Destiny Only Han

Chapter 799 Liu Ying: The little boy is hateful, and the old boy who eats soft food is even more hateful!

To the south of the Wei River, far away from the crowded city of Chang'an, is a vibrant farmland.

In May, wheat enters the harvesting period. The criss-crossing wheat ridges seem to be lines of poems written on the vast land. Large areas of wheat are growing gratifyingly. Full of heady golden color.

However, many wheat fields are surrounded by fences, and there are still people living in huts under the trees beside the fields. Judging from the faint barking of dogs, the warning signs with the words "vicious dog" hanging around the wheat fields are not just talking... …

Here, it was originally the experimental field of Dahan College of Agriculture, but now the Dahan College of Agriculture is full of stars. The Dahan College of Agriculture has officially changed its name to the Royal Agricultural University.

Although the school site has not changed, the school funding and enrollment scale will be raised to a higher level.

This point can be proved by the horse-drawn carriages constantly transporting building materials such as cement bricks on the cement road next to the wheat field.

"The wheat field is really healed..." Liu Ying opened her arms and looked at the wind blowing wheat waves in the distance with emotion on her face, completely ignoring the strange eyes of the agricultural students pulling weeds in the field under the sun.

Today, he went on tour in micro-clothes, wearing the Liu's Crown that is popular among big men today, wearing a black curly train and a red gauze dress, just like a foreign tourist.

In fact, the experimental field on the side of Dahan Public School is also a must-see attraction for scholars, merchants and travelers who come to Chang'an...

Because the people farming here are not old farmers, but students of the Dahan Public School who are called disciples of the Son of Heaven...

Well, mostly sarcasm.

After all, the proportion of the agricultural population was very high at this time, and the teenagers who failed to get into the Dahan Public School were farming in their hometowns, but finally fought their way through thousands of troops and were admitted to the Dahan Public School, but they still had to work in the fields... …

Therefore, Dahan College of Agriculture has repeatedly won the title of the least friendly college...

But despite this, the number of people applying for the College of Agriculture each year is far more than that of many disciplines. The diploma of the College of Agriculture is also known as the academic certificate with the highest gold content.

The country is based on agriculture.

Anyone who can pass the exam and successfully obtain a graduation certificate will go ashore directly and be appointed as Tian Dian, who is responsible for teaching the people in the village how to farm scientifically.

The Imperial Higher Agriculture and Animal Husbandry University, which is also known as the double wall with the Agricultural College, aims to train various high-level technical personnel such as animal husbandry and veterinary medicine for the empire.

After all, among the subordinate officials at the township level, there is a small official called "Niuchang", who is mainly responsible for lending the public farm cattle and horses to the poor in the village during the farming season and supervising the work of the poor in the village, and then responsible for feeding and breeding livestock during the slack period.

So on the other side of the experimental field, surrounded by a low wall, there are many cattle, sheep and horses grazing leisurely, which is the second check-in point for outsiders after they come to Guanzhong...

Well, there are actually some mule and horse traders.

Another purpose of Liu Ying strolling here today is to watch an auction here.

Pegasus Auction.

It is said to be a Pegasus, but it is actually just a gimmick. It originated from a bottom-of-the-box lot in the first year, which was a hard-earned BMW and a stallion smuggled by businessmen from the Western Regions.

Since then, the name of the auction has followed the name of Tianma.

So behind Liu Ying, Zhang Buji watched an artist finish the draft of "Liu Ying in the Farmland", and said impatiently: "Okay, if you don't go to the good stuff, it will be sold out..."

The last time the army made an expedition to southern Liaoning, he selected nearly a hundred good-quality fruit horses from Jizhun's royal stables, but if he wanted to maintain a large and productive horse farm, he would definitely need other stallions of good bloodlines.

Now, through the policy of canonizing Aya as the Queen of the Huns, Liu Ying has solved the problem of the continuous invasion of the Huns going south to a certain extent. As a result, the huge northern grassland has suddenly become the back garden of the dignitaries of the Han Dynasty.

