"This is the latest rice variety in my experimental field, No. 12."

Wang Shu's faint voice was like a boulder smashed into a deep pool, stirring up a thousand waves, "It has not fully grown up now, and it is estimated that it will double in October." If you don't mind, you can pick one and taste it, it tastes sweet. ”

Hua Shengying was really polite, she really reached out and pulled a fruit on the ear of rice, stuffed it into her mouth and bit it down.

The syrup bursts in one bite, and it is not yet ripe, but the white pulp in the rice is sweet.

There was silence in the study, and even breathing seemed cautious. Everyone stared at Wang Shu without blinking, and now no one questioned the reason why Wang Shu appeared here. In terms of agriculture, none of them can compare to Wang Shu. Wang Shu's step-by-step habit of speaking firmly grasped the hearts of everyone present, "...... What kind of rice seed is this, sir? What is the twelfth? ”

They didn't know Wang Shu's identity, so they called Wang Shu as Mr.

"It's the twelfth generation of rice varieties that I improved." Wang Shu didn't bother to describe the previous situation, but only concisely informed the general situation, "Now that the rice has been iterated to the twelfth generation, the yield has increased from 200 jin at the beginning to 650 to 700 jin per mu today." If it can be supplemented with appropriate fertilizers and pesticides, this yield can be increased by two percent. ”

The words landed, and the study was so quiet that there was no sound of breathing.

Everyone looked at Wang Shu, not knowing whether they were stupid or thinking they were dreaming, and they didn't dare to believe this outrageous data. After a long time, it was the bold and straightforward Muhu who opened his mouth: "What Mr. said about 650 to 700 catties refers to ......?" ”

"Yield per acre."

There was a gasp.

"This doubles...... Isn't that outrageous? "That is, it has tripled, and they can't believe it. Is that more than a triple?

Hua Shengying felt ridiculous, but he couldn't say ridiculous words. He then looked at His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor who was standing beside Wang Shu.

Although Xiao Yanxing had heard Wang Shu say it earlier, Wang Shu did not give such detailed data at that time, and he had made such a tragic comparison in person. He only knew that the yield of Wang Shu's experimental field was a little high, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous.

"The fluctuation of the output of 650 to 700 catties varies according to the degree of fertility and poverty in the paddy fields." Wang Shu is actually not very satisfied with this result, normally speaking, the twelve generations she replaced have reached the standard of later generations. However, due to the lack of suitable chemical fertilizers and pesticides, there is still a gap in yield. Today's production conditions have not been able to maximize her number 12 advantage.

After saying that, Wang Shu asked Lin Er to take out the wheat seeds.

This year's wheat experiment was much more successful than last year's, not only in terms of yield but also in quality. However, wheat has always been less valuable than rice, and there has not been much breakthrough in yield. The yield per mu is estimated at 420 catties. Compared with the wheat yield on the market, it is like a heaven and an underground.

No, as soon as the wheat yield was exposed, the eyes of everyone present turned red with excitement.

“…… How can sir prove it? These words cannot come out of nowhere. Since it is to be put on the table, there must be empirical evidence. Hua Shengying's excited chest fell together, pressed it hard, and calmly questioned.

Wang Shu didn't feel offended, after all, everyone would say big words, and only if there is a real thing can it be regarded as a skill.

"Naturally, there are physical objects."

Sooner or later, the experimental field will be exposed. Wang Shu asked Lin Er to put down the ears of rice: "The rice in the experimental field will be harvested at the beginning of October, and it will be weighed on the spot. If you want to see it for yourself, you can stay and watch. ”

In the study, there was a dead silence.

Chapter 121

That being said, not everyone will be able to stay in Lin'an County for a long time in October.

Some people are eager to see the real thing, and they want to see the so-called experimental field with a production capacity of 700 catties per mu immediately.

“…… In this case, I can also go to the experimental field today to observe it. "By the end of August, the rice was already fruitful, and the ears could be seen with the naked eye if most of the husks were empty. She happened to be about to take these people over, after all, seeing is believing, and hearing is false.

So far, no matter how beautiful it is, it is better to be genuine.

Wang Shu had also made arrangements in this regard. Just as the report came to an end, he simply asked Mo Sui to prepare a carriage and take the house to the experimental field in the northern suburbs.

A bunch of carriages are parked outside Hongfeng Bezhuang in the southern suburbs, and it is easy to pull them out.

