After half a month of excitement, the enthusiasm for the opening of the commercial plaza began to fade slowly, but tens of thousands of people still flocked to the commercial plaza every day to play and shop.

Although the discount activity is over, but this novel way of shopping has gradually become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Liu Bang is also under the instruction of Chen Xu to carry out activities every three or five times, such as discount coupons or deduction coupons in the whole shopping mall, and even a lottery every day, where customers who shop more than 100 yuan can participate in a lottery by virtue of the shopping receipts issued by the shopping mall on the same day, and the rewards are also varied, there are cash coupons for the whole site, and there are strange small gifts, so as to attract the interest of customers and increase the return rate.

In short, after the opening of this commercial plaza, Chen Xu has copied all the commercial methods of shopping mall promotion that he can think of in later generations.

Although Daqin is poor, but Xianyang is not elsewhere, here the princes and princes are rich and businessmen hundreds of thousands, and the ordinary people are not poor rural civilians, even the hundred disciples who are mixed in Xianyang now have their own jobs, with the boom of commerce, a large number of scribes who can write and calculate have been hired by businessmen to be masters or staff, and just newspapers, academies of literature, academies and other institutions have recruited tens of thousands of people, these people have a lot of income every month, with the support of these high-income people, Xianyang's business atmosphere will naturally become more and more prosperous.

Chen Xu has crossed over to the seventh year.

In the past seven years, the changes in Xianyang and Daqin can only be described as dazzling, Daqin's grain production has increased more than three times, and the output of steel and cement has become the biggest driving force to support Daqin's infrastructure and industrial development from scratch, and various studies of the Academy of Sciences have also reached the time period for commercial applications, especially the emergence of bearings, the laying of cement roads, and the great development of logistics, and the successful development of gears, simple industrial machines are about to lead to a blowout period.

At the same time as industry and commerce flourished, culture also flourished, newspapers and bookstores compiled and published various subsets of scriptures and histories throughout the country, some county universities and middle schools were established, the scholar class also began to integrate into this trend, calm down to study knowledge, and some folk tales and poems began to be published and distributed.

And after a round of hard crackdown, the civil turmoil has also completely calmed down, under the suppression of the military and police in the townships and towns of various counties, in the past, those idle men and hooligans who had nothing to do and fought and brawls also honestly began to plough and farm, and did not dare to have the slightest stumbling and dissatisfaction, because now the whole country is building roads, under the promotion of Chen Xu, the conscription is also a large number of reductions, in addition to the military activities and national construction that are indispensable to recruit people and soldiers, a large number of infrastructure are business models, the state invests money in bidding, and businessmen take orders, The cheapest and best way is to recruit prisoners from various counties and counties, and only need to provide rations, because prisoners belong to labor reform, no need to pay wages, good performance can be commuted, bad performance can only be starved and beaten, for these prisoners up to the emperor down to the common people will not have a good face.

Therefore, in the past, those knights who jumped up and down on the folk and did not obey the king's law were the most miserable group, and they used to carry swords all day long, and now they are all like grandsons on the construction site to carry water and stones to build roads and mix concrete, most of them have tattoos on their faces, and they can't run if they want to, once they escape and are caught, they must be sent to Lishan to repair the mausoleum for the emperor, and they will be repaired until they die.

Although Chen Xu himself also likes martial arts, and once had a martial arts dream of eliminating violence and helping the weak, but now he has become an exploiting class, and these chivalrous warriors are naturally a thorn in his side.

In order to renew the life of Daqin, these green forest heroes and swordsmen had better honestly pick up hoes and become farmers to accept labor reform, and become a new force in the construction of Daqin.

Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, Chen Xu feels that what the Legalists said is not wrong at all, a stable society does not need heroes and heroes, and hooligans do not need it.

Even if there are still many powerful officials in Daqin who oppress the civilians, and unjust, false and wrongful cases are endless, but the stability and unity of Daqin cannot be challenged, and the small self obeys the big self, which is an indispensable pain for the stable development of Great Qin, and in any era, there is no absolute fairness and absolute justice.

Whatever is in the interests of the ruling class is the best.

In the process of compromising with the nobles of Great Qin, the various reforms promoted by Chen Xu are also constantly driving the development of people's livelihood at the bottom.

Any reform and development is a political product of constant compromise.

If you can't compromise, it's going to be a fight to the death.

Li Si's old legalist finally didn't survive Chen Xu, the young junior, and after hanging up, it has now reached the point where Chen Xu almost single-handedly covers the sky in the court.

And after Chen Xu was ambushed, the emperor also changed his previous hesitation and began to vigorously support Chen Xu's reform, because he could not afford to lose the protection of the disciples of the Immortal Family.

