Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 3430

Lu Xiaofo asked people to hold two pots of fruit seedlings, each of which was as high as her knees. Lu Xiaofo said: "The fruit trees here are growing well. People often ask me for saplings, so I am used to them. The fruit tree has grown, if you want to transplant it, just take out the soil together, but the climate in other places may not be suitable for it."

   "I know." She will include the soil in the encyclopedia, and the weather here will also be reported.

  But these two pots of tangerines are not to be included in the encyclopedia, what she wants to include is...

   Zhou Man’s eyes fell on the fruit trees in the orchard, and he smiled: “I know the method of pruning fruit branches. I saw today and found that some fruit trees have too luxuriant branches and leaves. This is not good for the fruits. I will prun them for them.”

  Lu Xiaofo: "...Master Zhou, this fruit tree is very important to us in Liuzhou, and most of the oranges that pay tribute every year come from here."

   "Don't worry, I won't cut it for you."

  Zhou Man has been studying flowers and plants for so many years, not only digging for Keke, she has naturally learned a lot of skills.

  Pruning and cutting are the most basic. . .

  Lu Xiaofo pondered for a moment and took the scissors to her.

  Zhou Man walked in the orchard with shears. She said that pruning is really pruning the branches that are too luxuriant.

   is not an idiot.

   Zhou Man chose the fruit branches and pruned them carefully. While pruning, they also communicated with the anxious fruit growers on the side.

  The fruit grower who was still sweating cold slowly stopped. Hey, this nobleman from outside seems to really plant fruit trees...

   Zhou Man walked in the orchard and cut off a lot of fruit branches, followed by Bai Shan, no matter how long or short, thick or thin, all put away, and if he couldn't hold it, he gave it to his servant.

  Waiting to walk the orchard again, they also collected a small cart of fruit branches.

  Lu Xiaofo was stunned. He didn't understand what Bai Shanshou did with these branches, but he subconsciously found these things useful.

   Zhou Man did not hide it, put down the scissors, picked up a fruit branch and fruit farm road from the car: "This can be cut."

  Fruit grower: "We know."

   Zhou Man asked: "Then have you tried grafting on other fruit trees?"

  She said: "I looked at the cut marks on the fruit trees, and combined with the fruits still hanging, the yield is not high."

  Fruit farmers are accustomed to, "This is a good thing, naturally there are few."

   Zhou Man did not refute this sentence, but only suggested: "But maybe you can cultivate other flavors of tangerine, maybe it will be high-yield?"

She said: "Isn't this the current new rice seeds? The imperial court will produce new seeds every three or two years, or they are more suitable for dry land, or more resistant to pests, or more resistant to floods. They are It’s been studied alternately from generation to generation."

  Does the fruit grower understand or not, and insists not to graft, Lu Xiaofo, who is on the side, remembers it in his heart, and intends to find someone to try it later.

   Zhouman wants to take away all these fruit branches, the fruit grower is not worried.

This tangerine is out of Liuzhou, and the taste is somewhat different. Although it is almost the same for most people, it is a big difference in the mouths of the distinguished guests who are picky and used to eating their tangerines. difference.

  So not only people outside can’t take away their business, even other places in Liuzhou can’t take it away.

  Because they have the best soil here, they are grown from other places, either because they are a little more acidic, or because they don’t have enough moisture...

  Their output is limited. Except for tribute, they will only sell to some regular customers at high prices, and they will be transported to other places to sell.

  So they are not afraid that other people will grow tangerines to grab their business.

  Geographical environment determines their natural customer base is different.

  Lu Xiaofo naturally knew this too, so he didn’t stop Zhou Man from taking away the fruit branches. He even gave the fruit trees to feed. Is there still a few fruit branches?

  And this time Zhou Man’s proposal made him figure out one thing.

  You can also grow tangerines in other places. Even if the dry mouth is not as good as here, it is still delicious. Selling it will also benefit a lot. Why did he think about planting on this piece of land before?

  If we can graft other fruit trees...

  Lu Xiaofo returned to his senses, and saw that Bai Shan and Zhou Man had gone far, he hurried to catch up, "Master Zhou, what do you think of the soil quality of our mountain?"

   Zhou Man nodded and said: "Very good, I will dig a pot and take it back." Give it to Keke and let the Encyclopedia study it. Maybe they can cultivate better-performing tangerines there?

  Lu Xiaofo asked, "Do you think it is suitable for planting medicinal materials?"

   Zhou Man asked, "Do you want to grow medicinal materials on this?"

  She frowned and thought about it later, “If medicinal materials are planted under the fruit trees, then the Xiyang medicinal materials will be eliminated, and can you maintain the power of the earth?"

Bai Shan chuckled, and nodded with Lu Xiaofo, indicating that he would take Zhou Man’s hand to Yin or that side. "Guanyin means that you think the geology of Liuzhou is suitable for your imperial medical office." Medicinal herbs."

"Huh?" Zhou Man stopped, turned and walked back, "It means, it's suitable, honeysuckle, mint, Polygonatum, platycodon, poria, cinnamon, shegan, white peony, and even Tianqi, which is in short supply today, here It can be planted."

After all, it’s what Yang Heshu told her to pay attention to. This is another important matter of the Imperial Medical Office. Zhou Man’s previous order is still very concerned. This time combines the quality of the medicinal materials she dug in the mountains and the encyclopedia’s review of the included plants. According to her analysis, she quickly came up with the quantity and quality of medicinal materials suitable for planting here.

"Especially honeysuckle, peppermint and platycodon, these three types are consumed in large quantities by medical offices every year, not to mention Tianqi, it is precious. My fourth brother said that the good Tianqi powder outside Guan, one or two Tianqiyi Two golds." Tian Qi’s Jinchuang medicine prescriptions are only available in Jishitang and the Imperial Medical Office, but as the medical books compiled by Zhou Man spread throughout the world, the world’s doctors also know that it is a Jinchuang magical medicine that can stop bleeding. , And can invigorate the blood, both raw and cooked.

  There are many prescriptions derived from Tianqi, most of which are recorded in her medical books, and a small part are summarized by doctors in various places after repeated deductions and use. Therefore, the demand for Tianqi is also increasing.

  Fortunately, the Central Plains region, in the northern part of the Western Regions further away, Tian Qi is difficult to buy, or there is no market at all.

  Especially in the Western Regions, there have even been people trading a gem for one or two Tianqi.

  Lu Xiaofo had naturally heard of these rumors, and was excited when he heard that, “Can you plant in Liuzhou?”

   "Yes," Zhou Man asked directly, "but do you have land?"

  "We can open up wasteland," Lu Xiaofo said, "I know that many medicinal materials can be planted directly on the mountain. Because it takes a long time, your Imperial Medical Office sometimes directly recommends sowing seeds and letting them grow to a sufficient number of years before picking them."

   "Yes," Zhou Man said: "For example, white peony roots are usually planted for four years before they can be picked. Sanqi is three years."

  She paused and said, “Furthermore, Panax notoginseng planting is not easy, and it is very prone to pests and diseases after the age is long, but if you confirm the planting, the Imperial Medical Office will definitely send someone to give instructions.”

  Now the Imperial Medical Office can train more students, and naturally there will be more employment directions, but they will work for the Imperial Medical Office for ten years, and the salary will not be less.

  But if they leave, they need to pay a large amount of liquidated damages, which is also because their study and life in the department are free.

  Because of this, in recent years, many children of the poor family have gone to the Imperial Medical Office to study, and women in the world have also had many opportunities.

See you tomorrow
