It was customary for these beans to be a tribute to the Holy City as a gift, but Menes always liked to break conventions and break conventions, so all these beans were intercepted, as if they were not traded.

Menes classified these beans, but all the beans with an intact outer skin were ready to be planted, and Menes certainly did not grow coffee trees, only knowing that these crops generally grow in places with plenty of tropical rainfall, and the origin should be in the highlands and other places.

Menes sat in the hall of the Mojia Academy and looked at the coffee beans in a daze, no one in the territory would grow this plant, and even if these seeds were available, Menes was going to reclaim a small piece of land in the academy for use as a test field, but he didn't dare to start, and if he failed to plant it, he would have to wait for next year.

While he was in a daze, Gu A came over and said, "My lord, do you have any coffee?" I want to have a drink. ”

"Old man Gua, there is not much coffee, according to our way of drinking, it will be a month at most, and it will all be used up, if we can grow it ourselves, it would be good if we could grow it ourselves, it is too troublesome to trade from Ponte, the danger of the vast sea is very high, and the local people trade very casually, they rely on wild picking of this kind of coffee beans, and it is not a way for a long time. Menes said.

Gu A grabbed a few coffee beans, held them in his hand, and said slowly, "These coffee beans are all dried and can't be used as seeds." ”

"Ahh

"Well, it's not completely dead, I'll try and maybe restore their vitality!"

"You're alive?"

"Yo hey, I forgot that you are a psychic snake blower, if you try it at the old man, you should be able to grow this plant, right?" Thinking of this, Menes felt as if there was a play, this old man has always been a hidden treasure.

"I'll give it a try, after all, it's the first time I've encountered this plant, and I don't know if it works!"

"It works, it works, it's all up to you, old man!"

Gu A reflexively returned to his room, and after a while he took his flute, and a potter came out, put the coffee beans on the pottery plate, turned the pottery plate and began to recite the ancient incantation, Gu A's incantation is a bit special, it is not the holy script language of the Kemert Kingdom, and the language of Gu A is completely incomprehensible.

Gua was a native of the Kingdom of Babel, but according to his own words, he was actually born in a more distant kingdom as a child, and later went to the Kingdom of Babel with his parents, and this language is the language of that distant kingdom, so few people can understand it.

Gu A recited the spell for a while, picked up the magic flute and began to play, with the melodious and tranquil music sounded, the coffee beans on the pottery plate actually rolled on their own, the coffee beans rolled faster and faster, and gradually divided into two parts, one left and one right rolled in different directions, part of the black beans that have been shelled and the white beans that have not been shelled roll in different directions and gradually form a pattern.

Menes was taken aback, this pattern is very familiar to Menes, this is the Tai Chi Bagua Diagram!

Menes looked at the old man in surprise, you can't be a Chinese nation, right?

Menes was still in shock, the coffee beans on the pottery plate actually emerged a green single seedling, one, two, three, more and more green seedlings, growing at a high speed, the pattern of Qiankun gossip was broken up, and all the sprouted coffee combined together to form a green bud.

The sound of Gua's flute stopped abruptly, and the flower buds fell rapidly, leaving only one of the lone seedlings.

Holding it in both hands, Gua carefully transplanted him into a flower pot and placed it in the sun, and a drop of condensate fell from the green leaves, seeping into the soil and nourishing the single seedling.

Menes was stunned, this old guy still has this trick?

"Old man, where did you learn the tricks, why didn't you say earlier that you have this special function?"

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest, my lord!" said Gua very tiredly.

"Quick, quick, quick, go and rest!" Menes immediately jumped up from the stool and helped the old man into the house to rest.

Is this the spell of plant cultivation and growth? Is this kind of technology used to improve crops? Menes suddenly thought of the respected grandfather Yuan Longping, Gu A is the Yuan Longping of this world!

The land in the river valley of the Kemert Kingdom is fertile, and the annual river flooding will bring a large number of humus plants from the upstream, giving the land full nourishment, plus the mild climate as long as there is hydraulic irrigation, the grain harvest is still good, but the yield of these plants is not high, they are all very primitive varieties, drought tolerance, alkali resistance, and insect resistance are very weak, so in general, the unit yield is not high, the yield ratio is particularly low, and the harvest ratio of some land with insufficient nutrients is actually one to two!

It means that one pound of seeds is thrown into the ground and planted, because of nutrients, irrigation, insects and birds, the crops that can really be harvested are only two catties, and only one pound can be used after leaving the seeds, even if the harvest ratio on fertile land is only one to four.

In another world, you can see heavy ears of wheat, which do not exist here, and there are not many wheat grains on each ear, and the wheat grains are very small, and the flour yield is also very low.

In this way, the efficiency of agricultural production is very low, and there are fewer people who can be fed per unit area.

