As soon as he thought of it, Li Yi went to the printing workshop and explained the principle.
"Dongzhu, what about the blank space?" The person in charge of printing was thinking about the problem of the clasp.
"Add a font without any characters. Think more when you encounter problems." Li Yi felt that this person was stupid. After saying this, he laughed.
The man scratched his head and said, "I've printed so much in one day that I've become stupid."
"Now what about laying a piece of paper and printing it? Put a stack of paper on it and use rubber gloves to turn the paper. Print a piece and turn it away. "
Li Yi saw the printing method and found the problem, so he quickly thought of a way to increase the efficiency.
He turned around and went out. The people in the workshop were thinking about it.
As soon as he left the workshop area, Li Yi was slightly stunned.
Old Man Mu was standing in front of him. Like the other old men on Zhuangzi, he was wearing new summer clothes.
He was wearing a vest, trousers, slippers, a cattail leaf fan, and a sweat towel wrapped around his wrist.
"Uncle Mu, Uncle Mu, are you … comfortable wearing this?" Li Yi always felt that Old Man Mu was from a rich family and had to be presentable.
"Yes, it's comfortable. When I play chess with them, they wear it. If I don't wear it, it looks different. It's a pity that they're not good at Go."
Li Dan waved the cattail leaf fan and explained why he changed his clothes. It was to fit in.
"Oh, yes, they've never played Go before. Without money, it's hard to live."
Li Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Old Man Mu still expected everyone to play Go.
How long would it take to play a game of Go? Would they stop farming? Would they stop weaving sacks?
Even now, the old men and women were not idle all day. They could weave baskets and sacks.
When they were tired, the old men would find someone to play Go with, and the old women would sit together to drink tea and chat.
"Yes, life is not easy, but there has to be a root." Li Dan wanted to change but couldn't.
"Start from eating and increase the yield per mu." Li Yi said simply.
"Can it be increased just because you say so?" Li Dan was a little unhappy.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, the agricultural officials of the previous dynasties … were very hardworking.
They knew how to tell the people that the seeds of the same crop could not be planted for too many years and had to be replaced with seeds from other places.
Then the agricultural officials would ask which part of the land had the highest yield, and if it was much higher than the land next to it, they would buy it all for seed.
The yield of the fields was gradually increasing, but it was still not enough.
In the end, when it came to Li Yi's mouth, all he said was to increase the production. "Give me one more and I'll see."
"This involves a new technology, hybridization, or grafting." Li Yi changed the way he put it.
People nowadays knew how to graft, especially fruit trees.
"How do you graft wheat? Break the wheat stalks and replace them with rice stalks? "Li Dan actually knew how to graft.
"Uncle Mu, don't be anxious. It's like this. Wheat and rice can have both male and female offspring. This way, they can have offspring.
If a man was missing, there was nothing the woman could do. At this time, he would look for a different type of rice or wheat.
Put the pollen of the other type on the rice and wheat here, and the two types of pollen mixed together.
In the end, the child born may have the advantages of both sides, or it may have the disadvantages of both sides.
Leave the seeds of the good ones, and when you plant them again, they may be good at drought resistance, or they may have high yields. "
Li Yi explained the hybridization technology easily, but let him do it …
"You can do that?" Li Dan did not understand.
"Yes, when you look for them, during the period when they bloom, observe. When you shake them, there is little or no pollen. At the same time, they look different from others.
First, look at their appearance, then use a magnifying glass. I have a magnifying glass in Zhuangzi, and I wanted to discuss it with you.
But I can't do it this year, I'm busy with the locust plague. Next year, I'll look for wheat and rice from all over the Tang dynasty.
When you look for them, you have to understand their shortcomings and advantages, and then divide them into different areas.
When they bloom, carefully look for plants with dead males, and then use other pollen to pollinate them. "
Li Yi told him his plan again, and then he realized that it was useless to tell this to an old man.
Li Dan did not feel that he was useless, and he said excitedly, "Yes, let's look for them. If they don't have enough manpower, ask them to send more."
"Okay, Uncle Mu, it's hot, don't get excited. I know your family has land, and I hope the yield is high." Li Yi was afraid that the old man would faint.
"Yes, my family has land, a lot of land. I want to plant it, I want to plant it." Li Dan kept nodding.
This was the first time he heard of this method. It was too strange, but at the same time, it made sense.
"Plant it. As long as you find it and succeed, it won't be a problem to double the yield in a few years."
Li Yi thought of the hybrid seeds he planted with the help of fertilizers and pesticides, and felt that the yield in the Tang dynasty was indeed too low.
Even if he did not use pesticides and fertilizers, the yield was five to six times better.
"Double?" Li Dan wanted to smoke.
"Yes, in a few years, the first generation has to be cultivated, and the fertilizers have to be kept up." Li Yi increased the difficulty. "Don't smoke, I'll be busy again."
"Yes, I can't rush, I can wait, I want to live for many more years."
Li Dan, who did not know that he was supposed to die next year in history, had to work hard to live.
Although he was no longer the emperor, he was still the retired emperor. The people could say that the retired emperor and the emperor were blessed by heaven, and they had to find ways to benefit the people.
If the grain doubled, they would fight, fight, fight Tubo, fight Tujue, whoever was not convinced, they would fight.
The first thing Li Dan thought of was war, and he could only fight with grain.
The logistics would continue to send grain and fight every day until the other side had no food to eat.
"Yes, Uncle, you're in good health." Li Yi said as he helped Li Dan to a shady place.
When they reached the shady place, he glanced at Qing Song standing next to him.
Qing Song immediately ran to get water, sour plum soup.
Li Dan drank two mouthfuls and showed a carefree expression. "It's delicious, good news."
After Li Yi comforted Li Dan and went back to copy the book, Li Dan began to spread the news in Zhuangzi.
After hearing it, the farmers did not care about the details at all. They only knew that Dongzhu said that the yield per mu could be doubled.
Last year, the rice and wheat in Zhuangzi were much higher than that of other farmers. Was there any need to doubt Dongzhu's words?
In the evening, Li Longji and Li Chengqi, who had just gotten off work, came over and heard about it …
"Brother Yi, quickly write it down and draw it, I'll write it up." Li Longji urged, as if he did not want Li Yi to eat.
"Third Brother, don't worry. Let's drink. Today's dishes are good, there's braised pig trotters." Li Chengqi held a wine cup.
Empress Wang did not look like a queen at all. She held a pig trotter with both hands and gnawed at it while nodding.
"I've finished writing and drawing." Li Yi sighed. When he found that Old Man Mu was spreading the news everywhere, he knew that he had to write it down.
Before dawn on the ninth day of May, Li Longji left in a hurry.
He entered the city through the back gate, changed his clothes, and waited for the important courtiers to arrive for the meeting. Then, he walked to his seat with light steps.
He glanced around and smiled.
The courtiers were speechless.
Yao Chong and the others looked at each other and communicated with their eyes: What's wrong with His Majesty today? Did he pick up money? Who did he help Li Yi trick this time?
"What's the matter? Tell me about it. When you're done, I have a good news." Li Longji calmed down.
