Chapter 166: Hybrid Rice

Xiao Han got up and took the teacup with both hands, "Thank you for the general's kindness, there are three officials who have appeal on Gong Xianrong's side, including Prime Minister Zuo, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Households." There are also some local officials, whose subordinates have already made a list, please take a look at the general!" After the words fell, Xiao Han took out a fold from his arms and respectfully handed it to the general.

Bailidu took the fold, took a cursory glance, and a trace of murderous aura crossed his deep eyes, "This thing is done well, tomorrow you will go to court with Ben." ”

The sky gradually darkened, but the rain outside had no intention of stopping, and after Bailidu ordered the lantern, the two of them discussed the specific matters of tomorrow's court in the flower hall.

A ray of sunshine in the early morning shone into the bedroom, Xiao Xuan stretched his waist and sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes and looked out the window, the rain stopped at some point, he got out of bed and pushed the window, fresh air poured in from outside, took a deep breath, and felt that all the cells were active. He grabbed his coat and put it on his body and rushed out.

"Sanggu, are you up?" Xiao Xuan ran to Sanggu's bedroom and reached out and knocked lightly on the door.

"It's coming. From inside the room came the voice of Kusangya and his reluctance. "Sister-in-law, you're too early. ”

Xiao Xuan dragged Sang Gu with one hand and shook her vigorously, "Wake up, let's go shopping, I want to send something to those refugees." ”

At the mention of those refugees, Sanger thought of the man named Di Ting, and his face suddenly turned red, "Sister-in-law, I won't go." I still have something to do in the house today!"

"What can you do with a lady, accompany me. Xiao Xuan didn't give up, she not only wanted to see those refugees, but also wanted to build some free porridge shops in the capital, so that those beggars could eat better.

Seeing that Xiao Xuan couldn't be said, Sang Gu immediately took her hand and said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, you come with me." ”

Xiao Xuan followed her inexplicably, all the way to a yard, this yard is different from the outside, there are some crops planted in it, such as rice, some she knows, but there are some she doesn't know.

Xiao Xuan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sanggu, you are a girl, what are you doing with these things?"

Sang Gu pointed to a pond in front of him, "Sister-in-law, don't look at my brother's silver, but his grain and grass are not particularly abundant, and these grains may not be able to be bought with silver. ”

"Hybrid rice!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed, looking at Sang Gu with admiration in her eyes, she didn't expect that she would be able to think of these things!

"Sister-in-law, how do you know it's hybrid?" Sang Gu was stunned, even her brother said that she was tossing blindly, but she didn't expect her thoughts Xiao Xuan to understand.

"How many years have you been making this thing?" Xiao Xuan bent down to look at the small seedlings that had just grown, this one was all hybrid rice, and the growth was gratifying.

"This is the third year, and when we harvested last autumn, only two or three plants had two ears, and I planted both ears of rice here. After the words fell, Sang Gu pointed to the pond again, "That one is a single rice, I plan to cross the two varieties when it blooms this year to see if I can breed multiple plants." ”

"Sanggu, you are too powerful!" Xiao Xuan looked at her with admiration, she was simply talented.

She remembered that it took a long time and a lot of manpower to develop hybrid rice in her time, but she didn't expect that Mulberry Valley could grow two rice plants on her own. In fact, Xiao Xuan didn't know that Sang Gu was originally a rice plant in Heavenly Court to become an immortal, and he was naturally good at these grains.

Sang Gu was a little embarrassed by Xiao Xuan's words, took Xiao Xuan's hand and walked forward again, and continued, "Corn is planted here, and most of the grain and grass in the barracks are corn-based, one is the high yield of corn, and the other is that corn is relatively cheap compared to rice, and corn leaves and stems can be used as feed for horses. Last year, I planted corn with a maximum of five cobs per plant, and all of them were relatively full, and I had left them for seed. Sister-in-law, the reason why I can't go out with you right now is because these corns have already bloomed, and I have to draw out the male flowers to pollinate them by hand, and this corn field is enough for me to be busy for a few days. ”

After saying this, Sang Gu took Xiao Xuan to the stone table, took a cushion and put it on the stone bench, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, you sit here, I went to work, I hope these things can help my brother in the future, and let the suffering people live a good life as soon as possible, I will be satisfied." ”

Xiao Xuan wanted to help, but looking at the arm hanging from her neck, she dispelled this idea again, and it would be good if she didn't make a mess now. I always feel that Sang Gu is a lady who doesn't know anything, but I didn't expect her to have this open-mindedness, but it seems that she is not atmospheric enough in comparison.

Watching Sang Gu walk into the cornfield and tear the flowers intently, Xiao Xuan quietly walked inside. There is a warehouse not far away, which I think is a place where Kuwagu used to store things.

When I got closer, I saw potatoes and sweet potatoes on the ground. It's been a year since I've been here for the first time I've seen these two things, originally she thought that there was no such thing in this world, these two things were passed down from the Song Dynasty to Middle Earth in her memory, and Tiandi heard that this era was continued from the Tang Dynasty, and there were no dynasties after the Song Dynasty at all.

"Sanggu..."Xiao Xuan picked up the potatoes and sweet potatoes and walked back the same way.

"What's the matter?" Sangoku walked out of the cornfield, saw the things she was holding in her hand, and smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing with them?"

"I wanted to eat them, I thought there weren't them here, I didn't expect to find them here. Xiao Xuan looked greedy and playfully stuck out his tongue.

"Can you eat this? do you know them?" Sanggu was a little surprised, this thing was brought back when she was in the mountains before, because everyone didn't know it, so she didn't dare to eat it, she only knew that this thing had a very good yield, and often used this thing to feed the puppy with some vegetables, although she didn't eat the puppy to death, but she still didn't dare to give it to people.

"The smaller ones are called potatoes, and the bigger ones are called sweet potatoes. It's delicious. Xiao Xuan is not surprised, it is normal that the people here don't know each other, "Sanggu, this thing is best if it is used to supply your brother's army." ”

"Can you really eat it?" Kuangu was very happy, she would plant a few plants every year, and by the time of the autumn harvest, she would be able to harvest a lot, and if the soldiers were allowed to plant in the open space on the outskirts of Beijing, it would grow

There were only two people left in the huge flower hall, Bailidu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Han personally, and pushed it in front of him, "Xiao Han, you have worked hard during this time, how many officials in the court have fallen to Gong Xianrong?"
