Chapter 30： Oriental Secrets

The new Lord Lord of Northumberland is indeed a typical nobleman. After testing his venom with a black cat, he dragged the cat's tail again, only to see the cat opened his eyes with a breath.

"Very good, I will keep poisoning next time." Cui Qichao glanced at the agricultural officer's eyes and added a sentence.

The farm officer has no opinion. He is not afraid of cat death but venom. Who knows how much it affects people.

Seeing that Xiaobai was hungry, Cui Qichao said to avoid revealing the filling, "The rest, I'll tell you next time I have a chance, you go back first."

Even if he is a ridiculous aristocrat and has a backstage in the church, he still cannot go too far. At this time, cat abuse is normal, and the cat is fed by the witch and possessed by the devil.

The farm officer hurriedly resigned, stating that he would study the secrets taught by the lord master. In fact, he was thinking about the words of the master, and the rest, the use of the insecticide vine by the master has been very detailed, including where the worm eggs are usually grown. Well, does the rest of the master say that he knows **** other bugs?

The farmer's heart warmed again, and he remembered all the plants in the territory that he had sent.

"Yes." Cui Qichao watched the agricultural officer leave.

As soon as the agricultural officer left, Xiaobai immediately ate up the peas in spirit, and Cui Qichao took out some remaining meat to feed it. In this age when most humans are insatiable, Xiaobai seems to be the happiest cat in the Middle Ages.

The farm officer didn't think wrong, of course, Cui Qichao knew how to deal with other bugs. Even if there were no pesticides in this era, nature is amazing. Like green manure crops that can be used as natural fertilizers, there are many plants that can be used as natural pesticides. Pesticide vines are just one of them.

The earliest commercial pesticides in the world are all extracted from plants. The Huaxia people have been using plant ash and grass fumigation to prevent insects, and there are even plants that can inhibit weed growth. For example, wheat actually contains active substances that suppress some weeds.

Leeks, garlic, peppers, peppers, and tobacco leaves do not all kill insects. However, one kilogram of garlic and leeks are crushed to remove the dregs, and a full kilogram of the syrup is mixed with up to ten kilograms of water before it has the effect of killing aphids and red spiders. The effect is almost 100%.

Who can luxury to use such pesticides in this era? Garlic is only grown in the gardens of the priests, and peppers are sold on sale. There are also some plants, the Northumberland collar and the entire continent do not exist.

Fortunately, Cui Qichao carefully looked at the plants growing in the territory, and there were also plants with various effects in it. After that, he should consider using some gaps for planting-after all, the cultivated land is so cherished at this time.

"Mi! Mi!" There were the sounds of two other kittens under the bed. They smelled the food and both crawled out.

Cui Qichao has seen many kittens in real life and in the virtual plane of the 21st century. No one is as thin as them. They should be hidden by female cats. They were caught by serfs after they found them. What is the cat?

Cui Qichao asked his servant to bring himself a bowl of goat's milk. At least on the food, as long as he showed a cold expression, those servants did not dare to say no to this strange-tempered master who didn't like the servant to be close to him.

Goat milk is mixed with beans, soak them soft, and then feed the two cats that are obviously thinner than Xiaobai. If they also give them dry peas, they may be choked.

After a short period of feeding, the white cat and orange cat had great trust in Cui Qichao. When his mother was absent, it was Cui Qichao who was feeding or was in an era of food shortage.

After the white cat was full, he started playing with Cui Qichao's hand. Cui Qichao said to him, "Sit down."

This white cat has seen the interaction between Cui Qichao and Xiaobai, and its imitation ability is so strong that he actually sat down.

"It's really a smart cat." Cui Qichao touched the white cat's head and glanced inadvertently.

"..." Xiaobai didn't know when to squat and stared here, his eyes narrowed into a semicircle, as if frowning.

Obviously it came first, and it also pastured ducks.

Although he is a devil-like person, he was taken away by other cats.

The white cat didn't even realize it, she just exposed her belly and coquettishly, showed her trust, and at the same time rolled her tongue and licked Cui Qichao's fingers.

"... Meow!"

Xiaobai screamed. Cui Qichao didn't think fast, watching the action of Xiaobai but couldn't stop it. The white cat was kicked by Xiaobai.

The white cat stumbled to the corner, and even the orange cat ducked timidly.

When the outside servant heard this voice, he wiped his sweat silently, and Lord Baron was abusing those evil cats again.

...

As Lord Baron said, this spring has more rainfall than in previous years, but bugs are beginning to appear.

