Chapter 243: Ma Zhou
"It's just a dish, there is not enough oil and water, it is not delicious to eat, but it makes people scratch their stomachs!" Zou Yu shook his head and said.
"This is going to say another measure of the prince, the prince vigorously promotes the breeding of ducks and geese, these two kinds of poultry grow fast, the key is to feed well, all with some vegetable leaves, put into the field, but also help catch insects, put in the ground to eat snails. What a win! Fang Xuanling sighed.
"Now that people breed more, they can eat chickens and ducks several times a year, and the key is that the feathers can still be sold for money, which is a stroke of genius!" Fang Xuanling continued.
"A goose can grow to more than ten catties in a year, a chicken and duck, there are also a few catties, and there are pigs, and the children in the family can take care of a few. It doesn't take much effort, that's the main thing! An emaciated young man next to Fang Xuanling said.
"This is Ma Zhou, King Ma Bin, a Hanmen scholar who came from Daxing, I saw that he was diligent and studious, so I taught him, very good!" Fang Xuanling said with admiration.
"Fang Shangshu is arranged!" Zou Yu understood that Fang Xuanling specially brought him to introduce him to him, and looking at Ma Zhou, who was still a little immature, Zou Yu still decided to let him learn more with Fang Xuanling.
Unexpectedly got a famous minister, Zou Yu was in a better mood, he went out of the city, not just to see how the people were doing, but the experimental field was outside the city.
There are too few professionals under him, and many things have to be watched in person, and he has to arrange how to do it for his subordinates.
One of the experimental fields is new crops, and the second is wheat and rice, which are the main ones.
Rice is mainly cultivated in the south, and in the north there are fewer paddy fields, so there are not many plants, and the staple food of the people is still wheat!
After experiments in Liaodong, the seeds were carefully selected, and the grain planted was indeed higher than the general yield. It's like a person who picks, all of them are about the same height, and the other is a random person, and the order is uneven.
After careful selection, the grain grown, and after harvesting, the best seeds are selected again, and the next generation will be good, after all, the genes are there.
This is just one thing, and the second is hybridization, although Zou Yu didn't know how to hybridize and breed a new generation of food crops. However, he remembers one thing, when he was a child, when he planted corn at home, he had to pollinate it by hand, which was to use a pot with a piece of paper in it, and then shake off the flour from the corn flowers. Then use a small brush to gently brush the pollen onto the ears of corn.
He couldn't find more varieties of wheat, but he asked people to collect wheat from different regions and plant them together, so that the plants themselves could slowly metamorphose.
Wheat, rice, all like this, not only want the same variety, different barley, millet, but also the same, he planted them separately, and then see if there will be a better change.
This is a long-term job, and he has arranged a group of experienced old farmers to guard and take care of it, and the only thing missing is a chief officer.
"The prince has the world in his heart, and his subordinates admire him!" After listening to Zou Yu's introduction, Fang Xuanling said with admiration.
"Alas! It's a pity that there are no professional people to worry about this matter, and I don't know how long it will take to wait for high-yield grain! And this also involves the soil and climate of various places, which is a very complex thing that ordinary people can't do. Zou Yu shook his head and said.
"Prime Minister! Students are willing to do it! Please teach me! Yang Yu took two steps forward, turned to Zou Yu and said.
Looking at Yang Yu's serious face, Zou Yu was very surprised, stepped forward to help him up and asked, "This matter is very hard, and it may not be effective, have you really thought about it?" ”
"I've figured it out! For so long, I know that the people are living so hard, and the mistakes made by my grandfather will be made up by me, the grandson! "Yang Yoo? Said with a firm face.
"Excellent! I support your decision, but you still need your mother's consent to do so! Zou Yu looked at the cheap son he had brought for so long, showed a fatherly smile, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said gently.
"Mother... Mother will definitely agree! Yang Yu smiled happily.
Yang Yu lost his father since he was a child, except for Yang Guang in the palace, all of them were subordinates, and Yang Guang was in Daxing for thirteen years from being the emperor to Daye, and the time in Daxing did not exceed one year, so you can imagine how much fatherly love is lacking.
The thirteen-year-old child is already very sensible, he vaguely knows the relationship between Zou Yu and his mother, and he was originally a little uncomfortable, but after following Zou Yu for more than half a year, he rarely experienced care and respect, so he had a feeling of facing Zou Yu in his heart.
Zou Yu's soul in the afterlife, treating anyone, what is unnatural is a mentality of equal treatment, with his fame, treating people like this, you can imagine how much respect it will make others feel.
"Okay, during this time, you follow me to learn some experience and ideas, and then slowly summarize the experience and do it according to your own ideas!" Zou Yu nodded in affirmation of his thoughts and encouraged.
"Hmm!" Thinking that there was always one thing, he was in charge of everything, and Yang Yu showed a happy look.
"Xia Guan is also willing to learn how to cultivate excellent grain seeds!" Ma Zhou said sincerely.
"King Bin, your talent is not here, follow Fang Shangshu to study, and the court will be reused in the future!" Zou Yu said sincerely.
"Thank you for the prince's attention, the lower officials dare not be ashamed! Study hard and live up to your expectations! Ma Zhou bowed gratefully.
"The court is in ruins, and we need everyone to work together, and it's good that King Bin can have this heart!" Zou Yu nodded and exclaimed.
"Lord Wang, the white stacks have been carefully cultivated and fertilized many times, and they have all borne fruit." A few people said, walked to another field, and the old farmer who followed all the way introduced with a smile.
According to the previous planting experience, most of the white stacks bear fruit every two years, but I didn't expect that all the ones planted this year actually bore fruit, so I was so happy to take care of the old farmers in the field.
"Thank you all! After the autumn harvest, celebrate everyone! Zou Yu estimated that the results of the previous two years were due to the lack of fertility, but he did not wear them, after all, these old farmers were doing things with all their hearts.
Looking at it, three or five cotton fruits have already grown on each plant, knowing that when this one is ripe, it will be cotton inside, Zou Yu couldn't help but smile happily.
You must know that although there is a lot of wool, it cannot be made into cloth now, and cloth and silk are mainly produced in the south and Sichuan and Shu, and there are very few in the north. Now with cotton, we can make up for this shortcoming. The point is that cotton, whether it is used for filling or weaving, is a very good thing.
