Section 576 New Methods of Cultivation

When he opened his eyes, Zhang Yue's eyes were full of green.

The wheat and corn that once dominated the space have now retreated to a corner, and the cultivation area is only a few dozen.

Zhang Yue kept them just to make a comparison, or to keep an insurance.

As for continuing to evolve and fortify these crops, there is little point in doing so.

Because, the farming technology and fertilizer source restrictions before the Western Yuan Dynasty made the yield per mu high, and there was a limit.

Even if it is a genetically modified wheat seed in later generations, in this era, I am afraid that the yield per mu will only be more than a dozen stones.

This is the limitation of the times that does not shift by human will.

It's easy to break through this limitation.

A large, modern chemical plant, a standard chemical production plant, and a tractor production plant, as well as related skilled workers and engineers, will do.

Just like Comrade Makarov faced the Varyag's hull, Zhang Yue now has the intention to kill the thief and has no power to return to the sky.

However, in the future, we can try to cultivate some rice in the space or develop the local crop of konjab in the direction of potatoes in the Americas.

Based on this, as early as a month ago, Zhang Yue had already rearranged the space.

At present, most of the space is occupied by cash crops such as cotton, eucommia, alfalfa, ramie, etc.

The key cultivation targets are cotton and eucommia.

Therefore, when Zhang Yue opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a large patch of cotton, thousands of plants, thriving, and cotton that had begun to enter the flowering stage.

This batch of cotton is empty for the second generation.

Compared to their parents, their plants have become larger and have longer, denser root systems.

It's just that the flower bells that bloom are still a little small.

This is also a matter of no way, the cotton of the Han family was imported from the Western Regions, and it is a typical Asian cotton.

Moreover, it is the kind of primitive Asian cotton, not only the lint is short, the fiber is small, the textile performance is poor, and the yield is also small.

In natural evolution, they are actually winners.

Because this way, they need less water and nutrients, and they need a more relaxed growing environment.

Unlike their cousins, American cotton, they are large drafters and have strict requirements for land, light, environment and temperature.

However, this kind of cotton is not needed by humans.

Humans need the kind of cotton that eats a lot, grows big, has long lint, and has a high yield.

After thinking about it slightly, Zhang Yue walked to the place where he stored Jinyu jade.

Because, with the recent bumper harvest, Jinyu jade fruits need something to store, so Zhang Yue also found a way to bring in a wooden box from the outside world and put it next to Jinyu wood to store jade fruits.

When I opened the box, I saw a variety of jade fruits of different colors.

Originally, Zhang Yue fed Jin Yumu with the "Dao Yuan" of the Huang Lao School, and what he got was a bright white jade fruit with a sense of warmth.

Then, he fed Jin Yumu with the books of the Dong scholars of the Ram School, and obtained a green and white, half warm and half cold jade fruit.

And now, when he fed a large number of texts and books from various schools of Confucianism, Legalism, and Huang Lao to these Jin Yu woods, he obtained various styles of jade fruits.

Some are as hot as fire, red all over, holding them in their hands as if they were holding a piece of burning steel, and some are cold to the bone, and their bodies are blue and white, and they are held as if they were holding a piece of cold ice.

It also looks like yellow and blue, tentacles, soft and comfortable, like a woman's skin.

After a long period of experiments, Zhang Yue also figured out some of the characteristics of these jades.

He could now almost understand that the color, appearance, and touch of these jade fruits were closely related to the schools and ideas to which the owners of the books belonged, as well as his own thoughts.

Generally speaking, most of the jade fruits obtained from the books of the Huang Lao school are bright white or cyan, and they have a sense of warmth to the touch.

And the Legalist people's books are all red, hot as magma, just like their personalities and opinions, as if they want to burn the world!

And the most peculiar is Confucianism.

Confucian calligraphy, after feeding, the jade fruit obtained, presents a variety of wonders.

Even, after some guys' books were fed to Jin Yumu, what they got was a jade fruit that belonged to the Huang Lao School and the Fa family.

What does this mean?

It speaks for itself.

This was really an eye-opener for Zhang Yue.

The chaos and disorder within Confucianism can be seen from this!

Just like the colors of these jade fruits that appeared in front of his eyes now, the five colors were mixed, and the sizes were different.

