Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Li Si's Luck

Zhu Dan rushed to the farm without stopping. Seeing Fang Jinyi again, Fang Jinyi was also very happy. "Mr. Zhu, those pesticides you sent over are really useful. A while ago, a batch of our peach and pear trees were sick. I was so anxious watching them wither away day by day. I tried everything, and finally used the pesticides you sent. I didn't expect it to work!"

He tested the pesticide sent by Prince Fusu and found that it did not kill the insects. He was quite disappointed, but he also thought it was normal.

Not all medicines have the same immediate effect as the herbicide pills made by the national master.

It turned out that this pesticide could actually cure diseases of peach and plum trees. Inspired by this, he used it in other places.

It was eventually discovered that this pesticide could not eliminate weeds or insects like the herbicide, but it could restore the health of diseased and declining plants, especially fruits.

Zhu Dan became interested after hearing this and asked Fang Jinyi to take her to see the diseased fruit trees. Perhaps because of the long time, they have recovered and there is no sign of the disease at all.

"Not bad." Zhu Dan nodded as he listened to his description of various treatments. He then asked, "Can you read? If so, please record your experiences. This will be valuable information for future generations to review."

Fang Jin was stunned for a moment before he said, "Master Imperial Master, I have followed your instructions and accepted some disciples as helpers."

"That's different." Zhu Dan shook his head, immediately dispelling the other party's desire to be self-sufficient. "Think about how many students you can teach alone? I plan to open an agricultural school similar to the Jixia Academy in the future. You have two paths to choose from. One is to remain dedicated to the front lines, researching more advanced agricultural knowledge. The other is to transition to a school and teach students. This may involve some work leading students to experimental fields, but the role of a teacher will be more relaxed and stable. It's just not as challenging as the former, nor does it offer the same potential. But in either case, the experience you gain will be your legacy, and countless people will read about it in school..."

Zhu Dan directly painted a picture for him of having many students all over the world and being famous for eternity.

Fang Jinyi, who was originally somewhat reluctant to pass on his experience to others, slowly began to brighten his eyes and he quickly convinced himself.

In fact, only a small part of the experience he possessed belonged to him personally. Most of it came from the inspiration given to him by the arrival of the national master, and then he put it into practice, which sparked countless inspirations.

The national teacher is his benefactor and also his benefactor.

As a reserve farmer who frequently worked with the fields, Fang Jinyi's thinking was relatively simple. He had received help from a benefactor, and in the future, he wanted to be a benefactor and help his previously powerless self. On the other hand, as the Imperial Master had said, achieving success in agronomy wasn't something that could be achieved overnight; it required long periods of practice and the gradual exploration of many people.

Compared to the great prospects that the national master told him, he was really a frog in a well by keeping to himself the little he knew. If the national master could promote him, he could naturally promote another manager as well.

Fang Jinyi immediately said, "I only know a few words. I would like to ask the Imperial Master for help."

Zhu Dan couldn't help but look at Yun Qiu, who immediately said, "I'll take care of this."

"Yeah." Zhu Dan nodded. "Learning to read is really an important skill. When the person arrives, don't sit idle. Learn more from him. You two can be each other's teachers."

This was just a small episode and Zhu Dan didn't pay much attention to it. She cared about the more important seeds.

It was already late October and the weather was cold. Even though Zhu Dan didn't feel the transformation of his luck very clearly, he could tell by the clothes of the people around him.

The only crop that can still be planted at this time is probably winter wheat.

When she came to the farm today, she saw many people busy working in the fields, but the seeds had not been planted yet, they were just taking a break.

Zhu Dan arrived at the right time. As for the oil crops that she was concerned about, they were of course the top priority, but she also did not miss out on some vegetable seeds.

Dissolve the Zi Mu Dan in water and then use the potion to soak the seeds.

As expected, seeds are different from inanimate objects, and the transformation is not as immediate as that of a blast furnace. It was not until half an hour later that it was discovered that the carefully selected seeds had become fuller and rounder.

