Chapter 40

"Then let's take a look!"

As soon as he heard that it was related to his own life, Zhao Heng became anxious.

"Official family, according to what Zhuoqun said on the record, he thinks that the seeds and fertilizers we value the most, the minister will come to see what kind of treasures these two are that can make him so confident..."

Ding Wei didn't stop talking, and he quickly found a folder marked as a seed, and clicked it.

"Let me see, what kind of seeds are better than Champaign rice?"

Champaign rice is also known as "early occupation", "early rice" and "early Zhancheng".Song Dynasty rice varieties.Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (1008-1021) was promoted from Fujian to Jianghuai, Liangzhe and other roads.

According to ancient records, Champa rice has many characteristics.One is "drought tolerance".The second is strong adaptability, "born out of nowhere".Third, the growth period is short, only [-] days from planting to harvesting.

At this time, Champaign rice has already begun to be planted. Although the planting area is small, it is a well-recognized seed in the Song Dynasty, and the yield per mu should be 309 catties.

"Let me take a look. Hybrid rice, um, is also a rice seed. There is also a comparison of the yield per mu in the Song Dynasty. The average yield per mu in the north and south of the Song Dynasty was 309 catties. Not bad, not bad, I'll take a look..." Ding Wei looked at the screen and rubbed it. Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the screen dumbfounded and muttered, "800 kg per mu, 800 kg per mu..."

"Call it, call it." Kou Zhun saw where Ding Wei had been nagging, he pushed him and asked, "Call it, what did you see."

"I'll take a look too." After he finished speaking, he also looked at the screen, "I mean, it's not that I said you, a man is like a elk on the left, but his eyes don't..."

"It's fake, it's impossible, how can it be possible at this time." Kou Zhun suddenly started pacing in the hall, "Impossible, how can it be so different."

"Brother Ping Zhong, this should be true, Zhuo Qun will not use fakes to deceive us." Ding Wei also came to his senses at this time.

"Hybrid rice must get rice seeds, every year!" Ding Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Promise Zhuo Qun, doesn't he want three layers? Yes, just give the seeds."

"That's three-tier yield? Can it be grown for two seasons?" Kou Zhun said, "It's too much, so how about one acre and one kilogram?"

"That's also for me. If I get the seeds, the yield is 3000 jin per mu per year. What if I give him [-] jin." And you have also seen this seed, it can only produce grain, and cannot keep seeds."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Dan drank a cup of tea and asked, "Seeds, 1600 jin per mu of seeds can be grown for two seasons." Ding Wei said through gritted teeth.

"What did you say?" Everyone in the hall outside Kou Zhun looked at Ding Wei, and even the soldiers at the door pricked their ears.

"That's right." Kou Zhun said with a sigh, "So, three floors, alas~~"

Several people in the hall have read the records, and the grain output on the third floor is exchanged for seeds. When they saw it, they thought it was the child Kuangyan who did not know the heights of the sky, but they did not expect that he was the frog at the bottom of the well.

There was silence in the hall for a while, only Ding Wei was still looking at the other seeds.

"Zhang Zagu, corn, more than 400 kilograms per mu."

"Hybrid wheat yields 600 kilograms per mu."

Ding Wei said that every time he recited a seed, everyone felt a little bit of heartache, and [-]% of the output was replaced by a seed. It was so distressing that everyone was about to cry.

"Lazy rice?" Ding Wei read the last seed. "You don't need to sow or transplant rice every year. You only need to plant once and you can harvest for many years. The yield is 600 kilograms per mu?"

"It's all good seeds. This lazy rice needs more, but I can't give it [-]%, at most [-]%." Wang Dan said, "Try it! It should be possible. He wants grain, we want to plant it, let's talk."

"Everyone, it's not over yet!" Ding Wei looked at the other folders, "Vegetable seeds, all kinds, all kinds of seeds, the yield per mu is very high, from the lowest few hundred kilograms to the highest tens of thousands Kilograms, these seeds are also wanted."

"The yield per mu is ten thousand catties. It's really amazing."

"And what about potatoes and sweet potatoes? Planted in the northwest, with a yield of tens of thousands of kilograms per mu, it can replace the staple food!"

Ding Wei looked at it slowly, and at the end, "Imperial bamboo grass, the emperor in the grass?"

"What's the use? Oh? To feed cattle, sheep, poultry, and fish?"

Ding Wei looked back at the people in the hall and said, "We must have these seeds, but we can't give [-]% of the food, at most [-]%. If you want any more, let him buy it."

"Isn't he going to be a big grain merchant, then let him buy it with money and ask for their money." Ding said.

"Why, they have to use their money again." Zhao Heng asked: "I don't understand."

"He wants us to produce grain for them, it should not only be the output, but also something else." Ding Wei did not answer Zhao Heng's words, but looked at several other folders, which said, "Large-scale farming technology, Large-scale cattle and sheep farming technology, poultry farming technology, freshwater fish farming technology, unfortunately these folders are all empty.

"Look, the large-scale livestock and poultry breeding technology, if we have these technologies, the people of the country can eat meat every day? That is the real prosperous world!" Ding said with emotion.

"Eat meat? What meat, is it mutton?" Zhao Heng asked cheerfully, "Can you raise sheep in the Central Plains?"

The emperors of Zhao and Song Dynasty liked to eat mutton very much. This is because of the ancestor's teaching. In the palace, there is a saying that the imperial chefs only use mutton.Legend has it that the mutton steamed bun was invented by Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of Song Dynasty, when he was in despair.According to records, the first dish of Song Taizu's banquet for Qian Chu, the monarch of Wuyue Kingdom, was "spined scorpion", which was made of mutton.

According to historical records, one day, Zhao Kuangyin sat up suddenly in the middle of the night, neither sleeping nor speaking. It turned out that he really wanted to eat lamb liver soup, but he was hesitant.The servants on the left and right looked blank and said, "If you have anything, just tell us, and we will do it!" Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and thought, and finally replied: "I don't say it, if I say it, a sheep must be killed by you every day. Die!" Of course, there is also a saying that Zhao Kuangyin is a pig, so he not only does not eat pork, but also treats pigs as pets and keeps them often.This ancestral family rule has been strictly followed since Taizong, and subsequent emperors did not eat pork, which lasted until the Xining period.Anyway, Zhao Kuangyin passed down the hobby of eating sheep to his descendants.

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, the imperial chef slaughtered 350 sheep every day, and during the reign of Emperor Renzong, 280 sheep were slaughtered every day. This is recorded in historical records.

Come to think of it, these hundreds are just the daily amount.

Although the Song royal family loved sheep so much, there were not many places where sheep were produced in the Song Dynasty, and they mainly relied on imports.However, the Liao state also stipulated that sheep are not allowed to leave the country, so they can only carry out national trade.During Song Renzong and Yingzong's time, the court bought tens of thousands of Khitan sheep from "Hebei Juchang." How much is this, all of them are high-priced sheep.

Therefore, Zhao Heng's first reaction when he heard about the large-scale livestock farming was that he could raise sheep.

Therefore, it is said that the first driving force of Chinese people from ancient times to the present is to eat. Think about the experience of the first person who cultivated the dog's tail grass into millet?What happened to the first person to drink milk?
