The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Walking all the way east from Chang'an City, the oncoming wind gradually brought water vapor.

Passing through many cities along the way, Xia Anran asked someone to go shopping all the way.

The young feudal lord prepared several wooden boxes and bamboo sticks, and put the purchased fruit, vegetable seeds, and grain seeds into the boxes one by one to record.

He did this to prevent Zhongshan country from not having these fruits, and he probably knew where to buy seedlings.Secondly...

"Teacher, did you find out that the types of grain used in different towns are also different."

Xia Anran put several grains side by side on a sackcloth.

Taifu Zhai went in to take a closer look, and finally pointed out one grain: "It is true that I have little experience in farming, but in my humble opinion... it seems that the closer to the east, the fatter the millet?"

Seeing that Xia Anran nodded, he thought for a while, and frowned slightly: "I am waiting for the convoy to travel eastward. If this guess is true, the grain seeds of Zhongshan Kingdom must be better than here. I am stupid, and I don't understand why His Highness still wants to buy these seeds. .”

"Whether it's good or bad, you have to plant it out and try it out." Xia Anran said to the skeptical Taifu, he was not going to reveal his plan to hybridize rice for the time being.

Inadvertently, he seemed to have read reports that ancient people seemed to hate the concept of "hybridization" and did not like "impure" things.

For example, the reason why mules became a tool for transporting power in the Qing Dynasty was because the ancients did not like crossbreeding and felt that it was contrary to the natural relationship. In addition, the selection of livestock breeds cannot be separated from inbreeding, which is even more thunderous.

I don't know if this is true or not. If it is true, he will have to work hard.

The young boy was sitting alone in the constantly shaking carriage, with a side of bamboo slips spread out in front of him, but his mind was not on it.

Hybridization is a must.Xia Anran thought.

Whether it is a plant or an animal, choose a species with particularly obvious characteristics as the female parent and male parent, and select a better one from the offspring for re-cultivation. After several generations of genetic screening and elimination, the most stable variety is selected, which is hybridization. meaning.

For example, choose rice with better lodging resistance to pollinate each other, or rice with excellent tillering ability, and then match it with particularly disease-resistant rice. If you are lucky, you can do it thirty or forty times, and if you are unlucky, you can do it thousands of times. After countless times of cultivation, May be able to produce an excellent new variety.

And before the final product is obtained, there will definitely be very good mutant varieties among them. These mutant varieties, or varieties that go in the wrong direction also have their bright spots.

For example, today's fruit corn is an accidental product.

Animals are a little faster, and plants are a little slower, in short, no matter which one, the interference, selection and cultivation of human beings can interfere and accelerate their evolutionary direction.

And not to mention this, simply mixing east and west grains can also improve its advantages.Not to mention, the rice that can grow in the west must have an advantage that the rice in the east can hold a candle to—it is more resistant to drought.

The North China Plain will not always be so warm and humid. After the rain belt moved from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, Hebei was often affected by spring droughts, resulting in reduced production.

If possible, he would also like to introduce rice varieties from the south, especially those that can achieve two crops and three crops a year, which naturally carry the "precocious" gene.

If at that time his fief can also achieve double cropping of rice... hehehe.

The goal is beautiful, but the process is bound to be tortuous. If it is so easy to cultivate varieties, there will not be only so many varieties in modern times. What's more, there are greenhouses, fill lights and other equipment in modern times that can increase the germination speed of seeds and accelerate their growth period. , there is no need to follow the solar terms, there is nothing he can do.

Just when Xia Anran silently turned her attention to the tall horses in the team, and began to make some shy little ideas, she heard the soldiers report.

The Taifu then informed that Yan Yue met the envoy of the King of Liang earlier, saying that the King of Liang, who is an uncle, heard that his nephew was going to pass by here, so he specially sent someone to wait here and planned to entertain him.

If you want to ask how Xia Anran feels at this time...

Know the old saying, do weasels give New Year greetings to chickens? Xia Anran feels the same as that chicken at this time.

But after thinking about it, he felt that this matter should not be so complicated.

At this time, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion had just subsided, and King Liang stood firmly by Liu Qi's side during the three-month war.

His fief is Liang Guo, and the capital of the country can almost be said to be Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Luoyang City itself occupies a geographical advantage, and it is also the only passage for the east and south to enter Chang'an City.It can be said that if King Liang hadn't defended Luoyang City, the rebel army represented by Zhou Yafu would not have been able to defeat the Seven Kings Company so easily.

In fact, King Liang himself served as the bait in this rebellion. As far as Zhou Yafu's strategy was concerned, King Liang would hold his guns and they would cut off the food roads of Wu Chu's army.

Resisting the crazy offensive of two countries with the power of one country, we can see how tragic the battle in Luoyang City was. It is said that at the most intense time of the war, King Liang and his servants all went to the city wall and were seriously injured.