The glass greenhouse has been built for more than a month, and all kinds of vegetable seedlings and melon seedlings in it are growing gratifyingly.

The sunlight shines through the hundreds of glass windows on the top, the whole greenhouse is not only warm as spring, but also full of sunshine, coriander onion seedlings, carrots and even some other vegetables are green and vibrant, eggplant seedlings have risen to nearly three feet high, purple buds have begun to appear between the branches and leaves, and the cucumber vines that climb all over the vine trellis have also begun to be delicate thorns, and flower buds have begun to appear at the top, watermelon cantaloupe is crawling on the ground, the thick stalks are full of burrs, and the wide leaves also hide the tender yellow that is about to bud.

The various flowers and plants planted on the edge of the greenhouse, such as Xing'er Yu Ji and Meng Wan, are also lush and green, and the moon season and roses have also sprouted colorful buds.

In this cold winter season when everything is withering and withering, this peculiar scenery full of emerald green in the greenhouse has almost become a sensation in Xianyang, causing discussion and excitement no less than the opening of Keju Commercial Plaza.

The Daqin Metropolis Daily has published several pages in the headlines about the strange landscape of the glass greenhouse, and has been hailed by agronomists as the greatest agricultural innovation of all time.

A group of professors and students of the College of Agriculture have been immersed in the greenhouse almost all day long to observe and record, although the phenomenon in the greenhouse is seen every day, but every time the straw curtain is lifted into the greenhouse, everyone is still as surprised and excited as the first time, full of admiration for the Marquis of Qinghe.

Chen Xu also has to go to the greenhouse every day to observe, and Xing'er Yu Ji sometimes takes a group of classmates to the greenhouse after school to watch the flowers and plants they planted, the water is gentle, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan is the same, every day to run into the greenhouse, watching the growth of vegetables and fruits has become the most interesting thing for the family in this winter.

"Husband, come on, how many flowers have bloomed today?"

On this day, Chen Xu went home, and just walked into the greenhouse, the water greeted him with a smile on his face, and his beautiful cheeks were full of excitement and excitement.

"Where, let me see!" Chen Xu was also very happy.

"Husband come with me!" Shui gently took Chen Xu's hand and came to the front of a cucumber stand, and sure enough, between the emerald green leaves and the tendrils stretched vines, the tips of several crisp and tender cucumber lids had bloomed yellow flowers, which looked extremely fresh and pleasing to the eye.

"Haha, it's good~" Chen Xu smiled from ear to ear, and after a careful observation, he said to an agricultural college student who was also excited standing next to him, "Go and help me find a brand new brush!" ”

"What do you want a brush for? Do you want to draw this flower? Shui looked at Chen Xu with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"No, no, only a lady is the most proficient in painting, I want to pollinate these flowers!" Chen Xu smiled and shook his head.

"Master Hou, what is pollination?" A gray-haired professor at the College of Agriculture couldn't help but speak.

"The avenue is divided into yin and yang, all flowering plants need to be pollinated to produce seeds, all creatures in the world are divided into male and female like humans, and the flowers of this plant are the same, some flowers are male flowers, some flowers are female flowers, and only through mating can they produce offspring!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

The professor and several students looked at each other.

"Master Hou, if the flowers are also male and female, and they need to mate to reproduce, then why have you never seen two flowers hugging each other...... That...... What's ......," one student asked, blushing.

Chen Xu: ......

"Husband is playing around again!" The cheeks of the water's soft and beautiful cheeks were flushed, and her voice was slightly shy.

"I'm not joking, is that true?" Chen Xu pointed to the flowers helplessly, "This melon fruit blooms and bears fruit, but if there is no male and female pollinating each other, then there will be no seeds in the melon fruit even if it grows up, and there will be no seeds after maturity. And most flowering plants also use nectar to attract bees and butterflies for pollination, otherwise these plants and flowers will not hug each other without hands or feet, but they can give birth to seeds that reproduce! ”

"That'...... The rice millet and other grains and flowers are small, and there are no bees and butterflies collecting honey, why can they also grow seeds? The professor expressed serious doubts about Chen Xu's words.

"Pollination does not only rely on bee butterflies, bee butterfly pollination is for insect vectors, just like matchmakers match men and women, but the world is big, there are many creatures, pollination methods are naturally strange, corn rice these grains use the wind, with the wind as the medium, the wind blows the flowers, and the pollen in the flowers will be scattered on the female flowers with the wind, and it is natural to complete the combination of yin and yang!"

"I see, but now there are no bees and butterflies in the cold winter, and there is no wind in this greenhouse...... Ah, I know, Master Hou is going to use a brush to imitate bees and butterflies to spread pollen to these flowers! A student suddenly realized as he spoke.

