In the afternoon, Li Xiuwen asked Li Dong to drive the carriage, and he took Wang Bing around Kaifeng City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Well, to be precise, they didn't press the road, the places they went to were all rice grain stores, and Li Xiuwen was looking for a few things.

He was looking for high-yielding species such as corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes. He vaguely remembered that these high-yield grains should have been introduced in the Ming Dynasty, but they were not well promoted.

During the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, due to the severe cold weather and successive years of famine, the grain production failed. The land annexation by the elite class was serious, and the imperial court increased taxes, resulting in many displaced people in various places. When encountering a catastrophe and famine, the common people can't even eat, and often can only eat Guanyin soil and stomach, and even have the phenomenon of eating Yizi.

The only way to solve the problem of the people not having enough to eat is to increase grain production. Li Xiuwen wants to promote these high-yield crops, and the Li family has many fertile fields under their name, so he can start planting them himself. When the results are met, we will find ways to influence more people to switch to farming and planting these crops, so that when there is a catastrophe, many people will not starve to death.

At this time, you can also open up the land by yourself, and the land you reclaim belongs to you. Maybe those uncultivated land, planting other grain harvest is not good, but if you plant these high-yield crops, the harvest should not be bad, but he remembered in his previous life that sweet potatoes don't need to be taken care of, and they can grow well on their own.

At first, he only said that he wanted sweet potatoes, but after asking a number of rice grain stores to no avail, he remembered that maybe at this time, there was no such word as sweet potatoes. Later, when he went to a rice store, he described the shape of the grain to the store in detail. After asking many rice grain stores, Li Xiuwen finally found what he was looking for in a rice grain store.

"That's right! That's it. ”

Li Xiuwen was overjoyed when he saw the sweet potato seeds taken out by the store: "Are there anything else I said?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "We don't have what Childe said, these things are not cultivated, if you want to find them, you can go to the rice grain shop in the south of the city to have a look." ”

"Okay, I'll take as much as you have."

Li Xiuwen didn't say much to him, and directly bought the few sweet potato seeds in the store. Then he and Wang Bing got into the car and headed south of the city.

"What are you looking for these things for?"

In the carriage, Wang Bing asked strangely. She saw Li Xiuwen's rice grain store asking, but she didn't know what he wanted to do, this question had been in her heart for a long time. Now that Li Xiuwen has found what he wants, she can't help but ask.

"Farming."

Li Xiuwen said happily. At first, he didn't know if he could find it, but now that he has the bottom of his heart, he is in a very good mood.

Once a woman's curiosity is aroused, she will break the casserole and ask, "What are you doing with these?" ”

"It must be planted and eaten!"

Li Xiuwen looked at her strangely, aren't you talking nonsense? If the grain is grown, it must be eaten, is it possible that there are other uses?

Seeing Li Xiuwen's eyes like an idiot, Wang Bing was very depressed, but he couldn't help but be curious: "Other grains can also be eaten, why do you want to grow this?" ”

Li Xiuwen already knew what she wanted to ask at this time, but he couldn't help but tease her: "Other women can also have children, why do I want to look for you?" ”

"Huh!"

A steel knife was placed on Li Xiuwen's neck, and Wang Bing felt that only in this way could he speak well. She gritted her teeth and said, "Answer the question honestly!" ”

"Uh, I'm kidding."

Li Xiuwen couldn't cry or laugh, and then remembered her name as a "tigress", this tiger has not been powerful for many days, and he is about to treat her as a sick cat. Carefully moving his neck away, he said what he intended to cultivate these high-yield grains.

"How do you know there will be a famine?" After Wang Bing listened, he looked at him suspiciously.

"Uh......"

Li Xiuwen secretly made a mistake in his heart, and he said what was going to happen in the future, isn't this suspicious? I don't know how to answer this question right now, is it possible to tell her that I have traveled through time? Even if you are willing to tell her, the key is for her to believe it? After thinking about it, he said vaguely: "My master taught me the art of astrological divination, so I calculated that there would be such a thing in the future." ”

Wang Bing didn't believe his words at all, she knew that Li Xiuwen had worshiped a Taoist as a teacher, and the cold on his body was also cured by that person, and the set of swordsmanship he was practicing now was also given by that person, but she didn't know that the person was Liu Bowen's. She didn't think that anyone could really calculate what would happen in the future, and even if she did, he didn't believe that Li Xiuwen had such ability.

"Don't try to fool this girl!"

"You still don't believe me? Why don't I do the math for you? ”

Li Xiuwen saw that she was suspicious, and wanted to tease her, who told her to draw a knife at every turn?

"How?" Wang Bing wondered, could it be that he really knew this?

"Hand out!"

Li Xiuwen put on an attitude of being a master outside the world. When Wang Bing returned the knife into the sheath and stretched out his little hand, he held Wang Bing's little hand seriously, put it in front of him and squinted for a long time. I only said in my heart: "Well, the skin is good, and the fingers are slender and slender......"

Wang Bing looked a little uncomfortable when he held his little hand, and urged: "Okay, okay?" ”

Li Xiuwen came back to his senses at this time: "Hmm...... Almost. ”

After looking at her for a while, he let go of her hand, and then pinched his fingers, blinked his eyes, and babbled in his mouth. That look, typically, is a god stick.

"Hmm...... I have calculated that you will get married in three years, and you will have three sons and two daughters, and I will give you all the names, the eldest son, well, let me think about it, I didn't figure it out just now......"

Wang Bing looked at him with wide eyes, could it be that he could really figure it out? But after hearing Li Xiuwen's words, he understood that this guy was talking nonsense again. Seeing that he was still seriously about naming his son, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This girl won't give you so many sons!" ”

Li Xiuwen saw that he was finally vague, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, and wanted to say a few more nonsense, but the car stopped, and they had already come to the south of the city. The two got out of the car and found corn, sweet potatoes and potato seeds in the south of the city before returning home.

But after the things were bought, Li Xiuwen remembered a key question, how to plant it? In his previous life, he only had a general understanding of the cultivation methods of these crops, and he didn't know how to start if he was really asked to plant them.

Fortunately, since these species have been introduced at this time, some people naturally know some simple planting methods, as long as they find some people who have planted them, experienced crop methods, and tell them some experience in their previous lives, they should be able to plant well. Naturally, someone from the Wang family is responsible for finding someone, anyway, Wang Wu is his old father-in-law, and he doesn't have to use so many people under him!

After solving this matter, Li Xiuwen was in a good mood and was about to take a cup of tea and rest, but Chen Yi came back at this time. Li Xiuwen knew that he should have found some news about the palace, so the two went to the study to talk.
