The farm in Qin Fengzui is actually the seed cultivation base of the Sinong Temple in the Ming Dynasty. It is located on the bank of the Luo River, and it is cultivated in thousands of acres of fertile fields.

Driven by the water flow, the huge water truck rotated tirelessly, scooping buckets of water out of the river, then poured it into the ditches below, and then flowing along the well-connected irrigation canal into the hopeless fields. Standing on the river embankment and looking into the distance, there is a water truck like this at every distance.

Walking among all kinds of crops, the sweet local flavor is soaking the heart.

"Seeds are like humans. If generations of people are persistent in improving them, they can also become very different when they were originally." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Just like in the royal family, most men are majestic, and women are beautiful and dignified, but perhaps their ancestors are actually ordinary and even very vulgar. But since they have power, they can naturally choose the most beautiful woman in the world to become their wife, and can also marry the most heroic and casual man in the world. After generations, their descendants are basically not much like their ancestors!"

Listening to Qin Feng's metaphor, Cao Yun wanted to laugh a little. The most important bloodline among the royal family, according to Qin Feng's statement, wouldn't it be that the longer the royal family members are, the weaker their ancestors' bloodline will be? But as he thought about it, he couldn't laugh because he remembered the ancestors of the Cao family worshipped in his family. It seemed that he could not find any similarity between him and his ancestors. There is a saying among the people that the five swear words are the same?

On the ridge road in the fields, more than a dozen people in official uniforms were running towards their group. It seemed that the officials from this cultivation base had been notified and came to greet them.

"Those are the officials responsible for seed cultivation here. In fact, I know the reason for this. It is more appropriate to let them explain to His Highness the Prince, and it can also make His Highness the Prince hear more clearly." Qin Feng explained with a smile.

When the dozen people ran to the front of him panting, Cao Yun was stunned. It was completely different from the officials in his image. Although these people were wearing official uniforms, most of them were clearly some old country farmers. They were covered with chicken skin and cranes, and their veins were exposed. They seemed to be wearing official uniforms in a hurry. Some even had their clothes buckles in the wrong place, and some didn't even wear boots, but they were still straw sandals. After the ceremony, they were trying hard to hide their big feet, but the robe was short and they could not hide them.

Looking at the pair of straw sandals with muddy feet, Cao Yun wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh. In such a scene, he had seen many such officials after he entered the Ming Dynasty.

They didn't care about the majesty that an official should have, but just immersed in the affairs they were responsible for. What surprised him the most was that there were several extremely young people among them.

"They are the most experienced people in the Ming Dynasty. They are invited by the Ministry of Agricultural Science and Technology from all over the country." Qin Feng said: "Cultivating seeds is much more difficult than cultivating them. He dies at any time. Everyone, is everything going smoothly during this period?"

A group of people bowed in a mess and replied, "I ask your Majesty to bless you, everything goes well."

"Let's go, where are you going to see!" Qin Feng waved his hand. He didn't care about the etiquette issues of these people at all.

Inside a row of large blue brick tiles, rows of wooden cabinets are erected, and in the drawers on the cabinet are all kinds of seeds in this base.

The old man opened a drawer and carefully picked up a handful of wheat seeds from the inside and spread them on a piece of oil paper: "Your Majesty, this is the wheat seed you have always been paying attention to the most. This is the fourth generation we have cultivated. The yield of seeds per mu has increased by 50 kilograms compared to the past. The fifth generation of seeds is about to be planted for trial this year. According to our estimates, one acre should be able to increase by 100 kilograms per mu."

He picked up a few seeds with two fingers, crushed them, and looked at the white powder. Qin Feng said: "Most places in our Ming Dynasty use wheat and millet as plants, but millet is not a delicious food. Wheat, if done well, it is a good thing. Flour people eat it, and the bran grinded can be used to feed livestock. This is related to the belly problem of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the main grain crop that we have been working hard to improve. These officials of the Sinong Temple live up to the entrusted court. In five years, the seeds cultivated increased by 50 kilograms per mu and put them in the world. That would be an amazing achievement. Old man, if the fifth generation is out, if it can increase the yield by another ten kilograms, I will let you take the big red flowers to parade across the capital, so that everyone knows your achievements. It is you who will not be hungry anymore!"

The official of the Sinong Temple who was patted on his shoulder and called Lao Gonger smiled like a flower. "It's all for His Majesty's Hong Fu. The young old man did nothing, just took care of these crops."

