Chapter 74: Arrival in Tibet
Upon hearing this, Songtsen Gampo smiled and said, "Haha, good, good, Qin envoy has to tell me about it." ”
"Yes, Sovereign Songtsam." Qin Shaochu nodded.
Soon, some maids brought fruits and food, and Songtsan looked at it and said, "Qin envoy, you must be hungry on the road, please hurry." ”
Qin Shaochu smiled slightly, "Okay, Sovereign Songzan." ”
Half an hour later, after a few people had eaten, Songtsan took Qin Shaochu to check around in Tubo.
On the way, Songtsan asked: "Qin envoy, look at our tribe, although we have grown a lot of food, but the harvest is a little small." ”
Qin Shaochu nodded, and then said: "Monarch Songtsam, you are in the plateau area at this time, and it is still cold, so the food you grow is so small. ”
Songtsen Gampo nodded, "Then I don't know, what can the Qin envoy do?" ”
Qin Shaochu thought for a while, and then said, "I can't help it about the weather, but Sovereign Songtsam, you can plant it, barley." ”
"Barley?" Songtsan asked suspiciously.
"Yes, it's barley. Barley, also known as Yuanmai, rice barley," Qin Shaochu explained
"Then you can also grow wheat and rice down the hill."
After listening to Qin Shaochu's words, Songtsen Gampo nodded, "Okay, Qin envoy, but you have to stay with us for a while, and give us a good talk about this knowledge." ”
"Don't worry, Sovereign Songtsam, Your Majesty asked me to come here to communicate with each other."
"Okay, okay, today Qin Envoy, let's go back, after all, you are all running around, rest early, and we will talk about this tomorrow." Songtsam nodded.
"Alright, Sovereign Songtsam, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Songzan asked people to arrange a few accommodations for Qin Shaochu and the others, Qin Shaochu called Li Zheng, Li Zheng entered Qin Shaochu's residence, and asked, "Dean Qin, I'm here." ”
"Hmm. Sit down," Qin Shaochu nodded
As Li Zheng sat down, Qin Shaochu said: "We came to Tubo this time, well, to exchange agriculture, so you restrain your subordinates and don't let them quarrel with Tubo." ”
"Don't worry, Dean Qin, I told them a long time ago, you don't have to worry." Li Zheng nodded, and then said
"Oh, that's good."
"Okay, let's go down, Laut has been running around for so long, rest early, get a good night's sleep,"
"Okay."
Seeing that Li Zheng had left him, Qin Shaochu lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as Qin Shaochu got up, a maid brought some breakfast, and when he saw the food in the maid's hand, Qin Shaochu said, "Put it here." ”
"Okay."
Then the maid went out.
After breakfast, Qin Shaochu walked out of his residence and came outside, looking at the busy figures everywhere, Qin Shaochu couldn't help but think of those busy people in the village in the 21st century.
It didn't take long for Songtsan to walk out of his palace and see that Qin Shaochu had already gotten up, so he walked over.
"Haha, Qin Envoy, it's early."
Qin Shaochu smiled and said, "Monarch Songzan, you are also early." ”
"Now that the Qin envoy has woken up, let's tell me about the knowledge of agriculture." Songtsan smiled
Qin Shaochu looked at the person behind Songtsan and nodded, "Okay, Sovereign Songtsam,"
Qin Shaochu asked Songtsan to give him a room, and then walked in with a few people, and Songtsan was also inside.
Seeing these people sit down, Qin Shaochu nodded, and then said, "Okay, since everyone is seated, then I'll say it." ”
"I believe everyone knows that agriculture, planting crops, is nothing more than looking at the weather, and rain, for example, if the weather is good this year, then the crops will be harvested, on the contrary, if the weather is bad, there are not many crops."
The crowd nodded.
"In addition, there is a lot of food in the plateau at this time that is not suitable for such a climate, so I talked to the Songtsan monarch for a while yesterday, and I think you can plant, barley, barley is also called yuan wheat and rice barley, this is the grain crop."
Then you can also grow rice and wheat at the bottom of the mountain, find some people to take care of it, and you can harvest it in a few months.
As for the fruit, you can grow grapes.
"Grapes?" The person below heard Qin Shaochu's words and was puzzled.
Then he said: "Qin envoy, we have also tried to plant the grapes you mentioned, but unfortunately there is no good harvest." ”
Qin Shaochu nodded, "That's because your planting method is wrong." ”
The man nodded, "Then Qin envoy, you have to teach me." ”
An hour later, Qin Shaochu talked a lot about agriculture, and after listening to Qin Shaochu's words, Songzan nodded in his heart, "I didn't expect this Qin Shaochu to be so powerful in terms of knowledge, there is such a person in agriculture in the Tang Dynasty, it must be even higher." ”
Looking at the people below, Qin Shaochu nodded, and then said, "Okay, I'm done too, if you still don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." ”
"Okay, don't worry, Qin Envoy, if we don't understand something, we will definitely come to ask you."
After speaking, a few people said goodbye, left the room, and walked out, Songzan and the others left, stood up, looked at Qin Shaochu, and nodded: "Haha, Qin envoy, I didn't expect that your knowledge of agriculture is stronger than that of our people in Tibet." ”
Qin Shaochu said modestly: "Monarch Songtsan is serious, I just watch more and learn more." ”
Songtsen Gampo shook his head, "Haha, don't be modest, the Qin envoy has something to say." ”
When the others left here, they called some people to look for the barley that Qin Shaochu said, and with the search of everyone, it took half a day to find this barley in a field two kilometers away.
found the barley, and the subordinates hurriedly came back to tell him, and came to Qin Shaochu alone, and asked Qin Shaochu to help see if what they found was the barley that Qin Shaochu said.
When Qin Shaochu heard this, he nodded, and followed this person to the location where the barley was, and it didn't take long for Qin Shaochu and others to come here, Qin Shaochu found that there was barley in the soil, and sure enough, there was barley,
Then he said: "That's right, this is barley, but it's a little little." ”
When a subordinate heard Qin Shaochu say that this was barley, he wanted to pick it and take it back.
Qin Shaochu grabbed him, and the subordinate looked at Qin Shaochu suspiciously, "What's the matter, Qin Envoy?" ”
"Don't worry, there are very few barley, we might as well let it ripen in this field, and then we will pick it again, and then there will be seeds?"
When the subordinate heard this, he nodded, "Okay, Qin envoy, we listen to you, if you want us to pick it, we will pick it." ”
"Hmm," Qin Shaochu nodded.
"Now that we've found the barley, let's go back and tell the Sovereign Songtsam first."
