Tang's dining table

Cotton seedlings began to grow in the fields, but they were not very neatly. So farmers began to thin out seedlings from areas where cotton seedlings were densely populated and replenish seedlings in areas where cotton seedlings did not grow.

Ever since the cotton seedlings grew, Yun Chu and Liu Rengui had to inspect the cotton fields every few days.

Judging from the current growth of cotton, the growth of cotton seedlings in saline-alkali land cannot be compared with that of cotton seedlings in irrigated fields.

This was originally nonsense, but a doctor of agriculture from Sinong Temple told Yunchu and Liu Rengui that the root system of cotton seedlings in saline-alkali land is generally deeper than that of cotton seedlings in irrigated fields. That is to say , the vitality of cotton seedlings in saline-alkali land seems to be more vigorous.

It sounds like a stupid truth, but when the doctor of agriculture dug up several cotton seedlings and compared them in front of Yun Chu and Liu Rengui, the two of them had to admit that what they said was right.

"The seeds have mutated?"

Yun Chu was really a little confused.

"No one can tell clearly. Now we are worried about whether the cotton in the saline-alkali land can produce bolls. If it can produce cotton bolls, next year we should test the cotton seeds in the saline-alkali land in irrigated fields."

The doctor of agriculture looked very excited. If he could find a cotton seed that was high-yielding and resistant to salt and alkali, it wouldn't be a big deal for him, a ninth-level doctor of agriculture, to be promoted to three levels in a row.

"What is this?"

Yunchu asked the doctor of agriculture, pointing to something similar to cabbage in the saline-alkali land.

"This is a cabbage from the south of the Yangtze River. It didn't adapt well to the north, so I tried to cross it with turnips to see if I could make a cabbage suitable for growing in the north."

"Since it is an experiment, why plant it in saline-alkali soil?"

The doctor of agriculture looked at the few yellow and sparse cabbage plants in the ground and said: "I want to see if this thing will have the same reaction as cotton when planted in saline-alkali soil.

To be honest, crops grown at this time in places with harsh environments become more and more tenacious.

The more crops grow in fertile soil, the more they are content with the status quo. "

Yun Chu shook his head, thinking that the doctor of agriculture might have made a mistake. He could not impose human thoughts on vegetables.

The reason why many crops are resistant to severe cold and drought in the north is because there is no way. If there is a way, they would also like to live in a fertile place with abundant water. This doctor of agriculture has a really good idea of ​​hybridizing plants. However, the method is wrong.

Yun Chu didn't say anything to ask others to change their thinking. At this time, even if they were wrong, these mistakes were very valuable, even more important than the success itself.

Therefore, Yun Chu approved a hundred thousand scientific research funds for this doctor of agriculture on the spot. He was not required to produce any results immediately, but only asked him to continue doing what he wanted to do.

Because, just now, this doctor of agriculture proposed to cross apricots with plums, and peaches with pears.

Anyway, after Yun Chu's hundred thousand scientific research funds were released, this doctor of agriculture vowed to hybridize all the plants in the world.

The whole person looked very crazy.

Yun Chu had eaten plums and apricots before, and apples and pears. It was a basic operation to grow watermelons on pumpkins. It was not uncommon for Yun Chu to grow watermelons on winter melon vines. As for the cucumber vines, they were dozens of meters long. Yunchu has also seen the scene of industrialized production being formed over a long period of time.

Isn't it just a peach pear? What if it appears?

Therefore, when other agricultural doctors also asked for hybridization and needed a large amount of funding, Yun Chu did not favor one over the other. In one afternoon, he listened to the ideas of six agricultural doctors, and in this afternoon, he allocated Seven hundred dollars of scientific research funding was given out.

Liu Rengui couldn't stand Yun Chu's crazy money-spending behavior. He always felt that Yun Chu was messing around.

"You're just messing around without any purpose and it's a waste of money."

Liu Rengui really couldn't stand Yunchu's prodigal behavior, but he was spending Wannian County's national funds, so he had no position to criticize him.

Yun Chu said with a smile: "When our ancestors were eating raw meat and drinking blood, the ancestor who was the first to take raw meat and grill it on the flames generated after a lightning strike, did he know that meat would be more delicious when grilled?

When we endured wind and rain and hid in caves to live, did the ancestors who first learned from birds to build nests in trees know that everyone would live in houses in the future?

Even Shen Nong didn't know which plants were edible and which ones were poisonous. Didn't he only know after tasting them?

Before there is any result, I will not laugh at anyone’s dream, even if it is a failed dream. As long as I have the strength, I will support it.