For example, Zhang Buyi signed an agreement with a small tribe of the Huns after he got hundreds of high-quality fruit horses. Zhang Buyi was responsible for providing food, cloth and other daily necessities to the Huns herdsmen, and then hired the Huns to allocate them to them. On his pasture, Zhang Buyi took care of cattle, sheep and horses.

In this way, the Huns can enjoy a better life, and Zhang Buyi can get a group of professional animal husbandry talents for him to use, and then get more wealth.

This is the real win-win situation.

And there are hundreds of Han dignitaries who signed a covenant with the Huns like Zhang Buyi. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the in-depth cooperation between the Han nobles and ordinary Huns herdsmen that made the northern frontier of the empire There is no more smoke.

After all, the purpose of the Xiongnu herdsmen following the leader to plunder southward was to survive and to obtain a better life.

Now the Xiongnu is only the daughter-in-law of the Han people. Only with the support of the Han country can they secure the throne, and the Huns no longer need to fight with the Han people to get their ideal life.

So, why any more war?

Therefore, the sword must be cast into the plow.

Liu Ying lowered her arms, put away her hugging posture, looked back at the two rough-skinned men with plateau red cheeks beside Zhang Buyi, then looked at Zhang Buyi with a smile and said, "You go first, I have to meet someone..."

"Mystery..." Zhang Buyi muttered in a low voice, then turned around and left.

Behind him, the two men with the hairstyle of the Huns but dressed in Han robes froze for a moment, and hurriedly followed.

They are the experts that Zhang Buyi hired for this auction.

Well, in fact, it was the patriarch of the small Hun tribe that signed the contract with him.

The Huns, like the later Mongols, were not very good at breeding high-quality horse breeds. They usually released them in the wild and let them go. Go back to the wild for another...

But as a nation on horseback, their ability to watch horses is second to none in the world.

Therefore, even though Zhang Buyi still needed an interpreter when communicating with them, he still invited them all the way here.

Liu Ying stood where she was, watching Zhang Buyi and the others leave, with somewhat complicated emotions appearing on her face.

The person he came to see today is called Shen Shiqi, who was entrusted by Liu Bang to take care of Liu Taigong and Lu Zhi when he conquered Qin in the west.

Well, many boring people made up the Marquis of Piyang as Lv Pheasant's lover.

It's just that he made a slant and led the whole family to play a battle royale. He left Pei County before Xiang Yu became the overlord of Western Chu, and defected to Liu Bang in Guanzhong.

Therefore, the title of Marquis of Piyang who tried to eat him is gone...

But Shen Shiqi was Liu Bang's disciple after all, and it was also a friendship with his wife and son back then, so Liu Bang would naturally think about arranging a better place for him to support him.

For example, the proctor of the Royal Agricultural University offered wine...

Well, the school supervisor still continues the previous title. As for the sacrificial wine, it is Liu Ying's magic change, such as Guozijian Jijiu.

It’s just that Guozijian’s sacrificial wine is compared to the principal, and these days pay attention to the heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers. Besides, after the split, the Dahan Public School, except for the two universities of Pengci University and Huahua University, the rest are listed as royal and imperial. , the word sacrificial wine naturally no longer refers to the principal...

Liu Ying considered that her father was too showy, so she didn't bother to compete with him. Liu Bang was still the principal of each university, and she was only the vice-principal, so she was showing some filial piety...

However, with Liu Bang's personality, at most he would attend the opening ceremony of the campus sports meeting, the foundation stone laying ceremony of the teaching building, the welcome meeting and the graduation ceremony. As for the specific school management work, the school supervisor Jijiu, such as Shen Shiqi, was fully responsible.

At the edge of the experiment field, Liu Ying chatted awkwardly with those bored students, not caring that the other party had rolled their eyes in the sky.

Well, he deliberately imitated Liu Bang's accent, so that the other party really thought he was a tourist from other places...

