Chapter 209 Hybrid Rice
"It's not like that. I have clear rewards and punishments. If you have meritorious service, you will naturally be rewarded. If you make mistakes, you will naturally be punished." The emperor pondered for a while.

Huangpuxuan: "Father, come directly to something affordable."

Mo'er likes money the most, and she is a little money fanatic.

What Huangpuxuan said was too straightforward, the emperor was taken aback, and then laughed loudly: "In this case, then reward 1000 taels of gold and [-] bolts of high-quality silk, what do you think?"

When Li Mo heard this, his eyebrows arched, and he instantly felt that everything was pleasing to the eye. Gold is 1000 taels, wow, developed, it seems that he has been in ancient times for so long, and he seems to have never seen gold.

Like the spring breeze, the whole person's face was beaming with joy, and the smile was so bright that even the emperor felt that the whole room became brighter in an instant.

Huangpuxuan looked at Li Mo with a smile on his face, the love in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

The emperor cast a glance, immediately put away his smile, and glared at Huangpuxuan. It seems that what the queen said is true, Xuan'er really has broken sleeves, and he likes this Li Mo, so he must stop them.

But they can't be separated by force. One is my savior, and the other is my most capable and proud son. If you do too much, maybe the father and son will turn against each other.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your medical skills are so superb, why don't you stay in the imperial hospital to work in the future, how about it?"

Li Mo's heart skipped a beat, Fuck, Your Majesty, are you repaying your kindness with revenge?My old lady doesn't want to work in the hospital at all, I just want to go home, the city is too deep, I just want to go back to the countryside.

Li Mo's face immediately pulled down, but he didn't dare to show it. This is the emperor, not an ordinary person. If he was an ordinary person, he would have given him two slaps in the face, and by the way, all his family properties were searched to make him regret it. Take a trip in the world.

At this moment, he could only respectfully say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Cao Min only wants to go back to Songjiang County."

The emperor was taken aback, how many people tried their best to get into the imperial hospital, all kinds of methods emerged one after another, don't think he doesn't know, there are many ways to do it.

"Why?" The emperor still asked the question in his heart.

The most important thing is that if Li Mo doesn't work in the Tai Hospital, his health cannot be guaranteed, and he doesn't know if he has detoxified.

To put it bluntly, the emperor is a person who is afraid of death.

Li Mo rolled his eyes, do you think Tai Hospital is a sweet pastry, because everyone wants to come in.

Just as Li Mo was about to answer, Huang Puxuan stepped forward: "Father, Mr. Li is a very casual person and doesn't like all kinds of constraints in the palace. Why don't you let her go back? If there is something that can't be solved, it's okay." Go find her."

After finishing speaking, under the wide sleeves, he gently hooked Li Mo's sleeves with his little finger, as if he was asking for credit!
Li Mo smiled slightly, and gently pinched his little finger to show his gratitude.

Receiving Li Mo's response, Huangpuxuan was as happy as a child who got candy, with a secret smile on his face.

The interaction between the two was really cautious, the emperor didn't see it, otherwise he would have lost his temper.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't force you." The emperor took out a pile of papers and said with a smile: "You are so young, you must not have a family yet, come here, this is the daughter of the princes and ministers, come and see , do you like it, I will give you a marriage."

Huang Puxuan's face darkened: "Father, something is wrong."

If this person wasn't his father, he would have thrown up his sleeves and left long ago.

The emperor ignored him and continued: "And you, your marriage has to be settled, and I have something on my mind.

The queen has been yelling in my ears, you look like this because you don't want to accept a concubine, why don't you take this opportunity and I will marry you. "

Huangpuxuan looked at the emperor with a sullen face, and Li Mo's heart sank. Damn it, I really made an inch. My marriage is none of your business. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have saved you. You're dead.

The emperor looked at Mr. Xu and asked, "Which girl did the empress tell me about?"

Manager Xu said honestly, "It's Ouyang Jingxue from Zhen Guohou's Mansion, she is a talented woman from our Jin country."

The emperor nodded: "That girl is really good, she is worthy of Xuan'er, and her age is also similar to Xuan'er."

As the emperor said, he looked at Huangpu Xuan again: "Xuan'er, what do you think?"

Huang Pu said coldly: "My son is not willing!"

After hearing this, the emperor's expression changed: "Among so many princes, I thought you were sensible and understood my painstaking efforts. I never thought you would be so..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed desperately, crying so loudly that he seemed to cough out his lungs.

Coughing and looking at Huangpuxuan, he seemed to hope that Huangpuxuan would compromise on seeing him as a patient.

Director Xu stretched out his hand to please the emperor, while constantly winking at Huangpuxuan.

Helplessly, Huangpuxuan was that impersonal person who looked coldly at the emperor who was suffering from a cough.

