Of course, Chongzhen is not idle these days, after all, the tide of history has not changed direction, the Ming Dynasty still has only a few eighteen years left, before the arrival of that tragic day in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, every minute and every second, everything must be contended.

On the eve of the Ningjin War, most of the crops, whether newly introduced or traditional, were harvested.

But in a small sunny col deep in the Black Mountains, there is still a large experimental field.

No matter how vicious Jiannu is, it is impossible to hollow out the entire Black Mountain, after all, people are here to attack the city, not to read the mythical story of the Han family's "Yugong Moves the Mountain" and come to help.

So Chongzhen took Ji Lingji, who was still the supervisor of Guanning, into the mountain col to carefully investigate the growth and harvest of new crops, as well as the ability to adapt to the land of Liaodong.

The most important thing is to select the best ones for the next year's seedlings.

"It's called the preferred variety." "Animals and plants, like humans, are not adapted to the soil and water, so we need to try to breed new varieties that are better and more suitable for the black soil and the rest of the Chinese soil." ”

During this period of time, Ji Gonggong lowered his profile and devoted himself to research, as if he had already regarded himself as an expert in the field of new crop promotion and planting, and even Xu Guangqi, who pioneered this way, was confident that he would be green in this way.

After all, what Xu Guangqi needs to learn is the entire Western study, not the one who specializes in this way.

"Although there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is also a specialization in the art industry, and that's it." Gonggong Ji has thought so proudly countless times, feeling that the value of his life as a eunuch has far surpassed that of Wei Zhongxian, who aimed at Zhao Gao.

But Gonggong Ji can swear that he has never seen someone like Huang Chongzhen.

Obviously, he didn't do anything, but his knowledge of new crops is broader and deeper than that of an expert.

Sometimes it goes on and on, and it goes into simple terms; Sometimes it's concise and to the point.

It often allows him to think about the problems he has been thinking about for a long time.

It was also this boy, who is said to be only 18 years old, who led him to the landmark research direction of "selecting the best seedlings and planting seeds according to the soil".

"Teach students according to their aptitude." Ji Yong has never been able to forget the word that Chongzhen inadvertently mentioned.

"The selection of the imperial court is immutable, can you still teach according to your aptitude? How much effort does that take! Whatever, the old man can't participate in such a high-end thing as the selection of scholars, but farming can still be within his ability. ”

Ji Gonggong was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and he had mixed feelings.

But the young man at the foot of Changbai Mountain seemed to have done a trivial thing, and he didn't even realize that he had benefited others a lot, so he lowered his body again, put an angular face almost tightly on the soil, and once again devoted himself to the observation and study of the root system of the new crop.

"You see, this corn has a fibrous root system, and some crops have a straight root system. What is a straight root system and what crops are there? For example, tomatoes, soybeans, dandelions, and peach trees that have escaped, all of them.

What is a tomato? Haven't I introduced such a good crop in Huaxia yet? Okay, this is my responsibility, I will write a letter to the teacher and Brother Gu.

Sweet potatoes belong to the root system, you see that he said that there are large pieces and pieces, is it very appropriate to name them? Young man, I appreciate your ability to learn and receptive.

You say that potatoes also belong to the root system? Boy, my ability to draw inferences is not bad, but I'm sorry, potatoes are tubers, and they are still perverted stems. What do you call perverted, hehe, this is a long story. ”

Considering the cognitive ability of this group of Ming natives, the explanation is very simple, and it still belongs to the nine shallow and one deep style, and the "young men", including Ji Yong, nodded frequently.

The reason why Shigejin pays so much attention to the root system of plants is because, as far as he knows, whether crops can adapt to the new soil or not is very dependent on the root system.

After all, the root system is the key to the plant's absorption of nutrients, just like the grass clothes guard in Liaodong, only by taking deep roots, can a series of spy missions be carried out smoothly and arduously. Instead of being like Jinyiwei, he was uprooted when he sneaked into a batch, and then he simply gave up the vast white mountains and black waters.

"You see, these are the vine seedlings cultivated by the sweet potatoes that Gu Tongying's eldest brother brought from Jiangnan to Liaodong several years ago and tried to grow in Liaoyang, Guanning and other places.

And these are the vine seedlings that my teacher Yuan Gong recently brought from Jiangnan through Haidao, and this is the first trial planting. You've all found out, haven't you? The former, whether it is vine leaves or roots, is much more lush and developed than the latter.

The production status of crops is not only related to the root system, but also to the degree of luxuriance of the branches and leaves.

But in this world, only green plants can combine sunlight for photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, and promote their own growth.

What is photosynthesis, are you stupid or not, didn't I make it very clear? Then I'll say it again. What? You still don't understand? Well, what a bunch of hammers. In our Liaodong, the hammer is not a curse, right?

