When I walked out of the back door, I found that there was a large field. The ones planted were rice, wheat, corn, millet, soybeans, etc. There were all common crops here. There were yards next to the farmland, and chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle and sheep eating grass in the grass on one side.

After looking around, Wang Ruohai asked, "Constitution, where is this place?"

Wang Xiaolidao: "This is a place that specializes in growing grain and raising livestock and poultry. I chose grain varieties suitable for growing here, and planted them in different regions, and there are special people to watch. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each grain, selecting the best from the advantages and selling them to the people if they succeed. The same is true for the livestock and poultry raised, selecting good varieties and selling them to the people at that time. If the government does not do such things, the people will do too slowly."

Wang Ruohai nodded and said nothing. This is a good thing, but in this troubled world, it always makes people feel a little strange.

Wang Xiaoli knew that this matter was very important. In ancient society, it was very difficult to select and breed good varieties. It was often after a long time and many generations of efforts to form local good varieties. If there was no special opportunity, it was difficult to promote it to society. When entering an industrial society, even if it was just using the most traditional method, as long as you persist in doing it, you will have great results in a few years.

In my previous life, the later we will find that the food and fruits we eat are changing with each passing day. The fruits we have never eaten before, and the new varieties that were unprecedented, suddenly became everywhere in a few years. When we first saw them, people had a lot of speculations. For example, fruit corn, some people said it was genetically modified, but in fact it was just different varieties. For example, colorful cotton, and some people said it was genetically modified, but they did not know that cotton was originally colorful. These are the results of breeding, and the foods changed rapidly.

The country comes forward to breed and promote it, and the good varieties can quickly spread throughout the world. The improvement of seeds is of great significance to crops. Agricultural progress will promote rapid social progress.

Lu Jie pointed to a field next to him and said, "What are you planted here? I haven't seen it before."

Wang Xiaoli said: "This is grass cotton from the Western Regions. I heard that this kind of cotton fabric is the best in the Western Regions. But in the Central Plains, no one knows how to use cotton fabric, but it is just occasionally planted. I think cotton can be planted like grain, with a higher yield than hemp. I heard that fabrics are also better than hemp, and will be very popular in the world in the future. So I specially found seeds, planted here, and studied slowly."

"It turned out to be grass cotton--" Lu Jie nodded.

At this time, there are two types of cotton. The ones planted in the south are generally kapok, and the ones planted in the Western Regions are grass cotton. Grass cotton, which is called cotton later in the later generations, is a herbaceous plant and is produced in the Western Regions. It has been a long time since cotton weaving cloth in the Western Regions, but the textile technology is not mature and the cost is high. In addition, the transportation between the Western Regions and the Central Plains was cut off after the Middle Tang Dynasty, and there were not many people who planted the Central Plains.

Wang Xiaoli saw the seeds of cotton a few months ago and was very happy. He knew how important the status of cotton was. To a large extent, it was the cotton textile industry that promoted the industrial revolution. Even in China, the cotton textile industry in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was extremely important. He specially took the seeds and opened a field to plant them in Xinye. Even if it could not be weaved into cloth, it would be good to make cotton jackets in winter.

The fibers of cotton are relatively short, and it is difficult for China, which is used to textile technology such as silk and hemp. By the Song Dynasty, cotton had actually been introduced to the Central Plains. However, due to the immature textile technology, it was not yet promoted. The key is cotton weaving, and spinning is an important process.

There were spinning machinery in China long ago, and in the Song Dynasty, it also carried out a lot of improvements. However, the raw materials for spinning were long fibers and could not be used to spin cotton yarn directly. The lack of spinning technology limited the promotion of cotton.

In history, one or two hundred years later, Huang Daopa improved spinning machinery and promoted the rapid development of cotton in China. For Wang Xiaoli, as long as there is cotton, everything else is not a big problem.

Seeing that Wang Ruohai and Lu Xie were not very interested in cotton, Wang Xiaoli was a little disappointed. Obviously, they didn't know how this crop affected human history, but they just said that it was part of Wang Xiaoli's various fantasies.

After walking for a while, Wang Ruohai looked at Tian Ye and told Wang Xiaoliu: "There is everything here, and the goal is quite large."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said, "There is no way. Now I have to support the army, and I don't want to squeeze money from the farmers, so I can only do everything like this. If I do more and make more money, the army will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Lu Jie said: "The court has been in trouble in recent years, so everyone can only find a way for themselves. In the past few years, if the court has money, naturally, military pay will be paid to the army, and this will not be the case. What kind of tradition will it be for the leading generals to make money by themselves!"

Wang Xiaoli looked into the distance. After a moment of silence, he said, "It depends on whether the court can make money. Now it seems that the court does not even have the ability to protect itself. It is probably difficult for them to pay money. Moreover, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been thinking about making peace with the Jin army, which makes people unable to see clearly."

This is the most deadly thing. Since Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he has no longer had the same aura as before. He only wanted to be an emperor and negotiate peace with the Jin army. He was not thinking about defeating the Jin army, but thinking about letting the Jin army recognize itself and divide the north and south. Over the past few years, Zhao Gou kept sending envoys to the Jin Dynasty, but the Jin army relied on its strong military strength and ignored Zhao Gou.

The military and civilians across the country wanted to restore the Northern Expedition, but the emperor did not want to fight. What would it look like? As a result, history has been difficult to answer. Zhao Gou would rather kill his best general than to negotiate peace with the Jin Dynasty. How could he have a good impression of those who are fighting?

Wang Ruohai sighed. In the past few days, he could see that Wang Xiaolei was not an honest general. Although he did not rebel against the court, he did not have any respect for the court. After visiting Xinye, this feeling became even stronger.

Although Xinye is small, Wang Xiaoli has made all the internal organs. If this place really develops, Wang Xiaoli's society will be able to expand rapidly. With money and soldiers, Wang Xiaoli will be like this now.

Back in the yard, Wang Ruohai looked at the busy crowd around him and felt indescribable. Now Emperor Zhao Gou is being held by the rebels, the Jin army in the north is eyeing him, the people in the Central Plains are displaced, and the powerful faction is like Wang Xiaoli, how could he not have his own ideas?

Wang Xiaoli led the two of them to the hall and sat down, and ordered people to make tea.

After asking for tea, Wang Xiaoliu said, "We will go back to Xinye City in the afternoon. You two will stay here for a few days. When the court has news and the rebellion is pacified, you will escort Shen Yudong together. Relax and don't worry too much."

Wang Ruohai said: "What should be bothered is that Ji She is talented. We are just accompanying each other, so why bother so much? But now the world is in chaos and the Jin people are not invading the south. As the people of the Song Dynasty, how can we feel at ease!"

Lu Jie said: "The Supervisory Office is right, that's it. Two years ago, I stationed in the east and west capitals and saw many people separations. Alas, as a soldier, I can't keep the country safe, I feel ashamed."

Wang Xiaolie wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. As a civilian, many people blamed themselves. But as the emperor, Zhao Gou only thought about the romance and even forced his personal soldiers to rebel. What's there to say in such a world?