Li Mo's expression was so dark that ink dripped out, wow, this old emperor, this play is too clumsy!

Huang Puxuan was unmoved: "Father, my son sees that your harem should be guarded more, so that no one will take care of you when you are sick."

In fact, the emperor has long wanted to marry Huangpuxuan. Last time, Huangpuxuan was still in the capital, and Zhen Guohou had already entered the palace to ask for an order. Puxuan gifted marriage.

But later, when a war broke out, Huangpuxuan had already gone to the battlefield, and the matter was left alone.

Now, the old story is brought up again, the emperor's purpose is to beat the mandarin ducks to separate the two of them, no matter how the Huangpuxuan messes around, it will be after they get married and wives that they will give other rewards.

Huangpuxuan's official position cannot be further promoted, and the rewards are gold, silver, porcelain and jade and other miscellaneous things.

On the other hand, Li Mo, although the emperor doesn't like her "addiction to broken sleeves", he also knows that talents are not easy to waste, so he wants to keep him by bestowing marriages or staying in the imperial hospital, so as to break the relationship between her and Xuan'er. Affection!
Finally, the emperor finished coughing, and looked at the two obtrusive people in front of him with a dark face: "Xuan'er, do you plan to be lonely forever? When I was your age, I had several children."

There is also this Li Mo, it is undeniable that she has meritorious service in healing, but her attitude is really unpleasant, a grass-roots person doesn't even think of him as the emperor.

Just as he was about to get angry with Li Mo, Huang Puxuan stared at him coldly. The emperor felt a chill on his back, as if he was going to be frozen. He really didn't know who the emperor was.

Li Mo suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the grass-roots people have something to ask for, and I hope the Emperor can fulfill it."

The emperor was in a bad mood, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"

Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, the grassroots would rather not have these rewards, and only hope that there will be no hunger in the world.

The emperor cares about the common people, so he should know that the grain output of Jin State is very low, so why not invest a lot of manpower and material resources in improving it.

If the people can eat enough, they will live and work in peace and contentment, and the society will be peaceful.

But now they are still hungry, and in times of famine, they have to sell their children or even starve to death. "

Neither the emperor nor Huangpuxuan expected that Li Mo would mention this suddenly.

This is related to the issue of the country, the emperor straightened his body and asked: "What good idea do you have?"

Li Mo didn't answer him, but asked a very embarrassing but practical question to the emperor: "May I ask the emperor, do you know the yield of one mu of rice?"

The emperor looked at Mr. Xu, only to see Mr. Xu shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

He looked at Huangpuxuan again, but Huangpuxuan turned his face away. He knew it, but he didn't want to say it.

Li Mo didn't want the emperor to answer, but after asking this question, he said the following words: "Now our mu yield is at most 300 catties, and this is only possible when the weather is favorable and the fertilizer is sufficient. high yield.

If these cannot keep up, the harvest of more than 200 catties and more than 100 catties is normal. A farmer's family has planted a few acres of rice. What is left after taxation?Raising a family is hard.

Last year's drought and locust plague caused many people to be displaced and fled their homes one after another, just for a bite to eat, and even sold their children and daughters. There are countless places. "

The emperor was speechless, and his face turned red and pale.

He didn't know many things. He was in the courtyard of the palace, listening to various reports from the ministers. They only said what they wanted to say.

The question that the emperor really cares about is how much can reach the Golden Luan Hall.

Director Xu felt the emperor's anger, and was too frightened to move. He was the manager who had just been mentioned.

It is said that companions are like companions to tigers, and if you look at the previous chief managers, you will know that after the emperor woke up due to rebellion, the first person to be executed was the chief eunuch.

And this Mr. Li, she is too courageous, isn't she difficult for the emperor to investigate?
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Li Mo dangerously. This kid is so courageous, he doesn't want his head anymore?

No matter who it is, it's too embarrassing for someone to directly say that it's their fault.

Li Mo didn't care so much, the opportunity to meet the emperor was rare, she had to raise this issue, the first was to lower taxes, and the second was to hope that the court would contribute money and efforts to research hybrid rice.

Huangpuxuan is a very good helper, following Li Mo's topic, he asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Li Mo nodded slightly, thanking him for his words of help at this time.

Li Mo didn't care how dark the emperor's face was, and continued, "If you want to increase the yield of rice, you must research hybrid rice."

"Hybrid rice? What is it?" Huangpuxuan asked first.

Li Mo spoke out the lifelong painstaking efforts of Grandpa Yuan Longping: "Hybrid rice is produced by crossing different rice varieties. The situation of breeding sterile lines, restorer lines and maintainer lines is quite complicated.

The strategies of hybrid rice breeding are three-line method, two-line method and one-line method.

The so-called three series are male sterile lines, maintainer lines and restorer lines.