"However, using a brush to imitate bee butterflies and using artificial pollination to spread pollen to these flowers has the same effect!" Chen Xu nodded.

"But Master Hou, how do you know which are male flowers and which are female flowers, and if you get the pollen of two male flowers together, is it ...... Can it also produce seeds? ”

Chen Xu rolled his eyes at the student who spoke: "Have you ever seen a Ji Ji who can give birth to cubs?" ”

"Master Hou, what is the foundation?" A group of students all looked at Chen Xu with an open and studious look on their faces.

"Engaging in the foundation is the wild union of two men, at most it is just a little cool for each other, how can this kind of thing that goes against the nature of heaven give birth to offspring!"

"Husband, I'll go find you a brush!" Shui Qingrou finally couldn't stand the conversation between Chen Xu and a group of students, and ran out of the greenhouse with her cheeks flushed.

A group of students and teachers also quickly stopped this reverie-inducing topic.

"Flowers rely on insect vectors and wind vectors to spread pollen to each other, which is the best evidence of natural harmony, everything in the world is not independent, all need to have an environment for survival and reproduction, this greenhouse rebels against the season, artificially creates a warm and humid environment, so that plants think that it should be the season of spring flowers, but there are no bees and butterflies in the greenhouse, naturally can not pollinate, so it needs to be pollinated manually, pollination is actually very simple, is to use a brush on the stamens of the flowers to gently brush each other a few times, so that the pollination is completed...... You see, there is a slightly thick center in the center of this flower, this is the flower column, the flower column is the main organ of pollination, called the pistil, and there are some small filaments around, the top of the filament is pollen, these are called stamens, most of the flowers of plants are hermaphroditic, with the flower medium can pollinate themselves, but there are many plants whose flowers are dioecious or even dioecious, if you look closely, you should be able to find that some flowers do not produce fruits, And some trees, even if they are full of flowers, will eventually wither and fail to bear fruit......"

Taking advantage of the free time to find a brush, Chen Xu roughly explained the structure of flowers and the principle of pollination to the teachers and students of the College of Agriculture.

"As an agricultural college, your main task is to study fruits, vegetables, vegetables and food crops, only careful observation, in order to understand the living habits of various plants, previously learned cuttings, grafting and other principles, and this pollination is also an extremely important means of improving crops, such as pollination of the same variety, pollination between different varieties, so that you can study the different consequences, such as millet rice, some stalks are thick and resistant to lodging, some are not thick but can resist pests, and some are not afraid of saline drought, Even overgrown weeds can grow well, and when we pollinate these plants with different characteristics, it is possible to improve a variety that is resistant to both lodging and insect pests......"

A group of teachers and students listened with serious faces.

Every time you follow Hou Ye, you can always learn a lot of new knowledge that sounds unbelievable and novel, but this knowledge is realistic and operable.

"Husband, I've got the brush!" More than ten minutes later, the students who went to look for the brushes had not returned, and Shui gently brought two brand-new brushes.

"Let's take a look at the process of artificial pollination...... Chen Xu smiled and picked up a brush, gently brushed back and forth on the stamen a few times before announcing the completion, "Isn't it simple?" ”

"It's really easy!" A group of students and faculty members nodded their heads one after another.

"Try it gently, too!" Chen Xu got out of the way, Shui gently took the brush and chose a flower, brushed it back and forth very carefully and gently, and then turned his head to look at Chen Xu: "Husband, is it like this?" ”

"Yes, that's it, everyone remember, the action must be gentle, can not damage the flower column, otherwise the flower will be wasted, now these melons and fruits in the greenhouse have sprouted buds, the next few days will inevitably bloom one after another, so you must seize the time to pollinate, otherwise the flowers will wither and miss the opportunity, and also, to carefully record these pollination processes, when the time comes back to the college to do a detailed explanation......"

"I'll keep in mind Master Hou's orders!" A group of teachers and students hurriedly surrendered together.

When Xing'er Yu Ji returned from school in the evening, after hearing about it, everyone also found a brand new brush and ran to the greenhouse, and brushed the cucumber flowers that had bloomed next to each other, and when Chen Xu entered the greenhouse again, he found that the first few flowers in full bloom had almost been brushed into salted vegetables, and the petals were broken and the filaments and stamens were already in a mess, so he called Xing'er and Yu Ji over and criticized them fiercely, and then let them only go to trouble those roses and moons in the future.

These melons, fruits and vegetables that were finally brought back from the Western Regions thousands of miles away are treasures in Chen Xu's eyes, and it will be distressing to kill any of them. ()
