Start with a god-level director

Chapter 246 It's just a small grain...

People need to have similar interests.

The two rangers were naturally also very happy. They talked about many things with others. Others thought it was fantasy, but Shen Yu not only said it in detail, but even brought up the principle. through those places!

If it wasn't for Shen Yu who was only in his 20s, they would all be sure of this, because most of the time, Shen Yu even completed some of what they said.

Of course, the two rangers looked at Shen Yu's gaze and appreciated it more and more. It was like a fisherman meeting a friend, as if a gluer met a friend. The two of them have very strong martial arts, but they don't like making achievements. He didn't create a sect, instead, he traveled and played all over the world, which caused countless criticisms.

But Shen Yu felt that they were doing the right thing. Traveling in the mountains and rivers was much better than fighting and killing.

"Well, it's getting too far, both of you, I'll take out the book and let you have a look."

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, after we read it, we will definitely not spread it to the outside world."

"There's no need to keep it secret, and it's okay to spread it. I originally wanted Empress Yang to dedicate it to His Majesty quietly, but since there's such a big commotion, it doesn't matter if this book is made public, Sister-in-law Nine."

Sister-in-law Nine is Princess Su, Shen Yu said to her, "Go to my library and bring the book named Tianfang Travels in the third row of the fifth row."

"Ah."

Concubine Su nodded, and quickly went to Shen Yu's library. The corner of Xue Yuhua's mouth moved slightly, wanting to tell Concubine Su to take a look at what was inside, but she held back.

"That's the backup of volume No.18 I wrote. You two can take a look at it later. Actually... I didn't want to make this volume public before, because there are some things in it that you haven't seen before, so someone will bring it up. Dissenting, questioning the authenticity, so I gave it to Queen Yang and asked her to give it to the emperor, and then the emperor asked someone to find those things, but it was safer.

But the two of you are different. You have seen a lot of things from all over the world, so I believe you won't scold me for scribbling. "

Shen Yu explained to the people in front of her like this, and soon after, Princess Su came over with a box, her expression was very calm, um, this is a good girl, no matter how curious she was, she didn't peek, otherwise her expression would not be like this .

"You two, please."

"I'll come first."

It was the wife who spoke, and she began to flip through the manuscript in front of her.

"Well, wheat... barley...Mr. Shen, you paint very well and are lifelike. I have seen many scholars who can't even tell the difference between barley and rice. Hey, there is also rye. Have you really seen this thing? "

She looked at it generously, and made praises from time to time.

The couple admired Shen Yu very much, because this young man's knowledge and experience really suited their appetite.

"Potato……"

Turning to the next page, the voice of the beautiful and dignified wife suddenly stopped there like a choked hen, and her expression became extremely exciting.

"Corn, what is this?"

Seeing his wife's appearance, the husband was also stunned for a moment, and he poked his head to look, but he only took one look, and his voice stopped, and then he sighed like a toothache.

The two of them stared at the words and pictures as if they were struck by lightning.

"Potato!"

After the two of them sat blankly for a few minutes, they read that page again and again, then turned a page very solemnly, and then made a sound like a toothache.

As if being pierced by thousands of knives, and as if losing all their wealth, the two of them just sat there in a daze, as if life had lost its meaning.

That's right, the reason why Shen Yu's Compendium of Materia Medica has not been published on grains is because there are big killers in it, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes!

At the same time, there are their good partners, rye, cassava, bananas and so on.

In the era of [-] catties per mu, you tell everyone that there are several crops that can produce [-] catties, [-] catties and [-] catties per mu without picking land and requiring too much manpower. Then what do you think will happen? What kind of effect?
The pair of heroes in front of them, although they like to travel, it doesn’t mean they don’t know the use of high-yield crops. It can even be said that they have traveled all their lives, but they hope to have the opportunity to make simple contributions and start a business. To prove that their life is right, for example, when they travel, they found corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, then...

In fact, it's not that they don't want to make contributions. They even brought some rye back, but it's a pity that it didn't become popular.

