Hearing about his daughter, Xu Ping couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Shi, you know me as a person, from an ordinary agent's child to today, what are you not satisfied with?" No matter what happens in the future, I will rely on my own ability, and I will never exchange my children for a future! Looking forward to what family she wants to marry in the future, she must be willing to do it herself! ”

Li Yonghe sighed: "I just said casually, Panpan is that I watched grow up, and I can't look at her temperament to find someone." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info forget it, I've already said what I should say, you can make up your own mind. Now it's no better than when you were a child, when you were a child, Uncle Shi can still persuade you. Now that you are a scholar, you are in the system, whether it is learning or official position, you are better than me to know where, and your knowledge is not something I can compare, let me do it by your mind, as long as you know it in your heart. ”

"I understand that Uncle Shi is my own family, and I have something to say. I already know the things, and I have my own ideas. The things in the world, white can't be black, black can't be white, I go straight on the road, why bother what others say! ”

As a human being in two lives, Xu Ping sees this era more clearly than others. In this era, officialdom is not mountaineering, and it is difficult to catch up if you are one step behind. If there are no twists and turns in the career, it is not a good thing for yourself, and the energy in officialdom also needs to be precipitated.

Now in the court, there are only a few people who can lead the crowd and respond to the call, in fact, there are only a few people Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and Li Di, and even Zhang Shixun is still one level behind these people. Where did they come from now? By no means relying on the fact that they once served as prime ministers, there are still many people who have been prime ministers! Wang Zeng and Li Di both relied on the ups and downs of officialdom for many years, up and down, and made people sincerely admire their abilities and conduct. Lu Yijian relied on his super ability to toss and turn in the officialdom and form gangs, and he stood tall.

Xu Ping knew that he couldn't learn Lu Yijian, and the kind of natural ability to be an official couldn't be learned. The only way he can consolidate his position is to do it in a down-to-earth manner and truly do what he wants.

Wang Anshi, who had the highest status in later generations in this era, didn't he create difficulties in the officialdom without difficulties in history, and did a solid job in the local area for one or two decades, attracting the attention of the world, and soaring into the sky after entering the court? Xu Ping has already made a good start in the third division, and what he can do has been shown in front of everyone, and it is not interesting to stay reluctantly.

However, even if he leaves, he can't let people drive away so much, and this time the matter of repairing Luo into the Bianshui Canal is really on the same page as Wang Yan. He said that he couldn't fix it, and he wanted to fix it for him! Even if he leaves the capital, Xu Ping will leave as a winner, not as a helpless loser!

Thinking about this, Xu Ping changed the topic and stopped talking about it.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xu Ping said to Li Yonghe: "It's not early, I asked Liu Xiaoyi to prepare some wine and food, and have two glasses with Uncle Shi." Speaking of which, since I returned to the capital, the two families have been closer, but the days when the two of us sit together are still very few, not at all like the carefree days when we were teenagers. ”

"No, at that time, your father was a small business, and I was a small military attaché, neither of them was rich and expensive, but I lived a happy life. Now I have everything, and the burden on my body is heavier, but it is not as good as in the old days. ”

Although Li Yonghe is cautious, his identity is there, and there are many people in the government and the opposition who are staring at their family.

People who are used to being poor suddenly become rich and rich, either with their tails up to the sky and not knowing what their surname is, or they are cautious, for fear of accidentally making a mistake. There are very few people who can handle it well.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyi brought people to serve wine and food. In the wilderness, there is nothing good, nothing more than big fish and meat, plus a few plates of tender lotus root cucumbers, less delicate and a little more rough.

After drinking a glass of wine, Xu Ping said to Li Yonghe: "Heyin is a small county, the place is remote, and there are no good dishes. It's just that this pork is from Mengzhou, and it is indeed more tender and delicate than that in the capital, so Uncle Shi can taste it. ”

The meat was slowly cooked by Xu Ping with the braised pork method of the previous life, and it melted in the mouth. This dish has spread, but I am afraid that there will be no such thing as "Dongpo meat" in the future.

Li Yonghe took a piece and tasted it slowly in his mouth, nodding again and again: "It's really delicious, and what is even more rare is that it is fat but not greasy!" ”

mentioned meat, and Li Yonghe talked about the purpose of his visit to the former military supervisor this time.

"Xu Ping, what kind of artificial insemination is that, what is going on? Can you really improve horse breeds? ”

Xu Pingzheng took a piece of tender cucumber to his mouth, and when he heard this, the cucumber on the chopsticks almost fell to the ground.