Serf Dylan was just the first one. Next, bugs appeared even in the village two days away. As for further distance, I don't know yet.

The farm officer swelled hard, took his sons, and prepared the potion himself. The manor near him let the serf buy it himself. Far away, I had to camouflage the rhizomes so that they could not be seen, and then the messenger who sent the letter took them. We must explain that these medicines need to be replaced with wheat, and one grain is not less.

With Dylan as an example, the serf next to his place is a witness, and the wreckage of the place and the dead insects can be used as physical evidence. At least serfs or free people who live near the castle no longer consider the effect, just tangled. Those two bowls of wheat.

Of course, in the end, they still have to agree, otherwise they will lose more than two bowls.

In the past, the worms that grew and could not catch the clean wheat seedlings were stubbornly cleaned, and the entire land was reduced by more than half, and even the remaining seeds were not enough. How many serfs died of starvation?

It turns out that these two bowls of wheat are really good value for money. After the potion killed the stickworm, the stickworm did not reappear. In other words, this potion can not only kill the stickworm, but also prevent it!

This was further confirmed after the agricultural officer sprinkled potions on the land where the masters did not have larvae.

Everyone knows that Master Baron has been studying in the East for a long time. This is an unheard of way to give crops herbs, and it must have come from there. This made them think about the same problem as the agricultural officer while admiring it.

Lord Baron asked everyone to plant some grass in his field. Is n’t that for what magical effect?

You know, Lord Baron has commanded that he must be planted in his own land, including those fallow lands. After insecticide, the option for the Lord to play around can be ruled out, and the rest are noble masters.

Curiosity spread throughout the manor, and the serfs gathered together to speculate, what role can those "weeds" play, and can they keep other insects away?

The eyes of the serfs who were fortunate to have no grass in their fields suddenly changed. This is a savvy master, and those grasses that only the master can plant, suddenly look a little more beautiful. , Strong looks ...

Outside of serfs and free people, priests, stewards, and knights think more.

For the Aboriginals of Northumberland, the stewards and knights considered that the relationship with the agricultural officer might change in the future. It seems that he has been favored by the master.

This favor is so real that it is a jealous secret for insect control, enough to be the son of a farmer, the son of his son, and he will not worry about it for generations. I knew that they should respond more positively to all the orders of the master. Who would have thought that the young baron was so intelligent and generous.

Now, they can only approach the farm officer carefully, hoping to get some potions from the farm officer first in the season when the larvae are infested, so that their own land will not worry about the worms.

And those "weeds", they started looking for various opportunities and excuses to observe the weeds in the Lord's land. Then they found that the master planted the grass just like planting wheat, neat and tidy, with a certain number, if it exceeded, he would cut it and put it in another field.

This is not like going crazy, letting weeds compete for nutrition with their own food. Although the specific purpose is not known, it must be a good thing. Unfortunately, the grass on the territory is now being searched by the agricultural officer. Otherwise, they would like to study it carefully.

The daring but sly steward first asked the baron to take care of him, allowing him to follow him and plant the grass in his own field.

After thinking about it for a while, the baron reluctantly nodded and asked him to collect the grass seeds with the farm officer, and asked the farm officer to tell them the amount and distance of planting. Immediately afterwards, tax collectors, knights, and so on, all moved.

In the past, in the whole manor, the farm officer was by no means the most important person other than the master. Now, from the housekeeper to the tax officer and the sheriff, all smiled at him. The agricultural officer was deeply satisfied.

As for the priest, he was taxing the land on behalf of the church, so after the emergence of the stickworm, he paid attention, although he could not do anything about it.

But I didn't expect that the new Baron had it!

The priest wanted to write back to the church almost immediately, but he soon realized that the relationship between His Excellency the Baron and the Archbishop still required him to report it? What about him? It's still important that he try to have a good relationship with the baron.

...

In this atmosphere, Cui Qichao's next request, the stewards rushed to supervise and complete it for him.

Cui Qichao: "I noticed that there are feces everywhere."

Everyone nodded, yes, people, like livestock, defecate everywhere.

Cui Qichao: "No, everything in this territory belongs to me, including feces."

Everyone: "..."

stool? ? If it wasn't for the Baron Lord who showed the secret of killing insects not long ago, they would think that the Lord is talking ridiculous again.

Cui Qichao instructed: "Dig a few large pits in the white soil and collect all the feces and leftover dregs. The most important ones are cow dung, pig dung and goose dung. To a handful of oats. "

The stewards were shocked, changing the oats with feces? Where is this great thing coming from? Isn't this cheap for those serfs?

