"How is the situation at the winery?"
Just after Chen hour, Cui Jingtong couldn't wait to ask.
"Master, the advertisement has just been printed not long ago, and many people still haven't seen it. There are only a few people visiting the wine shop. But don't worry, wait until everyone sees the content in the newspaper. Finally, I will definitely go!”
Cold sweat began to break out on Cui Cheng's forehead.
It was him who came up with the idea, but the advertisement was published but had no effect.
You must have not seen the newspaper yet!
right!
That's for sure!
"Well! Just wait a little longer!"
Cui Jingtong nodded and paced back and forth in the yard.
In the next two hours, Cui Jingtong would ask questions every two quarters of an hour. Until two hours later, he couldn't bear it anymore and came to the winery in person to check the situation!
"Half a day has passed, why are there only so few people? Don't they want the free wine?"
Looking at the few scattered people on the street, Cui Jingtong's eyes suddenly turned cold as ice.
"Master, have you noticed? I rarely meet people on this road. It was not like this in the past!"
Cui Cheng saw something was wrong and quickly found the reason.
The street where their wine shop is located is in a busy city, and there are not only ordinary people who usually come to buy and sell, but also hawkers.
But today the streets are empty, even the stalls are gone!
It would be great to have so many people queuing up to receive drinks in front of their winery!
"Huh? It seems like this is really the case!"
Cui Jingtong also discovered that something was wrong.
There are very few people on the street today. No wonder there is no one in front of their wine shop!
"Master, please wait a moment. I'm going to find out why no one came to set up a stall today!"
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
Cui Jingtong waved his hand to urge.
He spent 10,000 gold per day to publish advertisements, but he didn't publish the advertisement yesterday, which resulted in no effect at all.
If there is no effect today, another ten thousand gold will be wasted!
In just a moment, Cui Cheng returned and reported with a grimace, "Go back to the master, I heard from the people that today the court is distributing hybrid rice seeds, and each household is limited to one pound, while supplies last, and the people are running away." Go get the seeds!"
"What kind of hybrid rice? Never heard of it?"
Cui Jingtong's face was filled with questions.
Why didn't he receive any news about receiving rice seeds?
"I heard that it was published in the newspaper. After reading the newspaper, people ran to get the seeds, fearing that they would be gone if they went late!"
"What?"
After Cui Jingtong listened, he quickly took out the newspaper from his arms and searched for content about this hybrid rice.
Sure enough, on the other side of the headlines, I found news about hybrid rice.
The above introduces the yield, taste, planting method and collection location of hybrid rice.
It's just that all their attention was focused on their own advertisements, and they didn't notice them at all!
“The yield of hybrid rice is more than ten times that of current rice?”
"Each household is limited to one pound, and we can go back and cultivate it ourselves?"
"Where did this kind of thing come from? If you don't post it sooner or later, why does it have to be posted when we advertise?"
After reading the content in the newspaper, Cui Jingtong was so angry that his nose became crooked.
Who would drink their wine when they have hybrid rice seeds that can increase yields ten times per acre?
If he had known the news earlier, he would have sent someone to get the seeds too!
But it is definitely too late to go now. After this morning, it is estimated that the collection place is already crowded!
"I don't know, sir. The people only know that the imperial court distributes it for free. As for where it comes from, no one knows!"
Cui Cheng grimaced.
He didn't expect that things would happen by such a coincidence!
"What a bad luck!"
In desperation, Cui Jingtong waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
There was no other way. Giving away hybrid rice seeds was an event held by the imperial court. If his arm couldn't twist his thigh, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Besides, the newspaper said that the seeds are limited and available while supplies last.
When all the seeds are delivered, there will probably be more people on his side!
…
On the other side, Zhang Han opened the warehouse and organized officers and soldiers to register and donate hybrid rice seeds to the people.
Each household can only receive one pound, and you cannot receive it twice!
The seeds are rewards given by the system, and Xiao Zhengtai also invited Ying Zheng and Fu Su to watch!
"Is this the hybrid rice you are talking about?"
Looking at the seeds, which were no different from ordinary rice, Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
"That's right, these seeds were cultivated by my ministers. They not only shortened the maturity time, but also increased the yield by more than ten times. With the addition of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops, the people of Daqin no longer have to worry about food shortages. Got it!"
Little Shota raised his little head slightly proudly.
"Great, now that the drought problem has been solved, it's time for planting!"
After hearing his explanation, Ying Zhengle couldn't close his mouth.
After the rain in Xianyang, he shamelessly asked Xiao Zhengtai to make it rain in other counties as well.
With their previous experience, the Flying Eagles took hot air balloons to other drought-prone areas to create artificial rainfall, and the drought finally eased!
The soldiers of the Flying Eagles also received many rewards!
"How did Feiyu breed hybrid rice? Can you teach Brother Pope when you have time?"
I don’t know when Fusu became interested in high-yielding crops.
On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I lead people to study grafting technology and improve plows.
And he often talks about Xiao Zhengtai's words, "Only when the people's food and clothing are provided for, Da Qin can be more stable!"
Seeing that his son was dedicated to the people, Ying Zheng didn't stop him.
I just sighed secretly in my heart.
This son is good in all aspects, but he doesn't have the domineering power that an emperor should have. If the throne is handed over to him, he will probably be bullied by other countries!
"Brother Emperor, I am planning to establish the Academy of Agricultural Sciences recently, which will specialize in studying high-yielding plants. If Brother Emperor is interested, you can go over there and study with them!"
Xiao Zhengtai said in a sweet voice.
Now that he has almost saved up the money in his hand, it would be better to develop research instead of leaving it to rust.
So he bought a piece of land on the outskirts of the city and ordered Huang Yuan to build two three-story buildings as the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, specifically for research!
"Really? That's great. When the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is established, you must notify me as soon as possible!"
Young Master Fusu suddenly showed a longing look.
He was influenced by Confucianism and had no interest in power or the throne.
After Little Shota came to the palace, he frequently saw all kinds of strange and high-yielding plants, which immediately aroused his interest and determined his goal!
That is to work hard to keep the people fed and clothed, so that every step of Da Qin's progress will be more stable!
"okay!"
Little Shota smiled and nodded, revealing a neat row of baby teeth.
