"What is the yield per mu of these rice? How many crops can it produce in a year?"
"We have just researched mature rice seeds. This batch is the first batch of rice planted. According to the estimates of my subordinates, the yield per mu should be at least eight stones."
Cao Chao was overjoyed by Tian Mi's answer.
"Okay, you're doing great."
During the Warring States period, the agricultural technology was extremely backward, and the yield per mu of farmland was at most about six stones per mu.
If the rice seeds researched by Tian Mi increase the yield by 30.00%, that would be a remarkable achievement.
"Tell me, how did you do it?"
At this moment, Cao Chao became very interested in this matter.
Although he knows that the improvement of rice is accomplished through pollination, Cao Chao has no idea how to do it.
Seeing this, Tian Mi lowered her voice and said:
"Actually, my subordinates had no idea at the beginning, so they tried to pollinate a variety of plants, but got nothing.
"Later, by chance, my subordinates discovered that several rice plants in the field were not hermaphroditic and could not self-pollinate.
"So, with the mentality of giving it a try, my subordinates used pollen from other plants to hybridize with it.
"After several attempts, I finally found one of these plants to cross with and it worked the best.
"That's why there is this kind of hybrid rice?"
Seeing the woman nodding and giving an affirmative answer, the shock in Cao Chao's heart could not be expressed in words.
This woman is really not simple, she actually came up with hybrid rice.
If this thing can be popularized, how many people can be saved?
Although Cao Chao also asked Li Si to cultivate cassava, it was coarse grain after all.
It can be used in famines and marches, but it is impossible for the people to eat cassava for a long time.
After all, the eating habits of the Central Plains people have long been fixed, and the staple food is grains.
Therefore, according to Cao Chao's conception, the military village in his hand can plant cassava in a large area for emergency needs.
The folks mainly promote hybrid rice, mainly to increase the yield per mu.
"good very good!"
Cao Chao's tone became excited, his eyes were hot, and he looked at Tian Mi with a smile.
The technology of hybrid rice is too important to leak out at all.
This woman, my master must take it down!
Thinking of this, Cao Chao sent an order immediately.
"Give me an order to send two thousand imperial troops here to guard this place day and night, and no one else can come in or out at will."
"promise!"
Then Cao Chao looked at Xun Feng and said:
"Xun Fengli has made great achievements. He bestowed a hundred catties of gold, a hundred pieces of Sichuan brocade, a mansion on the west side of the palace, five hundred guards, and thirty beautiful singers."
The Sunbee people were dumbfounded.
He just came to do a favor, but he didn't expect such a rich reward, he was so excited that he knelt down on one knee.
"My subordinates thank you for your reward!"
Cao Chao hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up, and smiled gently:
"You deserve it, but the matter of hybrid rice is top secret, only you know each other well, you must not tell anyone else about this place, do you understand?"
"Yes, this subordinate will keep his mouth shut, and he won't tell anyone else if he dies!"
Now Sunbee finally understood that the king wanted to cover his mouth with generous rewards.
Seeing Xun Feng so upbeat, Cao Chao nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Tian Mi.
"Tian Mi, I still have some things I want to ask you about rice seeds, but time is running out, and I have to go to other places.
"How about you get into the car with the widow and continue to answer the widow's answers along the way?"
Hearing this, Tian Mi didn't doubt that there was him, so she nodded yes.
However, she didn't realize that there was a familiar smile on the corner of the man in front of him.
"Nuo Min, I don't need your protection here for now, go drive!"
"promise!"
Chapter 441 Tian Mi Gets Her Wish, The Secret of the Supervision Department
The moment Tian Mi got into the carriage, she realized that she was wrong.
Wrongly wrong.
She miscalculated the bottom line of the man in front of her.
This person's bottom line is that he has no bottom line, and he dared to do anything wrong to her in the carriage in broad daylight.
Along the way, the carriage bumped constantly.
Even if you entered the capital city and entered the bustling streets, it was the same.
Finally, after crossing the entire capital, walking out the east gate, and arriving at another manor, the frame finally regained its calm.
In the carriage, with a smile on the corner of Cao Chao's mouth, he stretched out his hand to caress Tian Mi's delicate cheek.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Da Mimi has become more mature and attractive. If this continues, I might not be able to leave you."
At this time, Tian Mi's pretty face was blushing, and she was limp in Cao Chao's arms.
"It's a concubine's blessing to serve the king."
Years of waiting finally came to fruition, but Tian Mi's heart was agitated at the moment.
Cao Chao is also a person who has a clear eyebrow, and he grasped the other party's psychology in an instant, so he comforted him.
"After I go back, I will decree that I will marry you five days later.
"The matter of hybrid rice here is very important, you have to keep an eye on it for me, and don't leak any news."
"My concubine knows."
When Tian Mi heard this, the big stone in her heart finally fell, and there was uncontrollable excitement and excitement in her eyes.
"I will definitely keep an eye on this matter for my husband."
After more than a year of contact, she has completely seen the power of this man.
So this time Tian Mi really wanted to marry Cao Chao.
After thinking for a while, Tian Mi continued:
"Actually, the core technology of hybrid rice has always been known only by the concubine, not even the sunbee, and only knows to pollinate according to the instructions of the concubine."
"it is good!"
Cao Chao was overjoyed when he heard the words, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect this woman to be so shrewd, it seems that she can add more burdens to her.
So he said: "That's good, you will live in the palace these days and correct government affairs for me.
"Let Sunbee take care of the farm affairs. Anyway, now it's just waiting for the rice to mature."
"Ok~"
Hearing that the man actually asked her to help correct the government affairs, Tian Mi was overjoyed, not to mention how happy she was.
Witnessing her mother's tragic experience when she was a child, Tian Mi was never willing to be a simple vase.
After all, women have to rely on their talents to capture men.
Beauty is unreliable.
……
While speaking, the frame had already stopped in front of a manor.
Different from Tian Mi's manor, there are already [-] guards guarding here, and the air of murder is everywhere.
This place is a restricted area where idlers are not allowed to enter. No one can enter or leave at will unless they have a king's order.
This is the supervising department of the big man, which produces all the new weapons of the big man.
It is the most tightly guarded place in the whole big man, even tighter than the palace.
At this moment, Gong Shuchou, the host of the Supervision Department, was standing at the door, waiting for the King of Han to arrive.
The next moment, the door opened, and Cao Chao slowly walked out of the compartment, and a wave of heat rushed towards him.
Looking up, you can see countless dark blast furnaces in the distance, emitting scalding heat all the time.
Under the blast furnace, countless shirtless figures are busy.
Cao Chao withdrew his gaze, and after helping Tian Mi out of the car, Gong Shuchou happened to come up to the two of them and bowed to him.
"This subordinate has seen the king."
"Mr. Gongshu, you don't need to be too polite. I heard that you have developed a new type of weapon. I want to have a look at it today!"
Cao Chao didn't intend to make a detour to help the public lose the enemy, but chose to go straight.
At this time, Gong Shuchou was only in his forties, when he was in the prime of life, he looked particularly energetic.
With a confident smile on his face, Gong Shuchou slightly raised his hand.
"Your Majesty, please come in!"
Chapter 442
Guided by Gong Shuchou, the two passed through several gates and finally came to a square.
