When Li Er said this, his voice became a little cold.
But at this time, these officials didn't care so much.
In particular, some of the great scholars shouted that it was absolutely impossible!
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be decided! If this happens, wouldn't everyone in the world study farming instead of studying to fight?"
"Your Majesty, this matter violates the ancestral etiquette and laws. The etiquette is ruined and the music is ruined. The etiquette is ruined and the music is ruined!"
"Your Majesty, the sage once said that if you promote the virtuous, the people will overwhelm you..."
There were hundreds of civil and military officials throughout the dynasty, but few of them agreed.
All in opposition!
There were even very few who remained silent, and the vast majority of officials opposed Li Er's decision.
Some of them were even very excited and spoke extremely fiercely.
Pei Ji took the lead and looked at Li Er with a fierce expression!
If we didn't know his details, he would be the kind of "loyal, outspoken and outspoken" official in the history books!
In fact, Pei Ji mainly felt that something was wrong because Li Er had previously opened the imperial examination.
Now a craftsman has been conferred the title of marquis.
Then what will happen to these aristocratic families in the future?
Talented people emerge from generation to generation, and it is a high probability that each family will decline.
Pei Ji was more far-sighted than other members of the aristocratic family, so he spoke out against this matter.
this moment,
Li Er also fell silent.
In fact, he also guessed that such a situation would happen.
Even in the past, if a minister had mentioned this proposal to him, he would not have approved it.
But now...
From the corner of his eye, Li Er noticed that Wei Zheng and others did not speak, but all looked at him.
Then... they nodded in unison.
Li Er secretly sighed, as expected, everything must be explained clearly.
"Since everyone is not convinced... then I will tell you one more thing."
"The man who invented the curved shaft plow... also invented something else."
"This thing is called fertilizer."
…
"fertilizer?"
“What is fertilizer?”
"never heard of that!"
"Mr. Liu, have you heard of it? Mr. Jia, what about you?"
"I haven't heard of it either. Mr. Wang, have you heard of it?"
"I have never heard of chemical fertilizer..."
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
You ask me and I ask you, but I don’t even know what this fertilizer is.
Li Er smiled,
"Everyone has never heard of it, that's right. This fertilizer... you can regard it as a kind of medicine, a medicine that can be mass-produced."
"This thing cannot be refined except by this prodigy, and neither can anyone else."
"As for the effect, everyone... just follow me!"
"Master Pei, will you come with me too?"
After Li Er finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Ji with a smile, and then walked towards the back door of Ganlu Hall.
All the officials in the dynasty looked confused and had no idea.
But since His Majesty invites everyone to visit, there is naturally nothing more to say, just go along...
Only Pei Ji, whose originally smooth old eyes were now filled with surprise and doubt.
Surprised, uncertain and nervous!
Of course, Pei Ji was already very confused. What on earth is Li Er going to do today? What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?
But at this moment, there is more... fear!
That’s right, it’s fear!
A strong instinct told Pei Ji that what he just said would probably get him slapped in the face just like before!
But it doesn't make sense.
Pei Ji couldn't figure it out.
If he objects this time and is really slapped in the face...then there is only one situation!
This chemical fertilizer... is probably something that can increase production.
It might even be as magical as that Quyuanli.
So from this point of view, the person behind this is probably not simple, because the two techniques to increase production are obviously not something ordinary people can think of. This kind of talent, if not Zhuge Gongjin in the Three Kingdoms era, at least is
A capable minister is the kind who can leave his name in history.
As of now...
I'm afraid that if Li Er wants to get someone the title of Taifu Temple Minister, or the position of Minister of the Household Department, there will be no problem for him!
But how is this possible?
Pei Ji followed the crowd, frowning all the way.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was still impossible.
Why are there so many ways to increase production?
If it really existed, people would have used it long ago.
No.
Even if this thing is real, it will only increase the output by 20 to 30% at most, and it will never be as high as 50%!
Pei Ji quickly finished the calculation in his mind, and his walking pace became more confident...
Soon, we arrived at the Miyagi Imperial Garden.
This time, everyone finally understood where the recent smell was coming from.
Your Majesty actually built two vegetable plots here!
Although the flowers and plants you usually plant need to be fertilized, you don’t need to fertilize them too much.
The crop planted this time was leeks.
Since it is a crop, no wonder it needs to be fertilized continuously!
But it is much better now. Apparently Li Er has not applied more fertilizer in the past two days.
Everyone has arrived.
Li Er smiled and made a "please" gesture.
"Everyone, please look at the vegetable field."
"This is chemical fertilizer!"
…
"This...fertilizer?"
"Your Majesty, isn't this leek?"
Immediately, some ministers expressed doubts.
In fact, all the ministers were confused at this moment.
But Li Er burst out laughing.
"Everyone, the fertilizer in my hand has been used up. But the effect of this fertilizer is in front of you. How do you think?"
Everyone took a closer look,
But I saw that these two fields of leek... didn't seem to have anything special.
The growth is slow at first, the leaves of the leek are dry and yellow, and they are short in size.
The other side is as green as water, and the leek leaves are thick and tall, more than 10% taller than the one next to it.
This shocking contrast made everyone instinctively feel that something was wrong, but they couldn't explain clearly.
But soon, someone with quick reactions started screaming.
"This...this one uses chemical fertilizer and one does not use chemical fertilizer?!"
…
This scream alerted many officials.
None of them expected that there was one part of the vegetable field that was fertilized and one that was not!
Li Er chuckled.
"Everyone, these tall and green leek fields are cultivated with chemical fertilizers."
"The other piece was cultivated using ordinary farming methods."
"I have been testing the effect of this fertilizer during this period of time. Now...you have seen it, right?"
for a moment,
In the Imperial Garden, which was originally filled with whispers, exclamations broke out!
It turns out that the two vegetable fields are cultivated with different fertilizers!
and……
Everyone quickly realized a problem.
The leeks on this side are at least twice as tall as those on the other side.
Doesn't that mean...
"Oh my god, what on earth is this fertilizer? It can double the yield of crops??"
"Your Majesty said, this is a medicine!"
"It's too exaggerated. Could this be a fairy medicine?!"
"To be able to refine something like this is a great talent!"
