Chapter 830: Corn

readx;

The three old men were also at a loss after hearing about the drought in Qin, the three old men were not agricultural experts, although Yang Yiyan had been in the countryside for a long time, but the three rooms were close to the lake, and it was a place that relied on water to draft, and there were few droughts.

Although the three old men are not agricultural experts, they have a wide range of connections, Zhou Lao took out the phone and called an old friend of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and after chatting for a while with a smile, Zhou Lao brought the topic to the issue of drought resistance without a trace.

The agricultural expert on the other side is also an old pedantic figure, hearing Zhou Lao ask about the topic of his expertise, he talked endlessly, Zhou Lao secretly pressed the record button, and hung up the phone with the unfinished agricultural expert an hour later.

After listening to the recording twice, Tang Dou had a spectrum in his heart, and found some equipment to go to various parts of Qin to collect air data, or Zhou Lao called a student who was the head of a weather station, and the student was ecstatic when he received Zhou Lao's call, and he didn't ask Zhou Lao where the data provided by Zhou Lao came from and what they were used for, and immediately began to analyze the data, and quickly came to a conclusion.

Tang Dou discussed with the three old men, and Zhou Lao scolded with a smile: "Boy, hurry up and get in front of Qin Shi Huang to pretend to be a magic stick." ”

Tang Dou touched his neck with a sad face and smiled bitterly: "Master, it seems that I am going to be a porter, okay?" ”

Zhou Lao smiled and slapped Tang Dou: "Get out." ”

Tang Dou crossed to the Xianyang Palace, the old god was pacing out of the room with a packing bag, and Xiao Qin Shi Huang, Princess Haoyue and Li Si were already waiting in the main hall.

When Xiao Qin Shi Huang saw Tang Dou coming out, he immediately rushed over and grabbed Tang Dou's arm, tilted his head and asked hopefully, "Master, is there a way?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and said: "It's spring, the spring drought is coming to an end, and I expect that there will be rain in the sky within ten days." ”

Li Si on the side said with a sad face: "Childe, even if there will be rain in ten days, but the seedlings in the field can no longer support ten days, even if the people replant crops in time after the rain, but this year's harvest is only one season, I am afraid that the people will still be hungry when the green and yellow crops are not harvested next year." ”

Tang Dou smiled and asked, "What are the main crops cultivated by the people now?" How much is the production? ”

Li Si replied: "The Qin State has always been mainly cultivated millet, and the application of cattle and iron tools has always ranked first among the seven kingdoms, with a yield of 400 catties per mu. If it weren't for this great drought, it would be more than enough for itself. ”

Tang Dou smiled, shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Tang Dou knew that the agricultural development of Qin during the Warring States Period was the most advanced among the Warring States Period, according to Qin Jian's "Qin Law", there were grain warehouses with 10,000 stones everywhere in Qin, 20,000 stone granaries in Liyang, and 100,000 stones in Xianyang granaries. The battle of rafting recorded in the thirteenth year of the reign of the Duke of Yan describes the grand occasion when the Qin State transported grain to the Jin State, and thousands of boats were loaded with grain, as if it were a war.

Although all countries are very hostile to Qin, they also have to admit that Qin's wealth is ten times that of the world.

Therefore, the Qin State has been fighting for many years, and in this year of great disaster, the surplus grain of the Qin State can still support for several months, if this situation happened to other countries, I am afraid that the national economy would have collapsed long ago.

After sitting down, Tang Dou said with a smile: "The yield of millet per mu is 400 catties, which sounds like a lot of yield." ”

Li Si looked at Tang Dou, the yield per mu is four hundred, not to mention a lot, those countries that do not use ploughing cattle and iron tools, the yield of millet is only two hundred and seventy or eighty catties, the difference is too great.

Tang Dou smiled and said: "The green seedlings in the field have basically died of drought, Zheng'er, you order to go down, so that the severely affected places do not have to be saved in vain." After three days, you have the seeds collected and distributed to the various places, and when the rain comes, you will immediately plant them, and when the crops are harvested, the harvest will be enough to feed everyone. ”

Can a season's harvest feed everyone?

Qin Shi Huang, Princess Haoyue, and Li Si looked at Tang Dou in surprise, and Qin Shi Huang asked, "Master, what kind of seed are you going to give me?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and said: "Corn, the yield per mu of this crop will reach 1,000 catties to 1,500 catties, and if it is planted properly, the yield may be higher." ”

"A thousand pounds? What kind of food production is so high? Qin Shi Huang's eyes widened in surprise.

Tang Dou laughed, reached out and put a plastic bag that had been in his hand on the several cases in front of him, opened the plastic bag, and revealed a few corn cobs that were still steaming.

Tang Dou picked up a corn cob, reached out and tore off the bud coat and handed it to Princess Haoyue beside him, and said with a smile: "You taste it first, this is corn." ”

In fact, Qin Shi Huang and the others had already smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from the plastic bag in Tang Dou's hand, but they were concerned about the drought situation, and they had no intention of asking Tang Dou what he had brought over for the time being.

