Chapter 41: Treasures
On the 25th, a seaport in Qiongzhou.
"Brother Jiefu seems to have a big opinion of me. ”
"Brother Junshi, look at Lingnan, and then look at the coalition government, it is imperative to change the law!"
On the rocks, the beach is dotted, and the innate masters are talking and laughing in groups, how the results of the round-the-world voyage are revealed today, Cheng Yi, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Liu Qin, etc. have all arrived, and there are almost no less than all the sects in the entire martial arts world within the radiation range of Confucian culture in the Great Song Dynasty.
"That's Qin Xianao?"
"Those two quarrels are Wang Anshi and Sima Guang!"
Naturally, Liu Qin, Qin Chao, Cheng Yi, Lu Gongshu, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others gathered together one by one in the academic world and stood in the best position.
No one dared to rob them, although no one said, but in the entire martial arts world, which scholar was the first and which was the second tier, everyone knew in their hearts.
If the second echelon insisted on getting into Qin Xianao, Cheng Yi, Sima Guang and the others, everyone's eyes would be able to kill him.
"It is imperative to change the law, but it is absolutely impossible to change it indiscriminately. ”
"Mistakes can be corrected in the process of doing, impossible, and the world can't find a perfect plan!" Wang Anshi and Sima Guang fought for red-facedness, and Qin Dynasty also argued with Cheng Yi about the way to rationalize qi, suddenly-
"Look!"
"It's coming!"
One by one, they looked over, only to see a black spot where the water and the sky meet, revealing a black spot, which is a mast tip, gradually more and more black spots, more and more masts are exposed, and soon a huge fleet of ships appeared in front of everyone.
"It's back!"
"They're finally back!" Cheng Yi stopped arguing with the Qin Dynasty, and Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also stopped arguing, and they all looked at the huge fleet, and soon the fleet was approaching. Then small boats rushed to the shore.
"It's them!"
"It's them!" looked at the people on the boat, one by one, they became excited, and soon the boat docked.
"Teacher, we're back!"
"Master, we succeeded! We really succeeded!" Figures flew up from the ship and rushed towards everyone. "Here!" "Senior Brother Liu, we are here!" on the beach. The innate masters on the rocks also rushed towards the fleet, and soon the crowd converged.
"How?"
"Do you really keep going east?" and then ......," asked one by one, and more than a hundred people rushed to the Qin Dynasty's side.
"Teacher, we made it!"
"Qin Gongzi, I'm back!"
It worked?
Really successful?
Cheng Yi, Sima Guang, Lu Gong, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Liu Qin...... Looking at these men who returned from extremely tanned.
"Whoosh!"
A figure knelt in front of Cheng Yi: "Teacher, after we passed Fusang, we kept walking east, and we didn't walk for long, and we encountered a continent. This continent is very huge, it took too long to cross this continent, after crossing this continent, it did not take long to sail in the sea, and we met the continent again, and we actually met Persian merchants on this continent, and then we knew that this land was indeed round, and we had reached what we usually call the country of the far west. And then ......"
"Bang!"
A figure fell in front of Sima Guang: "Teacher, this time go east." Although there were some twists and turns, sometimes to the northeast, sometimes to the southeast, but the general direction we can be sure has always been to the east, and we have actually walked into the country of what we usually call the Far West......"
Wang Anshi, Lu Gong, Dong Xiyan, Master Yuanzhao Zongben...... There are people in front of each big guy who report this trip.
"Young Master Qin!"
Huang Haiqiao walked in front of Qin Chao: "I can now be sure that this piece is a big ball. The ball was even smaller than we thought it would be!"
"Good! good!" Qin Chao was extremely excited in his heart, he had been in this world for so long, and this time he really felt that he had indeed greatly changed the course of this world, Qin Chao looked around.
Cheng Yi listened to the narration of his subordinates.
"It turns out that we really live on a ball, and this ball is really not that big!" Cheng Yi's eyes had a flowing light.
