Chapter 361 Argument
"Lord Li, it's not advisable to look at other people's things." Li Yuanbai said lightly.

When Master Li heard this, his face turned pale, and he knelt down in front of the emperor, "Your majesty is wise, I don't have any intention of spying on you. I just want to share the emperor's worries. Huo Qiqi will Extract the nutrient solution, if she can contribute the nutrient solution, then the common people can get great benefits from it, and the emperor will not have to worry about people's livelihood in the future."

"Master Li is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, and cares about the common people. Sixth, you are overthinking." The eldest prince stood up to defend Lord Li.

Master Li glanced at him gratefully, and couldn't help crying out for grievances.

"However, Master Li's question is indeed a bit too much. The nutrient solution belongs to Huo Qiqi, it is Huo Qiqi's personal belongings, and it is not good for others to interfere." The eldest prince glanced at Huo Qiqi again, and said with a smile. "Besides, Young Master Huo Qi is a citizen of Dayun Kingdom, so she naturally wants to share the emperor's worries, doesn't she?"

Ha, slap a candied date, really treat her like a child.

"Huo Qiqi is already willing to sell the grain to the imperial court, and let the imperial court distribute this batch of rice as rice seeds." Li Yuanbai said flatly, "If she doesn't have people in her heart, why bother?"

"Actually, the nutrient solution is not as mysterious as everyone said." Huo Qiqi said with a smile.

Everyone was shocked, did Huo Qiqi really want to contribute the nutrient solution?Everyone cheered up immediately, and Duke Huo blinked a few more times at Huo Qiqi.

Huo Qiqi smiled slightly, turned to look at the emperor and said seriously, "Strictly speaking, a nutrient is an extract, a common chemical."

Next, in order to let everyone understand what is an extract and what is a chemical, Huo Qiqi simply performed in the Imperial Study Room.What is the chemical reaction between quicklime and human exhaled carbon dioxide, vinegar and alkali.

While she was doing it, she explained it clearly and logically. Unfortunately, the chemical formulas and structures she said were completely incomprehensible to others. Even Li Yuanbai, a great talent, was also confused.As for Huo Qiqi's explanation, it made people dizzy even more.

"Of course, these are the simplest chemical reactions. The extraction of nutrient solution is far more complicated than this. What's more, the process of extracting nutrient solution also involves nutrition and biology, which is not so easy. "Huo Qiqi finally concluded.

Of course, without her saying anything, everyone also understood that it was impossible for others to imitate her.

Just like many Taoist alchemists, laymen can't learn it just by staring at it.

The emperor listened with great interest, and was even more curious about the master Huo Qiqi mentioned.It's a pity that Huo Qiqi said that that person died, but it seems that Huo Qiqi left a lot of good things.

"Father, Huo Qiqi has already explained the origin of the fine seeds, and please make a decision to let the imperial court buy this batch of millet and then distribute it." The third prince stepped forward and cupped his hands.

It was the first time Huo Qiqi saw this guy looking serious.

"My brother also thinks that this batch of rice can be distributed as seeds." King Ling also stood up.

"My minister thinks it's inappropriate." Grand Master Zhao objected, "Huo Qiqi himself said that there are some genes that have shortcomings, and if these rice grains mutate, it will harm the common people instead."

"Teacher Zhao is right. Even if there is a slight mistake, you can't try to plant."

"If the people have no harvest, it will be a man-made disaster."

"Who told you that the rice grown by the rice plant is useless?" Huo Qiqi asked lazily.

Is not it?Everyone was taken aback.

The corners of Li Yuanbai's mouth twitched slightly, "When the rice reaches the third and fourth generation, the yield will only decrease, and it will not fail. And even so, at most it will return to the original yield."

Shame!Master Li, Taishi Zhao and others were dumbfounded.It seems that Li Yuanbai did not say the words no grain harvest, they were just misled into thinking that the rice would have no harvest.

The emperor laughed, "Huo Qiqi, can Xiaomai do the same?"

"As for wheat, I also have a batch of fine varieties in my hand, but the quantity is not large. Except for my own use, the rest is shared by others." Huo Qiqi replied bluntly.

"Who are there?" the emperor asked.

He was thinking, no matter what, he had to get the wheat down, even if it could increase the production for a year, that would be good.Besides, Huo Qiqi's field can produce seeds every year, so why should he worry about it.

"The third prince, the sixth prince, the Lu family and General Chen, as well as my cousin's family, the Wang family, and the surrounding villages all use my seeds." Huo Qiqi counted a lot.

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at General Chen and the Lu family with envy and hatred.

If I had known earlier, they should have bought some land near Huo Qiqi's village.

Among them, the person who regrets the most is probably King Ling.The remorse in King Ling's heart, he wished he could go back immediately and beat up the prodigal son in the family.

Taishi Zhao also regretted it, but then he figured it out again.

There is a mismatch between the Ether Master's Mansion and the Huguo Duke's Mansion. No matter how many seeds Huo Qiqi has, he will not think of them first.

In the end, the debate among the ministers was finally over, and no one forced Huo Qiqi to hand over the nutrient solution.Li Yuanbai struck while the iron was hot, and brought the blueprint of the threshing machine to the emperor, "Because Huo Qiqi has made a lot of contributions, the Ministry of Industry plans to give Huo Qiqi [-]% interest for every threshing machine sold. The exception is the cheap threshing machine." .”

"Does the Ministry of Industry plan to sell the threshing machine at two prices, Sixth Prince?" Master Li stood up again.

"That's right. For ordinary farmers, the imperial court will sell them at a par price, that is, the cost price. But if the big families want to buy a threshing machine, they will pay a high price. The Ministry of Industry will post a notice prohibiting anyone from making a threshing machine alone. It is also a kind of protection and support for the manufacturers. In this way, it is also an example for ordinary people, as long as they can make contributions to the imperial court, the imperial court will reward them." Li Yuanbai said his plan.

"Father, my son thinks it's inappropriate." The eldest prince objected. "The launch of the two prices will inevitably cause confusion in the market. Although Lao Liu's idea is very good, but because the price difference in the middle is relatively large, if someone deliberately buys at a low price and sells at a high price, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction in the long run."

"There has never been a shortage of speculators and the like. Therefore, anyone who buys a threshing machine must ask the village to issue a certificate. If the threshing machine has not passed the legal procedures, it will be severely punished. Those who inform are punished. , and another ten taels of silver must be given to the informer." Li Yuanbai said lightly.

As soon as this remark came out, the First Prince had nothing to say.

Huo Qiqi looked at the officials coldly and sneered in his heart.Some people want to get something for nothing, and there is no door.However, after comparison, she felt that Li Yuanbai looked much more pleasing to the eye than the First Prince.
