God-level Great Hunjun System

"Of course, students of Taixue should not lose confidence because of this. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in art, and your attainments in classics and history are not comparable to students of Hongdu School. Let's learn from each other. Haha!"

Yan Hao is giving a stick to a sweet date. After all, the students of Taixue are also the pillars of the country. Although they say they want to support the development of art, they can't show obvious favoritism.

After hearing Yan Hao's words, the Taixue students' complexions improved a little.

At this time, Yan Hao continued to announce: "In order to further examine the ability of the students of Hongdu School and select outstanding talents, I decided to hold a palace examination in the Jinluan Hall after a while. At that time, poems, words, Fu, calligraphy, and paintings will be selected. The number one scholar of the five sects has issued an edict to the whole country, and granted permission to enter the Longtu Pavilion as an encouragement!"

Alright, after hearing this, the whole audience fell into jubilation.

And Yan Hao, who finished dealing with Hongdu School affairs, also returned to the palace immediately, and couldn't wait to open the system mall.Now that he holds a huge amount of [-] points, he can't believe he can't find a good solution to the food problem!

Sure enough, he soon found a prop with a heaven-defying effect in the mall.

Hybrid Rice SKU-II

SSS level props

Redeem consumption points: 4 points

Description: Super strong sativa rice seed.Adaptability Max!Growth ability Max!Yield Max!Quality Max!The perfect food crop variety that is impeccable in every way!

Yan Hao was shocked when he saw this explanation. He had never seen the system use four Max to describe a prop, so it can be seen that the effect has really reached the level of heaven-defying.Whether it is the 3S rating of SSS or the super high exchange points of 4 points, it definitely shows the amazing value of this item!

Chapter 159 Promotion of New Rice

Due to the huge consumption of 4 points, Yan Hao did not dare to neglect at all, and inquired the system about the specific attributes of this super rice in detail before the official exchange.

According to the information provided by the system, the production cycle of this hybrid rice SKU-II only takes four months, with spring planting and summer harvesting, summer planting and autumn harvesting, and two harvests a year.There are basically no requirements for the growing environment. Whether it is in arid or humid areas, all kinds of soil can be planted normally, and they have tenacious vitality, no fear of insects and diseases, guaranteed harvest in drought and flood, and the yield is more than twice that of ordinary rice varieties!

It can be said that as long as this kind of super rice can be promoted in the whole Wei Dynasty, the food problem of Wei Dynasty can be solved once and for all, and there will be no more hungry people in the world!

After figuring this out, Yan Hao immediately spent 4 points to exchange the hybrid rice SKU-II type rice seed. Although this wave cost him [-] points, it is more likely than the new type of rice in the future. The resulting benefits are not worth mentioning.

After exchanging the hybrid rice SKU-II, Yan Hao excitedly recruited Zhang Feng, the chief farmer, and showed Zhang Feng the rice seeds, asking him to promote the new rice seeds nationwide.

Yan Hao originally thought that Zhang Feng would be very excited, but he didn't expect Zhang Feng to show embarrassment when facing the rice seeds Yan Hao gave him.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the benefits of the rice seeds you mentioned sound fantastic, like a fairy tale, which makes me unbelievable." Zhang Feng looked at Yan Hao suspiciously, not knowing what the emperor was saying. What new tricks are you doing.

When Yan Hao heard that Zhang Feng didn't believe it, he became anxious: "Zhang Aiqing, how could the emperor lie to you? You will know the benefits of this thing after you promote it!"

Zhang Feng reasoned and said: "Your Majesty, the way of agriculture pays attention to the right time and place. We have accumulated rich agricultural experience for thousands of years. In our country, there are still relevant and complete agricultural books and the wisdom of our ancestors. Therefore, Your Majesty must not Listen to the words of liars and destroy the basic laws of agricultural operation!"

Yan Hao was a little speechless. He knew that the reason why Zhang Feng resisted so much was because what he said was so unbelievable that Zhang Feng was more willing to believe that Yan Hao was bewitched by some kind of charlatan. Want to get away with it.If this is the case, the consequences of carrying out Yan Hao's order and promoting a new type of rice variety that has no good benefits at all will be disastrous!

Zhang Feng's ability to consider these also shows that he is indeed mature and experienced, and concerned about the country and the people, but he never thought that the existence of the system cannot be explained by common sense.

So Yan Hao sternly said to Zhang Feng: "Zhang Aiqing, I discovered this rice seed myself, and I was not deceived by anyone! I swear in the name of the Son of Heaven that what I said is true! Please believe that this new type of rice It is the best way to save the lives of all peoples!"

When Yan Hao said this, Zhang Feng had to believe it if he didn't believe it, so he had to accept Yan Hao's order to promote new rice varieties.Although he still has doubts in his heart, he believes that Yan Hao, the emperor who has created countless miracles, can also successfully get Wei through the difficulties this time.

As soon as the decree was issued to promote the new type of rice, the Si Nong Mansion immediately went into full operation.The Si Nong Mansion has set up bases in all Daozhou counties across the country, dispatching agricultural commissioners with the help of local government leaders to promote new rice varieties at designated points.

The efficiency of the Wei administrative organization, which has undergone several organizational reforms and downsizing of personnel, is not what it used to be, and the speed of policy implementation is particularly rapid. In just half a month, more than a quarter of the country's farmland has been replanted Hybrid rice SKU-II type!

However, the first problem encountered in the promotion and planting of new rice varieties is the spring drought.Hybrid rice SKU-II is a powerful 3S rice species, but it is not a fairy species that can live without water, so if there is no water available, it will still be difficult to survive!Even if they barely survived, the output would be greatly reduced!