At this time, these anxious doers couldn't even think of lunch, and just wanted to see Wang Shu's so-called experimental field as soon as possible. After all, rice can be eaten every day, and not everyone has the opportunity to see the experimental field. Xiao Yanxing naturally won't stop it, some things must be shown to be credible. He often took the time to go to the test field, and at this time, it did not prevent him from going with Wang Shu.

Red Maple Bezhuang is some distance from the northern suburbs. One south and one north, is equal to crossing the entire Lin'an County.

Although Lin'an County is a small county seat, it is actually quite prosperous because of its developed commerce. There are two great men in the city, and the city is not small. It took about half an hour for the carriage to run.

On a hot day, I sweat at every turn. Wang Shu leaned against the wall of the carriage, her cheeks flushed by the sun outside the window. Xiao Yanxing sat opposite her, took out the silk handkerchief in the sleeve cage, and carefully wiped the sweat on Wang Shu's head.

He is now completely accustomed to Wang Shu's unkempt temperament, and his appearance does not seem to be as important as Wang Shu. Now Xiao Yanxing does not deliberately ridicule Wang Shu with words. When I saw that she had dirty feces on her hands, I wiped the sweat on her forehead.

The curtains of the car were hung up, and the bright light shone in through the window, half of Xiao Yanxing's body was half-sunned.

Xiao Yanxing's black hair is like a high-grade ink forging, and his hair is like a fluttering willow when it is blown by the wind, which makes his skin like condensed fat and his eyes like cold stars. No matter how hot the weather is, he has a refreshing attitude. The jagged collarbone looms over the neckline, and the slender neck has a sharp jaw. Xiao Yanxing's crow-like eyelashes were half-drooping, covering his amber pupils, and he could only see the broken starlight under his eyes...... Really handsome.

Sometimes Wang Shu is surprised that he doesn't use a skin care product, how can a person who is often out and about look so elegant and fair-skinned. But when I think about it, I'm pretty much the same. Every day under the sun, it is as white as a dough, and I suddenly feel that this is the power of heredity.

Xiao Yanxing could naturally find that Wang Shu was looking at him, and let her look at him. It's funny to say that one day, he Xiao Yanxing has also been reduced to the point of using his face to please people.

However, it is thanks to him that he was born with such a pleasing skin, otherwise he really doesn't know how to keep the person in front of him.

But if he was born poorly, Shu'er would not be by his side today.

Wang Shu didn't know that Xiao Yanxing was related to her heart, and the things she had been thinking about for a long time had preliminary results, and a hanging stone in her heart fell to the ground.

"Mo Sui, go to the melon field in a while and pick ten cold melons." Wang Shu let Xiao Yanxing carefully wipe the fine sweat on her neck for her, and shouted outside the carriage, "Take the well water and spew it." ”

Mo Sui responded, Wang Shu was in the cold melon field in the northern suburbs, Mo Sui still recognized it.

The carriage soon arrived near the test field.

I have to say that the sudden appearance of so many unfamiliar carriages made the tenants near the test field very shocked. Because of the concealment of Wang Shu's hybridization experiments, there are usually not too many people here. In the past, when she was in Qinghe Town, these tenants who worked with Wang Shu were personally lectured by her father Wang Chengjin and knew the importance of food here. Once outsiders come to inquire, they can't reveal anything.

In this way, they also developed the alert temperament of the tenants, and as soon as they heard the wind and grass, they immediately went to Zhuangzi to find someone. The people on the Zhuangzi had greeted Wang Shu early, knowing that someone might come today. Peony personally stepped in to calm the panicked tenants.

Everyone followed Wang Shu into the experimental field area. As soon as you step over the fence, you can see endless green waves. It is mixed with golden color, and in the bright sunshine, it seems that broken gold is sprinkled in the green waves.

Wang Shu has always cherished it on the side of the test field, and easily does not allow people to step on it.

Although it covers a large area, it takes a long time to walk there, but anyone who enters this area must get off the carriage and walk on two legs.

Xiao Yanxing and Wang Shu walked in front, and the others naturally didn't dare to shout tired.

The group went to the measurement area first. The 12 generations of species in this area have been effective in all experimental areas.

Sure enough, everyone saw the dense rice plants. The plump ears of rice fell heavily between the leaves, and were swayed a few times by the wind. The air is filled with the fragrance of plants and trees, and there is a refreshing smell. Although it has not yet grown to the golden color of the harvest, it is already possible to see the future of rice planting.

