Chapter 397: Boy, You Aroused My Interest
Of the four jars brought by the Chifang clan, the glass jar is an important thing, and the remaining few agricultural and sideline products have also caused a sensation here, but for the south, planting mushrooms is a more troublesome situation.
Therefore, next, is the key point that Yu Zai wants to talk about.
That is "merit-based cultivation".
There are also wizards in the market, although there are not many, such as the wizards of the Yuhong clan came to see the scene, although it is not open but the bad people are here, at this time, Yu Zai will take this opportunity to first tell you about the next grain production plan in the countryside.
Planting soybean in the south, the yield is far less than that in the north, and the planting area must also be selected, can not be planted on too wet soil, although soybeans like temperature, but the soil moisture in the south is too large, and insect pests are frequent, so it is necessary to prepare the land, and the arable land of the soybean is rectified, which is much more troublesome than the rice field.
The so-called half the effort, probably that's it, so, at the beginning, the tiller sprouts planted mushrooms, but they were only barely able to maintain an edible level, and life was still relatively tight.
"Do you know about oranges?"
For wizards, oranges certainly know.
.........
According to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of Zhongshan", there are also orange trees among the fruit trees that grow luxuriantly on Lun Mountain. Three hundred and fifty miles to the northeast again, it is called Lun Mountain, its wood is many catalpa trees, many peach branches, many chestnuts, oranges, and trees, and its beasts are many lu, lu, hall, and lay.
And in the Lun Mountain, there are also many cuckoos, that is, cuckoos.
As for the four beasts in the back, Lu, Lu, Hall, and Dian, from a literal point of view, Lu is the door, and the hall is the house.
In "Ji Yun", it is said that Lu is a thing that looks like a donkey, but it has a horn on its head and a forked thumb on its hooves, and basically the image is "a one-horned donkey." ”
The hall (hall) is a rooster-like bird of prey, but this statement comes from the Ming Dynasty, that is, no one thought about what this thing should look like before the Ming Dynasty, and no one has ever seen it.
It is a deer creature, and its tail is the raw material of the ancient dust, and it is the prototype of the "fairy deer".
As for "Dien", this beast, which symbolizes death, is said to have blue fur in later commentaries, and looks like a large rabbit, but has the hooves of a deer.
.........
Yu Zai said to them: "Oranges are born in the Lunzhi Mountain of Huaidi, near the middle reaches of Huaishui, oranges are born in Huainan for oranges, and born in Huaibei is oranges, the leaves are the same, but the taste is different, so what?"
What is the reason for this?
People looked at each other, and of course Yu Zai knew that in fact, oranges and oranges were not the same thing at all, but at this time it didn't matter, just to tell everyone a new truth.
"It's because of the difference between the water and the soil. ”
Yu Zai said: "In the north, it can be planted in a large area, and the yield is higher than that in the south, and no matter how the fields are cultivated in the south, the planting of soybean is not as good as in the north, and in the same way, wheat is planted in the north, and the south cannot be planted, but the rice in the south can be planted in the north, which is because the adaptability of rice is better than that of wheat." ”
"Grains, crops, are produced according to different production areas, and have different characteristics, some like drought, some like paddy fields, some are planted in the highlands, and some are grown at the edge of the water. ”
"Natural selection, water and soil are different, so the valley is different. ”
"Therefore, we need to select the best and cultivate, in fact, it is very different from what everyone used to do, that is, to choose those that grow well, to keep them, in the selected good land, in the standard climate of the south, to carry out the artificial cultivation of the next generation, regular pest control and weeding, so that generation after generation, year after year, these native grains will be more and more adapted to the geographical environment of the south. ”
"A long, long time ago, grains were also weeds, and in the time of the Three Emperors, some people found that these grains could be eaten, although they did not taste good, but they could fill the stomach and did not have a negative impact on the body, so these weeds were preserved. ”
"During the time of Shennong's family, Shennong continued to domesticate these grains, and finally found the most suitable batch for farming, which is the predecessor of the five grains. ”
"It only takes half a year for grain to grow, and a person can live for a hundred years in his life, and a person's life is two hundred or two hundred years of grain, and its adaptation to heaven and earth has long surpassed that of the human race. ”
"And in addition to slow domestication, there is another method that can greatly shorten the time of this domestication, and that is hybridization. ”
When Yu Zai said this, everyone else was a little stunned, and Yu Zai smiled:
"I know that there may be a place where there is a suitable soybean for us, so that the soybean of that place can be crossed with the soybean of our place, and finally the new soybean produced can be completely adapted to the climate of the south. ”
This place is the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which should be called the Southwest Wilderness at this time.
