Outside the Shengtang Group, Li Chunfeng stood up side by side with a middle-aged man.
"Li Chunfeng, do you think Mr. Zili really has a way to increase wheat production?"
the man asked.
"Jia Junyuan, I heard about it too! You have to ask for details to find out!"
"You are just hearing this, how can you take it seriously? What if you are deceived?"
"That's why I asked you to come with me to verify! I also heard that Mr. Zili has many good books, especially books about agriculture. The number of books is amazing!"
"I don't believe it. Our ancestors passed down the "Essential Art of Elevating the People". Where in the world can there be a book more powerful than this one? I have reason to suspect that he is lying!"
It turned out that this person's name was Jia Junyuan, and he was a descendant of Jia Sixie, an outstanding agriculturist in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Speaking of the book "Qi Min Yao Shu", it was written in the late Northern Wei Dynasty (533-544 AD), which was the Northern Wei period of the Northern Dynasty and the Song to Liang period of the Southern Dynasties. It is a comprehensive agricultural work and one of the monographs in the history of agricultural science in the world.
The book has 92 chapters in 10 volumes. It systematically summarizes the agricultural and animal husbandry production experience, food processing and storage, utilization of wild plants, and famine control methods of the working people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River before the sixth century. It also introduces in detail the seasons, climate, and The relationship between different soils and different crops is known as the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Chinese Agriculture".
According to the information obtained by Li Chunfeng, Li Min had an excellent collection of books, recording a large amount of planting knowledge.
Regarding this, he was ordered by Li Shimin to come and distinguish the true from the false.
But he didn't know much about agriculture.
So Jia Junyuan, an expert in this field, was asked to come to the Shengtang Group to verify the authenticity.
As for Jia Junyuan's confidence in "Essential Art of Qi Min", he feels that no book in the world can compare with it.
The book didn't mention how to increase wheat production.
Otherwise, we would have increased production long ago, why wait until now?
According to historical records, the wheat yield per acre of land during the Warring States Period was less than 100 jins. During the Han Dynasty, it had reached 200 jins. It continued to increase to 300 jins during the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the future, it was only one-third of the future. one.
If wheat production can be increased, it will be a great blessing to all mankind.
Now the people have solved the problem of food and clothing. If there were twice as many people, would they be able to have twice as many people?
Only then would Datang be truly prosperous. Only then can you have more children! Increase population!
But how did the ignorant ancients know that these things existed?
Even Jia Junyuan, a descendant of an agriculturist, couldn't.
But they can't, but they think others can't either.
Therefore, Jia Junyuan arbitrarily believed that Li Min was lying.
Judging from his expertise, it's impossible!
"Whether it's a lie or not, we'll find out if we try it, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to His Majesty!"
Li Chunfeng said.
"That's right! Let's hurry up then. I have some things to deal with in the afternoon, so I can't stay here for too long!"
He obviously didn't want to be entangled with Li Min for too long.
"It's already winter, what else do you want to study?"
"As for some things about agriculture, although I am familiar with "Essentials for Elevating the People", I always feel that my knowledge is lacking. I have to learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and read more about other people's opinions to support it..."
Here he comes again.
"Okay, I get it! Let's hurry up and don't waste your time."
"please!"
The two of them quickly headed to Shengtang Group.
As soon as he joined the group, he met Yuan Tiangang.
"It's Li Chunfeng, what kind of wind brings you here?"
"It turns out to be Yuan Tiangang, long time no see!"
The two of them saluted each other.
As soon as Yuan Tiangang saw Jia Junyuan, he asked:
"This is?"
"This is Jia Junyuan, an agriculturist!"
"Thank you for a long time! You're so polite!"
When Jia Junyuan heard that it was Yuan Tiangang, who was a famous warlock, he did not dare to neglect and immediately returned the greeting.
"Jia Junyuan is polite!"
Yuan Tiangang looked at Jia Junyuan's face for a while, and then smiled with satisfaction.
No one knew what he was laughing at.
"Yuan Tiangang, what are you laughing at?"
Li Chunfeng asked quickly.
"No...nothing. Are you here to find Mr. Zili?"
"Yes, I wonder, is he here?"
"Yes, yes. I happen to be going to look for him too. Can you come with me?"
"That's the best!"
"please!"
So, the three of them headed towards the tenement building together.
Li Chunfeng hasn't been to Shengtang Group for a long time.
A sea change has taken place here.
As for Jia Junyuan, he has never been here before. He was attracted by the scenery here.
Especially the gardens here made him linger.
A group of three people went up the water ladder.
Jia Junyuan was even more shocked.
A lot of jokes were made because of this.
Not interrogating Yuan Tiangang resolved the embarrassment.
"Everyone will be like this when they first ride on this water ladder. You don't have to worry, this water ladder is very safe!"
