Chapter 371: Empress Dowager Xiang and Li Qiushui
readx;
Zhao Xu lifted the gauze on one of the pots, revealing a plump golden ear of rice. www.biquge.info In an instant, Zhao Xu's breathing stopped, and he couldn't believe the authenticity of the rice ear in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and touched it gently, and muttered: "There are really such full ears of rice, if you plant one acre, it can indeed reach 1,800 catties." Mr. Ji, how you planted this rice plant is unheard of. ”
The emperor would personally go to the fields to cultivate every year, and the autumn harvest would depend on the rice fields, and Zhao Xu knew very well what mature rice looked like. And the fullness of the rice plant in front of him completely subverted Zhao Xu's imagination, and the rice ears were more than four times full! The rice produced by the ability of the wood system is better than the watered rice, which can be said to be the peak state of these rice.
While muttering to himself, Zhao Xu couldn't wait to lift the scarves on the rest of the flower pots, revealing five rice plants and five potatoes. The golden ears of rice are beautiful, while the stems and leaves of the potatoes are a little unsightly, and in Zhao Xu's opinion, they are just a grass.
"These five pots are potatoes, which can satisfy hunger, and the land requirements are very low, and the yield is very large. An ordinary acre of land can produce 5,000 catties of potatoes, and if it is planted in a fertile field, it can even produce 7,000 catties. And potatoes are not afraid of locust plagues, with this thing, the Great Song Dynasty no longer has to worry about drought, floods and locust plagues. Ji Yang introduced to Zhao Xu.
The rice alone shocked Zhao Xu, and when he heard the introduction of potatoes, Zhao Xu's breathing became short: "Seriously, this thing can yield 5,000 catties per mu!" ”
Ji Yang stepped forward and kicked the flower pot to pieces, shook the soil with skillful strength, and lifted a potato plant. There are more than 20 potatoes in this plant, which are large and fat, and have a strong visual impact on Zhao Xu.
"These are potatoes, can they all be eaten?" Zhao Xu ignored the mud and stepped forward to pick a potato, which was full of portions.
"That's right, you can eat it as long as it's cooked, and it's good for the stomach and very full. However, the stems and leaves of potatoes cannot be eaten, and they cannot be eaten even if they have teeth, so they should not be stored in humidity and high temperatures. Ji Yang said.
He also picked one and directly urged the thunder system true qi to cook the potatoes electrically, with Ji Yang's control, the electrically cooked food was more fragrant and tender than the steamed ones. He broke the cooked potatoes and gave them to Zhao Xu: "The emperor can taste them." ”
While speaking, Ji Yang ate the other half by himself.
Smelling the aroma of potatoes and seeing that Ji Yang ate so fragrantly, Zhao Xu also took a bite and tasted it carefully: "Yes, this potato fragrant cotton is loose, the elderly and children can eat it, it is indeed a rare crop." ”
As he spoke, he ate half of the potato.
"Potatoes can be used as a vegetable or as a staple food, and the average person will be full after eating a few, and they can be used as military food." Ji Yang said.
"Good, good!" Zhao Xu ate half of the potato, felt a little full in his stomach, and was pleasantly surprised: "There are so many potatoes in one plant, it is not difficult to produce 5,000 catties per mu, and I don't have to worry about lack of food anymore." ”
"Your Majesty, this is a god-given spiritual seed, with these two crops, it will not be difficult to change the law." Ji Yang said.
"You're right, you really want to change it again, so don't want the green seedling method." Zhao Xu's face was full of longing, and then he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Ji, I will announce to the world tomorrow that the heavens will give you the spiritual seed, and then make you a national teacher!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Yang arched his hand and did not refuse.
He also wants to develop in the Tianlong World, although the national teacher has no real power, but it is convenient to do things. Zhao Xu saw that he did not refuse, and his heart was even happier, which showed that Ji Yang was willing to do things for Da Song.
The next day, Zhao Xu, like the last time he announced the descendants of the divine dog, held a ceremony of heaven-sent spirit seeds.
When he showed five rice plants and four potatoes in public, the whole country shook for a while. The civil and military officials didn't need Zhao Xu to say much at all, they all prostrated on the ground to praise the sky and praise the Son of Heaven.
If the divine dog is just a plaything, then rice and potatoes are really related to the fortune of the country, who dares to doubt it.
Both the new party and the old party immediately understood that the world was really going to change, and there was no point in fighting for the law. Not for the worse, of course, but for the better, to the point where they could hardly have imagined.
