Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 110 Daming Mendel

The morning sun is brighter than that.

Su Jing stretched her waist and just came out of the bedroom.

"Master Su."

"Master Su."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Huan had already dressed neatly and greeted Su Jing.

"Hello."

Su Jing nodded, looking at the two who were already studying in the morning, she just felt a little ashamed as a teacher.

Forget about Zhu Biao, a 15-year-old with good tutoring and self-discipline can understand.

But what happened to Zhu Wei?

Aren't you only nine years old, you can get out of bed so early?
Is it too self-disciplined?

It can only be said that Su Jing still doesn't know how strict the education of royal children is.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always attached great importance to the training of his sons.

Zhu Wei's current performance, on the one hand, is that he is indeed precocious, and on the other hand, he is inseparable from the education he received in Dahontang.

Now that Su Jing is up, breakfast is ready to eat.

After the three of them had breakfast, Su Jing came to Zhu Wei who was sorting out his notes and said:
"Niu Su, I talked so much yesterday, what impressed you the most, or what do you most want to know?"

Botany has a lot of content, and Su Jing is not a professional teacher, so he can only let Zhu Wei mention what he is interested in, and then explain it.

Zhu Wei closed his eyes and thought for a while, then replied: "Master Su, the students want to know what is heredity."

Inherited!

Su Jing's expression changed slightly when he heard Zhu Wei's answer.

Good guy, this whole problem is a bit difficult!

Straight from the genetics?

But this is a bit too esoteric, not to mention Zhu Xi, Su Jing himself doesn't understand it very well.

However, it is not impossible to talk about it.

Just thinking about it briefly, Su Jing had an idea in his heart.

"Okay, then I will talk to you about heredity today."

Su Jing sat opposite Zhu Wei, and said directly: "The so-called heredity, as the name suggests, means that the offspring inherits characteristics from the mother. This phenomenon is called heredity, or inheritance."

"A dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. The son of a mouse can make a hole. This popular proverb illustrates it."

Su Jing also can't remember the definition of the standard, anyway, I will explain it according to my own understanding.

"So, what's the use of genetics?"

Zhu Wei continued to ask.

The reason why he is so interested in heredity is precisely because Su Jing mentioned heredity many times in his eloquent lecture yesterday.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Wei and smiled, "Niu Su, do you think the wheat and rice we plant now are the same as those in the Western Han Dynasty?"

"That's naturally different. The yield of wheat and rice per mu in Daming is much higher than that in the Western Han Dynasty."

Zhu Wei replied: "Of course there are changes in planting methods, but changes in the varieties of wheat and rice are also very important reasons."

"very good!"

Su Jing couldn't help but praise.

The surprise that Zhu Wei gave him was really too great. Even if he is not a nine-year-old child, he is still very powerful.

"You mentioned changes in wheat and rice varieties, and this change is actually genetic."

Su Jing continued.

Ok?
Zhu Wei frowned, and said to Su Jing with his eyes wide open: "Master Su, didn't you just say that inheritance is called inheritance? How can this variety change be inheritance?"

Su Jing smiled and said: "Why is change not heredity? Inheritance represents the inheritance of characteristics, but not all the characteristics of the mother's generation can be inherited, and some of the characteristics that cannot be inherited will change."

"The process of breed improvement is to inherit the characteristics we think are good and discard the bad ones."

"Such a change is the application of genetics."

Su Jing's words shocked Zhu Wei's heart and strengthened his confidence in studying genetics.

Su Jing continued to talk about the content of genetics, popularizing various terms of genetics, until Zhu Wei asked this question:

"So what are the laws of inheritance? How are the traits of plants passed on to the next generation?"

Hearing this question, the corners of Su Jing's mouth raised.

My own guidance was finally not in vain.

He looked at Zhu Lu and said, "You asked a very good question, but I don't have an answer to this question for the time being."

Zhu Wei obviously showed a hint of disappointment, and said with some regret: "It turns out that Master Su didn't know either."

"Niu Su, maybe you can find a way to find this pattern."

Su Jing continued to guide Zhu Xidao.

"I?"

Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "How can I find the answer to something that even Master Su doesn't know?"

"Why not?"

Su Jing asked back: "You are only nine years old this year. To be honest, I have never seen a child of your age with your insight. As long as you think about it, time is on your side."

Su Jing didn't lie, what he had never seen before also included all of his past and present lives.

Su Jing had never seen such a precocious Zhu Sui, who was full of love for botany from the bottom of his heart, even in his previous life.

Hearing Su Jing's words, Zhu Wei felt flattered.

"Master Su praised it, the students just like it."

Zhu Wei said modestly.

The more Su Jing looked at it, the more he felt that Zhu Xi was quite a good kid.

"Believe in yourself, believe in my vision, you will definitely be able to."

Su Jing said very seriously: "Looking for the laws of genetics, this important task is entrusted to you."

"Students understand."

Zhu Wei nodded, and there was firmness in his eyes.

Su Jing was a little excited. He was thinking, under his guidance, could he train his apprentice into a great Mendel.

Mendel was in the nineteenth century, and now it is the fourteenth century.

Almost 500 years too early!

If this is done, it will definitely be a feat!
Just thinking about it made Su Jing extremely excited.

It's just that you can't rush everything, you have to take your time.

