I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Is it a foreign object? Although in later generations, the fruit of watermelon is very common, but the absence of it in the current Dayan Kingdom means its rarity.

Ming Yu's brain is turning fast. If watermelons are cultivated, they will become their iconic fruit in Liangzhou in the future, and then they will be transported to big cities like Beijing. Such a rarity must be able to sell for a good price, anyway, he is also short of money, and he will not do anything that can make money. Who would dislike having a lot of money earned?

When he thought of it, he did it. Ming Yu made a special trip to open up the backyard of the palace and built a few experimental fields. I am ready to wait for him to cultivate successfully, and then teach the method to the local people, so that they can also plant. When they are planted, they will find a way to underwrite it, how can they make the people earn some money, maybe it will be more profitable than growing grain. These are all money, all the treasures of getting rich.

It's just that the people in the borderlands don't have enough food right now, so it might be difficult for them to grow watermelons and make a fortune, isn't it? His first priority was to let the people fill their stomachs. Ming Yu was worried. He thought about having people buy grain from the grain-producing areas in the south. Now there is a shortage of money, and this has fallen into an endless loop. Whoops! I still have to wait for him to earn money. In fact, the best way is to hope that the caravan can find high-yield grain seeds and come back, so as to solve the problem fundamentally.

Everything can only wait. He is still experimenting for the first time to see if the seeds can be planted. It is for this reason that Ming Mingyu was so ecstatic when he heard the seeds germinate.

I ran all the way to the backyard. After the transformation of the craftsmen, it has changed a lot. A piece of land is divided into several small pieces, square and square, with a glazed shed built on it.

If others see such a glazed shed, they will be amazed at the wealth and wealth of Wang Yefu. The colored glaze of the Dayan Kingdom is still a luxury item, and only the imperial palace or the palace of the imperial court can use glazed glaze to make tiles. But look here, Duan Wang built such a large glazed shed just for a few seeds.

There are a few old men next to them, dressed in rough cloth bunts. They are already old, but they are still in good spirits, simple and capable. They are good local farmers.

When several people saw Ming Yu, they hurriedly saluted. Ming Yu waved his hand and said eagerly: "I heard that they have all sprouted? Quickly take this king to see."

One person smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, they have indeed sprouted. They are the ones planted in the No. 3 greenhouse. Your Majesty calls them watermelon seeds."

They have been planting the land for decades, and they have never seen anyone who does not plant the land according to the season. There is also a shed made of glazed glass, and the seeds are planted directly in the shed. Ground, planting, weeding, fertilizing?

It's getting colder at this season, so the seeds you plant will not be frozen to death on this day? The lord brought them here and said that he wanted them to help grow something. They were very puzzled at the time, thinking that the prince was a prince and aristocrat who had just come from the capital, and it was normal for such people to not understand the harvest season of the countryside. Since the prince doesn't understand, they can't fool around at will, right? So I also persuaded, no matter what, I have to wait until the spring season to recover before I can plant seeds. Now there are only a few months left until next year's spring, just need to wait a little longer.

However, the prince didn't listen to their words at all, and insisted on doing his own thing, just let them plant the seeds as usual, and they would take good care of them.

Several people are very helpless, there is no way, who is the prince, who dares to defy what the prince has said.

What's even more amazing is that the lord even let them grow things in the shed. This... This is not nourished by rain and dew, how can the seeds grow? They have been planting the land for many years, and it is really a long time to see such a thing.

Since the prince's orders did not dare to disobey, they had to accept their fate. Try it out, if it really can't be planted, it will kill them, and it will be impossible for the seeds to germinate.

They planted the seeds in the shed, which turned out to be a different world. The cold wind was blowing outside, but as soon as they entered the shed, they could feel the warm atmosphere, making people feel as if they were in a small spring in February and March.

At first they didn't know why, but later they heard from the craftsmen that this shed was built by the lord with great effort.