"Although I have long been sure that the land we live on is a ball. But ......" Sima Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was also a flowing light in his eyes, written by Wang Anshi and Lu Gong...... One by one, the leaders of each sect, many of them had tears in their eyes.
The inexplicable Qin Dynasty broke a shackle in his heart.
Since Wang Anshi's banquet in the Qin Dynasty said that he would pick the immortal fruit of the duality of wave particles, the Qin Dynasty has been in a tense state of thinking about picking fruits, even if he returned to Qinjiazhai for a big wedding, he still did not really relax.
This moment!
The real brain of the Qin Dynasty was relaxed, and there was no longer a formula for longevity.
"Lord Huangdao, what are the casualties on this voyage?" Qin Chao opened his mood and asked Huang Haiqiao, time has passed, it has been three days since he returned from the round-the-world voyage, and the round-the-world voyage has really been a great success, and the entire martial arts world is immersed in a celebration, Qingfeng Manor, Qin Chao put down the notes of Huang Haiqiao in his hand.
"The rubber has arrived, the sweet potatoes have arrived, and the corn has arrived......"
The whole Qin Dynasty is relaxed, all later generations know that the contribution of rubber to the society industry is immeasurable, it can be said that with the steam engine industrial revolution is just a small doll, but the steam engine plus rubber, plus chemistry, everything is really perfect, only to have the strength to make great strides forward.
"As soon as the rubber arrived, the other leg of the steam engine was completed, and the establishment of the industrial base of Lingnan would soon enter a period of great development. ”
"And sweet potatoes, corn and other high-yielding crops!"
There is a saying in later generations, wheat has made a strong Han and a prosperous Tang Dynasty, rice has achieved a rich Song Dynasty and a strong Ming Dynasty, and sweet potatoes and corn have achieved a super Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty has fed a population of more than 300 million, far exceeding any previous dynasty.
"Boss!" Qin Hu rushed in, "The sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes that Lord Huang brought back from you are called sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, and Lord Su has robbed Yicheng, boss, this thing tastes very good, give me Yicheng too, right? Anyway, as long as you leave a little bit to do seeds." ”
"Su Shi snatched Yicheng?"
Qin Chao's brows furrowed.
"Haha, I said Senior Brother Qin, you don't have to be so stingy. There are so many more anyway. Su Shilang walked in with a smile, "I'll get some back, and it's not all for food, I also have a few plots of land, which happen to be planted." ”
"Brother Su, this thing is now going to be used for breeding and relief to the world. Qin Chao looked at Su Shi speechlessly. Historically, Su Dongpo is a foodie, many famous foods in later generations are derived from this foodie, yesterday Su Shi found some food from Fanbang brought back from the ship, naturally I wanted to taste, I didn't expect this taste, and I was addicted.
"Relief to the world? This thing can help the world?" Su Shi laughed, "I said Senior Brother Qin, don't coax me, something from Fanbang." It's not the first time I, Su Dongpo, have eaten it, the role of these things is just to add some tricks to the people's vegetable baskets, don't make it so righteous and awe-inspiring, as if it is noble. ”
Qin Hu also laughed, and squeezed his eyes at Qin Chao: "It doesn't matter if you help the world, or if you cook, anyway, there is a kind left, boss." Just give me a copy!"
The Qin Dynasty couldn't laugh or cry, it is true that sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes are all dishes that can be cooked. It can also be used as food, but the Qin Dynasty ordered Huang Haiqiao to get these back, because the Great Song Dynasty began to enter an era of frequent disasters and famines.
In real history, various uprisings will soon break out, even including Fangla and Shuibo Liangshan broke out during this period, and it was also because of natural disasters and man-made disasters that Liao attacked the Song Dynasty. Since the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, it can be said that if history does not make major changes, droughts and floods will continue to occur in the entire Great Song Dynasty in the next few years.
If you don't think of a way to solve the problem of rations for the common people in the famine, the Qin Dynasty will be very popular. No matter how well Lingnan is governed, no matter how the coalition government is elected by the people, the people will also complain.
