It doesn't seem to work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info', between the fields, the rice waves rippled, a breeze lightly bowed slightly to get rice, raising a wave of waves. Rice is the staple food of the Chinese, or rather, the staple food of the economically developed southern region. Unlike wheat, wheat stands tall and tall when it is ripe, with its head held high to the sky. And rice, the fuller it is, the more humble it is, and it is really like the personality of the Chinese, low-key, modest, and unassuming.

However, the rice in the field does not grow well, and it sells very poorly. The rice grains are small and the ears are few, and although it has not yet reached the maturity stage, the harvest is not good. Looking at a young official in the field, he sighed.

Well, this matter of improving the breed is not a day or two, and besides, in any case, it grows relatively quickly, and the results have come out. It does grow fast, and the seedlings planted at the same time next to it are still growing, and the seedlings have already set ears.

The young official took out a notebook, carefully recorded the growth of this rice, packed up his mood, took out a pocket watch and looked at it, and when the time was almost up, he turned his head and walked towards another field.

As you can see from the side, it reads the growth record of the three-year hybrid rice of the large and medium-sized type. If you look closely, you can see that a lot of things have been written on it, and the latest year is the record of ten years in college.

This is hybrid rice. But don't get me wrong, this is not the kind of high-yield rice in later generations, Li Chen's soul came through, but he didn't carry a plug-in with him, there were no hybrid rice seeds, and there were no potatoes, no corn, and no sweet potatoes.

But it doesn't matter if you don't have it, if you don't have it, you can do it yourself, do it yourself, and have enough food and clothing. This kind of hybrid rice is the Zhancheng rice introduced by Li Chen. It was the kind of upland rice that was widely planted in the Song Dynasty a hundred years later, with a fast growth cycle and drought resistance.

However, despite its advantages, this rice grows quickly and is resistant to drought. But there are also many shortcomings. The first one has a bad taste and people don't like to eat it. Secondly, the yield is low, and the yield of planting this kind of rice on the same acre of land is much less than that of planting other types. Finally, it is not resistant to preservation, and Datang planted more millet before, which can be stored for 20 years without damage. And the same rice, which grows slowly, can also be stored for five or six years. But this kind of rice is only two or three years.

Because of the many shortcomings, Li Chen introduced this kind of rice a long time ago, and did not start to promote it, but began to cultivate varieties suitable for the climate of the Tang Dynasty.

On the one hand, it is continuously cultivated in various places to see if it can produce varieties with high yields. Planting in different places, so that the rice can gradually adapt to the climate of Datang, and see if the yield will be greater after adapting to the climate. On the other hand, it is constantly cross-cultivated with other varieties of rice in Datang.

This kind of thing is a test of patience. It is constantly time-consuming, selecting rice with its own characteristics, and carrying out hybridization and mixed planting. When it will come to fruition, I don't know. It can only take time, generation after generation to select the best seeds, to meet their own needs, to cultivate.

This is a long-term task, it is difficult to produce results, there is no patience, or the desire for fame is too victorious, and it is impossible to stay. Li Chen provided a method to treat rice as a horse, to be diligent in recording, generation after generation of records, experimental rice must be a hybrid of which rice. Li Chen's only regret is that he doesn't know what kind of hybrid rice was mixed with rice back then, so he can only spend time accumulating.

However, even if he remembers, it is useless, the rice varieties of the Tang Dynasty are not the same as those of modern times, although there are likely to be in the Tang Dynasty, but it is also possible that they are mixed with varieties that only appeared in later generations. He doesn't bother with that. Rather than worrying about not remembering this, it is better to look forward to the return of the American Fleet.

"Zhang Tieniu, I heard that your youngest son has entered a technical school. The young Guan Yuan walked to his destination, where many farmers had now gathered, all of whom had gathered in twos and threes with acquaintances, talking about something.

Yes, this kid has been studying for a few years, and there is no hope for the imperial examination, and he can't remember those things. But I finally knew a few words, and I was finally admitted to the technical school. He was called Zhang Tieniu's man, with a proud face.