Why every time everyone changes his view on the master, he has to say something that is incomprehensible. Those weeds can make people believe that there are special effects after insecticides, but what is the use of worm-producing feces?

This question is destined to be buried in their hearts for several months, and the composting process will take months.

Cui Qichao only asked the housekeeper to come with his ears. "You collect some straw, spread it on the bottom of the pit, and then wait for it to be filled with feces before covering it with soil."

If you dig a pit in white soil, that is, saline-alkali ground, one of the effects is saved, that is, alkaline lime water.

The housekeeper's eyes widened, eh? Is there a place to keep such things secret? His breathing was quick, although he didn't know why, but it was the performance of the old man who believed him.

Everyone else stared at the housekeeper jealously, especially the agricultural officer. It seemed that there was a secret here, and the master only told the housekeeper. So once there is any benefit afterwards, the housekeeper must have enjoyed it first.

-Master Baron's request is more than this one.

Cui Qichao had previously asked people to dig trenches for their saline-alkali land to store water. This canal was to store rainwater on the one hand, and it was actually used as part of a water conservancy project.

The castle was not known to have been built by the Baron Northumberland. It seemed to have been specially selected. It was selected on a high ground, and the manor below was also winding around.

The serfs who live in this manor are relatively happy. In some villages, the distance between the land and the river is not so close.

However, they only water some water after sowing. For the rest of the time, who has time to move water from the river to water? There is too much farming. Even if you know that water is good for crops, you can only wait for it to rain.

Without water conservancy facilities, it will take hundreds of years for medieval farmers to understand how to build water conservancy projects for irrigation and drainage.

Now they really depend on the sky to eat, and how much rain God gives is just how much rain. God said that after sowing this year, there will be several times the harvest of seeds, and there will be several times the harvest.

Cui Qichao has carefully observed the shape of the field and asked the agricultural officer to measure it one by one. The place where the lord lives is mostly flat, so that the water is not in the top, and if it is, you have to repair the waterwheel.

There are also many types of dams. In the case of a manor, the water level and volume of the river can basically direct water into the canal, and sub-dams are built.

A sub-dam is set up on the river, and the water flow is irrigated to the field, and then the water is introduced into the aqueduct through the water diversion tank. When excess water is needed, or when irrigation is not needed in rainy days, the water returns to the river through the backwater trough.

Cui Qichao has inquired that although there is not much rain in Northumberland, the river in the dry season will not dry up, and in recent years there has been a trend of increasing rainfall. It is not necessary to use a dam to store water.

This is just a small canal system. Now serfs are far from capable of building large projects. Even the material of the dyke, Cui Qichao has to use the simplest. The stone must not be thought about. When and how long it will be built, the castle will be built with stone.

It can only be obtained from the site, and a layer of soil and a layer of grass are superimposed.

Although the construction of dams and canals takes time in the early stages, once it is repaired, it can save a lot of irrigation and drainage efforts, especially for farmers who have land far from the river.

Due to the rigidity of the people's thoughts in the Middle Ages, Cui Qichao only asked them to separate the water for the time being, and led them to their saline-alkali land and cultivated land to show them the role of hard-working irrigation.

The steward heard him say that he would build a water-separated grass mound, and then connected it with the previous ditch. Then he suddenly realized, "Master, wouldn't the water in the river flow to the field by itself?"

The ditches can only be filled with water, and it is also necessary to wait for rain to fall, but the diversion sounds very different.

Such intuitive things, other people still showed a look of sudden realization, but anyhow also understood, "Oh my God, isn't it like rain every day?"

Of course, they didn't realize it for a while, and repairing the canals was not that simple. The route, shape, and height all had to be planned in a unified way. The effects of arbitrarily repairing the canals may be counterproductive.

Cui Qichao saw that they were not uninstructable, and came with interest, and said, "When I traveled elsewhere, I found that they had a lot of rainwater, so I had to repair a lot of things to use the water flow, including this diversion irrigation, and there was too much water. There is also a way to drain water. "

Fortunately, these are all saline-alkali land. If it is a marshland, then he will build it crazy, or various drainage projects.

The stewards were eager to move. "Good, let those serfs pile up the soil and dig the trenches sooner, sir, we can see it as early as winter."

A savvy lord should also know that serfs have limited time. It is very difficult to carry out manual work such as digging canals and repairing dams outside so much farm work.

"Winter? No, you asked them to put aside some weeding work and set aside half of their time to dig a ditch," Cui Qichao said.