Yun Qiu quickly recorded the information, and Fang Jinyi observed silently beside him until Zhu Dan figured out the best ratio of the potion and soaking time.

Fang Jinyi watched the changes in the seeds and held his breath several times, his eyes full of amazement.

Although the seeds have not been planted yet and the effect cannot be seen for the time being, just by looking at the quality of the seeds, he knows that it will definitely not be bad.

He truly is worthy of being the Imperial Master appointed personally by the King. He truly possesses divine powers.

He became more and more certain that he should follow the Imperial Master, who was probably the greatest benefactor he could ever meet in his life.

Zhu Dan arranged the planting of winter wheat. As for the other soaked seeds...

It stands to reason that it cannot stay there for long and will sprout soon, but Zhu Dan's hand gently wiped across the seeds, and the medicine on them dried up.

And he didn't know if it was Fang Jinyi's illusion, but he felt that the seeds seemed to have shrunk a bit: "Huh..."

Zhu Dan was used to Fang Jinyi's sudden surprises, so he didn't pay any attention to it. He just looked at Douzhong and had an idea.

She pinched a soybean and poured spiritual energy into it.

In the past, Zhu Dan would not have been willing to be so extravagant, but now - the spiritual energy of the glutinous rice balls is so abundant that they can be filled up every day. If they are not used, it would be a real waste.

So Zhu Dan is not as stingy with his money now as before.

With the infusion of spiritual power, the soybeans took root and sprouted quickly, and Fang Jinyi's eyes widened.

He was shocked to see that the seed had grown into a plant with stretched roots and tender leaves. What else could it be but soybean leaves?

A tiny flower grew among the leaves, the bud bloomed, then quickly withered and a bean pod grew.

As the pods turn yellow and the plant ages, it is time to save them for seeds.

Zhu Dan picked the pod and peeled it open with some curiosity.

"There are actually six beans?!" Even though he had seen this extraordinary scene and the number of soybeans in the pod, Fang Jinyi still exclaimed in surprise.

Zhu Dan couldn't help but ask, "How many beans does one pod of soybeans you usually grow produce?"

"Usually one or two, no more than three," Fang Jinyi said. "Three is enough for me to report to my superiors."

He had never thought that a bean pod could produce six beans, especially since this soybean plant had quite a few pods. If every plant could have such a yield... Fang Jinyi's breathing became rapid.

He quickly grasped the key point: "Excuse me, Imperial Master, this bean plant has such a good yield. Is it because the bean seeds were soaked in potion, or is it due to the Imperial Master's divine power?"

"It's a bit of both," Zhu Dan replied affirmatively. "The Zimu Pill I brought can improve seeds. They'll be even better than the fine varieties you carefully selected. I'm using divine power to grow beans. With the divine power's blessing, the beans will grow perfectly. But your usual planting methods will face various problems, and yields will inevitably decrease. However, even with any significant reductions, you can still maintain approximately... 60%."

She gave a very definite number because Zhu Dan had already simulated it in the simulation room before coming.

Even under various unfavorable conditions such as plant disease, weeds stealing nutrients, and insects eating bean sprouts, the yield in the simulation room can still reach 70%.

To be conservative, Zhu Dan only said 60%.

"I roughly calculated that if we use this kind of bean seeds, the yield per mu will probably reach 300 kilograms!"

"Three hundred kilograms?" Fang Jinyi suddenly raised his voice, "It's not that I don't trust the Imperial Master, but the best condition of our farm can only reach one hundred kilograms of soybeans..." He spoke incoherently and his voice trembled.

This is because the farm belongs to the king, and the conditions in all aspects, such as manpower and fertilizer, are excellent. If it is really distributed to the common people, it is considered good if they can have 70 or 80 kilograms.

