Chapter 284: This is a Shennong

The king's mother was not hungry, nor was she one of those women who didn't know anything.

She was able to rely on a sentence brought back by others, worried that it would affect her son, and resolutely decided to remarry, still so quickly.

This dooms her to not be an ordinary woman, at least someone who has some opinions of her own.

"Mother is also very good now, he is not bad to his mother, he also gave birth to a child last year, he is very good at farming, other people's land is planted once a year, in his hands can be planted twice a year, your sister also got married last year, not far from home, people are also very filial and diligent, besides, the mother is now dragging the family with the mouth, staying here with you is not like words, this kind of day is not comfortable for the mother, it is better to be in the village......" The queen mother expressed her meaning exactly, and from time to time she looked at whether she was hungry.

In this world, a man is the head of the family.

Wang Bu is hungry and his father is gone, as the eldest son, Wang Bu is the head of the family.

Although the queen mother is an elder, she still has to listen to the king's words when it comes to major matters.

Even if Wang Bu is hungry and says no word now, saying that they are not suitable, the queen mother will be separated from each other and move to Luoyang to live.

In terms of etiquette, the king may be condemned for not being hungry or unfilial, but as long as the king is not hungry and can come up with a convincing enough reason, no one can condemn him.

Respect for elders, especially for female elders, is actually private respect.

Before making a decision, you have to ask and then discuss, no matter what you say and do internally, but this decision, when it is announced to the public, must be made by a man.

This is the etiquette, the current rule.

Of course, Wang Buyu heard the meaning of pleading from the old lady's voice, and of course he would not be this wicked person.

"As long as the mother is willing, she can do it anywhere, the important thing is that the son knows where you are and knows whether you are doing well." Wang Bu said with a smile.

In his memory, this old lady was quite knowledgeable, and now when he sees it, it is indeed so.

This choice may not be the best, but it is definitely better than letting her live in the palace.

Otherwise, as the queen mother, she is surrounded by this legally legal husband, but she is not her own father's man, what should she do?

Ordinary people don't care, can the emperor's family tolerate this kind of thing?

"Son, my mother has one more thing to tell you......" Seeing that Wang Bu was hungry and agreed, the queen mother finally showed a smile on her face.

"Mother, you say!" Wang Bu nodded without hunger.

"Can you not tell people about our relationship? It's better to let the outside think that my mother is dead? ”

"Mother, what's the trouble?" Wang Bu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

He probably knew his mother's intentions, and although he knew that this was the best outcome, he still had an indescribable feeling.

"We're just an ordinary ......"

After some debate, Wang Bu was still not hungry and could not persuade his wife, and even told Hu Hai that he had killed all his brothers and sisters.

No matter how hypocritical Wang is not hungry, he has to agree at this time.

Because in the future, if this kind of thing really happens to himself, then it must be the mother and this man's child who will be killed.

There was another happy conversation between mother and son.

Wang Bu was not hungry, so he set his eyes on his 'stepfather'.

In fact, I have noticed him for a long time, but I have never had a chance.

As for the word "father", Wang is not hungry and will definitely not call it, this is a matter of principle.

"Listen to my mother, can you have two kinds of land a year?" Wang Bu asked if he was not hungry.

"Can ......" Yang Yumu nodded, until now he has not come back to his senses, this news is really shocking.

It's also fortunate that I've always been good to his mother, otherwise......

Of course, although the person who is talking to him nominally is his 'son', in reality, Yang Yu does not dare to treat him as his own son.

So in a hurry, he said in a little panic: "I found that I can plant after the autumn harvest, and I can harvest it in the summer, and I can harvest it in the summer, and harvest it in the autumn, and if I plant it in a row, the yield of the next year will not affect it too much, and I don't need to fallow it from time to time, although I am tired, but I harvest twice a year, and the family can also save a lot of surplus grain." ”

Wang Buxing was suddenly stunned, feeling a little surprised.

Although I have formulated a plan to encourage population development, there is a premise for population development.

There was a big explosion in food production.

What was the situation during the population explosion period in China in history?

The evolution of agricultural tools is only an inevitable factor, but no matter how the agricultural tools evolve, from more than 20 million people in the Qin Dynasty to 60 million in the Han Dynasty, in the next two thousand years, until the early Qing Dynasty, the population of China was only 100 million.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the population had reached 400 million.

The reason for the concentrated outbreak of the Chinese population in the Qing Dynasty was the entry of three crops, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, which led to a sharp increase in grain production.

In the past, it was not that they could not give birth, but that they could not afford to give birth, and the premature mortality rate has always been the biggest factor limiting the development of the population in ancient times.

In addition to various diseases, food is also a huge problem.

Food is scarce, and can not be full every day, over time, the resistance of young children decreases, and the chance of infection increases.

This is the result of a series of reasons.

Of course, wheat has not been popularized because the hulling technology cannot keep up, and it is difficult for people to digest it.

The word in Yang Yu's mouth is wheat, wheat now refers to barley, and soybean refers to beans.

Wang Buxing didn't expect that Yang Yu would be able to know the rotation mode.

"How's the yield?" Wang Bu asked if he was not hungry.

"The yield can be up and down two stones, if there is no shortage of water, it should be higher, and the yield of soybean is higher, about seven or eight stones, but I found that before I planted like lai or millet, the yield was not high, spread out and planted, fewer seeds were used, and the yield was higher, I think it should be higher." Yang Yu said.

"Good!" Wang Buxing suddenly smiled, but he didn't expect the old lady to find a 'Shennong' for herself.

Even though Wang Bu is hungry and knows the crop rotation pattern, he also knows that planting beans can speed up the recovery of soil fertility.

But there are reasons why this model was not promoted during this period, one of which is that wheat is not easy to digest and has no yield advantage.

The second is that soybeans are not delicious, in other words, before the advent of tofu, the scale of soybean cultivation in China was not large, although he had a high yield, but it was only planted in small quantities and eaten as supplementary food.

But......

Soybeans, especially black soybeans, another variety of soybeans, are the best feed for war horses.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, folk breeding of war horses was promoted, but in the end there were not many of them, one of the important reasons was the problem of feed, and the other reason was environmental problems.

If you want to raise high-quality war horses, you must raise horses in alpine regions.

In the Central Plains now, the environment is similar to that of Jiangnan in later generations, and people are comfortable here, not to mention the war horses used for war.

"Lone will issue a decree and Lun's order, so that it will cooperate with you in the Lun's official field test, in the summer, directly plant soybean, plant after the autumn harvest, how to plant, you decide, if the yield can reach the number you say, Lone will make you a marquis!"
