Chapter 251 Developing Great Wei While Going to the Bar to Listen to Music
Royal Palace.
East Palace.
Snowflakes are falling, but the cold wind remains.
On the first day of the new year, Emperor Wei didn't even bother to wait for the princesses to pay New Year's greetings, so he hurriedly came to the East Palace to see the greenhouse that he had longed for.
Beside him stood Zuo Pushe Zhang Zian, the minister Chen Zhen and the minister Tao Xing.
They, the big Wei humerus, are also very interested in greenhouses.
Growing watermelons in the winter in Jinling City is no different from picking fairy peaches from the peach orchard.
Xiao Nan also accompanied Emperor Wei, with his head held high and his chest high and high-spirited.
These greenhouses were built by him with his own hands, and they are filled with the sweat of his hard work.
at the same time.
Qin Wenyao and Qin Yu came from a distance, "See your majesty."
Emperor Wei waved his hand, "No need to be polite."
As he said that, he looked at Qin Yu with joy in his eyes, "Good son-in-law, please show me and all your beloved ones around. I have high hopes for your greenhouse."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "Okay, then please invite Your Majesty and all the adults to come in."
Later, under the leadership of Qin Yu and Xiao Nan.
Everyone entered the greenhouse.
After entering.
Qin Yu looked at Xiao Nan who was eager to try, and said thoughtfully: "Every brick and tile in this greenhouse was built by the prince himself. Let the prince tell you about it."
Xiao Nan listened with joy on his face and puffed out his chest.
He knew it was time to show off his strength.
Emperor Wei looked at Xiao Nan and gave him a firm look, "Then the prince will tell you."
Now, he is still very satisfied with Xiao Nan.
In just one year.
Xiao Nan has made great progress in terms of personality, temper, vision and thinking.
Immediately afterwards.
Zhang Zian pointed to the glazed window above his head and asked, "Your Highness, what is the function of this glazed window?"
Looking at the colored glaze above my head.
Emperor Wei's anger was also half vented.
Greenhouses are good everywhere, but the cost of glazed windows is too high.
If colored glass windows were a necessity, then greenhouses would not be popular.
Xiao Nan glanced at everyone and cleared his throat, "Zhang Zuopushe asked a good question. The function of this glazed window is to allow sunlight to shine through the glazed window into the greenhouse."
"As the saying goes, "One share of sunshine, one share of harvest." Watermelon is a sun-loving fruit and needs to fully absorb sunlight for photosynthesis. This will not only shorten the growth cycle of watermelon, but also make the watermelon sweeter."
"Do you know why the watermelons in the Western Regions are sweeter than the local watermelons in Jinling City? That's because the Western Regions have long sunshine hours and sufficient heat. Not only is there drought and little rain, but there is also a huge temperature difference between day and night, which is necessary to affect the sweetness of watermelons.
condition......"
Xiao Nan glanced at everyone and explained seriously, like a senior agricultural scholar.
Listen to Xiao Nan's words.
Emperor Wei, Zhang Zian, and everyone else's eyes widened in disbelief.
They didn't expect that Xiao Nan knew so much about agriculture.
But they also looked confused when they heard it, and many words were never said at all.
Like photosynthesis and this and that.
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Wei was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay! You are worthy of being my son! You are worthy of being the Crown Prince of Wei! After all, you have not done all the farm work in vain these past few months!"
What he hopes most is that Xiao Nan will be a down-to-earth prince.
Only in this way can we truly sympathize with the sufferings of the people.
Xiao Nan chuckled and said, "My father gave me a reward. My brother-in-law taught me these things."
Immediately afterwards.
Emperor Wei looked at the several large stoves in the greenhouse and pondered: "You use these large stoves to adjust the temperature in the greenhouse and make the temperature here suitable for growing watermelons?"
Xiao Nan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Yes, so this greenhouse is very simple. With the heat of summer and sufficient light, it is not impossible to grow watermelons in winter."
Emperor Wei asked again: "Then... what are these pipes used for?"
Xiao Nanmian was indifferent and explained: "These pipes are called chimneys. The first function is to exhaust smoke, and the second function is to dissipate heat. Because hot smoke also has temperature, and the thermal conductivity of iron is very good, so for
Increasing the temperature inside the greenhouse has huge benefits."
chimney?
Good thermal conductivity?
Listen to each new word.
Emperor Wei and all the humerus were all shocked.
Qin Yu must have high attainments in agriculture to teach Xiao Nan to be like this.
At this time, everyone also had a general understanding of greenhouses.
One is lighting.
The second is temperature.
There was a pause.
Emperor Wei pointed to the glazed window and asked: "Is there any better substitute for this glazed window? If we can't reduce the cost, we can't promote it to the public."
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Yes, there is. That thing is called glass, but refining it is troublesome and takes a long time. Moreover, our great Wei Dynasty has not even completed the land reform and has not promoted greenhouses.
What’s the meaning?”
Emperor Wei nodded, "You are right, land reform is more important now."
Immediately afterwards.
Qin Yu pondered: "However, if we ask the Ministry of Industry to build some greenhouses, and then grow some fruits and vegetables in winter, we can sell them to wealthy people and make some money."
"We can also recruit some people to help in greenhouses during the off-season, so that people can earn some money to subsidize their families. We can also use these greenhouses to accumulate experience for future promotion. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."
I heard there is money to be made.
Emperor Wei's eyes suddenly shone with shrewd light, "Okay! This is a good idea! I agree. After saying that, he looked at Qin Wenyao from the Ministry of Revenue and Lu Liangping, Minister from the Ministry of Industry."
"Did you hear what Qin Yu said? The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry will discuss it and allocate a piece of land to build hundreds of greenhouses first. Even if we cannot promote it, we must first accumulate experience to avoid being in a hurry when promoting it in the future. What's more,
You can still make money.”
Qin Wenyao and Lu Liangping saluted and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Greenhouses are a great thing for promoting the development of agriculture in the Wei Dynasty.
Qin Yu frowned slightly.
Now is indeed not a good time to promote it, not to mention that the land reform of the Wei Dynasty has not yet been completed.
Without glass and coal, it would be even more difficult to popularize greenhouses.
But this matter is not urgent.
The development of Wei Dynasty requires one step at a time and a down-to-earth approach.
Qin Yu is not an impatient person.
There are so many things in this world waiting for him to discover and create.
Qin Yu can develop the Wei Dynasty while listening to music.
After visiting the greenhouse.
The Emperor of Wei and the others were also full of hope for the development of the Wei Dynasty.
