36 Glass greenhouses

Fengfu almost requisitioned half of the glazed kilns in the north, and I don't know where they found the glaze masters, and it didn't take long for them to be fully activated.

Most of the shops on the streets of Xingcheng have been replaced with glass windows, which are transparent when you look at them, and there is an endless stream of large families who place orders every day, and even the carpenters who make window frames have increased their income a lot.

In this era, there is no plastic, no rubber, Luo Xiaoqiao can only think about glass greenhouses.

Why is she so obsessed with greenhouses?

Because the Northland produces so little food, the poor are largely on soybean and sorghum flour, just as their families did before. If there is a disaster year, there may be a tragic situation of changing children and eating. Luo Xiaoqiao didn't want to face these.

Only after solving the problem of food and clothing can we think about other things. High-yielding seeds are fundamental.

Xingcheng has little water, so it cannot grow rice, and it is suitable for growing wheat. Normal wheat is only one crop a year, but in the greenhouse, wheat breeding can be added to select improved varieties in the fastest time. That's what she insisted on.

But now it's summer, the greenhouse can't be used, the time is not in a hurry, take your time, and the production will take several months.

She carefully recalled that the main structure of the glass greenhouse she bought in her previous life was naturally tempered glass. Fengfu's glass has begun to be produced in large quantities, and this can basically be solved.

However, the greenhouse needs aluminum alloy profiles as supporting members, obviously, aluminum alloy is not available, and can only be replaced by iron, but iron is controlled.

The area of the greenhouse she wants to build is not small, and although the land she bought is wasteland, it can be used for breeding in potted plants. Anyway, glass doesn't cost her money, and she can cover as much as she can, so the massive use of iron is an unavoidable obstacle.

Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it and felt that it was necessary to do it once and for all. She wasn't sure what the attitude of the superior was, but it was always right to do the preparation ahead.

Early the next morning, she took the greenhouse structure diagram she had drawn, called Ming Yi and Ming Er, and went out.

In the morning of Xingcheng, the streets are still very lively, the sound of vendors and children's playing, is endless.

Luo Xiaoqiao carried his small satchel on his back, walked on two short legs, and walked through several streets and came to the mansion of Fengfu.

"Little girl, do you want to see King Jing?" A glimmer of light flashed in Feng Chenhao's eyes, changing his usual hanging.

"Hmm", Luo Xiaoqiao is not really twelve years old, so he naturally understands that if he doesn't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid that people won't be able to see it and say it, and it is unknown whether he can get out of the closed mansion.

"Second young master, I want to make a glass greenhouse, I need more ironware, I want King Jing to give special approval."

"Glass greenhouse? What is that? Feng Chenhao asked.

"It's a kind of glass house that can grow vegetables in winter," Luo Xiaoqiao said briefly.

"Can you grow vegetables in the winter?" Feng Chenhao obviously didn't believe it.

"Second young master, give it, you see", Luo Xiaoqiao took out the structural diagram he drawn, it was a row of neat houses, and the four walls and roofs were all made of glass.

"That's what you can grow in winter?" , Feng Chenhao asked suspiciously.

"Second young master, you've been installing glass windows for quite some time, I don't know if you noticed that if you don't open the windows, the room will get very hot?" Luo Xiaoqiao said slowly.

"So what?" Feng Chenhao frowned, still a little puzzled.

"Then have you ever thought about why the crops in the north don't grow as long as in the south of the Yangtze River?" Luo Xiaoqiao continued.

"It's because of the bitter cold in the north, and the crops don't grow well", Feng Chenhao somewhat understood.

"That's right, a big reason why I can't grow crops well in the north is that the climate in the north is cold, the light is insufficient, and the heat needed for the growth of crops is not enough."

"So you're going to solve this problem with a glass house?" Feng Chenhao frowned.

"Are you sure you can keep warm in such a thin glass house?"

Luo Xiaoqiao: "Second Young Master, you have to try everything, you are a rich family, and you have never tasted hunger."

We have one acre of wheat, and when the year is good, we will collect three or four stones of grain, and after paying taxes, there is not much left, if we don't do some small business, we can't eat enough at all, and the feeling of hunger is really too uncomfortable.

I wondered, if I could grow it in the winter, wouldn't I go hungry? ”

"Are you sure?" Feng Chenhao asked.

"No, but I have to try before I can give up," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"Okay, you come with me", Luo Xiaoqiao's pleading eyes made Feng Chenhao soften for a while, but after saying this, he regretted it a little.

Although the little girl has brought them a lot of benefits, this skill is too weird, and they have to be guarded against, it is a little inappropriate for him to bring people over like this.

