Chapter 549: My long-dead high school biology knowledge attacked me!
Upon hearing Bi Qionglan's words, Li Sanniang thought to herself, "Oh ho ho, so this is what she was talking about."
No one present was stupid. In fact, when everyone received Bi Qionglan's invitation, they already had a vague idea in their minds and thought about Bi Qionglan's possible purpose.
At this moment, upon hearing Bi Qionglan mention the words "hybrid wheat," everyone felt a sense of "just as expected."
Everyone looked at the simplified map, which should be of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and remained silent, each having their own guesses about the places that Bi Qionglan had just circled with charcoal.
Bi Qionglan didn't need anyone to say anything. She simply pointed to the circles with her charcoal pencil and said, "The Tang Dynasty's territory is vast at this time, as you and I both know."
I don't know if we come from the same time and space, but I believe that we share a sense of identity with the Chinese nation based on similar cultural backgrounds.
Therefore, I will speak directly.
Bi Qionglan pointed to the circles, "These are the most suitable places to grow wheat. And they are all under the control of Emperor Wu."
Actually, the further south you go, the better it is to grow rice.
However, my main research focuses on hybrid wheat, so I won't say much more about that.
In the future, I can pass on the hybridization method to others and let them study hybrid rice.
However, you should understand that hybrid wheat and hybrid rice are actually produced by selecting the superior traits that humans need to obtain better offspring, thereby further satisfying human needs.
Bi Qionglan turned to the second page, which was filled with words and formulas.
When Li San Niang saw what was written on it, she immediately felt like her brain had been attacked!
What attacked it?
I'm being attacked by high school biology knowledge that's been dead for years!
Next, Bi Qionglan gave everyone a biology lesson, explaining from the basic principles to how to do it and how to succeed.
"To be honest, I've been here for a long time, and this year marks my tenth year!"
I only joined the Ministry of Agriculture this year because my research has yielded experimental results!
That's why Emperor Wu assigned me to the Ministry of Agriculture, ordering me to lead the people there to plant hybrid wheat all over the Tang Dynasty!
A sudden "hiccup" sound appeared on the spot, and not only Bi Qionglan, but everyone in the room looked towards where Xing Yu was.
Yes, that hiccup sound came from Xing Yu!
Xing Yu was startled, and having drunk quite a bit of tea earlier, she suddenly hiccuped while Bi Qionglan was speaking.
"I, I, this was an accident, an accident."
Xing Yu looked at Bi Qionglan ingratiatingly, "Grandma Bi, you don't need to pay attention to me. I'll just have a sip of water to calm myself down. You can continue, continue."
Bi Qionglan turned to the next sheet of paper, on which she wrote down her experimental results.
"Of course, although some achievements have been made, this place is not the same as the world I was in. Some knowledge has not been developed, and the infrastructure is incomplete. These achievements cannot be compared with the world I was in before."
However, at this time and in this place, I, Bi Qionglan, dare to say with my hand on my chest that my hybrid wheat variety must have the highest yield per acre at this moment!
Furthermore, it has certain advantages in other traits, such as lodging resistance, pest resistance, and drought resistance.
"If I had another ten years, I'm confident I could cultivate even better seeds!"
"so what?
So, Grandma Bi, why did you call us here?
"Is it just to tell us the results of your research?"
Ding Mingxuan's voice stopped Bi Qionglan from speaking. Li Sanniang couldn't help but wonder, "Since there have been results, and in such a professional field, why did Bi Qionglan call everyone here?"
show off?
That's unnecessary, and it's not Bi Qionglan's usual behavior.
Chang Siyuan had some thoughts in his mind at this time: "Grandma Bi must have followed Emperor Wu a long time ago, or Emperor Wu should have been the first to travel here and then directly established the Record of Extraordinary People, and had long since begun to monitor all kinds of extraordinary people in various parts of the Tang Dynasty."
More than a decade ago, Emperor Wu's spies discovered Grandma Bi, and the two must have had some contact at that time.
Judging from the policies and measures implemented in recent years, Emperor Wu should be a pragmatic person who cares about the well-being of the people.
The success of hybrid wheat, as Grandma Bi just said, means outstanding yields, which means it can feed more people!
Humans, regardless of time or space, are the most fundamental and important beings.
This was not the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, nor was it a time of major disasters or abnormal weather. On the contrary, it was a time of peace and prosperity. In fact, judging from the recent departure of a large army outside the city to attack the Western Turks, it was essentially an expansion of territory.
Thus, with hybrid wheat that could support the army and the common people with its outstanding yield, Emperor Wu was simply invincible.
What Bi Qionglan did today was probably to make a showdown, or rather, to intimidate others!
To help everyone make the right choices, follow in Emperor Wu's footsteps, and achieve their goals together under this sky.
Bi Qionglan did not respond directly to Ding Mingxuan's words, but instead turned to the next page.
The charts and bar graphs drawn on it are common in modern times. "Actually, I have researched and developed several varieties of hybrid wheat, one of which is a late-season wheat that was just harvested recently."
These past few days I've been taking people to the nearby villages to check on the harvest and yield. Look at this picture; it's data I compiled from seven nearby villages.
Just by looking at the graph, Li San Niang knew in her heart that Bi Qionglan was absolutely telling the truth. After all, data is hard to fake, and the heavy ears of wheat don't lie.
Furthermore, yesterday, when Li San Niang went with the Li family to the wheat field at the foot of the mountain that the Wu family had allocated, she personally touched the wheat ears while picking up the dew-covered wheat.
Indeed, the wheat was so plump and heavy that it bent over. Li San Niang also heard the conversation between Old Man Wu and Li's father. Old Man Wu, an old hand who had been farming for decades, said that the yield of this late wheat was amazing. So how could Bi Qionglan's words be false?
"I'm about to take some people to Wujia Village, which is about ten miles from here, to weigh the items. If any of you are interested, you can come with me."
Bi Qionglan turned to the last page, which listed the most basic needs for establishing and developing a country, from the most fundamental and important agriculture to all other industries.
"I'm going to be frank with everyone today so that everyone can live well in this time and space."
It is fate and opportunity that we can meet here.
Being able to contribute our own strength to this prosperous era makes our journey through time worthwhile.
Moreover, just look at these things. Even if they only achieve the slightest result, it represents a breakthrough for the development of the Tang Dynasty, overcoming barriers that have existed for more than a decade or even several decades.
Trust me, Emperor Wu is not such a petty person. Follow her, walk the righteous path, and you will naturally gain fame and fortune.
Want ideals? You can have them. Want achievements? You can achieve them. Want money? It's even easier.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last time I'm saying this. Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen. Cherish this opportunity to live; that's the real deal."
