Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

198 Chapter 196, Artifact

Commander's Mansion.

Zhang Qi, who received the news of Liu Polun's return, has been restless since yesterday.

Although he knew in the letter that the mission of Liu Polun and others had been successfully completed this time, he still didn't dare to let go of his heart until he saw the real thing.

That's corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes!
An artifact that can solve the red line of 6000 million people.

Although potatoes are somewhat troublesome and need to be detoxified, it is not impossible.

What are the scholars in the riding and hacking world doing? It is to study various technologies that are advanced for this era.

Moreover, it is also beneficial to plant potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes first in the world of riding and cutting. Through the difference in flow rate, these crops can be selected and bred in them, so that the output can be guaranteed when they are planted outside.

Moreover, this is all three brought back at once.

These three crops, corn at the foot of the mountain, sweet potato at the side of the mountain, and potato at the top of the mountain, turned the barren hills into fertile fields and saved arable land for future invasions of mountainous areas in Han.

Among the three crops, Zhang Qi valued corn the most.

Unlike wheat that relies on hybridization, rice that relies on variation, and corn that relies on hybridization plus variation.

As corn that can be cross-pollinated, its cultivation is inherently more difficult than rice and wheat, which can only be self-pollinated.

Moreover, corn, it is really easy to mutate and hybridize.

To put it simply, you plant a handful of corn seeds in the ground and don't care about it, it can surprise you by itself.

This is also an important reason why corn can rule North America, then study abroad in South America, and finally return to North America until it spreads all over the world.

What can corn do?
feed people.

Feed the cattle.

Feed the microbes.

Oh yes, in the era before Zhang Qi, people in the beautiful country still fed corn to cars.

Corn is omnipotent for staple food, sugar refining, wine making, fuel extraction, and green storage.

Of course, these potatoes and sweet potatoes can also do it, but compared with potatoes that need to be detoxified and consume a lot of fertility, the advantages of corn are obvious.

Compared with sweet potatoes that also require a lot of fertility and eat too much stomach discomfort, the advantages of corn are obvious again.

It's no wonder that Zhang Qi is restless, how can you make him feel at ease before he holds such an artifact.

Fortunately, Wuhuan's latest Biography of Feige has stated that Liu Polun is already on his way to Jiaoli, otherwise he will return to Wuhuan himself.

"not yet?"

Zhang Qi paced back and forth in front of the Captain's Mansion with his hands behind his back, while Bai Xing followed him, holding a paper umbrella and walking back and forth.

I don't know how long it took.

A message came from the door: "Report! There is a person who claims to be a general's servant and asked to see him. He said his name is Liu Polun."

Zhang Qi narrowed his eyes and replied loudly: "Let him in! Quick!"

"promise!"

It was also the first time for the soldiers in Tongchuan to see Zhang Qi so excited, and he was slightly absent-minded, but fortunately he recovered in time, otherwise Zhang Qi's foot would have kicked him.

Not long after, Zhang Qi saw a group of people walking in with big bags on their shoulders, and the leader was Liu Polun!
"Purren!"

"Owner!"

"Thank you! Those who have been wandering this year have lost weight."

Zhang Qi patted Liu Polun on the shoulder, his tone full of love.

Liu Polun was very moved, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The atmosphere is good.

But was interrupted by Shirahoshi.

"Your Majesty, the sun outside is too poisonous, you should catch up with General Liu at home."

Is Bai Xing ignorant?

No.

She is too sensible, knowing that her lord is most concerned about the items brought back, but Zhang Qi can't directly get into the topic, which will hurt his reputation of benevolence.

"Yes, yes, look at me. I haven't seen you for a long time. I lost my composure for a while. Go to Perun and follow me to the main hall of the Captain's Mansion."

Holding Liu Polun's hand, Zhang Qi led the crowd carrying large and small bags into the main hall.

Once there, Liu Polun directed the anti-pack soldiers to put their things away.

After the soldiers left, he took out two books from his pocket.

hand over.

"Master, one of these two books is the distribution of sea creatures I recorded along the way, and the other is the planting method of these crops brought back this time. In addition, the sea chart is also recorded on it."

Zhang Qi reached out to take it, and flipped through it. Liu Polun's painters are very authentic. The fish, birds and animals on the sea objects map all have their own shapes, and many of them Zhang Qi can call out their names directly.

Blue whales, killer whales, dolphins, sea turtles, shipworms, giant clams.
"Hey, the records are very detailed."

Zhang Qi sighed, and then opened the crop planting book, nodding as he read it. The records on it were very detailed and usable.

After briefly reading the two books, Zhang Qi once again thanked Liu Polun for his hard work, this time he said it very sincerely.

Liu Polun nodded with a sob, saluted, wiped the corners of his eyes, and quickly introduced to Zhang Qi what he brought back this time.

"Such a transparent crystal?! It seems that we need to find some craftsmen, and we have a telescope."

Zhang Qi was shocked by the authenticity of a few crystal clear crystals, no wonder there was a saying in the previous life that the more glass-like things are, the more valuable they are.

It's not that he hasn't made glass in the world of riding and hacking. He can do it, but only a little bit. He also had the idea of ​​using glass to make telescopes before, but no matter how they burn the glass, they have variegated colors. Can be a glass envoy.

Some time ago, the glass technology had matured, and he also ordered the construction in Wuhuan, but the variegated glass produced by this glass workshop was not used to make telescopes, but was used to make greenhouses and sell them in Chang'an.

Seeing that Zhang Qi liked these colorless crystals very much, Liu Polun also had a smile on his face, and immediately continued to introduce.

Zhang Qi knew more about corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes than Liu Polun. The moment Zhang Qi got the three animal skin bags in his hands, Zhang Qi disappeared in place.

These are now better preserved in Mount & Blade worlds.

After instructing the scholars in the riding and hacking world to conduct planting research, he returned to the Captain's Mansion.

At this moment in the captain's mansion, Bai Xing and Liu Polun knelt on the ground, chanting the prayers of the gods.

Seeing Zhang Qi's appearance, he ended his prayer.

"Owner."

"Your Majesty."

The two got up and saluted, Zhang Qi nodded and smiled and said, "There are so many more, let's talk about them."

Liu Polun snorted, and then continued to introduce.

"This is rubber!!"

Zhang Qi already had some guesses when he heard Liu Polun say that the tree would ooze white liquid when cut open, and then when he took out a raincoat, Zhang Qi was even more certain that it was rubber.

Unexpected joy.

Zhang Qi doesn't know much about rubber, but he also knows that rubber products, tires, water pipes, gaskets and other important tools need to use these things.

Although there is no rubber, it can be replaced by other things, but it will be more convenient if you have it.

The only problem is, even in the warm period, whether it can be planted in the northeast.

If not, it can only be planted in the world of riding and cutting first.
