"Girl, I have no objection." Yang Ziwen and Lu Zeyuan said at the same time.

The Shen family's paddy fields in Beili Village were cultivated by Yang Dazhuang and Qi Shugong. If she wanted to take back the paddy fields, it might have some impact on them, so she asked Yang Ziwen and Lu Zexin first.

If it is not taken back, the research institute will still lose a little bit of a field. However, there is another plan that the Shen family does not charge their rent, and they also agree to people from the research institute observing in the field.

In the afternoon, Shen Jia found Yang Dazhuang and Uncle Qi. After listening to her words, they said grandly: "We will continue to plant these fields and pay the rent as usual. The three children can just go to the fields to study."

How could Shen Jia let them suffer? He made a final decision: "In this case, I won't charge your rent." He then said to the three people in the research institute: "You three should be careful when you go to research, don't damage it." Rice.”

The three of them responded in unison: "Okay!"

Yang Dazhuang and his seventh uncle wanted to say something else, but Shen Jia stopped them.

The next three people went out early and returned late to look for male sterile rice.

Shen Jia receives letters from Shen Zhuoyun every few days.

After Shen Zhuoyun and the others settled in the suburbs of Beijing, Uncle Qing Ping, his wife, the old man, and his wife Qiao Zhuang dressed up and went to the grain farm in the suburbs of Beijing without any servants. They burst into tears and then laughed from ear to ear. , are particularly rare for the Shen Hao brothers and Guo Mingyu.

Guo Mingyu did not return to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion when he arrived in the capital, and the old man and his wife had no objection. They felt that a granddaughter could educate children better than a daughter.

Shen Zhuoyun has already led people to plant corn, peanuts, and sweet potatoes. Currently, the three crops are growing well.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen were chatting.

"A Chen, I received a letter from Liu Erhu today. He heard several businessmen from Lingnan talking about Bai County, Yixian County, and Cang County being the fiefdoms of the princesses. I think this matter will soon be spread by interested people. If you have the ears of a prince, they will definitely send someone over to inquire. What do you think about us preparing something good to entertain the spies?" Shen Jia's eyes were shining with excitement.

Xiao Yichen had been led astray by Shen Jia a long time ago. In his eyes, a so-called gentleman could not use the fastest and most effective method to defeat the enemy. "Okay! Tomorrow we will go into the mountains to find some good things and come back to greet them. We must make it impossible for them to come back.”

Shen Jia Ni glanced at him and said righteously: "Achen, you are a bad person! We are the kindest people in the world. How can we say that there will be no return for people who are reluctant to step on an ant to death? We just see that they like it here and let them stay.”

Xiao Yichen's eyes were full of doting smiles: "Well! They don't have to travel and work hard from now on, so they should be grateful to us."

"That's right! Seeing as they have come from such a long distance, we must be creative and prepare great gifts to be worthy of them."

"it is good!"

The two smiled at each other.

"Girl, girl!" Rowling shouted excitedly as she ran.

Shen Jia saw her running out of breath and asked with a smile: "What happened? Are you so anxious?"

Rowling's little face was flushed, sweat was streaming down her forehead, and her eyes were slitted with laughter: "We found it, we found the natural male-aborted strain you mentioned."

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen stood up in a hurry, "Take us to have a look!" After saying that, they strode out.

Yang Ziwen and Lu Zexin were standing beside the field stalks, waiting for them.

Shen Jia squatted in front of the rice plant Luo Lin was talking about and observed it carefully. "Jiajia, how should we observe this?" Xiao Yichen approached Shen Jia and asked curiously.

Shen Jia pointed to a few normal rice plants and said: "Look, when the spikelets of normal rice just bloom, the anthers are fluffy and bright yellow in color. A large amount of pollen will disperse when you shake it gently with your hand. Soon after flowering, the anthers will crack. After opening, the medicine bag becomes empty, and a white substance hangs on the filaments.

Look at this rice plant. Its flowers have bloomed but there is no pollen inside. Its pistils are normal. This may be a degenerated male flower. "

They don't have a magnifying glass now, so they can only guess. Even if they guess wrong, it doesn't matter. At worst, they will continue in the next season. Shen Jia believes that one day he will figure it out.

"Girl, come here and take a look at these rice plants." Lu Zexin said, pointing to another field next door.

"Okay." Shen Jia responded.

She observed carefully and felt that these plants were rice ears whose anthers did not crack and did not loose powder when shaken.

"These plants should all be male-aborted. Let's try artificial pollination for them. No matter what the result is, we have to give it a try before we know." Shen Jiahan said with a smile.

"Okay!" The three of them responded loudly.

Shen Jia talked about what he saw on the video in his previous life, and asked them to recall how they successfully hybridized rice by mistake before, leaving the rest to their own research.

The two of them were walking on a country road, chatting as they walked.

"A Chen, I don't want to be involved in the oil pressing workshop and chili sauce workshop here. I plan to find two people in the village and let them build their own workshops. I will teach them how to press oil and make chili sauce. What do you think?"

"That's good, people's energy is limited, and there is no need for us to transport the crops that can be grown in the capital in Lingnan. The things produced in the fiefdom can be sold by merchants to other places. In the future, the escort team will mainly transport tea, medicinal materials, and pills And fruit wine that’s not available in the capital.”

"Yeah! I think so too. We can build an oil pressing mill and a chili sauce factory in the capital. All the land on the hillside will be planted by the villagers. Half of the peanuts collected this season will be used for oil extraction, and the other half will be brought to your fief for planting. .what do you think?"

"Just do as you say!" Xiao Yichen nodded.

Shen Jia has long planned to build an oil pressing plant in the capital. In addition to peanut oil, the oil pressing plant can also press soybean oil and rapeseed oil. However, she has never seen rapeseed and doesn't know if it exists elsewhere.

Shen Jia called for Uncle Seven and Yang Dazhuang, "Uncle Seven, Uncle Yang, do you want to open an oil pressing shop and a chili sauce shop?"

The seventh uncle and Yang Dazhuang looked at Shen Jia blankly, unable to react.

After a while, Uncle Qi muttered: "You mean to teach us how to build an oil pressing mill and a chili sauce mill? Let us do business on our own?"

Shen Jiahan smiled and said: "Yes, I will return to Beijing in July. You should think clearly as soon as possible. While I am still here, I can tell you how to build an oil mill and teach you how to squeeze peanut oil. Otherwise, I will No one teaches you how to press oil."

"You can open your own oil press and let your family take care of it." Yang Dazhuang suggested.

Shen Jia shook his head: "There are not many servants left here, so I won't do it. I will also ask people to tear down the wall on the hillside of the back mountain. Anyone in the village can plant the land on the hillside."

When Uncle Qi and Yang Dazhuang heard this, they stood up and walked around in circles excitedly. They wanted to plant the land and open a workshop! (End of chapter)