The ground dragon is installed under the shed, and there are special people who can control the temperature, so that the four seasons in this shed can be like spring. This is simply unheard of, this... So, wouldn't it be possible to grow things all year round? If this is the case, the food grown in one year will be more than twice as much! At that time, will the people still be able to endure hunger without food?

A few of them felt incredible, but also longed for such a day. With this idea in mind, they tried their best to plant things.

Fortunately, the emperor pays off, and the king's method is really effective. Early this morning, when they came to check as usual, they actually found that there were little pointed greens emerging from the soil, and the seeds they planted really sprouted.

They told the good news to Qingping, the eldest maid next to the prince, and it didn't take long before the prince arrived in a hurry. It can be seen that the king is very concerned about this matter.

Ming Yu entered the No. 3 shed, and saw a few delicate and tender seedlings standing on the soil of intensive cultivation, which could be seen at a glance on the black soil. The newly unearthed seedlings were broken.

He squatted down and looked carefully, this is the watermelon seedling

Miao, things that are very common in later generations but have never been seen here, as long as they can be cultivated, I believe they will give everyone a surprise.

"The little man has been planting the land for decades, and he has never seen this... watermelon, is the fruit produced by this thing really delicious?" an old man asked. Forgive him for having lived his whole life, but he does not have as much knowledge as the young prince. The prince treats them kindly and warmly, and they are no longer tied, and they will directly ask if they have any questions.

Since they came to the palace these days, they have never been treated harshly. They have been farmers who shave food from the soil all their lives. If they can come to the palace, they would not even dare to do so in their dreams. The people in the rich and powerful mansion are all superior to others. I thought they would live on thin ice here, but I didn't expect that everyone in the palace was close and kind, and even the prince spoke to them in a pleasant manner. This made them flattered. After living in the palace for a long time, they did not treat themselves as outsiders. They not only did their best to do things, but also talked to Ming Yu.

Ming Yu laughed twice, thinking of the taste of watermelon, he was a little greedy, "This watermelon is a good thing, sweet and delicious, and when the fruit is ripe in the future, you can all taste it."

Hearing what Ming Yu said, several people looked at each other, how dare they eat such precious things, but they are still happy in the end, no matter what, the lord likes them, then take good care of them, and then the lord will be able to get what he deserves. willing.

"In the future, when the caravan comes back, maybe it will bring back more and better seeds. At that time, you will have to worry about it." Ming Yu said with a smile.

A few people should be, and some people worry: "My lord, I brought back the seeds from outside, and I don't know if they can be planted or not. These little things are very precious. Isn't there a saying: Oranges born in the south are oranges? , oranges born in the north are oranges. If the soil and water are not acclimatized and the climatic conditions are different, no one will know the changes of many things.”

These words expressed the feelings of several people, and everyone looked at Ming Yu eagerly.

40. Chapter 40

Their worries are not unreasonable. The ancestors have been digging food in the fields for generations, and naturally they have touched their temperament. If the prince hadn't broken their inherent concepts, they would have always thought that spring farming, summer cultivation, autumn harvest, and winter storage. , Only when the four are not lost can the five grains be endless, and the people can have surplus food. Note ① If they hadn't seen with their own eyes, in the winter when everything withered, the seeds could still grow and sprout, they would never have believed it, it was a miracle.

Ming Yu is not worried at all, what are you afraid of? I have a greenhouse, and I can still make plants bloom and bear fruit in winter. When that time comes, I will do more experiments, such as grafting and cross-breeding. Although I am not an expert in this field, I can also put forward this matter and leave it to a professional. People come to study slowly, I believe that in terms of human creativity, these things will always have a day when technology matures.

The current shed is made of glazed glass, which is mainly used for light transmission and heat preservation, but because of the color, the effect is not particularly good. It is a pity that the glass has not made much progress. If the glass is made, and then a few glass greenhouses will be built, there is no need to worry too much about the rest.

Ming Yu smiled, with a little confidence, "You don't need to worry too much about the rest, you have to do it step by step anyway."

He believes that as long as he can plant it, it will naturally convince people. Take your time, nothing can be done overnight.

Ming Yu is in a good mood, even dreaming of holding a
