What about the glass shed? They had heard from the prince earlier that when a transparent glass was made, they would replace all the glazed greenhouses with glass ones. They heard that this way the lighting would be better and the crops would grow better.
They have cultivated the land for generations, and they themselves have faced the loess with their backs to the sky all their lives. Not only are they proficient in the things in the field, but they also know the growth habits of the crops, such as what weather they planted, when the seedlings emerged, and when they were watered. Water fertilization, they all do it according to their own judgment.
But after arriving here, I realized that this is also a university question. What temperature, humidity, lighting, pollination, it is simply a fantasy from the mouth of the prince. What do these things have to do with farming
The prince has lived in the palace since he was a child, maybe he can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and weeds? It's not too ridiculous for a person who has never farmed the land to dictate in front of these old farmers. What about the prince? It is impossible for the emperor Lao Tzu to make old farmers change their farming methods, right
The lord can't take farming as a trifling matter. Food is the most important thing for the people. No food can be grown in the land. It's useless to say anything. On the issue of farming, the few of them reached an agreement and must not compromise.
However, when things developed, they were deeply slapped in the face. Facts have proved that as long as the temperature and humidity are suitable, good crops can be grown even if the weather is reversed. Now they hope that the prince can explain a few more words about photosynthesis, fertilizer trace elements, and grafting techniques. They are all things they have never heard of. It seems like a fantasy, but it makes people feel very reasonable.
They no longer dare to underestimate the prince. The prince is a man of great wisdom, sent by heaven to save the people of Liangzhou. No matter what, they just need to do what the prince said.
"My lord summoned me to come here this time. I don't know what it is?" Elder Liu asked.
Ming Yu beckoned to them, signaling them to go over. How many people don't know, so they got together. I saw a section of silk cloth with a few golden grains placed on it. What is this? They didn't know anyone, they looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I don't know what this is?" Elder Liu asked suspiciously.
Ming Yu was delighted and looked at these few seeds. The eyes are full of cherishment and love. "This is corn, also known as maize. It has high nutritional value and can be used as a staple food like wheat. It also has a particularly good yield, is resistant to drought and cold, and has a high survival rate. With it, the people of Liangzhou don't have to go hungry. .”
Several old farmers looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't know there was such a good thing. If it is true what the prince said, then the people of Liangzhou will really have a good life.
The prince is really knowledgeable and talented. He seems to know more about crop seeds than these old farmers, just like watermelon seeds, which are obviously something that has never appeared in Dayan Kingdom. But the prince knows it, not only does he know it, but he also knows how to plant it. He knows the growth habit of this watermelon, as if he knew it from birth.
The thing called corn that appears here is like a watermelon. No one in the Great Yan Kingdom knows about it, but the prince knows it very well. I don't know where the corn came from? The prince is really capable of what people can't do.
"Corn? Is this really what the prince said? It can be used as staple food, easy to survive, and has a high yield?" Elder Liu exclaimed.
Ming Yu smiled, it is useless to say anything now, true knowledge comes from practice. As long as they are planted and everyone can see them with their own eyes, they will know that what he said is true or false.
"If this is the case, the people of Liangzhou will be blessed." Mr. Liu rubbed his rough hands full of calluses, full of pride in his heart, they must plant this corn to see if it is true as the prince said, and see Whether this thing really makes the people not suffer from hunger. In short, having a new food crop is a great thing for poor people like them.
Ming Yu nodded, wrapped the seeds, and solemnly handed them to Mr. Liu, "This thing is not easy to come by, it was passed from far away in the west, and this king has worked so hard to get such a dozen seeds. They are planted, otherwise, if you miss this village, there will be no store, and you should all understand the importance of these seeds."
Everyone's heart trembled, they had never seen the prince value something so much, and gave such a serious order, which shows that this thing is indeed very important in the prince's mind.
Mr. Liu took it carefully. There are only a dozen seeds in his hands, but it seems to be extremely heavy. This is the prince's entrustment. At this time, they didn't know that what the prince entrusted was not just a few small seeds, but the livelihood of the entire Liangzhou.

62. Chapter 62
"My lord, I will do my best, but I have never seen this corn, let alone planted it..." Mr. Liu looked at Ming Yu with hope in his eyes. Habits are also well known.
