That night.
Cao Ang looked at the solid ship plank under his feet.
Looking far into the distance at the endless calm river, my whole heart was filled with a sense of comfort.
He couldn't help but stretch heavily.
Since the attack on Diao Chan and the Queen Mother increased the number of times it took to get the opportunity to board the ship, Cao Ang never counted them in detail.
But I didn't expect that after returning home during this urgent trip, I unexpectedly unlocked an opportunity to board the ship.
This is a very gratifying thing. After all, Dong Bai's serious illness has almost recovered, and he can fish out another item from the river. No matter how you think about it, it will be a huge profit.
And Cao Ang thought about it for a moment.
I feel that the cooling-off periods of Diao Chan and the Queen Mother should be similar, and the difference is just a few days before and after.
That being the case.
Then I will make more trips to the Queen Mother in the next few days, and maybe I can board the ship again.
After thinking about it for a while.
Cao Ang secretly noted this in his mind.
Then he strolled to the side of the boat and without any hesitation, threw out the golden fishing rod in his hand.
Fly into the river with the fishing line.
The wait was less than half a cup of tea.
There was a ripple on the river surface, and the fishing line that went straight into the water began to shake.
It took about a few breaths.
As Cao Ang pulled up the fishing rod, a square brocade box was pulled onto the deck.
…
Casually place the fishing rod against the side of the boat.
Cao Ang couldn't wait to open the brocade box.
What catches the eye are two volumes of thread-bound books. Judging from the outer cover, the workmanship is quite sophisticated. To the touch, the paper quality is also quite good.
What made Cao Ang feel strange was this.
There is no word on the covers of these two volumes of thread-bound books, and when the pages are opened, they are also blank, and not a single word can be found.
Um?
Cao Ang was a little confused.
Could it be that he caught a wordless heavenly book?
According to various routines, this kind of wordless heavenly book usually needs to be roasted with fire or sprinkled with water, which are methods that normal people would not think of, in order to make the writing appear.
But Cao Ang felt that the things produced from this river should not be so cerebral.
This made him take out the book involuntarily, and then rummaged through the brocade box again.
Then he pulled out a large pile of notes.
This time there are words.
Each note contains a noun, and a series of food crops such as "millet", "millet", "wheat" and "rice" are written in order.
Upon closer inspection, there are dozens of them.
These things should be related to the thread-bound books themselves, but I don’t know the specific situation.
After pondering for a moment.
Cao Ang did not dare to act casually, so he chose to put the things back to their original positions, and then quickly came to the stone tablet.
Read the inscriptions on the monument carefully.
…
"Item name: A self-selected booklet on improved methods of breeding, selection and improvement of grain crops.
Function: Each volume of books corresponds to a food crop. After you select the food crop you want, the content of the corresponding crop will be displayed at the top of the wordless book.
Note: Those who use selective breeding and make good use of improvement methods to survive countless people can be called great saints! "
This is the first time Cao Ang has seen an item with such a long name, and it is also the first time he has encountered a treasure that gave him the right to make his own choice.
Among the dozens of major food crops, choose two and stick them on the corresponding books, and the two volumes of books will show the corresponding positions.
Why does it feel a bit like a prop selection box?
It’s really too advanced!
But after sighing.
Cao Ang began to think seriously.
Being able to give yourself the right to make your own choices, instead of forcing him to have a preferred breeding method for food crops, is already considered a considerable privilege.
Then all he has to do is make proper use of it.
Such a great opportunity cannot be wasted.
Choosing one at random and not using it at all right now is a huge waste of this hard-won opportunity.
Cao Ang walked quickly back to the box.
Then he pulled out the pile of notes.
Start picking and choosing carefully.
…
Generally follow the following principles.
One is that they must belong to the mainstream crops of this era. Only when they occupy a larger proportion in the agricultural structure of the Han Dynasty, can they be optimized and improved to cultivate improved varieties, and the cost-effectiveness will be higher.
The second one is that in this era, the crops in the Central Plains, such as corn, sweet potatoes and other food crops, are known to be high-yielding and can bring a large amount of food.
Cao Ang would not choose either.
Because there is currently no such thing in the Han Dynasty.
By the time he finds the seeds of corn and sweet potatoes and cultivates them, everyone in the world will probably starve to death.
No matter how good the future is, if it is not needed now and cannot be quickly transformed into a resource, its priority will be at the bottom.
The last requirement is to improve the difficulty of cultivation, which is also within the scope of consideration.
Although this pile of notes doesn't say who is difficult and who is easy, there are no steps shown before making a choice.
But Cao Ang himself had a basic logical judgment, and he could only rule out food crops that might take a long time, or even expend a lot of manpower and material resources, to improve experiments bit by bit.
It is always impossible to choose a high-yielding crop.
As a result, it took several generations to cultivate and improve it. In that case, a generation of monarchs and ministers may be gone, and this thing has not been improved yet.
What's the point?
Combine the various principles above.
Cao Ang finally made his choice.
…
Look at the notes in front of you.
Cao Ang first moved out millet and bean sprouts. These are two food crops that have gradually withdrawn from the stage of the times and account for a small proportion of the current main grain production.
Secondly, after some ideological struggle.
The rice was moved out again.
One thing that must be admitted is that Cao Ang was very tempted when he saw the rice.
The reputation of this thing is really great!
But after thinking rationally, Cao Ang still had no choice but to give up.
Because the center of gravity of the country is now in the north, and the center of politics, economy, culture, and even population are all in the north.