"Uncle Shi, this topic is not suitable for talking about during dinner. In this way, eat first, and then we will talk after we have eaten. ”

Li Yonghe shook his head with a puzzled face, but looking at Xu Ping's appearance, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he had to drink. He had not been in charge of this herd deputy envoy for a few days, and he was busy reading all kinds of documents and meeting his officials, and the time passed at once, and he did not have time to understand how to breed new horse breeds. In the past, Lin Suniang had always been in charge of the Xu family's Zhongmu Manor, and he hadn't been there since Xu Ping left, and he really didn't know anything about artificial insemination.

In order to hide the embarrassment just now, Xu Ping changed the topic and chatted with Li Yonghe about family trivialities.

Because of something, after drinking a few glasses of wine and eating, he asked Liu Xiaoyi to clean up. During the day, Li Shen and Sun Biao went to the countryside to deal with the affairs of the Jiang family's fields, and when they came back in the evening, they would have a feast. Mengzhou They are landlords, Li Yong and the respect of the uncle, they naturally want to be interesting.

After serving tea, Xu Ping and Li Yonghe rinsed their mouths before continuing the topic just now.

Xu Ping said: "Uncle Shi, there are countless horse breeds in the world, why are only the horses in the northwest the best?" ”

"Naturally, it is because the horses there are good breeds and the terroir is suitable for raising horses, which is incomparable to the Central Plains."

"There is no way to terroir, but horse breeds can lead ah! What is a Horse Breed? It is nothing more than the blood of the father and the mother, and this artificial insemination is to use people to take the sperm of good stallions and get more horses pregnant. There are not so many good horses in the Central Plains, or because there are not so many good stallions, there are fewer good horses born. This technique, to put it bluntly, is a good stallion used for thousands of horses. ”

In fact, the truth of genetics is not so difficult to understand, the key is to summarize experience and in-depth research. But Li Yonghe is a rough man after all, and he doesn't bother on this, so Xu Ping didn't want to tell him specifically. When I returned to the capital to meet Wang Su, it was not too late to elaborate on these theoretical issues.

The rough knowledge of genetics has long been known from the perceptual level, but it has not risen to the level of theory, and there is no good means to realize it. The artificial insemination of animals, the artificial pollination of plants, coupled with basic genetic knowledge, once popularized, will bring about a large outbreak of agricultural varieties, which is the most meaningful.

Just like pigs, China's original pork is delicate, but it is small and medium-sized, not large, and does not produce much meat. The European ones are the opposite, with large bodies and rough meat. Therefore, Chinese eat fresh pork, and Europeans eat pickled pork, which was the norm before the close exchanges between the two sides. It's not that Europeans don't know that fresh pork is delicious, it's because their pig breeds are not suitable, and no one likes to eat pork that is cooked like firewood.

Europe began to breed good breeds, introducing ****** bloodlines, combining these two advantages, and cultivating a variety of famous varieties. Almost all of the pig breeds that were bred in large quantities in Xu Ping's previous life came from Europe, which is the reason. In terms of blood, it is actually ****** mixed with European pig blood, and even the ****** bloodline is heavier.

If the Chinese in this era first began to use these techniques to cultivate good seeds, and even introduced seed sources from all over the world, then all the good seeds of later generations would come from China.

This is true for pigs, and naturally the same is true for cows and horses. Once artificial insemination begins, the path of artificial selection, animals can evolve according to human wishes, thus replacing natural selection. Animal husbandry looks at the natural environment, these artificial factors can not be underestimated, this is the greatest significance of this technology.

Where can Li Yonghe think of so much, shook his head and sighed: "You like to think about things different from others since you were a child, you messed around a lot when you were young, and when you grow up, you often have magical ideas." You have a reason for saying that. It's just that Ma Zheng has been worse every year since Emperor Taizong, can you really do it again? ”

"Uncle Shi, it's man-made! You only look at the past few years in my village, how many years have you been raising horses? Now it can produce dozens of good horses a year. By the time of next year, I estimate that it will not be difficult to produce one or two hundred horses a year. What I can do as a Zhuangzi, dozens of horse supervisors in the imperial court, as long as I work hard, I can't produce thousands of good horses a year? Even if it is done, there are 10,000 or 20,000 horses a year. ”

Li Yonghe shook his head again and again after hearing this: "Scared, one or two thousand horses a year, who dares to think like this?" In the past few years, there has been a great shortage of horses in the forbidden army, and if there are really so many good horses, they will not be lacking, which is a great credit! ”

Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's not a great merit, how could the Holy Lord do everything possible to let Uncle Shi be the deputy envoy of this group of pastors?" You just have to listen to me, use this method with peace of mind, and then try to buy some excellent Qingtang horse breeds from Tubo, and in a few years, there may really be no shortage of horses in the forbidden army! ”

"Can it really be done? Just by this—" Although his heart still did not believe, his eyes already shone with hope. With his sister to achieve today's official position, and the emperor still thinks that he is rising too slowly, Li Yonghe often feels uncomfortable in his heart. It would be great if there was such a great credit to him! (To be continued.) )
