Following Qu Songsheng around the Huangzhuang outside Qizhou City, Xu Guangqi found that there were several rice and wheat fields that grew better than those in other parts of the Great Zhou, and the ears of wheat were relatively long and full of grains.

"Steward, the wheat fields here are growing more gratifying than other places, can you tell me why?"

Qu Songsheng was a dark-skinned middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in the clothes of a steward, but his palms were wide and rough, and he looked like he often did farm work in the fields.

"Back to Lord Xu's words, the villain was originally a farmer in Huangzhuang, and this still has a Khitan slave, and the villain has become a steward for less than a month, and the wheat fields here are all taken care of by the villain."

Xu Guangqi picked up a bunch of ears of wheat with great interest, put them in the palm of his hand, and gently rubbed them with his palms, rubbing open the wheat husk, revealing the white grains inside.

"Can you tell me why your ears of wheat grow better here than in other places?"

Qu Songsheng says:

"Back to Lord Xu, this is the result of the joint efforts of several generations of the villain's family, the villain's grandfather accidentally found some wild ears of wheat, which are longer and fuller than the ears of wheat planted in the farmland, so they were transplanted back, and after several years of cultivation, they gradually formed the current appearance."

"In the villain's generation, the villain once went to the northwest, where he also found some wild ears of wheat, and brought them back to mix with the ears of wheat cultivated by his grandfather, but he didn't expect that in a few years, these ears of wheat with full grains were cultivated."

"The yield per mu of these wheat fields tended by the villain is at least twice as high as that of other wheat fields......

After listening to this, Xu Guangqi bowed deeply to Qu Songsheng and said:

"This official wants to thank you and your family for Your Majesty and the people of Li in the Great Zhou, before this official set off, His Majesty had allowed me to find excavation talents along the way, like Mr. Qu's, this official must be recommended to the emperor."

Xu Guangqi issued the first requisition order to Qizhou Huangzhuang since his inspection, and took Qu Songsheng away from Huangzhuang and took him with him.

"These wheat fields are guarded by special personnel, and the harvested ears of wheat are properly preserved and transported to Kaifeng, Mr. Qu, the official said to take you into Beijing to offer auspiciousness, and Your Majesty will not blame us."

Guo Zongxun, who was far away in Kaifeng, was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Guangqi had discovered wheat seeds that could yield more than 400 catties per mu.

What corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, although these things can be substituted for grains, but ...... In the 2020s, which region will use corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes as the main rations?

No, although corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes have high yields and are suitable for planting in both north and south, they are all classified as coarse grains after all.

What can really feed people and raise them physically strong is still rice and white flour.

There are many kinds of wheat in the north and rice in the south, and Guo Zongxun also knows that the black soil in the northeast is the real granary of China.

Xu Guangqi went out and found wheat seeds that could more than double the yield per mu, which made Guo Zongxun see the hope that the Great Zhou would be stronger.

Without waiting for Xu Guangqi and Qu Songsheng to return to Beijing, Guo Zongxun couldn't wait to give an order, and after the wheat fields found by Xu Guangqi were harvested, they were quickly sent to Kaifeng, so that I could be happy.

This kind of auspiciousness can be offered everywhere, just don't brag about the satellite.

The hundred officials did not know what the emperor meant by putting satellites, but for a time there was a craze for finding excellent wheat and rice seeds.

Just when Guo Zongxun was happy to find a high-yield wheat seed, in a slum area in the eastern city of Kaifeng City, Chai Shouli and Liu Liancheng were sighing for a long time.

"Dead old man, why don't you brag now, what about your son and grandson who is the emperor?"

Chai Shouli covered his face with his hands, his mood was very heavy, and he couldn't answer Liu Liancheng's question, so he could only smile back.

"Hey, hey."

"Just giggle, old man, have you ever figured out why your grandson, who was the emperor, got you into the slums of Kaifeng, and everything that could prove your identity is gone?"

"Hey, hey."

Chai Shouli is bitter in his heart, his son is dead, he died in Youzhou, which originally made him quite proud, my Chai Shouli's son is a man who stands up to the sky.

Then, he was inexplicably brought here, and when he and Liu Liancheng figured it out, they found out that this was actually Kaifeng, and it was the poorest and most bitter place in Kaifeng.

On the first day of their arrival, their neighbor, the enthusiastic sister-in-law Li, punished her children for not eating at night because of a bowl of egg soup.

Later, Chai Shouli also found out that even if Sister-in-law Li didn't punish them, they wouldn't have anything to eat at night.

Except for Liu Liancheng's occasional complaints, Chai Shouli kept his mouth shut and did not mention that he was the old uncle of the school inspector, the biological father of the late emperor Guo Rong, and the grandfather of the little emperor Guo Zongxun.

He felt that someone was tricking his grandson into doing it to him.

Zong Xun is still young, where does he understand this, it must be those auxiliary ministers in the court, who feel that he is in the way of Chai Shouli, and he doesn't want to let himself affect the Guo family's world, so he got himself here and became a pariah.

As long as my grandson can sit firmly on the throne of the Great Zhou, what does it matter if I die and have no place to bury.

It just so happened that Lao Tzu hurried to chase my short-lived son and ask him, why can he be ruthless, and he hasn't come to kowtow to my father for six years?

Every day in the slums, people die of disease, they die of hunger, mainly the elderly and children.

After being depressed for two days, Chai Shouli finally figured it out.

"Liancheng, you were implicated by the old man, you still have a great future, go, get out of here, go and dedicate the printing technology you invented to the court, and the court will definitely not treat you badly."

Liu Liancheng said with a smile:

"If I, Liu Liancheng, were the kind of person who coveted wealth and nobility, I wouldn't have lost all my property, ran away from debts and begged along the streets, old man, don't you think there are many things that can be done in this slum?"

Liu Liancheng shook the knife in his hand and arched Chai Shouli with his shoulder.

"Old man, you don't have anything of value on you?"

Chai Shouli touched the jade pendant in his arms, which was given to him by his sister, that is, the queen of Taizu Guo Wei, Chai Shi.

"If you have a fart, let it go, you kid want to open a printing house in the slums? Can the government agree? ”

"Old man, you haven't been beaten stupidly, sir, I just think so, as for whether the government can agree, how can I know if I don't try."

"The old man is probably inconvenient to come forward, if you can get the job of printing books from the government, the old man will take out the only jade pendant on his body to sponsor you to build a printing factory, I believe that the old man's old sister Quanxia knows, and she will not blame me."

"Okay, let's make a decision, leave the work to me, and don't be reluctant to give up your jade pendant when the time comes."