The farm official said confused: "Master, what about the weeds?"

These weeds are not the ones that the master specifically ordered to be planted. He has now determined that they are not weeds. But the real weeds in the field are not pulled out. How can wheat grow?

"Of course, weeds must be removed." Cui Qichao said lightly under the watchful eye of the stewards.

New weeds can be rotten by the way after the drains are repaired. The already grown weeds will be eliminated.

At this time, the metal farm implements should be cherished even by masters, and they were not lent at will, and the wooden farm implements were relatively few. Steamed bread is a rare thing passed down from family, and many farmers do not even have one, or the whole family only has one.

In other words, the serfs used their hands when doing a lot of farm work. Weeding also depends on both hands. For a few months after sowing, I have been relying on my hands to fight for life, faster than weeds. The most industrious and competent farmer with the most children has no weeds in the field.

In this way, Cui Qichao can't stand it!

reality. ljj playback platform.

Cui Qichao's first production of the male frequency, similar to the Western medieval background, started a little lord.

Because of the excellent performance of Cui Qichao in the female frequency, ljj is different from the previous work. The publicity has been strengthened a lot before the broadcast, and many recommendations have been made to promote the first episode.

What the Eastern Emperor's blood awakening appeared in the Middle Ages of the West. In the first episode, the highlights of the East, the secret techniques of the East, and the people of the Middle Ages were astounding.

On the day of the broadcast, it was due to a large number of audiences who followed from the women's frequency, and appeared on the men's frequency broadcasting list.

From the beginning, there was a crazy barrage.

[Old viewers come to support, President Cui must shine equally well in the Middle Ages! 】

[Science to the general audience, we Cui Cui inherited the blood of Emperor Yan of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors of China. When the emperor can do it properly, the little master is here, please look forward to the next surprise! 】

[Sit in the front row, bring my heart pills, and we are really excited about what happened. 】

[Sit in the front row and bring my little lunch box. 】

[Wow, you guys are really bad ...]

At first glance, the male-band viewers saw these old audiences with a somewhat distorted mentality. They believed that they were true, and thought that they were fabulous. The emperor's blood awakening had only produced a work, so many supporters, and also chased the male-band It seems that this show will really be very exciting.

Only a few people noticed anything wrong from this over-enthusiastic recommendation, but it was late and the show had already begun.

Cui Qichao first saved three cats and won everyone's favor. Whether in male or female frequency, it is the consensus that small animals cannot die. Then came medieval dark cuisine.

In the medieval reality show, this is a fixed routine. It is also one of the laughing spots to see the starring actors poisoned by dark cuisine to death.

[Oh my cat, Cui Qichao must want to be white ...]

[Cui Qichao is blessed when I go to so many fields. 】

[? ? Don't even think of calling the black cat Xiaobai]

[Okay, I know you can train cats]

[Seeing these dishes, I feel a familiar atmosphere, then the next should be ...]

[I opened my lunch box. 】

Unsurprisingly the old audience, the next moment, Cui Qichao forced the chef to start grilling meat. The aroma of the roasted lamb with oil and tenderness and the outer focus was almost passed through the screen and into the nose of the person. slow motion.

The detailed gourmet shots showed that the audience was all drooling, and the unprepared new audience could only mourn:

Watching the show on the medieval plane, they really are not ready for the appearance of food! Why do Eastern emperors even barbeque?

Immediately afterwards, the highlight came. In the most exciting part of the episode, Cui Qichao showed a secret technique from the East-deworming.

[... It's amazing, but it's a little different from what I imagined. I thought I would lay down all the knights, make them happy and sincere, and vowed to fight with the lord. 】

[Well, that's too old-fashioned in the Middle Ages. Why don't you say that the knights knelt and kissed their hands when the tiger's body shook? 】

[It's pretty cool, the caretaker was beaten, kneeled and licked the lord, and the reversal of the fate of the serf was full of gratitude for the starring, is it a **** ... Is this the meaning of this show? The boss wants to fight one by one, and look forward to more exciting plots later! 】

[It makes sense to have food before the war. This is the right way to do it. I also support the lead star to help plant the land! 】

[Support, no comments, Cui Cui Chongya! Get some food! 】

[Guangji grain, doing big things, we Cui Qichao will never let your brothers down! 】

[Cui Qichao is the best! The blood of the emperor is overbearing! 】

[……]

[Don't you really think the painting style of the old audience looks strange? ? My mother is a Chinese, I suddenly thought that this show might not be the same as I thought ...]
