    Both Jin Xuezeng and Xu Guangqi came from the Wanli Dynasty. Looking back on the past years, they have to admit that it was the gods who cared for the Ming Dynasty¡ªif there was no realization of the total revenue and expenditure of the court; if there was no financial crisis that happened in advance  The crisis made people realize the importance of food security; if those more cold-resistant New World crops were not widely planted, what the Ming Dynasty would be like today is unimaginable.

    The first item is to enable the country to concentrate and allocate resources to relieve the disaster-stricken provinces; the second item is to enable the south to be self-sufficient at least; the third item is to promote the planting of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes so that farmers in the north have a stable staple food for their hunger  .  It is also the key to the stability and stability of the Ming Dynasty, so that the ruling and opposition parties have unanimously said that "potatoes and sweet potatoes saved the Ming Dynasty".

    In such successive years of catastrophe, the issue of food is the overriding issue of the country, so it is not difficult for the senior officials of the household department to work so tirelessly.

    And as Jin Xuezeng, who is in charge of agricultural administration, he shoulders a more arduous task than others. He and Xu Guangqi, the top agronomist in the Ming Dynasty and the author of "Agricultural Administration", will travel all over the northern provinces this winter to supervise the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes.  Seedling replacement work.

    Unlike traditional crops, potatoes and potatoes do not grow from seeds, but from small tubers, which allow them to be highly productive.  However, because there are no seeds, its traits are not stable, and continuous planting will cause a year-by-year decline in yield and even toxicity.  Since the year before last, the provinces have begun to experience a decline in production, and this year there has been a large area of ??food poisoning, which was unexpected before.

    People in the Academy of Sciences were at a loss for what to do about this, and Silence was the first to realize that this should be caused by continuous planting.  But he couldn't come up with a solution. He had to import a large amount from South America again, and then cultivate a generation of seedlings to update the seedlings.

    Although this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, at this time, the one who can cure the disease is a good doctor. Therefore, the household department invested a lot of money and cooperated with the Agricultural Science Institute to cultivate a generation of seedlings on a large scale, and then distribute them to various provinces.  The trip of the two of them is to inspect how the seedlings are updated This is related to whether tens of millions will be hungry in the coming year, so the two of them have already planned to celebrate the New Year below.

    After drinking a few sips of spirits to warm up, Jin Xuezeng took out a silver cigarette case and handed one to Xu Guangqi.

    "" Xu Guangqi shook his head and said, "Although the 'No Smoking Bill' has not been passed, I firmly believe that smoking is harmful to health."

    "It's been so many years, and I haven't heard of anyone smoking to death" Jin Xuezeng smiled, lit one for himself, took a deep breath and said, "You, you live too carefully."

    "If the department is interested." Xu Guangqi said with a straight face: "You can go to the Academy of Sciences to see the lungs of smokers."

    "I'm not that interested." In front of this university scholar, Jin Xuezeng had no airs, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about running the remaining provinces before the spring begins."

    "It should be no problem." Talking about the business, Xu Guangqi had a gratified smile on his face: "We haven't run in vain for the past two months. With these new seedlings, we can last another five years." (to be continued)  .If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
