Chapter 161: The First Men of Hybrid Rice, the Foundation of the Agricultural College
The next day, Xiao Han did not go.
The main thing is that it should be dealt with, and Zhu Biao has already dealt with it.
Lao Zhu's first day in the court was mainly to tell everyone that he was officially back, and then announced the prince's wedding.
If it was Xiao Han before, he would choose to give Lao Zhu a face anyway, but now, there is no need, he is his own father, so there is no need.
After all, although Zhu Yuanzhang is very murderous, he still has nothing to say to his children.
In order to clear the way for Zhu Yunwen, he killed all the way from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study, but in the end, he risked the Ming Dynasty's infighting knowing that Zhu Di probably would not be convinced by Zhu Yunwen, and still did not choose to do it.
It can be seen that the weight of family affection in Lao Zhu's heart is not low.
In any case, it will not be a little cold because of this little thing.
Besides, Xiao Han is indeed serious, and today Liu Zhuo and Xu Zhuxuan are coming to the British Mansion to take office.
This is the talent that Xiao Han is going to use to start the hybrid rice plan, no matter what, Xiao Han must teach him personally to rest assured.
After all, Xiao Han himself is not sure when he will be able to make up this thing, and what specific results can be made, so he is naturally sloppy.
After all, this is the fundamental cause related to the jobs of the Ming people.
"Grass people Liu San... Liu Zhuo meets the British public! ”
"Xu Zhuxuan, a grass man, has seen the British Gong!"
In front of Xiao Han's seat, Liu Zhuo and Xu Zhuxuan bowed to Xiao Han.
"Well, remember to call yourself a subordinate in the future."
"Although, you won't participate in political affairs, and you don't need to go to court, but the officials under this duke are not treated worse than anyone else."
"When the land around Jinling comes out, my father will ask His Majesty for hundreds of acres of land as our experimental field."
Xiao Han said to Liu Zhuo and Xu Zhuxuan.
"It's... Dare to ask the British public, what is the difference between the lower officials and others? ”
Xu Zhuxuan asked Xiao Han.
"Farming."
"You are all elites who are proficient in the key techniques of agriculture in the Ming Dynasty, if you don't farm, isn't it a waste of talent?"
Xiao Han said, with a look of course.
"Huh?"
Liu Zhuo's eyes widened and he didn't turn a corner for a while.
This British duke, who wasted so much energy, selected the most proficient in the Ming agricultural skills from the imperial examination, just to find a few high-paying old farmers to farm?
"You may not understand what this father means."
"Of course, my father didn't let you go to the field to be old farmers."
"At that time, the association will recruit a group of skilled farmers with innocent backgrounds as special farmers for experimental fields."
"What you have to do is to direct them to farm and complete our experiments."
"What we want to do is to use the experimental fields and the Daming agricultural techniques you have mastered to cultivate truly high-yield and disease-resistant high-quality crops."
"My father said the number, the yield per mu, two thousand catties!"
Xiao Han explained to the two.
"Shhh
"Shhh
As soon as Xiao Han spoke, the two people below suddenly gasped.
Xiao Han's words, they understood, it was nothing more than the selection and breeding of excellent rice varieties to improve the grain production of the Ming Dynasty.
thought that Xiao Han's ability to ask for a fifty percent increase was already the limit, but Xiao Han came up and directly doubled it.
"This, Grandpa Guo, is this really possible?"
Xu Zhuxuan's face twitched for a while.
"Yes, Grandpa Guo, isn't this too difficult, it's really not good, you ask for a promotion of one percent first?"
Liu Zhuo also spoke.
He didn't dare to take this task.
It is said that if you can't do a good job as an errand for an official, but you have to cut off your head, how can you agree to such a mission goal that you can't achieve when you hear about it.
"How?"
"You don't think that's going to happen?"
Xiao Han said lightly.
"Grandpa Guo, with all due respect, this... It's unimaginable. ”
Xu Zhuxuan pondered the wording and said.
"It's hard to imagine."
