Mr. Wu is not a dead-study person. Before he was admitted to Jinshi, he had been working with the tenants in his family to take care of the paddy fields at home. At the age of forty, he set a goal for himself. If he failed the exam again, he would give up the scientific research completely and focus on increasing rice production. When he was an official below, he also paid great attention to agricultural production. He often went to the countryside to eat and live with the old farmers, and accumulated rich planting experience. Because of this, the Jinling Experimental Field was handed over to him, and his official position was promoted two levels.
Seeing the planting techniques Xiaocao gave him, he was fascinated, and applauded when he saw the key points. Many of the confusions he encountered in the past have been solved with this handbook from the imperial envoy. It's no wonder that the emperor puts so much emphasis on a female class, she really has something extraordinary! Your majesty really has a discerning eye! !
If Yu Xiaocao knew that Lord Wu praised her so much, she would be very embarrassed. What she wrote is just some planting experience that she recalled sporadically in her previous life. She's just a dwarf standing on the shoulders of giants! How can it be so great
After Xiaocao came to Jinling, in addition to tasting delicious food, most of her energy was put on "hybrid rice". You must know that the output of super hybrid rice exceeded 1,500 kilograms in the previous life! Even if the rice planted with Lingshi water is only more than 600 catties at present!
It is said that the research of Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, started with the discovery of a natural hybrid rice. Yu Xiaocao decided to find such a natural hybrid rice first in order to deceive others. Then research in this direction.
According to Xiaocao's proposal, the emperor has ordered Jiangnan to start trying to grow double-cropping rice. Therefore, some of the experimental fields in Jinling were planted earlier. The people of Wuhan University were afraid that the low temperature in early spring would affect the breeding of seeds, but they did not expect that the rice seeds brought from the capital were growing well. However, for ordinary rice seeds, the germination rate and survival rate are average when raising seedlings.
Mr. Wu, who copied a copy of "Rice Planting Strategy" from the imperial envoy, simply took root in the experimental field and never returned home, so he got into the ranks of serving rice with all his heart. Not to mention, the rice grows better with the method given by the imperial envoy. When heading the ear, it is obvious that the ear of rice is twice as big as the ordinary rice, and it is much fuller. The growing season of these rice has also been shortened, and it is estimated that they can be harvested in June.
When the rice was earing, Yu Xiaocao came to the experimental field more often. In the past, I came here every three to five days to guide the work, but now I come here almost every other day. There are so many plants in the experimental field, it is impossible for her to check them one by one. However, she has a cheating tool, it would be a waste if she doesn't use it.
She asked the little butian stone to release its aura to sense the stronger ones among these young lives, and then let Lord Wu and his assistant record it. Among these rices, she really found a rice that "stands out from the crowd". It has an excellent plant type, large spikes and many grains. She carefully counted the number of rice grains, and there were as many as 200 grains, far more than the other ears of rice in the experimental field.
Well, let's take it as an opportunity to give the University of Wuhan and the others a research direction. Hybrid rice, the emphasis is on "hybridization". In her previous life, Xiaocao was the little girl of the father of rice, fascinated by the principle of hybrid rice. However, she is a layman after all, and she has only learned some superficial knowledge.
She knew that in order to complete hybrid rice, there must be three types of rice species. One is without stamens, the other is ordinary rice, and the two kinds of rice are planted together at the same time to complete the hybrid. However, although this hybrid has a high yield, it can only last for one season, just like the rice seeds she planted with Lingshi water, and it will not be used next time. The rice seeds without stamens and the hybrid rice seeds must be used to continue breeding, and the offspring produced are hybrid rice.
In this way, there must be a breeding field, a breeding field. In the breeding field, only the rice species with degenerated stamens are bred. The breeding field specializes in breeding hybrid rice varieties for field planting.
After Yu Xiaocao found rice with degenerated stamens from the rice fields, she marked them one by one and reserved them for the next season's breeding field. After returning to the other hospital, she spent sleepless nights trying to sort out the breeding method of "hybrid rice" in her mind in as simple a language as possible, and prepared to hand it over to the University of Wuhan for him to take people to study. Speaking of farming, her half bottle of vinegar is really not as good as that of Mr. Wu, who has been immersed in the farmland for decades.
