Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 402 401. Electricity

As for the oil extraction technology of peanuts and corn, there is no need to introduce it in detail here.

The extraction techniques of vegetable oils are generally similar, and the only differences are in minor details.

But when he thought of corn, the smile on Zhang Qi's face became even bigger.

Corn can be said to be the best gift this planet has given to mankind.

It has high variability and can be planted as long as the temperature in the area is not too extreme. There is no need to pick the soil.

When grown, corn can be used in a wide range of applications.

It is used as staple food, raw material for sugar making, raw material for making wine, and green storage material.

There is almost nothing useless in the corn plant itself, and every part of the body can be used.

And most importantly.

Its amount exceeds that of many crops with more demanding growing conditions.

Especially after the use of fertilizers in Liaoning, this point became more obvious.

There are many types of crops in Liao land, but the third most common crops, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, replaced the previous main crop cultivated land in just one and a half years after Liu Perun brought them back.

This is not without reason.

Although the original varieties of corn in this era did not have as plump fruit plants as those of later generations, they only had six rows with no more than ten grains in each row.

But as mentioned before, corn is naturally highly variable. Even in the same farmland, you will sometimes get two different varieties of corn.

The variety mentioned here does not mean that its properties have completely changed, but that two corn seeds taken from the same plant will obtain two different outputs under the influence of different environments.

It's possible that one strain will have more tooth germs, and it's possible that the other strain will have fuller tooth germs.

Even in later generations, many corns with higher yields, sweeter taste and better taste were discovered from certain corn plants on various farms.

It was not until the advent of genetic technology that corn varieties in the world were finally completely monopolized.

In the past seven or eight years, Liaodi's corn has also gradually developed corn varieties with denser and fuller tooth germs through different selective breeding.

Nowadays, one acre of corn field in Liaodi usually has a yield of more than 800 to [-] yuan through fertilization.

And the output of Qingzhu will naturally be more.

Is the eating part the heaviest part of corn?
Of course not, the stems and leaves are the bulk of the entire corn plant.

After these stems and leaves are collected and crushed, combined with soybean meal and some other elements, they become an important part of Liaodi's feed.

The city gates of Liaoning are wide open during rush hour.

The sleigh stopped not far from the city gate.

There were more than a dozen shadow guards waiting there with carriages.

In the city, no more than outside the city, the snow must be dealt with from time to time, otherwise too much snow will cause inconvenience to everyone's life.

In addition to Zhang Qi's sleigh, other public transportation facilities also stopped at the platform outside the city gate.

Workers who got off work got off the car one after another, and walked back to their homes if they were near the city. For those a little further away, there are also special urban transportation facilities in the city.

In terms of public facilities, Liaodi is sufficient.

Under the conditions of having the right to independently mint coins and possessing a large amount of coins and living supplies, such a life position naturally emerged as the times require.

Return to the brightly lit Qiming Palace.

Zhang Qi took off the wind and snow all over his body.

It's warm inside the palace, but the cloak worn outside seems a bit stuffy when you return to the palace.

The huge Qiming Palace has 97 palace attendants, all of whom have been replaced since last month.

Zhang Qi, the old woman who was responsible for the daily life of Qiming Palace, was not happy. He found that this person had instilled many bad signs of palace battles into many palace residents, and also brought some bad thoughts to Zhang Qian intentionally or unintentionally.

For Zhang Qian.

Although Zhang Qi's education method somewhat releases his nature, it does not mean that he does not value his son.

Recognized by the world of riding and slashing, he is naturally the best successor.

Therefore, Zhang Qi did not allow anything bad to get close to him. If he discovered it, the consequences would be needless to say.

And by getting rid of the old woman, he was sending a signal to everyone, intentionally or unintentionally.

Not everyone can touch the prince.

If you dare to reach out, you will die.There was a slight sizzling sound in the brightly lit Qiming Palace.

This is the sound of electricity.

Yes, Zhang Qi's Qiming Palace is the only one among all his palaces that has electric facilities.

The research on electricity was initiated at the same time as the steam engine, and it has gone through a long period of time in the horse-and-blade world.

But outside.

The application of electrical energy is still not perfect.

The building of physics has not yet been built. Although Zhang Qi knew that electricity could be used for communication, how to communicate was not something that a layman like him could figure out just by thinking about it.

Therefore, the current use of electricity is still only for lighting.

After all, he is one of those people who grew up listening to the light bulb story.

Naturally, the understanding of light bulbs is much clearer than that of telecommunications.

The light of the tungsten filament bulb is dim and yellow, not much different from the candlelight of the past.

When he returned to the harem, he saw his son running towards him with two puppies that had reached the little man's waist.

"father!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The three-month-old puppy now has that handsome look.

Coupled with the fact that children are naturally energetic, the hard work of carrying them around every day also keeps the two puppies active enough so that they don’t develop the habit of breaking up the house.

"This is my dad! Don't scream!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"."

"Okay, okay, please stop arguing with them. It's really like they call me daddy again. I can't bear it."

Zhang Qi slapped Zhang Qian's head as he started to quarrel with the two puppies.

Then he picked him up, held him in his arms and walked deep into the harem.

The owner was hugged, and the two puppies followed closely at Zhang Qi's feet, looking up and whimpering.

Bai Xing snickered behind him and followed the dogs, one big and one small, plus the two puppies into the bedroom.

"How did you finish your homework today?"

"It's all done, dad, and mom knows."

After more than two months of getting along, Zhang Qian's feeling of strangeness towards his father was gradually replaced by dependence.

"So good?! Then recite the multiplication tables to me. If you finish memorizing them all, I will take you to Uncle Yao's house tomorrow."

"keep your word!"

"Of course!"

"The hook."

"Just pull it."

The two fingers, one big and one small, were hooked together. The roughness of his father's fingers made the little man's excitement a little less exciting when he heard that he was going to Uncle Harrier's house.

He glanced at his father, and then began to recite the multiplication table formula that he had just learned a few days ago.

"One gets one, one gets two."

"."

"Nine-eight 72, nine-nine 81!"

With one hand on his father's shoulder, the little man recited the entire multiplication table in one breath.

Zhang Qi looked at him with some relief.

He nodded and said with a smile on his face: "I'll take you to play tomorrow."

"Haha, thank you dad!"
