The four jars Akagata brought, the glass jar is an important thing, and the remaining agricultural and sideline products also caused a sensation here, but for the south, growing bean sprouts is a more troublesome thing.
situation.
Therefore, next is the key point that Yu Zai wants to talk about.
That is "cultivation based on merit".
There are also wizards in the market, although not many. Wizards like the Tong Hong family came to see the market. Although it is not open, people are here at least. At this time, Ruzai will take this opportunity to first tell you about rural production.
grain planning.
When planting bean sprouts in the south, the yield is far less than that in the north, and the planting area must also be selected. It cannot be planted on soil that is too moist. Although soybeans like temperature, the soil moisture in the south is too high, and pests are frequent, so soil preparation is required.
Preparing farmland is much more troublesome than paddy fields.
The so-called "get twice the result with half the effort" is probably what it is. Therefore, when the tillers planted bean sprouts, they could only barely maintain an edible level, and their life was quite tight.
"Do you know about oranges?"
For wizards, of course Orange is known.
.........
"The Book of Mountains and Seas·Zhongshan Jing" records that there are also orange trees among the lush fruit trees growing on Lunshan Mountain. Three hundred and fifty miles northeast, it is called Lunshan Mountain. Its trees have many catalpa trees, many peach branches, many catalpas, chestnuts, oranges, and citrons.
Its beasts have many houses, huts, halls, and libations.
Moreover, there are also many cuckoos, also known as cuckoos, in Lunshan.
As for the four beasts at the back, Lu, Shu, Hall, and Dian, from a literal point of view, Lu is the door and Hall is the house.
"Ji Yun" says that Lu is a thing that looks like a donkey, but has a horn on its head and a forked thumb on its hooves. Basically, it looks like a "one-horned donkey."
Ting (Ting) is a raptor that resembles a rooster, but this term comes from the Ming Dynasty, which means that no one thought about what this thing should look like before the Ming Dynasty, and no one has ever seen it.
The 鈺 (dust) is a deer-like creature, and its tail is the raw material of ancient whisks, and is the prototype of the "immortal deer".
As for "Dian", this beast that symbolizes death, in the annotations of later generations, it is said that it has blue fur, looks like a large rabbit, but has the hooves of a deer.

Yu Zai said to them: "Oranges grow in the Lunzhe Mountains in the Huai region, near the middle reaches of the Huai River. Oranges grown in the south of Huai are called tangerines, while those grown in the north of Huai are called trifoliates. The leaves are the same, but the taste is different. Why?"
What is the reason for this?
People looked at each other, and of course Ruzai knew that oranges and tangerines were not the same thing at all, but it was not important at this time, just to tell everyone a new truth.
"It's because the water and soil are different."
Yu Zai said: "Shu can be grown in large areas in the north, and the yield is higher than in the south. However, no matter how much land is reclaimed in the south, the cultivation of Shu is not as good as in the north. Similarly, when wheat is grown in the north, it cannot be grown in the south, but rice in the south
But it can be grown in the north, because the adaptability of rice is better than that of wheat."
"Cereals and crops have different characteristics depending on where they are produced. Some like drought, some like paddy fields, some are planted in highlands, and some grow on the edge of swamps."
"Natural selection is the result of natural selection, and the water and soil are different, so the valleys are different."
"So, we need to select the best and cultivate them. In fact, it is very different from what everyone has done before, which is to select those that grow well, keep them, and carry out the next generation on the selected good land in the standard climate of the south.
Artificial cultivation, regular insecticides and weeding, so from generation to generation, year after year, these native grains will become more and more adapted to the geographical environment of the south."
"A long time ago, grains were also weeds. In the era of the Three Ancient Emperors, some people discovered that these grains were edible. Although they tasted bad, they could fill the stomach and would not have negative effects on the body, so these weeds were preserved.
Come down."
"During the reign of Shennong, Shennong continued to domesticate these grains and finally found the most suitable ones for farming. These are the predecessors of grains."
