The latest issue of "Xinghuo" reported the harvest and success of hybrid rice in a large space.

Before the publication, Pei Linzhi saw the article on Xiao Yu's desk and said, "Are we going to hide the news of the hybrid rice from Xiao Yi? If he knows, he will definitely send someone to steal the seeds."

Xiao Yu was full of confidence: "It doesn't matter if you steal it, does he think everything will be fine if you steal the seeds?"

"Are seeds useless?" Pei Linzhi asked.

Xiao Yu said: "Seeds are of course useful. The yield in the first season may be relatively high, but it will not work in the future. After it is crossed with other rice, the original characteristics will not be maintained, and the yield will be reduced."

Pei Linzhi suddenly realized: "So that's the case, how can we ensure that the hybrid rice does not degenerate?"

Xiao Yu said: "It is necessary to plant the same variety of rice in this field, so I specially set aside the seed production area. Specially planting the same type of rice will prevent it from hybridizing with other varieties and degenerating."

"Sure enough, it's a university question. Xiao Yu must have never imagined that even if he tried his best to steal the rice seeds, it was still useless. He thought we were lying to him." Pei Linzhi said with a smile.

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Exactly, in fact, different rice hybrids are likely to produce rice with higher yields, but if there are no professionals to screen and cultivate them to stabilize their characteristics, it will only be a flash in the pan. It is like a very smart If a genius who never had the opportunity to read and write, then he would not have the opportunity to become a writer, an inventor, or an official.”

Pei Linzhi nodded in admiration: "It makes sense."

The report of the hybrid rice really caused a great commotion, and some people in the Yiming Club even used this as a topic of debate to calculate the time when the dynasty would attack the north.

The aggressive ones think that it will take the initiative to attack within five years, while the conservative ones think that it will take nearly 20 years, because the problem of food and clothing has just been solved, and people dare to open their bellies to have children, and it will take time for this generation of newborns to grow up.

If Pei Linzhi heard these arguments, he would just smile, because next year he planned to capture Jin'an County and Liang'an County.

Jin'an and Liang'an are sparsely populated, so it shouldn't be difficult to capture them. If Xiao Yi wants to take them back, he will have to pay a higher price, depending on whether he can afford a war of attrition.

Moreover, Jin'an and Liang'an are very wonderful places, facing the sea in the east, Wuyi Mountains in the west and Jiangzhou in the west, and mountains in the north. They are completely natural fortresses.

Xiao Yu didn't think about fighting for the time being. Ji Shan was about to go to sea, so he was discussing it.

This time, Ji Shan and Dou Qiye are leading the team. Dou Qiye is getting old and his energy is not very good. If it is not the first time for Ji Shan to lead the team, he should have rested.But for the sake of safety, he still insisted on making another trip to escort Jishan and the fleet.

There were as many as ten merchant ships going to sea this time, which was larger than ever before.Xiao Yu was looking forward to it, but he was also a little worried. After all, Ji Shan had just taken on the big task, and he didn't know if he would be able to do it.

However, Min Chong couldn't escape, and he had no choice but to believe in Jishan.

In the end, he comforted himself that the chick cannot always be sheltered under the wings of the big bird, it needs to go on an adventure alone and experience wind and rain.

At the end of October, the wind direction changed completely, and the fleet finally set sail and embarked on the Maritime Silk Road again.

Xiao Yu sent the fleet away from the pier and returned to the city. Looking at the bustling crowds and streets in the city, he felt very relieved. The commercial policies he implemented had finally achieved certain results. A lot more.

Although Xiao Yi banned merchant ships, merchants always have channels to break through the blockade.No, many people made a detour from Dongrong South to do business, and big ships docked every two days.

Xiao Yu felt extremely satisfied listening to the Southern accent and Northern tune. This kind of scene was exactly what he dreamed of. Having a businessman would allow the flow of funds, generate profits, and revitalize the economy.

In the future, he doesn't need to always collect wool from farmers. The wool of merchants is much richer than that of farmers.

When Xiao Yu returned to the mansion, he saw A Ping playing on the swing in the yard, and Xiao Chun was pushing him.Seeing Xiao Yu came back, he stopped swinging on the swing, and hurried over: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun! Play with me."

Xiao Yu heard his crisp shout, and thought to himself, is it too late for him to change his name to dad?He is seriously considering taking A Ping as his adopted son.

The meaning of Yue Wang Xiao Yin sending his son to him is very obvious. Xiao Yin has no hope for his own fate, and he may become a victim of the game between the two countries at any time, so he completely entrusted his son to him.

But Xiao Yu has always been in the mentality of helping his brother take care of his son. A Ping is his nephew, and he never thought of keeping it for himself.

It wasn't until recently that he was urged to marry that he realized that if he didn't have an heir, he wouldn't be able to explain to his officials, let alone the people of the world.

But neither he nor Pei Linzhi has the ability to conceive and have a child. Where did this son come from?

