Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 359... so old and cute!

Playing a rogue, isn't it forced by Li Erye and his wife?Coax the distressed stewards of various families back to ask for instructions, leaving a group of servants to do some work on digging ditches and repairing roads.Well, I believe that all the nobles will understand Jinyu's painstaking efforts. Even if Li Erye knew it, he would just laugh it off. Jinyu even used his own technology to subsidize the Agricultural College. Can Jinyu really make money by himself?
As for greenhouse vegetables, the three families of Qin, Cheng and Jin have grown them. They are in short supply in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month.Although Zheng and Lu also had this technology in the auction a while ago, Jinyu didn't say it was sold out at the time, so each family can resell it.The patent law is not sound, and there is no need to fight a lawsuit. In the end, it only depends on who sells the product at the lowest price... Rabbit has a very magical skill, which can quickly promote high-end and expensive things, and at the same time, it can also pull the price off a cliff. Low... what's even more amazing is that no matter where you go, no matter how harsh the environment is, you can fill up your planting skills, including but not limited to the north and south poles, space...

In view of the underdeveloped transportation and unsmooth information exchange at this time, Jinyu can also use the greenhouse vegetable technology to exchange some agricultural colleges for start-up support.Well, just the technology, excluding the improved seeds from the agricultural college.

After sending away all the stewards, Jin Yu called the steward of the original Huangzhuang to find him. With a pencil and white paper in his hand, he measured the land granted to the Agricultural College by Li Erye for the first time with his footsteps.

From the mouth of the steward, Jin Yu learned that the Agricultural College is located in Longqingfang, not the Xingqing Palace in Jin Yu's impression.Jin Yu figured it out as soon as he thought about it. Xingqing Palace was built by Li Longji when he was in power, and the name was probably changed to avoid him. Now his parents are still kids, maybe there is no need to change the name in the future?

This land is Huangzhuang in name, but it is actually a breeding base for royal exotic flowers and plants. The main job is to cultivate flowers and plants, and use the remaining land to grow food.Of course, the area allocated to the Agricultural College does not include the flower and grass field.Even so, it took Jin Yu an entire afternoon to measure the land. His feet hurt from walking, but the harvest was not small. The size of each land, the height of the terrain, and whether it was convenient for irrigation were all recorded on the paper. Based on the records, the map was drawn.

In the study, Jin Yu sorted out the work to be done to prepare for the Agricultural College, and classified them according to the priority. There are so many things, it is much more difficult than opening a workshop!In addition to building dormitories and repairing canals and roads, the most important thing now is probably to dig out good seeds with potential.According to Li Erye's request, grain seeds are the focus of improvement in the Agricultural College.Now the staple foods of the people are rice, wheat, and millet. Ordinary people like to hoard more millet, that is, rice. This stuff is durable and hungry, but it is troublesome to peel and has a slightly poor taste.Even if the taste of rice is poor, it is more popular than soybeans. After all, soy products have not been fully promoted at present. Boiled, steamed, fried, roasted, fried, no matter how you eat it, you will feel bloated.

When it comes to grain improvement, it involves the seed bank. Simply breeding around Xi'an is definitely not as good as selecting across the country, but this work is definitely not something that the current agricultural college can undertake. In the end, it will be done by Li Erye.Generally speaking, there are three main directions, one is plants with high yield, the other is plants with lodging resistance, and the third is plants with strong disease resistance.As for the proportion of starch, trace elements, and protein content, there is no need to think about it. Stable increase in production and filling the stomachs of the people are the primary goals of agricultural colleges in improving grain varieties.

According to Jin Yu's idea, breeding in the early Tang Dynasty was the responsibility of the imperial court.If you are lucky, you can get a result in three to five years. If you are not lucky, you can only get a conclusion of "this road is not working".The work of breeding must be able to withstand investment and loneliness.

Jinyu's thinking is very clear, and he is working hard in the direction of improving self-sustaining seeds. It's not that technologies such as hybrid rice and genetically modified are not advisable, but they are not suitable for this era.Firstly, the level cannot be reached; secondly, due to limited transportation conditions, even if hybrid rice is cultivated, it will be delayed for farming when it is transported from Chang'an to Lingnan; Pretend to be smart and secretly keep the seeds and plant them, and then there will be no harvest, and the family will be destroyed...

Self-reserved seeds perfectly avoid the above problems. Even if the unit area of ​​the improved seeds cultivated by the Agricultural College increases by 10%, even if it takes more than ten years to promote, it will still be a qualitative improvement in national strength!
The current main direction is the breeding of grains, rice, wheat, millet, and soybeans.Rice, wheat and millet can make the people full, and beans can make the people eat well!Soybeans are rich in protein and oil, which can be made into various easily absorbed soy products, and rich in unsaturated fatty acids can also be squeezed out. Soybeans have played an important role in improving the national physique!

After setting the goals, listing the cropping time of various crops, and tactfully requesting not to delay the planting of the next season, you can happily throw the headache to Mr. Li.Collecting seeds from all over the country is not a big project. There are so many exotic flowers and plants next to the Agricultural College, let alone a little food?
The next day, at the gate of the Agricultural College, Erye Li had a headache. Jin Yu didn't know, but he had a headache anyway.All the stewards of the honorable families have arrived, and they all expressed one meaning: we must support the Agricultural College, the entrance fee must be paid, and if you don’t accept it, you will die!However, the agricultural college was short of manpower at the beginning, so it did not apply for the project, and it was determined not to cause trouble to Baxian Hou...

A "beep the dog" is not enough to express Jin Yu's inner indignation at this time.He's meowing, isn't this group of nobles just selling Li Erye and himself as a favor?How much is the ticket?In the future, the Agricultural College will produce improved varieties, so why not choose among them for promotion after five years?Reporting a project requires a lot of investment, and it is very likely that there will be no output for many years. It is not worthwhile for Xungui. It is better to buy a ticket and be prepared to win. Even if you lose, you will not have much money, and you will not feel bad at all. .A bit of a venture capitalist?In exchange for the greatest benefit at the smallest cost, the abacus is clanging.

In stark contrast to this group of nobles is the attitude of the Qin and Cheng families, "Stinky boy, what else do you need? Report some to my old Cheng!" Cheng Yaojin was sitting on a steed, pointing his whip at the gang of stewards. They said, "Good dogs don't get in the way, if you don't report it, go away!"

Ouch, this bastard is so cute!Those stewards not only obediently avoided the sidelines, but also had to self-reflect without eyesight...

"Uncle Cheng is here to welcome you. Please forgive me for my mistakes." Jin Yu got up and greeted him with a smile.

"He! Tui!" Cheng Yaojin picked his nostrils, his movements and voice were disgusting. "Forget it, your father-in-law said to avoid suspicion, people are not available but the subject has to be reported, so I let my old Cheng bring the money."