"Congratulations, if you are admitted to a technical school, you will not have good food and clothing in the future, unlike us, you still have to dig in the fields." "Isn't it, when you come out of a technical school, your future is guaranteed." Be a technician, how stable it is. "In the future, when he takes a vacation, he can help repair the farming machinery in our fields." "Yes, yes, those machinery in the farmer's society, if you want to repair anything, you don't need to find a technician." ''I've heard that he wants to build a factory.' When your son graduates, he will be able to work as a technician in his factory. ’

'A million cows are not bad, but if that grandson is a grandson, he would rather not do it than enter his factory. 'Sun Tzu is another rich man here, but he is stingy and stingy, he used to lend money in the township, the high interest rate is terrible, very annoying, everyone hates him, and they dare not do anything to him, his family is powerful, and they are the only ones who suffer in the conflict, and everyone can only take advantage of it verbally, and do not call him by his name, but always call him grandson.

When others heard this, they all congratulated Zhang Tieniu, and now his son has a future. Only one man sighed heavily, 'Alas, my son, I would rather him stay in the field and dig for food.' ’

'Fang kidnapper, your son is good, it's glorious to be a soldier, my son is talented, alas, I don't know what to say, I'd rather my son go to the army.' Fang, Fang crutche, surnamed Fang, but when he was a child, he broke his leg, causing his leg to be a little lame.

"The navy is also a soldier, and after retiring, the future is also good, and the income from running ships is good." People are more than called, and his son also pointed out that he became an army, and his son entered the navy.

"Running a boat, how dangerous it is, you can tell me, my ancestors have been farmers for three generations, how did they want to run on the water like this." It's good to be an infantry army, but a farmer is not a navy, and this sea is more dangerous than water and river.

'Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it's useless for you to worry.' ''The next time you come back, you will cripple his leg like a square crutch, and then he will not be able to go out to sea.'' ''Alas, I said you, where did I offend you with my lame legs.'' Hearing Lu Tietou complaining, the topic was torn apart at once, some were comforted, and some were taken to open the crutches.

Technical schools are emerging schools in recent years, and they teach some technology. With the increasing use of machinery in Datang over the years, there is more and more demand for people who can manufacture, maintain and repair machinery. In addition, there are also businessmen who need to be able to keep accounts, and iron factories that need to rise, all of which need talents.

Bookkeeping, Li Chen promoted the re-examination bookkeeping. Datang currently uses four-column knot accounting. This method of accounting is divided into old management, new collection, dismissal, and reality. The old management is the balance of the previous period, the new income is the income of the current period, and the dismissal is the expenditure of the current period, which is really the balance.

Compared with the retest bookkeeping, this method is of course a little behind. So Li Chen began to promote his re-examination bookkeeping. Before the imperial court began to implement it, the people were much faster than the imperial court, and immediately began to use this more advanced accounting method. Then, there is a large number of people who need to be in bookkeeping.

In addition, under the promotion of Li Chen, coal stoves appeared, which made the demand for blacksmiths very strong. In addition, in order to lay railways in the future, Li Chen vigorously developed iron ore, which made Datang's iron production explode.

He didn't remember much about the silver and copper mines in Datang, but he did. This kind of thing can't always rely on imports, the demand is too great, and the value can't go up, if iron is as expensive as copper, then few people can afford it.

Therefore, vigorously developing Datang iron ore is his first choice, and he has developed many large iron ores in later generations. The large increase in Datang's iron production, coupled with Li Chen's vigorous promotion of commerce and trade, further stimulated the demand for various iron utensils.

Li Chen promoted commerce and trade, first of all, the Silk Road, because Longxi had to be recovered and reopened. Originally, it had not been obtained, but the year before last, Zhang Yichao led the army to recover the four towns of Anxi. The military power of the Tang Dynasty re-descended on the four towns of Anxi, and the Silk Road was opened again.

Then there were the steppes, and many caravans began to try to get out of the fortress and trade with the nomads. Finally, there is the Silk Road by sea. Tianfang people don't look down on the iron products of the Tang Dynasty, but in many small countries along the road, especially some princely states in Southeast Asia, iron utensils are still very popular.

Finally, there is agriculture and animal husbandry, Li Chen needs a large number of literate talents, because he vigorously promotes animal husbandry and develops agriculture, so he also needs a lot of manpower. At present, there are still many agricultural officials in Datang who have not been established, and a large number of veterinarians will be needed in the future, so this kind of related department has also been established.

All of the above makes Datang urgently need talents. Li Chen asked the Department of Education to start promoting vocational schools. Let students who have gone to elementary school, or other literacy, have a way to rise. Because of the needs of all parties, these students will soon be admitted to a business firm after graduating in two years, so that many parents also regard this as a good way out.