On the road in the distance, Shen Shiqi came over with his big sleeves fluttering. He greeted every student he passed with a smile, and at the same time, he also received greetings from the other party, until he saw standing on the ridge of the field. Above, Liu Ying was harassing a group of students doing field experiments.

"Your Majesty..." Shen Shiqi hurried forward, just about to bow to salute, but seeing Liu Ying's warning eyes, he changed into a peaceful expression: "These students are graduating soon, this young master should not disturb you." Theirs is good... If you want to visit, you can go with this sacrificial wine."

"That's great." Liu Ying nodded and followed with her hands behind her back.

Behind him, a group of young students breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other.

"It's so annoying!"

"That's right, I don't know where the farmer came from..."

"I knew that we would also use a wall to surround this place, and it would be better to put two barbed wires on it!"

"Stupid, they won't come, who will we sell our ice porridge and wontons to? If you don't make money, what can you do to associate with the nurses of the Royal School of Hygiene?"

..............................

After getting away from the crowd, Shen Shiqi immediately slowed down, from being in front of Liu Ying to being one step behind him.

Liu Ying smiled silently, looked around and asked: "The wheat grown here is Shengzu No. [-]?"

Shen Shiqi replied softly:
"Return to Your Majesty, that's right."

"Shengzu No. [-] is bred on the basis of Shengzu No. [-]. Compared with the previous varieties, it is shorter and more resistant to lodging, and has a stronger ability to absorb nutrients. Therefore, each ear of wheat on Shengzu No. [-] must About ten grains more than Shengzu No. [-]..."

Liu Ying nodded in satisfaction, but before he could speak, a genuine Peisi accent sounded in his ear.

"You didn't try on the auspicious clothes your mother bought for you in the palace, why did you wander around here?"

Shen Shiqi hurriedly turned around, bowed and saluted: "Meet the Supreme Emperor."

Well, Liu Ying actually used the pretext of coming out to inspect the splitting of Dahan Public School today, so as to avoid Lu Zhi's thoughts...

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and naturally it cannot be without a queen for a day.

Liu Yingsheng has been in the imperial court for many years. Although she opened a harem and gave birth to several sons, she never had a wife, that is, a queen.

Now that he and Lu Yu are about to get married, Lu Zhi ordered more than 100 sets of auspicious clothes for him in one go. In addition, he needs to match Lu Yu's auspicious clothes, so he has to try on several sets of auspicious clothes in different styles every day. , not to mention layer upon layer, and more than ten catties of jade ornaments...

The key is that Lu Zhi suffered from the difficulty of choosing...

So, don't blame me for running away... Liu Ying turned her head and frowned at the mysterious Liu Bang: "Why are you here too?"

"Naigong is here to take you back!" Liu Bang clasped his arms confidently, but lamented in his heart that he still didn't keep it when he was old, became a slave to money, and fell to the point where he ate women.

"I don't!" Liu Ying also crossed her arms: "Father, tell my mother that I will not return to Changle Palace in the next two months! Anyway, there are many palaces near Chang'an, and I can live anywhere!"

Liu Bang shook his head with a smile: "When I came, she had already compromised, no longer forcing you to try on the auspicious clothes, and then use the one she made first..."

"Really?" Liu Ying was skeptical: "Father, you read to me, big Han people don't lie to big Han people..."

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, pretending he didn't hear anything, he just looked at Shen Shiqi and asked, "What is the No. [-] and No. [-] Shengzu you mentioned earlier?"

Look, I knew... Liu Ying puffed her cheeks invisibly.

Shen Shiqi cupped his hands and said:
"Back to the Supreme Emperor, the so-called Shengzu No. [-] and Shengzu No. [-] refer to the wheat varieties in this experimental field..."

"Please look, my lord, with this road as the boundary, the north is Shengzu No. [-], the south is Shengzu No. [-], and corresponding to it is the control group separated by the road on the other side..."