Isn't it just seven hundred dollars? It's still worth selling a few hopes to Wannian County. "

Liu Rengui pointed at the dozens of cabbage seedlings that Yunchu brought back and said, "What do you plan to make of this thing to consider it a success?"

Yun Chu picked up a thin cabbage seedling and said, "Your Majesty, think about it, what would happen if this thing could grow to weigh more than ten kilograms?"

Liu Rengui smiled hoarsely and said, "You really dare to think about it."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "First you have to dare to think, and then you dare to do. Dare to think and dare to do are one and the same and inseparable."

Liu Rengui nodded, feeling that what Yun Chu said was somewhat reasonable, so he said to Yun Chu.

"Six days ago, when I was having a debate with His Majesty, I proposed that you should be officially promoted to the position of magistrate of Wannian County. Do you know what Your Majesty said?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It must mean that I am young and have little knowledge, and I am not qualified to take on big responsibilities."

Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that every royal official position is extremely noble. If you want to get these official positions, you must give corresponding merit in exchange. There is no other way.

In other words, Your Majesty has reserved the position of magistrate of Wannian County for you, but if you want it, you must give Your Majesty the merit that matches this official position. "

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is talking about cotton!"

Liu Rengui nodded and said: "What you said is not wrong at all. It is cotton. As long as the cotton harvest can be as good as expected this year, then your position as the magistrate of Wannian County will be secure.

Tsk tsk, the nineteen-year-old magistrate of Wupinjing County is unprecedented in our Tang Dynasty. "

Yun Chu cupped his hands towards Liu Rengui and said, "The only reason why I want power is to do more things."

Liu Rengui nodded and said, "I believe it."

Yun Chu opened his arms, as if to embrace the majestic Chang'an City not far away.

"One day, I will definitely let the world see a resplendent and splendid Chang'an City!"

Liu Rengui looked at the high-spirited Yun Chu with a smile, and after he was satisfied, he said to him: "I will tell you a way to speed up the promotion."

Yunchu looked at Liu Rengui: "Goguryeo?"

Liu Rengui said in surprise: "How did you know?"

Yun Chu hugged his belly and laughed: "Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and the other heroes who destroyed Ashina Helu have gone straight from the Western Regions to the East China Sea.

Duke Ying also invited me to join the campaign against Goguryeo, but I have already declined. I will not go anywhere and will stay in Chang'an. "

Liu Rengui sighed and said: "No one can stay in one place as an official all his life, and the court laws do not allow such a situation."

Yunchu laughed and said: "Then, I would rather not be promoted in this life, and it is not impossible to be the magistrate of Wannian County for the rest of my life."

Liu Rengui: "Why are you so obsessed with Chang'an?"

Yun Chu narrowed his eyes and pointed at Chang'an City in front of him and said, "Did you know that three years ago I had a nightmare. In that dream, Chang'an City fell, not just once, but six times.

Every time it fell, I saw countless killings, countless misery, and flames rising to the sky in this city.

The gorgeous pavilions, exquisite houses, peerless articles, and the glory of being Tang people that we worked so hard to build were all reduced to ashes in the flames of war, and this kind of demonic fire from hell burned six times.

County Lord, after Chang'an City has experienced six tribulations, what do you think is left? "

Liu Rengui shook his head and said: "With the current prosperity of our Tang Dynasty, I can't imagine that Chang'an will suffer from war.

You have gone crazy. "

Yun Chu chuckled and said, "Just think that I've gone crazy."

Walking into Chang'an City from outside Chang'an City, the world was immediately divided into two by the city wall.

Just above the city gate where Yunchu and Liu Rengui entered, there was a wooden cage hanging with a human head inside.

On the wall of the city wall, there was a portrait of a prisoner with a pockmarked face. After reading the document, he discovered that the head in the cage at the top of the city was actually that of the gangster Xu Mazi.

Yun Chu smiled and said to Liu Rengui: "Jin Wuwei is indeed amazing. He finally solved the case."

Liu Rengui snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for Lun Qinling, the son of the Prime Minister of Tubo, who was about to arrive in Chang'an, I would never have allowed the Jinwu Guards to do this dirty deed."

Yunchu laughed and said: "It's actually a good thing to do this. Xu Dazi robbed the Tibetan people in Qinghaitou, which is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty."

Liu Rengui let out a long sigh and said, "The marriage between Tubo and Tang Dynasty because of Princess Wencheng is probably going to end here."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I have never believed that a woman's crotch can maintain the relationship between two countries and two forces.

Even if it is maintained, it is just that the two countries are testing each other and fearing each other. Once the strength changes, sending a thousand women over will be in vain. "

As he spoke, Yun Chu looked up at the human head in the cage and felt that his neck was constantly itching.

Seriously, it should have your own head in it.