"It's me who is ignorant!"
Jia Junyuan expressed quickly.
Then he said: "I heard that Mr. Zili's inventions are very good, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today. As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art. Mr. Zili is highly accomplished in this area, but he is weaker in other aspects, right?"
"Whether this is weak or not has to be judged by others. You will know one or two when you meet Mr. Zili."
Yuan Tiangang expressed.
"Really? Then I'd like to take a look!"
Jia Junyuan expressed.
It seemed that he was going to question Li Min as soon as he saw him.
Yuan Tiangang seemed to have seen Jia Junyuan's ending.
He just smiled.
Then he stopped talking.
The water ladder keeps going up.
All the way to the top floor.
Yuan Tiangang led the two of them down the water ladder.
Go to Li Min's office.
As soon as he reached the door, Yuan Tiangang knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
The three of them entered and saw three beauties standing next to Li Min, staring at them.
These three beauties had different postures, and Jia Junyuan was simply stunned.
Jia Junyuan was similar in age to Li Shimin and was a middle-aged man. When he saw the three women, he was also moved.
He didn't move his eyes away, even forgetting where he was.
Until Li Chunfeng touched him.
He just reacted.
"Ruxue, Su Mei and Wu Jue, just follow my plan."
"yes!"
The three of them left the room.
"Li Chunfeng, it's you!"
Li Min waved as he came.
Li Chunfeng and Li Min bowed.
"You're welcome. Is this it?"
Li Min saw Jia Junyuan as soon as he arrived.
I wonder who this person is?
"I am Jia Junyuan, my ancestor Jia Sixie."
Jia Junyuan directly reported his family status.
Li Min directly checked and found out that he was a descendant of the author of "Essential Art for Qi Min".
"Disrespectful! Disrespectful! It turns out that he is a descendant of Jia Lao, the author of "Essential Art for Qi Min"!"
Li Min's performance was impeccable.
Jia Junyuan was shocked.
He didn't expect that Li Min actually knew his ancestor.
Most people wouldn't know him.
You can only understand it unless you have done some research on agriculture.
Therefore, his evaluation of Li Min increased.
"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down!"
Li Min motioned for everyone to sit down.
Still sitting on the sofa, these people were still shocked, exactly the same as before.
Even the reaction is the same.
The two particularly liked the floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed them to see the distant scenery.
After the tea is served.
A few people took a few sips.
Li Min spoke.
"Li Chunfeng, why are you here to find me today?"
Only then did Li Chunfeng realize that he came here for something.
I was so stunned by the nearby scenery just now that I forgot what I wanted to do.
"That's right. It's said that you have a way to increase wheat production. I wonder what it is?"
When Li Min heard this, he realized that this was what he was asking.
That’s why you asked agronomist Jia Junyuan to come with you?
This guy is really careful.
Seeing Li Min looking at him, Li Chunfeng said again: "That's it. Your Majesty really wants to know, so he asked me to come and take a look. And I don't know much about agriculture, so I asked Jia Junyuan to come with him."
So that’s how it is.
"Mr. Zili really has a more powerful method than what is recorded in "Essential Techniques for Qi Min"?"
Jia Junyuan asked, his expression full of disbelief.
This kind of questioning made Li Min a little unhappy.
How dare this guy question the future?
It's time to teach him a lesson.
"There is no method on how to increase wheat production in "Essentials for Qi Min"! I would like to ask Mr. Zili, is your method your own idea, or has it been verified?"
Jia Junyuan is very purposeful.
It's very uncomfortable to say this.
Li Chunfeng said awkwardly on the side: "Jia Junyuan, pay attention to your words!"
"As a heir to agricultural science, I have the responsibility to correct some bad habits."
Li Min just smiled.
"Yuan Tiangang, go get all the books on agriculture!"
"Yes! Mr. Zili!"
"Book? Is it useful? What is written in it? Is there a book as complete as "Essentials for Elevating the People"?"
Jia Junyuan kept talking about "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People". It seemed that he had thoroughly studied this book.
However, this kind of book is still a bit outdated for now.
It’s not that his book is bad, it’s just that it doesn’t apply now.
If it is really applicable, then the grain output will not be so low.
Li Min didn't want to say too much, but this person named Jia Junyuan was too annoying.
So he said: "Jia Junyuan, you said "Qi Min Yao Shu" is so powerful. Can it solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in a limited land? Can it make the breeding industry prosper? Can it make fruit trees bear more fruit? …”
Facing a series of questions from Li Min.
Jia Junyuan was asked.
Yes, you can't!
That book doesn't do that at all.
Take land as an example. You pay a lot but get very little. This is obviously a mismatch.
"It can't be right? Or maybe you haven't studied it thoroughly?"
Li Min looked at him and wanted to laugh.
