Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 526 To Shannan Road

The Shangyuan Festival is the most grand festival in this era. However, the palace is full of gloomy and gloomy appearance. Many young princes who have lived a prosperous and comfortable life in the palace since birth will have their first time tomorrow. They have gone far away, and the emperor did not allow them to take any of the personal servants who were obedient to them on weekdays, but sent each of them a maid whom he did not know, and a servant who did not listen to them very much. Guards, looking at the way these two walk, you can tell that they are all Lianjiazi, and they should be secret guards trained by Li Shimin and his wife.

If they were just going out to experience the local life for a few months, they would not have such emotions. Before leaving, they also received news that the management system of the harem will be improved in an all-round way, and they will come back when they come back At that time, all the maids and eunuchs serving them now are gone, that is to say, these two secret guards may be their lifelong companions.

As for those palace people, who are as meticulous as Empress Changsun, they must all be called together, trained, and used to operate the other commercial plazas that will open one after another. Not only that, she also ordered that the shops in the commercial plaza be leased. The proprietors of the family came out and received the training organized by the grandson's family together. Immediately, the maids and servants in the various dignitary mansions in Chang'an decreased by almost [-] to [-] percent. Empress Changsun, this is a suggestion based on Sun Xiangfu's premise. of the implementation.

If only Sun Xiangfu went to Shannan Road by himself, it would be very simple, but if a few children who were still awake were added, it would be a bit noisy.

When Sun Jing woke up, he couldn't see his mother, Yu Xiu'er, and liked to cry.

When Sun Wanyu was stinky, only Sun Xiangfu could take care of her in person.

The two one-year-old little guys, Sun Feng and Sun Wanyu, basically can't let go, they entangle Hongmei and Chuntao tightly, if they come to play with you, you ignore them, all kinds of screams!Catch!Make a fuss!Tossing you have to compromise.

Therefore, since he was on the road, Sun Xiangfu has really experienced the hard work of raising children.

"If I had known earlier, I would have brought Xi Niang and Duan Niang along." Sun Xiangfu said gloomily after finally getting the children tired from playing and letting them sleep on the soft bed in the carriage.

"As soon as the children get together, they will go to the sky. My husband is usually busy with official duties, and I dare not let the children disturb my husband. Now I know that it is not easy for me!" Hongmei helped Sun Xiangfu to hold the child. Holding the sore arm, Chuntao helped him press the thigh that was a little numb after bowing for too long and said with a smile.

"No matter how tired you are with your own children, you are happy, but it is different to take care of other people's children. If we continue to walk so slowly, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up with the paddy rice breeding."

Although Sun Xiangfu is not unfamiliar with rice planting at all, it is impossible for him to engage in hybrid rice breeding as soon as he comes up, because he first needs to find different rice species. What to do is actually to teach the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to organize the field, fertilize, and even cultivate subspecies according to more scientific methods.

When Sun Xiangfu came across, the hybrid rice research center he was working for had already solved the main problem of utilizing inter-subspecies hybrid advantages. The inter-subspecies super hybrid rice newly bred in the test field has large panicles, many grains, and excellent quality. It is 20.00% higher than the yield of high-yield hybrid rice commonly planted before, and the yield per mu has exceeded [-] kilograms.

However, the output of more than 2000 catties per mu, at this period, Sun Xiangfu did not dare to think about it. Although he knew the whole set of theoretical knowledge and had participated in planting, the current technological conditions are limited. First of all, the fertility of your field is impossible. Reach the indicators of those experimental fields in later generations.

Therefore, it will take a relatively long period of time to increase the yield of rice, just like he taught the peasants to use the quaternary seed management technology to cultivate fine wheat seeds. It will take several years to obtain a certain amount of time. Results, later, and then step by step, gradually pushed up.

Of course, since he decided to do it, he was still somewhat sure.

In the first year of Zhenguan, he opened an experimental field in Lingnan and planted Champa rice, which achieved a wet weight of ten shi and three per mu. Calculated according to dry rice, it should be more than eight shi and less than nine shi, which is a thousand catties!Then the rice produced should be seven to eight hundred catties.

But in fact, the output of ordinary people is much lower than the output of his experimental field. According to the data fed back from Jiangnan and Lingnan in the past two years, ordinary people, even if they only take the output of Shangtian On average, the dry rice produced per mu is basically no more than six shi, only about 500 catties, and it can produce more than four shi, or more than [-] catties, which is roughly equivalent to the level of the later Ming Dynasty.

In Sun Xiangfu's view, there is still a lot of room for improvement in this yield. In the Dongting Lake area, which is just suitable for planting two seasons of hybrid rice a year, if the three-line hybrid rice technology is used for planting, the yield per mu should be higher than the previous maximum. In terms of good grades, one to two percent is mentioned.

If the conditions are ripe, it is not impossible to promote the super rice breeding program, like the first phase of super rice in my country from [-] to the millennium, and the yield will reach more than [-] kilograms per mu.

This is because the technology Sun Xiangfu learned and used has advanced three to four levels compared to the first generation of super rice breeding. Of course, it is impossible to exceed the [-] kilograms per mu yield of the third period, because By the third period, the combination of molecular technology and conventional breeding has begun.

