conservatory... is Wang Jinyuan\'s bedroom. Because Wang Jinyuan often comes here to stare at him, he specially asked someone to build him a small house with blue bricks and red tiles. It is completely different from the usual houses built with rammed earth, and it is more refined. Other than that, it is burning charcoal, but at the same time, just in case, a temporary flue is specially set up. Although it is anthracite, Fang Jifan hopes that even a little bit of gas can be discharged cleanly. .

  In the tank, some soil has been put in, and some water has been poured into the soil to create a humid environment. The sweet potato is then placed in the tank.

  Fang Jifan was in the mood to take care of Wang Jinyuan after finishing all these tasks, but Wang Jinyuan looked at him resentfully.

  Fang Jifan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and now he only hoped that the sweet potato would germinate smoothly.

  If it really can germinate and try to grow it...

  Thinking about it, it’s all scary. Not only is the yield per mu of this sweet potato arguably against the sky, but the real killer feature is not only this, but it is a crop with strong adaptability!

Rice and other crops are too delicate, require a lot of water, and have high requirements on the fertility of the land, but this sweet potato is different. In many environments, even in many people\'s so-called "rotten land" in the usual sense, It can also reproduce and grow.

  If it really succeeds, then...it will benefit the world!

The population of the Ming Dynasty has been maintained at tens of millions. Even with this population, it is still because the land is difficult to support people, resulting in a large number of refugees. However, in the Qing Dynasty, the population increased tenfold, reaching 400 million. It can barely support ten times the population.

   Among them, it is the credit of sweet potatoes.

   Now Fang Jifan comes to Xishan almost every day.

   But after that, he didn\'t come alone.

  Tang Yin is a talented person. Fang Jifan treats him very well. Naturally, he allows him to study at home, and the most important thing is to paint.

As for the other disciples, they were not so polite. The three of Ouyang Zhi were arrested and escorted by their teacher to go to the west mountain to dig the ground, but Xu Jing was different from the three of Ouyang Zhi. His injuries had already healed. He was very interested in Xishan, and went with him with a compass.

  As soon as he arrived at Xishan, he began to babble, talking about the mountain situation of Xishan, just like a Fengshui master.

  Fang Jifan hates Mr. Feng Shui the most, and he inevitably kicked Xu Jing: "Stop being a ghost here, I hate it!"

"Teacher..." The compass in Xu Jing\'s hand fell, but he hurriedly bent over to pick it up. Seeing that the compass was safe, he was relieved, and then said pitifully: "Teacher, the student has a good understanding of geography, so this visit is inevitable." ...I want to see the mountains and water here..."

  Fang Jifan remembered this. It should be a family inheritance. Xu Jing’s grandson is Xu Xiake, and Xu Xiake is the first person in Ming Dynasty Geography. This must be related to the influence of the family.

  Xu\'s family is a rich family, with countless books in the family. Presumably Xu Jing is very interested in this landscape, and has read countless ancient books, so he naturally knows this geography by heart.

   "Then tell me, how is the terrain near Xishan Mountain?" Fang Jifan couldn\'t help asking questions.

The three of Ouyang Zhi pitifully picked up their hoes and joined the labor force of Zhang Xin and other pro-military lieutenants. It\'s just that they came wearing Lun scarves and Confucian robes, so it was inconvenient to work, and they seemed very awkward. clumsy look.

Seeing the scene of the three senior brothers sweeping the floor gracefully, Xu Jing couldn\'t help but thumped in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Since the students left the capital, five miles away, the mountain has opened. After another mile, the mountain gradually closed. The river is surrounded by stones, which is very interesting. This mountain has no peaks..."

   "Speak human words!" Fang Jifan\'s head got big when he heard it.

  So Xu Jing said: "The terrain of this mountain is very ordinary, but the mountains in the north are rocky, um...students can\'t tell for a while, why don\'t...students do a survey for the teacher and make a map for the teacher."

  Fang Jifan couldn\'t help but his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Hey, you can also draw maps?"

The so-called map is a map. It is really difficult to draw a map accurately, but without a map, it is indeed inconvenient to do many things, such as the kiln for making glass next, and the planning of the land, etc. Wait.

   "When my father was alive, he was the best at this. The students followed my father and learned a lot."

   "Then I will leave this matter to you." Fang Jifan nodded happily.

