Chapter 1044: Uncle Ding Makes His Move 3
To put it bluntly, after reading so many books, including three-fifths of the books in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, Zhang Ronghua was now a walking dictionary. He was the most talented person in the Great Xia Dynasty. In terms of knowledge, he could beat anyone. Even the three dukes and the old teachers were not enough.
With the edible nature of rice, the vitality of cacti, and the reproductive ability of weeds, new varieties were formed. Models were derived to simulate various scenarios, starting from fertile fields, to less fertile fields, and finally dry fields, including barren mountains, deserts, and other harsh environments. The new varieties were planted to simulate climate change and grow rapidly in the simulation.
The direction was right, and the production capacity was very exaggerated.
With the new species planted in fertile fields, the yield per mu could reach 700 catties, the yield per mu in less fertile fields could reach 600 catties, and even the yield per mu in dry fields could reach 400 catties. The yield per mu in barren mountains and deserts could reach 200 catties. It was simply insane!
However, the rice planted had a little more poison, which was harmful to the human body. Long-term consumption would affect life.
He continued to think. What was wrong?
After reflecting on the growth process of these new species, he came to a conclusion: coordination. Although the new species had integrated the vitality of the cactus and the reproductive ability of the weeds, it had become bloated and had conflicting attributes. If he could solve this problem, it would be easily solved.
Many plants, crops, and even medicinal herbs appeared one by one. He transferred the attributes of these things into them one by one and simulated their growth to find the most suitable method.
This process couldn’t be rushed. He needed to experiment.
..
In the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince returned from the palace after he was done with his administrative matters.
Shangwen Hall.
Shuang ‘er came in from outside, carrying some pastries and spiritual fruits, and placed them on the table.
The Crown Prince placed his brush on the inkstone and casually picked up a piece of osmanthus cake. Just as he was about to eat it, he stopped and frowned. He looked at the cake in his hand. It was clearly no different, but the thing in his body moved and gave off a sense of resistance. It was as if it was silently saying that there was a great evil poison hidden inside!
“What’s wrong, Your Highness?” Shuang ‘er was puzzled.
” Get some water.” The Crown Prince put down the things and his expression turned cold.
Shuang ‘er hurriedly did as she was told. She held the basin and the towel.
After washing, he disinfected it.
“It’s poisonous,” the Crown Prince pointed at the pastries on the table.
The two women were stunned and could not believe it. After these things were made, they had already been tested for poison to ensure that there were no problems before they were brought over. However, since His Highness said so, although they did not know why, there must be a problem.
“I’ll take it down and examine it now!” The Green Girl stepped forward.
He took these things and left.
Plop!
Shuang ‘er knelt on the ground.” This servant was negligent. I almost harmed you!”
The Crown Prince was expressionless as he thought about who would use such a method to take his life…
Very quickly.
The Green Girl returned with a serious expression.” It has been tested. The poison is called the Reincarnation Heart-Devouring Worm. It is colorless and odorless. It is very concealed and can hide from most poison tests!” This type of Gu would not act up in the beginning, it fed on life force and nurtured Gu worms in the body. When it formed, the symptoms would appear and it would be delayed! At that time, no one can save him. He will have already fused with his body and devoured his body and soul. Only when he has devoured the victim will he die.”
Her beautiful eyes were cold and murderous.
” How dare they think of such a vicious method!”
Shuang ‘er kowtowed one after another. Soon, her forehead was red and swollen, and her skin was broken. Blood flowed out, and she continued to kowtow as if she did not feel anything.
“Stop,” the Crown Prince said.
Shuang ‘er stopped.
“You have followed me for so long and experienced so much. Logically speaking, even if this poison is hidden, you should not have made such a mistake…”
Shuang ‘er’s beautiful eyes lit up as she thought of something.” Have you forgotten, Your Highness?” she asked hurriedly. The Sixth Prince seems to have been poisoned as well!”
The Crown Prince remembered.
After the Sixth Prince’s death, Wei Shang ordered people to examine his body and then bury him together with Consort Qing. At that time, he received a sensational news that he had been poisoned by the Reincarnation Heart-Devouring Worm. Not many people knew about this, and he was even given a gag order. His father even gave a death order to investigate at all costs.
Thinking of this, the person who had harmed the Sixth Prince attacked again. They had the same goal, wanting to use this method to get rid of him.
He waved his hand, gesturing for her to get up.
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Shuang ‘er hurriedly stood up.
” In the future,” the Crown Prince ordered,” examine the food you give me. Don’t do this again.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Your Highness, do you want to capture someone?” asked the Green Girl.
” Pass on my order to Feng Jianxiu,” the Crown Prince ordered.” Tell him to take control of the Eastern Palace. Don’t alert the enemy for the time being. We’ll take action when I return from the palace.”
“Yes, sir!”
He ordered people to prepare a carriage and rode it towards the Imperial Palace.
Poisoning the Crown Prince to death was such a big matter, and it also involved the dead Sixth Prince. He had to report it to his father before taking action.
..
At the government office.
After deducing for an entire morning, Zhang Ronghua finally deduced a suitable plant-lotus root. The stickiness contained in it perfectly solved this problem.
However, the yield would also decrease by 100 catties. The yield per mu of fertile land would be 600 catties, the yield of less fertile land would be 500 catties, the yield of dry land would be 300 catties, and the yield of barren mountains or deserts would be 100 catties.
“Bring some wild grass, cacti, and lotus roots over,” he instructed.
“Brother, did you succeed?” Ding Yi was excited.
“It’s hard to say for now. We have to test it out,” said Zhang Ronghua with a smile.
“Wait a moment!”
Ding Yi left hurriedly after saying that.
After a while, he returned and put down the three items.
