147 If you count yourself second, who dares to be first?
As for books and information, Emperor Chongzhen also had a lot. Although it was not often, he would occasionally check information. Even if he did not check it with his own hands, he also knew that he had to get what he wanted from the huge library.
Finding it inside is still very time-consuming.
Not to mention, for people like Liu Weichao, all the relevant information is displayed just by looking at it.
While Emperor Chongzhen was envious, the weight of "science" in his heart became a little heavier.
But he also had questions. He asked Liu Weichao: "Why is your tomato picture different from the tomato picture I gave you?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao laughed immediately, and then said to him: "Because your tomato is a primitive tomato, and mine is a tomato that has been cultivated for many years. Let's put it this way, your tomato is a bit similar to primitive people, and mine is
Although they are all tomatoes like you, they are actually quite different."
"..." Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being speechless when he heard this.
Although I feel that Liu Weichao's analogy seems a bit weird, I finally understand the difference between the two tomatoes.
While he was thinking about it, Liu Weichao said to him again: "I don't know how your tomatoes taste. Anyway, these tomatoes I have here can be eaten raw, stir-fried, and made into soup. They are very popular.
Vegetables and fruits.”
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought that the tomatoes happened to bear fruit, so he immediately ordered outside to pick a few tomatoes.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen could not eat it himself, but had someone like him taste it first.
As soon as he saw it, even though he hadn't eaten yet, he felt his mouth watering and it was sour!
In the end, Emperor Chongzhen did not eat it, but said directly to Liu Weichao: "Then how can I, a tomato, turn into a tomato like you?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "This requires time to cultivate. I don't know much about seed hybridization, male and female mating, pollination, etc. This belongs to the category of biology."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. Is it so complicated? And he still couldn't understand what it means to hybridize seeds and mate male and female. What does this mean?
Although he didn’t understand, he always wanted good things. So, Emperor Chongzhen asked: “Can you also give me some biological information?”
"Of course it's no problem!" Liu Weichao answered immediately after hearing this, and then asked, "But the key problem is that I can only send it to your mobile phone, and you don't have a printer to print it out, so I will send it to you.
There is so much information, can you copy it?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen had a headache. Copying the contents of the mobile phone was really a very big project.
The most important thing is that this mobile phone is his treasure, and not anyone can take it and copy it.
Nowadays, only the prince Zhu Cihong has the qualifications to access the mobile phone. In other words, only the prince is copying the contents of the mobile phone.
Moreover, when copying the contents of his mobile phone, he had to do it while he was reviewing the memorial, so that he could put the mobile phone aside and let the prince copy it.
If he was going to discuss matters with the officials, he would have to take his cell phone with him, otherwise he would not be at ease.
Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something, and quickly asked Liu Weichao: "What did you just say, printed out from the mobile phone, what does this mean, don't you need to copy it?"
If this is the case, his biggest problem will be solved, and he can ask Liu Weichao for more and more knowledge.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao immediately shook his head and said: "Yes, I can print out everything on the phone here. Not only the pictures, but also the text, can be printed exactly on a piece of paper. But unfortunately, over there, you
It is impossible to have it. You need to have a scientific and technological foundation before you can produce printers."
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless again when he heard this.
After a while, he said with emotion: "Compared with your place, I feel this way, this is a primitive society!"
"Haha..." Liu Weichao couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and nodded in agreement, "No, at that time you were almost no different from primitive society. Yes, it was a scientific primitive society! So, vigorously promote science.
, can you transform your empire and make your empire become extremely powerful!"
When Emperor Chongzhen saw Liu Weichao like this, not only did he not become angry, but he also laughed.
After a while, he said to Liu Weichao: "I will definitely vigorously promote science. But the most important thing right now is to solve... the danger of national subjugation!"
At this point, Emperor Chongzhen asked a little doubtfully: "I saw that in the document you gave me, some of them were marked red, including potatoes and sweet potatoes. Does that mean that these are the things I should pay special attention to?"
of?"
"That's right!" Liu Weichao nodded and said, "These are high-yielding crops in my era. You should vigorously promote them. If possible, you should also breed hybrids to obtain better varieties."
