Episode 0315: A big sell
Luoyang's "Scholarly Gate Building" is crowded with people, and the long queue can almost surround Luoyang several times.
Suddenly, a person crossed the long line and walked to the front of the building with an arrogant face, shouting: "The seventeenth volume of this historical record, our Yuan family wants it, how much money is reported directly by the shopkeeper, my Yuan family has money!" ”
The man surnamed Yuan waited for a long time, but the shopkeeper didn't seem to hear it at all, and continued to sell books to the people in line, not paying attention to the people of the Yuan family at all.
The surnamed Yuan was furious, and shouted loudly, "I am Yuan Er, the housekeeper of the Yuan family, you shopkeeper dare to ignore Lao Tzu, are you impatient?" ”
A soldier "snapped" a slap directly to the ground that Yuan Ergai fell to the ground, took out a five-colored stick and wanted to kill him on the street, but he heard the shopkeeper say lightly, "I'm afraid this person doesn't know the rules of this building, so spare him if he thinks of his first offense." ”
Yuan Er struggled to get up from the ground with a face of disbelief, and the book buyers in line next to him stretched out a hand to support him, Yuan Er still looked at the building and said fiercely, "Dare to let our Yuan family line up, and dare to beat people, Lao Tzu will never spare him." ”
"I said Brother Yuan, let's say a few words, it's not easy to live, don't look for death."
The surnamed Yuan turned around and found that the person who helped him up turned out to be the chief butler of the general He Jin's family, and he was stunned and muttered, "You, you also need to line up?" ”
Now in Luoyang, He Jin is powerful, and the big housekeeper of He Mansion is naturally rising, there are so many people who ask him to do things, and how difficult it is to see him, even Yuan Er can know the housekeeper of He Mansion, and he has personally run to He Mansion countless times, so he is just familiar.
Without waiting for Steward He to reply, the people in line in front of Steward He were buying books with the shopkeeper, and the people behind him kept making noise, which made him annoyed, and the man couldn't help but turn around and shout loudly, "What is the noise?" Shut up. ”
The scolding was quite flamboyant, but the voice was a little sharp, and it sounded a little harsh.
Yuan Er was about to return the favor, but when he looked up, he seemed familiar and thought about it carefully.
"Hiss......"
Looking at this person's face, Yuan Er gasped, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it in a daze for a long time, the person in front of him turned out to be the "middle attendant" Lu Qiang!
"This, this, this ......"
A young boy behind Steward He looked at Yuan Er with a hostile face and shouted, "Don't hurry up and go to the queue, a little butler dares to babble, if you don't get out, Lao Tzu will abolish you." ”
Yuan Er was about to get angry, but he saw that Steward He's face changed violently, he clenched his fists and said with a flattering smile on his face: "Prince Wang, you also bought the book yourself, fortunately, I will be lucky." ”
Yuan Er was shocked when he saw that Steward He was so attentive, and he fixed his eyes on it, this person turned out to be Wang Ding, the third son of Wang Yun's family!
There is Lu Qiang in the front, Wang Yun in the back, and the person from the He Mansion in the middle, who is not a prominent and powerful person, of course Yuan Er knows that he is nothing compared to them, so he immediately lined up in the rear.
On the way back, many people heard cynicism.
"What's the matter, you still dare to cut in line, you should ask the Yuan family how to educate the slaves."
"It's ridiculous that a housekeeper is crazier than my younger brother."
"Dare to act as an uncle in front of the building opened by the general, your kid is lucky, he actually returned alive, remember to bring a coffin next time he cuts the line, so he can be buried on the spot."
“……”
The more Yuan Er listened, the more frightened he was and shrank to the end of the line, and he was even more afraid in his heart, it turned out that this building was opened by the Hou General, no wonder the master asked me to buy the book in person, not because I would not buy the wrong thing when I did things, but because other subordinates came, I am afraid that it would be rude to the Hou General.
…………
Not far outside Chang'an City, a large number of old farmers threw themselves into the fields, as if they were planting something.
Experienced people can see at a glance that this field is not a small area is a good field, and this group of old farmers is an old farmer who has been farming for half his life.
This is a scene seen from afar, but it can't be taken seriously, once it gets close, I'm afraid anyone can't help but shake their heads and sigh, scolding these old peasants for their tyrannical destruction.
In such a fertile field, the crops planted are either green and yellow, or crooked, and even large areas of crops are dead, and some of them are strange shapes, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable to see.
And what is even more strange is that almost all of these old peasants have knives and shovels, and they barely move when they squat in the fields, as if they were not here to farm, but to carve.
An old farmer couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he saw that most of the hundreds of wheat plants he had planted had died, looking at the old man Li in front of him, and couldn't help shouting, "Old Li, how are you doing over there?" ”
Hearing this, Old Man Li stood up, beat his swollen waist, looked at a withered crop blankly, and said loudly, "Hey, no, if you plant it so carefully, you still die one after another." ”
The answers of these two people are ridiculous, two people dressed as old farmers, one person can only plant hundreds of wheat plants, and there are seven or eight out of ten dead people, and what do they say about "careful planting", even if they don't care at all, I am afraid that the yield is higher than that of these people's "careful planting".
The same questions rang out from place to place, but the answers were the same, almost everyone sighed and shook their heads, and after the sighs, they began to pluck the dead crops and plant a new batch of crops, whether wheat or sorghum or even barley, in short, all kinds of things.
There are many different types of planting, and the planting methods are different, but the only thing that is the same is that on this fertile field, almost everything is planted and what is withered, and there is no one that can survive successfully anyway.
Lao Li planted the crops in his hand, took out a knife to carve left and right, as if to engrave words on the crops, and after a while, he just cut a small hole in the crops, and then intervened another small crop into the small mouth, Lao Li pressed the thumb of his right hand, and the two completely different crops were connected together.
Looking carefully at this fertile field, there are no less than thousands of people dressed as old farmers, and everyone is doing incomprehensible things like Lao Li.
What does this do?
After some busyness, the old farmer and Lao Li were also a little tired, after all, they were old people, and the two sat on the ridge to rest.
Lao Li pounded his waist and said to the old farmer: "What do you say this is for?" It's weird that this kind of planting doesn't die, how did you come up with this? ”
The old farmer shook his head and said, "Hey, who knows, what kind of 'experiment' is he doing, what kind of 'grafting' is he doing?" ”
Another old farmer seemed to be familiar with Lao Li and couldn't help but say, "What is 'grafting', this is called 'hybridization'." ”
The words of the three seemed to arouse the interest of the surrounding old farmers, and for a while, they were all arguing about "grafting" and "hybridization".
……
……
"Grafting" and "hybridization"?
Of course, these are what Peng Yu came up with, of course, this group of old farmers brought back from Wancheng is an army of 3,000 old farmers, this fertile land is naturally a place of experimentation, Peng Yu is in charge of food and housing, and even pays wages, even unlimited time, the only requirement is that this group of old farmers will create hybrid rice and hybrid wheat that will appear after two thousand years after continuous experiments.
It's just that although this work has been tried for a long time, because Peng Yu only knows about this matter but doesn't know why, how does Peng Yu know that hybridization is carried out with pollen from different crops? Such a random attempt, of course, the result is not satisfactory, these old farmers still have a long way to go.