Seeing Liu Bang getting more and more confused, Liu Ying snorted and said arrogantly:

"These are a new variety of wheat that I bred when I was in Hanzhong in the early years. It was first called the Houji series, but there were no conditions at that time, which led to the degeneration of the strain... But anyway, in the first few years, the yield per mu was still the same. It is one or two buckets higher than those old varieties from the former Qin Dynasty!"

"One mu of land is one or two more, and ten mu of land is one or two more stones..." Liu Bang counted with his fingers, beaming: "Not bad, not bad!"

"What is this?" Liu Ying raised her head and said, "In fact, the extra one or two buckets are mainly due to compost and the reason that the new varieties grow shorter... After all, the nutrients in the ground are limited. When the wheat grows taller, the nutrients will be reduced." It was wasted on the straw... But unfortunately, the soil is still not fertile, and the final result is that the number of wheat grains is less than expected, and they are not full!"

"At that time, my father mocked me in various ways, saying that the new variety I made was a silver-like pewter gun head, which was not useful for its appearance, and it was a fart to have too many grains, and the flour produced was less than the old variety before. use?"

"But there is no way, the fertilizer can't keep up... So the Houji series disappeared from everyone later, and the yield per mu is almost the same as those of the old varieties..."

Well, the so-called Houji series is actually the lodging-resistant dwarf wheat he signed. Unfortunately, there was no chemical fertilizer at that time, and the barren land could not afford the consumption of such high-yielding plants.

To give a chestnut, after the end of World War II, the Japanese ate better than before, and the average height soared from 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters to 1.7 meters...

"Oh, let's have a carnival." Liu Bang's face was full of resentment.

"That's why there was the later Shengzu No. [-]!" Liu Ying became arrogant again, and continued:

"Let's conquer Guanzhong. After I opened the Dahan Public School, I restarted the breeding program, changed the original Houji No. [-] to Taigong No. [-], and asked Dafu to spread hero posts, that is, to recruit the old guys from his farm. , Cultivate new varieties together!"

"Then it took almost ten years. On the fertile soil of Guanzhong, coupled with the unlimited supply of compost, Taigong No. [-] has regained its high-yield appearance..."

"Well, as for Shengzu No. [-] and Shengzu No. [-], the name was changed after the father passed away."

"But the problem is that one mu of land in the test field often uses one or two thousand catties of fertilizer, which is completely unavailable to ordinary farmers! After all, the compost is farm manure, and there are too few nutrients..."

"That's the reason." Liu Bang nodded: "I've also heard people say that Chang'an City has had a lot of people who come to dig out huts in recent years. The more women give more money, the richer people also give more money, just to get some good fertilizer..."

Liu Ying also echoed and said:

"The land in Guanzhong is densely populated, and the farmyard manure is still not enough. If it is changed to other places in the Kanto region, the fertilizer will be even more insufficient."

"After all, our land has been cultivated on a large scale since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. The fertility of the soil is very low. But in the past, people planted in spring and harvested in autumn, and the land can be rested for half a year."

"However, we now generally have two crops a year, and the land has no time to rest!"

"Although the three-field system has been implemented in many places, that is, one field is sown in spring, one field is sown in autumn, and one field is fallow, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem of barren land."

"So dad, look, whether it is Shengzu No. [-] or Shengzu No. [-], not only are there more seeds, but the density of the plants is much higher than other places..."

Liu Bang walked over to look at it very seriously, and nodded vigorously.

Although he didn't do much farm work when he was young, he became much more stable after marrying Lu Zhi. When he was the pavilion chief of Surabaya, he often asked for leave to go home to take care of the farmland, so he knew it all at first glance.

So Liu Bang frowned slightly and asked: "Doesn't that mean that this high-yielding variety cannot be promoted?"

"It was originally like this." Liu Ying continued with a smile: "So there is Shengzu No. [-], which is an improved variety based on Shengzu No. [-]. It is more tolerant to fertilizers and absorbs more efficiently. It is also higher, although the use of farmyard manure can no longer satisfy its appetite, but I made a new kind of fertilizer, which is enough to make the yield of Shengzu No. [-] reach more than four stones per mu!"