This illustrates a fact that was ignored by the Confucian scholars.

"The so-called Confucianism is actually a hodgepodge ......" Zhang Yue squatted down, grabbed a handful of jade fruits, played with them in his hand, and laughed.

He also almost understood why Confucianism could sit big.

Confucianism, which is scattered and contradictory, is the most reassuring for the ruling class.

If you change the Legalist family, from time to time there will be a merchant who shouts to change the law, or simply a powerful minister who wants to overthrow the emperor, who can stand it?

It's better to be Confucian.

Even Dong Zhongshu couldn't let the Ram School have only one voice.

The other schools are even more warlike.

Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, just the mouth cannon war can be fought for two thousand years, which emperor doesn't like it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue suddenly laughed at himself: "Why do you want to do so much? After all, the road depends on people! ”

Playing with these jade fruits in his hand, Zhang Yue suddenly thought of something.

"For a long time, I have been speculating that the jade fruits produced by Jin Yu Wood are of different colors and touches, and may contain secrets......" He looked up at the gray sky of the zenith, which was always shrouded in the unknown and unreal, "Then let me verify it!" ”

After so long, Zhang Yue has almost figured out the difference between the color and touch of the jade fruit produced by Jin Yu wood.

These jade fruits are the condensation of the ideas and thoughts of the owner of the book.

It may resemble a product of a spiritual plane.

Its color represents its claim, while the touch indicates a tendency.

In general, all jade fruits are divided into five colors: green, white, red, black, and gold.

It is just in contrast to the five emperors, five virtues, and five elements that the Han family generally believes in today.

Its touch is divided into three types: warm, cold, and hot.

It just corresponds to the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

What if it's a coincidence? I don't believe it when I kill Zhang Yue!

So, he lowered his head, rummaged through the box, and found five jade fruits with relatively pure colors and relatively consistent touch.

There is no way, in this world, people's hearts are not ancient, pure thoughts and pure ideas have long ceased to exist.

Even the priests and warlocks pretended to be gods and ghosts, and they had to mix the Yin and Yang Family, the Star Family, and the Divination Family.

As for doctrinal thoughts?

I'm sorry!

Even the Legalists who look thick-eyed and big-eyed will inevitably learn the ideas of Confucianism, and even more people have begun to use Confucian ideas to interpret Legalist policies.

Among the various schools of Confucianism, even the Lu Confucian line, which claims to be the most orthodox, the most Confucius, and the most Confucian, has quietly mixed in a large number of Yin-Yang and Legalist discussions.

Therefore, Zhang Yue can only find relatively pure jade fruits.

The purest one looks like it, and its body is also mottled with other colors.

But don't worry, this space doesn't look like a picky eater.

Holding the five jade fruits, Zhang Yue walked to a nearby Eucommia tree seedling, and then carefully buried them around its roots.

In the next moment, a light appeared in front of Zhang Yue's eyes!

It seems to be the first light created by the Creator when he created the world in mythology.

It's like the light that flashed through the whole world during the Big Bang.

It brings hope, it brings life, it creates miracles.

"That's right!" Zhang Yue looked at the world in front of him and muttered to himself.

Countless three-dimensional images appeared in the light, and there were countless of them.

Each diagram represents an evolutionary direction.

The direction of development that this eucommia tree at its feet may choose in evolution.

In fact, according to later scientific research, biologists have long discovered it.

There are countless possibilities in life.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, this sentence is not necessarily true.

Because, when the environment changes, life evolves with it.

Moreover, any successful species contains countless genetic fragments.

Functions that their ancestors once had, but were abandoned due to environmental changes or survival needs, have always been hidden in every species.

At the right time, life will unlock genes from ancient ancestors, or actively mutate its own genes to adapt to the environment and survive.

And this mysterious space has the power to automatically unlock these evolutionary paths under special conditions!

Zhang Yue looked at these three-dimensional images in front of him and took a deep breath.

It's a miracle!

He looked at the three-dimensional images in front of him, and quickly browsed them, and the different evolutionary directions flashed in front of his eyes.

Eucommia!

Angiosperm phylum, Dicotyledonous class witch hazel subclass, Eucommia ulmoides Eucommia ulmoides.