Then, they turned to the next page and saw sweet potatoes...

Shen Yu introduced this big killer with a yield of [-] catties in detail and thoughtfully. The barren land, ravines and even roadsides can grow good things. It tastes like steamed pumpkin with sugar.

The two heroes sat in front of the tree dumbfounded, of course they would not think that Shen Yu was lying.

They are masters of plants. The corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other things recorded in it are completely self-consistent, and there are also things like rye, highland barley, and cassava. Why do people want to deceive people like this?
Read it over and over again, read it again and again, until I memorized all the words and details.

"Mr. Shen."

The two bowed deeply to Shen Yu again, "Excuse me, Mr. Shen, what can we do for Mr. Shen?"

"You two are very polite. If you can come to visit me, I will be lucky. As for other things, I really don't need to. Today's talk, the two of you have also given me great help!"

Shen Yu said very sincerely that he benefited a lot from meeting these two today.

These two rangers helped him complete a lot of knowledge about this world, and verified that this world is actually a parallel world similar to Earth, Ming Dynasty, etc., of course, because there are many differences in history, and because of the existence of extraordinary power , Many things have changed, and it is not even sure whether the earth is now 60 billion years old. After all, who knows if a certain ape-man evolved hundreds of thousands of millions of years in advance?

What if some earth-shaking changes happened in the Americas, and potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes did not appear?
Of course, there are solutions to all these, as long as there is no change in general, and these two rangers have given him very good help, making sure that there are no problems with ocean currents and monsoons.

"Please take this book back to Fuzheng, if anyone wants to read it, that's fine too, thank you."

Shen Yuke politely put the book into a box and gave it to the two rangers.

The two of them took the book solemnly, and after confirming again that there was no need to conceal the contents, the husband and wife also untied their long swords and brought them to Shen Yu.

The two divine swords, one long and one short, one green and one blue, were an adventure they had obtained from an ancient tomb when they were young. The blade of the divine weapon has been with them for so many years, and it is still extremely sharp.

"Mr. Shen, take care."

"Let's go, both of you."

After sending the two away, Shen Yu and his sisters-in-law returned to the hall.

"I'm not good at using swords. Give these two swords to Sister-in-law Si and Sister-in-law Fifth."

He said proudly, but why are everyone's eyes so resentful?
Didn't it mean that you were not allowed to read the book?
Corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are really not as delicious as big fish and meat.

What, they haven't read the cereal, their curiosity can kill the cat?

I just don't tell you, I just make your heart itch, teasing cats is fun, isn't it?

Anyway, you are not my wife!

……

"Shen Yu colluded with the Thief Saint and contacted the Sword Saint. In fact, it was Empress Yang who was hosting behind the scenes to create momentum for him and Empress Yang!"

In the book club in the south of the city, a group of scholars were criticizing Shen Yu wantonly.

Everyone is not afraid of such people as Thief Saint and Sword Saint, even Empress Yang. You don't let people talk about it during the peacetime?

What's more, now that Shen Yu has blatantly licked Empress Yang, of course we must resolutely oppose it!

As the so-called peers are enemies, literati have the right to speak, but now, Shen Yu has jumped out, showing more powerful propaganda methods.

Just like in history, whoever worked wholeheartedly for the emperor in peacetime would be denounced by scholars as a treacherous official with no bottom line, etc., because you can't break everyone's bargaining power.

It is very right and normal to do things for the emperor, but there must always be benefits, and anyone who dares to help the emperor charge forward is breaking the bargaining power.

And now... Shen Yu, not only has he shown his incredible flattering skills, but he has also shown the means to kick everyone out of Shilin.

If he wants to take our right to speak, we must stink him!
"The things in that box are just a joke. I even suspect that the Saints of Thieves and Saints of Swords are pretended to be by someone. How could they be high-spirited people do such a thing?"

When they hit you, they won't recognize you first.

"His Compendium of Materia Medica was plagiarized. Can he write an article of 300 million words as a young man? This is the writing style of the previous Chen Xueshi. He studied medicine all his life, and Shen Yu plagiarized his posthumous manuscript!"