"My grandfather also knows your concerns."
"So, this is not a dead order for you to complete at the allotted time, but a goal to work for, understand?"
Xiao Han said.
"Now, my father is here to announce our first rule, and when Ma Ze comes, you will also inform him about this matter."
"First, each of you has your own different understanding of some of the deep-seated problems in the Daming agricultural technique, and we must first unify these."
"First of all, no matter what you thought the seeds were grown from, whether it is memory or anything else, it will be called genes in the future."
"As for why it's called that, you don't care."
"Secondly, the outward manifestation of the crop, which we call traits, is not to be left to you as it is."
"Okay, the second point, my father directly told you that a trait of crops is determined by more than one gene, and our purpose is to purify all the genes that can produce high yields and resist diseases through continuous hybridization."
"The third point is that rice is self-pollinating and self-pollinating and propagating by itself, so not only do you have to learn how to cross-pollinate them manually and do the protection against other pollen contamination after that, but you also have to teach the farmers who will be distributed to you later, which is very important, if they can't master it, it will affect the results of our experiments."
"The fourth point, the last point at present, the derivation of theoretical traits and the analysis of gene expression composition, when Ma Ze arrives, this guild will teach you together, you must learn carefully, my father's side does not raise waste, if you can't learn, don't blame my father for not being emotional."
Xiao Han spoke continuously, and said four rules one after another.
"Do you remember them all?"
Xiao Han glanced at the two of them with a serious expression.
"Returning to China, the lower official has written it down."
Xu Zhuxuan opened his mouth and answered.
"Adult, the little one has also been noted."
Liu Zhuo also responded.
"Very good, go down, you will live in the British Mansion first, Ruoyi will arrange a room for you, and when the experimental field is opened, this guild will arrange for you to build a mansion."
Xiao Han waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, Grandpa Guo!"
Xu Zhuxuan's eyes lit up.
"Big, small... Can the lower official ask you for something? ”
Liu Zhuo rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly to Xiao Han.
"Say."
Xiao Han spoke lightly.
"It's okay to have a thatched hut in the Xiaguan Mansion, but can you ask for some private land?"
"I don't have my own land here, and I always feel unsure."
Liu Zhuo said with an embarrassed smile.
"Hahahaha!"
"You..."
"Don't give it, when the time comes, you will send it and go to the trading market to buy it yourself."
Xiao Han laughed out loud at first, this was really the mentality of an old farmer, and then directly refused.
The errand on his side is twice as many as officials at the same level, and this is after Zhu Biao has raised his salary.
This is not low at all, and as long as Liu Zhuo is willing, he can buy it himself.
After all, it will be the stage of large-scale reclamation in the near future, and in addition to the land promised to be distributed to the displaced people, there will be a lot left, and it will have to be planted by people, and it cannot rot in the hands of the imperial court.
"Wind and snow!"
Xiao Han sent Liu Zhuo and Xu Zhuxuan away, and Zhu Biao pushed the door in.
"What's wrong?"
"The court meeting is over?"
"Dad and Mom have arranged for you to get married."
Xiao Han asked with a smile at Zhu Biao.
"Next month, when you..."
"No, I came to you with something to say."
"I was almost led astray by you."
Zhu Biao was halfway through speaking, and suddenly reacted.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Han asked at Zhu Biao.
"Didn't we decide to relocate the displaced people to Lingnan to open up wasteland?"
Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.
"yes, we just said it two days ago."
"Any questions?"
"Lingnan is remote, there are not many powerful families, and the strength is not as strong as that of Daming Jiangnan."
Xiao Han nodded.
"That's the problem."
"The development process we have arranged is to run along a coastal plain that is relatively easy to develop."
"But the local coastal fishermen are reluctant to cooperate, especially because there are no big families, and the villages have united into small clans, and there have even been several violent protests against the relocation officials."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"Didn't Liu Bowen give them money when he arranged for people to relocate the villages that affected the planning?"
Xiao Han asked in surprise.
"Given."
