C364: high yield

The emperor was more interested. "Oh, let's hear, how can we make this land as precious as gold?"

Chen nianran pointed to the crops in the field. "I was thinking, why does agriculture work all the year round, but it is always not enough to eat and wear? When there are seasons like drought and flood, the common people will turn to sell their children and sell their daughters. "

The emperor's face was dignified. "Yes, I think Daqi has a wide range of fields and fertile soil. However, there are not a few people who die of hunger every year. Which of these people's families is not diligent. Even if it's tax, it's not so frightening that people can starve to death! "

Chen nianran nodded in deep thought, "yes, so I was thinking, the farmers are industrious, and the land has also been, why are they still poor? In fact, after all, there is another reason that our per mu yield is too low. The effect of seeds is not obvious. So the little girl has been thinking about how to discover and improve the original seeds. Cultivate good seeds. Only by improving the seed, can we increase the per mu yield, and let the people of our great Ruo Dynasty have clothes to wear and food to eat... "

"Find new seeds!"

The emperor immediately caught the key to her words.

"Yes, I'm just thinking that if we develop new varieties, we can get too much improvement now.

For example, this kind of wheat can be developed into good varieties with drought resistance, disease and insect resistance, and higher yield per mu.

For example, if there is a drought in the paddy field over there, we will not get a good harvest of rice, or even no harvest.

Although this situation is not good, it can be changed. As long as I can invent a kind of rice that can be planted in dry land, can I harvest food even if there is no water? "

Even the queen was interested in her mention.

"Grow rice in dry land? This is really new. Rice rice Since it's called rice, isn't it planted in water? Rice can also be planted in dry land, which is really feasible? "

Chen nianran waved confidently, "why not? No one knows if they can make it! "

"If we can really invent the rice planted in the dry land, it will alleviate the food crisis of our great king Dynasty. This is a great plan for the benefit of the people. " The emperor looked at Chen nianran hopefully.

"I believe that where there is a will, there will be success. As long as we are willing to invent and search, these upland rice will certainly be found. However, upland rice development alone is not enough. The yield of crops per mu in the field is still too low. It's a pity that we have worked so hard for such a long time, and only one mu can produce two or three hundred jin. " Chen nianran sighs quietly.

The emperor felt that his heart was trembling. He was excited just to think about upland rice, but the five little grandma was not satisfied. Her heart How big is it? " This little lady, don't you want to invent something else? "

"Not to invent, but to think of something I once ate called corn. Alas, I haven't found such a thing till now. If there is such a thing, I believe that the grain production of the great Ruo Dynasty will be greatly increased. "

The emperor said softly, "corn? What does it look like? Can you draw it for me let me have a look. Maybe I have seen it! "

Chen nianran focused on his own thoughts, and didn't notice the emperor's me at all!

She picked up a stick and swished it on the ground.

"This is corn? This... How can I look like a gold stick? " The emperor looked at the painting for a while, and finally said his answer indefinitely.

"It used to be called the gold stick here? Ha ha, don't you want gold? " Chen nianran asked excitedly.

"Yes, it is indeed yellow. I remember that there were ancestors who passed down. However, some people have tried it. It's very hard and not very delicious. "

"This is corn." Chen nianran nodded affirmatively, looking at the emperor's eyes, as if he was a corn. This embarrassed the emperor. The queen chuckled. This girl, it's a little interesting.

"This little lady, as far as I know, the founding emperor of our Dynasty didn't plant this thing you said! What's more, this thing you're talking about is really productive? Are you kidding? "

"How can I tell a joke? This kind of thing can produce high yield indeed! As long as it is planted, there is no problem in the production of five or six hundred mu. " Chen nianran raised his voice defiantly.

"Five or six hundred jin per mu!" The emperor listened to it again. You know, even the land of their royal plantation, the best one, is said to yield only two or three hundred jin of wheat per mu. Five or six hundred jin per mu, if so? Can the great Ruo Dynasty starve?

"I said little lady, I'm not hitting you. The corn you said was once introduced when the country was founded. Unfortunately, it didn't work. " The emperor attacked Chen nianran.

"Ah? There have been races, that is to say, this kind of thing still has seeds? " Chen nianran only heard that there were human races.