Hybrid rice alone can completely solve the grain problem of the Great Song Dynasty, and with the addition of a kind of potato, the grain surplus of the Great Song Dynasty can be much surplus. And the result is that more manpower can be left idle and filled with troops to fight, not to mention fighting on both sides, that is, fighting on all sides is not afraid.
Others don't know the true origin of rice and potatoes, and they really think that God bless the Great Song and praise them vigorously. Only Empress Dowager Xiang was shocked and set her eyes on Ji Yang, she finally knew why Ji Yang wanted her to leave that day.
Later, Zhao Xu named Ji Yang as the national teacher, and explained that the spirit seed was obtained by the national teacher praying for him. The civil and military officials had long known that Ji Yang's cultivation was profound, and when they heard that he could still pray to the heavens, the eyes that looked at Ji Yang were even more awe-inspiring.
"God bless the Great Song, the Son of Heaven Shengming!" Even Su Shi, who was quite dissatisfied with Zhao Xu before, bowed and worshiped from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Xu sent the forbidden army to guard nine flower pots, as well as a bag of seeds and a bag of potatoes given by Ji Yang. The ritual of worshipping God was very complicated and solemn, and it took more than three hours to complete.
Subsequently, he ordered the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to be responsible for planting rice and potatoes, and ordered Zhangdun and Su Shi to jointly supervise the matter. After Ji Yang's explanation, Zhao Xu also understood the disadvantages of the dispute between the two parties, and with hybrid rice and potatoes to protect the country, he was no longer worried about changing the law.
After retiring from the dynasty, Ji Yang originally planned to return to Ji Mansion, but was invited to the Queen Mother.
"Congratulations, Master Guoshi." Xiang Empress Dowager smiled and said, she thought that Ji Yang sacrificed the spirit seed to be a national teacher.
"The Queen Mother should congratulate the Great Song Dynasty, the heaven-given spiritual seed is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty." Ji Yang arched towards the heavenly arch.
"You don't need to say these words to me, how can this palace not know that the spirit seed is offered by the national teacher. Hongu also knew that the national teacher had given the vulture palace master a thing called an electric lamp, which was as bright as the stars and the moon. Xiang said to the Queen Mother.
"Do you know Li Qiushui?" Ji Yang's expression changed slightly.
"Not only do we know each other, we are still friends, and I also know something about the national teacher. I heard that the national teacher knows everything and is omnipotent, and as long as there is trouble, you can find you, I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the national teacher's magical powers are really extraordinary. I have a problem that no one in the Central Plains can solve for thousands of years, and the national teacher solved it as soon as he made a move, and the palace admired it tightly. Xiang said to the Queen Mother.
"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it." Ji Yang smiled.
He didn't care that Empress Dowager Xiang knew her identity, although this woman was also in the Ninefold Realm, she was not his opponent. If Li Qiushui, the innate old demon woman, came, Ji Yang might be afraid of three points.
Xiang Xiang showed a hint of expectation to the Queen Mother and said: "The national teacher has great powers, and the palace also has some troubles, I don't know if the national teacher can help." ”
Ji Yang asked: "Queen Mother, don't misunderstand, there are indeed some small spells in the lower part, and they are definitely not supernatural." ”
Xiang said to the Queen Mother: "Don't worry, I don't need you to do anything earth-shattering, as long as you do a small favor." I feel bored in the palace all the year round, and I wonder if the national teacher can also give me some electric lights and other gadgets. ”
Ji Yang thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's really not a difficult thing, I'll ask someone to present it in a few days." ”
Empress Dowager Xiang smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you National Teacher, in addition, Palace Master Li asked me to tell you that she was not good last time, I hope you don't be surprised, and you can continue to send diesel fuel to the Vulture Palace in the future." ”
The lights in the Vulture Palace are all powered by a diesel engine, and since the last fight, Ji Yang has not sent her diesel. Li Qiushui has long been accustomed to the electric lights in the palace, once the power goes out, where can she stand it, she still wants to use the oil in the oil lamp, but it doesn't.
In desperation, Li Qiushui couldn't pull his face down and reconciled with Ji Yang, so he found an intercession with the Queen Mother.
Ji Yang smiled and said: "Are you a porter as a national teacher, if you want diesel, ask her to come to me by herself." ”
Last time, he was seriously injured by Li Qiushui, if he hadn't broken through the realm at the time of life and death, Ji Yang would probably have hung up. With such a deep hatred, how could Ji Yang easily forgive Li Qiushui, and don't think about easing the relationship without taking a cart of marrow washing pills. (To be continued.) )
