"You need flour and cooking oil to make this."
"As far as I know, there are quite a few soldiers at the border."
"Although our Great Zhou Kingdom is vast and rich in resources, crops are the main crops. However, once a natural disaster occurs, the crop yield will be greatly reduced."
"If we encounter this situation, can we still take out a certain amount of flour to make instant noodles and send them to the soldiers at the border?"
Murong Qingli naturally knew the problem that Si Muqiao mentioned.
"It's difficult!" Murong Qingli said very honestly.
As the king of a country, he has to worry about the economy, military, humanities, legal system and other aspects of the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.
Including grain, although grain is collected in various places every year and stored in granaries.
Including for the military, there is also a fixed amount of food supply and storage.
But natural disasters are not man-made disasters and cannot be avoided at all.
If a drought like the one in Guozhou really happens, we will need to open the granaries and release the grain.
As for the border, if a war breaks out, food and fodder must naturally be supplied.
If we want to solve this problem, we must encourage people to plant more land.
If so, it would be even better if there were a way to increase food production.
He had also discussed this issue with the Minister of Works and others, and those people kept saying that they were trying to find a solution.
Now that so much time has passed, there is still no better solution.
Just when Murong Qingli was thinking about these things, he suddenly heard Si Muqiao's voice again.
【It is not easy to solve this problem! 】
[Or, the country has money and can import food from other countries to ensure sufficient food. ]
[Or, expand food production. ]
【It is not realistic to import from other countries. 】
[In today's world, food is in short supply in every country, so it is impossible to sell it to others for no reason. ]
[If we want to increase food production, we can think of various ways. ]
【Increase the cultivated area and improve the current planting technology. 】
[If only the online computer in my head could connect to the Internet. ]
[I can ask Baidu how hybrid rice and high-yield wheat are cultivated.]
[If I remember correctly, the emergence of hybrid rice has increased grain production by at least 25%. ]
[Unfortunately, I studied clinical medicine in college, not modern agriculture, so I don’t understand.]
[However, if there are other ingredients that can fill the stomach, it would be fine, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes...]
[The Great Zhou Kingdom does have sweet potatoes, but has never seen potatoes.]
[Probably, it hasn’t spread yet. ]
[But luckily, I have some precious potatoes planted in my backyard, hehe. ]
[When the potatoes are ripe, I will stir-fry them, deep-fry them, or steam them...]
"..."After hearing this, Murong Qingli suddenly felt complicated.
It turns out that this seemingly stupid Simi actually has such a smart side?
But what is networking?
What kind of crop is potato?
Who is Baidu? How come she even knows about hybrid rice and increased wheat yield?
No, he must have someone find Baidu.
Even if it means searching the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, it would not hesitate.
Murong Qingli was very interested in what Si Muqiao was muttering in his heart.
When the carriage was moving towards Guozhou, Murong Qingli, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but start chatting with Si Muqiao.
"Erya, how do you think we should solve the problem of food shortage at the border?"
"Ah, I am just a little girl. I don't understand what you are talking about."
"I just had my meal and want to take a nap. I won't disturb you from reading, sir."
After Si Muqiao finished speaking pretending to be stupid, he leaned against the carriage and immediately closed his eyes.
Haha, the dog tyrant is looking for trouble again, right?
She just won't take the challenge, so what?
The questions he asked all involved state affairs.
If even the Ministry of Industry in the imperial court, which is responsible for agriculture, can't do anything about it, what can a little woman like her do?
What I just thought about were just random thoughts.
If she were really asked to explain everything, she really couldn't do it.
After all, there is no internet, so I can’t connect to Baidu.
"..."Murong Qingli.
Is this beauty a pig?
Just eat and go to sleep!
Although Si Muqiao closed his eyes at this moment, he did not fall asleep immediately.
She opened the film and television library in her mind, searched it, and indeed found the movie about Yuan Longping.
This is a movie with a Douban score of 9.1.
She only knew about this movie before, but had never seen it.
Yuan Longping's existence solved the food problem for most Chinese people, and he can be described as a unique national talent.
Simuqiao admired and respected such people very much.
Now, she suddenly wanted to click on this movie and watch it.
Not only did I want to learn more about Mr. Yuan, I also wanted to see if I could find some records about hybrid rice through the movie.
The dog tyrant asked her that question just now, but she dodged it.
But she still wanted to know.
If you can know these and help the people, it would be considered a merit, right?
The movie was really well made and it almost brought Si Muqiao to tears.
Thirty-year-old Grandpa Yuan was a teacher in Hunan. At that time, the style of exaggeration was prevalent and everyone followed blindly.
But Grandpa Yuan told the students not to follow the trend blindly. Science should be rigorous and not tolerate any falsehood.
Then he was reported, but the good thing was that the people above him did not blame him and even had a long talk with him.
Later, when he went to visit, the little girl who was traveling with him suddenly fainted from hunger.
He took out the dry food he carried with him and gave it to the little girl, but the little girl was reluctant to eat it.
When he arrived at the little girl's house, the little girl, who had suffered from the natural disaster, could only treat him with wild vegetable soup.
The little girl wanted to take the rice hanging on the beam to make porridge for him, but she fell down and got her head broken and bleeding.
You know, the entire family's hope for the next year hangs there.
From then on, Yuan Longping secretly vowed to research and develop high-yield grain so that people would not go hungry.
What followed was his arduous and arduous research journey.
During this process, some people played tricks and some people kept failing.
But he has persisted for more than ten years.
The movie describes a dream of Yuan Longping.
He said that he once dreamed that rice was taller than sorghum and its grains were bigger than peanuts, and he sat under the rice ears to enjoy the cool.
After watching this movie, Si Muqiao couldn't help but burst into tears.
Although the movie was less than two hours long, she felt like she had seen most of Academician Yuan's life.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Yuan succeeded!
The dream he had actually came true.
Without him, there would be no China today.
Not only Si Muqiao, but even Murong Qingli, who was secretly watching the film with them, had tears in his eyes.
He was thinking that if there was such a great figure in the Great Zhou Kingdom, he would rather worship him like an ancestor.
Even if he, as the emperor, was asked to carry shoes for others, he would be willing to do so.
Because the man named Yuan Longping in the movie deserves it.
Deserve to be respected and deserve to be treated with courtesy!
"Master Rong, the road ahead is blocked and we can't get through for now. What do you think?"
Just then, Guo Fu's voice came from outside.
