Chapter 164: Daming Experimental Field, the first generation of the Agricultural College
"That's right, it's just a grasshopper after the autumn, in front of our Daming, it won't be able to jump for a few years."
"Wait for the wind and snow to weave your net, let's directly collect the net, and catch all these guys who disobey the court and disturb the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao said coldly.
"By the way, Fengxue, since I am now in charge of implementing the reform of the imperial examination, you are responsible for implementing that, well, industrial construction."
"The next step in the reform of the imperial examination, I plan to add it in the next autumn."
"You remember to write it out."
Zhu Biao then said to Xiao Han again.
"Well said."
"In a few days, I will start compiling "Daming Economics" and "Daming Engineering Techniques", I know what I am thinking."
"Don't worry, I will give it to you as soon as possible, so that you have enough time to understand before this."
"After all, I also know that our old Zhu family's economic consciousness is surprisingly poor, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me directly."
The corners of Xiao Han's mouth hooked.
"What do you say... Although it's true, it's a good thing to say, don't say it next time. ”
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.
"By the way, I need a batch of experimental fields to cultivate high-quality rice here, and when the wasteland is opened, remember to give me a piece."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"How big."
Zhu Biao asked.
"A few hundred acres."
Xiao Han Xiao Han said.
"Then you don't have to wait for the wasteland to be cleared, I have it here."
"When you wait for me to go back, I will select hundreds of acres of the best quality Daming fertile land as an experimental field."
Zhu Biao said.
"This is not necessary, as an experimental field, the most important thing is to reflect the experimental effect."
"If they are all paddy fields with top fertility, the data obtained from the experiment will be high, so you can give me the average paddy field here, and it is best to arrange it in different environments."
"In addition, I also need some clever people, and it is best to understand some Daming agricultural skills."
Xiao Han spoke again.
"It's a bit difficult."
"After all, I have seen a lot of things in Daming agriculture, but if you want to say that you are proficient, there are really not many."
"However, two days ago, there were many people who wanted to take the Daming Agricultural Science Exam and failed the list."
"There are not many, hundreds of people."
"Why don't I give you a holy decree, and you can just gather them and pick them up?"
"Anyway, many of them came to Yingtianfu in one way, and now they are receiving relief food with the displaced people, and they are also consuming food in vain here in Jinling."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"Oh!"
"I've been so busy these two days that I forgot about them."
"Okay, gather him tomorrow and issue a decree."
Xiao Han nodded.
It's been a really busy time.
So much so that Xiao Han only looked at those who participated in the palace examination from the palace examination, and ignored those who failed in the spring examination.
"Remember to sift through for me."
"After all, this is not the election of officials, it is best to have pro-farming experience, as for theoretical knowledge, in fact, it is not important, after all, theoretical guidance, there are a few of us to complete."
Xiao Han added.
"Haha!"
"This time you said it was wrong."
"There is no one who can stay and go back and forth, and there is not a single child of a wealthy and wealthy family."
"It's all poor people, and it's hard to find anyone from them who can't farm."
Zhu Biao said with a smile.
Following.
Zhu Biao chose the reason for the people's husband to make a holy decree by cooperating with Xiao Han, and successfully withdrew from the various pre-wedding preparations that Queen Ma kept asking.
"Wind and snow, these are the children of civilians who fell off the list in the spring and then can't go back."
Zhu Biao took Xiao Han to a disaster relief shed.
The people in this relief shelter are completely different from other displaced people waiting to receive porridge.
Although they are also disgraced, their clothes are ragged, and even the disaster relief shelter still has some peculiar smells.
But none of these people have the tiredness and numbness of running around in their eyes, they all have firmness and persistence in their eyes.
Even for eating porridge, he is not as greedy as other homeless people, but absent-minded, and more attention is paid to the two books in his hand.
A Ming agricultural technique, a Ming dictionary.
Xiao Han's compilation of the Ming Dynasty agricultural techniques, not the simplified characters of later generations, many of the official Ming characters on it are very cumbersome, these people who are halfway home to study, the words on it can remember half of the talent is already good.
More of them, they are flipping through books and dictionaries at the same time.
Those who can cross the mountains and mountains from their homes to Yingtianfu to participate in the Spring Festival are naturally stronger than ordinary people.
They didn't think that this time the spring fell because they really couldn't do it, but they were prepared too hastily, and they hadn't fully understood the key techniques of Daming agriculture.
They want to stay here, they have to wait, wait for the next imperial examination.
They believe that in the future, they will be able to successfully pass the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty and be promoted to the imperial court official like those geniuses who succeeded the first time, glorifying their ancestors.
It's a big deal, wait for the Ming Dynasty to reclaim the wasteland, and follow the displaced people to farm the land, while farming, while studying the Ming agricultural skills.
If you fail the test once, you will do it twice, and if you fail twice, you will do it three times.
Anyway, it's farming at home, and it's farming here.
Under the diligence can make up for the shortcomings, sooner or later you can succeed, even if you don't have the honor to ascend to the Hall of the Son of Heaven in the end, at least, you can be regarded as working hard for all this.
It is better to fall on the road, but because of the fear of the high mountains and the long road, they cower.
