Chapter 79 Li Yuan: Hybrid rice is a real auspicious omen! (Subscribe!)

"Beep!"

The sound of the car attracted the attention of Li Yuan and the other man.

Subconsciously standing on the side of the road.

Looking at the business car curiously.

The two had never seen it before in the Tang Dynasty, and they kept wondering what it was.

The bottom part looks a bit like the wheel of a carriage, but without the horse in front!
Zhu Ming parked the car next to the two of them.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng subconsciously put their hands on their waists.

There are big swords hanging on their waists!
Be prepared to deal with uncertain situations at any time.

Zhu Ming got out of the car and looked at the familiar face.

The identities of the two people were immediately confirmed.

One is Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Being able to come here means that the Xuanwu Gate Incident has not yet happened.

It is still the time when Li Yuan is the emperor.

There is not much difference between Li Yuan and Li Yuan of the Sui Dynasty.

If it weren’t for the system prompt saying that these two guests were from the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Ming felt that he must have recognized the wrong person.

Li Yuan of the Sui Dynasty was not much younger than Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty probably paid more attention to his appearance as the emperor, which made him look younger, so he looks similar to Li Yuan of the Sui Dynasty.

Zhu Ming met Li Jiancheng of the Sui Dynasty when he was still a young man.

The Li Jiancheng in front of him was obviously more mature.

"Old Li and Little Li, it may not be appropriate to say it's been a long time since we last met, so welcome the two of you to the afterlife."

The two looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't know each other!

Li Yuan frowned, thinking that the other person seemed to know him.

I myself have no impression of it.

Short hair.

The clothes are strange and look like those from a foreign country.

And he also calls himself Lao Li.

Don’t say that you have become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty now.

Before he became emperor.

Not many people dare to call themselves that.

They are indeed a foreign country, uncivilized and without any knowledge of etiquette.

I was thinking about asking where this place was later.

Kill it with one sword!
It is an honor for a petty thief from a foreign country to die under his sword!

Li Jiancheng also frowned.

I have never seen short-haired people before.

He looks even younger than me, yet he calls me Xiao Li!
Except when I was on a secret visit, the elders in the village called me that.

Others must call him Young Master.

Things are a bit weird now.

Don't know where this is?

You need to first understand the current situation.

"Haha, long time no see!"

"This guy looks familiar, what's his name?"

Zhu Ming smiled gently:
"Do you think I look familiar?"

"My name is Zhu Ming, Uncle Potato of the Sui Dynasty!"

Li Yuan's brain searched quickly.

I'm pretty sure I've never heard of it.

Uncle Potato, what kind of title is this?
What the hell are potatoes?

This foreign kid is not only rude, but also tells lies all the time.

He is definitely not a good person!
Li Jiancheng thought about it and realized he had never heard of this name.

I didn’t even know that there was Uncle Potato in the Sui Dynasty.

However, Li Jiancheng did not expose Zhu Ming:
"So it's Uncle Potato. How disrespectful!"

"Uncle Potato, can you tell us where this is? We accidentally lost our way and can't find our way back!"

Zhu Ming smiled:
"It would be amazing if you two could find your way back."

Li Jiancheng frowned: "What do you mean?"

Zhu Ming:

"This is Happy Farm, more than 1,400 years after the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng looked at each other.

I thought to myself that the person in front of me was not only telling lies, but was also probably a fool or a swindler.

There are quite a few people like this among them.

As soon as we meet, he tells you that there will be a bloody disaster today, and then continues to deceive you.

When Li Yuan was young, he once secretly ran outside and met an old fortune teller.

Said he was in danger of bloodshed.

Li Yuan certainly didn't believe it.

As a result, he was beaten by the old man and his nose was bleeding.

He insisted that he had not calculated wrongly and took away dozens of coins!

Li Jiancheng smiled and said:
"Potato Bomo, you have to be kidding. We are really lost."

"Please ask Uncle Potato to help show me the way. This jade pendant can be exchanged for some wine."

As he said this, he took out a jade pendant and handed it over.

Zhu Ming took it and took a look. He found that the material was good and it was a good piece of jade.

Put it in your bag.