When hitting you, destroy your reputation first, as long as you come out to argue, you will be settled for plagiarism!

"he……"

While the scholars were discussing in full swing, someone knocked on the door suddenly. Not long ago, when the couple of peerless heroes left the city gate, they were blocked by a monk. These two are also famous masters in the world. Take a look at the books in the box.

Everyone thought there would be a fight, but the old couple in Qingcheng said that it is no harm to read the book, anyone who is interested can read it.

So, sitting in a row and eating fruit, the No. 18 volume of grain chapter of Compendium of Materia Medica spread among the martial arts masters at the scene. Everyone's expressions ranged from calm to shocked to incredible, but suddenly realized.

No wonder the Thief Saint and the Sword Saint reacted like this. Even the hardest-hearted people present would understand the merits of producing [-] jin of crops per mu!

Haha, haha, Shen Yu plagiarized the suicide notes of the predecessors?

Well then...you gotta get corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes!

Now we are loyal fans of Mr. Shen, whoever dares to slander him, I will blow his head off!

Things are as simple as that, Shen Yu's worst strategy is to ease the conflict.

The biggest problem of Dagan is the lack of money and too many people, but if the crop yield has been greatly improved, wouldn’t the problem be solved?

If you produce [-] catties per mu, you will not be able to eat enough, but if you produce [-] catties per mu, you will be able to feed and clothe yourself and raise pigs and cattle!

None of you are allowed to slander Mr. Shen, or the peasant uncle will beat you to death with a hoe!
……

"Ah, hello sisters-in-law."

When he came out of the cellar in the morning, Shen Yu expressed his gratitude to the princess and the guards who were guarding outside.

As a world with extraordinary power, there are always many masters who like to transmit voices thousands of miles away, or take the initiative to visit. Regarding this, Shen Yu said, I will not give you all kinds of opportunities to sneak in. I just hid in the cellar, except for two Outside the mouse-sized air vent, there are thick iron doors and solid barriers. The iron doors are locked from the inside, and there are guards at the door.

"Mr. Shen, you are welcome."

These two concubines are the daughters of a civil servant in the capital. The elder sister is plump and charming, and the younger sister is lively and lovely. The two sisters were adopted by the nun of Xiaohan Mountain since they were young. Both of them have practiced the Snow Flower Excalibur to the highest level. A giant, not to mention two people teaming up, the two swords are simply the post of Hades.

After growing up, the two sisters became the prince's side concubines, and the prince would always take them with him when he traveled to protect his own safety.

The two sisters smiled at Shen Yu warmly. Compared with the princess who was studying history books, they liked to cling to the person in charge. After all, their lives were arranged from the very beginning.

When they were young, they were educated in the four virtues, and when they were apprentices to learn art, they also taught them the female virtues from the fundamentals, the families of civil servants, and the various efforts and resources of the sect, in order to have better returns.

"Thank you Mr. Shen for giving me the sword."

The elder sister thanked again, and the younger sister, with eyes turning, looked at Shen Yu again.

"Mr. Shen, do you still have volume No.18 here?"

"Well, of course there is."

Shen Yu pointed to his desk, "I know you are very curious, so I wrote another copy in the past two days and gave it to you as a souvenir."

"Ah, thank you Mr. Shen."

The younger sister was very happy, and hurried to get the manuscript.

"Well, I will trouble you for the next few days."

Shen Yu poked his head out from the basement, and then shrank back in like a tortoise.

He knows that the next few days will be very noisy, so... please help the princess and the others to block the traffic, otherwise, why would he live here?

Do you really think it's okay to live under the fence?
But when I think about it carefully, I came to this world. I am very grateful to these kind girls. I owe them so much for eating and using them. I can even tease them when I am in a good mood.

Just like raising a cat, if the cat can also make money, that's even better.

"Mr. Shen, Empress Yang is back."

"what?"

Shen Yu nodded, expressing my dear, you finally know that you are back!

