Seed, a word full of life and imagination. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In the right environment, info seeds can lift thousands of times their own weight, grow from the size of inconspicuous sand and gravel to a towering tree, and can quickly fill a hard disk from a few bytes......

If you want to perfect your concept of ecological agriculture, a variety of seeds is an indispensable and important basic condition. Last winter, when he first started to build a greenhouse, Jin Yu tried to buy some vegetable seeds through official channels, Sinong Temple, there are acquaintances, Zhang Peng, who was full of dandruff, when Zhang Peng listened to Jin Yu's needs, he couldn't cry or laugh, and explained to Jin Yu very euphemistically the responsibilities of his unit "in charge of grain storage, warehouse management and Xi'an officials Lu rice supply and other affairs", to put it bluntly, he is a grain station administrator, and the early sweet potato breeding is just a cameo temporary worker......

Zhang Peng replied very directly: "There are only some common vegetable seeds, but they are not sold", because there is no precedent, and he dare not make an exception...... Jin Yu is a very reasonable person, and he did not embarrass the national granary administrator. It is enough to buy some common seeds from farmers, and Jin Yu is greedy for the seeds in the Western Regions, so he has the seed journey of the West Market Bounty and the Cheng Family Caravan......

Afterwards, Jin Yu inevitably slandered, the so-called heavy agriculture and suppression of business, only through tax increases to suppress business, heavy agriculture is only reflected in land ownership, there is no establishment of special institutions to breed, promote good seeds, all rely on non-governmental exchanges. In this matter, Jin Yu agrees with Comrade Zhang Yanghao's compassionate and compassionate views.

Throughout the feudal dynasty before the Tang Dynasty, there was only one person involved in the exchange of plant species in the Western Regions and won the reward of the imperial court, and this person was Zhang Qian, who had been famous for centuries. Zhang Qian went out to the Western Regions twice, the first time he went through a lot of hardships, lasted thirteen years, the scroll was destroyed, and he was detained by the Huns for more than a year. When he set out, there were more than 100 people, and when he arrived in Chang'an, there were only two left. After reporting the customs of various countries to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rewarded Zhang Qian with the official position of "Taizhong Doctor", from the four grades, the specific grade and authority can refer to the position of director of the Provincial Party History Office, although the bench is cold, but there are still a lot of Yulu.

Zhang Qian's second mission to the Western Regions actually came with the purpose of making a longitudinal and horizontal expedition, and with the experience and lessons of the first exploration, the second attaché increased to more than 300 people, and the gold, silver, and copper coins he brought with him were said to be tens of millions. People in the Western Regions like to eat cattle and sheep, and Zhang Qian drove 10,000 cattle and sheep over. The group of people is mighty and slowly marching to the west...... No, it's going to the Western Regions. This time, the main goal is to win over Wusun, and the second purpose is to declare the prestige of the country - the Heavenly Empire, not bad money, why don't you come and kneel and lick it?

As a result, Zhang Qian rushed to Wusun, and Wusun also had civil strife...... Fortunately, Zhang Qian's deputy envoy completed the second purpose, all the way swaggering through Dawan, Kangju, Dayueshi, Daxia and other countries, successfully left the impression of "people are stupid and have a lot of money" to the people of the Western Regions, and the people of the Western Regions passed on by word of mouth, so a large number of Hu merchants rushed to Dahan to do business, which was the prototype of the "Silk Road". At the same time, "people are stupid and have a lot of money" has also caused a bad tradition of robbing Han officials and caravans in the Loulan area, and the soft and hard temperament of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not covered, and with a wave of his hand, Zhao Ponu approved seven hundred cavalry, raided Loulan, and broke it. So there was Wang Changling's golden sentence later: "Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken".

This time, which lasted four years, Zhang Qian returned to Xi'an with the envoy of Wusun and was named "Marquis of Bowang". The Silk Road slowly took shape, and the people-to-people exchange of species began at this time.

Within a few years of this kind of exchange, the Central Plains was able to produce a large number of people, and it became a pot of porridge. Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sima Yi, etc., each led a few years of coquettishness, and later it was even more chaotic, and the pot of porridge was stewed, until Yang Ying's grandfather Yang Guang was unified, and gradually settled down, and the Silk Road was revitalized.

At this time, Jin Yu was a hundred years ago, and there was a cattle man, who was highly respected by Jin Yu, and he was the great agronomist - Jia Sixian.

In a large agricultural country, it claims to have a civilization of 5,000 years, but there are few agronomists in its history, which is the sadness of the whole nation.

Jia Siqian was born in a scholarly family, and he was too guarded, he could have talked and laughed, he could have played the piano, read the scriptures, and he could have searched for oil and scraped fat, but in the face of the displacement of poor people and lack of food, he finally chose the most difficult road. The practice of the first half of his life, the second half of his life was sorted out, and throughout his life, he became a book "Qi Min Yaoshu". The work consists of chapters on farming, grains, vegetables, fruit trees, trees, livestock, brewing, seasoning, conditioning, and foreign products, and is the earliest and most complete large-scale agricultural encyclopedia in a large agricultural country. It's a pity that Jia Siqian didn't see his writings shine brightly in his lifetime. In fact, the promotion of "Qi Min Yaoshu" has not been very strong, and those who leave a name in history are often not doers, because they don't play words and politics.

