Chapter 166        Unrealistic!

"The good growth of spinach is all because you take good care of it, it's very good."

Xu Tian said with a smile.

After the villagers greeted Xu Tian, ​​they left with tactfulness.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Tian'er, since spinach can be grown in this vegetable greenhouse, then it should not be a problem to grow grain, right?"

After asking this question, Li Shimin looked at Xu Tian with anticipation. Xu Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, this vegetable greenhouse can indeed grow grain."

"However, the construction of vegetable greenhouses requires cost, and grain cannot be sold at high prices in winter, so there is no need for us to grow grain."

When Li Shimin heard Xu Tian’s explanation, he was also stunned. He was just happy and almost forgot about the fact that it was necessary to spend money to build a vegetable greenhouse.

"Tian'er, since it costs to build a vegetable greenhouse, what is the cost?

If it is not high, it can be promoted nationwide!"

Li Shimin said.

Food is extremely scarce at any time. If you can grow food in winter, it is OK even if it costs a certain price.

"Father-in-law, to make a vegetable greenhouse, there must be a clinker cloth, and the price of this plastic cloth is extremely high! I sell it to the outside world and it costs 1,000 taels of silver per kilogram!"

Xu Tian said.

Normally, the price of plastic cloth is calculated based on square meters, but if sold based on square meters, the price will appear very expensive!

But if it is by pound, no one knows how many square meters a pound is. Instead, it will give people the illusion that the price of this plastic cloth is not that expensive.

"One thousand taels of silver per pound! This! What is this thing made of!"

Li Shimin was shocked.

"It's made of shellac."

Xu Tian said.

"Shello! This thing can be bought for eight taels of silver per pound on the market. How expensive are you selling it?"

Cheng Yaojin said speechlessly.

"I said Lao Cheng, you don't understand at all. This thing is not something that can be made by getting shellac, but requires professional equipment!"

"And, it requires a certain amount of technology. If it is broken, the batch of plastic cloth will not be used. What I earn is technology money!"

"Just remember, just selling things to make money, then you make small money. Making money from technology is the king!"

Xu Tian patted Cheng Yaojin on the shoulder and said.

technology!

This was the first time Li Shimin heard this word, and he asked: "Tian'er, what do you mean by technology?"

"Technology is what you know yourself, but others don't have it. What ordinary people can't learn in the short term is technology."

"For example, blacksmithing is a skill. Father-in-law, you are a gentry and have great skills. Can you imitate a blacksmith?"

"The chef is also a craftsmanship. I give you a spoon. Can you cook?

My plastic cloth is a more advanced technology. If you give you shellac, can you make plastic cloth?"

Xu Tian said one after another.

Forehead……

Li Shimin and others shook their heads, and Xu Tian said, "This is amazing. The technology is in my hands. I say I can sell as much as I want. Besides, this thing can make a lot of money!"

"Growing grain will definitely lead to a loss, but if you plant spinach, you can earn less than a few thousand taels of silver per acre of land. This vegetable greenhouse can plant vegetables at least three times in a winter!"

"How much silver is this?"

Tsk tsk!

After Xu Tian said that, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, because if one acre of land was planted three times, it would be at least 3,000 taels of silver. Xu Tian was more than 1,000 acres of land!

One winter, earn more than three million taels of silver!

If there is such a high profit, those who buy this plastic cloth to build a vegetable greenhouse will definitely not lose money.

"Tian'er, I'll discuss something with you for my father. Although this plastic sheet is your only business, the people need food."

"How about you sell me some at the cost price and I will grow grain?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Father-in-law, your idea is unrealistic!"

"First of all, there are only two months in winter. Including late autumn and early spring, it is only more than three months. How old is the wheat ripening six months!"

"Three months is not enough to ripen wheat, and most people sow wheat in autumn. The wheat will be covered with snow in winter and continue to grow in spring."

“Since wheat exists in winter itself, why do we need to plant wheat in winter?”

"Also, it also requires certain technology to grow vegetables in greenhouses. You need to observe the temperature in the greenhouse frequently and pay attention to ventilation and other things."

"Therefore, to solve the food problem of the people of our Tang Dynasty, we must not start from the greenhouse, but from the food itself."

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

"Start with the food itself?"

Li Shimin said in confusion.

"That's right, starting with the grain itself. I have ordered my students, Ye Liangren, a farmer's Xiakui, to cultivate new wheat, and the per mu yield can reach 600 kilograms."

"Once such wheat seeds are promoted, the overall grain of our Tang Dynasty will increase by more than 30%. Will we still lack food?"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin and others all looked at Ye Liangren. Ye Liangren smiled and said, "Haha! Although I am not sure, what the teacher said does make sense!"

Changsun Wuji said, "Well! I heard what Ye Liangren said when I was in the Xu Mansion just now. Xu Tian's explanation is quite reasonable!"

"In the wheat, some are full of grains and some are very shriveled. If you choose to plant them with fullness, the yield per mu may increase!"

"Uncle Zhang said it right, it's not right. The seeds are indeed the best. Don't the people know this truth?

Haven't they done this before?"

"They did it, but the seeds are not judged by whether they are full or not, but by their genes!"

"Some seeds are very full, but there are genes of shriveled seeds in the genes, so the wheat ears that grow will probably be very small!"

"Some seeds are very shriveled, but they also have genes of full seeds. The wheat ears grown may not be shriveled!"

"What Ye Liangren needs to do is to remove the genes of the shriveled seeds through continuous cultivation and repeated selection, leaving only the genes of the fullest seeds!"

Xu Tian explained.

"Gene! You seemed to have used my family Chong'er and Changle as an example last time. Why? People have genes, does this wheat also have genes?"

Changsun Wuji asked curiously.

"God! What you said is a bit insulting! How can humans be like wheat?"
