Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Ok?

Exchange something with him?

Ying Zheng asked, "What do you want to exchange for this, sir?"

Although he didn't have to exchange anything, he would still pick out some high-quality items and bring them to his husband.

But he was still very curious, what would the gentleman give him in exchange?

this.......

Qi Pan thought for a moment and said, "What do you need?"

what?

What is missing?

Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and began to think.

He has the weapons, and the mine is still forging them day and night.

The horseshoes alleviated the loss of war horses.

Saddles and stirrups increased the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

There are also paper, brushes, tables and chairs, tea sets........

What Daqin lacks most at the moment is time and food.

Although the gentleman has given me the cassava, it has not been planted yet.

It will take at least a year for cassava to be successfully planted and edible.

Ying Zheng looked at Qi Pan and said, "Sir, do you have any high-yield crops?"

"At the moment I just lack seeds."

High-yield crops?

seed?

"It really does."

Qi Pan said, "How about corn?"

what?

corn?

Ying Zheng said, "Okay."

Although he didn't know what the corn looked like, but.

As long as it’s brought out by the gentleman, it’s all right!

Moreover, he believed that the grain seeds that the gentleman had provided would definitely not have a low yield!

"it is good."

Qi Pan said, "Wait for me here, I'll go upstairs and get it for you."

"it is good."

Ying Zheng, Fusu, Wang Wan and others watched Qi Pan's figure disappear at the stairs.

Fusu couldn't help but ask, "Father, what does this corn look like?"

Ying Zheng shook his head, "I don't know either."

what?

Father doesn’t know either?

He just saw his father nodding his head with confidence, and thought he had seen the corn that the gentleman was talking about.

Wang Wan muttered beside him, "I wonder how high the yield of this corn is?"

"I think it should be the same as cassava, with a yield of two tons per mu per year, and a maximum of four to six tons?"

Fusu nodded in agreement, "It should be about the same."

upstairs.

After Qi Pan entered the room, he directly opened the suitcase lying on the floor.

After searching for a while, I found a black plastic bag from a pile of things.

The things in the bag are still a bit heavy.

She opened the bag and picked out a bag of corn seeds.

Then tie the bag back together and stuff it back into the box.

He carried the corn seeds out of the room, closed the door and went downstairs.

After walking to the table, he sat down and handed a bag of corn seeds in his hand to Ying Zheng.

Corn like this.

"Hey, brother, corn seeds."

Fusu and Wang Wan both stretched their necks curiously and looked at what was in Ying Zheng's hand.

Is this corn?

Ying Zheng looked down at the bag in his hand.

Qi Pan said, "This is sticky corn, white in color, and very delicious."

what?

White? ?

Ying Zheng, Fusu, Wang Wan and others looked at the red things in the bag one by one.

There was a moment of confusion in his eyes.

"White?"

Ying Zheng looked up at Qi Pan in astonishment, "Sir, isn't this red?"

Can't you tell the difference between red and white, sir?

"This is the dyed color. The original corn seeds are white."

Qi Pan said, "This is mixed with some insect repellent and fertilizer."

.......

It turns out that it was mixed with medicine and fertilizer that turned it red.

Ying Zheng asked, "What about the corn yield?"

"As for the yield, it's about 500 kilograms per mu, a little less than cassava."

Qi Pan said, “However, corn can be planted twice a year, and the yield is the same as cassava.”

what?

Plant twice a year?

Ying Zheng asked, "Which month is corn usually planted?"

"March and April, and June and July."

Qi Pan said, “We plant twice a year, and then we have to take care of the land in the winter.”

“Give it a break and let it rejuvenate the soil.”

Ying Zheng nodded.

After hearing Qi Pan's words, Wang Wan had already started calculating in his mind the time for planting and harvesting corn.

The first time of planting is in March and April, and the second time of planting can be done in June and July.

In other words, the first batch of grain can be harvested in May or June?

If you start planting on the first day of March, you can harvest by the end of May.

In other words, it only takes more than two months to harvest a batch of corn?

Hey!

The corn harvest time is so fast!

Fusu kept staring at the bag in Ying Zheng's hand. He really wanted to take the corn and take a look.

But since his father didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask.

Ying Zheng noticed Fusu's gaze and recalled what Qi Pan said.

Fusu was driven to Shangjun by him and committed suicide because of him.

I couldn't help but feel a little guilty towards my son.

Never mind. Don’t be too harsh on him.

Ying Zheng handed the bag in his hand to Fusu.

"Take it if you want to see it."

"Hey?"

Fusu's eyes lit up!

"Thank you father!"

He wiped his palms, then carefully took the bag from Ying Zheng with both hands.

The corn rustled in the bag.

Wang Wan, who was standing next to him, also came over to take a look.

Qi Pan said, "This corn has strong vitality, is drought-resistant and heat-resistant, and should be suitable for planting near Xianyang."

"it is good."

Ying Zheng said, "Thank you, sir!"

Qi Pan waved his hand, "Well, you're welcome."

"By the way, brother, I asked you to save the vegetable plot for me before, can I plant something now?"

Ok?

Vegetable garden?

Ying Zheng said, "Sure, sir, what would you like to plant?"

"Let's plant some corn."

Qi Pan said, "Look, we have all the corn seeds, let's plant a few and try it out."

Growing corn?

"Okay."

Ying Zheng immediately stood up and said, "Sir, which piece of land do you think is suitable? Let's plant it now."

It's a good opportunity for him to see how corn is grown.

When I get back, I can instruct people to farm according to the template.

"Okay, let's go out and take a look."

Qi Pan stood up and walked out of the inn with Ying Zheng.

Fusu and Wang Wan also quickly stood up and followed.

They also want to see how to grow corn.

I walked outside and walked around the inn.

Qi Pan pointed to a relatively flat area and said, "Let's go with that piece of land."

"It looks more flat and is more convenient for farming."

Ying Zheng looked up and said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"

Qipan said, "Pulling weeds, clearing rubble, and digging the ground."

"no problem."

Ying Zheng turned around and told Eleven and Twelve to prepare the tools.

Wang Wan, Fusu and Xia Lin were stunned.

What?

weed?

Cleaning up the rubble?

Digging the ground?

Sir, you actually let His Majesty (father) do this kind of work?

And His Majesty (father) has not refused, and even agreed readily? !

Fusu reached out and tugged at Ying Zheng's sleeve, and spoke in a low voice.

"Father, father, please don't do such tiring work."

His father could only live to be forty-nine, and doing these jobs like weeding and digging the ground was too tiring.

It's still hard work.

What if my father's health is ruined?

"I'll do it, you take a rest."