In fact, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, the people take food as the sky, and what we people care about most is nothing more than whether we can fill our stomachs, and what we are most concerned about must be the harvest of crops.

The wisdom of my Chinese ancestors is wise, and many things have not yet been understood, but they have found out the laws, so as to find the most suitable way to come out.

We just need to keep a record through continuous trial planting...... That's right, just like Master Ji, in a few years, he will be able to find out the production laws of these new crops, so as to come to a conclusion that is most suitable for my Chinese soil. ”

Chongzhen found a new discovery, which corroborated with the ears and eyes of his previous life, and also proved that the view that was not entirely certain was correct, so he gladly guided a group of old farmers to observe again.

He explained in detail while observing, gushing endlessly, foaming at the mouth, often touching other people's faces, listening to a group of farmers, whether they have planted or not, nodding frequently, stunned and stunned.

Especially the sound of "Master Ji", which simply made Ji Ling and Ji Gonggongle bloom, and his well-maintained white face instantly bloomed into a vigorous chrysanthemum full of folds, and even introduced him as a lifelong confidant.

Chongzhen is not rare at all, and even a little repulses him from treating himself as a confidant.

After all, the eunuch's confidant......

"Master Ji, in fact, you don't have to be like this, Xiaosheng is a hammer." Chongzhen lodged a solemn protest against this, and even did not hesitate to blacken himself.

Ran Jiyong not only did not listen, but appreciated it more because of his modesty, and insisted on going his own way.

As a result, one after another praise was mixed in a pile of theoretical and practical records of new crop promotion and planting research, and continued to enter the deep palace through the most rapid eunuch channel of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

What is "a genius in the sky, once in a century".

What "looks like Pan An looks like Song Yu, and he is better than Lu Buzhong than Zhao Yun".

In short, how to search the intestines and scrape the belly, how to be both crepe and exaggerated, how to come.

Chongzhen occasionally sees it...... I thought so, and I also felt that "Master Ji" was not interesting enough, and he hid it, and he didn't do his best like Yuan Shuai when he wrote the recital.

Ji Yong was furious, grabbed the hammer that Yuan Chonghuan gave him to ram the land, and beckoned to Chongzhen's head.

Chongzhen fled like a fly......

Ji Yong's daily life in the supervision of the army in Guanning, Liaodong, will be delivered to the Forbidden Palace of the Ming Dynasty almost every day, and even the Duke of Wei, who has always needed the help of Li Yongzhen to help the emperor screen the folds.

and the apocalypse that never bothered to read the folds, and only stopped the carpentry when he couldn't help but glance at it disdainfully, and he could read the gist of it at a glance and ten lines, all of which were bluffed.

"Yuan Chonghuan's only request for that old boy to take the initiative to resign is really just to make this kid the deputy chief soldier?" Apocalypse rubbed the stubble that hadn't been shaved in days, and said in an almost murmuring voice.

Wei Zhongxian felt that the tone of the emperor's speech was really more and more similar to that of some teenagers, but he immediately said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave has already responded in many ways, and it is true." ”

"Is the deputy commander big? Why don't you do it in one step and be promoted directly to the general soldier? "The apocalypse is amazing.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, that kid is still young after all......"

"Well, the eldest companion is right, deputy commander-in-chief, don't ......." Tianqi waved his hand and said, "I have been a soldier for two years, I am eighteen years old, and I am promoted to vice president, which is not bad." But compared to me, it's far behind. ”

Wei Zhongxian was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, this is not comparable at all......"

"Companion, do you remember when I ascended the throne and became emperor?"

Wei Zhongxian fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, you can spare the old slave!" ”

"Don't you even remember?" In the tone of the apocalypse, there seemed to be a disappointment that could not be concealed.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stroked his ankle and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave remembered that you ascended the throne at the age of sixteen. In the past seven years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the country and the people are safe. The most important thing is that Jiannu attacked my Ming twice, but they all returned with a feather.

The locust also made a great contribution in these two battles. The battle of Ningyuan invented the artillery carriage, first the bombardment of the Nu chieftain, and then the bloody battle of Juehua, any one of which was enough to be promoted to the capital division.

But Yuan Chonghuan only fought for him for a garrison position, thinking that it was also because he was new to the city and too young.

After that, that kid spies on Houjin in the name of envoy, collects information from Jiannu and writes "Houjin Experience", the booklet has been personally handed over to the imperial court by Yuan Chonghuan, and the old slave has been read and discussed with cabinet scholars, which is indeed precious.

Although the victory of Ningjin was an inevitable result achieved by all the Guanning soldiers under the unity, this son was still second to none in this battle with wit, loyalty and bravery, especially for the grasp of time.

Yuan Chonghuan gathered most of his credit at this time, and with Donglin's calves to add fuel to the fire, it was really inevitable! ”