It is endemic to China, and like the giant panda and the golden snub-nosed monkey, it has been thriving in Zhuxia since ancient times.

It is a miraculous tree given by God to the Zhuxia people.

Eucommia is a medicinal herb and a natural source of rubber.

However, Eucommia ulmoides rubber and South American rubber have completely different molecular structures, so the yield and extraction method are different from those of rubber trees.

And now, thousands or even tens of thousands of different evolutionary routes of the Eucommia ulmoides tree have been revealed in front of Zhang Yue's eyes.

Pity......

Ninety-nine percent of it is not needed by Zhang Yue, not even the species of Eucommia.

Because, those are the degraded paths of failure.

There are those that shrink in size and grow faster, and there are those that degenerate into conifers in exchange for surviving in arid environments.

There are also rapid reproduction types.

And in the remaining one percent, there are also a large number of images that Zhang Yue cannot see.

How do you say that?

It's that they exist there, but maybe because certain conditions aren't met, or maybe they can't evolve all at once.

In short, they exist, but they only exist.

It can't be evolved now.

And what can be seen by Zhang Yue is only thirty or fifty pairs.

Relying on the powerful memory given by space, Zhang Yue memorized all these thirty or fifty pairs, and then closed his eyes and retraced their images in his heart.

"This won't work......" Zhang Yue first denied one.

This three-dimensional image shows a new evolutionary direction, living longer, growing taller, with larger leaves and deeper roots.

"This one won't do either......" another one was denied.

This evolutionary direction is towards aquatic plants......

Finally, Zhang Yue opened his eyes: "This is what I want!" ”

Gum secretes more, at least about a tenth more than before.

Although, it's not as good as a rubber tree, but it's enough!

Because Zhang Yue knew that clicking on this evolutionary route, the descendants of this eucommia tree would have new options.

Eventually, it may evolve into a high-yielding gum tree native to Zhuxia.

So, Zhang Yue found the three-dimensional image and determined it with his mind.

Instantly, all images vanished, and the mysterious light burrowed into the body of the eucommia seedling.

The next moment, the seedling grew suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, it spanned several years of growth, growing to almost a person's height, and even grew branches and young leaves.

The bark is coarser and fuller.

Looking at this situation, Zhang Yue was both happy and a little sighing.

It takes 20 years for a Eucommia ulmoides tree to produce gum from growth to maturity in nature.

Although space can accelerate its growth, it also requires time and resources (Yuguo) after all.

More importantly, it is important to open the evolutionary tree and find the corresponding evolutionary direction.

You need five different jade fruits.

Zhang Yue felt that if he was to eventually cultivate a Eucommia ulmoides tree that could rival the South American rubber tree in terms of yield and quality, he would need to repeat the evolution twenty or more times.

After all, the evolution of living things is more difficult the further back you go.

Every evolution of a species, from the beginning to the end, has to go through millions or even tens of millions of years of evolution in nature.

In other words, if Zhang Yue wants to have enough resources to maintain his own cultivation path.

He had to ......

Turn back the wheel of history and let the hundreds of schools of thought reappear!

"It's not easy to do...... Zhang Yue muttered in his heart.

Now, although Confucianism does not really mind the existence of Legalism and the Huang Lao School, it can even tolerate their activities.

But......

Confucianism certainly doesn't want to see the dead enemy Mojia resurrect the soul.

If the people of the Mo family reappear in the world, or even swagger through the market, Zhang Yue dares to guarantee that the Confucian scholars will definitely rush up and tear them up!

It's not just because of faith, it's because of profit.

Confucian scholars were scholars and spokesmen for the interests of the landlords and nobles.

And the Mo family is very unfortunate that they are the spokesperson of the people at the bottom.

The two are almost the same and incompatible!

Even the most tolerant and tolerant Confucian scholars would not have any good feelings towards the Mo family.

"However, I can't do ......it," Zhang Yue held his cheeks and laughed.

Directly, it is certainly impossible to succeed.

But......

What about peaceful evolution?

For example, the ideas and ideas of the Mohists are packaged into a faction of Confucianism.

Or, simply let the people of the Mo family wear Confucian robes and say that they are Confucian students.

In this way, the contradiction has changed from a class contradiction to a contradiction among the people.
