The short videos I watched are from ancient times, and the ancients broke the defense

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head.

Looking at the sky quietly.

A voice whose tone could not be heard came out.

Asked Zhu Biao behind him

"Biao'er, do you think this descendant named Yuan has succeeded? Zhu

Biao thought for a moment and then replied

"I thought......It should be a success." he explained

"The title of this issue of Tianmu is Rice God"

"Since this can be used as a topic"

"Presumably, grain seeds that can increase yields have been developed."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

Yes.

It must have been successful.

Otherwise, would the video title be called 'Rice God'?

In fact, he thought so too.

The reason why he still asks this question is just because...

He couldn't believe it!

One sentence to increase production.

Although it sounds simple.

Light and airy.

But looking at China for thousands of years.

Grain production has been gradually increasing. improved to the present day.

In fact, it is difficult to have room for improvement.

Pre-Qin period

《"Huainanzi Zhushu Xun" mentioned:"Ten acres of field, the annual harvest is only forty shi." The equivalent of an acre of rice is 4 shi, which is 2.4 shi when converted into rice.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, one stone was 14 kilograms.

The grain yield per mu during the Qin and Han Dynasties was: rice, 96 jin/mu.

Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The South was developed

"One hectare and one hundred acres produces more than fifty hu (stones) of rice."

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, 1 stone was 42 kilograms, and 1 mu was 0.8 mu today.

The grain output per mu during the Sui and Tang Dynasties was: rice, 157 kilograms per mu.

During the Song Dynasty, the agricultural center of gravity continued to move southward.

《"Report on Famine Relief Matters" mentioned that"every mu produces two shi of rice." In the two Song Dynasties, 1 shi was 49 kilograms, and 1 mu was 0.9 mu now.

The grain yield per mu in the Song Dynasty was: rice, 220 kilograms per mu.

Now it's Ming Dynasty.

Huguang is familiar with it, and the world is full of it. has become a consensus.

The rotation system of double-cropping rice and double-cropping wheat and rice is gradually being promoted.

Grain production per mu in the Ming Dynasty.

It has reached the peak of the era of small-scale peasant economy.

Came to 305/acre.

From 96 catties/mu to 157 catties/mu.

Used for more than 600 years.

From 157 catties/mu to 220 catties/mu.

Used for over 500 years.

From 220 catties/mu to 305 kg/mu.

It took more than 100 years

"The future generations in the sky are more than 600 years later"

"600 years......"

"Maybe we can really increase the grain yield per acre by a big margin!"

"How much exactly?"

"400 pounds?"

"Or 500?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to it.

If a yield of 500 kilograms per mu can really be achieved, then there will probably be no famines in future generations of China, right? And how big should the population be at that time?

......

【In 1973, Mr. Yuan officially announced the success of the three lines of Chinese indica hybrid rice!】

【In 1976, large-scale promotion began! The nationwide promotion area reaches 2.08 million acres!】

【In 1979, hybrid rice went abroad and was researched and promoted in dozens of countries and regions around the world!】

【In 2005, the United Nations World Food Program officially announced that it would stop food aid to China starting in 2006!】

【This marks the end of China’s 26-year history of food donation!】

【And turn into a food aid donor! 】

Have future generations of hybrid rice been successfully developed?

New content appears in the video.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked!

Success!

It actually worked!

This moment.

He actually felt like his eyes were filled with tears!

Although I don’t know what the so-called United Nations Food Program is.

But stop food aid to China.

This is already saying that China’s food is enough!......

【to this day】

【China’s hybrid rice yield record is still breaking new records】

【In 2019, the third-generation hybrid rice pioneer combination"Sanyou No. 1" was cultivated in single-crop late rice in Hengnan and achieved a yield of 1,046.3 kilograms per mu!】

【In 2020, in the same plot of land, a double-cropping late rice super-high-yield research experiment was conducted, and the average early rice yield per mu was 619.06 kilograms! The average late rice yield per mu is 911.7 kilograms!】

【The double-cropping yield of hybrid rice developed by the team of"the father of hybrid rice" Mr. Yuan exceeded the 1,500 kilogram mark, once again setting a new record!】

【With a yield of 3,000 kilograms per acre, one acre of land can feed five more people! 】

Under the power of the sky.