"I'm not kidding. This is the period more than 1,400 years after the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Jiancheng was stunned. He took the money but didn't do the job!
"Since you said this place is more than 1,400 years after the Tang Dynasty, why do you call yourself Uncle Potato of the Sui Dynasty?"

"Don't you think there is some inconsistency?"

Zhu Ming:

"You can come here from more than 1,400 years ago, so I can naturally go back to more than 1,400 years ago."

"Is that okay?"

"I just came back from the Sui Dynasty some time ago!"

"As for Uncle Tu Dou, it was Yang Guang who conferred the title personally."

When mentioning Yang Guang, Li Yuan's body trembled.

When Yang Guang was alive, Li Yuan was bullied a lot.

Looking back now, I still feel a little traumatized.

Especially after becoming emperor, he always felt that he had snatched the throne from Yang Guang.

Li Jiancheng shook his head:

"How could such a thing be possible? I have read quite a few books, but I have never heard of time travel!"

Zhu Ming:

"Although it's hard to believe, it's true, and you will believe it soon."

"I know you two. I met you in the Sui Dynasty."

"I have to say, Lao Li, you are a Sui Dynasty man with a very good eloquence!"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhu Ming meant.

Li Jiancheng nodded:

"No wonder you know me and my son."

"Since you keep saying that this is 1,400 years in the future, why don't you take us to see it?"

"If it is true, I would also like to see what the era will be like more than a thousand years later."

Zhu Ming:

"Even if you don't tell me, I will show you."

"If you want to visit Datang in the future, you will need someone familiar to help you."

Li Jiancheng:
"If what you said is true, Jiancheng will definitely treat you well when you go to the Tang Dynasty!"

Zhu Ming: "Let's go, get in the car first, we can't stay in the sun."

The two hesitated for a moment and followed Zhu Ming into the car.

Zhu Ming sat in the driver's seat and looked at the two people standing next to him.

"This is the driver's seat. Only one person can sit here. You sit somewhere else."

Lao Li sat in the back.

Li Jiancheng looked at the seats and sat in the co-pilot seat.

Feel free to ask some questions.

"Brother Zhu, what is this thing? It can run without a horse!"

Zhu Ming: "Cars are our means of transportation here."

I stepped on the accelerator a few times.

The speed reached eighty miles per hour.

Li Jiancheng looked at the crops outside and retreated rapidly.

With a look of shock on his face, he said, "What a fast speed! It's much faster than my BMW!"

"I guess cars are rare here too."

Zhu Ming shook his head: "It can't be said that every household has it, but it is a common item and has been popularized for a long time!"

Li Jiancheng was stunned: "How is it possible? In the Tang Dynasty, not everyone has a carriage. Most people don't even have a carriage!"

Zhu Ming: "Times have changed. There are big differences between us and you in many aspects."

“The concepts are different too.”

Li Jiancheng pondered for a moment:
"If it is really a thousand years later, it is not impossible."

"Even cars are common things, so people here should live a wealthy life, right?"

Zhu Ming:

"There will definitely be no problem with eating and drinking."

"You can drink wine and eat meat every day if you want!"

"The lives of the people in your Tang Dynasty are much better."

Li Yuan behind him laughed in his heart.

As for eating, it is still possible.

Drink alcohol and eat meat every day.

Unless you are an official from a noble family, how could ordinary people do that?
In the Tang Dynasty, it was very difficult for ordinary people to have food to eat every day.

Li Jiancheng had doubts in his heart.

The Tang Dynasty had only been established for a few years and was still in the process of striving for world domination.

As the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was responsible for ensuring the logistics of the army.

He is very knowledgeable about the people and farming.

In Li Jiancheng's view, the people of the Tang Dynasty were very hardworking.

But it is very difficult to have meals every day.

Not to mention drinking and eating meat!

Even during the Chinese New Year, I'm afraid I can only smell it.

Li Jiancheng asked in surprise:

"Is it possible that there is good weather and abundant harvest here every year?"

"The fields on the roadside are farmland, and they look like they are growing well!"

Zhu Ming:

"The climate is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. Every year there are severe droughts and floods in some places."