Once Sima Guang, Cheng Yi and others think that God is punishing the Qin Dynasty and others for their great rebellion, and under the punishment of the coalition government for disloyalty and filial piety, all kinds of rumors are spreading, Lingnan will not revolt and explode, and the Qin Dynasty is confident, but there will be no military disasters in other places?
Even if there is no military disaster, but there are dead people, drought and flood disasters make many people unable to survive, these things will eventually be written and recorded in history, which is a huge blow to Qin Xianao's reputation.
"No, Brother Su, you have to hand back the Yicheng you snatched, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qin Chao had a calm face.
Su Shi was suddenly unhappy: "Senior Brother Qin, don't think I don't know, you yourself are also a disaster, Sister Abi changes tricks to make you delicious all day long, who can you hide?" "Haha!" Qin Hu suddenly laughed and glanced at Su Shi, "Master Su, although Sister-in-law Abi is the boss's professional chef, my boss is actually a chef himself, and like you, he is proficient in cooking." ”
"Oh?" Su Shi was happy, "So, Senior Brother Qin asked Huang Haiqiao to get these things back, just for himself to eat, Senior Brother Qin, there is a life, I want Su to hand over those things, don't think about it!"
"Gentlemen love to eat, take it in the right way!" Qin Chao had a calm face, "Brother Su, Xiaohu, do you know what is the biggest advantage of these sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes? It's not that they're delicious, but that they're drought-tolerant, salt-alkaline, have a short growth cycle, are easy to grow, and the unit yield is very high." ”
"I understand drought tolerance, but salt and alkali tolerance?" Su Shi looked at Qin Chao suspiciously, and then smiled, "Don't fool me, there are many people who are drought tolerant." ”
"Yes, there are a lot of drought-tolerant crops in the world, but they can be grown in the brine land. ”
"Can the ground grow?" Su Shi was stunned.
"The land of repulsion is the saline-alkali land. Qin Chao said in a deep voice, "These things are planted in areas with fewer diseases and insects, and the conditions are better, such as corn, and the yield per mu can reach more than 1,000 catties." ”
More than 1,000 pounds?
Su Shi's eyes were round, Qin Hu was also very familiar with crops in Lingnan, and he also glared: "Boss, you didn't lie to us? This rice is already the largest high-yield crop, and it is not about 400 catties per mu, and wheat is even lower, you say that the yield of corn per mu is 1,000 catties?"
"And that's not all, it's like rice, which can be grown multiple times a year. Qin Chao explained in a deep voice, "Rice also needs a lot of water and fertilizer irrigation, but these, you can dig a piece of land in the mountains and plant it, and you don't have to worry about irrigation, what will happen if it is in a year of great drought?"
Su Shi's face became solemn.
"Of course, although corn can have two seasons a year, it is best to plant one season, but sweet potatoes and potatoes can be two or even three seasons, and the most important thing is that the yield of potatoes per mu can reach two or three thousand catties!"
Two or three thousand pounds?
Su Shi took a breath of cool air.
"Potatoes are nothing, do you know what the yield of sweet potatoes per mu is?" Qin Chao laughed, "It's four or five thousand catties!" Qin Dynasty was very emotional, good crop varieties can even save the fate of a country, Ming Wei natural disasters continued, northern farmers couldn't survive at all, followed by Li Zicheng's uprising to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty, many later generations analyzed, if Chongzhen attached importance to the spread of corn and sweet potatoes in the north that had spread to southern China, it would not perish.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was extremely smart, while fighting the world, while promoting sweet potatoes, corn and other crops, and thus the entire Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years.
"Four or five thousand?"
Su Shi and Qin Hu's eyes widened again.
"Senior Brother Qin, four or five thousand catties, you really didn't fool me?" Su Shi looked at Qin Chao's eyes, Qin Chao laughed, and pointed to the booklet next to him, "That's Huang Haiqiao's note, here's ......" Qin Chao grabbed the booklet and flipped through it a few times, and then handed it to Su Shi, "Look at it yourself." ”
"It's incredible, it's all true!" Su Shi looked at Huang Haiqiao's account in the book, his eyes shining. (To be continued.) )
