In order to supply bees in the capital, there were hundreds of honey households registered in the Qing Dynasty. Beekeepers passed down from generation to generation, leaving behind rich beekeeping technology. Insect courtyards conducted research on the reproduction of bees, hoping to cultivate bee species with larger honey production and sweeter honey through hybridization of different bee species. Propolis, which is more precious than honey, is the favorite of concubines in the harem.

In addition, the old farmers in the insect garden discussed with their peers and expanded their thinking based on their experience in contact with various insects, intending to record more insect research results in the insect garden.

The Yinreng farm covers a large area and has opened a courtyard to tinker with natural fertilizers.

"According to His Royal Highness, the manure used by people nowadays is used as fertilizer. Although this type of fertilizer has a long time of fertilizer efficiency, it has not been completely converted into the nutrients needed for crops. The starting time needs to be accelerated. In addition, the absorption rate of manure absorption in crops also needs to be strengthened."

Chen Mengqiu took the message given by Yinreng and thought about the fresh words: "Absorption rate means how much a basin of manure can be eaten in a crop."

According to the information given by His Royal Highness, mixing manure with fish bone meal can have a wonderful fertilizer effect. "fermentation and decomposition" is an important process of converting manure into nutrients. What Chen Mengqiu is receiving now is to study this "fermentation and decomposition".

If fertilizers can work, they need to plant crops to test. This is not something that can be done overnight. The prince also gave him plenty of time to do this.

"Fertilizers that can increase crop nutrition and increase grain yield are worth studying," Chen Mengqiu pinched his nose.

Alas, the only thing that is not beautiful is that the smell is too bad.

Xinyu said: "Manager Chen can't stand this unpleasant smell, just tell his subordinates to do it. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

"You don't understand this kind of fantasy idea, witnessing it from scratch, seeing something you've never seen before, you don't understand," Chen Mengqiu said deeply.

Xinyu really doesn't understand the sense of accomplishment that is recognized and the sense of accomplishment that is valued.

Chen Mengqiu said: "The opportunity is hard to come by. There are countless capable people in the world who can be officials, but not many may be able to do research. I wrote that 'research paper' which shocked all the civil and military officials in the court, and the emperor also implemented political orders..."

Although everything was done by the prince, Chen Mengqiu gave a lot of blood and sweat. The more he paid, the more he felt accomplished and satisfied when receiving the fruits of victory.

Seeing that he didn't dislike the dirty and smelly manure, and was still happy with it, Xinyu secretly praised Chen Mengqiu's tenacity.

After hearing this, Soetu sighed: "Those who accomplish great things are not limited to minorities. If Fabao had the same nature as Chen Mengqiu, he would not have become like that in the Imperial Guard."

When Soetu mentioned the disagreement between his younger brother and his boss, he would frown.

Fabao is different from Xinyu. He is not as steady as Xinyu, nor as scheming as Soetu. As the youngest son in the family, he was protected by Sony since he was a child. When he grew up, Soetu supported his family, so he showed his sharpness and was young and energetic. He disdained to hide his disgust for Yehenara, even if the person he disliked was his boss.

Soetu shook his head: "He has such a temperament, sooner or later, and you and I will not be able to protect him for the rest of my life."

Xinyu said with emotion: "Those who accomplish great things do not care about the details, and their brother's mood is admirable."

What he said was that Soetu and Nalan Mingzhu had a tacit understanding and contact and cooperation, which really made Soetu's face darker.

"I have been fighting with Nalan Mingzhu for decades now, and each has its own winning or losing. No one in this world knows me better than Nalan Mingzhu, and no one knows him better than me," Soetu sneered, skipping the matter and not mentioning it.

He disliked Nalan Mingzhu's old face, and he also hated his two rough-looking sons.

If they have a handsome guy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be so close to Nalan Mingzhu's son!

Time flies very quickly. When the first edition of the newspaper run by Nalan Xingde was delivered to Kangxi's imperial palace, the weather gradually turned colder. The capital city is raining less and the temperature is suitable. It is a good time for outings. Nalan Xingde and his friends went out for a trip, and the poems he wrote about his ambitions were gathered in this newspaper, and many copies were published, but they were snatched away by literati in the bookstore.

Even Kangxi said: "I also like to read the poems written by Rong Ruo. The sincere emotions in it are moving, the words are exquisite and immersive."

Reading Nalan Xingde's poems makes you feel happy to appreciate good works. In addition, Nalan Xingde's friends also make famous sayings, and each of them is a talented man.

Yinreng wrote a letter to Nalan Xingde: The newspaper has been issued, so in the next step, can we publish books similar to magazines? Magazines are less space than books and can write more content. They can write "interesting things" and "useful things" more than literary newspapers. If they only publish poems and essays, they can also write articles on fire and theft self-rescue for people to read. Gu also wants to submit a manuscript occasionally and talk about science and other things. This magazine is more realistic than a storybook and is more entertaining than ordinary books. It can be used as a reading material after dinner. If Rong Ruo thinks this magazine is feasible, why not give Khan Ama a memorial with Gu?

In Yinreng's impression, such magazines for scholars can publish some recent measures by the imperial court to do public opinion marketing.

For example, the court supported Chen Mengqiu, the "Word King" and worked hard to conduct research. Finally, it was found that the black soldier flies could solve the problem of kitchen waste. For example, the legendary life of Goose Xiang Nalan Mingzhu, which is different from ordinary serious books. I think many people will like to read this kind of article that is different from ordinary and serious.

[Human nature is gossip. If the gossip public opinion is in the hands of the court, the father of an adult friend will feel safe.] Nalan Xingde took a breath after finishing his first issue of the newspaper, and when he received a message from Yinreng, he felt a sudden jump in his heart.

After seeing Yinreng's proposal clearly, he would be so interesting that "magazine" would be in his mind, but he was also worried about the huge amount of workload that he would continue.

If he made a journal, how much topics would be discussed by the literati in the capital after dinner and what benefits would it bring to the emperor? Nalan Xingde was looking forward to it. He thought for a while and thought that this matter might be exhausted. It would be better to pull more people and call all his friends. If so, he could also attract the vast number of literati and famous scholars to "submit". At that time, there will be countless good articles to read every day.

After making up his mind, Nalan Xingde thought for a moment, picked up his pen and started writing the memorial.

When the night is late, people patrol the streets, constantly repeating the sentence "The sky is dry, be careful of the fire and candle."

That night, thick smoke ignited a house in the north of the capital, and the sound of gongs resounded over the sky. Nearly ten wooden B&B buildings were connected, and the fire spread rapidly.

The panicked people in the house took thick towels one by one, covered their mouths and noses with wet cloth, crawled out of the door while enduring the thick smoke. In the house with severe fire, someone was wrapped in bedding and swept out with moist linen cloth.

People brought buckets of water to pour it into the house. The officers and soldiers formed and asked people to clear out large open spaces around the ten rooms. The burning fire was difficult to extinguish with water, so they would isolate the fire to spread until the combustible objects were completely burned.

The next morning, the court meeting mentioned the fire in the houses in the northern suburbs of the capital. Everyone unexpectedly discovered that no one died in the fire!

The disaster prevention and self-rescue manual that was previously promoted in public has once again come into the court officials' attention, and they have made intense discussions on the implementation of various disaster prevention guidelines recorded.

It is said that the people in the north of the capital are lucky. They are the first people to see the publication of the newspaper and listen to the official report.