"But some people are very greedy, sit on the ground and raise the price, and the rest will follow suit."
"Lingnan is already poorer than the Central Plains, and the Daming treasure banknotes have not completely covered the past, so copper coins and gold and silver are used, and there are even fewer of them."
Zhu Biao opened his mouth to explain.
"How so?"
"How come the coastal plains are a few miles from the sea? Where are so many fishing villages? ”
Xiao Han said puzzled.
"Originally, there weren't that much, but then they heard that the government could compensate them for land acquisition."
"One by one, they all claimed that there were their own old mansions and ancestral graves in it, and they couldn't think of it, so they even simply built two broken grass houses and didn't leave there."
Zhu Biao frowned.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Han's eyes narrowed.
"Disrupt the order of the imperial court, seriously violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, kill!"
"Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, they lack reverence for Daming, so it's no wonder that my Daming is ruthless."
There was a hint of murder in Zhu Biao's eyes.
"Since you've decided, why are you asking me why? Just do it. ”
Xiao Han said lightly.
"I just want to ask you, if I go on a killing spree over there and dispose of all those who dare to offend Daming, will it affect the hearts of the people of Daming over there in the future."
"If you need it, just punish the evil and restrain yourself."
Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.
"No, I don't."
"As long as you violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you will be beheaded directly according to the law!"
"In this way, not only can they be in awe, but also can tell them that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister."
"Don't think that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, so they are qualified to sit on the ground and raise the price with Daming."
"This kind of psychology is not only conducive to our next rule over Lingnan after the migration of displaced people, but also conducive to the planning of the later stage."
"In this way, even if they go to the country of Yue and the southernmost part of the country, they will have a deep impression in their hearts."
"No matter how high the mountain is, no matter how far the water is, it can't stop the great tomorrow!"
Xiao Leng opened his mouth coldly, and with one word, it decided the life and death of ten thousand people!
"Good!"
"Since you say so, then I'm relieved."
"Lone will let them know the price of offending the majesty of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao snorted coldly, completely relieved.
Xiangyang City.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order has come down?"
Mu Ying looked at Tong Zhangshun in front of him and asked.
"Well, as you might expect."
Tong Zhangshun nodded.
"Since that's the case, let's work with the Jinyi Guards here to uproot the residue left by these four families!"
Mu Ying squinted.
From the moment they decided to assassinate Xiao Han, Mu Ying knew that there was no trace of these four major families.
"Kill!"
"Anyone related to the four major families, not a single one will be left!"
Mu Ying said coldly.
Panyu City.
"Alas! Still don't agree to move out? ”
Liu Bowen, who is known as Liu Xiang, asked his subordinates who came back.
"My lord, these people are so tough that even the officials we sent dare to attack."
"Why are you sighing, shouldn't we just send a large number of people to forcibly drive them away?"
"Even they dare to ride on my Da Ming's head, where is my Da Ming's majesty?"
The subordinates were quite angry.
The official sighed, it's not that they won't go.
"Rather, this time they gave up, probably, and they couldn't leave after that."
Liu Xiang shook his head slightly.
He knows Xiao Han and Zhu Biao too well, as long as he knows the situation here, I'm afraid he won't choose to keep his face.
These people, in Liu Xiang's eyes, are not guilty of death, at least, in Liu Xiang's eyes.
It's a pity that they are in front of the giant ship of Daming, and Liu Xiang wants to pull them by the hand to prevent them from being crushed so stupidly.
Why, people didn't appreciate it, and beat his people.
Thinking that the faces of those who had listened to the lecture in front of him would turn into dry bones one by one, Liu Xiang also sighed slightly in his heart.
After all, it can be regarded as having a one-sided relationship, and he is also benevolent and righteous.
It's a pity that after all, it's hard to persuade damn ghosts with good words.
"People, after all, you have to pay the price for your own eyes."
"When they saw the gold in front of them, they wanted to stuff it into their arms, but they didn't realize that it was a golden knife."
Liu Xiang shook his head slightly.