As the captain of Tuntian, there are many things to do. On the one hand, we need to make glass; on the other hand, we need to build a brick kiln. To build a special greenhouse for raising seedlings, of course, it is necessary to take care of Fang Jifan\'s \'baby\'.

   Now, in Fang Jifan\'s view, there is nothing more important in this world than the sprouting of sweet potatoes.

  But after observing for a few days, there seemed to be no signs of germination, which made Fang Jifan depressed for a while, and faintly anxious in his heart.

This day was still the same as usual. After telling his disciples and the people from the Baihusuo of Xishan Tuntian to reclaim the land, Fang Jifan hid in the greenhouse again, and then came out disappointed, only to see Wang Jinyuan outside saying: "Young master, these days there have been A strange person haunts here."

   "Strange person?" Fang Jifan froze for a moment, then looked at Wang Jinyuan questioningly.

"That man was dressed as a scholar, and his age...should be less than 30 years old. He came early in the morning and didn\'t make a sound after he came. He just squatted in the reclaimed wasteland and watched people reclaim the land. He remained motionless for a long time. .”

"The young one sees that he is a scholar, so it\'s not easy to drive him away. It\'s just that there are no people here besides our Xishan Coal Industry and the farm. At noon, at first he took out dry food from his arms to eat, and later The villain saw that he was pitiful, so he simply invited him to have a light meal with everyone. From then on, he didn\'t bring any dry food. He came here every morning and squatted down to watch, motionless, like a wooden stake. Then we ate and left in the evening."

  Fang Jifan was dumbfounded when he heard it. This rhythm...is there still someone who eats Fang Jifan\'s food?

   "Go, go and have a look."

   So Wang Jinyuan led Fang Jifan to a few miles outside the Tuntian Station, and saw the school captains digging flues and reclamation here, all sweating profusely.

They have never suffered so much in their life, but after these days, they are much stronger and darker. Sweat is pouring out of their bodies, and the veins on each arm are bursting out. That letter has long since lost the appearance of a boy.

Sure enough, not far away, a man with the appearance of a scholar was squatting on the ground, staring intently at the school captains who were in full swing. He pursed his lips, looking thoughtful, and even Fang Jifan approached, but he didn\'t care. .

  Fang Jifan was very rude, and kicked his back directly from behind him.

   This is already Fang Jifan\'s habitual action. It\'s fine for this guy to come here to make a living. In fact, Fang Jifan is not a stingy person, but this person looks more like a spy. Could it be that he came to inquire about the secrets of Xishan?

  It\'s just... the moment the kick came down, the scholar who was squatting on the ground seemed to have a sudden reaction, and immediately turned around, dodging lightly at an extremely fast speed.

  Fang Jifan rushed to nothing, staggered, and was about to fall to the ground, but the scholar was like a spirit snake, and he held Fang Jifan firmly.

  Hoo...

  Fang Jifan\'s face turned pale and he was embarrassed.

  The scholar took a step back, and saluted Fang Jifan: "Student Wang Shouren, you have taken the liberty to come here, please don\'t be surprised."

  Wang Shouren...

  Wang Shouren, how could Fang Jifan not recognize that this guy...knows martial arts?

But soon, Fang Jifan remembered that Wang Shouren had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and learned how to bow and horse. In later generations, many people only remembered his status as a great Confucian and his achievements in leading troops to put down the rebellion of King Ning, but they ignored him. A skilled archer.

  Just now he was extremely fast and his speed was astonishing, I\'m afraid his martial arts are not weak.

Naturally, Fang Jifan also knew that Wang Shouren was ranked fourth in this test, but Fang Jifan didn\'t want to make friends with Wang Shouren. First, it didn\'t seem to be of any benefit, and second, his father, Wang Hua, always looked at him in Zhan Shifu. The expression that he owed him a million taels of silver.

   "What are you doing here?" Fang Jifan naturally would not be polite.

  Wang Shouren looked gentle, pursed his lips and said: "The student is investigating things."

   "Gewu..." Fang Jifan couldn\'t understand!

  Wang Shouren said patiently: "It is to study the principles of things, such as how Mr. Fang\'s melons are grown."

  Uh... What a pain in the ass.

  Fang Jifan had no choice but to say: "Oh, I see."

  He couldn\'t beat him again and again, so why did he ask a group of people to beat him up?

   Well, I\'m too lazy to talk to him.

   The first update is delivered.
