Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

After watching the video, Qi Cheng scrolled down and found that there were indeed related videos.

my country's current high grain production is due to high-yield crops. In addition to hybrid rice, high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are also very important.

[Except Heilongjiang, the provinces mentioned above mainly produce corn and wheat.]

First, let's talk about corn. This grain originated in the Americas and was introduced to my country during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It was originally just an ornamental crop.

[After improvements, it later became my country's most important grain, with a yield of about 1200 to 1800 kilograms per mu. Of course, in experimental fields, the yield was even higher.]

Qin Shihuang widened his eyes in shock. It would be great if the Qin Dynasty could produce one-tenth of the grain at that time. How did later generations produce so much grain?

Unfortunately, corn was introduced too late, and now he doesn't even know where America is.

……

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, was sitting in Ganquan Palace. The corn yield was so high, he must find a way to find it. Zhang Qian had not returned yet, so who should he send?

"Your Majesty, this corn must be very far away from us, otherwise it wouldn't have been delivered to us until the Ming Dynasty, who knows how long ago. Our shipbuilding technology is still not good enough, and we can't go to the deep sea."

"I remember that Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to sea. Let's check if there is any relevant information and build a ship that can go to sea first."

"Let Li Guangli do this."

……

Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had just ascended the throne. When he saw the corn introduced by Tianmu, he was very happy. Now the offensive of the Later Jin Dynasty was fierce, and natural disasters continued to occur in the Ming Dynasty.

Having such a high-yield grain can be of some use.

"Wang Chengen, quickly send someone to check for this corn. Once you find it, encourage the people to plant it. Our Ming Dynasty is finally saved. May our ancestors bless us."

Chongzhen also watched the previous video about grain production. Now, among the six provinces mentioned, three are still under his control. As long as he arranges capable officials to go there and adds high-yield corn, he will be able to hold on.

[In addition to corn, sweet potatoes also have a high yield, with an average yield of around 3,000 kilograms per mu. However, eating too much sweet potato can cause acid reflux, so they are generally not used as a staple food.]

There's another story about sweet potatoes. During the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, a scholar named Chen Zhenlong from Fujian Province traveled to Luzon. He discovered that the sweet potatoes on the islands were an excellent food, so he wanted to bring them back to Fujian Province.

However, the export of sweet potatoes from Luzon was prohibited. After being arrested twice, Chen Zhenlong managed to weave the sweet potato vines into the boat's ropes and finally bring the sweet potatoes back to Fujian Province.

[Later, his son wrote to Jin Xuezeng, the governor of Fujian Province, and the sweet potato was promoted in Fujian Province.]

[During the Qing Dynasty, sweet potatoes were popularized throughout the country, and the Kangxi and Qianlong eras are also known as the sweet potato heyday.]

Ming Dynasty

After watching the video, Zhu Di's eyes turned red. Even the small country of Luzon was blocking the sweet potatoes from leaving the island. They should pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

You really deserve a beating!

"Send an order to Zheng He, telling him to go to Luzon and teach their king a lesson. From now on, this high-yield grain should be offered as tribute, and not wait for us to ask for it."

Emperor Chongzhen was sitting in the palace sighing at this time. It was obviously something that had been introduced a long time ago, so how come he didn't know about it, and it instead brought prosperity to the following dynasties?

Are the ministers in the court just there to eat and do nothing?

Qing Dynasty

Emperor Kangxi sat on the kang, watching the introduction on the sky screen, and immediately ordered the crown prince to leave the capital to speed up the promotion of various high-yield grains. With sufficient food, these people would not think about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty all day long.

Qianlong was quite happy when he heard about the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, but he was immediately furious when he heard it was called the sweet potato era. Could it be that the Kangxi and Qianlong eras were not due to his own wisdom, bravery, and humility?

Tianmu is talking nonsense!

……

After finishing his meal, Qi Cheng chatted with a few close friends and then went home.

The video playing on the skylight stopped, and reality reappeared. Ministers and common people from various dynasties looked at the brilliant lights of the future, and many of them chatted while drinking.

It looks like a prosperous era.

Qi Cheng waited for a bus on the roadside and took it home.

……

Qin Shi Huang looked at the large box, which was moving at a considerable speed, and could not understand how it could run without a horse. He ordered Li Si to have the Mohists rush to Xianyang.

He also wants to study this kind of car.

Such a large car can accommodate fifty or sixty people. With a dozen of these, it can accommodate five or six hundred people. It is really convenient.

Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin looked at the straight road and the tall buildings and his eyes were almost popping out. He thought that these buildings built in later generations were also beautiful, but he didn't know where they were.

"Your Majesty, this place is so prosperous, could it be the capital of the future?"

Li Shimin smiled and shook his head.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and explained, "This place is not far from the sea, so it is impossible to be the capital. It would be great if we could contact the people of the future generations so that we can learn about the future."

Li Shimin's two sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, didn't care where they were. Instead, they were still thinking about the barbecue they had just had. They had never eaten some of the seafood there.

I really want to try what it tastes like.

Just when Li Chengqian was about to give orders to the palace servants, Li Tai grabbed his sleeve and told him to look at the sky curtain quickly. He saw the person on the sky curtain coming out of an iron box.

He reached out and pressed the door, and it opened.

The room was not very big and the overall color was white. Before he could take a closer look, the man entered a small room and pressed a button, and a stream of clear water came out.

Is this really from the future? No matter how you look at it, it looks like an immortal.

Qing Dynasty

Empress Dowager Cixi sat there watching calmly. Other things did shock her a little, but wasn't this water just tap water?

Not long ago, she approved a memorial, planning for government supervision and business to bring running water to the capital.

Not surprising.

And in her previous generations, Emperor Qianlong broke several of his beloved large porcelain bottles with heavy makeup because he saw the buses on the sky passing through many prosperous places.

But he found that the city was missing something very important.

It's all over the city.

Logically speaking, such a prosperous city should not be without people, so it was no longer under the rule of the Qing Dynasty in later generations.

How could this not make him angry?

"My Qing dynasty's rule is as solid as a rock. Heshen, if you go down, you'll just write a notice to reassure the people, saying that this is just a small coastal town ruled by the future generations of the Qing dynasty, and there are many cities more prosperous than this."

Heshen retreated with sweat all over his forehead. This emperor was too concerned about his reputation. It was obvious that this city was not under the rule of the Qing Dynasty. This notice was just a laughing stock.

Forget it, just embarrass yourself. If you don’t write it, you might lose your head.
