Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1977 Feast of Humanity

Lu Dongzan woke up from the hangover, opened his swollen eyes, and saw that the sun was shining brightly in the bedroom, and the sun was already high.

Shaking his dizzy head, he struggled to sit up from the kang, and wanted to get off the ground, but felt his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't lift his strength.Can't help but sigh, time is not forgiving, when he first became prime minister, he set up a grand plan for Zanpu to govern Tubo, within two years, he traveled to every mountain and every river in Tubo, often sleeping in the wild for more than ten consecutive days , When he met the tribes between the pastures and valleys, he would treat them with dirty wine. He drank quite a lot, and when he got drunk, he was not as energetic as before to embark on the journey the next day?
Where is it like now, a hangover seems to have lost a layer of soul...

The maid of the Fang family went up to help him wash up, brought a set of clean clothes to change, and then brought breakfast to the house.

Drinking sweet rice porridge, eating snow-white steamed buns, and a few plates of crispy and delicious pickles, Lu Dongzan felt very delicious. After drinking three bowls of porridge in a row, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, touched With a bulging belly, he asked, "Where is Erlang?"

While cleaning up the dishes, the maid replied, "Erlang got up before he arrived at Mao, and is currently in the greenhouse opposite."

Lu Dongzan was quite surprised. It is rare for an identity like Fang Jun to get up early and self-discipline, but as a minister of the Ministry of War, he is obsessed with farming, which is simply weird.

Stand up and move your legs and feet, then walk out of the room with your hands behind your hands.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and the cold wind in the mountains lifted Lu Dongzan's spirits, and his dizzy mind instantly cleared up a lot. Standing on the open space in front of the house, he had a panoramic view of the rows of greenhouses in Shanyang. The glass reflects the light against the sun, and it is spectacular at a glance.

Can't help but sigh slightly...

Regardless of the technology of the Tang people in various aspects of farming and iron smelting, it was beyond the reach of Tubo.Just like the greenhouse planting technology in front of him, Fang Jun didn't have the slightest intention to be wary of concealing it, so he just went around and asked Lu Dongzan.

However, as the number one wise man in Tubo, it is impossible for him to copy it to Tubo.

Glass is expensive, light and brittle, and if it is transported back to Tibet from the Tang Dynasty, almost none of it will survive. How much would it cost?Even if it is Tubo Zanpu, it cannot afford such a price.This alone basically cut off the possibility of Tubo building greenhouses.

Not to mention those technologies that are completely different from land crop farming, how can this be learned by just asking?

If the peace between the two countries can be reached, it is natural to ask Datang to add glass and other valuables to the princess's dowry, and even marry some farmers who are proficient in this way. In fact, he already clearly felt the antipathy of Tang's monarchs and ministers towards marriage. If there is no accident, from now on, no foreigner will be able to marry Datang... That is not right, it is very difficult for Datang to marry a princess. But it is still feasible for a princess from a foreign race to marry into the Tang Dynasty.

But such a marriage has a fart use?

Almost all foreigners who want to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, apart from hoping to get political benefits, are nothing more than coveting the dowry of the Tang Dynasty, or the mountain of wealth, or the vast number of craftsmen, or books on farming and iron making...

If the princess is married into Datang, is it possible to marry thousands of war horses to Datang?
No foreigner would do such a thing.

Walking around, along the well-planned path between the greenhouses, they came to a place where many farmers gathered in the greenhouses. If you look carefully, there are many people in green and scarlet official robes. official.Lu Dongzan approached, wondering why these people gathered at the door, craned his neck to look, and was startled, the greenhouse was already full of people...

When the farmers and officials saw Lu Dongzan's arrival, many of them made the Tubo Prime Minister quickly make way for him, and said politely, "Great Prime Minister, please."

Lu Dongzan nodded with a smile, and walked into the greenhouse.

