Daming: Huddled in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 195 Farm Research ResultsLatest URL:After a while.
Only then did Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi stop, each of them looking excited.
"Ning Yi, you can wake up the dreamer with your words. If nothing happens, we can increase the rice yield per mu by more than 20% next year!"
Guo An was overjoyed and said: "In this way, if it succeeds, then the four eldest brothers can make great contributions and benefit the world!
I will definitely ask His Highness King Yan to reward each of the four eldest brothers with a big house, and also reward the four eldest brothers with gold, silver, jewelry and other property!"
Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi waved their hands humbly, "We are just tinkering with the rice here. Even in farming and fertilizing, I have Steward Ding and other veterans helping me. This hard work for me is nothing!" Guo An said: "It doesn't matter, all the veterans on the farm will be rewarded together."
On the side, Ding Shang ignored all this, but looked excitedly at the experimental rice fields aside, still full of disbelief.
"A few master farmers, is this considered a success?"
"Manager Ding, if nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to increase the yield per mu of rice fields next year."
Guo Bingyong replied with a smile, and then said again: "Also, Manager Ding, we are not some great farmers, we are just studying rice according to Ning Yi's method.
When it comes to master farmers, Ning Yi is the real master craftsman."
"Guo Changshi?"
Ding Shang looked at Guo An in surprise.
Guo An quickly interrupted, "We are all researchers, how come we are not great craftsmen?
Okay, the sun is too hot here, I’ll wait until we get inside.”
Guo Bingyong said quickly: "Yes, yes, let's talk after we enter the house."
After entering the house, Guo Zhi brought two fist-sized peaches and gave one to each of Guo An and Jin Zhong.
"Come, Ning Yi, try the grafted peach we are waiting for, it is big and red..."
"Hiss, such a big peach?"
Guo An couldn't help but be shocked. He had never seen such a big peach in this dynasty.
Guo Bingyong said with excitement: "Ning Yi, you don't know, we followed your instructions and connected the plums to the peaches, and the plums that grew out were bigger and more delicious.
Also, if you connect a peach branch to an apricot tree, the peaches will grow bigger;
Or, if you graft a persimmon on a peach tree, it will become a peach like this in your hand...
However, it is a pity that there are not many peach, plum, apricot and persimmon trees on the farm now, and they can only bear so many trees this year.
Next year, we will transplant hundreds of fruit trees from outside to around the farm, and we will surely find better varieties through grafting."
Guo An looked happy, "These elder brothers are really talented. If we can maintain the quality of this kind of peach, I will ask your highness to buy another thousand acres of land around the farm as an orchard for the four elder brothers to graft fruit trees."
, when the fruit trees mature, they will be sold to me by the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty.
If there are aristocratic families or dignitaries who are interested in the fruit trees of these eldest brothers, and can sell their technology and money to them, I request Your Highness to give these eldest brothers a share, at least a thousand taels of silver..."
Guo Bingyong said sarcastically, "Are we the kind of people who are greedy for money?"
Guo An suddenly had a serious look on his face, "The results of the research of several elder brothers are deserved to be distributed to these elder brothers. How can it be said that they are greedy for money?
Moreover, several eldest brothers also have descendants?
Since these eldest brothers trust me and can study these farm knowledge, I must not let these eldest brothers live in poverty..."
Guo Zhi said: "Ning Yi, don't worry, the four of us will definitely not disgrace our Guojia Village!"
Guo An continued to praise, "We still admire the knowledge of the four eldest brothers..."
Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi looked impressed.
Didn't they follow Guo An to Beiping Mansion just to achieve success?
Otherwise, where can the study of these agricultural sciences be considered as non-research?
However, the only thing that surprised them was that Guo An, who had been watched by them since childhood, finally grew up and seemed to be even more talented than Guo Taishi!
……
When he went back, Guo An brought a few big and red peaches from the farm.
It’s not that I don’t want to bring more, but there aren’t many on the farm itself.
As for apricots, they are already out of season.
And persimmons are not in season yet...
In the Cunxin Hall.
It was obviously the first time for Zhu Di to see such a big peach, and his eyes widened.
"We remember that the peaches that those in Fengtian Palace paid tribute to my father were not as big as this, nor were they as red as this!"
Guo Andao said: "Your Highness, please give it a try. This peach is also very sweet."
Zhu Di didn't show any pretense, he just took a bite and was even more delighted.
"If, as Guo Qing said, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others were given hundreds of acres of orchards, would they be able to turn those fruit trees into such varieties?"
"Wei Chen can't guarantee it."
Guo An replied honestly, "Because everything has accidents, it is even possible that some fruit trees will die during the grafting process.
However, at least half of them will succeed."
Zhu Di said directly: "If that's the case, then give them a hundred acres of orchard first."
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, I still recommend placing the orchard near the farm."
Zhu Di asked curiously: "Why?"
Guo An replied: "Because the main crops studied by Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others are still rice and wheat.
Now, if nothing else happens, the improved rice varieties they have developed can increase the rice yield per acre by at least 20%."
"Twenty percent?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened and he was even more excited.
If there is an increase of 20%, then each farmer's grain tank can have one or two hundred more kilograms of grain every year.