The ancients understood the unit kilogram.

And know that 1 kilogram is equal to their 2 kilograms.

A single crop yields 2,000 kilograms of rice per mu!

The double-cropping rice yield is 3,000 kilograms per mu!

See this number.

Snapped!

Zhu Yuanzhang completely lost his composure!

He didn't stand firm for a moment.

Kaka two steps back.

After a while, I sat on the dragon throne!

"3000 pounds?"

He was dumbfounded!

His eyes widened.

He stared at the golden rice on the sky!

The current rice yield per mu in the Ming Dynasty was only 300 kilograms!

In just a few hundred years, later generations actually increased this number. 10 times!!!

"Rice god!"

"This is the real rice god!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that his whole body was trembling!

And after the excitement, he was followed by great regret!

"We really hate it!"

"Why weren't people like this born in our Ming Dynasty?"

"deliver an imperial order!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed twice.

Then he stood up and waved his hand!

"deliver an imperial order!"

"From now on, we are collecting rice seeds from all over the country!"

"We want to use the best rice seeds to cultivate grains!"

"If one generation doesn’t work, then two!"

"If two generations don’t work, then three generations!"

"One day, our Ming Dynasty’s grain yield will reach 3,000 kilograms per mu!"

Zhu Biao's face condensed.

"My son, go and do it now!"......

The Tang Dynasty plane.

Li Shimin was also dumbfounded!

"3000 pounds?"

"One acre of land can produce 3,000 kilograms of grain?"

"Oh My God!"

"I can't be dreaming!"

Li Er pinched his thigh intentionally.

Hiss!

It hurts!

It's really not a dream!

"3,000 pounds!"

"The 10 acres of land in the Tang Dynasty could not keep up with the output of one acre of land in later generations!"

"If I had the rice seeds developed by the Rice God, wouldn't it be equivalent to increasing the territory of the Tang Dynasty by 10 times?"

At this moment,

Li Er was extremely envious!

If the grain yield of the Tang Dynasty could reach 3,000 kilograms per mu, then he could lead the Tang cavalry and tear off the heads of all the Turks and play them as balls!

Changsun Wuji was also surprised..After calming down, he thought of Mr. Yuan’s process of developing rice seeds.

He immediately looked serious and suggested to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, although the God of Rice was born in later generations, we, the Tang Dynasty, can also learn from the methods of research and development."

Li Er's eyes lit up.

"Let’s talk about the auxiliary machine in detail!"

"yes. Changsun

Wuji said

"Chen observes the rice god’s method of cultivating grain seeds, which is called hybridization"

"The meaning of hybridization is to cross-breed two different rice species with each other to select the best one!"

"Although our Tang Dynasty did not have the later instruments shown in the Tianmu just now, there was not only one type of rice."

"Why doesn't Your Majesty send someone to take charge of this matter, hybridize various kinds of rice, select the best from the best, and cultivate more high-yielding rice seeds?"

The phenomenon of hybridization was not unknown to the ancients.

However, there was no systematic and large-scale hybridization experiment.

At this time, inspired by the video,

Changsun Wuji immediately thought of it. The Tang Dynasty could also imitate the methods of later generations.

Nurture!

After listening,

Li Shimin’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He decisively agreed!

"What the auxiliary machine said was good"

"I once heard that rice in Jiaozhi can be harvested twice or even three times a year."

"I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true"

"deliver an imperial order!"

"From now on, a 'Agricultural Supervisor' will be established to take charge of grain cultivation!"

Speaking of this,

Li Shimin paused.

He raised his head again and looked at the sky.

He said slowly

"Although the Rice God is not a person of the Tang Dynasty,"

"But cultivating grain seeds to benefit future generations is an act that will last forever and benefit the country and the people!"

"deliver an imperial order!"

"He canonized Mr. Yuan as the 'Rice God of China, who assists the country, protects the saints, and protects the people', built a rice temple, incorporated it into the sacrificial ceremony, and performed the Spring and Autumn Sacrifice with the Tailao Sacrifice!"

Canonize Mr. Yuan as the God of Rice!

Hearing this,

Changsun Wuji was shocked!