When the old man is rested, I have to have a good chat with him, and the academy has one more subject!

Don't talk about genetic engineering, the previous accounts of coffee beans have been checked, yes, there was indeed a strange whereabouts of coffee beans three years ago, the lord at that time was Ankotifi, it stands to reason that he did not have Menes' habit of breaking the convention, so it should be handed over to the temple normally.

However, the accounts show that the shipment was given to a man named Pie, which is odd, which is very unconventional, and Jett asks about the temple, which the temple did not receive three years ago.

So what is certain is that this batch of goods must have been used elsewhere, and it is not flowing into the black market, because if it is sold to the black market, it should be accounted for by sales, and generally speaking, the accounts should not clearly record that it is Kaku beans, and it is not difficult to make a fake account.

So could this guy called Paipi be the one of the Temple? That's why Anktifi would keep a record, because in his opinion, it was also handed over to the Temple of the Holy City.

Jett thought about it carefully, there didn't seem to be anyone named Pippi in the entire Holy City, of course, the temple personnel that Jett could remember were usually high-ranking priests, and it was impossible to remember them all if there were many people in the entire temple.

The whole situation is still unsolved, and unless you can find this person called Pipi, you can continue to investigate.

Menes took Odysseus around to visit the entire territory these days, the newly completed city walls, towers, and fortresses safely wrapped the entire city, and the outer walls of the Holy Cat State extended outward, leaving plenty of open space for future development.

The inner city wall is the original city wall, Meines was completely demolished and rebuilt, and the city wall is built with the most advanced red brick and cement, which is tall and strong.

Odysseus stood under the city wall and was silent for a long time and said, "The city wall is really tall, my Trojan horse can also enter through the main gate, there is no need to tear down the city wall, your city will not fall!"

Menes snorted and laughed, Odysseus's Trojan horse is known to people all over the world, thinking that it is a tall and majestic Trojan horse, but in fact, the real Trojan horse is not big, the height is only about five meters, but the walls of Troy are relatively short.

"Hero of Troy, how many years will you need to besiege this city?" Menes asked deliberately and triumphantly.

Odysseus smiled strangely and said, "The walls are always attacked from the inside!"

Menes laughed when he heard this, yes, the strong walls could not withstand the attack of traitors.

Odysseus took his wife Penelope to visit the glass factory, and the clumps of glass viscous matter under the high temperature quickly turned into beautiful vases, necklaces, and containers under the blowing of the workers, and Odysseus and his wife were dazzled.

In particular, the colorful glass ornaments made Penelope fall in love, and Ipua accompanied Penelope to try on various jewelry, laughing and chatting.

Menes did not arrange for Nana to receive Penelope, because in this world, the status of the family is very important, and Menes can be casual in his own territory, but this is a reception messenger, and the title of Odysseus theory is the king of Ithaca, Nana's slave status will make people embarrassed and dissatisfied, so he specially arranged for his sister Ipiya to receive him.

"Oh, Queen Penelope Idaca, your beauty is breathtaking, and this necklace is perfect for your slender neck, and this one is beautiful!" said Ipuya.

"Oh, dear Ipuya, princess of flowers, you are the most beautiful flower of the kingdom!" Penelope complimented Ipua.

Penelope wore a necklace and looked left and right at the bronze mirror.

Ipuya smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Royal Highness, wait a minute, I'll show you something magical." ”

Ipuya ran into a secret room in the glass factory and walked out with a beautiful box.

"Dangdangdang...... Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful woman in the world!" Ipuya smiled and opened the box.

A shiny glass mirror appeared in front of him, and Penelope couldn't believe that he was so beautiful and clearly visible in the mirror!

"Oh my God, I'm here, I'm in there!" Penelope cheered.

"Shh......h Whisper, this is my brother's treasure, I took it out secretly!" Ipuya hurriedly went to cover Penelope's mouth.

As soon as Ipuya finished speaking, Menes and Odysseus walked in.

"Oh, Ipuya, you are naughty enough to show your brother's precious mirror to the beautiful Queen so quickly!" said Menes with a smile.

"Brother, you have to share the good things you said yourself, Her Royal Highness is so beautiful, this mirror is the most suitable for her!"

Curious, Odysseus walked over and looked at the mirror, "Oh my God, it's incredible, what kind of great magic is this? I'm actually in it!"

Menes said "This is not magic, this is a mirror is also made of glass, but the workmanship is more special, this mirror is not smooth and bright enough, we are still improving, so generally I don't take it out to see people, and then promote it after the process is completely perfected, this is also a big business!"

"Mistress Menes, you are incredible, you are the greatest magician in this world, your magic is boundless!" Odysseus still boiled this down to magic.

"Well, then I can thank the gods of machinery and technology!" Menes said.

"Thank you, the god of machines!" everyone said in unison.