His Royal Highness Xu Wang, who was forgotten by the hard-working daughter-in-law, expressed that he was very hurt. Okay, what about the two traveling at public expense? How about trying the delicacies in Jinling and surrounding areas together? As agreed, how about walking around the south of the Yangtze River and experiencing the beauty of "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below"? In the dead of night, Zhu Junyang looked at the back of the concubine's selfless work, biting a small handkerchief and her face full of cows! Who asked him to marry a workaholic little daughter-in-law
And that guy Su Ran, once he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he ran away without a trace. It is said that he walked all the famous rivers and mountains around Jinling. He also came back from time to time to refresh his sense of existence, and showed him what he saw and what he ate. The most hateful thing was that the snacks he brought back successfully bought off his wife's stomach. Every day when I don't talk about work in front of him, I just want to praise Mr. Su so much. I'm so mad, who is her husband
When his daughter-in-law ate the persimmons brought back by that stinky guy Su Ran, and talked about that guy again, Zhu Junyang "is it tolerable or unbearable!" She realized how "cruel" a jealous old man, especially a jealous man who has been dry for a long time, is! ! Well, in fact, you are looking for all excuses to "seek benefits" for yourself!
The next day, Yu Xiaocao, who got up at noon, took her finally completed "Hybrid Rice Breeding Strategy" and found Master Wu, and spent half a day explaining the principles to him. Then he unloaded the burden and went to appease the man who had been neglected for a long time.
As if the master of Wu had found a treasure, in July, the breeding fields and hybrid fields were messed up. At this time, the imperial envoy and her husband-in-law had already left Jinling and came to the border of Yangzhou, eating sweet lotus pods, and rafting in the Slender West Lake to pick lotus with a black awning boat!
In July, the first season of rice in the Jinling experimental field was harvested. The yield per mu reached 800 catties, which made the person in charge of Wu University burst into tears. In the past six months, he put almost all his energy in the test field. Sure enough, hard work paid off, and they also succeeded in growing high-yielding rice. The output exceeds last year's test field in Beijing. Congratulations!
Master Wu wanted to share this good news with the imperial envoy, but he didn't know where the imperial envoy was at this time. Maybe in Suzhou, maybe in Hangzhou, or further south... who knows!
The people of Wuhan University soon devoted their energy to the research of hybrid rice. The imperial envoy said that if he can grow hybrid rice, the yield will at least double that of the experimental field. What is the concept of doubling? That is to say, the yield per mu can reach more than 1,500 catties. God! Isn't he dreaming? Or is the imperial envoy just talking about a dream
No! How could he doubt the imperial envoy who is omnipotent in planting? Without her, the output of rice would be at most two to three hundred catties. In the past, if anyone said that rice could yield 800 catties per mu, Master Wu would definitely give him a face. But now, isn't it already realized? The imperial envoy said that the hybrid rice can exceed 1,500 catties, so it must be possible! If not, it means that he didn't work hard enough and failed to complete the important task entrusted by the imperial envoy! !
Master Wu, who is over 60 years old, has already become Yu Xiaocao's loyal fan! !
When the breeding fields and breeding fields had begun to take shape, Yu Xiaocao and his wife had traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River. On the way to play, they met by chance the "Zhiyuzhai" caravan that was going to the Yunnan-Myanmar border to purchase rough jadeite. Yu Xiaocao expressed her interest in the mining of rough jadeite. His Highness Xu Wang, who loves his wife without limit, would certainly not be willing to let his little wife down. So the couple went with the caravan to the southern tip of Yunnan Province.
Surrounded by mountains, there are dense forests everywhere, and the folk customs are sturdy. Fortunately, the caravans of Prince Xu's Mansion have already made a name for themselves in this generation. No matter the surrounding ethnic minorities or some leaders of the Burmese country, they dare not underestimate them. In addition, with the support of people from the Southwest Army, those who want to use their brains have to weigh it carefully!
After attending Xiaocao's wedding, Zhu Junxi and Han Xiaomu quickly got engaged, and then returned to the southwest border to guard. Yu Xiaocao and Zhu Junyang also specially stayed in Ruizhou Mansion where the frontier army was stationed for a day, visited General Han, and brought a lot of food to the second brother and the future second sister-in-law. Most of them were snacks, preserved fruits and jerky made by Yu Xiaocao himself, and a large basket was filled to the brim.
Han Xiaomut was very moved, hugging...the big basket full of food filled with tears, and reluctantly let go. Ever since she tasted Xiaocao's cooking skills in Beijing, this female general, who has been on the battlefield, has fallen in love with Xiaocao's cooking skills. Xiaocao's status in her heart has skyrocketed, even surpassing her fiancé Zhu Junxi. Zhu Junxi shook his head and sighed - there is a greedy wife in the family, there is nothing to do!
It has been more than three months since I returned to the southwest, and the food I brought back from the capital, even if I save money, has already been eaten up. Every time she eats the "pig food" in the army, Han Xiaomu misses Yu Xiaocao very much, and she is always on her mind. Zhu Junxi is jealous of his younger siblings!
Fortunately, when he left Beijing, the mother concubine prepared a lot of barbecue seasonings for him. He is not good at other skills, but he is good at grilling meat. Coupled with these secret seasonings, it conquered the stomach of the female general and pulled her heart back from her sister-in-law.
