Chapter 790 Young General vs. Rich Lady 93
"It's terrible. All the crops have dried up. They say there's something wrong with the fertilizer. They're making a scene outside the county government office."
Yan Changfeng rushed in like a gust of wind, giving Wenbo a big fright.
Wen Bo quickly led the people in. Huo Xiao was very calm. "I have heard that only a small part of the fields have such problems. Most of the crops are still growing well."
"It's impossible for all these crops to grow. Perhaps some of the seeds are not suitable for the climate of Pingyang City. Have you checked? What kind of crops are withering? Is there anyone causing trouble and deliberately destroying the crops?"
Yan Changfeng sat down and took a sip of tea. "Do you think I'm stupid? I have checked it out. No one is causing trouble. The withered crops are of all kinds, and the plots are different. If it's because the land is bad, it's strange that crops in good fields are withering."
Ji Yunhuan was attending a meeting on the old city renovation project; it was routine business, nothing special.
She asked everyone to disperse, returned to the car and started to think of a solution, "Take pictures of the withered crops and send them to me, or take videos directly. Take more pictures, and I will ask an expert."
"Let the people go first. As long as they didn't do it on purpose, we can give them some seeds to plant other things later. They will always have a harvest."
Ji Yunhuan contacted his classmates from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and invited them out for dinner.
She didn't beat around the bush and took out the tablet to show Chu Feng, "The seeds we bought last time were supposed to be disease-resistant and insect-resistant, but I don't know what went wrong. A large area of them withered."
"Help me take a quick look. Is he seriously ill? Is he still able to be saved? If he really can't be saved, what other crops can we grow at this time? It would be best if they are drought-resistant and have a high yield."
Chu Feng looked through it carefully, then zoomed in on the image, focusing on a withered wheat seedling, frowning tightly, "Where did you plant this? It's so desolate, there are no supporting facilities, and it all depends on manpower."
"The key is that the people you found are not very reliable. You spent so much money on an ecological farm, but you don't want to lose it all in the end. I am of course happy that you bought so many products developed by our team, but as a friend, I want to remind you that agriculture is not that easy to do."
Ji Yunhuan was a little nervous, staring at Chu Feng eagerly, "Professor Chu, is this disease difficult to treat? Will it be transmitted to other seedlings? Will this large field be ruined?"
"Don't worry about where I plant them. These crops must be grown, otherwise many people will starve. I will pay you for the consultation fee. Please help me find a solution."
Ji Yunhuan was about to take out his cell phone to transfer money, but Chu Feng quickly stopped him.
"No, no! You've already spent so much money on me. It's just a small problem. No consultation fee is required."
"In fact, it's just that too much fertilizer was used, which burned the seedlings. It looks like it's just the beginning, so it's not serious. The solution is also very simple. Just water more to reduce the concentration of nutrients in the soil so that the crops can absorb water normally. You can also prune the withered branches and leaves to help the crops recover quickly."
"You should be more careful. I know your family is rich, but you shouldn't waste money like this. Find some professional people to do the planting. You can't even handle such a simple problem. What kind of people are you looking for? Do you want me to recommend a few people to you so that you won't be cheated?"
Ji Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Thank you, Professor Chu. I'll ask them to correct it right away."
"I would like to send professionals over, but it's not easy. I have no choice but to let them figure it out on their own and I will provide remote guidance."
"I'm not helping for nothing, I've made some money too. Professor Chu, please enjoy your meal. I've already paid the bill. I'm leaving now. I'll come back to you next time if I need anything."
Ji Yunhuan ran away in a hurry. Now that he knew the reason, the solution was much easier.
Yan Changfeng knew that the seedlings were burned, so he summoned the grain-growing officers under his command. Some of them were experienced farmers with rich business experience, and some were literate students. Together they tried to learn how to grow new crops.
"Tomorrow you all go to the fields and tell the people that chemical fertilizers are different from farmyard manure. The more you use, the better. If you use too much, the crops will die!"
The next day, Yan Changfeng wore his official uniform and rain boots and went to a field near the county government office.
There was no other way, as there were not enough people, so Minister Yan had to go to the grassroots level in person to guide the work.
Yan Changfeng put one hand on his waist and held a loud speaker in the other hand and shouted: "I told you when you received the fertilizer that you should listen to the grain planting officer. But you worked hard and didn't listen to the instructions at all. If you had listened carefully at the village entrance, you wouldn't have planted the crops like this!"
"Fortunately, it's not a big problem now. Just water it more. Okay, okay, let's all go. I have to catch the next one."
Every failure makes you wiser. In the past, when using farmyard manure, there were not so many details to pay attention to. Fertilizer was always insufficient, so naturally the more the better. When people first heard that they should not apply too much fertilizer, they were skeptical, but now they believe it completely.
The seedlings grew bigger day by day, and just by looking at their size they were obviously bigger than any crops they had grown before, so the farmers worked with more enthusiasm.
The hot summer is finally over and the weather is starting to get cooler.
Huo Xiao received some news one after another, and there were unusual movements in both Qi and Lu countries.
Xu Sheng reported: "It has been confirmed that Qi has mobilized 200,000 troops and is lurking on the border of Wei. They claim to want to take back Qi's territory. They have already crossed the border line set last time. There are no obstacles along the way, and they will soon reach Pingyang City."
"The Lu State made less noise and did not openly say that it was going to attack the Wei State, but they frequently deployed troops and generals. They must want to follow behind and reap the benefits. There is also Guangling City between the Lu State and Pingyang City. They can either attack here or bypass Guangling City. They will definitely be one step slower than the Qi State."
Zhao Shan sneered and said, "The border between Wei and Qi is a mess. It's hard to tell. To be honest, the Northern Rong have taken one-third of Qi's land. Why doesn't it attack the Northern Rong? It's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
"Although the six countries often have frictions due to territorial issues, when facing the Northern Rong, everyone is united in facing the outside world. This is for the greater good! Right now, the Northern Rong are still determined to invade the Central Plains. Not only do they not help fight the Northern Rong, but they also attack the Wei State in turn. It is clear that they are colluding with the Northern Rong!"
Yan Changfeng cursed, "These bastards! They must have known that there is food in Pingyang City and had evil intentions. The Northern Rong couldn't break in, but they dared to do it! Come on if you are not afraid of death, I will blow them to death!"
Huo Xiao had expected this to happen, so he remained calm. He stared at the sand table for a while and changed a few places, but still felt a little unsafe.
"The gods said that there are enough weapons, but the people coming from Qi and Lu are a little more than I thought. We are short of manpower, and it is definitely not enough to fight on three fronts. It would be best if we could hold off the troops from Qi and Lu first. We don't seek victory, but just leave a buffer period."
"Wangdu should have received the news, right? What's the situation? Should we dispatch troops to intercept the troops from Qi and Lu? Which general should we send?"