Princess Haoyue carefully took the golden corn cob, glanced at Tang Dou, carefully took a bite on the corn cob, her eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help exclaiming in surprise: "It's so sweet, it's so fragrant." ”

Little Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait to grab a corn cob, tear off two handfuls of clothes, and bite the corn.

Tang Dou smiled and handed a piece of corn to Li Si: "Li Shaofu, don't be polite, you can also taste it, this is corn." ”

"Thank you for the reward", Li Si hurriedly took the corn with both hands, and carefully tore the ** clothes and tasted it.

Princess Haoyue had just taken two bites of the corn in her hand, and little Qin Shi Huang had already gobbled up the corn in his hand, reached out and grabbed the last corn in the packing bag in his hand, and tore half of the bud clothes, only then did he think of Tang Dou, he smiled and handed the corn to Tang Dou: "Master, you eat." ”

Tang Dou smiled and said lovingly: "You eat, Master is not hungry." ”

Xiao Qin Shi Huang smiled and retracted his hand, looked at the corn and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, reached out and closed the bud that had been torn and stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile at Tang Dou: "Actually, I'm not hungry, I'll take this corn back to my mother to taste, if my mother knows that this is what the master brought from the upper realm to give her to eat, she will be very happy." ”

Princess Haoyue stopped and glared at Xiao Qin Shi Huang, Childe didn't say that it was brought to Zhao Ji to eat, but you deliberately distorted Childe's meaning.

Tang Dou didn't hear the meaning of Xiao Qin Shi Huang's words at all, he smiled and reached out and rubbed Xiao Qin Shi Huang's head: "Hundred lines of filial piety come first, yes, if you like it, I'll bring you more when you go back." ”

In "Looking for Qin", Qin Shi Huang was described ruthlessly, and even his biological mother 'Zhu Ji' finally died under his hands and was replaced by a 'fake Zhu Ji', but in fact, Qin Shi Huang in reality was also a well-behaved and filial child, which made Tang Dou very pleased.

However, Huang Da flickered and seemed to be right, in his "Looking for Qin", Qin Shi Huang was not Qin Shi Huang at all, but was replaced by Xiang Shaolong's civet cat for the prince and replaced by Zhao Pan, maybe the original Qin Shi Huang was like this.

Children need to be induced from an early age, he was only nine years old when Tang Dou contacted Qin Shi Huang, and under Tang Dou's supervision and guidance, Xiao Qin Shi Huang's heart is naturally not much different, but today's Qin Shi Huang is probably very different from Qin Shi Huang in real history.

But Tang Dou can't care so much, anyway, the history he traveled through has already been changed beyond his believable appearance, so it's better to rely on his own temperament, just like now, didn't he also bring the corn that only appeared in China at the end of the Ming Dynasty to this Warring States Period?

The reason why Tang Dou chose corn is naturally to listen to the words of the agricultural expert, corn is high yield and drought resistance, and the yield per mu reaches 1,000 catties easily, and more importantly, the distance between corn plants is relatively large, and only three or four kilograms of sowing per mu are enough, so although he still has to be a hard porter and carry some seeds here, but compared with other drought-resistant varieties of crops, moving some corn seeds over is definitely the easiest job, and you can cultivate hundreds of acres of fertile land by carrying a few bags at will. What's more, he also reserved three days for himself, and with this three-day buffer, he was already enough to move enough corn seeds.

Once these corns take root and sprout in the land of Qin, Qin will never have to worry about food from now on, which is a big thing once and for all.

After solving the important matter in their hearts, Qin Shi Huang and Li Si both became relaxed, Qin Shi Huang looked at Tang Dou and said, "Master, I have an idea, you can see if it is feasible." ”

Tang Dou smiled and said, "You say come and listen." ”

Qin Shi Huang looked at Tang Dou and said, "Seeing that old farmer's attachment to the land, I want to implement the ...... of Qianshou from the real field."

Tang Dou's eyes stood up, Qin Shi Huang didn't know why Tang Dou had such a big reaction, and instantly closed his mouth.

Tang Dou stared at Qin Shi Huang, who was at a loss, and suddenly laughed, he reached out and stroked Qin Shi Huang's head and said with a smile: "Zheng'er, you now have your own ideas, this is good, do it according to your own thoughts, Master supports you." ”

Qin Shi Huang's eyes lit up instantly, he reached out and wrapped his arms around Tang Dou's arm, tilted his head and asked excitedly, "Master, have you agreed?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and nodded: "Of course Master agrees, Qianshou eats his own fields, so that the cultivators have their own fields, this is a good thing, of course Master supports." ”

Qianshou eats his own land, that is, to distribute the land to the peasants, the implementation of private ownership of land, this policy was originally Qin Shi Huang first launched and promoted throughout the country, this move in one fell swoop broke the feudal lord land ownership system that continued to the end of the Warring States Period, but Tang Dou did not expect that the little Qin Shi Huang now has this plan, which is several decades earlier than the historical record.
