Chapter 917 There will be a technique called: hybridization.
"Um."
Ying Gao smiled and nodded. He knew in his heart that Fan Zeng was curious about the grains that were harvested twice a year. Moreover, Fan Zeng was a civil servant.
A soldier of the Qin Dynasty.
This time when he went south, he was not only followed by the Iron Eagle warriors, but also by an army of ten thousand victors. He had good manpower, so Fan Zeng would not be left to do hard work.
After all, everyone has different usages. The value of Fan Zeng is not physical labor, but mental power.
To a certain extent, Ying Gao never forces a person to do one thing unless it is absolutely necessary.
Watching Fan Zeng leave, Ying Gao turned to Tie Ying and said, "Tie Ying, I am leaving a team of a thousand men to protect their safety. The rest will follow me."
"promise."
With a nod of agreement, Tie Ying began to issue orders and led the army to follow Jing Yesi's captain towards the station.
Jingyesi's residence only had three small houses. They didn't leave many people here, only four or five people.
Because it was too far away from major cities, it was too difficult for Yasushi to obtain supplies at that time. Not only were there too many people left behind, they would not only be easily discovered, but the problem of food would also be a big problem.
Of course, now that the entire southernmost region has fallen into Ying Gao's hands, this is no longer a problem.
"General Ying, this is our station here. Due to various reasons at the time, there were not many people stationed here, so everything is very simple." The captain smiled bitterly at Ying Gao, pointed to the station in front of him, and said
: "Because there is a spring here, we chose this location."
"Um."
Ying Gao nodded, looked around, and then said to the commander: "This place is very nice, but it hasn't been tidied up."
"When they went south this time, not only the people from Shennong Mountain brought tools, but also the Wansheng Army brought tools. They first leveled the place and then cut down the trees to build houses."
"You are very familiar with this place. You led the army to cut down the trees, and then built houses and made beds as quickly as possible."
"Before dark, we must prepare a camp for the Shennong Mountain group and at least 5,000 troops."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, the captain led his people to the mountain forest opposite. A flash of light flashed in Ying Gao's eyes. He had never thought of building directly with reinforced concrete, but the roads were impassable, so he could only choose the simplest and most convenient way.
a method.
Watching everyone leave, Tie Ying cast his gaze on Ying Gao and said, "General Ying, do you plan to station an army of five thousand here?"
"They deserve to keep more people, but once the number exceeds five thousand, the consumption of supplies will be extremely terrifying."
Having said this, Ying Gao took a deep look at Tie Ying and said with a faint tone: "Unless they are here to provide all the living supplies, otherwise we will need to send a caravan to deliver the supplies at a specific time.
"
"Um."
Glancing at Tie Ying, Ying Gao said, "Send the order. There are many poisonous insects, tigers and leopards in this mountain range. Let the soldiers be careful."
"promise."
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Ying Gao is extremely proud. The first part of his deployment in the extreme south has been completed, and the next step is to get ready to go.
Although there were some twists and turns and some variables during this process, the final result was still within his expectations, without too many surprises.
"Tie Ying, let's go and see the military advisor and Qin Zhong and the others!" Ying Gao glanced at the soldiers rushing towards the opposite side, turned to Tie Ying and said.
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao could hear the hint of joy in Tie Ying's tone, which made Ying Gao couldn't help but smile. It was obvious that both Fan Zeng and Tie Ying were extremely concerned about the grains that were harvested twice a year.
.
Two thousand Iron Eagle warriors headed in the direction of Qin Zhong and others. Ying Gao was also a little excited. He knew in his heart the importance of Champa Rice in the history of China.
At this moment, Champa rice was discovered nearly a thousand years in advance, which was a blessing for both the Qin Dynasty and China.
"General Ying, is this the rice that crops twice a year?" Fan Zeng frowned slightly, looking at the fields of rice in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
When he thought about it, the rice that could be harvested twice a year must be extraordinary. However, there were a lot of rice in Chu.
"General Ying, military advisor, the rice here does ripen twice a year. You can see that the rice is about to mature. It was also maturing when we discovered these rice."
The soldiers of Jingyesi said to Ying Gao and Fan Zeng: "But at that time, we had doubts in our hearts. The weather and climate here are different from those in Guanzhong and Daqin. Naturally, we did not dare to say anything nonsense. We have been waiting here to observe."
"It is now confirmed that the rice here is a grain that is harvested twice a year."
"Um!"
Nodding, a smile appeared on the corner of Ying Gao's mouth, then he looked at Qin Zhong and others beside him, and said, "Do you know anything about the rice in front of you?"
Hearing this, Qin Zhong raised his hand towards Ying Gao and said: "General Ying, since he is Jing Yesi's brother, it has been verified that this must be two crops of rice a year."
"This kind of rice has never been heard of in the Central Plains. The specific situation and its habits will require a period of observation and recording to obtain data."
“Then compare!”
Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Ying Gao nodded and said: "If you have any questions, you can directly contact me. Now that we have found the grain, I will go to Ailao King City tomorrow."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Qin Zhong hesitated for a moment, then turned to Ying Gao and said, "General Ying, do you have any ideas about the optimization of this grain type?"
Qin Zhong knew very well that Ying Gao was a king of ideas. In their opinion, Ying Gao was a scholar and a man of heaven, and many things were constantly invented because of Ying Gao's guidance.
"Optimization of grain varieties?"
Upon hearing Qin Zhong's inquiry, everyone couldn't help but look over. At this moment, their eyes were full of expectation.
"Through selection and purification, the characteristics of this variety can be kept unchanged, and self-crossing can save seeds."
Seeing everyone looking over, Ying Gao said in a solemn tone: "I have another skill, called hybridization."
"The fundamental difference between conventional rice and hybrid rice is whether they can self-cross and save seeds. Hybrid rice refers specifically to sterile line rice, which cannot self-cross and save seeds. You must cross the first generation to save seeds."
"Choose two rice varieties that have certain genetic differences and at the same time have complementary excellent traits for hybridization, and then breed grain varieties with production advantages."
"Of course, all of this requires you to continue experimenting here, and then observe and record, etc., before it can be verified in the end."