Li Jiancheng became even more puzzled after hearing this.

The Tang Dynasty encountered a disaster year.

Not to mention eating, it would be good enough if I didn’t starve to death.

"Then how do you manage to ensure that everyone has food, wine and meat? Even the landlords don't dare to do this!"

Zhu Ming:

"Compared to the Tang Dynasty, there are some high-yield crops now."

"The water conservancy facilities are well built, and the situation of having to rely on the weather for food has been greatly improved."

"We also have great people here who have greatly increased the rice production to more than ten times that of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuan heard this and stood up in surprise. He bumped his head against the roof of the car.

"Ten times, are you kidding me?"

Li Jiancheng was also stunned.

Sitting in the car, Li Jiancheng still had some faith that it was more than a thousand years later.

But now Zhu Ming's words are getting more and more outrageous.

The little bit of faith in Li Jiancheng's heart was fading away rapidly.

"Impossible. The rice yield in our area is about two stones per acre."

"Ten times that is twenty stones!"

"If it's true, he is definitely a saint, even more powerful than the saints of all ages!"

Zhu Ming: "Then I can take you to see it, and you will know whether it is true or not."

Li Jiancheng: "Can you take us to see it now?"

Zhu Ming: "Yes, it is possible. It seems that a batch is about to mature, but it is a bit far away. You sit tight, I will speed up!"

A kick of the gas.

The car accelerated again.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were shocked.

The speed just now had already shocked the two of them.

I didn’t expect it to be a little faster now.

Li Jiancheng looked at the road ahead.

"Brother Zhu, you said before that cars are very common here. Why haven't you seen any other cars after running for such a while?"

Zhu Ming: "This is not a major traffic route. We are still inside our farm, so there must be few vehicles."

Li Jiancheng was shocked: "Such a good road is not a major traffic artery!"

"In the Tang Dynasty, there is no better road than this."

Zhu Ming: "This is just the road inside the farm. It was built for the convenience of transportation. You will understand when you get outside."

The road is straight!

Eight lanes in both directions.

The gray and black color looks high-end.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng stuck their heads out of the car.

I was so surprised that I couldn't speak.

There are not as few vehicles on the road as there are on the farm.

Back and forth, one car after another.

Traffic lights ahead.

Zhu Ming stopped the car.

Li Jiancheng couldn't help but ask:

"Has something happened up ahead? The cars over here have all stopped, but why are the cars over there still running? Is it the emperor on a tour or some other minister?"

Zhu Ming pointed to the traffic light ahead and said:

"Did you see that thing?"

"That's a traffic light. Stop when it's red and go when it's green. Wait when the yellow light is on!"

"There are so many cars on the road, you can't just run around."

"If there is a crash, not only will the car be damaged, but people may also die."

The two nodded.

It makes sense.

At such a fast speed, if we collide.

It's no small matter.

In the Tang Dynasty, when two horse-drawn carriages collided, sometimes both carriages would be damaged.

Li Jiancheng once had a car accident with someone else.

"Perhaps we can promote it in the Tang Dynasty."

“Especially in those areas where there are a lot of cars.”

Just at this moment, a large truck came by.

It is significantly bigger than the business car driven by Zhu Ming.

Li Jiancheng asked curiously, "Is that also a car?"

"Why is it so big?"

“And the shape is different from other cars.”

Zhu Ming: "That's a truck, used to transport things."

"See the truck bed at the back? As long as you dare to load it, it won't be a problem to carry 100,000 kilograms at a time."

Li Jiancheng was shocked:
"If one hundred thousand jin is used to transport military rations, wouldn't it be enough to support a large army with just a few vehicles?"

Li Yuan: "It is also good for transporting soldiers. This car can accommodate quite a few people."

"If we stack them one on top of another, we can probably transport hundreds of people at a time."

“Plus, with such a fast speed, support can be provided at any time.”

The green light comes on.

The car kept going.

Li Jiancheng looked outside.

"The white lines on the road are used to divide the road. I saw that almost all the cars were driving within the white lines."

Zhu Ming: "Yes, generally speaking, you will drive along the lane. If you change lanes, you need to pay attention to the vehicles behind you."

