Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The emperor’s tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement as he asked, “You are all gardeners of the imperial garden? Let me ask you, if you crossbreed and pollinate a short plant with blue flowers and a tall plant with yellow flowers, you can get a short plant with yellow flowers?
The florists were all stunned. They did not know why the Emperor was suddenly interested in this matter and were thinking about how to answer.
“If it’s the same species, it’s possible,” gardener yang said cautiously.
Hearing this, the Emperor was even more excited. After this excitement, he said unhappily, “Then why haven’t any of you tried it on crops? If we cross-breed crops with different properties, won’t we get better ones?
The three gardeners were extremely nervous and quickly kowtowed, “It’s this servant’s fault!”
They did not know why the Emperor was suddenly unhappy, but they could not understand what the Emperor was asking.
The Emperor was speechless. He did not even know why they were so afraid of him.
He waved his hand. ‘Get up. I’m not blaming you.”
The three gardeners stood up, trembling, but they still looked down at the floor.
Yang Da was hesitating whether to say it or not. The Emperor saw that he wanted to say something but hesitated, and said sternly, “If you have something to say, then say it!’
“Yes,” Yang Da quickly replied. “Your Majesty, wheat and rice can not be crossbred like this. Only the same species can.”
In other words, it was not their fault that they did not use it on crops.
“Who asked you to crossbreed rice with wheat?” the Emperor said unhappily.
“Can’t you do it with rice, and a the same time, do it with wheat?” 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
“Emperor, don’t all paddies look the same? How else can they crossbreed?” The Emperor was speechless.
Fine, so they did not understand. It seemed that Princess Ding’an’s brain was better, to be able to think of the problem of different crops growing in different areas.
The Emperor looked at Jian Qingqing with satisfaction.
“Rice and wheat show slightly different performance in different areas,” Jian Qingqing reminded.
The florists were all confused. “Is there a difference? Aren’t they the same?”
Jian Qingqing felt that it was because it was difficult to travel in ancient times, so few people would go to places with soil and climate that were completely different from their own hometown. Those who often traveled around were mostly students and businessmen. Most of them were not familiar with crops, so naturally, they did not find any differences in the crops of different places.
Even if they did, they would only think that it was due to regional reasons and would not realize that the crops had changed.
The Emperor shook his head in disagreement. “How can they be the same? The crops in the dry areas are more resistant to drought, but the yield is not high. The crops in areas with good weather are higher in yield, but they are not resistant to drought. Isn’t this the difference?
He relayed the words that Jian Qingqing had just told him.
The gardener was indeed a gardener. He was busy all day cultivating new species and often dealt with crossbreeding, so he quickly understood the key to this.
“In this way, we can cultivate crops that are both drought-resistant and have high yield.”
The Emperor slapped the table in excitement and laughed. “That’s right!”
His face was red as he looked at Jian Qingqing, “Princess Ding’an, you are really the lucky star of our Great Wei!”
“I don’t deserve such praise.” Jian Qingqing smiled.
The Emperor was completely immersed in his own emotions.. “In this case, if we continue to cultivate it, we can get higher and higher yield crops?
