Chapter seven hundred and twelve different

Sweet potatoes are also a highly productive and highly adaptable food crop.

But it is impossible to stop the Chinese from starving by relying solely on these two unimproved crops.

But then again, if corn and sweet potatoes can be transplanted successfully, then with the super yield and super adaptability of these two crops, the starvation of Chinese people will definitely be greatly improved. Then Li Yan encourages agricultural research and development and prevents Chinese people from starving.

Li Qingzhao said: "Is corn and sweet potatoes so magical? Where is Meizhou?"

Zhe Yuexiu was actually not clear, so she could only follow what Li Yan said: "I heard that as long as corn and sweet potatoes can be successfully transplanted, it is conservatively estimated that the total grain output can reach at least three or five times the previous one in five years. As for where the US is, I don't know. I heard that it is on the other side of the ocean, and it takes a long, long, long time to reach it."

Li Qingzhao was a little suspicious about what Zhe Yuexiu said, "There is really a place called 'America' across the ocean? Also, does this corn and sweet potato really have such a high yield?"

Although he was suspicious in his heart, Li Qingzhao did not say it, but said: "Does corn and sweet potatoes be grown on such a large piece of land?"

Zhe Yuexiu smiled and said, "How can there be so many seeds and seedlings?" Then Zhe Yuexiu pointed to a piece of land that looked very fertile in the distance and said, "There are only corn and sweet potatoes there and two other pieces of land, and cotton is planted in the rest."

Cotton, Li Qingzhao, who is well-read in poetry and books, knows a little.

According to Li Qingzhao's knowledge, the origin of cotton was the Kingdom of Tianzhu and the Kingdom of Dashi. It had been introduced to China as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties or longer. However, cotton was mostly grown on the border and not introduced to the mainland.

but

Although Li Qingzhao knew about cotton, she was not very clear about the function of cotton, so she asked: "What are you doing to plant cotton and fill the pillows?"

Zhe Yuexiu said: "What my sister is talking about is kapok, not cotton. Cotton can not only fill pillows, but also weave cloth. Planting a large amount of cotton can solve the people's clothing problems."

Li Qingzhao said: "Can cotton still weave cloth?"

Zhe Yuexiu pointed to the cotton armor on her body and said, "The cloth outside my cotton armor is woven with cotton. My sister touched it and saw that although it was not as gorgeous as silk, it was very comfortable to wear."

When Li Qingzhao heard the words, she reached out and touched Zhe Yuexiu's cotton armor, and found that the cloth was indeed similar to what Zhe Yuexiu said, and then it became amazing!

Zhe Yuexiu also said: "Cotton can be made into fabrics of various specifications, from light and transparent yarn to thick canvas and thick velvet. These fabrics are firm and wear-resistant, and can be washed and ironed at high temperatures. My cotton weaving process in Dazhong is actually very mature, but it has not been promoted in the Central Plains. This time, your Majesty asked someone to plant some cotton in the Central Plains as an example. Later, some cotton fabrics will be transported from other regions to sell to the Central Plains, and then promoted them by economic means. In less than a few years, the people in the Central Plains will take the initiative to plant cotton, which will greatly improve the clothing situation of the people in the Central Plains."

After hearing what Zhe Yuexiu said, Li Qingzhao discovered that she might have been wrong. The new emperor seemed to know not only know how to fight, but also know how to govern the country and develop people's livelihood.

In addition, Li Qingzhao discovered that Zhe Yuexiu seemed to know a lot about the new emperor.

Out of a woman's curiosity, Li Qingzhao began to chat with Zhe Yuexiu.

After this conversation, Li Qingzhao realized how great the new emperor was, and then he became interested in the new emperor, and even thought of seeing the new emperor to see if he had three heads and six arms.

Zhe Yuexiu was very talkative, and Li Qingzhao was willing to listen to things about the new emperor.

As the two of them spoke and heard it, the sunset was almost setting.

At this time, a female soldier ran over to find Zhe Yuexiu and said, "Miss, the official... the master is going back."

When Zhe Yuexiu heard the words, she turned her head and found that a large group of people had walked out of the ground.

Zhe Yuexiu cut her forehead and said, "It's delayed the big thing." Then she quickly said goodbye to Li Qingzhao and said, "Sister, I still have something important to do. Let's talk about it next time!" Then she hurriedly led the horse to the group of people.

Li Qingzhao was about to ask Zhe Yuexiu for a contact information so that she could see her again in the future, but before she could open her mouth, Zhe Yuexiu had already led her horse away.

Li Qingzhao looked in the direction Zhe Yuexiu was running and saw a young man with extraordinary demeanor at a glance.

Although the young man was dressed in ordinary clothes and Li Qingzhao could not see his appearance clearly, Li Qingzhao still felt that he was so unique.

Coincidentally, the young man also happened to look at Li Qingzhao.

The two of them just collided with each other...
