Chapter 998 Agricultural Miracle

After half a month of lively, the enthusiasm for opening a commercial square began to fade, but tens of thousands of people still flocked to the commercial square to have fun and shopping every day.

Although the discount activity has ended, this novel shopping method has gradually become popular. Liu Bang also carried out activities every now and then under the instruction of Chen Xu, such as discount coupons or deduction coupons in the entire mall, and even a lottery every day. Any customer who spends over 100 yuan can participate in a lottery with the shopping receipt issued by the mall on the same day. The rewards are also varied, including cash coupons for the whole venue and strange small gifts to attract customers' interest and increase the return rate.

In short, after this commercial plaza opened, Chen Xu had copied all the commercial methods of shopping mall promotion that he could think of in the future.

Although the Qin Dynasty was poor, Xianyang was not elsewhere. There were hundreds of thousands of kings, princes, ministers, rich and merchants here, and ordinary people were not ordinary people in remote rural areas. Even the disciples of the hundreds of families who were living in Xianyang now have their own jobs. With the booming business, a large number of literati who could write and calculate were hired by merchants as masters or staff members. The newspapers, arts colleges, science and other institutions recruited tens of thousands of people. These people have a considerable income every month. With the support of these high-income people, the business atmosphere in Xianyang will naturally become more and more prosperous.

It has been the seventh year since Chen Xu traveled through time.

The changes in Xianyang and Daqin in the past seven years can only be described as dazzling. Daqin's grain production has increased by more than three times, and the output of steel and cement has become the biggest driving force supporting Daqin's infrastructure and industrial development from nothing. Various research by the Academy of Sciences has also reached the time period for commercial applications, especially the emergence of bearings, the laying of cement roads, and the development of gears. Simple industrial machines are about to cause a blowout period.

While industry and commerce are booming, culture is also booming. The compilation and publication of various classics, history and collections of newspapers and bookstores are widely spread across the country. The establishment of some county and county universities and middle schools have also begun to integrate into this trend, calm down and study knowledge, and some folk stories and poems have also begun to be published.

After a round of crackdown, the civil unrest was completely calmed down. Under the suppression of military and police in various counties and townships, the idle men and hooligans who used to fight were all honestly started farming and farming, and did not dare to jump or feel dissatisfied, because now the whole country is building roads, and under the promotion of Chen Xu, corvee labor is also greatly reduced. In addition to the necessary military activities and national construction of civilians and servants, a large amount of infrastructure is a business model, and the state invests money.

Bidding, merchants take orders, and how much money they earn depends on the ability of merchants. Commercial activities cannot be recruited for corvee service, so they can only spend money on the construction team to recruit migrant workers or buy labor slaves. The cheapest and best way is to recruit prisoners from various counties and counties, and only need to provide rations, because prisoners are labor reform and do not have to pay wages. If they perform well, they can reduce sentences. If they perform poorly, they will naturally be hungry and beaten. They will not have any good faces for these prisoners from emperors to civilians.

Therefore, the knights who jumped up and down among the people and did not obey the king's law were the worst groups. In the past, they were so awesome with swords all day long. Now they are all carrying water, stones, and roads on construction sites like grandsons. Most of them have words on their faces, and they can't even run away. Once they escape and are caught, they must be sent to Mount Li to build the tomb for the emperor, and they will continue to be a sacred person.

Although Chen Xu also likes martial arts novels and once had a martial arts dream of eliminating violence, safeguarding the strong and helping the weak, he has now become an exploiting class, and these heroes in the world are naturally thorns in his eyes.

In order to prolong the life of the Qin Dynasty, these green forest heroes and swordsmen should all honestly pick up hoes and become farmers who accept labor reform and become a new force in building the Qin Dynasty.

The hero violated the ban with martial arts. Chen Xu felt that the Legalists were right at all. A stable society does not need heroes, and even more so does the hooligans.

Even in the Qin Dynasty, there are still many powerful officials who oppress civilians, and unjust, false and wrong cases are emerging one after another. However, the stability and unity of the Qin Dynasty cannot be challenged, and the self obeys the big self. This is an indispensable pain for the stable development of the Qin Dynasty. There is no absolute fairness or absolute justice in any era.

Everything that is in line with the interests of the ruling class is the best.

The various reforms promoted by Chen Xu are also constantly driving the development of people's livelihood at the bottom in the process of compromising with the Qin nobles.

Any reform and development is a political product of constant compromise.

If you can't compromise, it will be a life-and-death battle.

Li Si's old Legalists finally couldn't stand the young junior Chen Xu. After he died, he had reached the point where Chen Xu almost covered the sky in the court.

