Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to continue, Pang Tong clapped his hands and smiled: "If the entire field is full of such thick ears of rice, doubling the grain output is not a problem." ”

Thinking along this line of thought, Pang Tong instantly found that this was really the key to increasing grain production.

Just imagine, if there are more than 180 grains of millet in a rice ear now, and there are 350 grains or even 100 grains in this plant, the total yield of one mu of land will increase by at least 50 percent, and it is even possible to double the yield.

If you add Zhuge Fei's Zengcheng, the general yield of five stones per mu of fertile land is not a problem!

This is not just a miracle, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as auspicious from the sky.

Moreover, this idea is still really feasible.

When the rice is headed, the ears of rice with more grains and thick plants are transplanted into the same fertile field, and the best fertilizer is applied, supplemented by the best artificial care, and when the harvest is made, the rice in this fertile field is the best rice seed.

Even, Pang Tong thought that it was not impossible for the ears of rice to eventually grow five or six hundred, or even thousands of grains, if they were so selected year after year.

In short, the thickest plants are transplanted into the same fertile field, and the rice seeds at the autumn harvest are definitely the best.

Moreover, Pang Tong also thought that this is not only rice can be selected in this way, but also soybeans, wheat, etc., as long as it is grains and the like, as long as it is grain and the like, it seems that they can be selected in this way.

The idea is very clear, as long as labor is invested, at most two years, you can see an increase in grain production.

As for that, if you want to achieve the yield of ten or so stones per mu that he expected from Pang Tong, it will not be a matter of three or five years.

……

The people live on food.

Not to mention doubling the grain output, even if the output increases by three to five percent, it is enough to walk on the altar and compete with the Shennong clan.

More importantly, if the grain production increases, the common people will be able to eat enough, so who would be willing to rebel?

I don't dare to say that the world is peaceful from now on, but at the very least, it has reduced the factors of chaos in the world by a few points, isn't it?

Next to the big bluestone, there was silence for a long time.

Pang Tong was divergent in his thinking, but Zhuge Liang was waiting for Pang Tong to come back to his senses.

After a long time, Pang Tong came back to his senses and sighed: "Selecting rice seeds is so simple, why has no one found it before?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "In the world, there is never a lack of beauty, but there is a lack of eyes that find beauty." ”

"In the fields, there is never a shortage of the best growing rice plants, and the farmers may have discovered them, but they are worried about their livelihood all day long, where is the extra thought and energy to think about optimizing the rice planting or something?"

"And we, the so-called intelligent people, have always regarded ourselves very highly, and occasionally walking around the farmland is already a move close to the people, so how have we ever really faced up to the problem of farming, and how have we ever thought about increasing grain production?"

"The best rice seeds have always been in the field, and we just lack them to discover!"

"That's what I said, that everything is learned."

"As long as we calm down and use our hearts to discover these ubiquitous knowledge, what great achievements, what fame will leave in history, just wait for leisure!" Zhuge Liang patted Pang Tong's shoulder and concluded.

In fact, whether it is the Confucian scholars of this era, or those who pretend to be high-minded strategists, most of them are boastful. Maybe assisting the princes to govern a county, or governing the army, they all have some talents, if they really let them develop the people's livelihood, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them.

People's livelihood, what is that?

As long as the people pay their taxes on time, the world is peaceful, and who will pay attention to how to increase the grain production in the fields!

Even in the previous life of the original owner, although he governed Shu Han in an orderly manner, there was no real benefit to the people, and there were no inventions that really benefited thousands of generations, which have been handed down. Only a Zhuge steamed bun was reluctantly invented because of the needs of the Southern Expedition to Meng; Among them, there may also be the credit of his wife Huang Yueying.

Now, he Zhuge Liang is no longer the original owner, and the pursuit of the path of immortality is the highest goal.

But before reaching the highest goal, he Zhuge Liang still needs to go out of the mountain to assist Liu Bei.

At least, he has to assist Liu Bei to achieve the hegemony of the world, and he Zhuge Liang is talented, but most of the cause and effect are expected, and he is expected to live forever.

If you want to assist Uncle Liu Huang to achieve hegemony faster, Zhuge Liang will use a lot of knowledge to improve productivity in later generations. But this is not enough, relying on him Zhuge Liang alone, even if he plagiarizes the future generations, he will not be busy after all.

So, Pang Tong, who has been moved by him and is also ready to serve Uncle Liu Huang, is the best assistant.

Pang Tong's IQ is not bad, as long as he knocks on the side a little, he doesn't need his Zhuge Liang to guide him, Pang Tong can discover and invent a lot of things. Just like the question of the selection of rice seeds, Zhuge Liang just mentioned it, and Pang Tong knew how to optimize rice seeds.

Such a smart assistant, Zhuge Liang didn't want to let go.

Besides, he Zhuge Liang is already a monk, those actions to benefit the people, those inventions with immeasurable merits, such as Zhuge pox, Zhuge fertilizer, and the optimization of this rice seed, etc., it doesn't matter if he does it, it just accumulates luck for him.

However, such as Zhuge crossbow, such as the Zhuge crossbow, as well as black powder, etc., Zhuge Liang is not ready to get his hands on it again.

