"Uh-huh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It was the first time that Zhengjian had faced Shumin so closely, and when he saw the excited and hopeful look on Shumin's face, he nodded unconsciously.

"Then you hurry up and eat, and we will go after eating. Suddenly, seeing hope, Shumin was in a very good mood, and hurriedly went back to the room to change into a mountain dress, ready to go.

Urged by Shumin, where did the two of them still have the heart to eat, and after finishing the rice in the bowl, Zhengjian couldn't wait to take Shumin to the valley in his memory.

The valley was on the south side of the village, and it was a bit barren, and Shumin walked for almost half an hour to get there.

It's a small valley, surrounded by high mountains, but the mountains are just right enough to force out all the shade, the sun is shining, and the temperature is much warmer than the surrounding area.

Although it was only the beginning of spring, the valley was already full of greenery, and it was clear that the vegetation here was growing faster than outside.

There is a small stream flowing out of the rock crevice in the valley, the stream is crystal clear, about a finger deep, when Shumin splashed water and washed his hands, he found that the water here is actually warmer than the outside, but it is not as hot as the hot spring, it is warm, very comfortable.

"The rice I found was near this stream, I can't remember exactly. "After all, that was many years ago, and Zhengjian can only remember the approximate location.

"Yes, I've roughly understood that the sun here is abundant, the temperature is higher than outside, and the water flow is at room temperature, and the soil is very fertile, so the wild rice here is more early maturing than outside. Shumin was very happy because she finally figured out the key to the two crops.

"But this valley is so small, and the water flow is so small, that there is no way to build fields. Chu Feng saw that she was excited, and couldn't help but splash her cold water.

"It's okay, we can simulate an environment like this. But I'll have to try it to find out. Shumin wasn't hit by him in the slightest. She turned to Zhengjian and said, "Let's draw a small area here, and tomorrow we will scatter some seeds, and if it can grow to the height we want in the time we have set, maybe we can experiment with two crops of rice." ”

"Uh-huh. Zhengjian nodded, she would do whatever she wanted, he would not have an opinion, and in this matter, he had an intuition that she must be right.

"But even if you succeed here, you won't be able to plant rice this year. Chu Feng reminded her.

"No, it's too late, look at the vegetation here, it's at least more than a month earlier than the outside, this more than a month is our extra time, if the experiment is successful, the conversion time is only a little more than two months outside, and we have time at all. Shumin replied with a smile.

While it was still early, the three of them cleaned up a little here, and drew about a point in size.

Shumin drew two parts of the land, planning to make one part in the open air, and the other part with a bracket to make a suggested shed, and she gave Zhengjian a task to pay attention to the situation here every day, and record the difference between the growth of rice with and without a shed.

Back at Minyuan, Shumin couldn't wait to let Liu Er go to Lizheng's house to get half a catty of rice seeds, and she divided the half-catty rice seeds into two parts, one planned to be sprinkled directly in the ground, and the other was planned to germinate by herself.

She had heard her grandmother say that the temperature of rice germination should not be too high, so she put them in a basket, covered them with a cloth, watered them, and placed them next to the stove.

Two days later, she was really successful in germinating.

She excitedly sprinkled the successful germination seeds on the half-part field of the small shed, and the other side of the rice seeds that had been sown two days earlier did not have any response.

Since then, Zhengjian's daily task is to squat in this small valley, silently watching the situation of the rice, and recording it every day.

Two days later, he simply built a small hut in the valley and lived in it, and the daily food was brought to him by Minyuan.

This job seems simple, but it is very boring, Shumin was worried that he would not be able to persevere, but he did not expect that he did a good job, and the records of each day were very detailed.

With the passage of time, the difference between the rice on both sides is getting bigger and bigger, the rice that has been sprouted and covered with a shed by Shumin grows significantly faster than the one that has not been germinated and has not covered the shed, half a month later, the rice that has been covered has grown to more than ten centimeters, but the one that has not been covered is only seven or eight centimeters.

The temperature in the valley is a bit warmer than outside, and when converted into the corresponding month, it should be the middle of February.

Generally, rice is seeded from mid-March to early April, if the seedlings are started in mid-February, after three, four, five, **** months of growth, then the rice should be harvested in late June. The second season of rice grows faster because of the temperature, and it can be planted again in seven, eight, nine and three months.

In this way, the time is just right, and two crops of rice can theoretically be planted here.

After getting this conclusion, Shu Min couldn't sleep all night happily, and couldn't wait to start the promotion of two crops of rice immediately.

Hearing Shumin say that two crops of rice are really feasible, Zhengjian was also excited for a long time, for more than half a month, he endured the wind and sun and loneliness, watching the rice sprout from the seed little by little, growing, his heart is full of a sense of achievement, this is the first time he has done one thing so seriously since he was a child, if the two seasons of rice are really promoted, in this, is he a hero?