After Chen Xu was ambushed, the emperor changed his hesitation and began to strongly support Chen Xu's reforms because he could not afford to lose the protection of his disciples of the Immortal Family.

The glass greenhouse has been built for more than a month, and the various vegetable seedlings and melon seedlings inside are growing well.

The sun shines through hundreds of fast glass windows on the top. The whole greenhouse is not only as warm as spring, but also full of sunshine. Coriander, green onion seedlings, carrots and even some other vegetables are green and vibrant. The eggplant seedlings have risen to nearly three feet high. Purple buds have begun to appear between the branches and leaves. On the cucumber vines that are covered with vines, tender thorns are also beginning to appear, and buds are also beginning to appear at the top. Watermelon cantaloupe crawls on the ground, with burrs on the thick stems, and the wide leaves are also hidden in the tender yellow buds.

The various flowers and plants planted by Xing'er Yu Ji, Meng Wan and others on the edge of the greenhouse also grew lushly, and roses and roses also erupted colorful buds.

In this cold winter when everything withered and withered, the unique green scenery that appeared in the greenhouse almost became a sensation in Xianyang, and the discussion and excitement caused was no less than the opening of Cuju Commercial Plaza.

The Daqin Metropolis Daily has published the unique landscape of the glass greenhouse on its headlines in several consecutive editions, and is hailed by agronomists as the greatest agricultural innovation in history.

A group of professors and students from the Agricultural College have people who stay in the greenhouse to observe and record almost all day long. Although the phenomena in the greenhouse are seen every day, whenever the straw curtain is opened and entered the greenhouse, everyone is still as surprised and excited as the first time, full of admiration for Qinghehou.

Chen Xu also goes to the greenhouse to observe every day, and after school, Xing'er and Yu Ji sometimes take a group of classmates to the greenhouse to watch the flowers and plants they planted. The water is gentle, Ying Shiman and Meng Wan are the same. They run into the greenhouse every day. Watching the growth of vegetables, fruits and melons has become the most interesting thing for their family this winter.

"Husband, come, are there several flowers blooming today?"

On that day, Chen Xusan returned home. As soon as he walked into the greenhouse, Shui Qingrou smiled and greeted her with a smile. Her beautiful cheeks were full of excitement and excitement.

"Where is it, let me see!" Chen Xu was also very happy.

"Husband, come with me!" Shui gently held Chen Xu's hand and came to the front of a clump of cucumber racks. Sure enough, between the green leaves and the vines stretching tendrils, the tops of several crispy and tender cucumber cucumbers had yellow flowers blooming, which looked extremely fresh and pleasing to the eye.

"Haha, OK~" Chen Xu couldn't stop smiling. After observing carefully, he said to a student from the agricultural college who was also excited, "Go and find a brand new brush for me!"

"What do you want to do with your pen? Do you want to draw the style of this flower?" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu with her beautiful eyes wide open.

"No, no, only the lady is the most proficient in painting. I want to pollinate these flowers!" Chen Xu shook his head with a smile.

"Marty, what is pollination?" A gray-haired professor of the Agricultural College couldn't help but speak.

"The great way is divided into yin and yang. All flowering plants need to be pollinated to produce grains. All living things in the world are divided into male and female like humans. The flowers of this plant are the same. Some flowers are male and some are female. Only through mating can offspring be produced and nurtured!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

The professor and several students looked at each other.

"Marty, if flowers are divided into male and female, they need to be intertwined to reproduce, then why have you never seen two flowers hugging each other... Then... what..." A student asked hesitantly with a red face.

Chen Xu:...

"Husband started playing again!" Shui Qingrou's beautiful cheeks also flushed, and her voice was a little shy.

"I'm just playing around, is this true?" Chen Xu pointed to the flowers helplessly. "The fruits and fruits bloom and bear fruits, but if there is no male or female pollination, then the fruits and fruits will not have grains even if they grow up, and they will not get seeds after they mature. They don't pay attention to pollination on weekdays. That's because these plants bloom in spring and summer. The weather is warm and there are bees and butterflies collect nectar, and bees and butterflies have fluff on them. The pollen on the male flowers is spread to the female flowers, so that many plants will produce fruits. Most flowering plants also use nectar to attract bees and butterflies to pollinate. Otherwise, these plants will not hold hands or feet, but will be able to breed seeds that reproduce offspring!"

"Then... the rice millet and other grains have small flowers, so why can be seen without bees and butterflies collecting honey?" The professor expressed serious doubts about Chen Xu's words.

"Pollining is not just about relying on bees and butterflies. Bees and butterflies pollinate as insect vectors, just like matchmakers matching men and women. But the world is so big and there are so many creatures, and the way of pollination is naturally strange. Millet and rice grains use the wind, and the wind is used as a medium. When the wind blows and flowers shakes, the pollen in the flowers will scatter on the female flowers with the wind, and naturally it will be considered that the yin and yang intercourse is completed!"