"Ahem!"
"Your Majesty has a will!"
Looking at these ragged people who were still seriously studying the key techniques of Daming agriculture, Li Heng cleared his throat and shouted.
And it was only at this time that most people saw the arrival of Zhu Biao and Xiao Han.
"Then, that's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Oh my God, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually here with us!"
"It's really fake, you read that right."
"It's absolutely true, before the spring of the day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally spoke, and I have seen it from afar."
"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Grass, grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
…
After reacting for a while, these people reacted, and one by one hurriedly put down the books and porridge in their hands and knelt down in front of Zhu Biao.
"Fengtian carrier!"
"The emperor's edict!"
"There are civilians who participated in the imperial examination, and they are unable to return to their hometowns and stay in Yingtianfu.
"It coincides with the cold of the British Gongxiao, opening up experimental fields and opening up the way forward for Ming agriculture."
"Commoners who are allowed to stay in Yingtian can be elected as farmers who cultivate experimental fields, and those who participate in the cultivation of experimental fields will be treated the same as local officials!"
"Chin this!"
Li Heng's shrill voice sounded, echoing in the ears of a group of ordinary people.
"Really, really?"
"We are not on the list, and we still have a chance to be officials?"
"This, that's great!"
Someone was shocked and spoke.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the grass people dare to ask."
After the shocked voice, someone who reacted spoke.
"Ask, forgive you for your innocence."
Zhu Biao said.
"If we become under the command of the British Duke, the battle of farming, will we still have the opportunity to participate in the Ming Imperial Examination!"
The man raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao.
If they stay here, they will naturally not be willing to have a position equivalent to that of the officials.
For these aspiring commoners, if they become farmers in the experimental fields, they lose the opportunity to continue the imperial examination, and would rather wait here for disaster relief porridge and open up wasteland and farm with the displaced people.
"Yes."
"Participating in the Ming Imperial Examination is your birthright, and no one is qualified to deprive you of it on the premise that you have no major crimes."
"In addition, my father can tell you that if you become a farmer in my father's experimental field, you will have my father and the top three in the Daming agricultural discipline this time, and personally guide you in the key techniques of Daming agriculture."
Xiao Han nodded slightly and spoke.
"Dare to ask the British duke."
"Is there any other cost?"
The person who spoke before opened his mouth again and asked Xiao Han.
"Yes!"
"In the affairs of the world, there is something to be gained, and something must be lost."
"Grain grows in the ground and never falls out of the field."
"As a member of the experimental field, you will lose a certain amount of freedom, except for the prescribed holidays, you can go home to visit your family, and you are not allowed to leave."
"In addition, all theories and data about the research process in the experimental field are not allowed to be leaked."
"If someone leaks the status of the Daming Experimental Field, there will be no mercy!"
"If it is because of individuals who lead to the core agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty and leak it outside the Ming Dynasty, the crime will be complicit in the rebellion, and the nine clans will be connected!"
"Therefore, this public advises you to think about it carefully, and if you can't do it, don't get involved, lest you lose your life in vain, and even implicate your family."
"Finally, my father is here to explain, if you become a member of the Daming Experimental Field of Daming, you will be affiliated to the Daming Agricultural College, and the president of the academy is personally served by our Royal Highness the Prince.
"Especially, if you succeed in the autumn and spring in the future, you can also directly increase your salary and receive the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, of course, you can't wear it when farming."
"Alright, now the choice is up to you, and you can decide."
Xiao Leng said coldly, first said the requirements, and explained the cost of violating the rules, and finally added and explained the treatment.
Let Zhu Biao give a sweet jujube first, Xiao Han will give a big stick later, and finally give a sweeter sweet jujube.
"In this case, the grass people are willing to participate in the election of experimental field farmers, join the Daming Agricultural College, and hope to be fortunate enough to join the British Duke and join His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The man who had spoken before spoke immediately.
"And me, too."
"I'm the same!"
…
Under Xiao Han's operation of sticks and sweet dates, these civilian children who failed to make the list were suddenly enthusiastic, and they rushed to participate in the Daming Experimental Field one by one.
As long as you can control your mouth and don't talk nonsense, isn't this just picking up an official body for nothing?
No matter how the land is planted, it will not affect the continuation of the imperial examination, the key is to directly pull up the treatment and official position after the examination, and people can still stay in Tianfu.
Although, there will be some loss of freedom, but, this is Yingtianfu, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, where the capital is located, I was originally reluctant to go, and there are fixed holidays, so what is there to hesitate about.
What?
Do you say that you want to be an official or farm the land?
In other words, we can't do anything other than farming, so we can't do anything else.
In the words of later generations, the direct professional counterpart belongs to the yes, and it is also a central enterprise with a establishment.
"Liu Zhuo, Xu Zhuxuan, Ma Ze, let's start."
Xiao Han waved his hand and beckoned his three "graduate students" to go up for an interview.
"Fengxue, how many people do you plan to recruit this time?"
The three of them took a group of unsuccessful civilian children to interview the farmers in the experimental field, and Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.
"A hundred people, after all, the experimental field is not very much, a few acres for one person is enough, if you want to expand the experimental field in the future, I will look for you again."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"And when will your side produce results?"
