Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

The next day, Zhao Tuo came to the outskirts of Xihai City, where crops were planted in pieces.

Among them, the largest planting area is from Daqin, and a small part is the native crops of Kyushu Island. Because of the river irrigation, the crops can grow well.

There are not many crops in Daqin in winter, only a small part, so there are not many kinds of crops seen at present.

"Your Majesty, the one who manages this place is a disciple of the farmer Xu Xing, so I will call him here.

After a while, an old man in sackcloth and straw sandals came over.

After seeing Zhao Tuo, the old man wanted to kneel respectfully, but was spared by Zhao Tuo.

"I heard that you are a disciple of the farmer Xu Xing?"

The old man nodded and introduced his identity. It turned out that the old man was the seventh disciple of the farmer Xu Xingshou.

After Daqin unified the six countries, he became a slave of Daqin.

It was not until Da Qin posted a notice in Guanzhong that slaves who went to Kyushu could be exempted from slave status, so the old man appeared in Kyushu.

Because of his good at farming, he quickly became an authoritative figure among the Daqin people who cultivated, and was later appointed as a minor official here by Daqin officials.

Zhao Tuo nodded after hearing this. Zhao Tuo had no prejudice against any of the hundreds of schools of thought, and the same is true of the farmers.

Then Zhao Tuo took the officials to watch between the fields.

The west coast has only snowed once a while ago, and the plants are a little dull, but it seems that there should be no risk of production reduction.

The old man followed behind Zhao Tuo, a little surprised.

This His Majesty is actually willing to personally go to the top of Qian Mo to check, which is simply unheard of.

Not to mention the emperor, even the county magistrate who the old man has seen rarely goes to the ground.

"I see that although these crops are many, they are not big. What's the matter.`?"

The old man was busy talking.

"These crops are all brought by us from Daqin, it seems because of soil and water problems..."

Zhao Tuo pays great attention to crops because of the importance of crops.

If food production is reduced or insufficient to support the country's expenditure, a country will actually fall into a bottleneck of development.

Don't look at Daqin's wars everywhere, it seems that Daqin's soldiers played a role, but in fact Daqin's rear security is also the key.

The increase in grain production in the Guanzhong Plain is the basis for Daqin to dare to go to war with the Peacock Dynasty, Donghu, and Fuyu.

Otherwise, the soldiers will not have enough to eat, and naturally they will have no strength and will not be able to fight.

Zhao Tuo thought of the previous unlocking of crops in the system.

He opened his mouth to teach the old man.

"The so-called grains are actually derived from weeds, but special varieties are selected by artificial selection...

"If that's the case, why don't we take the initiative to speed up this process?35

"We can select the seeds of the large, plump, high-yielding plants for the next planting.

"Of course, sometimes this crop may not be found in a crop, at this time we can explore how the fruit of the plant came...

The officials behind Zhao Tuo looked at each other.

How could their majesty have so much experience in farming... Although I don't know right or wrong, it seems to sound reasonable.

The old man was struck by lightning.

He was actually aware of these before, but he didn't care, and he didn't expect that there was such a reason.

Now that the old man heard Zhao Tuo's explanation, he only felt that many things had the possibility to be verified and improved.

Farmers have been exploring the influence of soil and weather before, but they have paid too little attention to the crops themselves.

Zhao Tuo has now opened the door for the elderly.

The old man was originally a young emperor just on a whim, but at this time he sincerely bowed to him.

If the other party is not the emperor of Da Qin, the old man even suspects that it is someone from a farm family.

Zhao Tuo looked at the eyes of the old man and laughed, he had already given the method to the old man, and what kind of results he would achieve in the future would depend on the understanding of the old man.

In fact, this method, Zhao Tuo has already handed it over to some common people in Daqin.

However, the current exploration progress of these people is not enough, Zhao Tuo can only see if the farmers can speed up this progress.

|| Thank you for your guidance, I will do my best to find more plentiful food for Daqin.

When Zhao Tuo left, the old man immediately looked for him in the field.

Sure enough, although they are all from the same batch, some of them are significantly larger, and some of them are slightly insufficient.

The old man marked the larger plants, preparing to leave their seeds for next year's planting.

The development of agriculture is not overnight, and the growth of many crops is based on a one-year cycle. I am afraid that this kind of breeding and hybridization will take a long time to see results.

So Zhao Tuo stopped paying attention to this matter after teaching the elderly.

However, Zhao Tuo has some expectations. If the old man can produce particularly powerful crops, Da Qin will definitely benefit from it, and it is not impossible for Da Qin to expand its territory again with the help of these crops.

Agriculture is the foundation of a country. In order to go far, apart from the army and technology, agriculture must also be developed.
