68 Mobilize the masses
"How do I find it? What are the features? You asked.
"When you wait for the wheat to bloom, look carefully, the wheat normally after flowering, the glume shell will automatically close and set seeds, but the sterile line of wheat will always open. Finding this, we're halfway there. If you find it, put a cloth bag on it immediately to stop foreign pollen. ”
"Good!" You Shen said, "I will definitely look for it."
After I go back, I have to report to the prince, for this, I have to grow more winter wheat this year, and maybe there will be a greater probability of discovering this species.
Wheat hybrid breeding, in fact, is extremely difficult, even in the modern era where Luo Xiaoqiao once lived, from scratch, it has gone through about eight years.
Now, although it has stepped on the shoulders of giants, and there is a greenhouse compression time, it will not take such a long cycle.
But everything will not be officially opened until the "barnyard is found".
This time is uncertain. But no matter what, Luo Xiaoqiao must work hard in the established direction, do his best, and obey the destiny of heaven.
Therefore, after the harvest of the melon field, the land was already empty, and she asked Grandpa Luo to buy a flower pot and plant wheat into the pot.
Luo Xiaoqiao is not from an agricultural background, she knows the general method of hybridization, but how to do it specifically, she needs to practice, so the winter wheat she planted is also an excellent opportunity for her to practice.
What Luo Xiaoqiao thought was that whether she could find the "wild barnyard or not", at least she had made good preparations.
In case of luck, it appears in the first year and is not caught off guard.
"Uncle You", Luo Xiaoqiao seemed to feel that the stimulation for him was not big enough, and continued to throw a pie out.
"I mentioned to the prince before that there is a lot of water in Chuncheng, so you can raise seedlings in the greenhouse and grow rice in Chuncheng. This may be more immediate than wheat breeding."
"Can you really grow rice?" You Shen was a little incredulous. King Jing once forced the people of the north to plant rice, but the harvest was not as good as wheat, so he gave up.
"Yes, rice doesn't grow well in the north because the temperature is too short. If you let the rice seedlings in the greenhouse for a long time and transplant them, you can solve this problem. Luo Xiaoqiao is still very confident in this.
"What will happen to the harvest?" You Shen still didn't believe it.
"Let's put it this way, when we used to plant rice, we sprinkled the seeds in the ground, and before the rice matured, the summer in the north would pass. But if you let the rice grow for a while in the greenhouse, the summer time will be enough, and the yield must be stronger than planting wheat. And after the rice is harvested, there will be time to plant another crop," Luo Xiaoqiao explained.
You Shen was convinced: "Okay, how to do it, you tell me, I'll arrange it." ”
Wheat breeding is a long-term solution, but rice cultivation can solve the food crisis that burns the eyebrows, and it is especially clear.
"Well, after a while, it's not time yet, and I'll call you over when it's time." Luo Xiaoqiao said.
Today's trip can be regarded as quite a success. Regardless of whether the big cake painted by Luo Xiaoqiao can be realized or not, at least there is a direction, and if there is a direction, there will be a rush to work hard.
Luo Jinrong, who was on the side, couldn't interject his mouth, but listened to them very carefully.
Although it feels a little incredible for Luo Xiaoqiao to do such a "rebellious" thing, this is a hope and an excellent thing.
Rice they don't want to go, there is no water. But wheat, he really raised his hands in favor.
Anyway, the Northland doesn't grow long in winter, and the ground is empty and empty.
The greenhouse is nothing more than a need for warmth, and they have the strength to help pick up firewood in the mountain, and it is not a waste of money.
So Luo Jinrong didn't say much.
Instead, when he was going back, he went door-to-door to tell the villagers, hoping that when they planted their crops next year, they would help to keep an eye out for sterile lines of wheat.
There is great strength in numbers, and no matter how slim the hope is, once the majority of people do it, there will always be a time to realize it.
In fact, if King Jing is willing to give an order in this matter, and promises heavy profits, the effect is the best.
