Chapter 105 Of course there is

(Today, at least the fourth update is delivered, the first update is delivered. Book friends, I look forward to your strong support, please collect, recommend, reward, and support!)

Chen Yi's words completely confused Helan Minzhi. As Chen Yi stopped talking, he quickly asked: "Ziying, what kind of soil and beans are you talking about with extremely high yields? What kind of thing is that? Where is it?" Helan Minyue also looked puzzled, but hesitated for a while but still didn't ask.

Chen Yi regretted the carelessness he had just spoken. He knew that the brother and sister sitting in front of him were not easy to fool. There were any loopholes in his words or any novel words that would be noticed by them immediately. He could only explain: "That thing called potato is said to have a very high yield, with a yield of more than ten stones per mu, and is very easy to plant, but it is produced in the south... Yang, which is tens of thousands of miles away from my Tang Dynasty... Nan... Yang, I also saw it in the book, and was still excited at that time, but when I thought that this product was so far away from us, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and countless oceans, even if my Emperor or Empress of the Tang Dynasty sent people to pick it up, it would not be able to get it back in less than ten or eight years..."

"It's nothing. I will tell my aunt. If there is really such a species, the yield per mu is as high as ten stones, I believe my aunt must be interested and will send someone to some south...the foreign land to find a way to find a way to get such a good thing!" Helan Minzhi raised his hand to stop Chen Yi who wanted to explain something, and smiled and said, "Zi Ying, don't you worry about this. As long as the aunt wants to do nothing, there is nothing that cannot be done. Didn't Arab things tens of thousands of miles away appear in Chang'an as well?"

Chen Yi could not have thought that a "potato" would bring such a result, and inadvertently, he could only smile helplessly. Compared with America, what does Abbot count? Arab territory is connected to the Tang Dynasty, while America and Tang Dynasty are separated by sea and ocean. There is no good ocean technology, so the sent people can only be buried in the belly of fish. Chen Yi thought that his words today may cause many innocent people to die in the sea, so he felt a little guilty, but thinking that this was just Helan Minzhi's proposal, when will he get the opportunity? Tell Wu Zetian that Chen Ming is in trouble and some other alternatives, it is very likely that Wu Zetian would not have the idea of ​​sending people to search for potatoes.

But potatoes are really a good thing. If this thing appeared in the Tang Dynasty now, after being widely promoted, it would definitely keep thousands of people from the Tang Dynasty from the threat of hunger.

"Okay, Brother Changju really wants to tell the Empress, then let's talk, but the place where this thing is produced is really far away from us. It is separated by an insurmountable ocean. To get there, you need very excellent ocean technology... Even if there is a good ocean, it will not take decades to come back!" Chen Yi immediately changed his tone and said another novel species he knew. "And the other species I know is very easy to obtain. This product has a very high yield and a short maturity cycle. It is born in any place. Its origin is near Jiaozhou, my Tang Dynasty. It is likely that it was planted in Jiaozhou. Someone in my Tang Dynasty may have known and contacted this species..."

"What is that?" Helan Minzhi immediately asked.

"Chancheng rice is produced in large quantities in Linyi State. Rice seeds are named after the place where it is produced. The capital of Linyi State, Zhancheng, is recorded in the book. According to the records, the yield of this product is very high. What is particularly valuable is that it is born indiscriminately and has a short maturity cycle, which is only thirty or forty days, which is nearly half a time shorter than ordinary rice. This product can grow and mature in Jiangnan, Lingnan, and Jianghuai areas with high temperature and rainy summers. If this product is introduced to the mainland and promoted and planted in large quantities, the grain production of our Tang Dynasty will be produced in the Tang Dynasty.

The quantity will definitely have a surprising increase!" Chen Yi then told Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue in great detail about the information about Chameng rice he knew. Regardless of whether it is suitable or not, whether the brother and sister are interested in it, after talking about it, he said: "Brother Changju, this product is not far from my Tang Dynasty, and it is possible to plant it even under my Tang Dynasty. It is very easy to obtain. If you are interested, you can suggest that Your Majesty and the Queen send someone to obtain this rice seed!"

Helan Minzhi looked at Chen Yi in disbelief, "Brother Ziying, I have never heard of Chameng Dao before. Where did you know about it?"

"I heard that I have seen it in books!" Chen Yi said lightly. He knew that in history, Chameng rice was introduced in large quantities and promoted in the mainland during the Song Dynasty. This was also an important factor in economic prosperity during the Song Dynasty. In historical records, there was no record of the introduction of Chameng rice during the Tang Dynasty, and even rice was not started to be planted on a large scale. If his proposal was adopted, the food problem of the Tang Dynasty would not have been as difficult as it is now.

Chen Yi very much hopes that Helan Minzhi can tell Wu Zetian all his words, and that Wu Zetian will summon him, so he will give another speech on this issue until he can speak.

The response from Helan Minzhi still reassured Chen Yi, "Brother Ziying, I will go to the palace immediately after I go back a while and talk to my aunt about this. If there is such a thing, it will be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty. But... I am very confused. Such a good thing is also planted in the Jiaozhou area of ​​my Tang Dynasty. Why is no one telling the court and suggesting it to be widely promoted?"

"Maybe the officials in Jiaozhou did not realize the benefits of Chameng rice! It might also be other reasons!" Chen Yi didn't know why this species with high yields and very easy to plant was not introduced during the Tang Dynasty.

Jiaozhou is Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. During the Tang Dynasty, that part of Hanoi was just a state under the actual governance of the Tang Dynasty. Large areas in northern Vietnam were also the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This made Chen Yi very proud. He did not even blame the officials of Jiaozhou for not paying attention to the Chamengji. Unfortunately, in the era in which he lived in later generations, that land no longer belonged to China.

"Well, my aunt will find out after you have a look at this!" Helan Minzhi nodded with some understanding and asked again: "Zi Ying, do you have any other insights that you have never expressed?"

Chen Yi looked at Helan Minzhi, and then looked at him with a full face of admiration, abandoning the reserve of the girl, and staring at him with a very moving look. Helan Minyue nodded and said proudly: "Of course there is another more conscious and important proposal, I haven't said it yet! This can be said to be the best way to solve the food shortage of my Tang Dynasty, which can be adopted in most places! Then adopt the planting technology of several ripe a year, using rice, wheat, rice, beans, wheat, beans and other replants, and planting several ripe crops per piece of land every year. Wouldn't the yield be greatly increased?"

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he looked at Helan Minzhi and Helan Minyue with a look of surprise in front of him with great smugness...
