Chapter 781： change your mind

   Mu Yangling found out the map of southern Guizhou, and then opened the "Records of Southwest China" and "Da Zhou Yu Zhi" to carefully check the geographical environment and cultural environment of Luodian, and his brows could not help but wrinkle tightly.

The people in Luodian are mostly Yue people, and they share the same ancestor as Miao people in ancient times. Later, they migrated and differentiated.

Like the Miao people, the Bouyei people are equally hospitable but exclusive. They rule by the clan, with the chiefs and priests having the most power, while the chieftain rules all the clans, but the binding force is not large, and the relationship with the imperial court is not far or near.

Because Luodian is more remote and barren than the Miao village in Lingnan, the imperial court has little interest in that small place, so they should be more autonomous. They only collect some taxes every year as a token thing. As long as they don’t encounter tyrants and corrupt officials, very few people in Luodian will conflict with the court.

Luo Dian is not oppressed like other Miao people in Lingnan, and naturally they will not resist. They seem to have closed the mountain gate and independent into a small world. They are both enthusiastic and xenophobic. Whether it is social relations or social economy, they have not developed very much. In this way, under such social conditions, how could they grow such high-yielding grains?

If they had this geographical environment, it would be fine. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. More than 60% of Luodian County are high mountains, and half of the remaining 40% are low mountains and forests, and the rest are rivers and plains. Rice cultivation area is not extensive.

If the rice seed really came from Luodian, then Mu Yangling should worry about the stability of the rice seed.

Because the stability of the seed is actually more important than its high yield when it is actually planted, because only with stability can the seed be promoted outwards, otherwise, unstable seeds may cause widespread failure of harvest at any time.

The seeds of upland rice were planted as early as the year she left Jingzhao House. At that time, the seeds of upland rice were more productive and drought tolerant than the dry rice No. 1, but why did she not popularize it until last year?

is to test its stability. They planted it for five years to make it stable, and only at the moment when it was determined that it was stable, it was the No. 1 dry rice.

When Qi Haoran came back, he saw that Mu Yangling was still bowing his head to write and draw on the table, so he said, "Didn't you say you shouldn't read and write at night? Be careful that your eyes will be bad in the future."

Mu Yangling hurriedly wrote the last sentence, put down his pen and said with a smile: "Where is it so precious, how about it, what did Mr. Liu and the others say?"

"The charter has been set, and tomorrow I will personally go to meet Narozhan."

Mu Yangling took out a piece of paper from the table and handed it to him, saying: "When you see him, you must ask clearly, how many years have they grown this grain, what is the output, and whether there have been major pests and diseases? , Has there ever been a failure of production, whether they are planting in a large area, or are they planted separately and staggered, how is the drought tolerance..."

Qi Haoran's head was so big when he heard it, how could he understand this, he said hurriedly: "I'll take Xu Zhizhou tomorrow."

Mu Yangling nodded, "That's fine, Xu Zhizhou knows more, you have to remember, don't need too much of this rice seed, we have to plant it for a few years to make sure it is stable before we can plant it on a large scale."

"Then according to what you said, this rice seed is still in danger of dying out?"

"Of course, the climate and temperature are different, the soil and water are different, and the pests and diseases are also different. If there is a certain point where its fatal weakness is concentrated, it may die out. Of course, the possibility of this is relatively small, and the possibility of production reduction is relatively low. It’s big, but no matter what kind it is, we always have to ask to clarify before we can promote it with confidence.”

Qi Haoran nodded thoughtfully, so they didn't fall behind.

Qi Haoran smiled slightly.

Xu Zhi was still very excited when he saw what was on the note, and said, "Your Highness is really thoughtful. Yesterday, I thought about it all night and only listed a few items. I always felt that there were many unfinished things, but I always thought about it. There is no problem, but now that I have seen the problems listed by the prince, the humble position suddenly becomes clear."

Qi Haoran waved his hand and said, "Master doesn't know how to farm, this is all listed by the princess, let's go, we'll meet those people."

Xu Zhi glanced hesitantly at the little bear in his arms, the little bear immediately hugged his father's neck, buried his head in his arms and did not raise his head.

Qi Haoran hugged his buttocks and got on his horse. Seeing that Xu Zhi was still stunned, he frowned and said, "Why don't you leave?"

"Xiao, Xiao Shizi is going too?"

"Well, if Xu Zhizhou doesn't know how to ride a horse, he can take a carriage." After he said that, he hit the horse and left first.

Xu Zhi saw that he was busy pulling the reins in the hands of the servants, and also got on his horse, but Qi Haoran shook his head in his heart. They were going to talk about business, how could they bring their children?

The prince also spoiled the little prince too much.

However, Qi Haoran rode his horse swayingly all the way, put his son in front of him and sat down. When he saw something fun and delicious along the way, he would restrain the horse and let him take a look. Ask the guards to buy some, and eat right away.

Xu Zhi's face became more and more ugly, and he really wanted to go forward and say a few words, but every time he asked the guards of the palace to block him, he couldn't shout at King Rongjun across a few horses, it was really insulting. .

Strolling to the back, Xu Zhi has changed from a fulfilled ambition to a rooster, drooping his head and letting the horse follow behind a few people, and unknowingly he arrived at the inn where Luo Zhan and others were staying.

Luo Zhan's people had already reported to Luo Zhan that King Rong took his son out for a walk and happened to pass by them.

Luo Zhan stood at the window of the inn and looked down. He saw Qi Haoran patiently walking along the street with his son. Wang actually carried him off the horse and put the child on his neck so that he could watch the juggling.

Luo Zhan was shocked and his eyes widened in surprise. He had already heard how Prince Rong doted on his eldest son, but he always held a skeptical attitude. After all, Han people are strict about fathers and mothers, and fathers always treat their sons. Strict, there is also the saying that the grandson does not hold the son, the throne of Rongjun is high and powerful, and there must be more than one son in the future, how can he dote on him so much?

He figured out that he was acting or saying these words on purpose, and even his guards were deceived, but now, seeing how he was holding the three-year-old boy on his neck with a smile on his face, this Prince Rong was really A man of temperament, he values ​​his son very much.

Luo Zhan changed his mind in an instant. Since Qi Haoran didn't lose face, Luo Dian had already offended him once, so the next time the third brother came back, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to open up the situation. , maybe there is still a chance.

Thinking of this, Luo Zhan immediately changed into a more solemn outfit, and went down with the guards to Qi Haoran in the crowd.