Pity me, a handsome young man in his prime, who can't compare to the allure of a sweet potato!
That's good, go see Queen Yang.

"Then... let me take this book first. In case Yang Pingyuan runs away without a trace, Empress Yang will definitely ask me about the inside story. Why don't you just take this book, two sisters-in-law, I'm really sorry."

Shen Yu generously took the book handed to her from his sister, without any embarrassment at all.

……

In the magistrate's mansion in Linzhou City, Li Zhifu was flipping through the valley part in the fourth volume of the Compendium of Materia Medica. This is where he read it dozens of times, and even outlined it with a red pen.

Six days ago, the peerless hero couple brought out a roll of grains from the Compendium of Materia Medica, and asked everyone to copy it in broad daylight.

Although there are more than 20 words in total, the most important thing is only a few thousand words. All kinds of potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes spread quickly.

One becomes two, two becomes four, four multiplies by sixteen, and each family brings their teachers to copy the book on the spot, or observe the original version—after all, there are drawings inside, and there are prone to problems when transcribing.

He flipped through the book again.

In the Valley Department, there are records of rice, millet, beans, rice, etc., their habits, yield per mu, etc. This is very common, but when it is turned to the back, it is an extremely frightening place.

Potatoes, green stems and green leaves, leaves of different sizes, density, and oblong shapes. The roots have many white beards, and the bottom is round and solid. When the stem is pressed, the roots are as dense as sweet potatoes, and the stems are long and weak like vines. The cover is yellow. .Taste like taro but sweet, like potato but bland, stewed with soup, it is not unsuitable, the yield is [-] jin per mu, and it can be planted on poor land in sandy beaches and valleys.

Three thousand catties per mu!
This output made the blood vessels in Li Zhifu's head jump twice.

However, turning back, there is something equally horrifying.

Sweet potatoes are just as easy to grow, without too much care, can be planted in all kinds of ravines and rotten land, with a yield of [-] jin per mu, and the most important thing is that they can be planted multiple times a year!
Corn, the difficulty of planting is a little higher, and the yield per mu is a little lower, but it is still a full two thousand catties, and how did Shen Yu record it?
Both humans and animals are edible and can be stored for a long time, similar to rice, millet, etc... This is a proper staple food!

When the Crown Princess and others published the draft compendium, they gave Li Zhifu ten copies. Li Zhifu read them with great interest. Although there were many things that he could not understand, he admired them. Well, it's lifelike and catchy, which made him very admired. As for the lack of Yabe, he has always dismissed it. After all, there are special agricultural books for crops...

However, when he got the news and saw more than a dozen kinds of strange grains represented by sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, he only felt that his hypotension suddenly got better.

It has been 120 years since Dagan established the dynasty, and the world has been peaceful for 120 years. When the country was founded, a two-person family could reproduce a large family with thousands of people, so what about those big families?

The situation of vast land and sparse population in the past has long since ceased to exist. There are people everywhere, and lawsuits including death cases emerge in endlessly every year because of land distribution, but even if it is fertile land, the yield per mu is only [-] catties!

Li Zhifu is not mediocre and incompetent, but in the face of such a large population and less and less land, he is sometimes helpless. It is not that the people have thought of various ways to increase production, but that is the case.

Then, in the Compendium of Materia Medica, he saw that there were crops with a yield of three thousand catties, four thousand catties, and six thousand catties per mu, and they didn't even pick the land!

After Li Zhifu read it, his first thought was that Shen Yu was deceiving people, and then he immediately overturned this idea, because Shen Yu was responsible for the content of the book when he wrote the book, not to mention that the book was reviewed by the Crown Princess Yes, if there is no real evidence or related things, will the princess allow it?

He went to visit Shen Yu that day, but as a result, the door of Shen Yu's clinic was closed, and no visitors were seen in his house, saying that Mr. Shen was writing a book and it was inconvenient to see visitors, etc.

Well, Li Zhifu can only marry and visit the princess, and talked about many things in a roundabout way.
