After that, as Zhu Ziliu told before, the four disciples of "Fishing Wood Cultivation and Reading" responded separately, and Zhu Ziliu came to Mount Emei after careful analysis to meet on this route to no avail, and then there was a series of stories of encounters with Li Mochou, and the group of people such as the short man Xiong Lao Er were the thirty-six island owners and seventy-two cave masters who were tracked after hearing the news.
Wu Xiuwen's brows furrowed after hearing this, and he couldn't help but think of the veiled woman in the white dress he met on the shore of Qinghai Lake and Mount Emei. When he described the matter in detail with Zhu Ziliu, the two of them combined that this girl should be the descendant of Xuzhu, but now they don't know where they are. However, since Master Yideng recalled Zhu Ziliu, this woman should have been out of danger.
Wu Xiuwen and Zhu Ziliu decided to set off to rush back to Dali first, Wu Xiuwen planned to go home to have a look, and Zhu Ziliu needed to report the matter of him and Li Mochou to Master Yideng as much as possible, and obtaining the consent of Master Yideng first was the most important thing in his heart.
There were no accidents all the way, a few days later, the four of them hurried back to Dali, Wu Xiuwen went home with the fortune, Wu Sanniang and Wu Santong were naturally happy, although it was a pity that Wu Dunru did not come back together, but they naturally knew through a special channel that Wu Dunru had gotten rid of the danger at this time and was continuing to practice.
And Zhu Ziliu took Li Mochou non-stop to find the master of a lamp, as Wu Xiuwen guessed, the master of a lamp is very open. Teach the two of them earnestly. agreed to the matter of the two. And promised that as long as Li Mochou was truly repentant, if there was any difficulty in the future, Master Yideng would also do his best to help, which made Zhu Ziliu and Li Mochou moved.
When Li Mochou took her to meet the three senior brothers when Zhu Ziliu took her, she was still a little embarrassed to see Wu Santong and Wu Sanniang, after all, the two sides had a fierce battle at the beginning, and now because Zhu Ziliu met again, fortunately, Wu Santong is also an open-minded person, as long as the junior brother Zhu Ziliu likes it. He doesn't care, and Wu Sanniang is a virtuous and understanding woman, of course she won't give everyone a problem, she warmly took Li Mochou's hand, and the eldest sister and the younger sister chatted shortly, and after a while, everyone released their suspicions and got along very well.
During this period, Wu Xiuwen also visited Master Yideng with his father Wu Santong, and was fortunate to receive some encouragement and teachings from Master Yideng, which benefited him a lot. More than half a month later, Wu Xiuwen and Shi Yun bid farewell to Wu Santong and Wu Sanniang, and set off again, preparing to travel all the way and finally return to Peach Blossom Island. And the day before leaving Dali. Wu Xiuwen received a great piece of good news, and there was already news about the corn that Wu Dunru had asked everyone to pay attention to.
It turned out to be a merchant who often traveled back and forth between the Central Plains, Dali, Southeast Asia and even more distant regions. Because of the perennial exchanges, and Dali people are very familiar, this time from the outside back passing by Dali, the first time to make a special trip to Zhu Ziliu's house to inform that Zhu Ziliu at the request of Wu Dunru asked him to inquire about the crop corn has already had eyebrows, he has asked another familiar foreign businessman to help buy a large number of people, is expected to be transported to Dali in a few months.
This news made Wu Xiuwen excited, but he had heard Wu Dunru detail the high yield and strong adaptability of corn, which in his previous life had become one of the three major food crops. With this high-yielding and widely suitable crop, the living standards of the common people can be greatly improved, and the national strength can be greatly enhanced, and only by increasing the national strength can we better resist the Mongols' entry into >
Wu Dunru once said that many historians believe that one of the main reasons for the invasion of steppe nomads in Chinese history and even human history is that the development of the productive forces of the agricultural society is difficult to meet the requirements of social development, and the national strength is declining, thus giving the brave and warlike nomads the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains.
And they want to save the land of China from the flames of war, the lives of people, and the powerful Mongol Empire, but it is difficult to achieve it with the strength of their people and even troops. It is necessary to improve the overall strength of the Central Plains, and the bumper harvest of agricultural production will lead to the improvement of the living standards of the common people, so that the national strength will be strong, the armed forces can be stronger on this basis, and the all-round development of all aspects of society can have enough strength to resist foreign aggression.
I don't know much about these things, but he is right, the introduction of corn is absolutely beneficial and harmless, and it can definitely help social development. My brother will be very happy to know this news!" Wu Xiuwen thought to himself.
Wu Xiuwen immediately discussed with Zhu Ziliu in detail some collection, storage and other details, but don't be depressed if the corn you worked so hard to find was eaten freshly by someone, as for the more detailed arrangements, Wu Dunru and Zhu Ziliu need to discuss and decide at that time.
Wu Xiuwen and Shi Yun left Dali in a good mood, prepared to cross Liangguang according to the planned route, and then passed through Guò Fujian, all the way to Taohua Island along the coast.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and after going out of the island for so long, it has always been thrilling, and fighting all the way can be regarded as dangerous, and now it is finally impossible to come.