"Don't be too happy, it's easy to build a small shed, but in a field as big as that, you can't just build a shed. Chu Feng looked at the two who were a little overly happy, and couldn't help but splash cold water on them.

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Shu Min fell into deep thought.

Indeed, if we do not solve the problem of raising seedlings, we will still not be able to harvest in June, so at most, the rice will be harvested in advance, and the planting effect of two crops of rice will not be really achieved.

"It would be nice if we had a large field for us to experiment, whether it was successful or not, this data is more accurate. Zhengjian said with a sigh.

"The fields are the lifeblood of the villagers, who is willing to take them out and mess with you. Chu Feng said.

"I have some good land, but it's far from here. Shumin said.

"You don't want to use those 100 acres of land, do you? That's 100 acres, if you miss the time to plant, how much will you lose?" Chu Feng reminded her, "Besides, the 100 acres, what about your grain seeds? Who will help you build a shed? Help you look at the land? If you hire someone, how will the wages be calculated? How will the cost of building a shed be calculated? If you fail, how much will you lose? Have you thought about it?"

"Are you also so verbose when you follow Chu Hou?" Seeing that he was verbose, the emperor was not in a hurry, and the eunuch was in a hurry, Shumin joked with him, "You just don't block the guards, I think you are more suitable to be a housekeeper, hehehe." ”

"I don't bother to care about you. Chu Feng blushed at what she said, and crossed his waist and went into the backyard to find his other good brother Wangcai.

"Say I'm nosy, she's a woman who develops two-crop rice is a lot of things, why are you so tired all day long, and Minyuan has no shortage of food and drink!" he hugged Wangcai and grunted.

"Brother Zhengjian too, I thought he was a normal person, who knows who will accompany her to go crazy, see who they will cry after they fail!"

Although what Chu Feng said was not unpleasant, it was not unreasonable, Shu Min thought about it and decided that she still had to discuss it with Uncle Li Zheng, anyway, she had already decided to use the 100 acres of land as a test site, whether it was successful or not, there would be no loss in the village.

After listening to her words, Li Zheng was silent for a long time, and his eyes kept wandering over her and Zhengjian.

This stinky boy, I thought that he disappeared for more than half a month for no reason and went back to the past, and went to the town to gamble, but I didn't expect that he had been following Shumin to study the rice thing, no matter whether this thing was successful or not, his heart was always comforted.

"Hui'er Niang, what you said is too involved, although it sounds feasible, but if something goes wrong, I can't explain it to the villagers. Li Zheng is also looking forward to the two crops of rice, but their ancestors have been farming like this for generations, and the time and place are favorable, and the slightest mistake may lead to a decrease in the yield or even no harvest this year.

"If it doesn't affect it, I plan to use my 100 acres to test it first, if it is feasible, we will promote it next year, if not, the loss is also my 100 acres of land. Shumin said.

"Oops, you...... Why don't you listen to persuasion, if we could grow two crops of rice, our ancestors would have planted it a long time ago, and we still have to wait for today? Your 100 acres of land are not easy to get, or rent it to honest and reliable people, and you can still harvest some grain in the autumn. Li Zheng persuaded that he really didn't understand Shumin, so why should he take such a big risk? In his opinion, the two crops of rice were just these two people messing around.

A woman who does not distinguish between grains, and a child who has been hanging since he was a child and has sloppy farming experience. What to say about studying two crops of rice!

He felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.

"I think we can try it, the things handed down by our ancestors are not unchanged, let's just talk about beans, we all thought they were cheap foods, but didn't Mrs. Qin turn them into tofu that everyone loves to eat?" Zhengjian said, "Uncle, think about it, if we succeed in the experiment, then we can double the amount of food." Every household will receive twice as much, and in the future, will there be hungry people in Linjiang Town, or even in our entire country? This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, as long as Brother Zhengmin reports our merits, he will be promoted to the third level immediately, and he may be directly favored by the emperor, and he may not necessarily be ...... to become the prime minister."

"Puff......" Shu Min couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the more he said, the more exaggerated he became.

Li Zheng slapped him angrily. said, "It's okay for you to blow a few words, you haven't had a positive shape since you were a child!"

Although what Zhengjian said was exaggerated, Li Zheng was moved by what he said.

In any case, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but is it really necessary for Shumin not to take such a risk alone?

The research on two crops of rice, the early investment must not be low, if it fails, the loss is not a star and a half.

But this kid rarely begs for himself, and Zhengjian rarely does one thing with his heart, and he really can't afford to harden his heart if he pushes them directly.

But what to do? You can't let the whole village accompany him to go crazy, can you?!(To be continued.) )