But the Northland is not the Northland he said alone. The officials of the household department, as well as those pro-court families, do not necessarily want to see things change the status quo.
Therefore, Luo Xiaoqiao analyzed in private that he did not move, and secretly helped each other, which would make this matter less resistant.
After all, no one would believe a little girl's words. If you don't believe it, you won't destroy it in the first place, and it will buy her more time.
However, the bait that should be thrown to King Jing has been thrown, and it depends on what he does.
Luo Xiaoqiao is ready to be a skilled worker, just concentrate on doing what she can do, and hope that the big guys don't pay attention to her.
"Grandpa the village chief", Luo Xiaoqiao's words also interrupted Luo Jinrong's train of thought.
"Little Joe, what's the matter? You say", Luo Jinrong looked at the little girl lovingly.
"Grandpa the village chief, look, who in our village has sheep? I want to collect some wool. Luo Xiaoqiao said.
Now that we've negotiated the cotton today, let's finalize the wool together by the way.
If Old Man Wang's loom is ready, not only cotton weaving, but also a woolen sweater for her family.
This is another way to get rich.
"The wool smells big, what do you want to do there?" Luo Jinrong asked.
"I have to keep this secret first, because I haven't figured it out yet, and when I really succeed, I'll tell you as soon as possible", Luo Xiaoqiao said playfully.
"You girl", Luo Jinrong thought for a while and said, "We really don't have any in our village, but Mr. Hu has a lot in the village, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, Xiao Qiao, there are a lot of sheep in our village, all for milk and meat, and the wool that fades every year is thrown away", Mr. Teaching hurriedly followed.
"That's great, Mr. Hu, see if you can take Sun Dianfu over to collect it, and I'll give you a small tool to shave your wool," Luo Xiaoqiao said.
"It's not cold yet, so it shouldn't freeze the sheep, but be careful not to shave the fur, and shave it again in late winter and early spring. I pay ten cents for a pound of wool, and I can collect as much as I can. ”
"Hiss~", Mr. Hu gasped a little, just that pile of wool that no one wants to deal with, and it can be sold for ten cents, this villager must be willing.
"Okay, I'll take Steward Sun over, you can wait", Mr. Hu agreed in a hurry.
Luo Jinrong said that Luo Xiaoqiao was looking for "wild barnyard trees", and the village was about to explode again.
The villagers couldn't see Luo Xiaoqiao, so they blocked the village chief at the door and didn't let him go.
"Jin Rong, did Xiao Qiao really say that? Is there a way to make wheat high? The hunchbacked old man, staring at Luo Jinrong with a pair of dim eyes, looked incredulous.
"What Xiao Qiao said, just try, it may not work, everyone will help find it when the time comes. If you can't make it, don't complain," Luo Jinrong said.
"Xiao Qiao, this girl, I want to come out of it, for so many years, we have always used this wheat seed, and I have never heard of a high yield." It was Aunt Liu who spoke.
Since Luo Xinkang's family moved over, they can be regarded as the people who have found the root of their tongues, and the two families always have to comment on the big and small things in Luo Xiaoqiao's family.
For Luo Xiaoqiao's search for wheat "barnyard grass", it is also extremely ridiculous.
Especially the Niu family, his mouth is even more unclean. After Mrs. Luo was frightened by Feng Chenhao last time, she lay down after returning home, and she still hasn't gotten up to get up on the kang, and she has to be served by the Niu family when she eats, drinks and Lasa, so the Niu family hates Luo Xiaoqiao's family to the core.
But other villagers are different, what Luo Xiaoqiao has done in the past half a year has made them have a deep sense of trust in this little girl.
Since Xiao Qiao said that it was possible, they believed it, and once it was realized, it was closely related to improving their lives, and everyone secretly made up their minds to help find it in the coming year.
There are even those who are warm-hearted, and let relatives and friends help them find it together.