How many words does that book have? And how can it be possible to buy it all-inclusively and have everything? If this is the case, then you still need yourself?
Jia Junyuan said: "Although I can't, it may be because I haven't researched it in depth, but I believe that it will be possible to study it in the near future. It is the essence of my ancestors' works!"
This guy never stops talking about his ancestors' books every day.
"Then you might want to take a look at my collection of books. Maybe it can open the door to a new world for you!"
Li Min said.
How could Jia Junyuan believe it.
"There has not been much time since the rise of agriculture. I am familiar with all the works. How many books by Mr. Zili can make me feel extraordinary? I may even have read those books! So there is no need!"
When it comes to agriculture, this guy has a huge psychological advantage.
This kind of advantage means nothing to Li Min.
However, he didn't want to irritate him with words, just let him retreat before the difficulties.
"Jia Junyuan, why don't you read Mr. Zili's book? What if you haven't read it?"
Li Chunfeng advised from the side.
Jia Junyuan finally compromised, even though he didn't want to.
"Okay, it's okay to take a look, and I'll give you an explanation when you go back!"
Jia Junyuan said.
This guy gave him some face and went straight to the wall.
But Li Min didn't have any special reaction.
Soon you will know what a slap in the face means!
Until Yuan Tiangang asked someone to bring dozens of books over and put them on the table.
The style of these books is different from the books I have seen! The name is also different, and you can't take your eyes off it even if you glance at it.
Jia Junyuan's attention was directly focused on the book.
"Jia Junyuan, do you want to read the books here?"
Li Chunfeng said.
"What's good to read, isn't it a book? Is there any book more powerful than "The Art of Qi Min"?"
"Are you afraid to read, are you afraid that these books are beyond your scope of knowledge? Are they afraid that they will be more powerful than "Essential Art of Qi Min" and will make you lose face?"
Li Min suddenly said this.
This made Jia Junyuan very unhappy.
"Just watch! What are you afraid of!"
After finishing, he picked up a book and started reading.
Li Chunfeng was looking at the book on the table.
He muttered: "New Technology for Grafting Fruit Trees"
"Aquaculture Operation Skills"
"Wheat Hybrid Improvement Technology"
"Rice-Wheat Hybrid Improvement Technology"
…
"This...these books are amazing."
He was completely shocked. There really is such a professional book.
Jia Junyuan even looked through all the books.
His expression gradually hardened.
He kept talking.
"This is... what kind of divine book! There is such a book in the world!"
"The content in this book has solved my previous doubts!"
"Awesome, really awesome!"
"Hybridization? So that's what hybridization means! These books are simply encyclopedias!"
…
Jia Junyuan kept praising the benefits of these books.
These books were selected by Li Min, is that okay?
He also transcribed it stroke by stroke.
It took him a lot of time.
A lot of effort went into these books.
Jia Junyuan just now said very arrogantly that there is no book in the world that can compare with "The Art of Qi Min"
Now his behavior completely slaps him in the face.
It can be said that all the books here are very advanced.
This is not to say that it is compared with "Essential Art of Qi Min".
In terms of the novelty of the doctrine, it is definitely more advanced.
Therefore, Jia Junyuan felt like he had found a treasure.
Jia Junyuan looked at it for a long time.
The more I look at it, the more frightened I am!
The more I look at it, the more embarrassed I become.
The rudeness just now made him very embarrassed.
Finally he said: "Mr. Zili, I apologize for my ignorance just now. I didn't expect that there are advanced theories in this world!"
Jia Junyuan is still a good person. He says what he says and admits when he is wrong!
Li Min said: "I don't blame you. In fact, I have never been able to find anyone to try many of these things. There has never been a suitable person to verify them and increase production."
The implication of Li Min's words is very clear.
He just needs to find someone to help him turn his theory into reality!
Even a fool can understand this.
Jia Junyuan was not stupid and asked directly: "What do you think of me? Can I do it? How about you let me try?"
From being superior just now, to now striving to perform.
Who knows what kind of changes have occurred in Jia Junyuan's mind.
Even Li Chunfeng felt strange.
Is this the Jia Junyuan I still know?
Jia Junyuan believes that this is an opportunity, a good opportunity to improve himself, how can he give up? If you give up, you may regret it for the rest of your life!
Li Min naturally agreed, this was his purpose!
"Of course it is possible. If you can join me, our Shengtang Group will be prosperous!"
"really?"
"really!"
"Okay, I want to join the Shengtang Group now!"
Jia Junyuan didn't even ask about the salary and wanted to join the group directly.
"Okay, deal, I have a greenhouse that can be used for your research. And I declare here that any profit generated from the cost of future research will be 10% of your profit! And in addition to planting the seeds yourself, In addition, I will also distribute it and plant it for people all over the world."
