Chapter 69 Miscellaneous Rice Yields Initial Results
After everything was arranged, Wang Haoran devoted himself to the planning of "combining villages into cities", conducting field investigations and writing plans, and it took nearly half a month to complete the plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Yuankai also came to work, and spent a whole day carefully reviewing the thick stack of planning books. Seeing that Zhao Yuankai summoned a few scholars to copy the planning book overnight, Wang Haoran remembered movable type printing, anyway, now Zeng Chengyong is idle, and movable type printing is not very difficult, so he simply asked Zeng Chengyong to tinker with this thing, and put it in department stores to sell it.
After another three days, Wang Haoran received a notice from Zhao Yuankai and went to Zhao's mansion. When he arrived in Zhao's mansion, there were already many people gathered in Zhao's mansion, all of whom were big landlords and wealthy businessmen with some identities in Puzhou, and these were the objects of investment promotion in Wang Haoran's planning, and these people would become the first batch of real estate developers in China.
When Zhao Yuankai saw Wang Haoran coming, he warmly greeted Wang Haoran to the upper seat, and these people also greeted Wang Haoran one after another, presumably Zhao Yuankai had introduced Wang Haoran to these people before this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have read the plan you gave you earlier, right? Now that the prince has come, if you have any questions, you can raise them. Zhao Yuankai said.
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and seeing that everyone has no objections, one of the wealthy businessmen said on behalf of everyone: "Wang Gongzi's plan is very thorough, and I have no opinion." ”
"In that case, let's discuss how to divide this piece of fat." Zhao Yuankai said with a smile.
"The old man wants to take 20%." A large landowner said, gesturing his fingers.
"Twenty percent? You want to be beautiful. Here ** person, you are two, so let others drink the northwest wind? Someone directly refused.
Everyone, you say a word to me, some people say that it is divided equally, but how can nine people divide it? Although this investment is huge, it is not a one-time investment, in Wang Haoran's plan, it is to build some buildings for use first, and then slowly expand while making money. In this way, the funds of these bigwigs can be turned over, and everyone wants to occupy more, and they can't draw conclusions for a long time.
"You see if this will work, and the official will invest some privately. Plus there are just ten officials, how about one of us? Zhao Yuankai proposed.
There's a reason there are nine people sitting here! However, it is good to have Zhao Tingshi, a court official, to join, which can save a lot of trouble.
Zhao Yuankai saw that everyone did not object, so he emphasized again: "This official only invests privately, and does not mix with your resolutions, how to operate it is up to you to discuss and decide." ”
The reason why he repeatedly emphasized was because the imperial court forbade officials from doing business, but there were policies and countermeasures, as long as everyone here kept silent, the imperial court had no choice, which was also a common means for officials in the Tang Dynasty to do business.
Wang Haoran did not object to Zhao Yuankai's joining, lest he watch these businessmen make a lot of money and feel unbalanced in his heart, and any small actions can make these people obediently pay for peace.
In order to have a place to stay when discussing the plan, a wealthy businessman generously set up a house in his county town as a temporary council for the use of the nine-member council.
The first step is to measure the private land within the area of the purchase and use, publicize and explain to the people in the area, and make proper arrangements for temporarily moving to other places. Priority was given to the areas that needed to be built first, and the construction of the building began in less than a month.
In fact, in the project of "Combining Villages into Cities", Wang Haoran's investment is not much, because the cement, bricks, steel bars and other materials used in the construction are provided by him, and the construction team is also under his control.
While following up the construction of "Hecun for the City", Chen Jun came with news that the pollen of the rice was about to mature, Wang Haoran hurriedly went over to check, no matter how urgent the matter was, it was not as important as hybrid rice, and he had to rely on this to turn over.
Wang Haoran knew how rice pollen was ripe, and he had picked it before. In the past few days, I have been following up on the growth of rice, and when the pollen is ripe, I called Zeng Chengyong, Chang Yue'e and others to help, and told everyone to be careful.
