Chapter 201: What if the mysterious person stole it?
In spring, it turns warm and cold, and the sunshine at noon is just right.
Outside the Royal Gate, the excitement was still there.
Brother Fourteen handed the sweet potato in his hand to Brother Twelve, and leaned into Brother Thirteen's ear: "Thirteen, it was clear that Brother Four won just now, why hasn't Khan Ama announced the result yet?"
Thirteen took a bite of corn, tsk, his teeth were stuffed again.
"My fourteenth brother must have forgotten that the reason why we came here today is to watch the competition between the prince and the eldest brother."
"but……"
Brother Ten shushed them both: "Look."
The high-ranking emperor put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Then, according to the results on the red paper, the best rice today should be produced by the flower house in Si Age's house."
"Prince, are you convinced by this result?"
The prince glanced at the eldest brother, then at the fourth brother, and after saluting, he said: "Khan Ama, I am actually dissatisfied. Originally, only the eldest brother was competing with the eldest brother, but because of the words of Mr. Dai's family, the fourth brother was able to join. .”
"Compared with the eldest brother's rice, the yield per mu of Erchen's rice is almost the same, so I followed Sifujin's suggestion to cook the rice and choose it."
"Who would have thought that the one selected from the red paper actually belongs to the fourth brother's family. How can I accept it?"
The eldest brother responded: "Yes, Khan Amma. The fourth brother's rice is just the taste of being planted in a flower house."
"If he really wants to participate in the competition, I dare to ask, what is the yield per mu of poor rice fields and good fields?"
The emperor looked at Si Age.
The fourth elder brother came out and said: "Khan Ama, as the prince said, I have no right to participate in the competition today."
"When I joined the household department, I learned that the yield per mu reported by the Cangchang Yamen was a fair number that I had personally tested and measured in the fields of the prince and eldest brother, and calculated it in front of everyone."
"At this time, even if I know what I know and say it rashly, I will win, but it will also be a victory without force."
Zhang Yushu became even more anxious after hearing this.
Originally, he was not optimistic about the competition between the prince and the eldest brother.
If there are good rice seeds, we should study them carefully and then start promoting them.
In front of this royal gate, there is no use fighting for the first place, which is a waste of time for farmers all over the world.
Finally, after struggling for a long time, I came up with a result.
The fourth elder brother is quitting again.
Seeing that the prince and the eldest brother were fighting until sunset with no result, are they going to make the people wait for another year?
Emperor: "Since Yinzhen knows something, just say it. Whether it is true or false, I and the courtiers can make their own judgments."
Fourth Brother: "Yes. I obey my orders."
"The rice variety I hold is called hybrid rice. It has strong disease resistance, high yield and excellent quality."
"Among them, the yield of poor farmland is three stones and nine buckets (570 kilograms) per mu, the yield of good farmland is four stones and seven buckets (686 kilograms) per mu, and the yield of greenhouses is five kilograms (730 kilograms)."
"but……"
Everyone could no longer hear Si Age's "proviso".
I am not in a hurry to eat the new crops in my mouth. How many surprises are there today?
Can you say it all at once?
Even Zhang Yushu almost couldn't stand and wanted to spin around, but was grabbed by Yi Sang'a next to him.
He thought that Yi Sang'a was indeed a veteran who had been in power for nearly thirty years and was more stable than him.
Unexpectedly, Ethan held his heart with his other hand: "Five, five stones?"
Zhang Yushu quickly supported his mentor and colleagues: "Yes, you heard it right. It's five stones."
"...given time?"
Zhang Yushu knew what his mentor meant, and he nodded: "Give it some time."
Five stones will become the average yield per mu across the country. Are we still afraid that some people in the world will go hungry?
The eldest brother immediately shouted: "This is impossible! Fourth brother, how dare you? On a day like today, in front of all the officials and in front of Khan Ama, you tell such a big lie!"
The fourth elder brother knelt down and said: "Khan Ama, I did not lie."
"Perhaps the Ministry of Household Affairs will calculate it separately, and the data will be slightly different, but it is generally within the range stated by Er Chen."
"Of course, the data from the rice experimental fields are only for reference. The yield per mu should be based on the data from various places."
"The number provided by Erchen is just a threshold."
Make statements that are well-founded, steady and steady, and don’t be greedy for success, don’t be aggressive, and don’t be arrogant.
The green fourth elder brother was kneeling now, and his image suddenly became taller among the officials.
Zhang Yushu couldn't help but asked: "Fourth Brother, you have such a weapon in your hand to benefit the people, why didn't you report it?"
Fourth elder brother: "Erchen deserves to die. Erchen thought that he got the rice seeds later than the prince and the eldest elder brother. Thinking about it, their yield value per mu will not be low."
"Besides, any of the other three crops brought to me today will only have a higher yield than hybrid rice."
"It was my son who judged the situation unclearly. It caused a misunderstanding."
The officials felt that they had been greatly stimulated today.
But obviously Brother Si still has surprises.
Zhang Yushu held up the corn in his hand: "Sir Brother said this little thing can produce more than five dan per mu?"
Brother Si nodded: "Yes. Among the three types of corn, the yield is the least. In the south, it can easily reach six stones. In the north, five stones is not a problem."
"As for yellow, round potatoes and red, long sweet potatoes, the yield per acre of these two types is bad land. If it is less than ten dan, it is considered a disaster year. If it is more than ten dan, it is normal."
At this time, even Concubine De was a little anxious. She couldn't help but said: "Yin Zhen, don't speak big words in front of the emperor and all the officials."
Si Age is still calm: "Khan Ama, what Si Fujin said before is that high-yielding crops can double the output of rice, wheat, etc., and it is true."
"That day Khan Amma asked. After returning, my son and ministers studied it carefully and found that as long as they are promoted carefully, any land with high-yielding crops will live up to our expectations."
"High-yielding crops." The emperor repeated in a low voice, "Such a yield is undoubtedly high-yielding."
"Yin Zhen, there are traces of high-yielding crops in the south. It's not unusual to find seeds in Tong'an Huangzhuang."
"Let me ask you, where does the hybrid rice in your hands come from?"
The fourth elder brother looked hesitant for the first time.
How could he explain the evil magic of rejuvenating the country through science and education?
The prince immediately asked: "What? Can't you tell me? Could it be that this hybrid rice came from something wrong?"
Fourth elder brother: "Khan Ama, it's not that my son refuses to tell me. It's that my son promised to keep his secret."
"What I can tell you is that we became acquainted with him because of his imitation of Ruci from the Song Dynasty."
"He risked his life to leave the rice seeds, hoping that his son would not let him down."
"My son has never thought about participating in the competition, and it is because I made a gentleman's agreement with him in advance."
"Please forgive me Khan Amma."
Yinzhen spoke sincerely, and the emperor nodded: "A gentleman observes integrity. I can't blame you."
The eldest brother said: "How can the fourth brother guarantee that this mysterious man is the real owner of the rice seeds?"
"What if he stole it and asked you to help keep it a secret?"
"I will run away."
