"Your Royal Highness, my plan is this..."
Zhou Zhenwen thought for a while and came up with some arrangements that could be coordinated by the Qingzhou government, including some grains that could increase production, such as super hybrid rice.
Super hybrid rice has a high technological content. It requires continuous optimization of seeds through hybridization technology to maintain yield. Once hybridization is not carried out, it will gradually turn into ordinary rice after one generation and the yield will return to its original state.
It is precisely because of the particularity of this technology that this seed has extremely high value! !
Zhou Zhenwen’s original plan was to plant super hybrid rice on a large scale in Qingzhou. After the first generation, if he wanted to maintain this output, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy seeds from him. In this way, he not only gained a lot of benefits, but also increased his productivity. Qingzhou's grain output has also reduced the price of grain, benefiting the people of Qingzhou.
It can be described as killing three birds with one stone! !
As for other high-yielding crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, since they have little technical content and are easy to copy, Zhou Zhenwen plans to only farm the land under his own influence. Anyway, there is no need to worry about selling these things. Once the output increases, there will naturally be ways to sell them.
After Qingzhou is completely under control, Zhou Zhenwen will naturally relax restrictions.
This is all done step by step! !
"Zhou Shoufu, you actually have such powerful rice seeds in your hands?" The eldest princess Huaizhen was shocked. She just casually tested Zhou Zhenwen, but she didn't expect to find out the big secret?
"If these rice seeds are planted, can they really produce such high yields?"
"If that's the case, Zhou Shoufu, your achievements are unprecedented in history!!"
"I'm just picking up people's wisdom. This technology comes from a grandfather named Yuan. The principle of this technology is actually very simple. In a field, the fruits produced by rice can be large or small, many, some few, some Very special fruits, each one is plump, and the rice grows tall and straight. These are the so-called mutated rice..."
"Grandpa Yuan spent his whole life traveling all over the country. Through his own efforts, he finally hybridized rice and rice, spliced and pollinated each other, and developed a new rice variety. However, this variety also requires continuous hybridization and continuous development. , keep updating to maintain production, which requires continuous efforts..."
Zhou Zhenwen explained the essence of hybrid rice in an easy-to-understand way.
"So that's it. Grandpa Yuan is really a great man... He is now..." The eldest princess Huaizhen remembered that Zhou Zhenwen had just mentioned the word "exhaust one's life", and her heart sank.
"Has passed away..." Zhou Zhenwen sighed quietly.
"What a pity!!" The eldest princess Huaizhen was also a little sad, "But his achievements will last forever..."
"Yes, if you let him come...he won't charge a penny. He will give the seeds to farmers for free. He is a noble person, a person who has escaped from vulgar taste, and he is also a person who cares about the people. , People who have contributed to the country..."
Zhou Zhenwen laughed at himself: "I'm not as good as him, but after large-scale planting in Qingzhou, I will gradually lower the price of seeds until it is consistent with the cost. I will not make any money. I will inherit his legacy and strive to make it available to everyone in the world." To have enough food, to be able to afford food, and not to go hungry..."
"The merit lies in the present, but the benefit lies in the future!!" The eldest princess Huaizhen stood up and saluted Zhou Zhenwen: "Master Zhou, please accept my bow..."
Zhou Zhenwen quickly avoided it and waved his hand: "Your Highness, it doesn't have to be like this!! This is just what I should do. I know that if I use seeds to make money and collect royalties, I can become the richest man in the whole world, even in the world. People, but I don’t want to do this because it goes against Grandpa Yuan’s ideas. He is a respectable person. If you want to thank him, let the world thank him..."
“There are many ways to make money, but I don’t want to do this one!!”
Listening to Zhou Zhenwen's heartfelt words, the eldest princess Huaizhen was also deeply moved. She nodded deeply: "You are so upright and upright... Mr. Zhou, you really impress me!!"
"I just did what I should do..." Zhou Zhenwen said.
"In this case, I will do what I should do. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I will supervise the whole process of Qingzhou's reform. If anyone dares to try to seduce the idea and sabotage the imperial plan, I will definitely not I will let him go." The eldest princess Huaizhen said solemnly.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Zhou Zhenwen said with cupped hands.
"Okay, the matter... I understand now, you can leave." The eldest princess Huaizhen waved her hand, indicating that Zhou Zhenwen could leave.
"Okay." Zhou Zhenwen knew that what the eldest princess Huaizhen said was a double entendre. On the one hand, he said that he could leave, and on the other hand, he said that I will help you keep it a secret when you find someone to pretend to be you. If you want to leave Qingzhou, then leave.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Princess."
After Zhou Zhenwen thanked him, he strode out of the small courtyard.
Zhou Zhenwen returned to his small courtyard.
"How about it?"
"How was your conversation with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
As soon as Zhou Zhenwen came back, Shangguan Yu handed him a cup of tea.
Zhou Zhenwen took the tea cup, looked at the tea in the cup, and put it on the table instead of drinking it.
Seeing Zhou Zhenwen's actions, Shangguan Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition: "What happened?"
"You've been exposed." Zhou Zhenwen said.
"What?"
"impossible!!"
"Absolutely impossible!!"
Shangguanyu's expression changed. She had been practicing various forms of transformation for many years, and she claimed to be the best disguise master in the world. How long had it been since she came out of the mountain this time?
It was actually exposed?
How can this be? ?
"It's true, the eldest princess already knew about your disguise, and she discovered the flaws..." Zhou Zhenwen told all the flaws that the eldest princess mentioned.
After listening, Shangguan Yu sat down on the chair in despair and murmured: "How...how could this happen..."
"Actually, you will expose this matter. I have considered it. After all, you are not me. Some things are not so perfect. It is normal. Your handling method is already very good, but people who are thoughtful will still find problems. There is no perfect replacement. There are clues, which is normal..."
Zhou Zhenwen said with relief: "You don't have to worry, she won't tell anyone. Even if she tells it, it won't have any impact on me. I don't care. There is no evidence. Everything is just speculation."
"Even so, I was still exposed, I..." Shangguan Yuxuan was on the verge of crying, her eyes filled with tears. It was obvious that the exposure of this matter had a great impact on her.
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs... What do temporary gains and losses count?"
"If you fail by chance, you will cry and cry. What will it look like!!"
Zhou Zhenwen stared at Shangguan Yu and scolded: "Stop crying. If you make a mistake, just find a way not to make a mistake next time!! Instead of crying here, can crying solve the problem?"
"I...I know." Shangguanyu stopped crying, his eyes were red.
"I will now tell you some precautions and the next arrangements. Please note them down carefully so that you don't make any mistakes next time..." Zhou Zhenwen's voice became softer and he began to explain what he needed to do after leaving. things, and how to deal with other people’s temptations and speculations.
About half an hour later, Shangguan Yu transformed into Zhou Zhenwen again and sat down.
Zhou Zhenwen nodded, left the small courtyard, and embarked on the road back to the capital.
