Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1460 Megatron the world

  Fang Jifan entered the lobby, Taikang Princess Zhu Xiurong knew that Fang Jifan had something to discuss with Zhang Xinshen, so she got up and left the seat with the child in her arms, and avoided it naturally.

  Zhang Xin was busy saluting Fang Jifan.

   Seeing Zhang Xin's "down and down" look, Fang Jifan felt emotional. Everyone knows that food is the most important thing, and people will die if they are hungry, but how many people really study agriculture and engage in farming?

   People like Fang Jifan and Zhang Xin are really rare in the world.

  Fang Jifan cut straight to the point: "This time I let you come back, there is only one thing to explain. I heard that you have opened up a rice field in Xishan."

  The north is not suitable for growing rice, mainly because it does not have as much rain as the south.

  Of course, in Xishan, there are many experimental fields in Tuntian.

  Zhang Xin is a real and honest person, and he said concisely: "There are hundreds of acres."

  Fang Jifan had a smile on his lips, and asked again: "How about the output?"

  Zhang Xin then said: "In these years of intensive cultivation, the output has reached the scale of the south, reaching two crops a year, and one crop is 400 catties."

  Four hundred catties...

   This seems to be the limit of the current rice production.

  If you want to come to most places, the yield per mu can reach 300 catties, which is already considered remarkable.

  That's it... It's still the result of the continuous improvement and breeding of improved varieties in Tuntian.

   Now that there is a microscope, the Tuntian Institute has begun to study hybrid rice, but the progress of the research is still a bit slow.

Fang Jifan thought for a while, and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. After this year, when the spring begins, we will start to sow seeds. These years, I ordered you to look for some special wild rice seeds. I wonder if there is any clue now? ?”

   "I found a lot, and I have everything."

  Fang Jifan nodded in satisfaction.

With people like Zhang Xin, there is no need to talk nonsense to him, it is the best way to communicate, Fang Jifan said: "After the spring, you stay in the capital and take good care of these rice fields. We will try to come and have a look. Can the output break through to a thousand catties."

  Thousands...thousands...

  Zhang Xin couldn't help being taken aback.

  This is a fully doubled output.

how can that be.

  He looked at Fang Jifan in astonishment.

  Although large-scale corn and sweet potatoes have begun to be promoted.

   Barely solved the current food shortage problem.

  But these crops are difficult to store compared to rice. Therefore, rice and wheat are still the most mainstream staple foods at present.

  But for thousands of years, although the output of rice and wheat has been increasing, this increase has gradually increased after a long period of time.

   In the blink of an eye, the yield has more than doubled... Zhang Xin has studied agronomy for so many years, but it is only on the basis of the original, the yield has been increased by tens of catties, less than a hundred catties.

If this is the case, wouldn't it be... The grain production of Daming can be more than doubled, which is a terrifying situation. Since then, countless grains can not only satisfy the food of the world, but also This stored food can still be piled up like a mountain.

  In this era, the government has always regarded the grain stored in the warehouse as the most important performance indicator.

  When people describe the prosperous age, they often describe it as a mountain of grain in the granary.

  Because food is fundamental.

   Even if the industry and commerce start to develop now, everyone understands that food is the foundation of the moment.

   Zhang Xin said in a difficult way: "This... I'm afraid..."

Fang Jifan waved his hand and interrupted: "It's useless to talk to you now. You will understand later. You should prepare first and select some capable people. This experimental field may not be enough. Baoding will also find a way." Open up some experimental fields. The rice seeds you searched for should be handed over to the research institute immediately. Oh, you come back from a long distance, rest first, and go back to see Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi is getting old and you are away from home all day. Go back and have a look."

   Zhang Xin's mind was buzzing.

   What he was thinking about was, how could the yield per mu reach a thousand catties.

  This is really incredible.

  If other ignorant people, maybe they really believed it, because they believe in all kinds of miraculous things.

   But people who study more deeply tend to question these unreliable things.

  Of course, if Fang Jifan said this, Zhang Xin dare not disbelieve it.

  So...he felt that his theoretical knowledge was completely subverted.

   Hearing that Fang Jifan told him to go home to see his father.

  Zhang Xin couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: "My father went to Fengyang New Year Festival last month, and he hasn't returned yet."

  Fang Jifan was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and then he smiled: "Well, the British public is really hard."

  …

  I met Zhang Xin and gave him a thorough explanation, and then it was about Zhu Houzhao.

  Nitrogen fertilizer research is imperative.

  Nowadays, the Manchu Dynasty has doubts about industry and commerce.

   After all, the Central Plains Dynasty has thousands of years of agricultural-based historical experience.

  The reason why agriculture is the foundation is by no means what the ancients thought of.

  The ancients are the group that is best at summing up historical experience. To some extent, they are smarter than anyone else.