Such an invention was just handed over to Pang Tong to complete.

Anyway, Pang Tong doesn't need to say luck, and he doesn't care about luck.

……

After another half of the day, Pang Tong was a little hesitant and a little embarrassed, and he sighed for a while before he said: "This optimization of grain varieties can indeed increase grain production, and it is also a good deed that has been immortalized, Brother Kong Ming, you see?" ”

The implication is that he wants Zhuge Liang to leave this matter to him.

In later generations, there are countless examples of stealing trade secrets and stealing scientific and technological achievements.

But in this era, even if it is hostile, it is necessary to pay attention to reputation and cheekiness.

For example, in the previous life of the original owner, because the Qishan trail was not good for transporting grain, Zhuge Liang's Trojan horse and cattle came into being.

However, after Sima Yi robbed a batch of Trojan Horse Flowing Ox, he could use it and study it, but he would not say with a clear conscience that this Trojan Horse Flowing Cow was invented by him Sima Yi.

This is the discipline of this era.

Pang Tong wanted to optimize the work of grain seeds, but this method was proposed by Zhuge Kongming.

Moreover, Pang Tong speculated that he was afraid that Zhuge Kongming was already working to optimize the layout of grain varieties.

At this time, he Pang Tong wanted to participate, and even wanted to go it alone, which was a bit suspicious of taking the credit of others.

Although, Pang Tong can also put aside Zhuge Liang and do it himself, but his discipline is not so unlimited. What's more, Zhuge Kongming is still his friend of Pang Tong, so he can't do this.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled: "Brother Shi Yuan, it is said that this great work of optimizing grain varieties is okay to give it to Brother Shi Yuan." ”

"It's just that this optimization of grain varieties and Zhuge fertilizer are complementary to each other."

"Brother Shiyuan also knows that the younger brother is now a monk, and what he needs most is luck."

"Now, the combination of this optimized grain seed and Zhuge fertilizer can also double the grain production, to say the least. Such a great achievement, the merit is immeasurable, and the luck is so huge, the younger brother really can't give in. ”

Looking at Pang Tong's obviously disappointed eyes, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.

He has dialed it like this, Pang Tong hasn't thought about it yet, and is still immersed in optimizing the grain seeds.

"Brother Shiyuan, I just said that everything in the world is knowledgeable."

"Brother Shiyuan, why bother with just one optimized grain seed?"

"You must know, we will all go out of the mountain to assist the real dragon, didn't Brother Shiyuan think of other inventions that can assist Uncle Liu Huang to achieve hegemony?" Zhuge Liang nodded again.

This time, he can't point it out like optimizing the grain seed.

Because, once he Zhuge Liang points out, he Pang Tong should find a way in terms of weapons and armor, and in the future, Pang Tong will really invent battlefield weapons, and he Zhuge Liang will not be able to get rid of it.

Battlefield weapons are all killed, and ordinary people invent them, but it's not a big deal.

But the monk was contaminated with this invention and was bound to have his luck curtailed.

He Zhuge Liang is too little luck now, how can he still be contaminated with these.

Only when Pang Tong thinks of this aspect himself, he will not have much to do with him Zhuge Liang.

……

Assist the true dragon to achieve the invention of hegemony?

Pang Tong was not stupid, and quickly thought of what to do.

If the real dragon wants to achieve hegemony, what does it need most?

Money and food, soldiers and horses, cities, and talents, these are all indispensable.

Now, in terms of cities and talents, he can't think of any other good inventions related to them. In terms of money and grain, there is Zhuge Kongming's plan to increase grain production, and he doesn't have to worry about it. In this way, the only thing left for him to show his skills is the soldiers and horses.

Soldiers and horses are mainly divided into two aspects, soldiers and weapons.

As for training or something, this is something that generals should worry about, what does it have to do with him?

Nor is it the direction of his development.

After all, the soldiers were all recruited, and the number was huge, and it was impossible for him to conjure up many soldiers out of thin air.

If so, the only thing that can make him tap his potential is weapons.

Swords, guns, swords, halberds or something, there is not much potential to be tapped.

But the siege equipment, and the defense equipment, have a big saying.

Trebuchets, rhubarb crossbows, ballistae, punches, etc., these are all discoverable.

At this moment, Pang Tong remembered some toys from his childhood.

……

After the morning meal, Pang Tong couldn't wait to say goodbye and was ready to go back to start research.

At this time, Pang Tong's mind was full of various mechanical principles.

Although it is said that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, the hundred schools of thought have been hidden and rarely heard.

But the vast majority of scholars who aspire to become strategists are involved in hundreds of schools.

Like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, the soldiers, the Mo family or something, are naturally even more proficient.

Therefore, the original owner is proficient in machinery or something, and Pang Tong is naturally no stranger.

"Brother Shiyuan, slow down!" Zhuge Liang grabbed Pang Tong, who was about to leave in a hurry, and said: "After I clean up, let's go to Lumen Mountain together, I want to go to see Uncle Pang, there is something I have to ask Uncle Pang to come forward." ”

"What?" Pang Tong was rarely distracted and asked curiously.

"Kiss!" Zhuge Liang did not hide it.
