Chapter 570: Four hundred catties per mu, the audience was shocked!
Chapter 570 The yield per mu is 400 kilograms, the whole audience was shocked!
"do not Cry!"
"It's such a mess and the noise makes us upset!"
"Don't you want the emperor to give you an explanation?"
"The emperor has said that he wants you to go to the Academy of Engineering Sciences, where the emperor will give you an explanation."
After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, these Hanlin scholars stopped crying. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then a group of people ran towards the Academy of Engineering with cheers.
Since the emperor said he would give them an explanation at the Academy of Engineering Sciences, why are they still crying?
After all the academicians had left, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said to the people watching the excitement: "People of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has said that if you also want to know the ins and outs of things, you can go to the Academy of Engineering together."
When they heard that they could go to the Academy of Engineering Sciences to watch the excitement, these common people and businessmen in the capital became excited.
Join in the fun!
Who in the world can refuse to join in the fun?
Nowadays, at the Hanlin Crying Palace Gate, the situation inside is very exciting!
How could the melon-eaters in the capital of the Ming Dynasty give up such a good time? One word spread, and a large group of common people and businessmen also went to the Academy of Engineering out of curiosity. They also really wanted to know what happened to make these things happen.
The self-proclaimed nobleman of Hanlin cried for help.
Soon, as the Hanlin officials arrived at the Academy of Engineering, a large number of onlookers also came, and many officials from the court and ministers of the cabinet also arrived one after another. If it were not for the guards in uniforms maintaining security on site, I am afraid that the Academy of Engineering would have turned into a
The food market is open.
The officials looked at the people gathered around them, and an old scholar couldn't help but frowned: "I came here because the emperor wants to explain to us and the scholars all over the world, why are these people here?"
"Don't you want me to give you an explanation?"
"I specially asked the people of the capital to come and witness. Why not?"
As Zhu Youxiao's voice came, the officials and the onlookers saluted one after another:
"Meet the Emperor!"
Zhu Youxiao walked over in a hurry: "No courtesy, please get up."
Later, Zhu Youxiao looked at the countless people watching around him, and then at the academic scholars in front of him, and couldn't help but frown, these old scholars!
With a cold snort, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Have Zhou Jie's prisoners arrived?"
Zhao Tiejun said: "Go back to the emperor, he has been escorted!"
Zhu Youxiao raised his hand: "Bring him to me."
"promise!"
The Jinyi guards pinned Zhou Jie and others to the edge of the experimental field. Zhu Youxiao glanced at the bastards pinned to the ground in disgust, and then said: "Ministers and common people of the Ming Dynasty."
"I called everyone here today to witness something."
"Wang Tiqian, tell everyone what happened."
Wang Tiqian stood up and quickly explained the whole story.
An old scholar couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and said: "Your Majesty!"
"Then Wang Lichen is just a lowly person in the final analysis!"
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have been like this in all dynasties. When in the Ming Dynasty did any Hanlin official get convicted and imprisoned for beating up a lowly craftsman who brought harm to the country and the people?!"
"The emperor treats talented people like this, how will the ministers and common people in the world treat the emperor!"
Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Bad status?"
"Wang Lichen is a bachelor of agriculture from the Academy of Engineering Sciences, a fourth-rank official of the Ming Dynasty, and an academician of the Academy of Engineering Sciences!"
"Is he causing harm to the country and the people?"
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
The old scholar frowned: "I don't understand!"
Zhu Youxiao laughed even more wantonly: "If you don't understand, I will let you understand!"
"Scholar Song!"
Song Yingxing immediately came out: "I'm here!"
Zhu Youxiao pointed to the experimental field and then to the people watching, and said: "Song, you are also the person in charge of this experimental field. It is up to you to tell everyone what your Bachelor of Agriculture from the Academy of Engineering is doing.
"
Song Yingxing cleared his throat and said loudly: "I am a bachelor of agriculture from the Academy of Engineering. I am studying agriculture according to the emperor's order, with the purpose of increasing the grain yield per mu and increasing the people's rations."
"After all, the Ming Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions but has limited arable land. On the one hand, we, the agricultural bachelors, are experimenting with the yields of various crops grown in paddy fields, irrigated fields, and dry lands. We are also researching fertilizers and cultivating high-yielding crops."
"Bachelor Wang specializes in fertilizers. Now, under Wang's research, a fertilizer that can greatly increase the yield per mu has been developed."
As he spoke, Song Yingxing pointed to the golden wheat field in front of him and said, "Have you seen this experimental field?"
"The yield of wheat grown in this experimental field is more than 400 kilograms per mu! This is the effect of fertilizer studied by Bachelor Wang!"
"And Bachelor Wang is still researching the latest chemical fertilizer, which can increase the yield per mu again!"
After listening to Song Yingxing's words, the people, businessmen and officials who were watching immediately started talking uncontrollably:
"You can produce more than 400 kilograms of wheat per acre? Are you lying?!"
"The emperor is here, how can this be false?"
"Can wheat really yield more than 400 jins per acre? This ten acres of land means more than 4,000 jins of wheat! Oh my God, Bachelor Wang is really amazing!"
Officials with some knowledge and experience in prefectures and counties immediately realized the importance of this fertilizer. If it could really produce more than 400 kilograms per mu, it would prevent many people from starving to death and allow more people to have enough to eat.
!
If they can have full stomachs, people will farm conscientiously, and in times of disaster, they can rely on the stored surplus grain to survive, so as not to become victims of the disaster and cause chaos and riots.
Thinking back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, how did Taizu rise up and stir up rebellion across the Yellow River?
Wasn't it the case that there was a severe drought at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the people had nothing to eat, and countless people became victims of the disaster and were displaced, but the Yuan Dynasty still continued to impose exorbitant taxes, forcing the people to have no other way out, and this is how the Ming Dynasty lasted for 260 years?
If there was a severe drought at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and people had surplus food at home, who would be willing to rebel if they could barely survive?
Zhang Haogu listened to the discussions of the people around him and said to Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei, who were shocked by this per-acre yield: "Huang Xiang, Wei Xiang, you said that Bachelor Wang studied chemical fertilizers, which is right and wrong, and is harming the country.
A strange skill that harms the people, or a national treasure that benefits the country and the people?"
Listening to Zhang Haogu's words, Wei Guangwei was still a little doubtful: "Yuan Fu, is this grain yield per mu really 400 kilograms?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Now is the time of harvest and busy farming. If this grain weighs four hundred kilograms, won't we know by weighing it?"
Zhu Youxiao also had this intention. He immediately ordered: "Come here, harvest the wheat field, weigh it on site, and let the workers and common people see how much food is in this acre of land!"
Soon, the craftsmen of the Academy of Engineering began to harvest the wheat fields. They cut the wheat one crop after another very skillfully, but looking at their clean and neat movements, they were no worse than many old farmers.
This alone makes the people watching feel good:
Chapter completed!
