When Tong Guan was shaking, a little eunuch stepped forward to help him.

Zong Shu's mouth doesn't know how to grow, and when he says it, no one can stand it.

He also solemnly reminded everyone not to mention the word "cut" in the future, so as not to hurt Tong Guan and these eunuchs.

This fake comfort is clearly pouring salt on Tong Guan's wounds.

Although Tong Guan has long been a rootless person and his wounds have long been healed, Zong Shu's salt was sprinkled directly on the tip of Tong Guan's heart.

But there's something wrong with this guy's words!

He said that except for Tong Guan and these eunuchs, other people, including Huizong, could be cut.

This doesn't mean that the emperor can be cut and become a eunuch!

Huizong was on the rise, and he didn't hear the problem in Zong Shu's words for a while, and others found out and didn't dare to bring it up.

Huizong walked to the edge of the rice field and picked up a sickle, and Zong Shu waved the sickle and set a demonstration for Huizong.

Zhao Kai, Zhao Gou and the ministers all took sickles and cut them around three acres of land.

At first, everyone cut it down, and they didn't tie it up, but they just cut it, and the peasant family recruited from the south picked up the mess for the ministers in the back.

Because they are not familiar with harvesting rice, some people directly step the ears of rice into the mud.

Although the princes and ministers did not work well, there were many people, and after a while, the rice was cut.

The people stood on the stalks of the fields and watched the peasants threshing the rice.

A small boat was pushed into the middle of the rice paddies and covered with a layer of linen.

The farmer took a bundle of rice and threw it "thump" in the boat, and the grain came out of the ears and fell into the bottom of the boat.

Someone had already brought a measuring tool and a scale.

Finally, after threshing the grain, the farmers put in the measuring tools and put them on the scales one by one.

Chen Yang was in charge of recording, and finally reported the yield per mu with a trembling voice: No. 1 rice experimental field in Mi County, rice per mu, four ...... Hundred...... Catty!

Oh my God, this mu yield actually reached 400 catties!

That's a record high!

You must know that in the south, the yield per mu is only 350 catties, and this time it broke through the 400 catties mark.

You must know that the people who harvested the rice just now are all a bunch of new hands, hairy hands, and there are many people, and there are a lot of wastes in the field!

In other words, the yield of 400 catties per mu is not much to say.

Although Chen Yang had a rough estimate of the yield per mu, he did not expect that the yield per mu would exceed that much in the south.

On the one hand, it has to do with the quality of the soil, with his intensive cultivation, and with the abundance of fertilizer here.

Hou Yuangong, the head of the household, was busy explaining to Huizong how difficult it was to introduce this historical record.

Huizong was very happy to hear it, and the matter was settled like this?

Chen Yang introduced to Huizong the characteristics of this rice, which has a short growing period and is drought tolerant.

A bumper harvest was obtained in Mi County, where this rice can be grown in most places in the north.

According to the estimation of Hou Yuangong, the head of the household department, in other areas of the north, if the dry land is changed to water and drought land, even if the technology is not as good as Chen Yang's, the yield per mu will not be lower than that in the south.

"In this way, the north of the Yangtze River to the Yellow River basin will become a major rice-producing area like Suhu Lake?"

When Huizong spoke, his lips trembled.

Think about it, how big a place in the north is, if rice and wheat are rotated, oh my God, after the Great Song Dynasty, there will be no worries about food at all!

The food of the Great Song Dynasty was sufficient, and even the war had enough confidence.

Didn't you say it, the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

The Liao people and Jin people made mistakes from time to time, and came to the Great Song Dynasty to rob, didn't they rob grain?

When the food in the Great Song Dynasty is sufficient, don't you send them some, won't you use it to rob them?

Isn't this a war that doesn't have to be fought?

The problem that the ancestors have always wanted to solve but failed to solve is in their own hands, and it has been solved!

The more Huizong thinks about it, the more far-reaching it becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the happier he is!

How does happiness come about?

Huizong raised his eyes and saw that cynical, hippie smiling face, it was Zong Shu.

At that time, he said that he would move rice from the south to the north and plant rice on an experimental basis in Mi County.

