Chapter 485: Come, give you this book

"Although this matter is good, it will take less than a year and a half to build merits. It takes time to plant more seeds, and to summarize the know-how to grow this kind of food. This kind of food has never been found in the Song Dynasty. It is not so easy to spread food. "Shen Long glanced at Wang Jiao." It depends on how long Yuanze can sort it out. "
Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and sunflowers were all brought to China in the Ming Dynasty. They were picked up by Kangxi for a bargain and made the
brilliant age
of bran dilute. At some time in the evening, Daqing estimated that it would be a short-lived dynasty again.
It is not so easy for a common crop to be accepted by the people of the world. For ordinary people, food is the lifeblood. You let them leave wheat and millet to grow, and grow a kind of food that has never been heard of. I am afraid that no one would dare to agree easily.
Wang Jiao may not have understood yet. Wang Shao is in the northwestern frontier. He often contacts local farmers. He needs to be a little more clear about his thoughts. He also thought of this. "This matter is not difficult. If there is a wasteland, then you can find some wasteland Juntun. If the local people have seen the harvest for the first season, I am afraid they will rush to grow this kind of food without order from the court. "
If these kinds of food are really as productive as you said, these Wang Shao are hidden in the heart, let alone those ordinary people, even if he knew that Wang Xu would never lie, he did not fully believe it.
Who said that ancient people are not as smart as modern people? Listen to Wang Shao's approach! When Shen Long was the leader of the provincial government, many county heads below did not expect to do so, or they wanted it but did not have the patience.
Wang Jiao felt that his pressure had doubled. It was originally just a matter of satisfying the people's food and drink. Now how can he get involved in conquering Hehuang and Xixia? The burden on his shoulders is getting heavier and heavier.
He got up and arched his hands, "I'll do my best to do it." Okay, isn't it just farming, can't I farm? From now on, I will grow the land during the day and write records at night.
"It turned out that Yuanze was all dressed up for this." Wang Shao now also understands that he is not a corrupt scholar, not only does he not underestimate Wang Jiao, but he is more respected.
"I don't know what kind of food I want to grow in the long run? Can you let me know what's going on?" Wang Shao was more and more curious, what kind of food can have such a big harvest? "Oh, I'm anxious the next time, a little presumptuous."
"There is nothing to watch. Well, this is sweet potato. In my season, the yield per mu can reach ten thousand jins; there were few people in the Song Dynasty before, and the output may be less, but a thousand jins in one season should still be possible." Shen Long pulled out a child's big sweet potato from his sleeve.
This output was calculated based on the output of the sweet potatoes of the Ming Dynasty. According to the records of the Ming Dynasty local records, the output of sweet potatoes at that time could reach one or two kilograms. This time he took out the refined oilseeds cultivated in later generations, and the output would only be higher.
"Well, see? No, this is a bud of sweet potato. When you want to plant, cut the sweet potato into small pieces, each with a bud, and then breed seedlings in the fertilizer field, and then transplant them into the field. A sweet potato can grow at least five such large sweet potatoes, and more will be taken care of. "Shen Long pointed to the sweet potatoes and explained to them.
Wang Shao and Wang Xu counted the number of bud embryos on the sweet potato, and then reached out to try the weight of the sweet potato. Now, most doubts are dispelled. "In this way, the yield per kilogram may be less!"
"Unfortunately, sweet potatoes can be used as vegetables, but not as staple food, but these two are okay." Shen Long drew a long yellow corn cob and a fisted potato from his sleeve, and saw Wang Shao one Looking at his sleeve, can it hold so many things in it?
"In general, a corn plant can produce one to eight corn cobs, but in order to make the corn cobs grow larger, it usually breaks the excess, leaving only two at most." Shen Long handed the corn to Wang Shao, The potatoes were handed over to Wang Xu. The two held them like holding a glass bulb. They were afraid that they would fall off the ground. "Potatoes and sweet potatoes are generally grown, and one plant can bear five or six."
Wang Shao started to count the corn kernels on top of the corn. After counting for a long time, he finally calculated it. "It doesn't count those deflated and small ones, totaling 732 kernels. If one plant grows two, it's a plant One thousand and five thousand dollars! Guanzhong grows wheat, and one wheat ear can receive twenty grains, even if it is perfect! This is a fairy! "
"It can't be calculated like this, wheat is much denser than corn, but the yield of corn is indeed higher than that of wheat!" One wheat ear in later generations is almost six or seventy grains of wheat, at least three times that of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty wheat yields two Stones are almost two hundred catties. Later generations of wheat yield a thousand catties. If you count the difference between dense planting and the size of wheat grains, this number is almost the same.
"The most critical thing is tolerant to drought, suitable for a wide range of cultivation, many places in the northwest can not grow wheat can grow these." Shen Long added.
"If Yuan Ze can make these kinds of food broadcast world, it is a great merit!" Wang Shao sighed.
Hearing this, Wang Xu remembered what Shen Long said when he talked about Zhancheng Dao. His mood was quite complicated. Yeah, whether he or Wang Shao thought it was a great merit. But Can the credit of the court be recognized by the court and scholars? Perhaps the imperial court would give itself some rewards, just like Li Ding who gave the god's arm bow.
But since then, UU reading www.uukanshu.com's own reputation in Shilin is probably not as good as before. In those people's eyes, maybe this kind of credit is not as good as a good word ... Is my Confucian really ... No, no, it must be that I failed to comprehend the saints ’righteousness, and Wang Xu was in a cold sweat, and quickly threw these big bad thoughts aside.
The three of them talked about these kinds of food again. Wang Shao even learned how Wang Jiao went to in the field for a while, and then was driven back by Wang Jiao. The director said, these two acres of land are Your own, gentleman speaks with faith, and must never help others in the hands of others.
Wang Shao returned to the shady place and sat down. His mind suddenly flashed. If the ordinary people were talking about things, they would say nothing about the use of famous generals. There were very few mentions of military training, not to mention the food delivery, so he turned his head. Come to ask Shen Long, "Does the master know the art of war?"
"It's a little bit of understanding one or two." That one, after mixing with military forums for several years, have you read a bunch of military online novels?
After thinking about it, Shen Long reached into his sleeve and found a book and handed it to Wang Shao. "This military book is quite different from other military books. Zi Chun may wish to take a look."
Wang Shao took a look at it, with the words "Training Documentary" written on the cover.