Now they said that changing the bean seeds could reach 300 kilograms. This number was too high and far exceeded Fang Jinyi's imagination. His face revealed an expression of shock and confusion.

"Whether it's exactly that number or not, we'll know after we plant the beans next year." Zhu Dan didn't argue with him, nor was there any need to. "Right now, our focus is on this batch of winter wheat."

Fang Jinyi was still in a daze, not realizing what was happening. Zhu Dan frowned and said, "I need you to lead the people in planting this batch of winter wheat and record its progress every day."

Although Zhu Dan has experimented in simulations, the improved seeds can be saved.

However, its characteristics will disappear after the third and fourth generations, and it will no longer be possible to maintain the high yield and drought and pest resistance of the first and second generations.

In addition, there is a difference between reality and simulation, and seeds are of great importance, so Zhu Dan needs Fang Jinyi to do the verification work.

Fang Jinyi shuddered, and finally reacted: "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I have no choice but to do my duty."

Zhu Dan stayed at the farm for seven or eight days, watching Fang Jinyi arrange people to plant the improved winter wheat.

Yun Qiu knew that Zhu Dan liked to record, so he had already found a group of people and trained them on how to record work logs.

So when Zhu Dan needed someone, she immediately found someone.

This time, Zhu Dan kept his composure and did not rush to Zheng Ge to present his treasure.

We have to wait until next year's wheat yield comes out before we can have evidence to support her words.

Even though Zhu Dan knew that Zheng Ge would believe her, she still maintained the rigor of an alchemist.

The matter of improving seeds came to a temporary end, and Zhu Dan's attention returned to Li Si.

Tang Yuan had already handed her the analysis report on Li Si's destiny. Zhu Dan had also been thinking about it during this period and had a vague idea. After returning to Xianyang Palace, she immediately started to design it.

Speaking of Li Si, what impressed Zhu Dan the most was his support for Zheng Ge's change of the feudal system to the county system.

The following two thousand years of feudal dynasties also proved that this system was correct, at least for that era, it was very forward-looking.

Therefore, around this point, Zhu Dan came up with a bold idea.

Changing a country's system is changing the foundation of a country.

Can seeds be considered the foundation of a country? Of course they can.

Not to mention that it was difficult to break away from the limitations of the small peasant society in ancient times, even in later generations, food is the most important thing for people. Who dares to say that they don’t eat rice or vegetables?

The importance of seeds should never be underestimated. Zhu Dan also remembers that in later generations, foreign forces tried to tamper with the seeds. Fortunately, we preserved the original seeds and did not fall into the trap.

So Zhu Dan wondered if he could use Li Si's luck to completely transform one seed into another.

For example, replace soybeans with peppers, and replace wheat with sweet potatoes and potatoes.

It can be said that this idea is very crazy and subversive.

If Zhu Dan were in the world of cultivation now, she would not even think about such things. Even if there were similar transformation pills that could change a person's species, it would only be temporary and more like an illusion.

The illusion is fake, and it will return to its original state once the drug wears off.

Just as after the physical examination machine disappeared, the copper used to build it became a pile of stones more brittle than eggs.

It just so happened that Zhu Dan had a transformation pill in her hand. After some simulation, she found that even if she could use her spiritual power to give birth to the transformed species, and tried to get the seeds of the new species before it recovered, she found that after getting the seeds, it would revert to its original appearance.

For example, soybean seeds are just soybean seeds. Even if they turn into peppers for a short time, you can use them to cook and enjoy the spicy taste. But if you use pepper seeds to stimulate their growth, when they grow up, they will still produce soybeans when the time comes.

Completely divided.

And most likely because it's a living thing, the medicinal power is consumed much faster than other things.

No matter how powerful the Transformation Pill is, it still has its shortcomings. But what if it is a pill made using Li Si's luck?

You should know that after the feudal system was changed to the county system, there was no reversal. Although there have been rebellions by vassal kings in later generations, the vassal kings were ultimately different from those in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
