Chapter 191 The Catastrophe of Shanglin Court
I'm going to Shanglinyuan. I heard that there are all the exotic flowers and herbs that the Tang people can collect.

Therefore, Yunchu planned to go to Shanglin Garden early in the morning, and stay there for a whole day, going in from the moment the door opened, and coming out before closing the door.

Because time is limited, those who go there must be elite soldiers and strong generals.

Di Renjie was elected unanimously, and Cui believed that he had done a lot of business related to flowers and trees over the years, so he must be selected.

Yu Xiurong heard that there is a kind of orchid called "Acacia" in Shanglin Garden. She has long been in love with this orchid, so she must go.

Gongsun felt that she couldn't do without her to go to the Royal Garden, so she went too.

Liu Yi has served the Yun Family for many years, and taking him to Shanglin Garden this time is considered a reward.

As for the real experts, that is, farmers, because they are the heads of Guizhou, they think it is unlucky and they are not allowed to enter.

The Shanglin Garden in the Tang Dynasty is just beside the Qujiang Pond. Because it is not comparable to Liu Che’s Shanglin Garden, which is hundreds of miles away, I don’t know whether it is Li Yuan or Li Er who named the Shanglin Garden "Yichun Garden". A name with a slight brothel atmosphere.

The Shanglin Garden in Datang, also known as Yichun Garden, covers an area of ​​more than a thousand acres, but Yunchu still feels a bit petty standing in front of the gate.

The gatekeeper was the Jinwu Guard, who looked like he was not doing well. The armor on his body obviously didn't fit, as if it was stolen or borrowed.

The Tang knife on his waist seemed to be rusted in the scabbard, and Yun Chu slapped him twice, but he hadn't pulled out the knife yet.

What's the problem, a waist card, only one person is allowed to enter, what is the reason for this, you know that Lin Ziping is leading thirty or forty people to feast on Jinchangfang.

The mouth is pumped enough, and if you give a little more money, the Jinwu guards with inappropriate clothes will allow Yunchu and his party to enter.

In fact, Yunchu felt a little regretful that he slapped him, which caused his hands to be stained with some snot, and he washed his sticky hands several times before he felt better.

If I had known earlier that I would be able to get through with money, as for letting Lin Ziping take such a big advantage of me.

"The purpose of our trip is seeds. As long as you find useful seeds, you can dig them home. We only ask for more, not for good. I hope that you will work harder, and it is best to get all the seeds in Shanglin Garden. Get home one, or a few."

Yun Chu was at the front of the team and announced a simple mobilization, and everyone rushed into the royal garden screaming.

In August, it was a good time for all autumn crops to mature. Yunchu took a few steps and saw long soybean pods. The soybean pods here are very different from those seen outside. Here There are basically three beans in the yellow bean pods. Not only are the pods more knotty, but there is also an extra bean on each pod. Needless to say, this is a good thing.

The soybean pods are already withered and yellow, which is a sign of maturity. If they are not picked, these beans will fall to the ground. Therefore, Yunchu got into the soybean field and began to frantically pick the dry pods.

Di Renjie was standing in a late-ripening wheat field. The wheat here was different from the wheat in other places in Chang'an. It matured nearly three months later, and every ear of wheat was covered with mature ears of wheat. He just looked at the ripe ears of wheat , Di Renjie discovered that this should be a good wheat seed.

After picking one hundred and eighty finger-long wheat ears, Di Renjie discovered that the words "highland barley" were written on the ground.

No wonder the wheat ears here were not very similar to the ones he usually saw, so he threw away those hard-collected highland barley wheat ears and looked for the target again.

After getting half a basket of pods, Yunchu got up and went to the millet field. These millets were obviously planted after harvesting a crop of wheat.

Thinking of the millet porridge sticking to his teeth, Yunchu used a knife to cut off those ears of grain that were half long.

Mature ears of grain are very humble, always with their heads down. Yunchu fights from one end of the field to the other end of the field, and he doesn't let go of any of the ears of grain he likes.

Yu Xiurong went to a place full of flowers early, Gongsun climbed a fruit tree early, rode on the branch, did not pick the pears, but gnawed at the pears growing on the tree, leaving only the pear pits in the end, and then turned to the battle battlefield.

Liu Yiguang knew that Grandpa Tian, ​​Grandpa Tian was yelling indiscriminately and running around. He wanted everything, but in the end he couldn't bear to do anything.

The rice in the rice field has also matured. Although Cui didn't understand why the rice matured so late, she subconsciously told her that it was definitely a good thing, so she took off her shoes and socks, got into the rice field, and specially washed the rice. Start with the fattest and plump ears of rice.

As for Naha, she went after the butterflies with her basket in hand.

When Yun Chu got out of the millet field, he saw a field of snow-white cotton. He was very familiar with this thing. When he was young, he picked cotton a lot. Picking cotton even became an instinct in his life. , You can pick cotton even with your eyes closed, and you will not be hurt by the sharp thorns after the bolls dry.

