Chapter 825 Ten Shishi per Mu! Hybrid rice is beginning to sound!
Chapter 825: Yield of ten stones per mu! Hybrid rice begins to flourish!
"Marquis Xi, are there really high-yielding crop seeds?"
"Uncle Fang, are those high-yielding crops the new varieties you mentioned?"
"Xihou, is this high-yielding variety rice?"
.....
After Yao Yun solemnly claimed that he had grown truly high-yielding crops, it immediately caused a sensation. The kings of various countries in the Southern Wilderness asked questions one after another, and the scene was chaotic.
People depend on food. Food and agriculture are the foundation of the country. Thousands of tall buildings are rising from the ground. The rise and fall of the country are all tied to food. When truly high-yielding crops appear in the world, no one can remain calm.
Yao Yun saw that he was surrounded by a group of kings asking questions. He knew that he could not answer everyone's doubts with just one mouth, so he simply said nothing and called Cangman to lead the way, and then led the kings to rush there.
Hybrid rice experimental field.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing, seeing with your own eyes is worth more than a million words of explanation.
The hybrid rice experimental fields are also on both sides of the Chishui Plain. However, unlike ordinary rice species and plastered rice, hybrid rice is a confidential project. Not only is it surrounded and surrounded by formations and prohibitions, but there are also special guards from the Xi Army, and no one else is allowed to do so.
Enter.
Yao Yun led all the monarchs into the farm unimpeded.
As soon as he entered the farm, the monarchs of various countries behind Yao Yun burst into exclamations.
The vast farm is full of rice fields. The rice stands tall and plump, and the ears of rice are gently hanging down. They are layer upon layer and densely packed. Looking at it, it feels like you are in a golden ocean, which is fascinating.
“What a great harvest!”
Chu Hou looked at this scene with longing and couldn't help but sigh.
As the saying goes, there is no gap without comparison. Just now, the anointed rice fields were full of fruits, and all the monarchs were already amazed and exclaimed about the high yield. But this time when they saw the hybrid rice, they were so surprised that they were speechless.
Although it is not yet clear how much the yield of this kind of rice is, you can get a glimpse of it just by looking at a rice plant. The ears of this kind of rice are larger than ordinary rice. The ears are large and there are many grains. You can tell by looking at the yield.
All the kings looked at it in a daze, and many nobles even went to the fields in person, carefully picking up the rice ears and looking at them carefully, full of curiosity.
"Marquis Xi, I wonder where this kind of rice comes from, how high-yielding it is, and what is the yield per mu?"
"This rice ear is called hybrid rice. As you can see, this kind of rice ear has large ears and many grains, and the yield is not low. As for the exact yield, we still need to harvest and weigh it to know.
Now that all the kings are gathered together, it’s time to witness it with your own eyes. Come and harvest the rice ears so that all the kings can have a look!”
Following Yao Yun's order, hundreds of powerful and capable army lieutenants went down to the fields, resumed their old business, and started farming.
The Xia Dynasty was a farming civilization. The officers and soldiers in the army took off their iron clothes and became farmers. They were good hands in farming and worked very smoothly.
While the soldiers were harvesting rice, the doubts in the minds of the kings of the Southern Wilderness countries increased instead of abating.
“What is hybrid rice? Why haven’t so many people heard of it?”
"Does it mean hybrid? This is not a curse word. Since it is a highly productive seed, why should it be given such a rude name? It is unlucky and unlucky."
...
Yao Yun laughed dumbly. The kings of various countries were so interested in the name of hybrid rice. In fact, he understood it, but he did not intend to change the name, so he explained with a smile:
"Your Majesty's guess is correct. It is exactly what hybrid means. Don't think that hybrid is a curse. In fact, plants and trees are also divided into yin and yang, male and female. Hybrids can combine the advantages of different rice varieties, and this is how we have the fruits in front of us.
Hybrid rice with large grains.”
When Wu Hou heard this, he seemed to realize the key. He was startled and asked: "Xi Hou, do you mean that this hybrid rice is a fusion of different varieties of rice? It is not a naturally raised variety?"