"It only takes half a year for grains to grow, but a human can live a hundred years in a lifetime. A human's lifetime is two hundred lives of grains. Two hundred lives, its adaptability to the world and the earth has already surpassed that of humans."
"In addition to slow domestication, there is another method that can greatly shorten the domestication time, and that is hybridization."
When Yuan Zai said this, everyone else was a little stunned, but Yuan Zai smiled and said:
"I know a place that may have bean sprouts that are suitable for us. By crossing the bean sprouts from that place with the bean sprouts here, the new bean sprouts produced can be completely adapted to the climate in the south."
This place is the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which should be called the Southwest Wilderness at this time.
If the topography of the world of mountains and seas is not much different from that of ancient China, then walking all the way to the southwest wilderness, there should be many special types of native bean sprouts near the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the wild bean sprouts near the river basins are probably the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
subspecies above.
In order to adapt to the environment, the yield was reduced in exchange for strong vitality. But now, with the massive cultivation of the human race, Shu will complete another "environmental adaptation" during the cultivation process.
But most people don't seem to understand the so-called "hybridization", so some people asked tentatively: "What is hybridization? Is it a hybrid between rice and beetroot? You can't grow anything, right?"
"Hey, can jujubes be hybridized with bean sprouts? When the jujubes are peeled off, what's inside will be bean sprouts?"
Grandma, why don’t you plant a gourd baby? There are seven flowers on a vine, with jujubes in the front and watermelons in the back.
This picture seems a bit excessive. If you want to grow watermelons, you may have to go to Egypt to talk to the Pharaoh about cross-border trade.
The market suddenly became noisy, and because the wizards were more intelligent, they quickly understood what Sun Zai meant, that is, the next generation of varieties was born from the crossbreeding of similar grains from different regions!
They suddenly became excited: "Well, if it succeeds, Zigu will have the excellent characteristics of Mother Valley?"
But some people question: "When your mother and father gave birth to you, not only did you not inherit their good qualities, but you inherited all their bad qualities. This is what you call a biological child."
"Hahaha, grains are different from people!"
Yuzai immediately laughed and explained to them that plants do not have self-thought, but things like Shanbo's are too rare in the world.
The cooperative plans to open a "test field" and needs better plants from each tribe, and then conducts the first hybrid experiment between mountains and seas.
People in the Central Plains were also surprised when they heard this. Several Qi Refiners' eyes suddenly brightened, and a pair of Yuhe from the north gate asked happily: "What do you think of this place now?"
The old gentleman kept his mouth closed and didn't say a word, but it seemed that he was still a little unconvinced.
But at this time, a voice interrupted the noise. Prince Changqin came over and saw Zhu Rong at a glance!
"Father!"
This sound made Yuzai a little confused.
————
Among the crowd, there was a tall and handsome man carrying a golden axe. He didn’t speak during the whole process. Look, after listening to the many knowledge that Yu Zai had mentioned before, as well as those strange agricultural and sideline products, at this time, he smiled slightly.
A smile.
Boy, you have aroused my interest.
So he turned around, and with a flicker of his body, he suddenly disappeared on the spot. But above the nine heavens, suddenly the clouds began to rise, and there was a celestial dragon with two wings on its back. It stirred up the wind and clouds and crashed into a mountain not far away.
Because red pine nuts have been continuously affecting the wind and rain system in the south recently, they finally alerted a certain "rain god" here in the south.
When he woke up, the thunder shook the four poles, filled Jiugai, the water rose up, the clouds followed, the stars arched, and quickly filled the universe, and collected it into the endless land!
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas·The Great Wilderness Eastern Classic":
"In the northeastern corner of the wilderness, there is a mountain called Fierce Plow Mound. Yinglong is at the South Pole. After killing Chiyou and Kuafu, they cannot come back up. Therefore, there will be several droughts. The drought will take the shape of Yinglong, and it will rain heavily!"
"Yinglong has killed Chiyou and Kuafu, so he went to the south to kill them, so there is more rain in the south!"