Feng Chenhao was staring at Luo Xiaoqiao melancholy all the way, he liked to listen to Luo Xiaoqiao dreaming so much, every time he could get his blood boiling, he even forgot to bring his brain today, how could he agree to her.

At this moment, his mind went back and forth, and for a while he wanted to regret it directly, and for a while he wanted to see the greenhouse that Luo Xiaoqiao said, in case it really came true.

Complex and contradictory thoughts were tumbling in my head, and the road passed very quickly, and I arrived at King Jing's mansion in a short time.

He and Luo Xiaoqiao are still friendly and cooperative on the surface, and they are all in place, so naturally it is not good to tear their faces, so they can only go in hard.

At this time, Mu Jingyi, who was cold and solemn, was talking to Lou Yan, and there was a gust of wind in the courtyard, and when they heard the sound of footsteps, they all stopped and looked up at the door.

"Er Shao, why are you here?" Wei Yuanzhi also walked over from the observation deck and greeted him cordially, obviously in a very good mood.

"Uh", Feng Chenhao scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "I'll bring someone here and tell you a story."

Mu Jingyi glanced at him coldly, and Feng Chenhao suddenly took three steps back: "Hey, cousin, you listen first"

"Say", a deep and magnetic voice sounded, Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't help but look up at this King Jing, he was really sword-eyed, extremely handsome, and he had an aura like ice cubes all over his body, which made people dare not approach.

"Say it", Mu Jingyi picked up a towel, wiped his sweat casually, and sat down.

"The little girl said she wanted to grow vegetables in the winter." Feng Chenhao gave a brief introduction.

Wei Yuanzhi's eyes lit up first: "Girl, what you said is true?" Can you really farm in the winter? ”

"It's hard to say about farming, after all, I haven't tried it yet, and the cost is too high, but vegetables, I want to try."

"How sure are you?" Mu Jingyi asked, the lack of food is indeed a sharp blade hanging over their heads.

"Seventy or eighty, after all, you can't plant anything in winter, you can also have bean sprouts in the house, but you can't get sunlight, and they don't grow big, if it's a glass house, I think it will be better", Luo Xiaoqiao didn't exaggerate.

Mu Jingyi smiled faintly, this ice cube was really dazzling when he laughed, and there was actually a small dimple on his left cheek, even Luo Xiaoqiao felt that his heart was a little unbearable.

"Okay, the iron will be issued to you, let Feng Er follow up the whole process"

Mu Jingyi's simplicity made Luo Xiaoqiao a little sideways, this is a man who does big things, and he is decisive in killing.

Before Luo Xiaoqiao could finish admiring in his heart, Mu Jingyi continued:

"I have a Zhuangzi here, and my people will come to learn glass greenhouses with you, and you take them to do it together. This winter, I hope to be able to harvest a crop of wheat. ”

What should I do if an MMP wants to give it to him? Luo Xiaoqiao decided to retract his previous appreciation. This is a typical kind of creature that "why not eat minced meat".

But in this northern land, food is extremely scarce, not to mention, even if the whole of Great Chu has no dream of hunger in the world, no emperor has ever achieved it.

The high-cost greenhouse, compared with the harvest of grain, King Jing chooses grain.

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid not"

"Oh? Why? Mu Jingyi glanced at her, "Didn't you say that you can plant?" ”

"Wheat needs to overwinter, and now there is no way to artificially create a low-temperature environment to make wheat "vernal", so no matter how bad the greenhouse is, it can't go against the sky."

"What is vernalization?" Wei Yuanzhi added.

"Usually we grow wheat during the white dew season, spend the winter and harvest it in the summer. Wheat sleeps in winter, and it can only grow if it is lifted from sleep, and it is called vernalization when it is relieved of sleep. ”

In order to get more support from the superiors, Luo Xiaoqiao thought for a while and continued:

"Xingcheng is drought, so we can only grow wheat. I've heard that Spring City is watery, but the rice has not grown well, probably because the summer is too short. I wondered if it would be better for rice to grow if I could raise seedlings in a greenhouse and transplant them for a long time. ”

"So, you mean, you won't be able to give an inconclusive result until next year, huh?" Mu Jingyi was a little disappointed.

"No, no, Lord Wang, you can see this winter that vegetables can really grow. If you can find some other seeds, you can also give them a try. ”

"Then do it first, you have something to say to Feng Er", Mu Jingyi did not hesitate for too long, and said decisively, glass is just a hope, no loss.

Seeing it today, Luo Xiaoqiao has some confidence in the future, or at least in this King Jing. Not to mention anything else, if you have courage, be decisive, and have a long-term vision, you should be able to protect the people.