Zhu Biao continued to ask.
"How do I know, as short as ten years, as long as decades."
"But don't worry, it's an iterative process, and every few years, the best quality varieties that are bred should yield a little more than the previous ones."
"After all, according to my understanding, this thing is a continuous enrichment and selection of high-quality genes... The process of enriching yield and disease resistance. ”
"What I started with was how long it would take to get to where I thought it might be."
"That goal is a bit far away, and I don't know if I can get it out before I die, but I can guarantee that the new varieties launched by Daming Agricultural College will definitely get better and better."
Xiao Han opened his mouth to explain.
"So, the super rice that you preset can yield thousands of catties per mu is actually a limit state?"
Zhu Biao asked curiously.
"Actually, no, as far as I know, that state can actually continue to be optimized."
"However, it is indeed a milestone-like production state, and in that state, even if I have more than a billion people, I can feed them."
Xiao Han thought for a while and said.
"Huh?"
"Can this continue to be optimized?"
"What does that have to become?"
Zhu Biao was shocked.
"Who knows?"
"Maybe after a few hundred years, a tree will grow directly in the ground, and the tree will be full of leaves, and under each leaf will be a large bunch of rice, and the weight of the grain produced will be several times larger than the rest of the rice."
Xiao Han paused and said.
"Is this still rice?"
"It's really rice growing on the tree."
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Does it matter?"
"As long as it can grow food, eat it, and be harmless, do you care if it's rice or not?"
Xiao Han spread his hands.
"It's also the truth, being able to have food is the last word, no matter what it is, didn't the ancestors turn the weeds into rice, wheat, and sorghum for the sake of food?"
"It seems reasonable for our descendants to turn these things into something else for the sake of food."
"If I can, I really want that when we are dying, we will have the opportunity to play chess against the rice tree, and look up at the smell of food, think about it, when the time comes, I, the dean of the agricultural college, will be famous for eternity."
Zhu Biao laughed and thought so.
"Also... Sure. ”
Xiao Han said, slightly in a trance, as if something similar, the old man also said that if it was not an ordinary young man like himself who came to Daming, but that person, Daming, maybe there could really be such a scene.
After the selection of Liu Zhuo, Ma Ze and Xu Zhuxuan, 100 experimental field farmers were successfully selected from hundreds of unsuccessful civilian children according to their planting skills, theoretical level and physical conditions.
Zhu Biao also directly took Xiao Han, the "three graduate students of Daming Agricultural College" and the experimental field of one hundred Daming Agricultural College to the experimental field he assigned to Xiao Han.
"Wind and snow, this is your experimental field."
"According to your request, I have screened the fields around Jinling City in Tianfu according to the fertility level."
"The fields with the most fertility levels and the most representative of most of our Daming paddy fields were selected, and in these fields, the fields with different conditions such as riverside paddy fields, mountain terraces and concave ditch fields were taken into account."
Zhu Biao said, pointing to a large circle of surrounding fields surrounded by mountains and rivers.
"Good, that's what it needs!"
Xiao Han nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay guys, congratulations on passing the selection and becoming a farmer in my Daming experimental field, from now on, you can be regarded as an official."
"I want to emphasize here that it doesn't matter how much grain is produced in the field, what matters is the yield data, anyway, the grain produced in the experimental field has nothing to do with your Yulu, your extra Yulu, as for the completion of the experiment of our Daming Agricultural College."
"Therefore, don't quietly cut corners just because you think that some of our operations are ruining the food, and complete the experimental arrangements I gave you with quality and quantity, which is what you should do."
"Next, we are going to start planting the experimental field, how to operate, Liu Zhuo, Xu Zhuxuan, and Ma Ze will teach you."
"The three of them are the top three in agriculture in this Daming Spring Palace, and their level is higher than any of you, so you listen carefully and study carefully..."
Xiao Han turned his head and explained the rules to these farmers in the Daming experimental field, and then said some scenes such as "You need to forge ahead" and "There are many things to learn".
In view of the fact that Xiao Han had almost said the dean's lines, he threw a sentence when Zhu Biao, the dean of the genuine Daming Agricultural College, spoke.
"It's true that Lone is not proficient in agriculture, but you have to remember that you are a lone person, and Lone will not let go if you make a mistake, but if someone bullies you, you can also report Lone's name."
In the end, in a mountain, he shouted "Long live His Royal Highness the Prince!" "Long live the British Princess!" In the voice, the first batch of teams of Daming Farmer College officially took shape and began to try the cultivation of the first experimental field.
A busy day, hundreds of acres of experimental fields were successfully planted with the efforts of more than 100 people, and according to Xiao Han's arrangement, the most popular rice varieties in the Ming Dynasty were used as the parents of the first generation.
"You seem to have been watching my grandfather since you started planting the experimental field, so you can say anything you want."
Xiao Han glanced at the three people who followed him back to the British Mansion.
"That's... Grandpa Guo, when do you think we will conduct that genetic analysis? ”
"We're all waiting to see your true agronomy."
Xu Zhuxuan, who was walking in the front, rubbed his hands and said expectantly.
