History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

Chapter 37 The Father of Rice
Ever since Zhang Yanxi introduced potatoes in the live broadcast room, Liu Che and Wei Qing beside him have been in a state of shock. They thought that he got the wheat with a yield of eight shi per mu, which was already an extra joy. Unexpectedly, he could still meet his mu How lucky is he to produce potatoes as high as 66 shi?How lucky?
Look carefully at this lump, is he ugly?Not ugly at all, but too beautiful.

With such grains, why worry that the Xiongnu will not be wiped out?Why worry that the world is not happy?

But what Miss Zhang said next made the heart of the group of people who got the potatoes rise to their throats.

"However, this potato also has disadvantages."

"The potatoes need to be germinated and cut into small pieces for planting, and germinated potatoes are poisonous, so the germinated potatoes cannot be eaten, and the land where potatoes are grown cannot be used in the second year, including planting other High-quality vegetables need to be cultivated for a year before you can grow anything else.”

Cao Cao and the others breathed a sigh of relief. It’s okay, but they were scared to death. They thought there were some disadvantages. The dynasties didn’t have many things, but they had a lot of land. The problem mentioned by this girl is not a problem, but sprouted potatoes I can't eat it, and this will still be announced.

Qin Shihuang watched the discussion of this group of people. He was also shocked. He saw another kind of rice seeds in his hand. He was a little disappointed. Why didn't he get potatoes? With the yield of potatoes, why worry about the Qin Dynasty still eating rice husks? food.

Zhang Yanxi answered a few more questions, and a few more drew soybeans, mung beans, various other varieties of corn, wheat, and improved varieties of rice.

"Didn't everyone get hybrid rice?" Zhang Yanxi asked in doubt. Her uncle Yuan's hybrid rice didn't appear in the blind box?Shouldn't it?
Qin Shihuang, who was lost with rice seeds, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was about to ask, were excited. Could it be that the yield of rice per mu is higher than that of potatoes?

Qin Shihuang: Ms. Zhang, I have this hybrid rice in my hand. I don’t know the yield per mu?

"Congratulations to Your Majesty Shihuang. This hybrid rice is a rice variety developed by Grandpa Yuan, the national treasure of our country of flowers, which took several years to develop."

"The so-called hybrid rice is to choose two rice varieties that have certain genetic differences and can complement each other in their excellent traits for hybridization. The leaf area coefficient of hybrid rice is larger than that of conventional rice, with more panicles and better photosynthesis. Stronger, naturally more organic matter will be produced, and the rice yield will be greatly improved."

"At a time when the world's population is exploding, the successful research on hybrid rice has solved the problems of population famine and food shortage and fed at least one-fifth of the world's population. This is a milestone in my country's science and technology, Grandpa Yuan I am even known as the "Father of Hybridization."

Zhang Yanxi passionately introduced the significance of hybrid rice to future generations of flower growers. As a person who has made great contributions to the country, who can not worship it? Unlike Zhang Yanxi's excitement, people from all dynasties were excited when they heard it. I am also a little confused. The hybrid rice mentioned by Ms. Qiao has fed at least one-fifth of the world's population. How many people is that?
Qin Shihuang: Ms. Zhang doesn't know how many people are one-fifth of the flower-growing country?
When Zhang Yanxi heard it, he patted his head: "Look at my memory, I forgot to tell everyone that there was no concept of the whole world in ancient times."

I saw Zhang Yanxi, turned on the computer, and found a map of the world, "This sphere is where we live now. We call it the Earth. The long river of history was intervened. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing as an emperor."

Emperor Qin Shihuang:……

Liu Che: ...

Kangxi: There is no emperor!Then I am clear!
Zhu Yuanzhang: It seems that great changes have taken place in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, but without the emperor, wouldn't the country be in chaos?

"From the end of the Qing Dynasty, there have indeed been too many wars in later generations. Our country has also buried many heroes of our ancestors. The process is too tragic. We will tell you later that the century-old war has led to the current flower-growing country and this earth. These more than 200 countries."

"Where we live now, there is no emperor."

"Our country's land area is only 960 million kilometers, and the ocean area is as much as 430 million square kilometers. However, the flower-growing country is not the largest. The largest is Russia, which has a land area of ​​about 1703 square kilometers. These countries add up to almost 80 One-fifth of the population is almost 16 billion.”

This hybrid rice is so terrifying. Qin Shihuang took a deep breath. The descendants have reached such a large number. They are indeed the descendants of our Great Qin Kingdom.

Liu Che: I am jealous of my real name!

Li Shimin: Why didn't I get one?

Cao Cao: The potatoes in my hand are not fragrant.

They marveled at the large population of the later countries, and the hybrid rice that could feed billions of people, and were shocked that the people of this later generation actually had such talent and were so powerful.

Zhao Kuangyin beat his chest angrily. It was in vain that Song Dynasty was so rich and had snatched so many blind boxes but none of them were hybrid rice.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Shihuang said three times in surprise. Just now he was disappointed that he had just snatched rice seeds. Now he just wants to dance his sword happily, and said our His Majesty Shihuang picked up the sword They danced outside the palace, expressing their joy.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid to give way too much, "Come here, invite the ministers to have an audience, and have a big banquet tonight to celebrate my Da Ming's acquisition of this divine seed."

"Hybrid rice is most suitable for planting in places with sufficient sunshine and precipitation, that is, the southern area is most suitable. If it is planted in the north, the yield is low and it is ripe once a year, but if it is planted in the south, not only the yield per mu will be higher, but also It can reach two or even three crops a year."

This news is a huge shock to the emperors of all planes. Who doesn’t like to eat rice?But they didn't get it, so they could only look at Qin Shihuang's barrage with jealous eyes.

Liu Xiu, who has never said a word until now, looked at the hybrid rice seeds on his table, his eyes lit up. The yield per mu is so high. If it is planted in the south, it may reach two or even two crops a year. Three cooked!Liu Xiu rubbed her chin, looked at the rice seeds and kept smiling silly.

Liu Xiu: Haha!I got it!I got it!
Zhu Yuanzhang: ...

Zhu Di: This person's luck is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"But there is one thing. This hybrid rice seed cannot be saved because it is a cross between two high-quality rice species. The quality of the seeds in the next generation will be reduced a lot, and the yield may not be as high as that of ordinary rice seeds. This hybrid rice can only be produced every year. nourish."

"Although we can't save the seeds, this kind of season can also surpass the yield of all dynasties. Those dynasties who want to get seeds should plant well."