Everyone thought it was a joke, but they didn't expect it to be done.

"Zong Shu, what is the cost of your rice?"

Cai Jing thought of a fundamental and critical question.

If the cost of this rice is extremely high, there is little value in promoting it in the north.

Without Zong Shu answering, Chen Yang took the initiative to say: "This lord, the cost of this rice is almost the same as that in the Jiangnan region. ”

Cai Jing immediately suspected that the reason why Zong Shu didn't want everyone to come to Mixian to see it was because he wanted to grow more, stock it up, and sell it at a high price when there was a food shortage next year.

Many ministers pondered, and Cai Jing was completely reasonable.

Zong Shu is really good at making money, and now he is the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, and every time he does something, he can make money.

He grows rice, naturally, to make money.

The cost of rice is about the same as that of Jiangnan, and he has no cost advantage, so he can only hoard Juqi.

Zong Shu listened to everyone's discussion with a smile, but Chen Yang's face turned red, and he was upset for Zong Shu:

"This lord, my lords, don't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! When I was recruited here by the grandmaster, he told me that if the rice cultivation in Mi County was successful, he would immediately push it to the entire Yellow River valley and benefit the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"My Grandmaster's realm, how can it be compared to you?"

Chen Yang's words made everyone silent for a while.

Haha, Zong Shu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Chen Yang is usually a stuffy gourd, but he didn't expect to have such a high evaluation of himself!

Chen Yang used to call him the young master of the sect, but today he took the initiative to call him "grandmaster".

After the data of 400 catties of rice per mu came out, Chen Yang was shocked, he didn't think it was entirely his credit.

The biggest credit here is Zong Shu!

If it weren't for Zong Shu's insistence on planting rice in the north and providing all conveniences, it would not have been possible to have today's historical record of yield per mu.

Zong Shu explained at the time that everything depends on the sun to grow, and as long as there is the right temperature, sunlight and moisture, rice can survive even in the sea.

During the seedling breeding period, Zong Shu asked the glass factory to produce special glass for him, and built it piece by piece to ensure the temperature inside.

The seedlings bred in this environment have a controllable temperature, and the quality is better than that of the seedlings raised in the south.

As long as the seedlings are successfully raised, there is a greater chance of a bumper harvest of rice.

Next, Zong Shu brought him a kind of fertilizer, called phosphate fertilizer, which was pulled from the match factory, which was made by mixing phosphate ore tailings with night incense and plant ash.

Before planting the seedlings, Zong Shu said that the phosphate fertilizer should be sprinkled into the field as the base material for the rice field.

Zong Shu explained that phosphorus is needed for rice at the tillering stage, grain filling stage, and fruiting stage.

It is better to apply phosphate fertilizer at an early stage, because phosphorus is highly mobile in the rice body, and the phosphoric acid absorbed in the early stage is stored in the rice body and can be transferred and reused in the later stage.

At the same time, the soil has a strong ability to retain and store phosphate fertilizer, which is not easy to leach, and the effect of early application of phosphate fertilizer is still better than that of later application.

Chen Yang was unimpressed at first, and the rice fields he planted in the south were only used for manure and other fertilizers.

Later, he learned that Zong Shu and Lin Lingsu extracted phosphorus from night incense, which could be used as matches.

Only then did he understand that the reason for daring was not the fertility of human feces, but the presence of phosphorus.

It wasn't until today that the yield per mu of 400 catties was reported, and Chen Yang felt that Zongshu's phosphate fertilizer was the key to breaking the record yield per mu this time.

Only Zong Shu's phosphate fertilizer is the only difference from the rice he planted before.

In the next step, Chen Yang decided to do another comparative experiment to see what the yield per mu is without phosphate fertilizer.

Cai Jing couldn't help but sneer, and was scolded by a farmer!

And was scolded speechless.

It turned out that when Zong Shu was moving south rice to the north, he planned to promote it, rather than planting it himself and then hoarding it.

When did Zong Shu think so much about the court?

Looking at Zhao Huan's face full of joy again, Cai Jing and the ministers understood that the main reason why Zong Shu didn't want to make money was that he wanted to give the prince a big gift package!
