Before the establishment of Kunkaisi, Zhao Hao made up his mind and wanted to invite this agricultural master to go out of the mountain and escort Kunshan like Pan Jitao.

It's a pity that Ma Yilong is not as easy to fool as Lao Pan, Zhao Hao didn't ask for a letter to write by himself, and asked Wang Mengzhu to write a letter, but he still didn't ask for it. He had no choice but to come to the door in person.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhao Gongzi has personally visited the thatched house, and before Wan Mizhai, Li Shizhen, Li Yuanming, and Pan Jitao, these big cows have not been treated like this.

Ma Yilong didn't see any flattery, and said with a non-negotiable look: "It's useless for you to come in person, the old man won't go with you." There is no reason to let Liyang's land not be planted, and you can plant your Kunshan land, can your Kunshan land grow gold? ”

"Of course gold can't grow, maybe it's rare." Zhao Hao beckoned, and several guards stepped forward with two baskets each, and the baskets were covered with red cloths, as if they were gifts for him.

"No merit is not rewarded." Ma Yilong refused at first. "If you bring the gold and silver mountains here, the old man will not go to Kunshan."

"Haha, don't say it too soon." With a wave of Zhao Gongzi's hand, the guards uncovered the red cloth piece by piece.

In the exclamation of the disciples of Wuben Academy, Ma Yilong saw that there was no gold or silver treasure in the basket.

Rather, it is a green cucumber, a white lotus root, a purple grape, a golden melon, and a large green watermelon......

Before getting off the boat, Zhao Hao also specially ordered to sprinkle water, and the fresh fruits and vegetables of all colors were even more tender and attractive.

Although Jiangnan is evergreen all year round, there is still no growth in the ground in winter. Seeing these fruits and vegetables that should not appear in this season, the students were stunned.

Many people secretly swallowed their saliva, if they can gnaw a cucumber and eat a piece of watermelon at this time, it can blow for a lifetime.

Ma Yilong was not as ignorant as his disciples, looking at these out-of-season fruits and vegetables, he asked tentatively, "This is grown in the fire room?" ”

Saying that, he shook his head first and said: "No, most of the melons and vegetables are sunny, and only some leeks and yellow sprouts can be planted in the fire room." ”

Ma Yilong picked up a green cucumber, took a bite and said, "You can't grow cucumbers without sunlight." Well, it's pretty sweet......"

Zhao Haoxin said that the mountain spring is watered, and the farmer is full of fertilizer, of course it is sweet.

But it seems that it hasn't been washed yet......

"How the hell did you grow it?" Ma Yilong ate with relish, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I'll know when I go to Kunshan." Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Come to me, I'll build you a ten-acre greenhouse, so that you can plant whatever you want all year round, okay?" ”

"Good ......" Ma Yilong was overjoyed and almost agreed. Immediately, he shook his head with difficulty and said, "Don't go." ”

"Why?" Zhao Hao asked in a lost voice.

"Your out-of-season vegetables can only be enjoyed by the rich." Ma Yilong said: "The old man studied agriculture in order to solve the problem of eating for the common people. ”

"Then Mr. Menghe should go to Kunshan!" Zhao Hao laughed and beckoned again.

The guard carried another basket, still covered with a red cloth.

"What is this?" Zhao Hao looked at each other with encouraging eyes.

Ma Yilong lifted the red cloth and saw that the basket was full of golden sticks.

The students gathered around curiously, and they all felt very curious about this golden and neatly arranged stick.

"What is this, weird and pretty?"

"Can you eat it?"

"I've seen enough of choking, it's so hard, it's like losing my teeth." Obviously, no one knows this thing.

"This is the maize I told you about." Ma Shanchang said its name one by one.

"Yes." This time it was Zhao Gongzi's turn to be surprised, but he didn't expect Ma Yilong to know everything. Immediately said: "Mr. Meng He has eaten in Beijing?" ”

"It's not." Ma Yilong shook his head and said: "It was the first emperor who rewarded Zhang Taiyue a little, he said that it was a tribute to the Buddha Lang machine in the early years, and it was only planted in the Shanglin Yuan Jiaveg Department, called 'Yumai', also called maize." Zhang Taiyue sent some to the old man and asked me to try to plant them, but unfortunately the road was covered by rain, and they were all moldy and could not germinate. ”

"Then why didn't Mr. Menghe ask him for a copy again?" Zhao Hao asked strangely.

"Most of the things in the palace are flashy and unreal, and they are not for ordinary people to eat." Ma Yilong criticized: "I'm not interested. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. Meng He is a big mistake!" Zhao Hao laughed and said: "This thing is from the royal family, but I asked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for it, but it is by no means flashy." Maybe instead of calling it 'royal wheat' or 'maize', we should call it 'corn', or bud rice, cob, whether it will sound more accessible to the people. ”

"It doesn't matter what it's called." Ma Yilong was not annoyed, because Zhao Hao's understanding of agriculture and agricultural products had already impressed him. Then he humbly asked: "Zhao Gongzi said that this thing is by no means flashy, so I don't know what advantages it has?" ”

"It's tiring to stand and talk." Zhao Gongzi supported his waist.

"Go move a chair."

"Your throat is so dry...... Zhao Hao coughed lightly again.

"Tea!"

"It's noon." Zhao Hao's face is quite thick.

"Academy, please." Ma Yilong finally realized that he was not very polite in hospitality.

~~

Lunch was eaten at the Shohonshoin.

The academy is built on a hill, spacious and full of farmhouse colors, with all kinds of fruit trees and mulberry hemp, and a fish pond with ducks and geese.

Shi Jizhi is half a teacher of the Academy, and he arranges the guests by the fish pond, in a large pergola made of bamboo and straw.

At this time, spring and forsythia are already in full bloom, and snow-white pear blossoms are also blooming. The warm spring breeze blows, reminding people that a season called 'spring' has quietly arrived.

For lunch, he used the vegetables brought by Zhao Hao to fry a table of expensive vegetarian mats, and specially steamed a few bud rice sticks, and asked Ma Yilong to inspect the goods.

When waiting for the bud rice to come out of the pot, Zhao Hao gave him a detailed introduction to the characteristics of corn that are cold-tolerant, drought-tolerant, barren-tolerant, and have good environmental adaptability.

"It can be used as a staple food to feed the people, and the yield per mu is nearly twice that of wheat, but the biggest advantage is that it can be planted anywhere and does not compete with wheat for land." Zhao Hao boasted vigorously: "And it can also replace rice and wheat wine." The corn stalk can also be used as fodder, which is a treasure. ”

At this time, the servant brought hot corn on the cob.

Ma Yilong picked up a hot bud and blew it, couldn't wait to bite it, and then closed his eyes and chewed it carefully.

"It's sweet, it's quite fragrant." After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "But it's not enough to eat." ”

"It can be ground into cornmeal, made into steamed buns, nest heads, and cakes." Zhao Hao actually made people grind cornmeal, but he ate it with a throat, and it had to be mixed with white flour to be delicious.

Now he is trying to fool Ma Yilong to Kunshan, of course, he can't expose his shortcomings.

Steamed corn on the cob tastes much better......

"So, this thing can be tried and seen." Obviously, without the improvement of corn selection, the yield can not shock Ma Yilong.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Hao still has a killer feature.

He asked mysteriously, "Have you heard of Amway...... Oh no, sweet potatoes? ”