Liu Bang froze for a moment, his eyes slowly opened wide.

Nowadays, the output of one mu of land is generally two to two and a half stones, and this is the result of good weather.

Therefore, more than four stones will undoubtedly directly double the output!

"You're talking big again!" Liu Bang still questioned in accordance with the previous practice.

Liu Ying curled her lips: "I'll let dad see and see later, but don't cover your nose when the time comes!"

Liu Bang snorted, his face full of conceit: "Naigong Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face did not change. Isn't it just smelly, what is Naigong afraid of?"

..............................

"vomit……"

Liu Bang covered his mouth, and looked back at Liu Ying who was wearing a tight mask, full of annoyance.

A bastard is really not a thing. If Nai Gong said he wouldn't wear it, would you really not give it?

Let your mother beat you when you go back!
In the room, Liu Ying's big eyes inherited from Lu Zhi could hardly be opened, but he and Liu Bang got into a fight, and if Liu Bang didn't come out, he wouldn't come out either!

Well, what is in front of them at the moment is ammonia water.

To be precise, it is earth ammonia water.

After all, his current chemical industry has just started, so he can only use this soil method to prepare chemical fertilizers.

But there is no doubt that this relatively primitive chemical fertilizer is more suitable for his high-yield crops with degraded species. Anyway, even real chemical fertilizers also need to be diluted before use.

Liu Ying once heard people say that this kind of primitive chemical fertilizer was used in many rural areas before the reform.

Therefore, whenever the crops need to be topdressed, the soil fertilizer factory in the county starts operation, so that the whole county is filled with the smell of soil ammonia in those days...

"It can't be done..." Liu Bang left the room holding his nose, and immediately took a deep breath.

"Hehe." Liu Ying followed closely, but her eyes were so smoked that she couldn't open her eyes, otherwise she must let the old guy feel what contempt is.

After the two of them, a few students who knew nothing about their identities walked into the room, carried a vat of ammonia water and walked out, looking like they had long been accustomed to it.

Liu Bang and Liu Ying smiled at each other, shook their heads and said, "This taste is too strong..."

Liu Ying echoed with a smile: "There is a common saying in the folks, it is called a flower in a crop, and the front is dominated by dung... So the smell is good, and the grain output is high."

Liu Bang looked at Shen Shiqi who was always by their side: "When will this stinky fertilizer and that high-yielding wheat be promoted?"

Shen Shiqi looked at Liu Ying and saw that Liu Ying was silent, so he replied: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, the formula of ammonia water has already been copied to the hands of Tian Dian everywhere, just add more water, dilute it and use it. As for Shengzu No. [-] wheat, it can be promoted in Guanzhong this year."

Liu Bang nodded: "That's good, that's right. So, farmers all over the world will use this high-yield variety soon?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "I'm afraid not."

Liu Bang asked: "Why?"

Liu Ying waved her hand to stop Shen Shiqi, and explained by herself: "Because this high-yielding seed has invested countless people's efforts and a lot of money, it will not be provided to farmers for free like corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes."

"Whoever wants to plant our seeds needs to pay a fee and sign an agreement at the same time, that is, he can keep the seeds in his own field and plant them at will, but he cannot lend them to his neighbors, especially he cannot sell them to foreign envoys, so that outsiders can use them for nothing. take it!"

"Otherwise, we will pay twenty times the actual loss!"

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, his brows were furrowed:

"Is it in your eyes? You should know that the country is based on agriculture. This kind of good thing that benefits the people of the world actually requires people to spend money to buy it? What's the matter, isn't it that the Agricultural University has the title of the royal family, and all expenses come from yours?" Spilling out of private money..."

Creampie?How can there be a creampie... Liu Ying slightly raised the corner of her mouth, smiled and shook her head: "That's not the reason..."