Qin Feng laughed loudly, "I won't look at ordinary seeds. Take me to see the seeds I got from the Western Regions. These are not easy to plant, right?"

"I failed several times at first, but now I have figured out some rules." The old man led a few people to another room, took out some things from the same row of large cabinets and placed them in front of everyone. Cao Yun didn't recognize these.

"Your Majesty, this is sweet potato, which was brought back by the Maritime Department. This thing was originally produced in a hotter place. We thought it would be difficult to plant it successfully, but to our surprise, this thing has a very strong adaptability and it was successfully planted without much effort. Your Majesty, this is a good thing!"

"What's the good thing?"

"Your Majesty, he is almost full of treasures! This tuber can be used as a staple food for people. It tastes sweet and can be eaten raw or cooked. His stems and leaves can actually be eaten. And it tastes pretty good." The old man smiled and said, "And this tuber can also be used to make sugar."

"Make sugar?" Qin Feng was surprised.

"Sweet potatoes are planted in February, and they can be collected in April to plant them on a large scale. The yield is quite large, with a yield of thousands of kilograms per mu, and they can be stored for a very long time. They can also be cut into strips or blocks and dried and stored. As for the sugar production, the young old men once cooked a few and ate them. As a result, they forgot about this because they had something to do and cooked in the pot for too long, and finally became a pot of batter. Unexpectedly, they found that this thing could be boiled into sugar." The old man said embarrassedly.

"In this way, it is another way to make money! The yield is so large, and it is not picky about the land, it is a good thing, it is indeed a good thing."

"The people from the Commerce Department have pulled a cart from us and said they want to study how to make sugar." The old man said.

"Wang Yueyao's nose has always been the most intelligent." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Okay, since she has been involved in this matter, she will take the lead. This thing is good. Since it is not picky about land and is good for planting, it can be planted on a large scale, especially in the Western Qin land, which can be promoted on a large scale. At least it can make the people there have enough seeds this year?"

"Enough, enough, these sweet potatoes are planted after they are planted and then planted with stems and leaves. One acre of seeds can be planted with hundreds of acres or even more."

"This is really great." Qin Feng applauded and celebrated, "With this thing, we will probably have famine after the Ming Dynasty. By the way, how many cotton seeds have been cultivated?"

"Your Majesty, we have started to cultivate cotton seeds since the previous year. However, cotton is much harder to handle than this sweet potato. However, in two years, we have also explored a lot of experience. This year, we have started planting in Fuyuan County. The situation after the people stationed there is still very good. Next year, at the latest next year, we can plant it on a large scale."

"Your Majesty, what is cotton? Is it also eaten?" Cao Yun, who was holding a piece of sweet potato in his hand, asked with wide eyes.

"No, no, that's something that can be worn." Qin Feng made an action to the old man. The old man quickly pulled out a soft and white thing from another cabinet and handed it to Cao Yun.

"This is also planted from the seeds made from the Western Regions. Keep warm. Now our people's winter clothes are mostly filled with silk thread, reed flowers, and even grass to make winter, or some animal furs. To be honest, the warmth effect is not satisfactory. Every winter, it can really freeze people to death. This thing is light and the cotton jacket made with it is excellent in warmth. Unfortunately, we only have three years to get the seeds and cannot be planted on a large scale, but it will not get better and better in the future." Qin Feng said happily.

When Cao Yun touched the soft cotton in his hand, he felt mixed feelings. The Ming Dynasty seemed to be able to get some fresh things, but these things were all related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Holding these cotton in his hand, Cao Yun could imagine how he was made into clothes, and that when the weather was cold, Ming soldiers wore cotton coats made by this kind of thing, while Qi soldiers could only tremble in the cold wind.

"Your Majesty, can I introduce these sweet potatoes and cotton seeds?" he asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Qin Feng said disrespectfully: "There is no problem with sweet potatoes now. Didn't they just say that they are easy to plant and don't worry about seeds, but this cotton may not work now. If the prince wants to lead them back to Qi to plant them, he may have to wait for a year or two. We have to satisfy ourselves first!"

"That's right, it's right." Cao Yun was happy, but he didn't expect Qin Feng to agree so readily. He had just tried to send some people to steal some seeds and go back. Anyway, it seems that the prevention here is not strict at all, and there is no guard against it.

"Your Highness, in the afternoon, let's go and see our Ming Dynasty Medical College." Qin Feng felt very happy after coming out of the room.

"I have heard of Lord Shu's magical doctor skills for a long time, and I'm just about to visit me!" Cao Yun nodded and said yes.