Compared with the north, the south is in a state of absolute imbalance. Although rice can also be grown in the north, it is far less effective than in the south.
As for the Liaodong area in the north where rice can be grown on a large scale, a small part is currently in the hands of Gongsun Kang, and most of it belongs to foreign areas.
So if you choose rice blindly.
This will lead to improvements being developed but failing to have much effect.
That would be considered blind.
Perhaps after unifying the country in the future, Cao Ang will gradually develop the vast areas in the south and increase the level of development in the south.
But that is also a long process.
It cannot be achieved overnight.
And after the whole country is unified, you can continue to expand to the south and claim it. There is some high-yielding rice there, so there is no need to waste the opportunity now.
So after several exclusions.
There were only two notes left in front of Cao Ang.
"Millet" "Wheat"
This is Cao Ang's choice.
The former is currently the largest food crop in the Han Dynasty, and it plays a decisive role in the proportion of food output in this era.
Although wheat is not as important as millet.
But it has also emerged.
At the same time, wheat is mainly produced in the north. It is a crop that can be developed and bred in the shortest time, and then put into use as quickly as possible to increase food production.
These two are basically the optimal solution after combining all the factors, so Cao Ang did not hesitate to paste the two notes on the two blank thread-bound books.
…
"laugh!"
As Cao Ang makes his choice.
Words gradually began to appear on the two volumes of books, while the remaining unselected pieces of paper spontaneously ignited without fire and soon turned into ashes.
After a while.
Two books filled with text appeared in Cao Ang's hands. The thickness of the books was even slightly different due to different types.
After getting the finished product.
Cao Ang couldn't wait to open the book.
It was densely packed with text, which for Cao Ang, who didn’t know much about agriculture, or even knew nothing except some side news.
These two objects are basically equivalent to the heavenly book.
Unless he can calm down, immerse himself in the book, read through it slowly, and conduct research with the actual objects.
Otherwise, you will definitely not be able to understand it thoroughly.
But at least he can understand the text.
There are some very conspicuous, title-type words, but Cao Ang can still understand the meaning.
Roughly turned over.
The book includes how to choose grain seeds, how to cultivate them, and what operations need to be performed under what conditions to achieve a greater probability of success.
These are all in the book.
And take wheat as an example.
The book also lists the directions for cultivating wheat.
Including high yield, strong adaptability, resistance to diseases and pests, resistance to lodging, temperature and cold tolerance, etc.
…
"Hiss...hoo!"
Closing the book, Cao Ang leaned against the side of the ship with his eyes closed.
The whole person couldn't help but took several deep breaths in succession. He felt excited and his mind was inexplicably gone.
Good stuff, this is definitely good stuff!
After advancing forward, the river surface became extraordinary indeed, and such precious things could be obtained from it.
Anything related to food.
In the feudal economic era, it was enough to be called an artifact of the country, a treasure that was enough to influence the era and be called a decisive treasure.
Whether a country is stable or not depends on the living conditions of the vast majority of its people.
If the vast majority of the people can fill their stomachs, it means that the country is in a stable and prosperous stage. If the people never have the trouble of being hungry, then the country will be stable and stable for a long time.
All activities such as peasant uprisings are basically because the people cannot afford to eat.
Everyone is going to starve to death.
So take the risk and fight to the death.
But if everyone has food in their hands, then basically no one will take risks and risk beheading to go against the country, but will live their own lives peacefully.
This is the importance of food.
…
As long as Cao Ang can successfully evolve wheat and corn, these two food crops even for one generation.
Any aspect such as being able to increase production or adapt to the environment is enough to give him an advantage in the process of growing his power.
Same size place.
The food production produced in the territory under his control is much greater than that of other forces.
Then Cao Ang can recruit more soldiers and horses.
Be able to have the confidence to carry out a larger-scale decisive battle.
At that time, no force in the world would be qualified to engage in a war of attrition with him.
It’s time to compete in productivity.
Any force on either side will be dragged to death by him.
Once the basic agricultural technology is in place, it is like the roots of a tree growing strong, and the branches that go up will naturally grow stronger.
There is no doubt about it.
Even in the future, when the Cao family took the surname Liu instead and established the Wei Dynasty.
You can also rely on such skills.
Let the dynasty continue for another hundred years or even hundreds of years.
all in all.
I definitely found a treasure today!
…
certainly.
Good things are good.
But also put it into practice.
It is useless to stay in theory. You must find a reliable person to gradually turn what is recorded in the book into reality.
It's just a matter of selection...
Cao Ang was slightly in trouble.
For such an important weapon of the country, he must choose someone reliable, that is, someone he can trust completely.
Secondly, it must be capable.
Otherwise, if you only have trust, but you are confused when you hold the book and don't know how to proceed, wouldn't it be the same as being blind?
And if you want to take into account both.
Hiss...it's indeed a bit difficult!
One by one, names spun back and forth in Cao Ang's mind like a revolving lantern.
The figures of many characters emerged.
But he was quickly eliminated.
After thinking for a long time, Cao Ang reluctantly selected a few people.
But will it work?
I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until actual inspection to find out.
He carefully closed the two books and put them back into the brocade box.
Cao Ang closed his eyes.
Then consciousness left the surface of the ship.
…………
The next morning.
Cao Ang looked at Diao Chan who was still sleeping beside him, but did not disturb her sweet dream.
But after gently brushing the hair with your fingertips.
It collapsed silently.
He put on his robe and headed towards the government office.