"It's... Your Excellency, you, you are saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will kill them all! ”
The subordinate opened his mouth in shock.
He wanted to teach these people a lesson, but he never thought of killing them all.
After all, he is also a Lingnan native, and some of them should be related to him.
"Da Ming Law, haven't you finished reading it?"
"Disrespecting the orders of the imperial court, maliciously disrupting the will of the imperial court, conspiring against him, and killing! Not! Pardon! ”
Liu Xiang said lightly.
"But, but it's thousands!"
The subordinate was shocked.
"Isn't it a crime if thousands of people commit crimes?"
"And, for the crown prince and the English duke, they are even more unforgivable than those who rebel."
"Because each of them saw the benefits, they pounced on themselves, and there was no coercion."
"In this case, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heart to let some people go, the British Duke will definitely not agree."
Liu Xiang shook his head, he had already seen through everything.
"I told you a long time ago, don't accept any price increase, not even a copper plate."
"As a result, some of you are greedy for trouble, but now it's okay, and you even found your own relatives to come together."
"It's okay now, it's too late, this time, it will no longer be the official who will judge you, but Jin! Clothing! Protect! ”
"Tell those people, don't come to the official to intercede, if there is a problem, the official can't save them!"
Liu Xiang said, turned around and left from the mansion directly.
I have the heart to help the world, and I want to persuade the people of the world to be good and upward, and to forge ahead.
However, the people of the world are incomprehensible, ridiculing me for being old-fashioned and indifferent, not knowing the suffering of the world, just that, just walking, even if you should go, thousands of people, what do you have to do with me?
Stomp, stomp!
Liu Xiang's footsteps gradually drifted away, leaving the subordinate trembling in place.
British Mansion.
"By the way, your paper production line is already running, shouldn't the paper for me be sent over?"
Zhu Biao put down the Lingnan matter and asked Xiao Han.
"Well, it worked, but what are you sending it for?"
Xiao Han asked with a smile at Zhu Biao.
"How?"
"You want to repent?"
Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.
"No, do you have that much typography?"
"Why do you have to sell thousands of copies in the first batch?"
"Did you print it over there?"
Xiao Han smiled and said to Zhu Biao.
"It just so happens that I have a new printing plant production line here."
"There will be several more production lines in the future."
"How?"
"Do you want to spend money on us to print?"
Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao with a smile.
"You, you've already figured it out, haven't you?"
"I'm sorry you were so good at talking that day, Daming Bao is such a thing, just give it when you say it."
Looking at Xiao Han's smiling face, he gritted his teeth for a while.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't force you."
"Daming political outline, Daming law, Daming agricultural skills, Daming dictionary, what I print is not the same to make money."
"But there are not many printers who can eat the high output requirements of Daming Bao."
"It's okay if you want to arrange them to different people, anyway, if you can't type a newspaper, the things on it will be a little different, small problems, small problems."
Xiao Han spread his hands, looking like you decided for yourself.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"You come to print, as long as you print the content I gave!"
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth and said, he said, how can Xiao Han's wool be so good.
The circle was so big that day, I thought it was revenge, but I didn't expect to wait for him here.
What is the difference between this and directly Xiao Han out of Daming Daily, I already knew that it would not be rectified, anyway, even if Xiao Han came out, what content he wanted to post, that is, a matter of one sentence.
What?
Why didn't Zhu Biao build his own printing factory and do it himself?
Isn't this nonsense?
Xiao Han's industrial chain is one-stop, and now that the Ministry of Industry has been arranged there, it is better to use Xiao Han's cost-effective to make another one yourself.
"Very good, very good."
"When I do things with you, I can always learn thirty-six tricks in the wool."
"Feng Xue, are you counting, are you taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle?"
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Maybe count."
Xiao Han was noncommittal.
"Whew! With you, I don't have to worry about being cheated by those profiteers anymore, it's good if they don't get cheated by you, who dares to mess with you. Because you're the biggest profiteer. ”
Zhu Biao said helplessly.
