Yan Lin, it's not as serious as you say, right? I've never heard of anything to pay attention to when heading…"
"Just like how I told you that there's something wrong with your brain, you knew it too.”Yan Lin looked at Li Shiming with a mocking smile.
Li Shi Min's face froze, and he looked a little embarrassed.
The Empress gently tugged at Li Shi Min's clothes, signaling him not to be angry.
Li Shi Min didn't show it on his face, but he was cursing in his heart.
What a good little bastard, actually framing me in his heart like this.
How dare you say it in front of me?
It was simply detestable.
If it wasn't for the fact that I can't reveal my identity to you, I would have whipped you to death.
Zhang Chuchen looked surprised.
After being said like this by Yan Lin, the Emperor actually didn't dare to say anything.
But thinking about it, it made sense. It seemed that the Emperor was unwilling to expose his identity. Otherwise, Yan Lin would not dare to say such a thing.
Li Niannian looked at Yan Lin with a strange smile in his eyes.
Yan Lin had his back to everyone, so he naturally did not notice everyone's different expressions.
"Village chief, uncles, you must remember what I told you.”Yan Lin spoke to the three people in front of him.
"Brother Yan, please tell us. We will definitely not forget.”Village Chief replied.
The other two nodded.
The villagers had absolute faith in Yan Lin, so they naturally wouldn't doubt his words.
"First of all, the water in the fields must be a finger deep. It can't be too much or too little.”Yan Lin said. "Why?" Li Shi Min couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
However, Li Shi Min regretted it after asking this question.
With this question, wouldn't it make it seem that his knowledge was inferior to Yan Lin's?
He was the emperor, how could he…
As expected, Yan Lin turned around and rolled his eyes at Foreman Li, but he also explained,"If the irrigation is too deep during heading, the rice stalks will become soft and easy to fall. At the same time, diseases such as the sheath beetle will spread and worsen.”
"If the paddy field is short of water, it will cause the heading to be uneven and the number of empty grains to increase.”
"No matter what the situation is, it will have a huge impact on the future harvest.”
So that was how it was!
Li Shi Min nodded inwardly.
He thought to himself that Yan Lin actually knew so much. He was really amazing.
"In addition, when heading, it consumes a lot of nutrients. Remember to sprinkle fertilizer on the leaves.”
"Plant ash will do." Yan Lin continued.
Unless he couldn't find any phosphorous ore and couldn't make phosphorous acid, he could use plant ash to make monocratic potassium ortho.
This was the most suitable fertilizer for rice when it was heading.
The few of them nodded. Behind them, Li Shi Min, the Empress, and the others listened attentively.
The shock in his heart grew stronger.
Yan Lin even knew how to plant rice. His words were clear and logical. He was definitely not talking nonsense.
Li Shi Min looked at the Empress and his smile became brighter.
The Empress smiled, but her gaze was fixed on Yan Lin.
"The last thing to pay attention to is this kind of insect.”Yan Lin grabbed a small bug from the rice leaf.
The village chief was old, so he could only see it clearly when he was very close.
Li Shiming and the others also came over, only to see a small white bug in Yan Lin's hand.
"This insect is quite common. It often appears in my family's rice fields. As long as there are such insects, the harvest is very small?”
"I wonder if there is any way to prevent it.”Li Shi Min asked curiously.
He had a deep memory of this kind of insect.
Last year, he had planted some rice in the palace.
Li Shi Min thought that the harvest would be good, but who knew that not long after, these white insects would appear.
After that, the rice stalks fell down in patches, and most of the ears of rice were empty.
He had worked hard for a few months, but these bugs had actually spoiled him.
Li Shi Min was furious.
Now, it seemed that Yan Lin had a way to deal with this kind of insect. " The Rites of Zhou recorded that 'good grass was used to attack it,''wild grass was used to smoke it,''clam charcoal was used to attack it,''ash was used to poison it,''burning chrysanthemum was used to sprinkle ash,' and so on..."
"Yan Lin, these methods are too ancient. These bugs can't be killed at all.”Li Shi Min shook his head.
He secretly thought that Yan Lin's method was actually only like this.
He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
"Did I say I was going to use this method?”Yan Lin looked at Li Shiming strangely.
"Then why did you say it?" Li Shi Min said unwillingly.
"Is it illegal for me to say it?" Yan Lin said to Li Shiming with a faint smile.
Foreman Li was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
This little brat, can't he not embarrass me like this?
Li Shi Min stared at Yan Lin, waiting for his answer.
If Yan Lin's method wasn't reliable...
No matter what, he had to make Yan Lin embarrass himself. Who asked this little brat to keep competing with him?
The Empress shook her head and secretly thought that Yan Lin had a strange temper. However, she was looking forward to the method Yan Lin had mentioned.
"There are many ducks in the village.”
"Also, tell the little wimps not to catch frogs. Soon, the pests will decrease.”Yan Lin said with a smile.
"Is it that simple?" Li Shi Min looked at Yan Lin with a strange expression.
How could Li Shiming believe that the pests that had annoyed him for several days were so easy in Yan Lin's eyes?
Wasn't this a slap to his face?
"A small area is naturally not a problem. If it is a large area of pests and diseases, then it is not something that a few ducks can solve.”Yan Lin said indifferently.
Li Shi Min didn't expect Yan Lin to be so calm, and the anger in his heart calmed down a lot.
He no longer had the same thoughts as before.
"Yan Lin, I didn't expect you to have such ability. It's really unbelievable.”The Empress looked at Yan Lin, her eyes filled with gratification.
"That's right. Little Brother Yan is a talent from our Ten Li Eight Village. If it wasn't for his poor health and the fact that there was no one in the court, this year's top scholar would definitely be our Little Brother Yan.”The village chief said with a smile.
There was no flattery in his expression. Instead, he was extremely sincere.
The other two villagers also looked serious.
Li Shi Min didn't expect this.
"Didn't the Sage say that he would take all the talents in the world? How could there be no way?”Li Shi Min looked at them strangely.
"How could you not know that although the Great Tang is ruled by the Saints, the greatest forces are the Five Families and Seven Wangs?”
"Which official of the Imperial Court doesn't have the shadow of these families behind them? Us poor commoners, heh, no matter how talented we are, without people, we can only coop ourselves up in the fields for the rest of our lives.”The village chief shook his head, looked at Yan Lin, and sighed softly.
If all the commoners could participate in the imperial examination, why would such a talented young man like Brother Yan need to run a tavern in Chang 'an?
"Village chief, don't say these things in the future.”Yan Lin and Village Chief instructed.
