Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 232 Thunderbolt
The Northern Wei Dynasty and Hu Xia attacked Guanzhong and Luoyang from both sides. Liu Yilong and Liu Yikang, who came from Shangdang, finally rushed to Jiankang with a dozen soldiers.

All the way, they pretended to be scouts with urgent military situation and ran wildly.

When they arrived at a post station, they just changed horses, ate something and continued on the road.

After several days and nights of running around, the two princes Liu Yilong and Liu Yikang became dusty, not only their eyes were bloodshot, but even their skin lost their luster.

The two breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jiankang's familiar silhouette.

Liu Yikang showed joy: "Third Brother, let's go to Second Brother and explain the situation to him."

Now Liu Yikang urgently needs a backbone to rest his mind, and Liu Yizhen is the bone he is looking for.

But Liu Yilong kept his eyes open and shook his head at Liu Yikang.

"Now that the second brother is in charge of the country, there are too many people who pay attention to him, and our appearance has long been remembered by those who care. We can't just go to the second brother in such a grand manner."

After thinking for a while, Liu Yilong took Liu Yikang to Jiankang Palace quietly.

As the saying goes, it is dark under the lamp.

In the past, the imperial palace was the most important thing. Now because the imperial palace has no owner, Liu Yizhen does not live in the imperial palace, so only some unobtrusive concubines live in the imperial palace.

Liu Yilong brought Liu Yikang to find Liu Yizhen's biological mother, Sun Yuhua.

Sun Yuhua was one of the few concubines of Liu Yu who did not have prejudice against Liu Yilong. Before Liu Yilong was stationed in Luoyang, he also took good care of Liu Yilong, so the first thing Liu Yilong thought of was her.

Liu Yilong handed over a jade pendant on his body to the palace man and asked the palace man to bring it to Sun Yuhua.

This jade pendant is a rare southern jasper, warm in winter and cool in summer, it was a gift from Sun Yuhua to Liu Yilong when he was young.

Liu Yilong believed that Sun Yuhua must still recognize this thing.

Sure enough, after the palace people went in for a stick of incense, someone came to introduce Liu Yilong into the palace.

After passing through layers of palaces, the two finally came to Sun Yuhua's palace.

Sun Yuhua was holding the jade pendant at this time, and his heart was also panicked.

After seeing that it was really Liu Yilong, Sun Yuhua already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Car, car? Why are you back? Are you the only two? Did your father call you here? Or is there something wrong?"

Liu Yilong bowed to Sun Yuhua with a pale face, and replied weakly: "Auntie, where is my second brother?"

Sun Yuhua thought for a while: "He seems to have gone to Donglin Academy on the outskirts of the city today to discuss matters with that famous scholar Tao Qian."

"I also ask Auntie to bring my second brother here now, I have something important to report!"

Before Sun Yuhua could ask in detail, Liu Yilong fell over in a black eyes.

"Car!"

"Third Brother!"

Sun Yuhua and Liu Yikang hurriedly carried Liu Yilong to the bed, only to realize that Liu Yilong's energy had reached its limit and he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Seeing that Liu Yilong had fallen asleep, Sun Yuhua asked anxiously what happened to Liu Yikang.

But Liu Yikang seemed young, and he was also a young and mature master. He refused to reveal a word, but urged Sun Yuhua to call Liu Yizhen quickly.

At this time, Liu Yizhen was in a field behind Donglin Academy.

In the field, two figures were squatting down on the ground. They were both wearing clothes made of hemp, and they were concentrating on observing a rice plant with a lot of ears.

Both of them were covered with dirt, like two farmers working in the field.

If you don't say it, no one will believe that one of them is a prince who supervises state affairs, and the other is a hermit who is famous all over the world.

Tao Yuanming was excitedly discussing with Liu Yizhen the rules among some crops he discovered.

"According to what His Highness King Qin said, I divided the various traits of crops into Yin and Yang."

"Crossing the traits of yin and yang, as His Royal Highness King Qin said, the offspring will have fixed traits."

"Yang-yang, yang-yin, yin-yin."

"If there is a positive, it will be positive, and if it is double negative, it will be negative..."

Tao Yuanming, who was hiding in Donglin Academy and planting chrysanthemums, did not feel bored.

The way of yin and yang of this crop is like a novel field full of unknowns, which makes people very yearning.

In the past, Tao Yuanming had some doubts when he said to Liu Yizhen that the saint would be able to grow any crops, but now he has not wavered.

saint?

The layout is small!

Tao Yuanming even felt that this way could be compared to immortal gods!

Can Confucius increase grain production?Can he, Master Meng, turn a dead tree into a spring?
This kind of miraculous miracle, the more you study it, the more fascinating it will be!
The current Tao Yuanming is the Champa rice that Wang Zhen'e transported from Linyi before studying with Liu Yizhen.

He found that Champa rice is indeed full of ears, and the grain produced by one ear is [-]% more than that of local rice!It is also said to be drought-tolerant, making it particularly easy to survive.

Through Tao Yuanming's research, he has judged that some yin and yang traits of Champa rice are more complex than that of native rice, so he is studying how to integrate the traits of Champa rice and native rice...

Well, it's hybrid rice.

When Liu Yizhen heard the news, he was very excited, so he put aside state affairs and accompanied Tao Yuanming to the field to listen to his ideas.

Facts have proved that Chinese sages and celebrities are really no weaker than those guys in the West who claim to be a civilized society.

It's just that the path is a little bit off.

With Liu Yizhen's slight tweaks, it took Tao Yuanming less than three years to figure out the law of hybridization of yin and yang, and Liu Yizhen was a little shocked by the truth.

It's just that the genes of the flower growers are too deep-rooted. Tao Yuanming began to think about how to farm after a little research...

"Tao Gong's move is of course a merit for thousands of years!"

In any case, the food problem has been the biggest problem of the Chinese nation since ancient times.

none of them!

It would also be great to have more research by Tao Yuanming.

Moreover, according to surveys by officials from various places, drought is very likely to occur this year.

If we can research rice varieties that are more suitable for China, the losses from such disasters will naturally be minimized in the future.

While Liu Yizhen and Tao Yuanming were chatting, a Qingqi came from Jiankang.

Panting, the leading soldier got off his horse and saluted Liu Yizhen: "His Royal Highness, Sun Yuhua, please go over now, saying that there is something urgent."

Urgent?

Liu Yi was really surprised.

Sun Yuhua knew that Liu Yizhen had a high position and power now, and he never wanted to disturb him easily.Is it abnormal to send knights to find yourself today?

After saying goodbye to Tao Yuanming and rewarding him with a sum of money, Liu Yizhen returned to the Jiankang Palace.

But he didn't expect that it was not Sun Yuhua who he saw in Sun Yuhua's palace, but Liu Yikang who Liu Yizhen always thought was still in the north.

When Liu Yikang saw Liu Yizhen at this time, he finally couldn't control his emotions and inner fear, stepped forward and hugged Liu Yizhen's waist and abdomen, and burst into tears.

"Second brother!"

"Father... has passed away!"

Suddenly, Liu Yizhen seemed to hear a bolt from the blue exploding in his ears!
