Thinking of this, Li Xiang turned to Shi Bingxue and said: "Ice and snow, in fact, Master Shi's approach also makes some sense, just imagine that most of these rice seeds are planted in the Ice and Snow Villa, if there is a mistake, wouldn't last year be in vain?" If it were handed over to the households, they would have requisitioned large tracts of fertile land and had special personnel to take care of them, and they were obviously more reliable than these farmers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Besides, although these hundreds of catties of rice seeds are not a lot this year, when it comes to harvesting, there will be tens of thousands of catties of rice seeds, and I am afraid that after another year, the court will have to take over. ”

Shi Bingxue was stunned when she heard this, and said busily: "Actually, I think the same way, sooner or later, this batch of rice seeds will be handed over to the household department for disposal." It's just that the finished rice seeds obtained last time have not been tested, and I don't know what the harvest will be, so I didn't think about ...... it right away" After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Actually, the **** dad suddenly asked about the rice seeds, I already felt a little strange, and I thought that someone would definitely meddle in this matter, who knew that they would actually seal the villa." ”

Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Although they have done a little too much, they have not done anything wrong. The Ice and Snow Mountain Villa is extremely unguarded, and at night only the housekeeper lives here, which is obviously not very safe. And the paddy fields here are extremely limited, so I'm afraid that the last batch of rice seeds will not be able to be planted all, right? ”

Shi Bingxue nodded and said, "That's the same." Last year, there were more than 300 catties of finished rice seeds, but because the paddy fields near the villa were extremely limited, in addition to all the seedlings of the father and mother, only more than 10 catties of finished rice seeds were used, and the rest were still in the warehouse. ”

Li Xiang smiled: "That's it, now that there is a household department to help, wouldn't it be a good thing?" ”

Shi Xun watched the two whispering on the side, not knowing what the two were discussing, and didn't pay too much attention to it, thinking that I was just on the emperor's order to properly dispose of the rice seeds, but whether the method was appropriate was another matter.

Li Xiang saw that Shi Bingxue had been a little moved, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly heard Shi Bingxue say: "It's just that they are really a bit excessive, just imagine that the people in the villa are all invited by me to help, and they won't steal the rice seedlings, why don't they let them go home?" ”

Li Xiang shook his head and said: "This is not clear, there must be a reason for the household department to do this, maybe the court has not decided whether to classify this batch of rice seeds as secret." Shi Bingxue heard an 'oh' and stopped talking.

Li Xiang looked at her face full of disappointment, and couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. I thought: Although Bing Xue is a woman, but what she did was for the entire people of the Great Song Dynasty, since I handed over the rice seeds to her, I naturally trusted her very much, and now the rice seeds are going to be taken back by the household department, I don't help her talk anymore, I'm afraid it will hurt her heart.

Li Xiang suddenly had an idea, turned to Shi Xun and said, "Master Shi, I have heard Bing Xue say that the cultivation method of this batch of rice seeds is extremely complicated, and it is not like ordinary rice seeds that can be planted again after harvesting. It is said that this new batch of rice varieties is obtained by crossing three varieties of rice, and is divided into maintenance lines, restorer lines, sterile lines, and the like, and the harvested rice varieties are divided into four types, except for the three lines just mentioned, the remaining one is the rice seed that can really be used for planting. In addition, once these rice seeds are harvested, the resulting rice cannot be used for planting again, so the rice seeds of the three lines must continue to be retained to breed the next generation of finished rice seeds. ”

Shi Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Xiang say so complicated, and suddenly remembered that Shi Bingxue had also mentioned some words like 'maintenance line' or 'sterile line' to himself, obviously what Li Xiang said was not alarmist.

Shi Bingxue suddenly said: "Yes, how did I forget this." He turned to Shi Xun again and smiled: "Second brother, since you want to fence this place, I can't help it." After harvesting, you can handle the classification and preservation of the four rice varieties, as well as the problems you encounter when planting them next time. It's just that if there is a mistake and the seeds that have been so hard collected are wasted, I'm afraid I won't be able to help. ”

Li Xiang said again: "By the way, Bing Xue, I remember hearing you say that you still need a breeding field and a farming field, and you need to use the wind to transport pollen, I don't know if I remember clearly?" ”

Shi Bingxue nodded and said, "Yes, only in this way can we get four kinds of rice seeds again, otherwise wouldn't this batch of excellent rice seeds be broken?" ”

Shi Xun listened to the two of them easily, and knew that what they said was true, so he suddenly lost his mind, and was about to ask Shi Bingxue again, but suddenly thought: Bingxue is angry now, and with her personality, I am afraid that she will not be able to ask anything at this time. He turned to Li Xiang and said with a smile: "Lord Li, since this rice seed is so troublesome to plant, I will ask Lord Li for more advice at that time." ”

Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Master Shi is polite, in fact, I don't know much about cultivating rice seeds, I just know some simple methods, as for the more detailed cultivation process, I'm afraid only Bing Xue knows about it." ”

Shi Xun listened to him keep calling 'ice and snow', and he didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but obviously this batch of rice seeds was not so easy to cultivate, otherwise how could he say that the yield per mu was a thousand catties?

Seeing this, Li Xiang thought to himself that although I helped Bing Xue speak, I couldn't go too far, this batch of rice seeds from Shi Shangshu is so important, it is obviously right to hand it over to him, and it is always better to have the court come forward than to make trouble. He also said: "Master Shi, in fact, I have a good idea to solve all the problems in one fell swoop, I wonder if Lord Shi is willing to listen to it?" ”

Shi Bingxue and Shi Xun asked in unison, "What's the idea?" ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "The process of cultivating rice seeds is extremely complicated, so there is no need to say more. However, after Master Shi got this batch of rice seedlings, how did he find the right person for planting and management? ”

"This ......" Shi Xun didn't expect that cultivating rice seeds would be so troublesome, and he had no idea for a while.

Li Xiang said again: "Looking at the number of rice seedlings in this batch, it is estimated that a large paddy field is also needed, and the rice seedlings need to be managed after they are planted." Since this kind of rice is so troublesome to grow, presumably Lord Shi can't find a suitable candidate for a while. Although these dozen or so people in the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa don't know much, they have already mastered some experience after all. Why don't you take advantage of these people? In this way, it can solve the manpower problem in front of them, and let these people stay in the villa with peace of mind, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Shi Xun was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly smiled: "Master Li really has a high opinion, since this is the case, he will incorporate these farmers into the household department." Recently, the Breeding Division has been established, and these farmers have been assigned to the Breeding Division. "I thought in my heart, although Master Li also understood that this matter was very important, but he always helped Bing Xue to speak, so it was inconvenient for me to brush off his meaning. Besides, since this batch of rice is so troublesome to grow, it is really difficult to find reliable candidates for the time being, and it is not impossible for these farmers to take care of it for the time being. If there are more suitable candidates in the future, they will be repatriated. (To be continued.) )