  Whether it is the emperor or Confucianism, they have advocated scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. The essence is that they have seen too much of the huge harm brought about by the reduction of agricultural production.

  All resources of the country must be put into agriculture, otherwise... there will be big troubles.

  Although new crops such as sweet potatoes began to be promoted, the yield of rice and wheat has not been fundamentally improved.

  And now...the time is ripe, Fang Jifan wants them to see the power of business.

   Zhu Houzhao probably understood Fang Jifan's thinking.

  Crops need something called nitrogen. With this thing, the growth of crops can reach its peak state.

  So the essence of fertilizer is to allow crops to eat and supplement.

  It’s as if I am engaged in manual labor, proficient in riding and shooting, and can also knit sweaters. Occasionally, I have to spend my head on research, so...there is a great demand for beef, so it is necessary to supplement beef.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao was happy, and said with a smile: "Understood, I understand, let's find a way to try it out. Many experiments in the past few days have indeed found many interesting things, but I don't know if there is nitrogen in it. Ah, You always talk about nutrient absorption, and you say that I am hungry."

  Fang Jifan sternly touched his stomach: "It's only afternoon."

   There was a moment of silence.

  Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan met each other's eyes...um...it's important to absorb nutrients first.

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi held a memorial in his hand.

   is from Jiangxi Chief Envoy.

   Of course, this is the memorial to impeachment.

  The target of impeachment is a man named Wang Jinyuan.

   This person caused panic and complaints in Jiangxi, and people talked about Fang's face. Not only was the surname Fang a **** misfortune, but even the surnames Fan and Wan were all terrified.

  Among the Jiangxi dialects, Fang, Fan, and Wan are basically not distinguished, and the wind is too tight, which can scare people.

  Emperor Hongzhi put down the memorial, with no expression on his face.

  Pale voice: "Shut up these melodies and keep them."

  Stay in the middle means...no reply, take an attitude of ignoring this impeachment memorial.

  Xiao Jing understood the memorial and put it in a corner.

  He didn't show any reaction on his face. These things have nothing to do with him.

Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said again: "Jifan has really worked hard. For this eternal foundation, someone always needs to go to Huangjinzhou. As for Fan, he did the opposite, but set an example and only ordered their Fang family... It can be seen that this person is not partial to personal interests, and is dedicated to the public."

   Xiao Jing's face finally changed slightly.

  Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and said: "I didn't know that Fang Jifan had so many relatives before, but now I know that there are so many."

Xiao Jing thought to himself, who is to blame for this? If you want to blame, blame the common people for their love of family trees. This genealogy was written from the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is a matter of thousands of years. of.

  Xiao Jing thought of something, and said: "The servant girl heard about the Fang family from all over the south, and began to destroy the family tree."

   "Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, and said, "And then?"

"However, Wang Jinyuan claimed there that if a person surnamed Fang couldn't produce a family tree, it would be regarded as disrespecting the ancestors and violating filial piety. The whole family should be sent to Tianjin Wei and sent to Huangjinzhou. I heard that not a single fish slipped through the net. "

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi's expression is a bit complicated...

   After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed again: "Fang Jifan has his own difficulties. For the foundation of the world, someone must make sacrifices. This sacrifice, he chose to start with their Fang family."

   Just as he was talking, an **** hurried into the hall, prostrated himself and said, "Your Majesty, an urgent report from Bosi, Tianjin Wei City."

  Emperor Hongzhi put away his emotions and cheered up.

  The main responsibility of the City Bureau is to communicate overseas.

  Under normal circumstances, when an urgent report comes from the Shibo Company, nine out of ten it means that something important has happened overseas.

  Emperor Hongzhi was extremely concerned about the affairs of the world, and ordered the Secretary of the General Administration to report directly to the cabinet without sending any news.

   "Bring it here, let me have a look."

  A report was delivered to Emperor Hongzhi.

   Xiao Jing stood behind Emperor Hongzhi, secretly looking at the report.

  Looking at it...Xiao Jing suddenly became so interested.

  Fang Jinglong, the king of Xinjin County, made a presentation, and Huang Jinzhou was initially decided. However, Fang Jinglong was in poor health. According to the advice of the medical staff, he should return to Beijing to recuperate.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, and couldn't help saying: "Fang Qing's family has worked hard and made great achievements, so they should go back to Beijing to recuperate, but...why didn't they call Jifan to go, but let Zhengqing go? Zhengqing is so young, can he take on a big responsibility?"

   Full of doubts, he looked at this strange memorial and thought about it.

   But after thinking about it carefully, in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi, Fang Jinglong is a very safe person. Since Fang Jinglong played it like this, there must be his reason.

  So after pondering for a while, Emperor Hongzhi picked up the ink brush, drew a circle under the memorial, and wrote a word...'Ke'.