"Yes, there was a race. However, it is only long and not strong. So many people say it can only be planted and fed to horses. "

Chen nianran listened to that Qi, "nonsense! These people don't know how to plant it. How could it be so bad! Wait, they're not going to sow like grass, are they? Or is it like wheat, which is planted so closely? "

The empress and Emperor shook their heads. "We don't know. However, if the little lady is interested in planting, I can find such corn seeds for you. "

"Seeds?" Chen Nianran jumped up excitedly. "Well, I'll pay for it. How much do you want?"

The emperor smiled like a fox. "No silver."

Chen nianran is confused, "don't want my money? Isn't that good? " There won't be pie dropping in the sky. Isn't this old man something else?

The Emperor just waved, "little lady, don't doubt my motive is impure. It doesn't have much effect to say that the gold stick is in my hand.

At best, it's just a decoration.

It can be put in the hands of the little lady. It can be changed into more food. If the little lady wants to, I hope you can teach these planting methods after planting. In this way, the people of my dynasty can get rid of hunger as soon as possible. " He can be a more relaxed emperor!

"Well, as the old man said, you two seem to come to visit our cold city, don't you? It's better to be a guest in my house, so that I can make a host of friends. "

The emperor and empress smiled and nodded, "well, according to the words of the little lady, go to your house to be guests."

Along the way, the queen and Chen nianran talked about some things about the cold city.

Originally, Chen nianran's eloquence was very good. The queen was good at guiding topics. They had a lot of fun together.

When we got to the courtyard, the master and Zhou Aoxuan were still discussing the expansion of the cold city. When they saw the couple coming in, they were stunned. There was a doubt in the master's eyes. He looked at the emperor, "how do I feel How familiar is this man? "

Zhou Aoxuan also looked at it carefully. This time, his face changed.

He was one of the few people who knew about the emperor's trip.

Although empress dowager made simple make-up, his face did not change much. Zhou Aoxuan recognized it at a glance.

When he went out, he was very respectful.

But the emperor put his hand in a big way, "is this the Lord of the city?"

As soon as Zhou Aoxuan heard this, he knew that he was unwilling to disclose his identity.

See Chen nianran and his wife get along very happily appearance, simply, then shut up not much words.

Just in time, the rolls came out of the room.

When they saw a nice couple coming, they went up to say hello.

During the dinner, the brothers and sisters ate very well, and occasionally used chopsticks to carry dishes for the couple.

"Grandpa, please eat. Grandma, you eat more. This is the specialty of our family. "

The queen looked at the sweet appearance of the scroll, and her heart fluttered with joy. At this time, she also thought of some of her grandchildren.

For a while, homesickness came into being.

Take the roll of the hand, the queen is not love do not want.

Finally, he took the bracelet off his wrist and put it on the rolled hand. "Come on, let's keep the bracelet. We'll meet again later."

Zhou Aoxuan looked at the bracelet, his face was pale with fear. Hurry up and stop, "this It's very kind of the lady to give such valuable things to the child. "

The queen sent a warm jade.

I felt warm when I put it on my hand. I held the roll and was stunned, but I still gave it back to the queen, "grandma, I don't want to collect such valuable things."

Empress Dowager thought the child was so cute and adorable. At this moment, the emperor even gave birth to the idea of taking the girl to the palace. No way, who told the child to say a smile, more important, lively and sensible.

Chen nianran saw Zhou Aoxuan's refusal, and knew that the jade was extremely valuable. So we must not. The queen couldn't send it out, but pulled down her face. "Why, I can't send the things of this woman. In that case, I'll break it. "

Zhou Aoxuan sees her attack like this, where dare to shirk responsibility, then accept in panic.

It was night. After seeing off the emperor and empress, Chen nianran looked at Zhou Aoxuan seriously. "That couple, do you know?"

"Yes..." Zhou Aoxuan wants to hide the truth. However, he could not conceal his wife's dark eyes.

"Yes..." Chen nianran bit his tongue It's them! " She pointed to the sky.

Zhou Aoxuan nodded and sighed, "however, can you not be so smart!"

Chen nianran burst out laughing, "what are you worried about? I'm afraid that our family's scrolls will be taken care of by Tianjia people? There's no need to worry about it at all. We just need to stay in this cold city, how can the people of Tianjia think of scrolls again? However, we can't go to the capital anymore. "
