Chapter 649: Champa Rice (Third Update)
Du Jinning shook his head and did not speak.
She is fifteen years old, and she has begun to develop slowly, and her chest has changed from the airport to a small steamed bun. Three years later, she was eighteen years old, and she didn't know what she would become. Seeing that Chen and her three sisters are not flat-chested, and their bodies are uneven, she is not much worse than if she thinks about it. In addition to this, there are beards and so on.
She now has delicate skin, a small skeleton, and no beard, which can be explained as her young age. In a few years, no matter how well she covers it up, I'm afraid it will be easy to show clues.
So she didn't have time to spend here, she had to do what she wanted to do as soon as possible.
Qi Muyuan saw that she didn't say anything, and his eyes darkened.
They all talked about each other, and they never seemed to be secrets to each other. Now that Du Jinning has something in his heart, he is reluctant to tell him, he is a little hurt.
Du Jinning saw him like this, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
She didn't want to lie to Qi Muyuan, and she couldn't tell the truth, so let's just leave it at that, a misunderstanding is a misunderstanding.
……
Du Jinning's life in the Hanlin Academy was comfortable, but Zhuang Yue outside was miserable, busy hitting the back of his head with his heel.
Because Du Jinning had to ask Zhao Yu before deciding whether to write a script or not, and to what extent, he only started writing two days ago. Even though she wrote the script very quickly, it was still the 28th when the manuscript was delivered.
Although movable type printing has long appeared, it is not mature enough, and the cost of printing is too high; Du Jinning's script is in great demand, and it is cost-effective to print it with engraving. Regardless of movable type printing or engraving printing, it has to be typeset or engraved, and it can't be rushed out in a day or two.
Therefore, although the printing workshop had stopped all other businesses and transferred skilled people from other places, it still failed to print the fifth volume of "Farming Notes" on the morning of the first day of the new year.
Seeing that the second lunar month is coming to an end, March is coming, and spring ploughing is about to begin, those who want to know what new tricks there are in the new volume of "Farming Records" are impatient, and as early as the evening of the 30th, they called their families to line up.
When the book shop opened in the morning, the guys were startled, and the long line went from street to street, and it seemed that many people continued to join the line.
The printing workshop has printed some books, but they haven't bound them yet!
Zhuang Yue received the report from the guys, and hurriedly came over from the printing workshop, asking the guys to persuade the people in line to disperse first, and wait for the book to be bound and shipped over before coming to the queue.
But the front of the queue has been lined up for a few hours, and I heard that the book is being bound, and I don't have to wait long, so I don't want to disperse.
So the shopkeepers tried a lot of persuasion, but when they saw that the line was still as long as before, they had to give up.
Zhuang Yue had to go back to the printing workshop to urge the book.
At about noon, the first batch of books was finally bound, and Zhuang Yue had people quickly pull them in horse-drawn carts, distribute them to several bookstores, and start selling. But when this batch of books was sold, the queue was not short but long, so he had to continue to urge the printing workshop not to stop.
Guo Bai, as an iron fan of "Farming", naturally sent someone to guard the door of the bookstore last night; His group of friends also learned their lesson and were in the same tune as Guo Bai. So they were the first to buy scripts.
A few people were still waiting in the restaurant, and they read the book as soon as they got it.
Although the plot of the script is very attractive, several people went to the planting technique, so they saw it quickly, and they saw it at a glance.
Guo Bai's eyes were still sharp, and when he turned to a certain page, he shouted: "Found it." ”
"How many pages?" The others hurriedly asked.
"Eighteen pages. Here we talk about the problem of double cropping rice. ”
When they heard that it was double cropping rice, everyone's spirits were uplifted, and they quickly opened the book and read what was written on it.
Guo Bai has already read it: "It is said here that 'the seeds are not good, and the harvest is difficult to guarantee', if you want to plant double-cropping rice, you must first choose the rice seeds." Ordinary rice is not very cold-resistant, and it is difficult to harvest if planted too early. Therefore, it is necessary to choose rice varieties with strong cold resistance and short planting period. ”
"Is there such a rice seed?" Someone doubted, "If there were such rice seeds, wouldn't we have planted them a long time ago?" If not, wouldn't what is said in this book be in vain? ”
The others nodded in agreement.
The book says that no matter how good a certain rice seed is, there is no one in reality, so it can only be seen as a book. If "Farming" had become just a book of pure words, it would not have been worth asking their subordinates to queue up overnight to buy it.
"Hey, don't worry. It is said here that the book only describes the appearance of the rice.,What is the name of the rice?,The male protagonist doesn't know.。 He's going to find it. Guo Bai said and began to flip down quickly.
Before he could find it, the other cried out: "Found it, found it." Page 39, let's turn to page 39. ”
Everyone turned the book to page 39 in an uproar, and sure enough, they saw that the male protagonist had bought a rice seed called Champa rice from a certain foot merchant, which was very similar to the description in the book. And this rice got its name because it came from the Champa country. It is early, early-maturing, drought-tolerant, and fine-grained, so it is also called "early occupation", "early rice" or "early occupation of the city". This kind of rice is planted together with late rice, and double cropping rice can also be grown in this area of Jiangxi.
"Do we have this rice here? If not, wouldn't that be coaxing? "Master Li is worried.
"The book says that this kind of rice was planted in Fujian and the two vast areas as early as the reign of Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu."
Guo Bai put down the book and said worriedly: "But do we have this kind of rice seed for sale here?" Fujian and Liangguang can send people to buy it, and I am not too far away, but the book says that early rice must be sown in early March and planted in late March. When I bought the seeds, the daylilies were cold. ”
"What then?"
Master Li slapped the book on his hand: "Have you found it, although this author publishes a book in January, the content of what he writes is detained." We don't believe in regenerative rice, so there are few people who plant it; Although there are not many seeds to sell in green manure, they can be planted in a variety of ways, but they have to start early. Now he writes about Champa rice, which has a nose and eyes, and the male protagonist still bought it from a foot merchant. Why don't we send people to search for it, maybe we can buy rice seeds. And this matter has to be done quickly. The whole city is looking for Champa rice, and if it is a little slower, it will be gone. ”
When everyone heard it, they were anxious: "It makes sense, it makes sense." Now we are taking advantage of the fact that many people have not bought the book and have not seen this content, so we hurriedly started to look for rice seeds. ”
So they sent their men home, called all the male servants, and went around the city.
Originally, at this time, Zhuang Yue sent people to hoard a batch of Champa rice seeds, and he would definitely be able to make a windfall. But he kept Du Jinning's words in mind, knowing that many people would look for Zhancheng rice seeds everywhere after reading the script, he didn't move, and went to Lu's house in person and told Lu Xiaobei about Du Jinning's concerns. He was worried that Lu Xiaobei saw the opportunity to make a fortune slip through his fingers in vain, but Du Jinning didn't remind him to make this money, and there was a rift between the two.