They have planted the land for most of their lives, and they are not as good as the prince who has not planted the land in a day. Apart from occasionally sighing and sighing about the talent of the prince, they can only humbly ask for advice and learn.
"Ah! Actually, this king is only talking about it on paper, and has never planted it himself." Ming Yu was a little embarrassed. He had only seen farmers planting in later generations, so he probably knew the process.
Mr. Liu and the others trusted him so much, how could the prince go to the field himself, but even so, wouldn't the prince still grow the watermelon that he had never grown before? Now they have left a lot of watermelon seeds, and the next batch has been planted. If this continues, it won't take long for the people of Liangzhou to start planting.
Faced with the hopeful gazes of several people, Ming Yu was still a little stressed, nodded and said: "I will sort out the planting conditions and growth habits of corn for you, and you only need to plant according to your own experience in farming. "
In later generations, corn has been planted for hundreds of years anyway. When it was first introduced, wasn’t it also planted by great farmers and spread it? There's no reason it can't work here, not to mention that he still knows the specific planting conditions.
Only then did they feel relieved, promised to plant it, and then left.
The goods brought back from the Western Regions went all the way to the capital, Ming Yu has already begun to look forward to the influence of this batch of goods. Although things are rare and expensive, people must be able to recognize the goods. He knows the preciousness of the goods, but the people in the capital don't know it. If no one appreciates the goods and the goods cannot be sold, then it will be troublesome.
Ming Yu was worried and looking forward to it, his heart seemed to be hung with seventy or eighty buckets of water, he was restless and restless, and couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row. Seeing this, Qingping felt anxious, and tried to persuade her to no avail, but it was Xie Yixiu who stood up and dragged Ming Yu to learn how to ride a horse, which made him gradually forget about it.
Well, for a long time, although Ming Yu wanted to learn how to ride a horse, but since the first time he was hurt by riding a horse, he was recuperating, and then he was busy dealing with Song Qingfu's mess. Later, the weather got colder and colder, and he didn't want to go out because of the cold. In addition, General Xie delayed the horse riding because he was guarding against the people from Shichong and Guanyi on the border. Therefore, there has been no progress in Ming Yu's learning to ride a horse for several months. Now that spring is warm and flowers are blooming, isn't it a good time for horseback riding
In this way, Ming Yu's anxious state of mind also calmed down, and she no longer thought about sending the goods to the capital, which made her feel a lot easier. After learning for a few days, I finally got a decent ride and was able to trot on horseback.
In the capital, Xu Xi, the crown prince's companion, counted and took over dozens of carts of goods sent to the capital, and there was also a letter sent by Ming Yu.
In the womb of the crown prince, after reading Ming Yu's letter, Prince Ming Ye handed the letter to Xu Xi, "This is the marketing and sales plan written by the fourteenth brother. You can read it first. If it is feasible, you can follow it." Let's do it."
The things Ming Yu entrusted, as a prince, he was studying government affairs every day, and he was too late to handle official affairs. It was impossible to personally handle the affairs for Ming Yu, so he had to leave it to his confidants.
Xu Xi studied with him since he was a child. The two looked like masters and servants, but they looked like brothers. From childhood to adulthood, Ming Ye trusted Xu Xi the most.
Xu Xi was smart since he was a child, and the city government was very scheming, and he had helped the prince solve several crises, so Ming Ye never hid anything from him.
The last time Ming Yu wrote a letter asking the prince to help facilitate the caravan in the Western Regions, it was Xu Xi who advised Ming Ye on the sidelines, which made Ming Ye determined to persuade the emperor on Ming Yu's side.
Xu Xi was not cautious in front of Ming Ye, the crown prince handed him the letter, and he took it directly without saying a word. In fact, he was also very curious about the fourteenth prince, oh, no, it should be called Duan Wang, what exactly is the marketing plan
The fourteenth prince used to be in the palace, not showing the mountains and not showing the water, acting stupid like a transparent person. But since falling into the water a few years ago, the whole person seems to have changed. According to the imperial physician, it was because of the fright that his mind had changed, coupled with the fact that he had been taking medication for these years, the fourteenth prince's dementia had slowly improved. this was suddenly