Therefore, Emperor Han Jing is now full of gratitude and gratitude for his younger brother. Although the emperor's positive emotions come and go quickly, at least it is still a honeymoon period.

Now that the crown prince has not been determined, Liu Wu, who is working hard towards this goal, will naturally not poke his brother's deathbed.In other words, he might just want to help his brother take care of his nephew.

As a well-behaved nephew, what he should do is to be a prop for posing, and then obediently write a letter to his father and grandma after arriving in the fief, praising how hospitable his little uncle is and how he is. Touched so much, in the end, of course, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

After figuring this out, Xia Anran went to the appointment without any pressure.

As he expected, he was warmly received by his uncle as soon as he arrived in Liang Guo.After resting for a night and attending a banquet, his uncle introduced many capable people to him, and then told him some experiences of being a king.In the end, Xia Anran took a small gift bag of love that she had prepared and left Liang Guo.

Considering that according to the Chinese calendar, October of the lunar calendar is the new year, he defined it as an early red envelope.

The little king who received a huge red envelope smiled sweetly.

As an insignificant reward from the younger generation, he did not hesitate to make a big purchase in this lush city of Luoyang thousands of years ago.

Compared with Chang'an City, Luoyang City's transportation is more convenient.

In addition, this place guards the passage from most cities in the southeast to Chang'an, and its degree of wealth is by no means comparable to Xia Anran's small agricultural-based city.

In the tax system of the Western Han Dynasty, the agricultural tax was very low, and the main tax subsidy was dependent on it, such as commercial tax and head tax.After all, he is his father's only younger brother, so it's normal for him to be treated better.

Xia Anran didn't feel jealous at all, on the contrary, he seized the opportunity, walked around the market, and then went back to make a request to his uncle.

He copied Liang's governance, neighborhood settings, and various behaviors for commercial tax payment.

As kingdoms with independent governance rights, they actually have certain taxation rights, which can be slightly adjusted except for the scope stipulated by the state. After all, the taxes collected are the pocket money of the king of the Fan Kingdom.

Basically none of the vassals collected money according to the legal terms, and most of them set up separate names to collect additional taxes.

As the people of the weak side, as long as they don't go too far, the only choice is patience.

Today, the entire country is one of its own except for the prime minister.

However, in such a big environment, the only prime minister would either be assimilated or marginalized, and there was very little he could do.

But it will be hard to say in the future.

As the younger brother of King Liang, he didn't touch his elder brother's brows. He never increased the official taxes, but he added the management fee of the square city and the entry fee to the city.

Yes, these are service charges, not taxes!

He hits a perfect edge shot and speaks volumes.After all, people going in and out will increase the wear and tear of the site. It's all rammed earth, so won't it be loose if you walk more?

The cleaning of the environment in the venue requires additional expenses, and the main targets of the charges are merchants, especially mobile merchants who deliver goods.In the Han Dynasty when merchants were extremely important, naturally no one protested for them.

This part of the expenses will not be said to be arbitrary charges.

And the most amazing thing is that Liu Wu charges according to the number of livestock and trucks.In other words, the bigger the business, the higher the payment.

Xia Anran quietly recalled what he observed at the gate of Suiyang City when he entered the city, and he probably had a solid idea of ​​his uncle's pocket money.

After accumulating enough experience, Xia Anran bid farewell to her uncle.

After a few days of delay, the whole convoy had to speed up.During this period of time, under the explanation of the Taifu, Xia Anran absorbed the mature system of Liang State under Liu Wu's rule, and at the same time analyzed and wrote a draft based on the general situation of Zhongshan State.

The degree of its execution depends on the situation in Zhongshan State itself.

The chariots and horses moved slowly.

Before entering the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, Xia Anran changed into his vassal uniform.

The prime minister of Zhongshan State led civil and military officials to meet him ten miles abroad.When they first met, Xia Anran had a good impression of him as the prime minister.

Although he is a civil servant, the prime minister has a resolute face. Although he is wearing thick court clothes, Xia Anran feels that his abdominal muscles start at least six yuan, and there is no limit to the upper limit.

Real man, don't explain.

Xia Anran silently gave a thumbs up in her heart.

"Chen Zhidu, greeting Your Highness!"

The thumbs up quietly fell down, and a string of question marks immediately hung on Xia Anran's head.

Who are you?He was very impressed with this one.

One is because he was a famous cruel official in the Western Han Dynasty, he was also a capable official, and he was also a famous general who guarded the frontier.

When he was the prefect of Yanmen at that time, the Huns who were still very cruel at that time dared not approach the Yanmen County where he was stationed.

On the other hand, he forced Xia Anran's elder brother, the former prince Liu Rong, to death.

As far as historical records are concerned, the cause of the death of the former prince Rong is not glorious.Because from a historical point of view, Zhidu did not punish the prince. It can be said that Liu Rong's death was caused by his own poor psychological quality.