Because of the small amount of rice planted, Wang Haoran simply used all nine rice varieties and seventy-two hybrid methods, and perhaps he could also cultivate the female parent needed in the three-line method. Seven people worked hard for two or three days to complete the pollen hybridization, and the rest could only wait for the results in addition to daily care.
Chen Jie and Chang Shusheng are in charge of the side, which has already started. In addition to adding a transportation system to the mine, Chen Jie used blasting technology because he was currently digging an open-pit iron ore. However, there is no electric drill yet, and Chen Jie only uses it in the crevices of the stone**, but even so, it has nearly doubled the mining speed.
The project of "Combining Villages into Cities" is progressing in an orderly manner, and Wang Haoran has a lot of free time, and when he has free time, he will study with everyone how to improve mining tools. Chen Jie proposed to make a machine that can punch holes in stones, Wang Haoran was noncommittal, iron ore is not better than stone, not better than pure metal, with the quality of the drill bits currently made, it is very easy to be worn out by iron ore, maybe not even a hole can be drilled. However, gold in the Tang Dynasty was scarce and worth more than ten times more than the gold of the 21st century.
It seems that if you want to increase the speed of mining, you must first put the development of alloys on the agenda, but many of the facilities are not perfect at present, and it is not easy to do delicate work. After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Haoran simply asked Chen Jie to withdraw from the iron mine, and let him and the three-person research team of Chen Jun and Zhao Wenshan start to study metals, first enrich the metal theory, and then talk about the development of alloys, and Wang Haoran will come over to study with them when he is not busy
As for the classification of metals, Wang Haoran does not know much, and the progress is quite slow. There is no way to do this, and Wang Haoran doesn't plan to let them put all their energy into it, they just need to study it when they have time and slowly accumulate experience.
A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the effect of hybrid rice has already been revealed, and there are nine varieties of hybrid rice showing amazing yields. Wang Haoran asked Chen Jun to count how many grains there were on various grain strings, while he went to other people's farmland to find a bunch of good-looking rice and counted them with interest.
When Wang Haoran came back, Chen Jun asked first, "How much?" ”
"43, you guys so?" Wang Haoran looked forward to it.
Chen Jun and the others almost jumped up and cheered.
"How many do you have here?" Wang Haoran was a little anxious.
Chen Jun flipped through the records, pointed to various hybrid rice and said one by one: "52, 73, 38, 89"
"Guess how many grains there are in this rice." Chen Jun said mysteriously.
Wang Haoran looked at it carefully and replied, "100? ”
"One hundred and twenty-one." Chen Jun said word by word.
"Nearly three times!" Zhao Wenshan added.
"Haha" Wang Haoran looked up to the sky and laughed, the day of shame was coming.
After everyone's excitement calmed down a little, Chen Jie said: "It's really strange that there are several kinds of rice over there that are the same as those that don't produce rice grains. ”
Wang Haoran hurriedly walked in the direction pointed by Chen Jie, and squatted down in front of the rice he said to observe, the rice on the grain bunches was shriveled, and it could indeed be said that there was zero yield. He looked at other rice plants with the same condition, and found that there were three other hybrid rice varieties that had the same condition, and asked, "Have these been recorded?" ”
"No, it's all like this, why do you remember it?" Chen Jun replied.
"Hurry up and write it down, it's not very useful."
"What's the use of that?" Chen Jie wondered.
"Are you only satisfied with three stones per acre of rice? Do you want to research rice with a yield of six stones per mu? ”
"Six stones?" The crowd was shocked.
"Can you really achieve a yield of six stones per mu?" Zhao Wenshan asked.
"Before this, did you believe that there were three stones per mu?" Wang Haoran asked rhetorically, not waiting for them to answer, and continued, "Who are we? It is to do research, and to do things that others can't think of, or dare not think of, this is the meaning of our team's existence. ”
Chen Jun was infected with high morale, and said in response: "Yes! What we do is make the impossible possible! ”
: Ask for a recommendation!!