If the topography of the mountain and sea world is not much different from that of ancient China, then all the way to the southwest wilderness, there should be many special species of native mushrooms near the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is a subtropical monsoon climate, and the wild mushrooms near the river basin are likely to be the subspecies above the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.
In order to adapt to the environment, they reduce their own yields in exchange for vigorous vitality, but now, with a large number of cultivation of the human race, they will complete another "environmental adaptation" in the cultivation process.
It's just that most people don't seem to know much about the so-called "hybridization", so some people tentatively ask: "What is hybridization? Is it a hybridization between rice and a big mushroom? This can't grow anything, right?"
"Hey, can the jujube be hybridized with the jujube?
Mother, why don't you plant a gourd baby, seven flowers on a vine, a jujube in front and a watermelon in the back.
This picture seems to be a bit excessive, if you want to grow watermelons, I am afraid you will have to go to Egypt to talk to the Pharaoh about cross-border trade.
The market was suddenly noisy, and the wizards quickly understood the meaning of Yu Zai because of their higher intelligence, that is, the next generation of varieties born by hybridizing the same kind of grain and seeds from different regions!
They immediately became excited: "This, if it succeeds, will Zigu have the excellent characteristics of the mother valley?"
But some people questioned: "When your mother and your father gave birth to you, not only did you not inherit their good points, but inherited all their bad points, which is called biological." ”
"Hahaha, grains are not the same as people!"
Yu Zai immediately laughed and explained to them that plants don't have self-thoughts, but things like Shanbo, which are too rare in the world.
The cooperative is ready to open a "test field", which requires better plants from each tribe, and then conducts the first hybrid experiment between mountains and seas.
When the people of the Central Plains heard this, they were also surprised, and several Qi Refiners suddenly brightened their eyes, and the north gate became a pair of Yu He Gan and said, "What do you think of this place now?"
The old gentleman kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, but it seemed that he was still a little unconvinced.
But at this time, a voice interrupted the noise, and the prince Changqin came over and saw Zhu Rong at a glance!
"Father!"
This sound made Yu Zai a little stunned.
————
In the crowd, there was a handsome and tall man with a golden axe on his back, who did not speak during the whole process, after watching and listening to a lot of knowledge that Yu Zai said before, as well as those strange agricultural and sideline products, at this time, the corner of his mouth smiled slightly.
Boy, you have piqued my interest.
So he turned around, his body flickered, and he suddenly disappeared in the same place, just above the nine heavens, suddenly the clouds gradually rose, and there was a heavenly dragon with wings on its back, rolling up the wind and clouds, and falling into a certain mountain not far away.
Because the red pine nuts have been affecting the wind and rain system in the south recently, they have finally alarmed a certain "rain god" here in the south.
When he woke up, the thunder shook the four poles, filled the nine towers, the sea rose up, the clouds were subordinate, the stars arched, and the universe was quickly filled with the universe, and it was collected into the infernal land!
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic":
"In the northeast corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain called the fierce plough mound. Ying Long is in the South Pole, killing Chi You and Kuafu, can not be restored, so the next number of droughts, drought and the shape of the dragon, is a heavy rain!"
"Ying Long has killed Chi You, and killed Kuafu, but he went to the south, so it is rainy in the south!"