The scene seen with his own eyes was far more shocking than the conclusion he came from listening to Wang Shu's mouth. Especially this carriage all the way through Lin'an County, the driver played tricks and deliberately took people around.

There are also other farmers in Lin'an County who grow rice. During the carriage detour, Wang Shu also took people to the nearby farmland to inspect it with his own eyes. The sparse covering plants and shriveled rice husks are worlds different from the scene in front of them at this time.

Not to mention that these people who have never seen it gasped, even Xiao Yanxing has often come to see it during this period of time, and he also felt a great shock.

The eyes of several old gentlemen were moist. The old gentleman Hua Shengying, who used to be the big Si Nong, burst into tears, pushed away the subordinates who supported him, and stumbled down the ridge by himself.

He lay on the edge of the ridge and carefully observed the ears of rice in the test field.

"It's true! It's true! Hua Shengying was a little incoherent with excitement, "This huge particle, it must be good to scoop it out!" ”

Mr. Mu's hands trembled with excitement. He has lived in the Wang's small courtyard for almost two years and has been personally teaching Wang Xuanzhi to read and write. Although he knew that Wang Shu often went out, he was tinkering with some kind of work in the paddy field. But I didn't really come to see it, and I didn't know that Wang Shu was busy with this important event every day. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and will be a great event for thousands of years!

"Big girl, big girl, talent!" Mr. Mu also leaned over and squatted on the ridge.

Needless to say, the others leaned over to take a look.

Wang Shu pointed to the wooden sign in front of the experimental field, which was not affected by the excitement of the people present, and his voice was still steady: "This is the twelfth generation of Area A." The trait of the test is that the grain is huge, and the main thing is to head out the rice seed to ensure that each rice can be full enough. Over there is the twelfth generation B area, and the main trait of the test is high seed setting rate, that is, there are more heading and more fruit particles. ”

The large grains and the fruiting are actually two traits. Heading and fruiting are more, and the yield of rice is naturally guaranteed. Some rice seeds do not bear much, but the grains of rice seeds are full enough to ensure a certain yield.

Previously, it was difficult to distinguish between the purpose of the experiment in Area A and Area B. It was only when a group of people wandered around to Area B and saw with their own eyes more rice seeds and fruits on the ears of rice that they understood the difference between the two directions.

Wang Shu didn't bother to speak, so she let them see for themselves.

As long as you don't trample on the grain indiscriminately, it is not a problem to let them move on the ridges.

The area of the measurement intersection is divided into six pieces. The study of six traits is mainly carried out. The main reason is that there are not enough people for the experiment, and Wang Shu can't manage too many directions alone. In addition, Wang Shu also took people to see the Dingpei area. The experimental areas for targeted cultivation are also divided into 12. Each region was divided into four sub-regions according to the categories of drought tolerance, cold tolerance, and insect pest resistance, and they were compared and studied.

At this time, the rice area is only halfway through, and there are still several places that have not been seen. As for the wheat area, it is impossible for Wang Shu to lead people to scurry around in the ridges this afternoon, sweating all over his head.

The magpie was worried about her heat stroke and kept fanning her after her.

Wang Shu was so tired that she was sweating when she saw the magpie, so she simply let the people who were still unsatisfied go to eat.

"The test area is too big, and you can't see it all in two days." Wang Shu said to Xiao Yanxing that Xiao Yanxing is really a strange person. The others were about to faint when they were hot, and he was stunned that he didn't sweat at all. The refreshed appearance made Wang Shu wonder if he had a cooling on his body?

Xiao Yanxing laughed: "Without that ability, people who practice martial arts are naturally calm and cool." ”

Laughing, let Mo Sui bring the other excited people back to Zhuangzi.

It's past lunch, but it's still going to be eaten. Wang Shu sat down and realized that he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he hurriedly asked the people in Zhuangzi to prepare lunch. The lark brought the chilled mung bean soup and hurriedly sent it to Wang Shu to give her a bowl to drink. Wang Shu sat on the chair for a while, and the blackness in front of her eyes was relieved.

Everyone reluctantly came out of the test area, and Lily of the Valley asked people to take out the cold melon that had been swayed early and cut it.