Without the use of molecular technology, Sun Xiangfu can at best use the conventional breeding technology to the extreme, pushing it to a yield of [-] to [-] kilograms per mu. After all, one mu of land in this period is only equivalent to more than [-]% of the future generations. In a nutshell, if the production capacity per mu reaches [-] jin of dry rice, it will be about [-]% higher than his first experimental field in Lingnan, which is enough to shock the world.

After removing about 200% of the weight of the chaff, the rice production capacity per mu is ten shi. Even if it is impossible for ordinary people to grow to the level of Sun Xiangfu, it is still possible to reach about seven or eight shi. This is more than the current main food crops in Guanzhong. The economic value of wheat is much higher. With this grain output, the output of one mu of land is almost enough to supply a person's staple food consumption for a year. Counting two seasons a year, 3000 million young and strong people come to work in agriculture, which can properly guarantee the food rations of more than [-] million people in Datang.

Among the more than 3000 million people in the Tang Dynasty, the real young and strong population is only about [-] million. This means that less than [-]% of the young and strong population is used to solve the problem of eating for everyone, and the remaining [-]% are young and strong. The population can be engaged in various other industries, and this is not counting the output of middle-aged and elderly people who still have some labor force. With such basic conditions, it is difficult for Datang's economy not to make a leap.

Of course, this expectation only exists in Sun Xiangfu's general conception. Even if it is to achieve the first breeding and planting of improved rice, the whole process will take almost four years, and it is best to wait for these four years. It is better to have good weather and avoid any catastrophe.

Not long after the convoy had left, it stopped again. Sun Xiangfu got out of the carriage a little annoyed, and Zhang Ke, who had been recruited back to the team, asked, "What's the matter?"

"It seems that the King of Han wants to give Gong."

"Hey, this group of little guys is still going on. It's been agreed. Let's take turns! Tell the accompanying servant that when we arrive at the next market town, I will equip each of them with a toilet in their compartment. These little guys want It’s okay to pull, just solve it in the carriage, without my permission, you are not allowed to stop and dump the excrement, if you like to pull, let them stink all the way to Jingzhou.”

A group of boys, no older than twelve or thirteen years old, had emotions and didn't want to go to Shannan Road, but they didn't come up with any clever tricks. Using this method, procrastinating and delaying the trip, they were the ones who suffered.

Now, except for that boy Li Tai, who dragged everyone into the water and was isolated by everyone's hatred and honesty, Li Ke, the king of Shu, is able to stay calm, read books in the carriage, and do some learning. , the other kings, especially the younger Li You and Li Yin, are more difficult to serve than these dawdling guys. Sun Xiangfu directly gave orders to the secret guards in charge of taking care of them. After leaving Chang'an, it's a dragon, and you have to stay in the carriage and be honest.

"Why? This king is just showing respect. Why don't you Sun Zhengming allow it? Even the emperor brother is not so unreasonable."

Han Wang Li Yuanchang is also a little fat man. The reason why he is so fat is thanks to the sweets offered by Lingnan. Usually, under the care of his mother and concubine, he almost lives a life of obedience. Everything felt bad, but Sun Xiangfu quickly let him understand what imperial decree power is.

"King of Han, right! Do you know what His Majesty gave me before leaving?"

"What, what's the purpose?"

Li Yuanchang is not afraid of Sun Xiangfu, but he is still more afraid of Li Shimin. Hearing Sun Xiangfu's tone, he knew that Li Shimin might have given him some orders to discipline himself and these princes. His two servants were even more afraid to resist the order.

"Your Majesty said that during the rice planting period in Shannan Road, I will give all the discipline to the kings. If necessary, I can execute a punishment of up to [-] lashes. By the way, my whip!"

As Sun Xiangfu said, a guard immediately lifted a red sandalwood box to the front of the car. The lid was opened, and inside lay a whip made of hard cowhide with texture. It can draw bloodstains, not to mention the delicate skin and tender flesh of these little princes.

Seeing this whip, Li Yuanchang's fat body trembled in shock. He recognized that it belonged to the royal family, but he saw that Sun Xiangfu did not pick up the whip to beat him, but said again, "except I can punish you in many ways. For example, for people like you who poop a lot, I can punish you not to eat, not to drink, and even to do all kinds of work. If you don’t want to be punished, you’d better be honest. , Shannan Road, there are no servants recruited, washing and cooking, I guess you can't do it, things like emptying the toilet are probably done by the disobedient among you..."

"I, I, I, I'll get in the car right away, don't find excuses to punish me, otherwise, I will definitely go to my father and brother to file a complaint."

As Li Yuanchang said, he quickly climbed up to his carriage. Unexpectedly, Sun Xiangfu continued, "I want to tell your majesty, I'm afraid you have to wait a few years, the rice will not grow, and you will never be able to return to Chang'an, so, it's best Be honest, otherwise, you may end up emptying toilets in Shannan Road for years."

"Pfft."

Li Yuanchang was so frightened by Sun Xiangfu's words that he slipped and fell on the carriage. Regardless of his painful knee, he got into the innermost part of the carriage and never dared to show his face again.

At this time, Chuntao, who saw the conversation between Sun Xiangfu and Li Yuanchang in the carriage, said, "My husband went to Shannan Road to do business. Why did your majesty hand over so many little princes to your husband?"

"Hey, who knows what our majesty is thinking in his heart! Perhaps, the increasing number of younger brothers and sisters has become an annoyance to him!"