I saw that the greenhouse was full of people against the surrounding walls, most of them were officials in official robes, and there were also many elderly farmers. A burly and strong man with bare feet on his upper body is waving his head, preparing a straight furrow in the land, but it is not deep. Behind him, Fang Jun is wearing a normal suit with the hem of his shirt tucked into his belt. He is also barefoot. , was bending down to plant a green seedling, gently covered the roots of the seedling with the floating soil on both sides with both hands, and then compacted it...

"...Right now, we are planting corn seedlings for breeding, so we must use as much as possible of each seed and each corn seedling cultivated to ensure that we can harvest more seeds to the greatest extent. But wait until the future When planting in the field, the first consideration is the survival rate. It is not acceptable to plant one by one like this. Two to three seeds must be planted at the same time until the corn seedlings grow five or six inches high. , Thin the seedlings again, remove the thin and short ones, and keep the strong ones, so that the yield per mu can be guaranteed..."

Fang Jun planted while explaining, with skillful and light movements, like an old farmer who has worked in the fields all his life...

Someone asked, "Dare to ask Erlang, how much water do these crops need?"

Lu Dongzan followed the sound and recognized him as Yin Yue, the Secretary of Agriculture of the Tang Dynasty, a noble son who became a monk halfway. His father and brother both gained fame on horseback. Supreme Commander.It stands to reason that this kind of "amateur management of technical yamen" is simply playing the piano indiscriminately. If a person who has never farmed a country manages a country's agriculture and mulberry, then there will be chaos in the world?

However, seeing that the serious Yin Yue was able to ask these most crucial words, he knew that his farming skills were not low.

Lu Dongzan thought about it for a while, and then he was relieved.

It must be the books about farming and mulberry farming that have survived in the Si Nong Temple from past dynasties, so that this Si Nong Qing, who was originally just a son of a noble son, mastered the farming technology in the shortest time.

Can't help but sigh again, compared with Tubo, Tang Dynasty's inheritance is too long, and its culture is too prosperous, generation after generation of Han people are determined to write books, even if they die, their thoughts, knowledge, and experience are still alive. They were not buried in the soil together, but handed down through books. Generations of Han people followed the footsteps of their ancestors, inherited the legacy of their ancestors, and continued to carry it forward.

This is the main reason why no matter which dynasty or generation, as long as the Central Plains is stable, the Han people can be above the foreigners.

Their culture has a long history...

He felt emotional in his heart, but he heard Fang Jun say: "...This kind of plant is produced in the New World to the east of the ocean. I call it corn. Why? Its fruit is orange-yellow, lustrous like jade, and the yield is extremely high. High. The most important thing is that this corn is more cold-resistant than crops such as millet, millet, and rice. It can grow vigorously only by ensuring water at critical moments such as seedlings and earing. Most importantly, this The root system of the plant is well-developed, and it can thrive even on the gravel in the mountains, on the river beach, and even in the crevices of rocks!"

There was an exclamation in the greenhouse!
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that once this crop is popularized, Datang will have a lot of more cultivated land out of thin air?Those river beaches, hillsides, ditches, gravel and other lands that were not suitable for growing food can all be used!

Regardless of the output, the land that can be used alone can increase Datang's grain output by [-]%!
Lu Dongzan's eyes were red...

Can't wait to ask: "In this way, doesn't it mean that the barren land in Tubo can also grow this... corn?"

Only then did Fang Jun see Lu Dongzan, thought for a while, and nodded.

In later generations, corn was planted on a large scale in snowy areas, and any place with a lower altitude was suitable for the growth of corn.

As a high-yield crop, corn must be popularized. At that time, the whole world will have to plant it. Even if it is hidden, it will be impossible. Whether it is Tubo, Turkic, or even Goguryeo and Wa, sooner or later they will know about it, and sooner or later they will know about it. Get corn seeds to plant.

This is a feast for all mankind, not about the nation, let alone the country.

Since you can't cover it, why not show your favor and give him a favor?

Lu Dongzan was so excited that his old face was flushed, he tidied up his clothes, bowed to the ground, and paid respects: "Erlang has a deep love and friendship, and the people of Tubo will never forget it!"
