Ask the Ministry of Industry to send the ore to the kiln outside the city and crush it, and make an appointment the next day, Ren Baqian will go to Tian Musi to find Ge Yihong, how to germinate sweet potatoes, how to plant them, and what is the best place to plant them Give these things to him.
Now they have tried the yield and taste of sweet potatoes, so they don't have any doubts about this new product. Ren Baqian just needs to tell them the information and let them write it down. Ren Baqian doesn't need to care about other things. They will do it naturally.
Moreover, even if all the sweet potatoes germinate now, they can only be planted on a hundred acres of land. As the generations are planted and cultivated, and a small amount is put on the market, ordinary people in Dayao will naturally gradually accept it, and wait for the production of sweet potatoes to increase. Then take out the sweet potato wine and sweet potato vermicelli.
There are still some points that need attention. For example, sweet potatoes can only be cultivated once a year on the same land, and then other crops must be planted. For example, eating too many sweet potatoes can cause heartburn.
At the same time, Ren Baqian also brought two other crops, one is potatoes, the yield is lower than that of sweet potatoes, about two to three thousand catties per mu. The other is the seeds of pumpkins, and the yield per mu is about the same as that of potatoes.
These two kinds and sweet potatoes have a characteristic, that is, the starch content is very high, and they can be used as vegetables or rice, and the yield is not low. It is excellent as a non-staple food.
It can be said that if these three things are taken out, Dayao will no longer have to worry about food shortages in a few years, and even in ten years, the food production of several other countries will increase greatly. After all, several countries are close to each other, and these few crops can easily be lost to other countries.
In Ren Baqian's view, the yield of two to three thousand catties per mu is not an amazing value, but when Ge Yihong heard him say that these two kinds of crops can yield two to three thousand catties per mu, he opened his mouth wide and remained silent for a long time, then looked up to the sky and laughed, and directly The ashes on the beams of the house were shaken off and fell on one end of the two.
A few days ago, if he said that the grain yield per mu was several thousand catties, he would have laughed three times and had the speaker kicked out, which is simply a fantasy. But after seeing sweet potatoes dug out of the ground and weighing more than 6,000 catties, he would pay enough attention to anything Ren Baqian took out.
"Bah..." Ren Baqian kept patting ashes from his head and face, just now his head and face were really covered, but Ge Yihong, the culprit, came to the door in a blink of an eye, leaving him to dig from the soil alone. Like coming out.
After dusting most of the dust off his body, Ren Baqian didn't look much better. He stared at Ge Yihong angrily. Although the other party was from the third rank and he was only from the fifth rank, he really didn't have any sense of fear.
There is a woman standing behind him.
It is said that there is a shadow of a woman behind every successful man, Ren Baqian feels that there is nothing wrong with this, even though he is not yet successful, there is also a shadow behind him.
Ge Yihong didn't care either, his face remained unchanged. Ren Baqian kept staring there, as if he didn't see it, but instead asked Ren Baqian how to grow potatoes and pumpkins, and what he should pay attention to.
Although Ren Baqian was angry, he still had to finish the matter, otherwise he would have to run back.
The main points and precautions for planting potatoes and pumpkins are explained again. One of the most important points is that Dayao often eats mutton, and pumpkins cannot be eaten with mutton at the same time.
After all this was said, Ren Baqian didn't stay for a moment, and left quickly.
"Ren Fucheng, why don't you come to my Tian Musi? It just so happens that there is still a lack of young ministers, and Ren Fucheng can't be more suitable to sit in this position." Ge Yihong still wanted to persuade Ren Baqian, and there was a man dressed from four at the door. The official in official uniform looked at him resentfully, like an abandoned widow.
"Not interested, leave." Ren Baqian hurriedly left without saying a word, he still felt that there was dirt in his mouth.
"My lord!" After Ren Baqian left, Tian Musi Shaoqing was still looking at Ge Yihong with resentment.
"Hey, if he can come to Tian Musi, I can step down and hand over to you." Ge Yihong didn't show any shame on his face, instead he said earnestly and kindly to Shaoqing Tian Musi.
Tian Musi Shaoqing rolled his eyes, as if you can decide.
In this position, it is not just a recommendation from you.
Ren Baqian came out of the palace clean in the morning, returned to the palace in disgrace in the afternoon, rushed to take a bath, and went to Qingxin Hall to learn calligraphy.
Stay in the room at night and go for a stroll in the yard. Look up at the two moons in the sky, one big and one small. The big one is bigger than the earth, and the color is slightly reddish. You can see a small dot in the middle.
"What's there?" Ren Baqian was puzzled.
I didn't notice it when I looked up occasionally before, but today I found the small spot when I took a closer look. I hurried into the house to get a telescope to look again. The ten-fold telescope can see it more or less clearly.
Holding up the telescope and looking up, it is indeed a lot clearer, and the moon is also a lot bigger. Look carefully for the point you just saw, which is an oval shape on the moon. I didn't think it before, but now I use a telescope to look at it, as if there is an eye there, which makes him feel a little weird, as if someone is watching him.
But Ren Baqian also knew that this was impossible, probably some kind of strange landform.
If there is a chance, I should get an astronomical telescope to see what the moon in this world looks like.
Of course, this idea was just a whim, and I had to forget about it the next morning.
Sitting on a stone bench in the garden, Ren Baqian took out the walkie-talkie and called the Empress. After a while, she heard a noise, the other party connected to the intercom, but the Empress did not speak but waited for him to speak.
"Your Majesty... I see how beautiful the moonlight is tonight, so I want to tell Your Majesty." Ren Baqian thought about it for a long time before coming up with such a sentence. If you want to talk about his current behavior, it is similar to that of elementary school students who like girls at the front desk secretly pulling people's braids, but now it has become harassment by walkie-talkies at night. After all, he's still too busy right now.
After all, you can watch movies and surf the Internet on Earth, but there is nothing to do in this world, and you don’t want to practice at this time, so you just use the walkie-talkie to chat.
After he finished speaking, he was still waiting for the empress to reply, when he realized that the other side had directly switched off the intercom.
Ren Baqian looked bored, and finally turned to look up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle: "Life!"
After standing in the yard for a while, he turned and went back to the house to practice.
And on the roof of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Empress was lying on it, holding a jug of wine in one hand and pouring it into her mouth from time to time, looking at the two round moons in the sky, one big and one small, her face was slightly red, as if she was drunk from alcohol, His eyes were slightly blurred.
"What is Your Majesty looking at?" Qing Yuan and Hong Luan looked up at the roof at a forty-five-degree angle below.
"I don't know, His Majesty has become more and more strange recently."
"However, His Majesty is seldom angry recently." Qing Yuan's words made Hong Luan nod along, and His Majesty has not been so cold recently, and sometimes he would show a smile when he was there. Such a change made them feel very happy .
"Crack" half a piece of tile directly hit the ground near the two of them, startling them, they quickly covered their mouths and didn't speak. Glancing at each other, both of them rolled their eyes.
The empress looked at the moon on the roof for a long time, but she couldn't see how beautiful the moonlight was, but she was not in a bad mood. There was a warm feeling, and at the same time, something surged in her heart.
Let her like it very much.
When this feeling came up, she suddenly felt that the moonlight seemed really good.
