"It is an honor for me to have your favor!"
After some common official courtesies, Zhang Mingtu deliberately showed his excitement and touching expression.
Deep in his eyes, Zhang Mingtu was calm as he looked at the governor quietly.
Its stature is tall, which is in line with the environment of the north. The whole person has broad ears and is very majestic, looking quite dignified.
Zhang Mingtu actually has some research and understanding on the fact that people in the north are taller.
After years of fighting against the northern barbarians, a large part of the related energy and luck of heaven and earth outside the north was unknowingly refined in the north.
Of course, because the method was not right, the refining method was not very reasonable, so there was only partial improvement, which did not bring about big changes to the entire world. It just made the people in the north taller and stronger.
Zhang Mingtu didn't care much about this.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, someone naturally led them into the post station.
After a brief greeting, the Ludi governor went straight to the point: "Dr. Zhang is a brilliant scholar. He has been able to develop a rice variety that doubles the yield. This is truly a blessing for Daxia and the North."
His face was flattering at first, but soon turned to dejection.
"It's a pity that our northern land is bitterly cold and lacks irrigation canals. Even if we had the most superior Dao seeds in the world, we wouldn't be able to promote such a good thing on a large scale. It's truly a pain for our northern land, as it can't benefit the people there."
This time the governor looked very uncomfortable, even covering his face with his sleeves, with tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Mingtu was caught off guard. He had not expected such a change. The Book of Life and Death did not mention this bizarre change in detail.
Fortunately, before coming here, Zhang Mingtu already knew the purpose of the Northern Governor's visit, so he also pretended to be very sad, but at the same time pretended to be confident.
"It is truly my family's fault that such things cannot be gathered throughout the Northland. However, Your Excellency the Governor, there is no need to be too sad. I already have a certain understanding and grasp of this matter."
"Ah?"
What Wang Han was about to say next was suddenly stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.
He acted pitifully and even shed tears despite his status as a governor, just to get Zhang Mingtu to agree to let him go directly to the north.
He had already made up his mind about the promises he was going to make next. As long as Zhang Mingtu was willing to go, he would fully support Zhang Mingtu in becoming the internal official in charge of grain in the entire Lu area. At the same time, he would also fully support Zhang Mingtu in competing for the position of Minister of Agriculture in the future.
Not only that, he will also specially mobilize relevant military merits on land, and let relevant people go to sea on a large scale to gain relevant fame for Zhang Mingtu, so that his position in the Jinyiwei can be further promoted.
This kind of treatment is quite generous for anyone.
But before he could finish his words, Zhang Mingtu suddenly spoke with such confidence, patting his chest, that Wang Han's emotions became incoherent. He opened his mouth and was about to continue speaking.
Zhang Mingtu had already spoken in advance.
"Don't worry, sir. My master has been researching these two varieties for decades. Although he only studies related rice varieties, his fellow disciples are also researching other fine varieties.
I already have a certain understanding and grasp of this. My master has also considered the relevant situation in the North and has assigned relevant tasks to my fellow disciples. We have also gained certain results and achievements in this regard."
The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Wang Han swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words he had just organized into his stomach. Then he became interested in the related improved varieties.
The top-notch varieties are still a secret among the people everywhere, but they are no secret around him and in his ears. After all, in order to carry out large-scale promotion of good varieties, Kyoto has distributed the relevant varieties to various places, and the north is no exception.
That was why he was able to describe in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the relevant varieties, and even went so far as to travel all the way here to bring Zhang Mingtu to the north.
"Oh, I wonder what kind of results can be widely promoted in the North? Can they be harvested on a large scale like fine seeds?"
Zhang Mingtu paused for a moment, then pulled out a plump potato from his arms and said with a smile, "It's even better than the other improved varieties, and can increase the yield to several thousand kilograms."
"What?"
Wang Han widened his eyes. He was not completely ignorant of agriculture. After all, improved varieties were being promoted on a large scale recently.
There are detailed introductions to the relevant per-acre yields, but the best varieties only yield more than 1,000 kilograms per mu, which is already considered the best crop.
Zhang Mingtu said that the round thing in front of him could produce thousands of kilograms per mu. He was a little bit unbelievable. It was much better than the best varieties.
When faced with such news, he was not surprised at first, but rather suspicious.
"Since we have such a good crop, why not report it to Kyoto? Such a high-quality crop will surely shock and inspire the whole of Kyoto."
Wang Han was puzzled, in fact, more of a disbelief, while Zhang Mingtu appropriately made a slightly frustrated expression.
"It's not that the yield is low, but there are a few issues that haven't been resolved. These crops consume too much fertility in the fields. We must use the relevant Yi Wood Essence in the land in advance to nurture it before we can support the yield of these crops."
"At the same time, there is a big problem. If these crops grow for too long, a strange toxin will inevitably spread between heaven and earth.