Now Zhu Wei is still too young, and his knowledge reserve is not rich enough, and there is still a lot to add.

the other side.

Forbidden City, Dahondo.

The news of Zhu Huan's departure from the Agricultural College has already spread.

Although no one told them where Zhu Wei had gone, as the princes present at the time, they all knew that Zhu Wei had gone to study with Su Jing.

"Second brother, what do you think fifth brother is doing now?"

The sixth Zhu Zhen looked curious and asked the second Zhu Xi.

At that time, he proposed to visit the Agricultural College, but was stopped by Zhu Xi.

"I don't know, it won't be too easy anyway."

Zhu Xi replied.

Although being able to study beside Su Jing is definitely an enviable thing, but when thinking about the study of the fifth Zhu Xi in the Agricultural College, Zhu Xi feels that it is okay not to go.

"It's a pity, the emperor won't let us learn from the fifth younger brother, otherwise I will go too."

The third child, Zhu Yan, felt a little lost.

"No, third brother, you really want to go. It's not like you don't know what fifth brother studied in the agricultural college. He ran in the fields all day, and he was tanned."

The second child Zhu Chen looked at the third child Zhu Chen with a look of disbelief.

Zhu Wei replied: "Second brother, you are right, but now the fifth brother is studying under that Mr. Su, and the eldest brother is also there. If you don't want to go, I want to go anyway."

Zhu Xi didn't know what to say when he was stunned by these words, he turned to look at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, what do you think?"

Zhu Di said calmly: "I don't care. If that Mr. Su can teach me how to march, I would like to learn from him."

Although Zhu Di was young at this time, he was especially keen on military and political aspects.

Reading is not what he should do.

Fighting is what a real man does!
"Oh, blame me, what are you doing, you don't care about anything other than being interested in war."

Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, and felt that he shouldn't ask the fourth brother Zhu Di.

At this moment, the third child, Zhu Yan, said: "Fourth brother, that Mr. Su, it seems that he really knows how to march."

Ok?
As soon as these words came out, the princes in the main hall became curious instantly.

And Zhu Di, who had been extremely calm all this time, also asked the third brother Zhu Bian: "Third brother, is what you said true?"

"Third brother, how do you know?"

The second child, Zhu Xi, immediately said strangely.

Zhu Yan immediately said: "Actually, I just found out about it. When I went to my father's place before, I saw a saying about the golden ratio, and then I asked my father a question."

"The golden ratio? What does that mean?"

Zhu Xi frowned.

Zhu Wei replied: "Second brother, don't worry, I'll tell you right away. Father said that there are many principles contained in the golden ratio. For example, the change of the army formation can be carried out using the golden ratio."

"And when the two armies are at war, how to break through the enemy army can also use the golden ratio."

"In short, there are many places that can be used, and it's not just about marching. But I asked my father what the golden ratio is and how to use it, but my father didn't tell me."

"It was only later that I found out that the golden ratio is also what Mr. Su said."

After Zhu Yan finished speaking, all the princes in the main hall were a little stunned, especially Zhu Di.

"Third brother, what exactly is the golden ratio?"

Zhu Di came in front of Zhu Yan and asked impatiently.

Marching and fighting is Zhu Di's favorite thing.

Now that he heard the news, how could he not be excited.

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Fourth brother, I asked my father, but my father didn't tell me."

He knew that his fourth brother liked military affairs, so he specifically mentioned it.

I just didn't expect that Zhu Di's reaction would be so big.

Zhu Di was a little disappointed, more regretful, why didn't he stay with the fifth brother Zhu Huan at that time, otherwise he would be able to learn by Su Jing's side now.

This golden ratio sounds like a universal thing.

There are both changes in the army formation and methods of defeating the enemy. If I can learn this, it will be even more powerful!
The other princes asked Zhu Bian about other things about Su Jing, such as whether Su Jing had any special theoretical knowledge.

Zhu Di looked out the window with a firm gaze, and he had a goal in mind:
I also want to be Su Jing's student!

However, what he didn't know was that when they were talking about Su Jing in the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang in the Fengxian Hall was also reading the letter that Zhu Biao had just sent back.

"Yeah, not bad, not bad, Lao Wu has settled down properly, very good."

Zhu Yuanzhang was still very satisfied seeing that the fifth brother Zhu Wei was not rejected by Su Jing and stayed by his side safely.

This time, Su Jing did not oppose him.

But the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face only lasted for a while, then froze.

"Damn it, you Su Jing, I let the princes learn from you, it's for your face, you dare to have an opinion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed, because Zhu Biao was also an honest person, so he faithfully recounted what Su Jing said at the dinner table.

Seeing this old Zhu getting angry, didn't he just come up?

How many people want to be the prince's teacher is not enough qualifications, now that Lao Zhu sent his son there in person, Su Jing despised him instead.

From Lao Zhu's point of view, Su Jing was a bit out of touch.

"I want my other sons to recognize you as a teacher, Su Jing, don't be too proud, my other sons don't like you!"

Old Zhu muttered something to himself, trying to save himself some face.

Anyway, I won't arrange for the prince to go there for the time being, and I still have to get over my addiction.

It's a pity, what Lao Zhu didn't expect was that his sons were already discussing Su Jing enthusiastically.

The team that wants to take the initiative to apprentice is growing!
