From today on, he Li Xiao is destined to be a person who will go down in history.

From today on, the history books of the Tang Dynasty will surely leave a strong mark for him. In the history books of the future, he Li Xiao will definitely be called the father of corn by future generations.

If Li Zhi understood the value of this corn, I believe he would definitely be willing to exchange it for the title of duke. Unless Li Zhi is so stingy, otherwise he will still make a lot of money in exchange for corn for the dukedom of a country. If it weren't for Li Xiao's mysterious space, where would he find corn?

Corn is still on the opposite side of the vast ocean at this time, and without him, it will be at least a thousand years before corn enters Middle-earth.

He crouched down cautiously and began to reach out to pluck the weeds from the edge of the precious corn seedling.

This is a treasure worth more than gold, and no bugs can be allowed to inflict it.

He now regretted a little that he shouldn't have picked the corn cob just now, this corn cob was not ripe, and if it was ripe, it would be able to be used as a seed, and there would be a large field of corn seedlings when it was sown.

It's a pity, it's a pity.

He wanted to slap himself twice.

Carefully pulling out all the weeds under the corn seedlings, Li Xiao began to carefully count the cobs on the poles.

One two three.

Four five.

Six.

Seven.

······

After counting, Li Xiao counted for a long time, and finally found that this corn that was taller than him actually had eight cobs, and there were seven more than one he had just picked.

Oh, my God.

That's just too much.

Li Xiao had eaten corn and seen corn fields before, and he knew that if corn was generally to have a high yield, the more cobs the better.

Under normal circumstances, the yield of two cobs on one corn plant will be the highest, and if there are more cobs, the yield will be reduced, and even in order to ensure the yield, the excess cobs have to be removed.

This is also a special feature of corn planting, more cobs does not mean higher yields.

In general, keeping two cobs tends to make the corn kernels fuller, and the larger the cob, the higher the natural yield.

But this corn, perhaps because it grew in space and was affected by mysterious energy, actually produced eight cobs, and all of them were so big and full.

This is the king of corn.

Even if there won't be so many of them planted outside, as long as one tree can produce two of these corn cobs, the yield is already incredible.

This awesome corn has a corn cob almost in a knot on the stalk.

Fortunately, I had so many cobs, and if I had only produced two ears of corn and let myself pick one, I would have to regret my death.

Sitting under the corn seedlings, Li Xiao stared at the unripe cob in his hand, but unfortunately, he was distressed.

He was distressed and nodded.

One by one, two and three, row by row, after a long time, finally clear, on this corn cob, there are 637 grains of corn, if you add the four grains he just picked off, it is 641 grains.

High yield, absolutely high yield.

Normally, after the corn cob is dried, the corn kernels are still very high. A pound of dry corn on the cob can produce seventy and a half to eighty and a half corn kernels.

Thinking of the importance of this treasure, Li Xiao got up and unbuttoned his pants and poured urine on the corn, and finally ran to the Lingquan, took a bucket and beat half a bucket of water, and carefully poured it on the side.

Before leaving the space, Li Xiao carefully inspected again, and after confirming that no other new species had been found, he left with the corn cob satisfied.

When he got home, he threw down the two buckets, Li Xiao took the corn cob and hung it up carefully, and then hung it under the eaves.

He moves gently and seriously.

"What is this, I have never seen it before."

"Corn." Li Xiaotou didn't reply.

"Corn? Could it be a new species brought from the Western Regions, like a mallet, and like a cow's horn, the grains on it are indeed light yellow like jade, but it is called corn, is this as edible as rice? ”

"Of course, corn corn originally meant rice like jade, and this name is actually the same as glutinous rice, black rice, etc., which are naturally edible."

"I can't imagine that this thing can be eaten, and I've never heard of it, so what kind of tree is this?"

"Corn tree, corn is not a corn tree, and where is it, how can you ask such a stupid question?"

"Hehe, indeed."

"Well, who are you?"

As soon as Li Xiao turned around, he found that he didn't know the person who had been talking to him for a long time. However, there are often people in Lijiazhuang who come uninvited, and it is not the first time.

"In Xia Di Huaiying, I heard that Lanxi Li Sanlang was high-minded, and he came to visit. Just now I explained to the housekeeper at the door that he brought me in, but he didn't see Li Sanlang, so he asked me to wait here. I didn't expect that Saburo was actually in the house, but maybe I didn't hear the report. Di Renjie smiled and arched his hand.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Di." Li Xiao was very unfamiliar with the name Di Huaiying, and he didn't expect that this was actually Di Renjie, who was later famous in history.

After all, sometimes I remember other people's names and don't remember the words very well.

Di Renjie is not much older than Li Xiao, and he speaks with a Hedong and Zhou accent, but he is quite tall and elegant, and Li Xiao has a good impression of this uninvited guest.

The two of you also chatted with me as soon as you said a word.

Di Renjie came today with Yan Liben's mission and came to observe Li Xiao, but he didn't rush to ask Li Xiao about the appointment in Lanxi Township, nor did he ask about the disaster relief and drought, he stared at the corn plant and talked to Li Xiao about the corn.

Someone was willing to ask, but Li Xiao didn't deliberately hide it.

He told Di Renjie about the magic of corn, and Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, although he was still very polite on the surface, in fact, Di Renjie already felt that Li Xiao was a fool in his heart.

What is delusion?

Vanity, arrogance!

In short, it's a person who likes to brag.

What corn is not afraid of drought, not afraid of poor fertilizer, what mu production capacity has two or three stones, planted well or even four or five stones, what corn can be ground into flour to make cakes as a staple food, can also be directly cooked, but also can make wine, etc., is to blow corn into a fairy baby.

But Di Renjie also claimed to be well-informed, but he had never heard of any corn.

If there really is such a thing in the world, how can no one in the world know about it?

Back then, Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions and brought back many crops from the Western Regions. Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to send Li Guangli to lead the army thousands of miles away to conquer Dawan several times for the sake of Dawan's sweat and blood.

If there is really such a magical corn in the Western Regions, then it is impossible for the merchants from the Western Regions who came to Chang'an not to say it.

"Hehe, don't believe it, in a few days I will sow this corn, it will only take more than three months, and it will be harvested in a hundred days. It will be clear how much production there will be. Li Xiao saw this man's unbelief.

Di Renjie saw that Li Xiao said seriously, and couldn't help but be skeptical, "If after a hundred days, if there is really a harvest as San Lang said, then this thing is really more precious than gold." ”

"No, why is it called corn, this is as beautiful and precious rice as jade."