Originally, everyone was still wondering what kind of melon this was, but the old Mr. Hua Shengying, the former big Si Nong, recognized it. He was surprised that the gourd was green, and although it quenched his thirst, it had a bitter taste. Why does this melon smell so sweet?

Mr. Mu had known it for a long time, and as early as two years ago, Wang Shu planted this melon for the first time, and he was fortunate to taste it. Every summer, Wang Xuanzhi will also honor him to relieve the heat. Seeing the strange attachment of the old man muttering, he kindly explained: "This is the cold melon." It is also a new species that has been improved by the side concubine. Taste it, it's sweet! ”

Hua Shengying didn't realize the words 'side concubine Niangniang', but she only heard that it was a cold melon, so she took a bite of it.

As soon as I took a bite of it, a sweet aroma went straight to Tianling Gai'er from the mouth. The plump juice is mixed with a refreshing sweetness, and many people have never eaten such delicious melons and fruits. Even the lychee in the south, which was named the most delicious in Daqing, may not have this refreshing sweetness.

"This! This cold gourd is so good! "Hua Shengying now looks at Wang Shu, as pious as looking at Jin Bodhisattva.

Wang Shu didn't have so much thought to explain, improving watermelons was luck. If she wants to change to the level of the next generation, she may not be able to succeed.

A mouthful of cold melon was eaten by several adults present with tears and praise. Wang Shu didn't feel too relieved about these admirations, after all, everything she did was just picking up people's teeth. What is really worth remembering is the martyrs who created a precedent in agricultural science. Wang Shu and Xiao Yanxing had a meal alone, and the rest of the things were explained to tomorrow, and then they went back.

She spent the afternoon wandering around the test field, and by this time it was getting late.

The sun is setting, and the mountains and forests not far from the northern suburbs are already full of shadows. Some of the old adults are also old, although they have not shouted tired after running with Wang Shu for an afternoon, they are actually very tired. Some of them were weak, and they sat on the ground for a long time without relieving their breath.

Xiao Yanxing then ordered someone to send these people back to Hongfeng Villa.

No matter how reluctant the elders are, they can only go back first. I'll see the rest tomorrow.

Originally, these people came to Lin'an County and left after a day or two. But after looking at the test plot, everyone changed their minds and wanted to see the wheat area as well. After all, there is more dry land in the northwest than paddy fields, and rice is not the big head, but wheat is the big head. Again, they also want to see the beautiful dream with their own eyes, and look at these things a few more times, as if the road to the future prosperity is a lot more open.

The implementation of agricultural science is not a simple sentence, and there are many things that need to be done.

In addition to the need for scientific settings in the institution, the more difficult problem is promotion.

Good varieties need to be promoted, and if they are not promoted, in this ancient world when information is closed, farmers will only continue to grow according to the planting experience left by their ancestors. The advantages of the real breed must be widely publicized. Farmers will be willing to give up the old seed and buy the new one. Naturally, seeds cannot be distributed free of charge, but must be sold for a fee. Otherwise, even if the Wang family is huge, it will not be able to withstand such free charity. However, how to negotiate this price depends on the research of people at the grassroots level. Research out a reasonable price so that all the people at the bottom can afford it.

And you have to verify your identity to buy good seeds, Wang Shu doesn't want the good seeds she worked so hard to improve will end up fattening the pockets of the family.

This series of things requires fine setup and differentiation. Wang Shu is not sensitive enough in politics and practice, and these things have to be arranged by Xiao Yanxing. He had to formulate a protective policy to ensure that the agricultural sciences served the poor at large.

After a tired day, Wang Shu returned to the Wang family's courtyard and fell asleep.

Xiao Yanxing's physical strength against the sky, he is pressed for time. He is indispensable for the northwest frontier defense, and now the agricultural science is bound to continue to build with thunderous deterrence. As Wang Shu said, if you want to really benefit the people, Xiao Yanxing has to do more difficult work than Wang Shu's. He faced all the big families, rich merchants and wealthy families in Liangzhou, Daqing's laws, and the shortcomings of policies.

Once such a large piece of fat is exposed, there will be no shortage of jackals, tigers and leopards chasing after them when they smell the meat. Not to mention the many reforms made by Xiao Yanxing, which have impacted the interests of the Daqing aristocracy, may cause anger and strong resistance among some people.

Xiao Yanxing didn't sleep that night, and gathered many advisers to discuss the establishment of agricultural science and other issues in the study all night.