"Exactly!" Yao Yun thought for a moment, and then bluntly admitted that in fact, the basic principles of hybrid rice are not a secret that cannot be revealed.
The hybrid vigor of the next generation of rice that is saved from hybrid rice seeds is unreliable and cannot be saved. The core lies in large-scale seed cultivation. Simply cultivating hybrid rice is of no use.
In order to master a large number of secret techniques for cultivating seeds, Xiguo spent countless material and financial resources, and this was after years of accumulation of runes. This shows that it is ordinary.
If it is an ordinary princely state, even if it has gone through great hardships to cultivate hybrid rice, but it cannot be cultivated and promoted on a large scale, it will not help.
Because of this, Yao Yun did not hide the intention of hybrid rice, and he even did not forget to make a name for Emperor Nv Xi: "Speaking of hybrid rice, thanks to a secret technique created by Emperor Nv Xi, hybrid rice was successfully born.
.”
"Oh~"
When all the kings heard this, they felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and they were all in high spirits.
Wu Hou hurriedly asked: "Xi Hou, I wonder which secret technique it is?"
Yao Yun looked at the Marquis of Wu and then at all the kings, smiling but saying nothing.
"Hehehehe~"
Wu Hou and all the kings behind him smiled awkwardly and wisely did not ask any further questions, but secretly, they all had different thoughts.
However, Chu Hou quickly asked again at this time: "Xi Hou, I wonder if this hybrid rice seed can be sold to our Southern Wilderness? Don't worry, we are willing to pay a high price to buy it!"
"That's right, Alliance Leader, we are all willing to buy it at a high price. Don't forget about us for such good things."
"Yes, Xihou, you are the Fang Bo of Nanhuang and the leader of the alliances of all countries. We are all allies through bloodshed. We share the same joys and sorrows through thick and thin. Don't forget us when good things happen..."
After saying this, the Marquis of Chu looked at Yao Yun nervously. The rest of the kings became more active and followed suit. In order to close the relationship, many kings called Yao Yun one by one, like a younger brother recognizing his elder brother.
.
Yao Yun smiled speciously, seeing through it without saying anything. He invited a group of monarchs to come to Xidu. Naturally, he intended to sell hybrid rice seeds. After all, the secret of breeding was unique to him. Of course he was willing to sell it. Why can't he save the seeds anyway?
Not for sale!
If you don't sell it and make a profit, it will be a waste of money.
Immediately, Yao Yun did not beat around the bush, and said very straightforwardly: "Hybrid rice seeds can be sold to you, and the price is clearly marked, treating everyone equally, the price is fair, and no one is bullied!"
"Ah~"
Wu Chuyue, Izumo and all the kings should have been surprised by this, but because the news was so unexpected, they were all stunned, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Xihou agreed?
And you agreed so readily?
How is this possible!
All the kings looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. Could it be that this hybrid rice was not as high-yielding as they imagined, so Xihou was willing to sell the seeds?
The suspicious kings of various countries quickly calmed down and silently watched the busy farms one by one, waiting for the rice to be harvested, threshed, and weighed.
The generals and officers in the army are all young and vigorous men, with excellent labor force. In a short time, an acre of land has been harvested.
A whole ten stones of millet!
It’s four more stones than the previous rice!
"Hiss~ What Xihou said is true. There really is such a productive divine valley in the world!"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. One acre of land yielded ten stones of millet!"
"How can it be so productive...It's incredible! Could this be an accident..."
All the monarchs immediately exploded, and the sounds of exclamation could not be heard without end.
Yao Yun didn't mean to explain at all, and waved his hand to order the soldiers to continue harvesting.
Soon, the second, third, and fourth acres of rice were harvested again.
The yield per mu is ten stones and three buckets,
The yield per mu is nine stones and eight buckets...
Yield eleven stones per mu
Witnessed by all the monarchs, acres and acres of hybrid rice were harvested, and the ultra-high yield of ten stones per mu was truly presented in front of them. At this moment, all the monarchs were filled with shock.
After being shocked, all the monarchs were overjoyed. They swallowed their saliva and asked Yao Yun with great difficulty: "Marquis Xi, did you just say that you can sell seeds to us? Are you serious?"