"So that's it, but there are no bees and butterflies in the cold winter, and there is no wind in the greenhouse... Ah, I understand. The Marquis wants to use a brush to imitate bees and butterflies to spread pollen to these flowers!" A student suddenly realized as he spoke.

"Of course, using a brush to imitate bees and butterflies, and using artificial pollination to spread pollen to these flowers, the effect is the same!" Chen Xu nodded.

"But Marquis, how do you know which male flowers are and which female flowers are? If you put the pollen of the two male flowers together, can you... also produce grains?"

Chen Xu rolled his eyes at the talking student: "Have you ever seen a baby who can give birth to a baby?"

"Mr. Marquis, what is the basis?" A group of students looked at Chen Xu with a humble and eager to learn.

"Damn it is a wild marriage between two men. At most, it's just a pleasure for each other. How can such things that go against the laws of nature give birth to offspring!"

"Husband, I'll find you a brush!" Shui Qingrou finally couldn't stand the conversation between Chen Xu and a group of students, and her cheeks were red and she ran out of the greenhouse.

A group of students and teachers also quickly stopped this imaginative topic.

"Flowers rely on insect-like wind-media to spread pollen to each other. This is the best evidence of natural harmony. Everything in the world does not exist independently, and they all need an environment for survival and reproduction. This greenhouse is in reverse season and artificially creates a warm and humid environment, making plants think that it should be when spring flowers bloom. However, there is no cooperation between bees and butterflies in the greenhouse, so it is naturally impossible to pollinate, so artificial pollination is needed. Pollination is actually very simple. Just use a brush to brush each other on the stamens of the flowers, so that pollination is completed... You see, the center of this flower

There is a slightly thick flower center, which is the style. The style is the main organ of pollination, called pistils, and there are some fine filaments around it. The top of the filaments is pollen, which is called stamens. Most of the flowers of plants are hermetic, and they can pollinate themselves by relying on flower media. However, there are many plants with male and female flowers, even male and female. If you observe carefully, you should find that some flowers will not grow fruits, and some trees will eventually wither and cannot bear fruits..."

While looking for a brush, Chen Xu roughly explained the structure of flowers and the principles of pollination to the teaching and students of the Agricultural College.

"As an agricultural college, your main task is to study fruits, vegetables, vegetables and grain crops. Only by carefully observing can you understand the living habits of various plants. I have learned the principles of cuttings and grafting before, and this pollination is also an extremely important means to improve crops. For example, pollination of the same variety and pollination between different varieties can be studied. For example, millet rice, some stems are thick and resistant to lodging, some are not thick but can resist pests, and some are not afraid of saline-alkali drought, and even overgrown weeds can rise well. When we pollinate these plants of different characteristics, it is possible to improve a good variety that is both resistant to lodging and pests..."

A group of teachers and students listened with serious faces.

Every time I follow the Marquis, I can always learn a lot of new knowledge that sounds incredible and novel, but these knowledge is realistic and operational.

"Husband, I've brought the brush!" After more than ten minutes, the student who went to find the brush had not come back yet, Shui Qingrou brought two brand new brushes.

"Everyone see the process of artificial pollination..." Chen Xu smiled and picked up a brush, gently brushed the stamens back and forth for a few times before announcing the completion. "Isn't it very simple?"

"It's really simple!" A group of students and teachers nodded repeatedly.

"Gentle try it too!" Chen Xu made way, Shui Qingrou picked a flower with her brush, and brushed it back and forth carefully and carefully for a few times, then turned to look at Chen Xu: "Husband, is that all?"

"Yes, that's it. Remember, you must be gentle and not damage the style. Otherwise, the flower will be abandoned. At present, the fruits and fruits in the greenhouse have sprouted buds and will bloom one after another in the next few days. Therefore, you must seize the time to pollinate, otherwise the flowers will wither and miss the opportunity. Also, you must record these pollination processes carefully, and then you will have to give a detailed explanation when you go back to the college..."

"Let's keep in mind the orders of the Marquis!" A group of teachers and students quickly bowed together.

When Xing'er and Yu Ji returned from school in the evening, after hearing about this, everyone also found a brand new brush to run into the greenhouse, brushing the already blooming cucumber flowers next to each other. When Chen Xu entered the greenhouse again, he found that the first few flowers bloomed were almost painted into salt vegetables, and the petals were broken and the silk filaments and stamens were already in a mess. Therefore, his skin twitched and called Xing'er and Yu Ji over and criticized them fiercely, and then they could only cause trouble for the roses and roses in the future.
