Chapter 173: Cultivating New Crops and Being a Thief?

Xiang Yan told the Persian officials all the relevant knowledge she knew.

And the Persian officials also gave Xiang Yan all the seeds they brought, either giving away or selling.

Both sides were happy.

And since she got the corn seeds, the land of Princess Yuanhua can't all be used to grow Artemisia.

You have to set aside some open space to grow corn.

But the main purpose of corn cultivation is not to produce crops, but to breed new varieties.

This ancient species is too tall and not very resistant to wind, so it is prone to lodging.

And too high a plant height will also affect the yield.

After all, the total amount of nutrients in the field is so much, and the nutrients used to grow the height of the plant are more, and the nutrients used to grow corn kernels will be relatively reduced.

However, it will be a few months or even years before a new variety is to be bred.

One is that it takes months for that seed to be planted and harvested.

The second is because we want to find wild varieties of the same family and genus to crossbreed, which depends on fate, and there is no result in a hurry.

As for sweet potatoes, there is no need to be so troublesome, just cultivate enough seeds in the greenhouse, and then take them out to the market to sell.

None of the people in Da Zhou have ever planted corn or sweet potatoes.

Therefore, on this day, Xiang Yan led the team to personally preside over the planting of two new varieties.

After seeing all the seeds fall to the ground, Xiang Yan made room to prepare to start the new academy.

According to Xiang Yan's thoughts, it is.

First, the new academy was opened in Beijing as a pilot.

When the academy in the capital is successful, it can be popularized throughout the country as a successful experience.

"Then the first problem we are facing now should be the location of the new academy, right?"

Xiang Yuyue had lunch at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion as usual.

At the dinner table, there are still three people: Xiang Yan, Xiang Guozhong, and Xiang Yuyue.

Talking about it at dinner, she asked.

Xiang Yan nodded, then looked at Xiang Guozhong:

"Daddy, do you think there is anything particular about this location?"

Without waiting for Xiang Guozhong to answer, Xiang Yuyue preemptively said:

"Exquisite? Of course, you have to pay attention to it! ”

"I think I should pick the most prosperous places in the capital."

"If you build the academy in those places, the thief will have face."

"And it just reflects the power of our new hospital!"

Xiang Yan was speechless:

"I'm going to build a academy, not a restaurant!"

"Extravagance and extravagance are a big no-no for places like the academy."

"And it is foreseeable that the first batch of students should be mainly from poor families."

"Isn't it afraid that opening the academy in such a prosperous place will breed their inferiority complex?"

"Is it to open the academy to those places to cultivate their style of comparison?"

"Or is it to imperceptibly instill them from the beginning, and to study for the sake of luxury and waste in these places later?"

"What I want to cultivate is the pillars of the country, not to open an incubation base for corrupt officials!"

Xiang Yuyue didn't expect that the first idea she gave him was a bad idea.

Aggrievedly, he stuck out his tongue at Xiang Yan.

Then bow your head and continue to eat your own meal.

Xiang Yan continued to talk to Xiang Guozhong.

"Actually, I've been looking for a few places in the past few days."

"There's a place opposite Guozijian that I think is good."

"There's an abandoned yard there, it's in disrepair, and it doesn't cost much to buy it."

"And that area also lacks a lot of the prosperity and impetuousness of the imperial capital, which is suitable for running a school."

Xiang Guozhong gave an objection:

"No."

"At the beginning, I opened the academy directly opposite Guozijian."

"Fighting in the ring, will it mean too much?"

"It's not a good thing to be sharp."

Xiang Yan insisted on her own ideas:

"If you don't have a competitive spirit, this academy won't be able to open."

"And if the students don't have a competitive spirit, they will not have an advantage in the first place, and it will be even more impossible for them to win those children of the family."

"If you don't start with a very formal one."

"I'm afraid that the first batch of students will be confused."

"And the purpose of setting up the academy directly opposite Guozijian is to let my students feel the pressure of facing the world's highest university."

"And then they get the most competitive."

"To inspire people with lofty ideals, be angry and strong!"

Xiang Guozhong thought about it, and knew that he couldn't say that Xiang Yan couldn't move, so he stopped persuading.

Instead, get ready to start solving the problem:

"Then I'll tell the housekeeper to buy you land."

"As soon as tomorrow, the yard will be in our hands."

But Xiang Yan listened to it, but it was inappropriate:

"Not good."

"You asked someone from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to buy a yard, how dare that person make a bid?"

"You are famous in the capital, I'm afraid that this courtyard will be given to us in vain at that time."

"We have to do things seriously, we can't take advantage of this, we can be as much as we want."

Xiang Guozhong asked:

"Then you will ask yourself?"

"I'm afraid it's not good, the day you returned to Beijing, the saint sealed Luoyang Street, and personally went out of the city to greet him."

"I'm afraid there aren't many people in the capital who don't know you now."

Xiang Yan thought about it, why don't you let Liu Yan do this?

But when you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

People who can afford a yard in a place like Luoyang are still opposite Guozijian.

What does that have to be?

Although Liu Yan has a lot of money, after all, he still can't get much on the table in a place like the capital.

People don't necessarily want to bird him.

And he doesn't know much about the housing prices in the capital.

What if you let the family get into trouble.

When the time comes, it will be impossible to bring people to the door again.

When I was worried that no one was available in my hands.

Xiang Yan saw Xiang Yuyue, who was still eating with her head bored.

Suddenly his face was happy.

It's close at hand

How did I ignore her.

Don't look at Xiang Yuyue's unreliable performance in front of her family.

But no matter how she says it, she is also the boss of Shengjingfang.

In Luoyang, he is also a figure with a head and a face.

And she is an old Beijinger, and she should have a basic understanding of the housing prices in various sections of Luoyang, so she will not be pitted.

And Xiang Yan is not worried about her ability to do things at all.

How to say it, she is also a heroine-like character who can go to Jiangnan with a secret door to rescue Xiang Yan alone.

It's impossible to do all of this.

Xiang Yuyue felt that the atmosphere was not right as she ate.

Xiang Yan and Xiang Guozhong stopped talking.

When she looked up, she saw that Xiang Yan was staring at her thoughtfully.

"Big, big nephew, why are you looking at me like this, I haven't been spending money indiscriminately lately."

Xiang Yan frowned when she heard this.

I haven't said anything yet, why did you bring up the matter of spending money yourself.

It's not what it is to be a thief.

"Really?"

Xiang Yan said,

"Then there must be no bills to be reimbursed this month, right?"

Saying this, Xiang Yuyue really laughed a little embarrassed in the middle of the thief.
