The Reborn Wife is Farming

Little Xiong took out the contents of the brocade box and put it aside, took out his little dagger and put it in, happily showing off to his father, "Father, is it so beautiful?"

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes, turned his head and said to Mu Yangling: "Why hasn't the child's speaking problem corrected yet?" Turning back to his son, he said, "You don't need to add 'good' to ask if a person is beautiful, just ask 'is she beautiful'? That's it."

Little Bear asked persistently, "Is it pretty?"

Qi Haoran nodded, "Pretty."

Mu Yangling picked up the grain skewers on the couch and asked, "Where did this come from? How did you put it in the brocade box?"

"It was given by someone from Luo Dian," Qi Haoran curled his lips, "What does it mean to send a bunch of grains? Could it be that he wants to donate rations to the Lord's army? Then just write the list and hand it over. You have to pretend A string of grains to fool the master, hmph, the master ignored them."

Qi Haoran didn't understand Luo Dianren's expression, but he knew that the aura should not be weak at any time, so even if he didn't understand, he didn't ask. If he really planned to come back, he would ask Mr. Qian. Who knew that the brocade box was taken over by his son first. .

Mu Yangling is not Qi Haoran, she is very concerned about the things in the farmland, plus the No. 1 upland rice produced in the Northland, she also asked people to collect the harvest of No. 1 upland rice in various places, and the steward below sent it A sample of valley skewers.

Mu Yangling gently rubbed his fingers to crush the chaff, squeezed out a grain of rice from it, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully, the taste was a little worse than the traditional medium grain, but better than the dry rice No. It tastes better.

Mu Yangling looked at the quantity on the grain string, weighed it, and said, "He wants you to see the grain."

Mu Yangling put the grain skewers on the table, and said to Lichun, "Go to my little study and bring the data and grain skewers sent by the stewards last time."

Mu Yangling showed the data to Qi Haoran, opened the box by himself, and found that it was full of grain skewers with labels on them. Mu Yangling put those grain skewers on the table one by one, and put the skewers aside for comparison. Haoran squinted his eyes after reading the data and then at the grain skewers on the table.

Li Chun muttered: "It's not much different, it looks similar."

Mu Yangling smiled slightly and said, "Then you count carefully to see how many grains are on it."

Lichun and Gu Yu looked at each other, took the grain skewers and counted them. These grain skewers were all about the same length, and there was no difference at first glance, but if you compare them carefully, you will find that the ones sent by Luo Dian are half a finger longer than theirs. Counting grains one by one, there are so many strings of grains that none of them can pass Luo Dian.

Li Chun sent the things back and said in a low voice, "The most is eight grains more than ours, and the least is four grains more."

"Just a few grains of rice, it's actually not too much." Gu Yu didn't understand why the princess insisted on competing with a bunch of grains.

Mu Yangling said: "There are four to eight extra grains in just one string of grains. Do you know how many clusters of rice ears are in one mu of land? The advantage of Upland Rice No. 1 is that it is drought-resistant but high-yielding. Under the same conditions, its The yield is about 12 catties higher than that of the traditional rice we planted before. This is the data calculated by comparing nearly 10,000 mu of rice fields. One mu is 12 catties more. That 10,000 mu, 100,000 mu, and 1 million mu can How much more kilograms?"

Mu Yangling took a deep breath and said, "The grain skewers brought out by Luo Dian are better than ours, which means that our increased unit price is not only twelve catties, but can be even higher. How about the sowing conditions and stability of the seed, if it can be compared with ordinary grain, even if it is not as good as Upland Rice No. 1, it can increase the income of the people and the treasury a lot.”

Qi Haoran is not stupid, Mu Yangling understood as soon as Mu Yangling said it, he picked up the string of grains and narrowed his eyes slightly, "No wonder you put a string of grains in a brocade box worth a hundred gold, that's what it means. "

Mu Yangling nodded, "It's worthy of a brocade box. Go and meet the people in Naluodian. I think they must know that we are promoting the dry rice No. 1 and that we attach great importance to grain production, so Gifts were specifically picked that we would be interested in."

"If you're so troublesome, you must have something to ask for, but even if this string of grains is precious, what should I do if you're still unhappy?" Qi Haoran snorted and said, "They just think that we will definitely beg them for grain seeds, so they dare to contact them openly. Bear."

Mu Yangling smiled and said: "It may be easy for Luo Dian to hide other things, but it is impossible to hide rice seeds. Don't forget, Luo Dian also belongs to me, Da Qi. Taxation, but next year is the last year, and they will have to pay tax in the next year at the latest. Is it possible that they don’t grow rice seeds in order to prevent us from getting them? So we also have an advantage, it’s nothing more than one year later It’s just planted every year.”

Qi Haoran committed the problem of being stingy, and said: "I have lost a lot of food in a year."

According to Ah Ling's calculation just now, one mu yields 12 catties more, and one million mu equals 1.2 million catties of grain. How much can this do?

Qi Haoran held the string of grains and summoned Liu Qing, Xu Zhi and Mr. Qian overnight.

Holding the string of grains in Liu Qing's hand, he compared it with Xu Zhizhou himself, and then went to look at the data of Dry Rice No. 1. Xu Zhizhou's eyes sparkled. He knew that this year's grain income was good, but he thought it was because of the good weather. After all, except for a period of drought at the beginning of spring this year, it is rainy and sunny at other times, which is considered timely.

However, the comparison of these data made by the Wangfu shows that under the same conditions, the dry rice No. 1 has an average yield of 12 catties per mu higher than that of the traditional rice species. What if it is the higher-yielding Luodian rice variety?

Xu Zhizhou asked anxiously: "My lord, did the people in Luo Dian tell you what the conditions are for sowing the rice seeds?"

Qi Haoran glanced at him, and said, "Didn't you meet the people in Luo Dian?"

Xu Zhizhou choked, and turned to look at Liu Qing. Liu Qing thought more than Xu Zhizhou. He knew how long and how much the Mu family paid for the research of Dry Rice No. 1. This thing is because Mu Yangling Yes, she voluntarily sold the rice seeds for Daqi, but it doesn't mean that other people have her courage.

Liu Qing asked: "I don't know what request Luo Dian has."

Finally one of them understood, Qi Haoran sat on the chair with his robe lifted, and said: "I haven't met them yet, so the terms have not been discussed yet, the Lord called you here just to ask your opinions, if this rice seed arrives Can we have such a high yield in our hands, and don’t end up paying the price for the court to get back a batch of waste.”

Liu Qing didn't know much about farming. Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Xu Zhizhou, and Mr. Qian also looked at Xu Zhi. Things can't be seen just by looking at the rice seeds. You have to plant them to know.

So he also stared at the three of them with big eyes and small eyes.
