Chapter 741 Empress, you really made a great contribution!
Chapter 741: Madam, you have really made a great contribution!
The so-called "Boqin" is an ancient dialect, which means sowing. Sowing Qin in winter and summer means sowing twice in winter and summer.
Sowing in winter and summer, double cropping in one year?
This idea suddenly appeared in Yao Yun's mind.
In fact, after the rapid development of farming technology, especially irrigation and fertilization technology, in the Xi Kingdom, Yao Yun had envisioned a two-crop rotation system a year, that is, planting double-cropping rice.
The conditions of the Southern Wilderness countries of the Zhuxia Dynasty were similar to those of the southern region in the previous life, with abundant sunshine and abundant water. They were fully qualified to implement a double-crop rotation system a year, but the only thing missing was a short growth cycle and strong adaptability.
Ripe rice seeds, combined with ordinary rice seeds, can achieve two or even three crops a year.
For this reason, Yao Yun also ordered Jiang He and Jiang Miao to search and cultivate early-maturing rice seeds with a short growth cycle, but so far there has not been much harvest.
Originally, Yao Yun thought that he would have to wait for a few more years, but he never expected that Hanbao Empress "unintentionally planted willows to provide shade" and actually brought the high-quality rice seeds that Yao Yun had dreamed of back to the Zhuxia Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Yao Yun was overjoyed. He reached into his bag, took out the "paste rice seeds", and then used the secret technique of runes to cultivate and induce birth.
Soon, the "paste rice" seeds germinated, turned into seedlings at a speed visible to the naked eye, grew vigorously, and then headed and bloomed... In two breaths, a paste rice plant grew.
Yao Yun then brought ordinary rice seeds from the Xi Kingdom, cooked them in the same way, and used the same vitality to cultivate and promote the growth. As a result, after about five breaths, a rice plant turned yellow and matured.
Comparing the two, the difference between the two varieties is revealed. The growth cycle of "paste rice seeds" does seem to be shorter than that of ordinary rice seeds, making it the early-maturing rice variety he dreams of.
"Hahahaha, you can't find anything even if you wear iron shoes, it takes no effort to get here!"
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" The second elder Wu Tong had just shaken his head and explained the origin of the rice. However, his own king ignored him at all. Instead, he used secret techniques to stimulate the seeds, and even laughed loudly. He was immediately curious:
“Your Majesty, what’s so unusual about this plastered rice?”
When the people around him heard the commotion here, they all looked over. Even Han Ba, who had his head lowered and felt lonely, raised his head and looked at Yao Yun, with curiosity in his eyes.
Yao Yun smiled and said: "Didn't you just say that the plastered rice seeds are sown in winter and summer with musical instruments? These plastered rice seeds are treasures and priceless treasures, and the people of the world will benefit immensely from them!"
Thinking of this, Yao Yun grinned at Empress Hanba: "Empress, you have made a great contribution!"
"Ah~" Hanba, who was originally disappointed and sad, obviously didn't react and looked at Yao Yun blankly.
Although she still didn't understand what happened specifically, when she heard Yao Yun say, "The people of the world have benefited immensely from this," Han Bao's gloomy eyes brightened up again, and his expression suddenly became excited again, just like a long drought brings sweet rain.
Life comes out of despair.
"Yao Yun, kid, what are you talking about? How come all the people in the world benefit from this?" Han Ba was like a drowning mortal grabbing a life-saving straw. He ducked to Yao Yun's side and grabbed Yao Yun's hand.
He held Han Bao in his hands. If he were an ordinary mortal Qi practitioner, his hands would probably be like "roasted pig's trotters." However, fortunately, Yao Yun was pregnant with Chi You's demonic body. He didn't even frown and nodded with a smile: "Well, it's what the empress brought back."
The anointed rice seeds are the real treasure of the country, and you have made a great contribution!"
When the second elder Wu Tong heard this, he immediately panicked. Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years. It is not easy to offend a god who lacks restraint like the Han Demon Queen. He was afraid of causing trouble again, so he quickly spoke to make amends: "Your Majesty, in the ancient books
The wilderness of Duguang is a blessed land. Only by 'pasting rice' can we sow the piano in winter and summer, and get two crops a year. Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense!"
After saying this, the second elder Wu Tong mustered up his courage and looked at Empress Hanba again, with a flattering smile: "My empress, please don't blame me. My king and his young misfortune have happened. Don't take it seriously and blame my king."
