Chapter 418: Promoting New Vegetables (Medium)
Speaking of the promotion of new vegetables, Yang Huairen has been thinking about it for a long time, but what he planned before was to pay all the promotion costs, if he could pull Zhao Xu in and use the power of the imperial court to promote, not only save time and effort, but also save him a lot of money.

"Back to Your Majesty, I think that when the original family teacher left me, he left more than a dozen plant seeds for Wechen, and instructed Wechen not only to live these dozen plant species, but also to benefit the world.
The teachings of the family teacher are always kept in mind by Wechen. I bought Zhuangzi last year to cultivate these novel crops and vegetables. ”
Zhao Xu affirmed Yang Huairen's approach, nodded and said, "Respect for teachers is commendable." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yang Huairen continued, "Since then, Wechen has opened up some scattered land on the barren slope of the mountain behind Zhuangzi in accordance with the method taught to Wechen by his teacher, built a vegetable greenhouse, and planted these vegetables. ”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he interrupted Yang Huairen again, "The vegetable greenhouse that Aiqing said, but the shed that can also grow fresh vegetables in the cold winter is rumored?" ”
"Exactly, I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers that last year Weichen was also involved, saying that Weichen used the good land to grow vegetables?"
Hearing that Yang Huairen deliberately brought up this matter to make a joke, Zhao Xu smiled, "Last year, it was just that some officials couldn't see that you were given the title of marquis at a young age, and they were just red-eyed, and they didn't pay attention to those transcripts. ”
Although they moan and say nothing about illness many times, this is just people's professional habits, and it has been like this for thousands of years, and it is understandable.
And Zhao Xu, who is the emperor, is not suitable to accuse the officials, if it is spread out and those officials hear this, they will definitely criticize the emperor again.
Empress Dowager Gao coughed lightly, interrupted Zhao Xu, and nodded to Yang Huairen, "Huanxian Hou, you continue to talk ......"
Yang Huairen looked at Empress Dowager Gao's face, put on a smile, and continued, "At the beginning, Weichen thought that just this little seed, it would be good to plant a few acres of land to bear fruit, and it was unrealistic to promote it.
But later, after the first sowing of the things that grew, Weichen tasted it and found that it was too delicious, so he expanded the planting, and only then did he have the second batch.
These more than a dozen kinds of vegetables and crops, Weichen did not have enough land to expand all the planting, so only selected a few of them to try first, I didn't expect the output this time to be so large, my family can't eat it, so I took it out and sold it. ”
"It's okay for you to open a restaurant as a marquis, and it's really unseemly to come out to sell vegetables." Empress Dowager Gao said with a smile.
The words sounded like resentment, but her tone did not mean to really blame, in fact, she was very interested in Yang Huairen's master and these novel crops and vegetables in her heart.
After Yang Huairen bought the Zhuangzi of the King of Nanyang County, she knew everything she did in the Zhuangzi, and of course she knew about building a greenhouse to grow vegetables, but before Yang Huairen sold these new vegetables at a high price, she just felt that since Yang Huairen was in the business of a restaurant, it was normal to grow some vegetables by herself, and she didn't think about anything else.
Later, she gradually learned about the peppers and tomatoes in these new vegetables, and slowly began to re-appreciate the value of these novelties.
If these things were really left to him by Yang Huairen's immortal master, then these vegetables could not be simply regarded as ordinary vegetables, these vegetables were so noble, if she could benefit from this matter, it would be of great help to her future plans.
Power can solve some problems, but it can't solve all problems, and some things need money to solve. Empress Dowager Gao now has power, but it is not a legitimate power, she needs to legitimize the power she holds now, and she needs a lot of money to pave the way.
To integrate all the forces for her use, power and wealth need to work together, so after she saw that Yang Huairen sold tens of thousands of catties of vegetables for more than 100,000 yuan, she moved her mind.
"But such a good vegetable, if it can be popularized, it will be beneficial to the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but this kind of thing is not something that you can do as a little marquis, it is better for you to be responsible for breeding and promotion, and leave it to the imperial court to do."
This was also Yang Huairen's plan, but when these words came out of the mouth of the Empress Dowager Gao, it always made people feel that something was not right, Yang Huairen hesitated, and before he could think about how to respond next, Zhao Hao stood up happily.
"What the queen mother said is that to promote these new crops and vegetables, naturally you can't let Huanxian Hou contribute money and efforts alone, so after Erchen heard about this, he felt that this matter was promising, so he took the initiative to ask Huanxian Hou to use Erchen's 10,000 acres of Huangzhuang to cultivate vegetables."
Empress Dowager Gao didn't like it, but she couldn't do anything about her, an upright son. Judging from his understanding of Yang Huairen and Zhao Hao, Yang Huairen is willing to take out the seeds for Zhao Hao to plant, there must be interests related here, and she can be sure that the money she will make in the future will not be her stupid son, but Yang Huairen.
Yang Huairen took Zhao Hao's words and continued, "Lord Jia understands righteousness and admires it. Weichen felt that the prince's idea was very good, the maturity period of these vegetables is very short, only four months, they can bloom and bear fruit, and in summer, the output of fairy fruits, fairy fruits and fairy melons is likely to be hundreds of times that of today.
At that time, except for a small part of the breeding, most of them can be put on the market, and at that time, it will not only meet the needs of Tokyo City, but also sell it to the whole of Daesong! ”
"Sold to the whole Song? Impossible, right? ”
Zhao Xu made an incredulous expression, "Uncle Huang and Brother Huangzhuang can plant more than 20,000 acres together, how can it be popularized to the whole Song Dynasty?" ”
Without waiting for Yang Huairen to explain to Zhao Xu that the output of these new vegetables was amazing, Zhao Hao proudly rushed to say, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the output of these fairy fruits, fairy beans and fairy melons is really amazing, and it is not difficult to sell them to the whole Great Song Dynasty." ”
"Oh? How many catties of these things can be produced per mu? ”
Zhao Xu didn't believe it very much, in his consciousness, an acre of good land, growing grain will yield three or four hundred catties per mu, he doesn't know much about growing vegetables, and he estimates that it will only produce seven or eight hundred catties of vegetables, and planting cabbage and radish may be a little more, and it will not exceed two thousand catties.
But in ancient times, the cultivation of grain and vegetables was relatively extensive, where was Yang Huairen so careful as the intensive cultivation brought from later generations? In addition to these crops and vegetables, they are all excellent varieties selected and selected by various optimal breeding under the development of biotechnology in later generations, and the yield is huge.
Zhao Hao had learned about their yield from the farmers who cultivated these vegetables in advance, and at this time he would definitely come out to show off, he stretched out five fingers, and said with a smile, "These vegetables, the yield per mu can reach 5,000 catties!" ”
