After meeting with Li Gang and several other great Confucians, Liang Baoyu went into hiding.

Even a lawless bastard like him felt a deep pressure in the face of several great Confucians, and Liang Baoyu instantly understood the reason why these people were invited by His Majesty Li Er to teach in agriculture.

These people are not only knowledgeable, but also have a clean background, have their own rules for doing things, and do not have much to do with those monopolist and learned gate valve families, and at the same time, every young and virtuous person, even the most unobtrusive gentleman, will become obedient little sheep in front of them.

This was what Liang Baoyu had agreed with His Majesty Li Er before, but he didn't expect that His Majesty Li Er would be able to find a Confucian of Li Gang's level to teach.

As for the recruitment of students after the expansion of agriculture, how to teach these students, and what kind of subjects to offer, it has been clearly written in the program plan formulated by Liang Baoyu at the beginning.

Agronomy is not only a means of teaching farming, but also mathematics, physics and chemistry, astronomy and geography, and navigation...... As long as Liang Baoyu can remember and have a general concept of the knowledge brought by later generations, he wants to instill it in those agricultural students!

The Tang Dynasty may be just a backward and ignorant feudal dynasty in the eyes of others in later generations, but in Liang Baoyu's view, this is almost one of the best times in this land.

Once the Tang army can firmly grasp this opportunity, lay the Tang Dynasty's advantage in this world and continue, then the Chinese nation that has been diligently cultivating this land for countless years will reap rich rewards!

Discussing gains and losses among ethnic groups is what Liang Baoyu is most passionate about.

In this era, the gains and losses of the interests between countries and between nations are far purer than those of later generations, although there will be pedantic people who have to put on some veils of hypocrisy, and even more serious regard those morals that are only worthy of being told to others as the standard of conduct, but it does not prevent most people from being sober.

Liang Baoyu believes that as long as the agronomy he has built can develop steadily for ten years, then the Tang Dynasty, which should be glorious through the ages, will have a pair of stronger and more powerful wings!

The eldest grandson Chong was obsessed with the experimental field, and this guy has now completely calmed down, no longer obsessed with those projects and auspicious results that have achieved immediate results, but has led a group of agronomists to start groping for improved wheat seeds.

"The research has already yielded results, some time ago I harvested a new wheat seed with several times the yield per mu, but unfortunately after the wheat was planted, the yield of the second crop dropped a lot, and the yield of the third crop was even less than the wheat seed that everyone is using now."

Dressed in coarse linen clothes and squatting on the ground, Changsun Chong looked like an ordinary old farmer, and the failure of the new wheat seed made him unable to keep his spirits up.

The high-yield genetic traits of excellent grain varieties can not be continued, this technical problem in the future generations can not be overcome, the seed company is because of this reason can always exist, you a Tang Dynasty just learned to farm, why can this problem be solved?

"Why should the eldest grandson be discouraged? There must be a reason why the wheat seed can be chosen by our ancestors for generations. ”

Liang Baoyu, a pseudo-agronomic expert, has long been unable to give Changsun Chong any guidance in terms of professionalism, "I have also heard the Huangfu elder of Sinong Temple mention that there are not no high-yield grains in Sinong Temple, but they were all abandoned because they could not keep seeds.

Brother Eldest Sun, now that our agronomy has been expanded, how many experimental fields should there be, why don't we cultivate more good seeds, and then distribute and sell them to people who can take care of them? It's also good to produce an extra pound of grain. ”

These words obviously inspired Changsun Chong, but the proposal to sell wheat seeds to farmers was too trendy for Changsun Chong to accept, because the farmers were already poor people who were digging in the fields, and if they were for the sake of good wheat seeds, they would take off a layer of oil and water......

"It's normal for the eldest grandson brother to have such thoughts, but have you thought about it, it takes a lot of money and time to cultivate new wheat seeds, and if it is given away for free, this matter will definitely not last long."

In this regard, Liang Baoyu has long prepared the answer, "Ordinary people may not be able to afford new wheat seeds, but we can sell new wheat seeds to those rich families."

The eldest grandson doesn't need to frown, the big families are willing to spend money to produce more in their fields, what is the difference between this and hiring more people to cultivate intensively?

There is input to have output, this is a matter of course, no matter who produces more grain in the field, in the end it is still in my Datang territory.

It's a good thing that the eldest grandson has a benevolent heart, but how can everything in the world be as expected?

If the new wheat seeds are sold and the profits are made, the people in charge of cultivating the new wheat seeds will be able to continue to do this, and they may be able to find high-yielding wheat seeds that can be retained in the future. ”

"But those small farmers ......"

"You can grow potatoes, they are all food, and what can feed your stomach is a good thing!"

Regarding potatoes and corn, Liang Baoyu's heart was originally full of resentment, but after returning to Chang'an City, he called the old housekeeper in Zhuangzi to inquire carefully, and he understood that these two new grains that can live countless people have not been promoted, and the royal family cannot be blamed completely.

In this era, farming was a matter of life and death.

Small to a family, large to the whole country, for the promotion of new grain that has never been seen are extremely cautious, especially in this era, the spread of information is extremely lagging behind, and there are all kinds of rumors mixed in, taking potatoes as an example, the people of Liangjia Zhuangzi have begun large-scale planting, but many people around Chang'an City have never heard of this thing at all.

According to Liang Baoyu's original idea, he wanted to promote it first through the noble and large landlord classes such as Xungui and Shijia, even if he let these bastards taste some sweetness, as long as the world understands the benefits of potatoes, some people will inevitably follow suit.

But at present, only the royal family and the Liang family Zhuangzi are planting potatoes on a large scale in the entire Tang Dynasty, and this strange situation has completely subverted Liang Baoyu's cognition.

After more than a year of continuous breeding, Liangjiazhuang planted nearly 200 acres of potatoes and 100 acres of corn, these two crops are far better than other crops, and the top is suitable for Liangjiazhuang, a village with extremely developed light industry.

The potatoes are ripe and can be harvested immediately, so agronomy is also treated as a top priority, and the eldest grandson Chong naturally understands what Liang Baoyu said...... You are a new wheat seed that can keep the seeds, and you can't compare to the big killer of potatoes in terms of yield!

At a time when many places in Datang are still worried about famine, production is king!

"Old eight, when you talk about potatoes, it reminds me of another thing, when you were still in Lingnan, the county magistrate of Lantian County had a quarrel over potatoes...... He's going to take the whole county to plant potatoes together! ”
