Chapter 37 Zhao Yingluo wins
On the eve of August [-]th, the bet between Shen Wanshu (Zhao Yingluo), the princess of the Song Dynasty, and Liang Da, the king of the Song Dynasty, is about to be announced. This bet has once again attracted people of all ages in Kaifeng City, from the gentry to the common people. As early as a few days ago, Then he began to pay attention to this amazing gamble.
If Shen Wanshu wins, Liang Da loses his million acres of land, and if Liang Dash wins, Shen Wanshu loses her 40 acres of land as well as the money-making machines Dasong Bank and Zui Furong.
On the eve of harvest, thousands of people once again gathered in the fields adjacent to the two time in the summer, Liang Da lost all his face. I wonder if Liang Da can avenge his shame this fall.
When everyone saw the growth of corn on both sides, they already had the result in their minds.
In Liang Da's field, the corn plants varied in height, fat and thin, while the corn in Zhao Yingluo's field grew neatly and uniformly.
Liang Da has been hanging out in the brothel tavern for the past two months, living happily, dreaming of winning over Zhao Yingluo in the autumn harvest and taking over all her Song Dynasty Bank and Zui Hibiscus.
It wasn't until the day of the official harvest that he led his vast team of family members to the field.
Liang Da came to the crowd, and his eyes were full of sympathy. This time, Liang Da lost so much that he would never have a chance to make a comeback.
After Liang Da saw the growth of his own corn, he was stunned for a moment, and then compared it with the growth of the corn next door. He felt a little panicked and hurriedly called over the farmers who were digging from Zhao Yingluo's place, and scolded them.
"What's going on? Why does her corn grow so well, while our corn grows crooked and cracked?"
The farmers were shaking their heads like rattles. They didn't know why the corn of the two families was growing so poorly.
"My lord, the little people are just like the neighbor next door. They water when they need to water, fertilize when they need to, and catch insects when they need to. In the first month, the corn growth of both families was about the same. But in the later stages, our family's corn grew almost the same. Corn grows in different heights, and even the size of the cobs is different.”
"It's not just a villain who waits patiently. It's true that a villain doesn't know that there is such a huge difference in the growth of corn between the two families."
Liang Da became angry and said, "Trash! A bunch of trash! If you hadn't waited so hard, how could the corn growth of the two families be so different? If I lose this bet, watch out for your lives."
"My lord, please don't be pessimistic. According to the villain, although our corn does not grow as well as hers, this corn cob has everything it needs. Our winning rate is still quite high."
Liang Da took a look at his field. It was indeed as the farmer said. Every corn plant was covered with corn cobs. He should have a good chance of winning. Thinking of this, he felt a little more at ease.
Seeing him go from being angry and manic to regaining his confidence, Zhao Yingluo sneered. Wait until August [-]th, you may cry.
The farmers in Liang Da didn't know why the corn growth between the two companies was so different, but Zhao Yingluo knew.
Corn is not a selfing crop, but a hybrid seeds she took out from the dimensional space were all high-quality varieties selected through a series of crosses. They have high yields, are resistant to pests, and can withstand you can’t save seeds!Because hybrid varieties will produce various unfavorable mutations in the second generation due to different genes and re-crossing, which will lead to reduced yields or even no harvests.
Therefore, Liang Da's wishful thinking was wrong.
He thought that by purchasing corn seeds from grain merchants and then poaching a few farmers with good planting skills at a high price, he would be able to win. In fact, he lost at the starting line.
The corn plants in Liang Da's field appear to have corn cobs, but in fact there are very few or no corn kernels!In view of the large bet, in order to ensure fairness, [-] troops stationed in Kaifeng replaced the original farmers to harvest corn.
Of course, the result of the competition does not need to wait until all the corn fields have been harvested. Instead, Zhao Yingluo will choose [-] acres of his own land, and Liang Da will choose [-] acres of land for yield comparison.
If the output of Zhao Yingluo's own [-] acres of land can exceed the output of Liang Dana's [-] acres of land, then Zhao Yingluo wins!Otherwise, Liang Dasheng wins.
Following Zongze's order, an army of ten thousand people poured into the 120 acres of land like an ant colony, and it took less than an hour to finish harvesting the 120 acres of corn.
Two houses piled corn cobs into two hills, one large and one small.
Judging from the size of the two piles of corn cobs, Liang Da will definitely win this competition, but judging from the quality of each cob, the outcome is unpredictable.
Zhao Yingluo's guess was correct. Not only were the corn cobs in Liang Da's place different in size, but the number of corn kernels on the cobs was also different.
Some corn cobs have full corn kernels and are not deflated, but most of the cobs do not have all the corn kernels on them. Some cobs even have only a few kernels on them. What is even more bizarre is that some cobs only have a single corn kernel or no corn kernels at all.
On the other hand, Zhao Yingluo's pile was three times smaller than Liang Da's pile, but the corn cobs were all yellow!It's golden and makes people feel happy just looking at it.
By this time, Liang Da started to really panic. If she really lost, then the 100 million acres of land would be given to her in vain.
How to do how to do……
Liang Da was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but the two piles of corn here had already begun to be threshed and hour later.
The two piles of corn cobs turned into two piles of smaller corn kernels, but this time the two piles of corn kernels were almost the same size. In other words, the yield of Zhao Yingluo's twenty acres of land was almost the same as the yield of Liang Da's one hundred acres of land. .
It was only at this time that the beating hearts of Zongze and the three old men gradually stabilized. Maybe she would create a miracle again.
The results came out soon. The total output of Zhao Yingluo's twenty acres of land was 210 stones!The yield per mu is more than ten , the total output of Liang Dana's 190 acres of land is only [-] shi, and the output per mu is less than [-] shi.
The winner is obvious!Zhao Yingluo won this bet!This means that Liang Dana’s 100 million acres of farmland will be owned by Zhao Yingluo from now on.
At this moment, Zhao Yingluo and her right-hand man were cheering and celebrating their victory.
The three old men had gratified looks on their faces. It seemed that they were too worried. If this girl said she could win, she would definitely win!Does this mean it is also right to allow her to recruit private soldiers?Will the Song Dynasty win again because of her? Among the three people, Lu Haowen was the most emotional!He was glad that his original choice was right.
Who would have thought that the distressed princess who had just escaped from the Jinren two years ago and defected to herself would become the number one landowner in the Song Dynasty in just two years?
Now that she has food, private soldiers and even a town of her own, she is making great strides towards that step.
Maybe in less than three years, the world of Song Dynasty will be turned upside down! (End of this chapter)