This thing was Yunchu's childhood nightmare.

Obviously, there was not a single tree left in the first day. When I finally woke up and looked at the world, it was still a vast expanse of whiteness. The cotton bolls that had not bloomed last night had bloomed again.

Yunchu found that some cotton had been in full bloom for a long time, and a lot of cotton had not been picked in time, and had turned yellow after being wet by dew and rain.

It happened that Di Renjie was passing by, seeing that Yunchu seemed to want to kill all the cotton in the few acres of land here, so he jumped off the field to help Yunchu pick it.

"It seems that you have already decided what to plant in Wannian County. Are you sure you want this thing?"

"That's right, growing cotton should be five times more profitable than growing grain."

"You grow crops that you can sell for money, you don't want to grow food.

Have you ever thought about the famous food strategies during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods? "

Yunchu stood up and threw a handful of cotton with cottonseeds into the basket, "You're talking about Guan Zhong's strategy of buying deer and controlling Chu?
Or was it planned by Guan Zhong to surrender to Luliang with silk?

Or Guan Zhong's buying fox fur to descend to Daiguo?

Or is it Goujian's fake method of destroying Wu? "

Di Renjie said: "All of them. I'm not worried about your Wannian County growing this kind of thing that can be sold for money instead of growing food. What I'm worried about is that when people find out that you grow cotton and make a fortune, everyone will want to give up food for reform. grow cotton.

At that time, there will be insufficient food and a bumper cotton harvest. How should you deal with it? "

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said: "At that time, I will exchange grain for cotton. Since they have nothing to eat, they can only obediently exchange a lot of cotton for the little grain in my hand."

Di Renjie stood up and said, "They are your comrades, not your enemies. You shouldn't deal with them like this."

Yun Chu laughed and said: "If you don't eat a meal, you won't grow wise. Those stupid people will grow their memory after a few meals. They will adjust the ratio of cotton fields to grain fields. Just like now, people are more concerned about mulberry fields and grain fields." The proportion of grain land is very well handled, and the same is true for cotton land."

Di Renjie said sadly: "This is the idea that a dead fellow Taoist will not die a poor one."

While grabbing the cotton casually, Yun Chu said, "No one will remember the experience and lessons of blood summed up by our ancestors.

Such an obvious example, they all should not see it, what can I do, even if they are hungry in the future, they will ask for it.

And I, from the moment the cotton is sown, will search for enough food, at least enough food for 47 people in Wannian County for a year before vigorously planting cotton.

Of course, I don't plant all the fields with cotton, I just rotate them.

The reason why cotton is grown is because the land in Wannian County has been reclaimed for thousands of years, its fertility has declined, and there is more or less salt in the land. Although cotton is not the most salt-resistant crop, it is also A crop that can effectively absorb the salinity of the soil.

When we plant cotton in Wannian County for a few years, let the cotton absorb the salinity and alkalinity in the land almost, and then we will go back to growing food.

At that time, I thought, there must be a lot of people who grow cotton. We don't grow it, and we just buy cotton from them at a reserve price. "

Seeing that Yunchu had made up his mind, Di Renjie called Liu Yi, who was kneeling on the ground and worshiping every royal plant, over to pick cotton together.

The cotton picked by the three big men spread all over the ground in a short time, and the wet cotton dried up quickly under the scorching sun. After that, Naha happily jumped into the pile of things that looked like white clouds... roll over.

When eating at noon, Yunchu's eyes still fell on the cotton field. He planned to come back tomorrow and continue to pick all the cotton.

Yu Xiurong found the Orchid of the Empty Valley as she wished, and Gongsun also tasted every kind of fruit in the royal garden with his mouth, especially a kind of fruit called Pingpoguo, which was her favorite, so she gave it on the spot. I just dug four or five saplings of pinpo fruit that haven't grown up yet.

Yunchu thought that this woman had found an apple, but after looking at the pinpo fruit brought by Gongsun, after taking a bite, she realized that it had nothing to do with apples, it was more like Nai Li, slightly bitter and lacking in sweetness.

Mrs. Cui came back with a big basket on her back. When Yunchu saw the rice in her basket, he took one off, peeled it off and looked at it, and then threw it into his mouth. The rice grains were green and sticky. This should be a kind of Glutinous rice may not have a high yield, but it should be a very delicious rice.

The Yun family's paddy field on the edge of the Qu River should be able to grow this kind of rice.

Just when a group of people were eating all kinds of delicacies from Jinchangfang in the Royal Shanglin Garden, they were about to take a rest before carrying out a larger-scale looting.

Yun Chu saw Emperor Li Zhi get off the carriage, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Wu Mei's strange smiling face that seemed enthusiastic but actually rejected people thousands of miles away.