The efficiency of the Cheng family's caravan is not covered, not long after Qin Huaiyu's wedding, Cheng Huaimo rushed to lead a team of carriages to Jinjiazhuang to deliver the results of this procurement.

"Big brother, just what kind of green onion brings a lot, according to the caravan whip, the Hu people grow a lot of this, and it is resistant to storage, so they buy more on their own initiative." Cheng Huaimo pointed to a basket of onions in the car and said.

"Yes, yes, this thing is delicious." Jin Yu was overjoyed, in the era when there was no refrigerator, the vast majority of vegetables were not tolerant, so they could only be dried and pickled and stored, and there was no umami at all, but onions were an exception. Onions are stored longer than Chinese cabbage and potatoes, and they are dried in the sun, as long as they are dry and ventilated, there is no water in them, and it is no problem to enlarge them for half a year.

"This is a kind of radish seed, but the radish is strange in color, red inside and out, this can't be put down, the caravan only bought some seeds from the Hu people." Seeing that Jin Yu was satisfied, Cheng Huaimo was also happy, and introduced Jin Yu in the same way.

"This is also good, marinated and eaten, mixed with meat stuffing and dumplings, and the taste is also very good." As soon as he heard Cheng Huaimo say this, Jin Yu knew that it was a carrot. Jin Yu has been in Datang for two years, and he has never seen a carrot. After Zhang Qian, the Silk Road only flourished for fifty or sixty years, the road was far away, and merchants came to Middle-earth, only bringing high-profit things and a handful of seeds, who knows what? How could anyone buy it? Will you not adapt to the soil after you buy it? Will it be lost? There are too many instability. The merchants of China and Turkey brought more silk with them when they went to the Western Regions, and the things they brought back were also valuable things that were unanimously approved by the nobles of both sides. In the face of a caravan that can bring great benefits to themselves, it is certain that good wine and good food are greeted, even if there are carrots on the dinner table, they will not be noticed by the merchants of the Central Plains, because the focus is on wine. Wine culture has a long history not only in the Central Plains, but also in the Western Regions, such as wine. "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times? "It vividly reflects what the generals and soldiers like. There is a place with seeds, it is better to bring a few more bottles of wine and a few more luminous glasses, which sell well and the profits are also beautiful.

"Then when it comes out, the younger brother has to try the eldest brother's craftsmanship." Cheng Huaimo drooled a little when he heard what Jin Yu said, and continued to introduce, "This is the seed of spinach, it is said that the root of the vegetable is also red, the leaves are quite large, dark green, and there are few vegetable stalks, but the yield is low, but the nobles over there like to eat it, so they collected more seeds." ”

"This is also a good thing, don't be afraid of low yield, slowly improve." Spinach, Jin Yu also likes to eat it, this thing is rich in vitamins and can treat night blindness; It is rich in iron and is known as the iron supplement for the poor; There is also a lot of fiber, which is the favorite of people with constipation. Jin Yu remembered seeing in the literature that in the later years of Li Erye, the Ni Bora envoy paid tribute to Li Erye in the name of the national dish. In his later years, Li Erye was already obsessed with eating all kinds of "elixir", the Taoist elixir is rich in various heavy metals, hallucinogenic is the mildest symptom, and the serious one soars directly. The blood-tonifying function of spinach can bring the symptoms of mercury poisoning, so Li Erye feels good to eat, so he first left a seed in the pill world, and the alchemy Taoist affectionately called it "Persian Divine Grass". It's a pity that Second Master Li only ate it for three years, and then he soared. Jin Yu thought with pity, it would be good if spinach had been introduced to the Central Plains earlier, otherwise the Jin Dynasty's group of scholars and doctors who liked to eat five stones would not be able to make a slippery wolf run.

"This is alfalfa seeds, the Hu people grow all over the mountains, don't pick a place, there are a lot of poor people over there who eat this." Cheng Huaimo was a little embarrassed, he always felt that this was eaten by the poor and should not be collected, and he complained privately about the caravan's whip.

"Sativa?" Jin Yu was pleasantly surprised, "Good boy, with this thing, this trip is worth it!" "Alfalfa is highly adaptable, cold and drought resistant, salinity-alkaline, resistant to pests and diseases, and has high nutritional value. When it is tender, people can eat, after the adult plant, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, chickens like to eat, and grow fast, do not need to feed other forage, do not get sick, the appearance of the fur is smooth and shiny. Cutting and drying in late autumn is the best forage for livestock to overwinter in winter. The key is that the vitality is tenacious, not picking the ground, and perennial. What a treasure!

"Hehe, it's good if the big brother likes it." Cheng Huaimo touched his head embarrassedly, it seemed that he was going to reward the whip when he turned around. "This is the seed of the kind of melon that my eldest brother bought some time ago, can we grow it too?" Cheng Huaimo likes to eat cantaloupe very much, and asked hopefully.

"What kind of melon, people call it cantaloupe. Don't try to plant it, even if it grows, it's not delicious, it's not sweet. "The reason why cantaloupe is sweet is because the sun in the Western Regions is long, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so it doesn't have that taste when you change places.

"That's a shame." Cheng Huai said nostalgically.

"If you eat too much and get on the fire, you will have mouth sores on the top and hemorrhoids on the bottom." Jin Yu had a wicked smile on his face, and assigned Cheng Huaimo to say: "Pick a dozen or so onions, and let the rest be put in the cellar." Don't leave today, I'll get you something delicious.