The cruelest thing in the world is to give a desperate person a glimmer of hope and then destroy it. This kind of struggle and torture can make people crazy and crazy.
Fortunately, after she calmed down, the violent anger in Hanba's heart had almost dissipated. She was not a ungrateful person. There was nothing more sad than death. She sighed: "Yao Yun, I appreciate your kindness. You are a good person."
child."
Hanba's expression was desolate and sad, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes. Her whole body, which should have been exuding a hot aura, actually had a bit of chill in it, making people shiver.
Hanba sighed, knowing that she was not welcome, so she then called the ten gods who came with her to leave.
When Yao Yun saw this, he was stunned immediately and shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please stay. I don't just come here and talk nonsense."
Fire clouds had just appeared on the soles of Han Bao's feet. After hearing Yao Yun's words, the fire clouds on the soles of his feet gradually extinguished. At this time, Xu had been disappointed too many times. This time, Han Bao's face was not too excited, and he just looked at Yao Yun calmly.
There are no waves in the godless eyes, without much emotion, just like the elders who are dying in the world, basking in the sun, watching the children and grandchildren playing in the courtyard, and seeing through the world.
Yao Yun didn't explain much. Facts speak louder than words. He immediately called Jiang He and Jiang Miao who were outside the crowd to poke their heads in.
Jiang Miao and Jiang He were very excited when they heard "paste rice and sow harp in winter and summer". If it weren't for a great god, they would have come here two mornings to see the "paste rice" seeds with their own eyes.
Jiang He: "Your Majesty, you have just promoted the growth of the ointment rice seeds. Is the growth cycle of the ointment rice seeds as short as we thought?"
Jiang He and Jiang Miao understand the growth of grains better than the two elders, and are also familiar with the two-crop-a-year crop rotation system proposed by Yao Yun. After many years of research, they have concluded that two-crop a year is completely feasible, given the geographical conditions of Xi State, fertilization, and irrigation.
Everything meets the requirements, the only thing missing is early rice seeds with a short growth cycle.
Yao Yun nodded: "Well, I have just made a comparison. The plastered rice seeds do grow faster and mature earlier. If you cultivate them, use them to make early rice and rotate them with other rice seeds, you can achieve two crops a year."
"Hahahaha, Tianxing, I, Zhu Xia, didn't expect to find the rice seeds that I dreamed of. Your Majesty, let's take a look."
Jiang He and Jiang Miao were overjoyed when they heard this. They quickly picked up the plastered rice seeds and studied them carefully.
When everyone saw Jiang He, Jiang Miao laughed wildly and looked at each other in confusion. The ten Nuwa's faces showed curiosity and they all looked at Yao Yun.
Yao Yun did not stop the two from studying the seeds. He immediately smiled and explained: "The second elder is right. The legendary Duguang Wilderness is a blessed land of caves and heavens where hundreds of grains grow by themselves. It cannot be compared to other places. But as Gu said before
, people are the variables of heaven and earth, ordinary rice production can be increased step by step, and two crops a year may not be universal;
Gu had envisioned planting and harvesting rice twice on the same piece of land a long time ago. Xiguo has sunshine, sufficient water sources, and irrigation and fertilization have been established. It can be said that Xiguo rice has long been equipped with a two-crop-a-year rotation system.
;
The only thing missing is rice seeds with fast growth cycle, early maturation and strong adaptability. I was worried about it before and couldn't find it, but now it's better. The empress has brought the rice seeds I dreamed of...
"
After everyone heard Yao Yun's eloquent talk, even though most of them didn't understand farming, they couldn't help but be fascinated this time. If there were two crops a year, wouldn't the food harvested by the people be greatly increased out of thin air...
While everyone was talking, Jiang He and Jiang Miao studied the rice seeds and then exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, this [Glazed Rice] is really the early rice seed we have been seeking so hard for. Look, it spawns two seeds. The plastered rice seed grows much faster."
Han Bao, Nuwa Zhichang, the second elder Wu Tong, Bald Long and others all went over.
I saw that the ointment rice seeds grew and matured at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rice ears turned yellow. At the same time, the ordinary rice seeds next to it were still growing.
Facts speak louder than words. After listening to Yao Yun's introduction to the two-crop-a-year crop rotation system and seeing the rapid growth of gypsum rice, everyone was stunned.
Especially Hanba, who had gone through countless ups and downs. This surprise was in front of her, and she was a little numb and at a loss. She was stunned and speechless.
Seeing this, Yao Yun smiled slightly: "My dear, you have really made a great contribution!"