Looking left and right, isn't there a ready-made man? In order to have a son, the ancient emperors got a harem full of women and tried their best to create a man, but in the end, they still failed to fulfill their wish. Either they couldn't give birth, or they died when they were born. In the end, the throne still needs to be inherited, and a nephew is often selected from the clan as the heir.

So Xiao Yu accepted A Ping as his adopted son, which is considered to be in line with the convention, and it is not a bad idea to succeed him in the future.

But the matter is very important, and Aping's father is still alive, so he must be consulted.So Xiao Yu planned to send someone to send a letter to the north quietly, hoping to find Xiao Yin who was serving as the proton in Chang'an, and inform him of his decision, of course it was only to inform him.

Xiao Yu played with A Ping for a while, then said: "I don't want to play anymore, it's windy today, be careful not to catch a cold, go back to the house."

As a result, his word became a prophecy, and Ah Ping really became a little hot at night.

Xiao Yu said: "Sigui, ask Sigui to come over and show Aping."

Ji Hai said: "Junior brother has not come back today."

Xiao Yu was a little surprised: "Why haven't you come back so late?"

"I'm not sure, he went to Jihetang to see a doctor today. I think there was some delay." Ji Hai replied.

Pei Linzhi said: "Go and find him and come back."

Xiao Yu said: "Forget it, it's too late, I won't look for it anymore, it's just a little fever, let's cool him down by ourselves."

Xiao Yu boiled some onion and ginger water for A Ping to drink, and then used alcohol to cool him down. By morning, the fever had subsided.Children's illnesses come and go quickly.

After the court was over, Xiao Yu returned to the backyard and heard Meng Sigui's voice: "I'm right here, you guys throw out my things."

Yu'er asked anxiously: "Brother Sigui, are you really okay?"

Meng Sigui said: "It doesn't matter to me for the time being, I must tell His Majesty about this matter, don't go out these days. I'm sure it's smallpox."

When Xiao Yu heard the word "smallpox", he was stunned: "Sigui, where are you? What's going on?"

Yu'er said: "Brother Sigui is on the other side of the courtyard wall. If he didn't come in, he said that there was a smallpox patient in their clinic. Your Majesty, what is smallpox?" Such severe infectious diseases are rare.

Meng Sigui said over there: "Your Majesty, I can't go home. I'm temporarily staying in the hospital. I'll come back when the situation is stable."

"Wait a minute, Sigui, tell me clearly, where did the smallpox come from?" This is a big problem, the smallpox virus is more terrifying than the large flu, a severe respiratory infectious disease.

Meng Sigui said, "It seems to be brought by a merchant from the north."

"When did the merchant arrive? What are the symptoms?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I arrived the day before yesterday. The symptoms are fever, headache, chills, cough, and pustules on the skin." Meng Sigui said.

Xiao Yu felt dizzy when he heard it, and it really was smallpox: "Have you consulted the patient yourself?"

Meng Sigui said: "Yes, I have never seen smallpox." This child is very keen on various difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

"Then do you have protection? Have you covered your mouth and nose?" Xiao Yu asked.

"It's a cover-up. But I may be infected, so I dare not come back, for fear of bringing the disease home." Meng Sigui's voice changed a little when he said this, and he was finally a little scared at this moment.

Xiao Yu said: "Don't worry, from now on, you need to cover your mouth with a cloth and don't contact people directly. You are required to do the same for the doctors and staff in your medical center. Every patient who comes to the medical center must also wear a cloth to cover your mouth. Nose. Fish, hurry up and bring over cotton and cotton cloth, as well as oiled paper, and I will teach you how to make a mask. Sigui, listen to me, and I will teach you how to protect yourself and others."

Although Xiao Yu is not a doctor, he still has a deep understanding of the protection of respiratory infectious diseases, because he has personally experienced one of the largest epidemics of respiratory infectious diseases in human history. Before he passed through, the epidemic had not yet ended.

Who knew that without the new crown pneumonia, smallpox would be encountered here again.

Smallpox is more terrifying than the new crown, especially with such medical conditions.

Xiao Yu and Meng Sigui explained the prevention and treatment methods in detail and taught him how to protect himself.In such a disease, in the absence of effective drugs, prevention is obviously more important than cure.

After Xiao Yu explained clearly to Meng Sigui, he hurriedly notified the officials who had just left the court to come back to discuss the prevention and control of smallpox.

From now on, the whole city is under martial law, and the people in the city are required to stay at home and not go out unless it is related to people's livelihood. Those who go out must wear a mask for protection.

Xiao Yu personally formulated a series of protective measures, asking the government to issue the request and convey it to all the people in the city.The streets should also be limed and disinfected.

Meng Sigui said that there were dozens of people on board the patient who came from the north. He stayed in the inn for one night and stayed in the hospital for two days. There were at least a hundred people who had close contact with him for the second time. However, the people on board the ship may have already been infected. Once an outbreak occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
