Chapter 749 Moxiang Villa
Don’t worry, there are still many entertainment facilities in Shuxiang Academy.
Although other branches do not have many amusement facilities in kindergartens, there are also ways to play like pavilions, towers, viewing the wind and viewing, even fishing, and taking a boat.
But as a companion, most of them will not be too far away from their master.
Other royal relatives and children from aristocratic families also wanted to make a familiar face with the prince and grandson, and did not think about being too far away.
Therefore, the kindergarten amusement area was placed on tea tables and tea chairs, and everyone wrote poems and played chess, which was also a "joyful thing".
When the princes and grandchildren had enough fun and moved their positions, they moved to another place.
Of course, they came to Shuxiang Academy not just for "playing", they came to have tasks.
Every time I come here, there are teachers from Shuxiang Academy teaching them some astronomy, geography, and experimental knowledge that I cannot learn from other places.
The gentlemen were transferred from Jinling and were all specially trained. Compared with the traditional gentlemen they came into contact with, these gentlemen have a more novel knowledge.
They will send a book called "Animal Observation Diary" to tell you what the series of books is said, whether it is true, and where the content of the above view comes from.
If you have any questions and deny the above views, gentlemen also welcome everyone to "argument" themselves.
Then, teach you "observation skills" and how to keep an observation diary.
Some people from the field of agriculture also issued the "Common Agricultural Encyclopedia" to explain the soil and water conditions of the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone can further understand what "one place of mountains and rivers nourishes the other place of people".
Why does it happen that "oranges grow in the south of Huai are oranges, and those grow in the north of Huai are tangerines."
Then, consider on the other hand, since the situation of "Huai Orange is a Citrus" will occur, what issues should agronomists consider when experimenting.
In order to make everyone deeply understand that "farming" is not easy, they will also send seeds to everyone and lead them through the steps of breeding, planting, transplanting, fertilizing, and watering.
What are the priorities about "fatness".
At present, the Daming Institute of Agricultural Sciences has discovered what "fertilization technology" are found, which crops are used for and under which circumstances are the best use.
At the beginning, you were a little unserious when you listened, and felt that with your own identity, you would never be able to do such a low-key job in your life.
However, when the gentleman said that food is the most important thing for people, it means that "food" is very important.
"Don't think this matter is not important. I think the craftsmen and masters of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences are all a bunch of mud legs, and their research is useless."
"I'll ask you, how much grain can the land in the Ming Dynasty produce per a year? How many acres of grain is needed to support a family? How much land does the Ming Dynasty have? If the population of the Ming Dynasty increases, how much land is needed to support these people..."
"The current population of the Ming Dynasty is about...the land is about...the highest yield per mu the year before yesterday was...Average calculations, that is, with the current population of the Ming Dynasty, the grain produced by the land cannot support so many people."
"So many ordinary people can't eat rice, so they can only wrap their stomachs with mixed grains, wild vegetables, etc. They finally fill the gaps and support the whole family..."
"I don't say that the people can eat meat, but that each of them can eat rice. I don't say that I'm completely full, can I eat six or seven percent full, right?"
"This is what the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of the Ming Institute of Research and Development is doing!"
...
Without these data, the Grand Prince Li Ang and others would never know that there are so many people in the world who can't eat enough.
This "rice" is not just rice, but also various other miscellaneous grains and wild vegetables.
As long as it is something that can fill your stomach, the people have found ways to use it, but there are still people who cannot eat enough and wear warm clothes.
This is still the usual thing, what if it is a disaster year?
"The No. 9 greening fertilizer is a new fertilizer that was just developed the previous year. Experiments have started last year, and one acre of grain has increased by about 30%. Don't underestimate this 30%. This is just the experimental results of several farms. What if it can be put into the entire Ming Dynasty?"
"Even if not all Ming land can increase production by 30%, only half of it can create more food for the Ming Dynasty."
"There are also this kind of super pumpkin, the original variety is only that big. Since Super Pumpkin No. 1 was cultivated, each one has at least been so big..."
"Then the Super Pumpkin No. 2, which is not so sweet, but larger, and it looks less than the previous two ideals, and tastes less than the previous two good Super Pumpkin No. 3, but Super Pumpkin No. 3 is more vital, and even a small part of the land is dry and can be grown in places where food cannot be grown."
"Do you know what this means? It means that in places with low grain production, ordinary people can get more food through Super Pumpkin No. 3."
“And Potato No. 19.”
...
As the gentleman introduced the achievements of the Academy of Sciences of the Ming Institute of Science one by one, the princes and grandchildren widened their eyes and couldn't believe it.
In just a few years, this so-called "Academy of Agricultural Sciences" has done so many things?!
Increase grain production, cultivate new varieties, increase plant resistance to diseases, cold and drought, and try all kinds of means to enrich the dining tables of ordinary people.
Their goal is very simple. If it is impossible to cultivate a kind of food to satisfy the belly of all the people in the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, then collect and find or cultivate more things that can fill your stomach.
The corn yield is not high, right?
It's okay, we cultivate pumpkins.
We also found potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes that would not occupy the farmland.
These things can also fill your stomach.
However, the yield of these things is not ideal, and no one has figured out their cultivation methods yet.
But it doesn't matter. Since they found it, start researching it.
Research on experimental fields from all over the country.
Every time an applicable result is studied, it is promoted to the surrounding people to plant it, so that they can help with some "experiments" and expand the experimental data, and if the results are good, they can also give the people a sweet spot.
Only when the people taste the sweetness will they actively and willingly cooperate with Experimental Zhuangzi, and only when there is a new variety next time, they will be willing to help "try-plant".
"Uncle Xiaojiu, is the experiment Zhuangzi real?!" The emperor's eldest grandson Li An was startled and grabbed Master Yao Jiu and asked after class.
Even if he is young, when he hears that the 30% yield increase rate will cover the entire Ming Dynasty, Ang Lee knows how much benefit this change will bring.
In the past, he only felt that Prince Chong’s mansion had many novel foods, but he didn’t expect that behind these foods, there was such a great thing that would benefit the country and the people?!
It was the first time that Yao Jiuye heard such detailed data, and he was a little dumb, but when he heard the inquiry from the eldest grandson of the Emperor, Ang Lee, he nodded softly: "The fact that the experiment Zhuangzi is indeed true. After the Super Pumpkin No. 1 was cultivated, my mother took me to the Zhuangzi to see it. The master who cultivated Super Pumpkin No. 1 was named Feng, and everyone called him Uncle Feng. He also had a disciple named Zeng Xiao, who were all very powerful agricultural researchers..."
However, Master Yao Jiu really didn't expect that the experimental Tianzhuangzi in his mother was so powerful.
Although he had contact with this before, his experience at that time was not as deep as it is now.