In Guangdong, Wu Xiuwen found the home of a middle-aged man whose son had inherited his father's business and traveled to and from the Maritime Silk Road in accordance with the address and special method of Huang Yaoshi, who had previously delivered the news. His parents had been shipwrecked at sea and were rescued by Huang Yaoshi who was passing by, and when Huang Yaoshi came to them for help at the request of Wu Dunru, the family made great efforts to find the main characteristics of Wu Dunru provided by Huang Yaoshi and attached the characteristics of the crops with pictures.
The father of the family had not been to sea for many years, but he mobilized all his connections to help find him, and his two sons went to many places with many fleets of ships. In the end, Huang Tian lived up to his wishes, and happened to return to his home in Guangdong with a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes three days before the arrival of Wu Xiuwen and Shi Yun.
When they were about to pass the news to Huang Yaoshi through the guò beggar gang, Wu Xiuwen and Shi Yun happened to arrive, and the Tian brothers were serious people. Not only did I bring back potatoes and sweet potatoes. He even found someone from the local area to write down the planting methods of these two crops in detail. From the soil, water and fertilizer, sowing time, sowing method, cultivation management, final harvest, storage method, and even cooking methods, even the precautions that the small shoots born from potatoes are poisonous and inedible are clearly marked. It is much more detailed than the explanation left by Wu Dunru, after all, Wu Dunru only knows about it because of his hobby, not a professional practitioner of agricultural production.
Wu Xiuwen's surprise when he saw these things was naturally self-evident, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he thought that even if he could find these crops, it would take several years. Finding these crops so early allows farmers to farm them in advance. We will be able to develop agriculture in a more timely manner, and this is a good thing that will benefit the present generation and the future generations.
The father and son of the father named Tian Dafu, the eldest son named Tian Yalin, and the younger son Tian Yahai will surely leave their names in the course of China's agricultural development from now on, so that future generations will remember their contributions. Wu Xiuwen thought in his heart, and the actions of the father and son made him very admirable, and they needed such a partner to help their future careers, so Wu Xiuwen was very enthusiastic and had in-depth and friendly exchanges with this family, which laid a good foundation for future development.
However, there was something more surprising to him. Tian Yalin and Tian Yahai felt that Huang Yaoshi liked these things, so they took great pains to bring back peanuts and sunflowers, two relatively fresh and rare plants, to Huang Yaoshi. In this way, they expressed their father and son's gratitude to Huang Yaoshi, and both of them were also accompanied by detailed cultivation instructions.
Although Wu Xiuwen didn't know much, he had also heard Wu Dunru say that peanuts and sunflowers were only introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and now they are at least hundreds of years ahead of history!
Subsequently, Tian Yalin found it difficult to get another plant out of the warehouse, and Wu Xiuwen exclaimed after seeing it: "Tomatoes!" Tian Yalin glanced at Wu Xiuwen, who was inexplicably excited, and shook his head and said: "I don't know what it's called, but it's very popular with the locals, and it is regarded as a good ornamental fifth middle school." Huang Engong would look good if he put a few pots at home!"
Wu Xiuwen smiled dumbly, he couldn't help but think of an interesting story that Wu Dunru had told him before. Tomatoes, whose scientific name is tomato, were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty. For a long time, as Tian Yalin said, it was used as a group of ornamental plants. There is a book written in 1621 in the "Qunfang Spectrum": "Persimmon, a June persimmon, the stem is like artemisia, four or five feet high, the leaves are like wormwood, the flowers are like pomegranates, a branch bears five or three or four fruits, and one counts twenty or thirty reals." Binding as a frame, the most impressive. It comes from the West, hence the name. ”
It wasn't until the eighteenth century that someone ventured into eating the tomato and learned about its edible value. According to legend, there was a French painter who saw that the tomato was so tempting, so he had the idea of tasting what it tasted like, but he did not have the courage to eat it, but for the sake of posterity, so he was bold and risked poisoning to death, ate one, and put on his clothes and lay on the bed waiting for the "Grim Reaper" to come, but after a long time he did not feel any discomfort in his body, so he simply continued to eat again, only felt that there was a sweet and sour taste, and the body was still safe and sound. In China, it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that people began to eat tomatoes.
Wu Xiuwen looked at this tomato, which now only bears a few green fruits, and silently thought in his heart that today was really a lucky day! He actually received five kinds of crops, namely potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts, sunflowers, and tomatoes, in one day. Immediately, Wu Xiuwen summoned the local beggars to help the disciples to send these things back to Peach Blossom Island in batches, and instructed them to help the Tian family as much as possible.
Even Wu Xiuwen left some silver tickets for the Tian family, and devoted himself to the martial arts of Tian Yalin and Tian Yahai and his son, which need to go out often to beg for a living, in order to better protect themselves, they generally have some martial arts.
Shi Yun also introduced the connections that his family had accumulated for generations, which are now beginning to divert to the Maritime Silk Road, to the Tian brothers, so that they could have more contacts in the future and help each other.