You can't take the imperial examination, you can't dig in the field, and you have to get a fixed salary every day. You don't have to look at the sky to eat, it's also a good way out. And agriculture and animal husbandry is also a good choice.

'Alas, why is there a fight, I have to fight on the grassland, and it has been lively there lately. Seeing that the crutches were about to fight with people, someone hurriedly persuaded them.

'Yes, you have to fight on the grassland if you have the ability. The others hurriedly set the two of them apart and changed the topic. Recently, the northern grassland of Datang has been very lively, which is the news brought by the Datang newspaper.

Why did the fight start, it involved a lot. However, it is Li Chen who made it. The Shanxi people have benefited, and the Pine Desert Governor's Mansion, which has disappeared for a long time, has been re-established.

Originally, the leader of Shanxi has always been the head of the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion, and the Rao Le Du Governor's Mansion has always existed, and the Song Mo Governor's Mansion has left its name in vain after Anshi. Now, Li Yanzhu, the leader of Shanxide, was appointed by Li Chen and concurrently led the Songmo Governor's Mansion. At this moment, Xi is not only safe, but also has greatly increased its power.

Originally, after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the Xi Department was declining, and the Khitan had overridden Xi and had been oppressed by the Khitan. Now, the strength of the Khitan has been greatly damaged, and Xi has been canonized by the Tang Dynasty, so it is strange not to take the opportunity to take revenge.

Originally, Xi didn't have the courage to do this. However, the Khitan was greatly weakened. Datang directly divided the Khitan hairpin into two. Since the two of you are not compatible, Li Chen directly split the two departments in the name of mediation. Now, the Khitan is having a lot of fun.

Hearing the news on the spot, Xi Erzhi and Yun Deshi almost fainted. No one can be happy, whether they are true or false, it doesn't matter, they were dismantled by the Tang Dynasty into left and right Khitans, and now it will be a big trouble.

Not only the split, such as the Murwei and the Jin Ya tribes, were warned by the Tang Dynasty that they must release the people who had been taken captive by the Tang Dynasty, but on the other hand, they all gained benefits, the Tang Dynasty would send caravans to trade with them, exchange their wool, and sell them many daily necessities that they lacked before, such as salt, tea, cloth, ironware, etc.

Among them, iron tools are the most important, and Datang actually sold them many sharp knives and strong armor. It's the kind of armor that looks the same as Datang, shiny, and unusually strong. As a result, the Khitan fell into the frieze. Datang didn't sell it to them at all, saying that the Khitan was not loyal enough and they were banned from selling.

As a result, the hard days of the Khitan came, and they became the target of bullying by several tribes, and they relied on the fast knives and armor they bought from the Tang Dynasty to bully the Khitans. Although the Khitan struggled to resist, the strength of the Khitan was greatly damaged, and it was very difficult to resist in front of the tribes supported by the Tang Dynasty.

This is the reason why the grassland is lively, the Khitan is besieged by the tribes, this is not important, although the Khitan was split into two, but in fact the relationship between the two is still very close, although the strength is greatly damaged, the two get together, or can give the other departments a lesson, blow them to their arrogance. Although several of them have bought the excellent armor of the Tang Dynasty, the strength of the Khitan is there, even if it is weakened, it is not comparable to these parts.

The reason why they are arrogant is that they dare not do this when they bully the Khitan. Because Datang may be out of the jam at any time. There are about 20,000 troops stationed on the border, eyeing each other, although nominally speaking, to protect the Xi Department from the Khitan invasion, and to protect the safety of the Tang grassland caravan, but everyone knows that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, so that the Khitan does not dare to gather troops to fight back, for fear that the nest will be copied by the Tang Dynasty after the attack one day.

The only one who didn't bully the Khitan was probably the Bohai Kingdom. This is also what the newspaper introduced, Bohai is no better than the Khitans, yes, they have not been split by the Tang Dynasty. It's just that...

'Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting for a long time. The young official greeted the gathered people with a smile on his face, and when he saw that the main man was coming today, everyone greeted him in a chaotic manner, and he had a good impression of this young official, which was the most common official they had ever seen, and he was closer than the county magistrate. Often, they are recruited several times a year, but each time they do it willingly.

As for what happened in the Bohai Sea, see the next breakdown.