The key to the two-line hybrid rice technology is to cultivate a light-temperature-sensitive male sterile line.The plants of this sterile line are male sterile under long-day sunshine and can be used for seed production; under short-day sunshine, the male plants become fertile and self-fertile.This characteristic allows it to be used both for its own reproduction and for hybrid seed production.

The one-line method is to breed inseparable first-generation hybrids, which can fix the traits of heterosis and eliminate the need for seed production, and the procedure is even more simplified. "

"Hybrid rice research is successful, and one mu of rice can produce nearly 1000 catties of grain."

Of course, it was impossible to have such a high output in ancient times.

Li Mo had finished speaking, but everyone present stared at her dumbfounded. The words she said could not be understood separately, and even more incomprehensible together.

They only heard the last sentence, one thousand catties, what kind of concept is this, how many times has it been doubled?
Even Huangpuxuan, who considers herself well-read, still doesn't understand what she's talking about?
Seeing that Li Mo immediately mentioned the fundamental problem, the emperor suddenly let go of his heart, and became more and more interested in her thoughts.

The emperor thought that every time a war was fought, all the power of the whole country could be used to gather food and grass for the war. He didn't know the suffering of the people, and he never thought that it would be so bitter.

He himself was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he had never lived in the folk, so he knew how many catties of grain an acre of land would have.

What he learned since he was a child is the art of the emperor seeking power. Everyone taught him how to firmly hold power in his own hands. To him, the people are not a big deal at all.

Huangpuxuan looked at Li Mo with scorching eyes, and sighed in his heart, Mo'er, how many surprises do you have for everyone?

You are a treasure, and the secrets will never be exhausted.

Huangpuxuan: "Father, why don't you call the minister in charge of agriculture to discuss it together."

The emperor was right after thinking about it, and ordered Mr. Xu to call people in.

While waiting, the topic continued.

Li Mo: "Secondly, the grassroots hope that the emperor will take the tax revenue and reduce the farmers' taxes. Of course, there must be many obstacles to the tax reform, so we can find another way."

Li Mo frowned: "The grassroots have never understood why the country is still so poor when the tax is so heavy?"

In fact, no one knows how much of the real tax revenue has reached the national treasury.

The emperor was speechless and didn't know how to answer, because he didn't know either.

Li Mo continued: "Let go of the road guide, let the goods circulate, and at the same time develop the industry, so that the things that can be circulated are no longer primary products, but processed agricultural and sideline products with added value. obtained commercially.

Don't stare at the output of the field.Once business profits are greater, the resistance to tax reform will be much smaller.

Moreover, the country's economy and politics will be stable only if the agriculture, business and industry work together. "

With a "boom", the emperor stood up from his seat and bumped into the table in front of him, almost hitting the table.

But he couldn't care about these anymore, and stared at Li Mo with bright eyes: "I didn't understand what you said about primary products and added value just now, please explain more clearly."

He didn't understand the hybrid rice mentioned just now, but he could understand the taxation.

Li Mo pointed to the pastry on the table and asked, "What is this?"

At this moment, the emperor didn't feel that Li Mo's childish question was abrupt, so he answered very seriously: "Cakes."

"This pastry is made of sugar and flour. Then, wheat and sugar cane are the primary products. They are grown from the mountains by farmers. If a catty of wheat can be sold for twenty yuan, how much can a catty of wheat make?" Flour? How much can it be sold for?"

The emperor thought for a while, but couldn't answer this question, so he simply turned to Mr. Xu and said, "Go, call the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Yes!"

Soon, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs ran over, panting, and before he could catch his breath, the emperor directly threw Li Mo's question to him.

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly crashed. How did he know that he was only in charge of purchasing. As for the production process, how did he know.

He hesitated for a long time, unable to hold back a fart, so angry that the emperor wanted to hit someone, and threw the memorial on the table on the ground, so frightened that the steward knelt on the ground and dared not lift his head, for fear that the emperor would say: "Drag it down and cut it."

Li Mo finally knew that being with the king is like being with a tiger, and that life and death depend on the emperor's thoughts.

But she didn't regret it, the questions she asked just now were just a way to make her think, and she didn't ask the emperor for answers at all.

Li Mo continued: "Cakes are made from wheat and sugar cane, and flour and sugar are agricultural by-products.

The profit created is the added value of agricultural products, which includes labor, technology and power consumption for making flour and sugar. "

Li Mo said: "When farmers sell their wheat to merchants, we have to collect taxes once, and when flour processing workshops sell the finished flour, we collect taxes again.

And the tax charged is higher than when the wheat is sold.This shows the importance of processing industry and commodity circulation.

So we not only need to focus on business, but also focus on industry, so that the country can develop..."

"What you said is a bit complicated, involving all aspects of society, and has a great impact. Let me think about it carefully." The emperor waved his hand.

Can the impact be small? This is already a question of social form.