After a pause, he gave Emperor Chongzhen another idea: "You are in urgent need of food now, so I will give you an idea. You can take the lead, or you can let all the officials take the lead. In your imperial garden, in the
In the gardens of officials and even in the streets and alleys, as long as there is soil, plant high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. Their leaves, stems, and roots can all satisfy your hunger and help you solve the problem of famine."
"In extraordinary times, use extraordinary means. Only by using such extreme means can you grow something to eat in the shortest time and at the fastest speed."
"Also, at this time, it seems that sweet potatoes have been planted in Fujian and Zhejiang. You can ask them to grind the sweet potatoes into powder and dry them in the sun. This way they can be stored for a long time and can be transported to the north.
Where there is famine.”
"..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard these words, his expression became serious. It was obvious that he was listening attentively and nodded from time to time.
"By the way, aren't you short of food? You can also send people to Southeast Asia, that is, Nanyang, to purchase food. They can grow three seasons a year, so there should be plenty of food..."
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being very surprised when he heard this, and said quickly: "Impossible, I haven't heard that they have three crops a year!"
After a pause, he added: "Besides, there is a riot over there, and it should have been captured by Li Thief's troops. There is no way to buy the food there!"
"..." Liu Weichao couldn't help being speechless when he heard this, and quickly explained, "It's Nanyang, not Nanyang..."
When he said this, he suddenly discovered that the pronunciation of Nanyang and Nanyang were the same.
So Li Weichao said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, he put his mobile phone on the table, then operated on the computer, called up the world map, zoomed in, then picked up the mobile phone, faced the world map, drew a circle with his hand, and at the same time said to Emperor Chongzhen
Said: "See, Nanyang, the Nanyang I'm talking about refers to this area. In fact, we are called Southeast Asia at this time, which means that the area we are in is the Asian plate, and they are the southeastern direction of Asia."
With such a clear view, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized what was going on.
In fact, we can't blame him. After all, he has lived in the capital since he was a child and has never even left the capital. He has not yet grown up and became emperor in a hurry, and then there are countless troubles.
Southeast Asia is so far away from the capital, it’s strange that he would pay attention to it!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he heard Liu Weichao say that this place had three crops a year and there must be a lot of food. Shanzhi said to Liu Weichao: "Okay, I'll take note of it, and I'll pass it on to the southern provinces later.
Buying grain from Southeast Asia…”
In order to distinguish Nanyang, he followed Liu Weichao and talked about Southeast Asia.
When talking about the latter part, Emperor Chongzhen thought of something again. He did not tell Liu Weichao, but he decided in his heart. It seemed that those over there were vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, just issue a decree and let them pay tribute of grain!
Thinking about this matter, Emperor Chongzhen said a few more words to Liu Weichao, then hung up the video communication. He took the time to read the documents, get familiar with the plants as soon as possible, and then told Wang Xiangjin to do the work.
As for Liu Weichao, after hanging up the video communication, he suddenly remembered that he initiated this communication and wanted to ask Emperor Chongzhen for some videos.
As a result, while talking, he was busy telling Emperor Chongzhen about his things and forgot about his own things.
"..." A bit speechless!
Thinking of this, Liu Weichao smiled again, forget it, let's just talk about it next time.
Because he knew that Emperor Chongzhen must be reading that document very hard, and he might stay up all night today, at least until late at night, so he would not be disturbed.
Liu Weichao was not mistaken. Emperor Chongzhen had been reading that document until late at night.
There was no way, it was impossible for him to give this phone to anyone else, including Wang Chengen.
It would be okay for Prince Zhu Cihong to look at his cell phone next to him, but the Prince's familiarity with Liu Weichao's documents was far inferior to him.
More importantly, he still had to instruct Wang Xiangjin to do things based on this document, so he could only read it himself.
Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen got up early to handle government affairs as usual.
The first thing he had to do was to summon Wang Xiangjin.
Besides, Wang Xiangjin was left in the dark by Emperor Chongzhen for a whole day yesterday. This early in the morning, he was summoned to visit again, which made him a little confused.
But when he found out that he was being led to the Royal Garden by the chamberlain, he roughly guessed what was going on.
It must be the current emperor. He originally wanted to dispose of his treasures himself, but in the end he couldn't admit them all: so in the end, he had to be summoned.
Thinking like this, Wang Xiangjin couldn't help but feel a little proud: In today's Ming Dynasty, as far as flowers and plants are concerned, if he is second, who dares to be first?