Yan Hao was worried about this matter for several days, until Yue'er reminded him that maybe he could go to a Buddhist temple or a Taoist temple to pray to the heavens, and bless Da Wei with good weather.At this time, Yan Hao slapped his head and remembered, what did he need to pray to the heavens, isn't there a ready-made prayer card in the system mall?

Chapter 160

Yan Hao immediately opened the system mall, and sure enough, he found an item named "Father and Rain Card".

【Father and Rain Card】

S class props

Redemption points consumption: 1 points

Effect: It can guarantee that the country will be in good weather for a month without any natural disasters!

Produced by the system, it must be a boutique!Don't look at this weather card is just an S-level item, and it only needs 1 points to redeem, but the effect is awesome!

The duration of one month is not very long, but it is enough. This month is the most critical period for spring planting. The good weather during this period is decisive for the future grain harvest!

So Yan Hao did not hesitate, and immediately exchanged this god-level item card.

The effect of the Good Weather Card was immediate. On the day it was redeemed, the disaster situation in various provinces improved. On the second day, many areas that had been dry for dozens of days also had rain after a long drought.

Soon, the spring drought problem was completely a thing of the past, and planting was going smoothly all over the country!And Zhang Feng, the chief farmer, was extremely shocked to see the vigorous vitality of the new rice species and the growth rate far exceeding that of ordinary rice species. Seed promotion and planting work.

With the news of the gratifying growth of the new hybrid rice SKU-II from the agricultural departments of various places to the central government, Yan Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.As long as he can see the bumper harvest this summer, he will have won a complete victory. With the further promotion and popularization of new rice varieties in the future, the food problem will be solved once and for all!

Yan Hao, who was in a relaxed mood, quickly thought of another thing, that is, how to use the top iron smelting technology rewarded by the Hongdumen learning task?

Yan Hao made a special inspection of the iron smelting workshop under the supervision of the Central Military Commission in Beijing.

After investigation, he found that Wei's iron smelting technology was already relatively advanced in ancient times.In terms of fuel, in addition to the traditional coke fuel, coal has been partially used as fuel.In terms of smelting furnaces, blast furnace smelting, animal power and even hydraulic blast have been widely used.

But in the most important steelmaking technology, the Great Wei State still has a lot of flaws!At present, the main methods used in Dawei steelmaking are still the hundred forging method and the pouring method.

Needless to say, the hundred forging method, as the name suggests, is to reduce the carbon content of pig iron through dozens of forgings to make it into steel.Because of the existence of this method, in ancient times, "ten forgings", "twenty forgings", and "one hundred forgings" were used to distinguish the quality of steel, and craftsmen were also proud of the number of times they forged steel.

Although this method can be regarded as a simple choice when the technical conditions are low, the overall efficiency is extremely low!Just imagine that every piece of pig iron has to be tempered thousands of times before it can be made into steel. What a waste of manpower is this?

No wonder some craftsmen in ancient times spent several years to forge a five-knife knife. Modern people still tout it as "artisan spirit", but they don't know that this is the backwardness of technology!

As for the steel pouring method, this is indeed a great invention of ancient Chinese ironmaking technology!This method is to pour pig iron liquid on wrought iron, and use the method of infiltration to reduce the carbon content, so as to make steel.This method is actually a very clever steelmaking method in ancient times, and it is also the reason why China's ancient steelmaking technology is ahead of the West.

There are many people, including some in China, who say that ancient Western ironmaking technology is ahead of ancient China. This is actually a prejudice or a fallacy.You must know that at the same time that China has mastered the steel pouring method, Western Europe is still using the relatively backward block smelting method to cast iron!

But when it comes to the peak of ancient steelmaking technology, both China and Western Europe are younger brothers in front of the crucible steelmaking method in Central Asia and India.The high-carbon steel produced by the dry pot steelmaking method cuts iron like mud and is indestructible.Arabian Damascus steel and Uzi steel are all made by this method.

After this kind of hard steel was introduced to China from the Western Regions, even the ancient Chinese who had mastered extremely high iron-making technology were shocked by it, calling it a magic weapon, and it was recorded as iron in ancient books.

Chapter 161 New Steelmaking Technique

How helpful is good steel to a nation and a civilization?Just look at history.The productivity of the famous nomads on the grasslands such as the Scythians and Mongols is far behind that of the agricultural civilizations that settled in the Central Plains, so why are they invincible in wars?

In addition to being brave by nature, another very important reason is that the Central Asian Arabs have mastered advanced steelmaking technology. In the era of cold weapons, using refined steel weapons to fight ordinary cast iron weapons can be compared to cannons in the era of hot weapons. The advantages of shooting others with a shotgun are of course overwhelming!

Not to mention the Arab civilizations in Central Asia, which have been rampant on the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa for more than 1000 years. The fierce and frightening battles rely on the sharp Arab weapons?

It can be seen that the influence of ironmaking technology on the military strength of ancient civilizations, and steelmaking technology is the crown of ironmaking technology.

Yan Hao thought happily, it would be great if the "top iron smelting technology" rewarded by the system was the dry pot steelmaking method.Think about the powerful economic strength and population of the Central Plains civilization, coupled with the indestructible Damascus steel, what a terrifying combat power it will form!

So Yan Hao immediately chose to use the task reward "top iron smelting technology" in the system panel, and the system reminded him that the iron smelting technology will be updated in half a month.
