Chapter 104 Shortcuts

(If you have strong recommendations on the top, the number of updates will increase. There will be another update after twelve o'clock. There will be at least four updates tomorrow. Looking forward to the rewards, recommendations, and collection support from book friends!)

"Brother Changju, Minyue, this is not my random bragging, it is a real thing. I have seen it with my own eyes!" Chen Yi said very surely.

In later generations, the hybrid rice developed by Yuan Longping had a yield of over 1,000 kilograms per quarter, and the yield per year was much greater than that he said. However, the farming acres in later generations were slightly larger than in the Tang Dynasty, and the cultivation technology was completely incomparable, and the quality of seeds was incomparable. In the Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to achieve this yield even if it was intensively cultivated.

However, the failure to reach the yield in later generations does not mean that the current farming technology cannot increase grain yield. According to Chen Yi’s understanding of the farming technology in the Tang Dynasty, there is too much room for improvement. Taking fine crops, improving seeds, promoting rice planting, and promoting planting plans for more than a year, no matter which one can greatly increase the yield per mu of the field, or even several times the increase, which is enough to shock the government and the country!

Thinking of this, Chen Yi felt an inexplicable excitement. The backward farming technology in the Tang Dynasty was really a good thing for him, a time traveler. Because of his backward technology, no matter what method he took, he could significantly increase the yield of grain per mu. If it was because of his advice to greatly increase the yield of land per mu, it would be a great achievement. Now Li Zhi, Wu Zetian and their ministers are all worried about the issue of food. If the grain output is greatly increased because of his reasons, then the credit will be his. If he offers several strategies from time to time and the grain output of the Tang Dynasty increases step by step, then his credit will also accumulate - this is of course a great good thing.

He just told Helan Minzhi these things. What if this kid takes them as his own and seeks credit in front of Wu Zetian?

However, Chen Yi immediately ruled out his idea. Who is Helan Minzhi? He is Wu Zetian's nephew and the son of Korean wife Wu Shun. No one can compare to Wu Zetian's favor. There is no need to use these things to seek credit, and there is no need to take these ideas as existing. Helan Minzhi is determined to be a smart person. He has already told Wu Zetian that he does not know the way of farming. If a few days later, there will be a big talk. Wu Zetian naturally would not believe that her nephew would suddenly become enlightened within a few days. Helan Minzhi knew these things, and Wu Zetian would definitely think that what people mentioned it. Even the people who raised these ideas behind the scenes were very interested and asked clearly from Helan Minzhi.

Chen Yi is now dealing with Wu Zetian from the perspective of a doctor. Although he used Sun Simiao's mouth to make Wu Zetian curious about him, most of this curiosity was because of medical treatment. Wu Zetian did not ask him about other things, and of course he would not call him into the palace one day to ask him how he could increase the grain output of the Tang Dynasty. Through Helan Minzhi's mouth, Chen Yi believed that Helan Minzhi would definitely pass on what he said to Wu Zetian and would tell Wu Zetian who these ideas are!

Using this guy's mouth, I dedicated these theories to Wu Zetian, and further gain what I need, it is probably the best shortcut.

After thinking through this, Chen Yi no longer regretted the sarcastic sarcastic siblings, Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue, who basically don’t understand farming. He raised his hand to stop Helan Minzhi from asking about it, and continued: "Brother Changju, maybe you don’t know what the current planting method is. As far as I know, it is too extensive. After plowing the fields roughly, the seeds will be sowed without too much management. It is almost up to the weather to make a living. Do you think this kind of planting method can have a high harvest? If you do fine till the fields before planting, apply certain base fertilizer, then cultivate excellent seedlings, and wait for the seedlings to a certain extent before planting, strengthen field management, often fertilize Cordyceps to minimize the disease, do you think that under such management, will the grain output be greatly increased?"

"What you said is reasonable!" Helan Minzhi realized something and nodded and praised: "Brother Ziying, what you said is very reasonable. When I heard what you said, I also felt that our current planting method was very problematic and needed to be improved. But... I don't know if there is any such a significant increase in yield as you said!"

"Brother, since I said that, it must be true, I believe it!" Helan Minyue did not doubt what Chen Yi said at all, and immediately affirmed it, and smiled sweetly at Chen Yi.

Helan Minyue's brilliant smile made Chen Yi feel like spring breeze, and even his waist was straighter. There seemed to be a surge of passion in his chest. With a wave of his hand, he immediately began to continue saying: "Brother Changju, Minyue, if you are interested, I can prove with practice that what I said is correct. It's a pity that I have no land in my name in Chang'an, and I cannot take practical actions to convince you!"

Chen Yi's words made Helan Minzhi no longer doubt anything, and he laughed and said, "Zi Ying, don't explain it. We believe you. What you said is very reasonable and there will be no mistakes! I also know that you still have many opinions that have not been expressed, so don't sway us. Say everything you know. Then I will tell my aunt all these words. I believe my aunt will praise you after hearing it. Then..."

Helan Minzhi did not finish his words, but expressed his meaning with a smile. Chen Yi naturally understood Helan Minzhi's meaning, and his excitement became even stronger. This guy was really open-minded and directly expressed this meaning. He would also be ashamed when he had the worries he had just had. He really judged a gentleman with the heart of a villain!

"Thank you for your encouragement from Brother Changzhu. Then I continued to say some immature ideas. If there is anything wrong, please ask Brother Changzhu and Minyue to correct me!" Chen Yi expressed his necessary modesty to Helan Minzhi's brothers and sisters, and continued to tell: "I just said two points, and there is a third point!"

"The third point is to select excellent seeds. As far as I know, the rice and wheat that we planted in the Tang Dynasty are not the best seeds, especially rice, which has a long maturity cycle, low yield, and many pests and diseases, which directly leads to low yields in paddy fields. Rice is a very good crop, easy to grow and pipe, and has a high yield, which is far higher than crops such as wheat and corn. Of course, there are other species with higher yields, such as soil...beans," Chen Yi said that after he immediately reacted to this species after he said that the potatoes were revealed.

Now it should only be planted in the Americas, and it is nearly a thousand years since potatoes were introduced into China. Unless Wu Zetian now sends an ocean-going fleet to the Americas to find such a species with extremely high yields, it would be impossible to get it. After vaguely speaking, he continued with a quick speech: "If a species with higher yields are found, introduced, and planted in my Tang Dynasty, then if it is promoted, the grain output of my Tang Dynasty will definitely increase rapidly, and the problem of food shortage can be solved immediately!"