It can also be said that the culprit who forced Liu Rong to death was not Zhidu, but Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

But no matter what, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty could not leave a reputation of forcing his son to death, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che could not leave a reputation of forcing his brother to death because his father cleared the government and the opposition for him.

Therefore, this blame can only be borne by others, and this other person is Zhidu.

It can be seen from the fact that Emperor Han Jing disobeyed his mother's order and secretly sent Zhidu to Yanmen County as the prefect.Emperor Jing should have some idea of ​​why this happened.

For a father, would he feel that the person who forced his son to death is not worthy of death?Especially in the case that although the son's actions are inappropriate, but the crime does not warrant death, how can he be so magnanimous?

Apart from the possibility that he is ungrateful or really cherishes talents, the only explanation that can be explained is that Zhidu is actually a scapegoat.

However, in Xia Anran's memory, he had a different understanding of this person, and this understanding came from Jia Meiren's broken thoughts.

When Jia Meiren was still Jia Ji, she used to accompany his father to Shanglinyuan.Halfway through the two's garden tour, Jackie went to the toilet. At this moment, a wild boar broke through the palace defenses and rushed into Jackie's toilet.

At that time, Zhidu was the accompanying guard, but he didn't do anything to save people. Liu Qi, who was worried about the beauty, naturally wanted to do it himself. At this moment, Zhidu knelt in front of him and stopped him.

The reason is simple, beauties can be re-elected, but the emperor's golden body cannot be put in danger.

Fortunately, Jackie came out of the toilet safe and sound in the end, and everyone was happy with the result.Because of this incident, Zhi Du fell into the eyes of Empress Dowager Dou, and also into Liu Qi's sight. Since then, he has been promoted all the way, and he has done well.

His father must have done it on purpose, Xia Anran thought silently.

He felt the bad taste from his father.

The author has something to say:

Emperor Han Jing is definitely a terrible character (peasant guess)

I will talk about this later.

There is indeed Jia Ji in Zhidu's story, but I don't know if this Jia Ji is from Jia Mei, because there are very few stories about Jia Mei, who obviously gave birth to two famous sons.

But from her position, it's very subtle.

In fact, when the last record was made, she was Mrs. Jia. The wife is second only to the queen, but at the same time, all concubines can be called Mrs. Wang, so sometimes the concubine is also called Mrs. Wang (especially in film and television dramas) But the concubine Wang has always been a beauty (third level)

Wang Meiren's younger sister was also a wife in the end, but this one was born and died early, and it is estimated that she was named a wife later, and she will definitely not be named a wife beyond Wang's concubine, so I won't talk about it here.

Zhi is a great man, but it is a pity that he died too early.

The author pulled it back and forth, but still pulled it all over. He should still be the prefect on the historical line. (Knock on the blackboard) Don't make mistakes in the history exam questions.

The current North China Plain has a cool and humid continental climate, and the rain belt was still along the Yellow River in the Western Han Dynasty.

The early and late maturation of rice is actually related to sunshine and temperature, but it is also related to the variety. After generations of selection, early-maturing rice and late-maturing rice have been bred.

The explanation is... the growth period, the required light intensity, and the difference caused by the different tolerance to temperature.For example, some seeds like to be warm when they are still young and are not cold-resistant, so they can only be planted later, and some seeds can accept the temperature of more than ten degrees, so they are planted earlier.

Quietly, Mimi said that Mr. Li Zhensheng, a hybrid wheat producer mentioned in the Three Kingdoms volume, actually went in the direction of resistance to stripe rust on the road of cultivating hybrid wheat, but this road is too difficult. In addition, he Using the "distant hybridization" technology, it is impossible to hybridize grass and wheat, so he applied for other research projects, such as lodging resistance, increased tillering, increased yield, drought resistance, etc. A by-product crossed over, and finally "cheat" the research funding to make the final result.

It took 22 years.

One of the Lis of South Yuan and North Li is this one. I introduced this one in the Three Kingdoms volume, so I won’t talk about it here.

The ancient people were not very good at optimizing varieties, and of course they didn't do it at all, but the largest ears of grain were basically...used to worship the heavens.

Gee.

When watching the TV series of the Qing Dynasty, the author looked at the five-color soil made from the legendary "gathering the largest seeds in the country in a year" or the five-color altar, and thought, how good it would be to use the past for genetic optimization!

What a waste!

what! !

By the way, ancient Chinese culture is actually black and white, just don’t like things that are volatile, such as purple. Of course, we know that this color is very noble later, but at the beginning it was despised by people because it said it won blue, Made of red color, I feel that this is not very authentic.

Relatively speaking, our country has always been rarer, like the feeling that blue is better than blue, or black and white.

Touching the chin may be related to the fact that there are many literati in ancient my country, so I hate the kind of people who have no integrity.

Of course, on the other hand, our country mainly spends time on fertilizers, and it is still very powerful in this regard.