Li Min said.
These things were copied by him. For this aspect, his practical ability was zero, and he didn't have much time. Jia Junyuan's arrival just solved his pain point.
Jia Junyuan said: "I don't ask for anything in return, as long as my name is added to future publications!"
This is a scientist who ignores all money.
The pursuit of fame is strict.
Li Chunfeng on one side was shocked, and at the same time he understood the purpose of Yuan Tiangang's smile just now.
It turns out that it had long been known that Jia Junyuan would surrender to Li Min. Then she looked at him with a smile and took the initiative to bring them here.
This guy is really strong.
Yuan Tiangang just smiled on the side, as if he had seen through everything.
"Jia Junyuan, I admire you very much. In the future, I will also erect a monument of merit and deeds on the Tang Tower to record everything you have done for Shengtang Group and the people of the world. In the future, I will also set up a merit monument in the newspaper. Promote it so that people will always remember you!"
What Li Min said made Jia Junyuan very excited. You know, this man is just for fame and fortune.
Some literati pay more attention to their reputation, such as Jia Junyuan. If they can be remembered by future generations, then they will be more willing to do things for you.
This is the brilliance of Li Min.
"In this case, I have Mr. Lao Zili!"
"However, this should be given to you, and I will still give it to you. Let's do this. I will give you one million taels first as research funds and for your daily expenses. If it is not enough, come and get it later!"
As soon as Li Min spoke.
Li Chunfeng and Jia Junyuan were immediately stunned.
this……
Are you so proud?
One million taels in one move?
But how could they know that if Jia Junyuan really researched it, the price would be more than that, it would be priceless.
"It's not necessary now because it's winter now. Let's wait until spring, right?"
"No! Start now!"
"But it's so cold now that the crops don't germinate at all!"
Jia Junyuan said.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have a greenhouse for you to use!"
"Greenhouse? But one that can grow vegetables?"
"Of course, you see how much you need. If it's not enough, I'll have someone make it again! As long as you ask, I can make it no matter how big it is!"
Li Min said this.
If you are an ordinary person, you will be extremely moved when you hear this.
Because it was treated with great respect.
The same was true for Jia Junyuan, who almost cried.
"This, I have to go and see!"
"Also, I'll give you something!"
Li Min signaled Xue Rengui to take out a pack of things from behind.
"This is?"
"These are seeds collected by my trustee. They come in different varieties. I know that so-called hybridization requires a huge process and a large number of seeds, so I have people prepare them in advance. You can collect them. If you need anything else, I will tell you. I’ll get it!”
Jia Junyuan took the heavy seed and almost cried.
Suddenly, he knelt down directly towards Li Min.
"Get up quickly, what are you doing?"
"I, Jia Junyuan, will definitely remember your greatness in my heart!"
"I can't do it without you, so I also want to thank you!"
In this way, Jia Junyuan finally surrendered to himself.
This guy will not leave until hybrid wheat and hybrid rice come out.
Moreover, Li Min has more books to keep him.
He is a being with an encyclopedia.
As long as he saves it and searches for it, endless books will come out.
There are all kinds of text, and if he makes this change, future updates will only be faster.
This is a positive change.
"Get up quickly. From now on, we will be a family!"
"Yes! Mr. Zili!"
The behavior of the two people made Li Chunfeng a little excited.
From now on, when the two powerful forces unite, Datang will prosper.
In that future, there will be no more famines.
"By the way, Mr. Zili, I want to start now, can you?"
Li Min stopped.
Jia Junyuan is so anxious to come here?
This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Li Chunfeng said directly: "Jia Junyuan, don't forget, in the palace..."
"Li Chun, please, please resign on my behalf! I will live in the Shengtang Group from now on!"
Li Chunfeng:......
Li Min felt very happy.
"Okay, let's start now, Yuan Tiangang, please arrange Jia Junyuan's residence and the things needed to build the greenhouse. Let the workers work overtime when necessary!"
"Yes, I understand! Jia Junyuan, please come this way!"
Yuan Tiangang said.
Jia Junyuan nodded towards Li Min.
Then he left here with Yuan Tiangang.
As for Li Chunfeng, he stood there blankly.
Don't know what to do.
"Li Chunfeng, why don't you go back and tell him what happened today?"
"Then Jia Junyuan stays here, what should I say?"
Li Chunfeng said that he did not dare to return to the palace.
If you mention this, I'm afraid Li Shimin will be scolded to death.
"Just tell the truth. Don't be afraid. He won't do anything to you. If he dares to blame you, Shengtang Group will welcome you!"
Li Chunfeng:......
In the end, he just smiled and said: "That's it, I'll leave first and say goodbye!"
When he was about to leave after that, Li Min smiled and said, "The door of Shengtang Group is always open for you!"
