Wei and Jin cooks

In the first year of Jianxing, although there were occasional minor droughts and floods in various places in the north and south of Jin, they were all staged and could be overcome locally, so it was considered a bumper year overall.

It’s a good harvest. Throughout the year, after the summer harvest of winter wheat, soybeans, millet, millet and rice are continuously sown and harvested.

Millet is yellow rice, one of the five grains, but its yield is very low. Considering the yield issue, Zhao Hanzhang only distributed wheat, soybeans and rice when distributing seeds. However, there were also many private seeds among the people, especially the nobles.

In remote places far away from Luoyang and Yuzhou, stone mills have not been popularized. Wheat rice and bean rice are still the staple foods of ordinary people. Those with better families prefer to eat millet rice and rice, so there are many people growing millet.

After the autumn harvest, farmers would save enough to pay taxes this year and enough for household expenses, and the excess would be sold on the market, so a variety of grains appeared on the market.

In addition to grains, there are also various types of seeds, such as vegetable seeds, hemp seeds, etc.

Zhao Hanzhang ordered Sinong Temple to find various seeds on the market and cultivate them. "In addition to wheat, rice and beans, you should also study the seeds of other crops. The harvest period after wheat matures is very short. Whether it is grown in our Central Plains area, The winter wheat and the spring wheat to be planted in the northern parts of Youzhou and Bingzhou are extremely windy and rainy during the harvest period."

"Once mature wheat falls, it is no different than harvesting nothing. And manpower is always limited, so we need to plant a variety of grains to divert the harvest time."

If it takes ten days for a family of three to harvest ten acres of wheat and transport it home, then twenty acres will take twenty days. The time period is too long, and the mature wheat is likely to suffer from wind and rain, and the overripe wheat will scatter.

In order to reduce losses, it is best to allocate some land and spread out the harvest time. In this way, manpower can be used more rationally and can be slightly trimmed.

Millet and millet are good choices.

Moreover, Ji can make wine.

Just look at Zhao Hu and you will know that drinking is essential for everyone to have a good life.

In addition, Zhao Hanzhang also said: "In addition to the various seeds on the market, you should also collect some seeds in the wild."

The doctor from Sinong Temple wondered: "Seeds in the wild?"

"Yes, wild wheat, wild rice, wild millet, the wheat seeds cultivated from two wheat species with similar characteristics do not change much, and sometimes bad lesions may occur, but two wheat species with very different characteristics can be cultivated To produce excellent wheat seeds and add different new traits," Zhao Hanzhang said: "When I inspected the wheat fields around Luoyang this year, I found that a lot of wheat fell down not long after it hung on the ears. The wind and rain were uncontrollable, so we have to think about it. The method is to strengthen the strength of the wheat so that it will not fall in the face of wind and rain."

The doctor's eyes suddenly lit up. "What the general is saying is that we want our current wheat to mate with the wild wheat that has survived the wind and rain in the wild, so as to borrow their strength?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "You can't just look at the number of wheat ears and think about increasing production, while ignoring other traits. If you can cultivate strong and tough wheat seeds so that they don't fall down, this will also increase production. In addition, there are also There are drought-resistant and flood-resistant seeds, so in the future, people can choose wheat seeds with different advantages according to different local conditions."

“As it is with wheat seeds, so it is with rice seeds.”

The doctor quickly wrote down this matter. He was doing agricultural research and naturally knew that wheat and wheat would mate. They had always selected the best wheat seeds to mate with the best wheat seeds. They had never thought of looking for wild wheat. After all, the harvest of wild wheat is really not high, not tasty, the grains are small, and the ears are short and few. Isn’t this a combination of good quality and bad quality?

But what the general said makes sense. Maybe they can mate three wheat seeds at a time, or cross A and B first, and then cross with the excellent D after getting C. They should be able to get better wheat seeds, right?

No matter, go back and try first.

It just so happens that it's not too cold at this time. If you go into the mountains and look for it, you might still be able to find it. Unfortunately, the winter wheat has been planted, so you can only catch up with next year's spring wheat, or build a greenhouse to catch up with the winter wheat?

While thinking wildly, the doctor bumped into Shen Ruhui, who was walking in front of him with his head lowered in thought.

The doctor suddenly bumped into Shen Ruhui, and his steps were a little panicked. His left foot caught his right foot, and he fell down next to Shen Ruhui.

Shen Ruhui himself was distracted. Before he could recover, he was directly pressed up by Mount Tai and fell to the ground with a snap.

The doctor panicked and wanted to get up, but the more he worked, the more mistakes he made. He pushed Shen Ruhui, who barely raised his head, to the ground again. The officials passing by saw it and ran forward to pull the person up while holding back their laughter. It was not too big a deal to watch the excitement. Said: "Dr. Yu, no matter how dissatisfied you are with Shangguan, you can't beat him."

Dr. Yu was pulled up to stand up. When he heard this, his face turned red. He quickly waved his hands and said, "I didn't, I just didn't see Dr. Shen."

"Mr. Shen is your superior officer. You didn't even see such a big man walking in front of you?"

Dr. Yu scratched his head anxiously and didn't know how to explain it. He really didn't see anyone at that time, and he didn't even remember that he was walking, but they definitely didn't believe it.

Shen Ruhui was pulled up from the ground, and he held his hair in a somewhat embarrassed manner. He frowned when he heard this. He first saluted and thanked the officials surrounding them, and then said to Dr. Yu, "Nothing, let's go back to Sinong Temple together." ."

Dr. Yu exhaled, calmed down a little, said "yes" and followed Shen Ruhui step by step.

"Hey, wait a minute," Li Tianhe stopped him with a smile, "Mr. Shen, is Dr. Yu disrespectful to Shangguan? If you don't punish him, you should let the censor punish him. It just so happens that Lu censor is here. Why not let him make the decision for you?”

Lu Yushi suppressed a smile and said: "Dr. Yu, don't worry. If you can prove that it was an unintentional act, you will be fined at most three months' monthly salary. It doesn't matter."

Shen Ruhui said a little angrily: "He just did it unintentionally and I didn't care about it. Why do you care about it?"

Three months' monthly salary is nothing to Li Tianhe, who has military exploits and trophies, and it is not worth mentioning to Lu Yushi, who has an outstanding family background and rich wealth, but to Dr. Yu, Dr. Yu and others who need monthly salary to support their families. For Shen Ruhui, it was a lot of money.

If his salary is really deducted for three months, Dr. Yu will have to live frugally.

Lu Yushi looked serious, "You can't say that. Beating Shangguan is a business matter. It's Doctor Shen's business if he doesn't care about it. As Yushi, we have to regulate the behavior of officials. Otherwise, if another official does this again, Can’t things that are treasonous and unethical be kept private?”

Shen Ruhui was angry, "You!"

Dr. Yu's face became increasingly pale and he looked at Shen Ruhui helplessly.

The military generals and officials who were watching looked at him in amusement, and said to Shen Ruhui: "Dr. Yu is your subordinate. If you punish him first, Yushitai will not punish him again."

Shen Ruhui is just a stupid person, but not stupid in mind. He is afraid that if he has punished Dr. Yu, the Yushitai will punish him again, so he firmly refuses to punish Dr. Yu and insists that Dr. Yu is only at fault and is not wrong.