Li Jiancheng thought it was good.

"Father, we can also divide it in Chang'an."

Li Yuan: "You can do whatever you want when the time comes!"

Ten minutes later.

Zhu Ming went down the main road and came to another field on the farm.

After many twists and turns, we finally found a place where rice was grown.

"This is it. The harvest is about to begin. If you come a few days later, you won't be able to see it."

The three got out of the car.

Li Jiancheng walked to the edge of the field.

Looking at the plump rice ears.

Li Jiancheng was surprised.

In order to understand the various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng has traveled to many places.

I've never seen such a scene before.

Reach out and touch.

Feeling the heavy weight.

It is simply incomparable to the rice from the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan rushed into the rice field.

The body is shaking a little.

Other things can be faked, but the rice fields in front of us are definitely real.

At first glance, you can tell that the output is definitely far greater than that of the Tang Dynasty.

If the rice in the Tang Dynasty could be like this, it would not be impossible for everyone to have enough food to eat.

Even every household has some surplus.

"Okay, okay, that's great!"

“I didn’t expect it to be true!”

"The people of the Tang Dynasty can finally have food to eat."

Li Yuan made a decision immediately in his mind.

Even if it means emptying the national treasury, we must bring the rice here back.

Li Jiancheng had the same idea.

"Uncle Potato, can I buy some rice and bring it back to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Don't worry, the price is negotiable!"

"It will definitely satisfy Uncle Potato!"

Zhu Ming: "That's no problem, but there is one thing I need to explain to you in advance."

"Although these rice plants can be saved for seed, the yield will not be that high."

Li Jiancheng asked in surprise:

"why is that?"

Take out your phone.

Zhu Ming searched for it.

All he knows is that the seeds will not be preserved, but Zhu Ming really can't tell the specific reason.

Fortunately, I have a mobile phone.

The answer can be found online.

“Hybrid seeds are created by combining the advantages of different types of the same species to produce new, superior seeds.”

"If you keep the seeds and self-pollinate, the second, third, and fourth generations will produce 'trait separation', and the various advantages of the combination will be reduced or even eliminated. The more generations there are, the more separation there will be, and the advantages of hybridization will disappear completely."

“So, generally they don’t keep the seeds.”

"Of course, even if we save the seeds, the yield will be much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it can be doubled or tripled."

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It is also possible to double it.

Li Jiancheng asked curiously, "Since we have already produced such a high-yield rice, it shouldn't be difficult to produce rice that can be preserved for seed, right?"

Zhu Ming: "I don't know whether it's difficult or not."

“Our farm buys seeds from seed companies.”

Li Yuan looked at the endless rice fields ahead.

"Now it's time to harvest, why don't you send people to harvest? There are so many fields, if they are not harvested in time, won't it be a waste!"

Li Jiancheng nodded: "With so many fields, we need at least a thousand people to catch up."

The voice just fell.

There was a distant roar.

One rice harvester after another slowly drove over.

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Look, the people in charge of harvesting are here!"

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng looked over.

Apart from the running cars, there were few people to be seen.

He asked in surprise: "You only need so few people to harvest?"

"It will take forever."

"What a waste. In the Tang Dynasty, I would have chopped them off and sent people to harvest the crops myself!"

Zhu Ming: "After the harvest, will they be confiscated and put into the granary?"

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Of course!"

Zhu Ming: "Aren't you trying to steal food?"

"It's better than wasting it!"

Zhu Ming: "It's shameful to waste, you did the right thing!"

"However, our place is different from the Tang Dynasty. Farms all use machines to harvest. If you rely on manual labor to harvest, how long will it take to harvest?"

The three of them were talking.

Then I saw rice harvesters driving into the fields.

Li Yuan was furious: "How can this be possible? You actually drove the car into the field!"

"Didn't anyone stop it?"

"In that case, I will stop it myself!"

Drawing out his big sword, Li Yuan was about to rush forward with murderous intent.

Zhu Ming stopped him and said, "That's a truck for harvesting rice. Just watch it!"

The harvesters hummed.

Harvest quickly.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng walked over quickly.

The driver above saw Zhu Ming.

"Boss, you're here too?"
