Chapter 339 Autumn Harvest, Hybrid Rice Comes Out!

A few days later, the triumphant return of the Northern Army meant that Great Wu had ended the situation of separatist regimes and returned to one body.

The empress Longyan was very happy, and all the civil and military officials were very happy. The three days of Daqing were celebrated.

Mo Rushuang and Guo Shaoshuai also returned from northern Hebei.

On the second day after King Jibei was captured, they hurried back to visit Shimen.

Firstly, he wanted to see Shimen who had been away for a long time, secondly, he wanted to expose the crimes of King Hebei to Shimen and the martial arts in northern Hebei, and thirdly, he wanted to protect Shimen from being liquidated by the court.

With Lin Beifan’s guarantee, Tiejianmen was safe and sound in this liquidation.

However, when they returned, they still looked sad.

“My son, the life of the elders in my hometown is really miserable! Along the way, there are ten rooms and nine empty houses, very few people, and many fertile fields are deserted! It’s only been a year, and it has become like this!”

< p>
Guo Shaoshuai gritted his teeth: “It’s all the damn king of Hebei. For his own ambitions, he didn’t care about the lives of the people and ruined my hometown like this. I really want to rush into the prison and kill him!”

Mo Rushuang grabbed Lin Beifan’s arm and said expectantly, “My lord, can you find a way to save my hometown?”

“My lord, you are the only one who can do it now!” Guo Shaoshuai said urgently.

Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m ready. Tomorrow morning, I will show the imperial court, amnesty the world, and revive the Great Wu! Jibei, I will definitely not forget it!”

The two were overjoyed: “Thank you son!”

On the second day, morning morning.

The female emperor sat high in the Dragon Court, and said majesticly: “Now Jiangnan, Wuxi, and Northern Hebei have been recovered, the imperial court has been reorganized, and the power has shocked the Quartet! However, these three places have been ravaged by the three anti-kings, and the economy is in decline. , the people are in dire straits, and a hundred wastes are waiting for prosperity! Dear dear friends, what is your best strategy?”

As Prime Minister, Lin Beifan did his part: “I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, after the great chaos, there must be great order, so that the world can be peaceful! This is the law of governance drafted by my humble minister, the law of peace for the people, please take a look at it!”

The empress said anxiously: “Submit it quickly!”

The empress opened it to take a look, and it was densely written with words.

The main policies are as follows.

One is light corvee and thin tax.

As long as you go to Jiangnan, Wuxi, and North Hebei to open up wasteland and farmland, you will be exempted from tax in the first year, halved in the second year, and only 3/4 of the tax in the third year, reducing the burden on the common people.

The second is returning labor to farming.

It turns out that the three anti-kings recruited a lot of young laborers in order to usurp the throne. Now that the civil war is over, according to their choice, they will be sent back to their hometowns to farm. At the same time, people who have been displaced from other places are encouraged to return to their hometowns to farm.

The third is to encourage childbearing.

The more children you have, the more you will be exempted from hard labor.

……

Actually, this is the way to recuperate.

It was Lin Beifan who combined the experience of previous dynasties and dynasties, and then based on Great Wu’s situation, to write a comprehensive method.

After reading it, the empress was very satisfied: “Aiqing’s method is good, very perfect and very specific! Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look. If there is no problem, follow this method!”

After being circulated by all officials, Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up and said, “The prime minister’s method is indeed very perfect, and I don’t have any opinions! It’s just that the prime minister proposed in the article that it is necessary to revive the Great Wu within three years. Whimsical?”

“The land in the south of the Yangtze River still has a foundation. After encouraging farming and production, as long as the weather is not bad, there will be a good harvest in the coming year! Within three years, it should be able to recover by 80% or 90%!”

“However, Wuxi and Hebei are very difficult!”

“First of all, one of these two places is dry and rainless, and the other is freezing. Farming is not easy at all! Now, being plagued by two anti-kings year after year, the population loss is serious, the fields are barren, and the grain is in short supply!”

< p>
“Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to restore the two places to their original state within three years! Even if you give him 10 years, it may not be possible!”

Lin Beifan laughed and said, “Master Qian’s words are very true! But this method proposed by Wei Chen must have been verified and demonstrated!”

Qian Yuanshen humbly asked for advice: “Your Excellency, please give me some advice!”

“First of all, Mr. Qian, all your judgments are based on past experience! But today is different, our Great Wu is no longer the Great Wu of the past!”

Lin Beifan said confidently: “First, we have magic cement, which can quickly build new water conservancy facilities, protect the fields and farmers, and increase grain production and income!”

Qian Yuanshen nodded: “What the Prime Minister said is very true, this artifact can shorten the time by two years!”

Lin Beifan said again: “Now that Great Wu is unified, the river system in the territory is completely connected and extends in all directions! We have a powerful water vehicle hovercraft, which can be quickly transported within various places, and can promote commercial development, as well as the flow of people and materials!”

Qian Yuanshen nodded again: “This artifact can shorten the time by another two years!”

Lin Beifan went on to say: “Since the beginning of this year, the weather in our capital has been smooth, and the grain harvest has been bumper! Coupled with the supplies from the Great Moon and Great Summer, our imperial court has sufficient food and supplies!”

“With the food from our imperial court, we can temporarily feed the poor peasants in the three places and let them grow food! In this way, the population damage will be reduced, and there will be more people growing food, and the food production will definitely increase!”

Qian Yuanshen nodded again: “This move can shorten the time by another year, but there are still 5 years left!”

“There is one last point, which is also very important!”

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, the autumn harvest has already begun, and the hybrid rice planted by my minister has also had a bumper harvest! This hybrid rice is resistant to drought and cold, and can adapt to more complex environments! As long as this rice is used to grow grain, the national grain production will definitely increase by 4 ~50%! The food problems in Wuxi and Hebei will also be resolved!”

“Hybrid rice!!!”

The empress is not calm anymore, and the officials are not calm anymore!

Since last year, Lin Beifan has been talking about planting hybrid rice.

And promised that as long as the country promotes hybrid rice, grain production will increase by 40-50%, and the problem of feeding tens of millions will be solved!

Originally, everyone didn’t pay much attention to it!

After all, this kind of thing is too miraculous, miraculous beyond imagination!

Unexpectedly, in less than two years, he really made it happen!

The empress was short of breath: “Aiqing, have you really created a hybrid rice that increases yield and income?”

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said, “How dare you lie to Your Majesty about this kind of thing?”

The empress became even more anxious: “Where is the hybrid rice, let me see it!”

“Please move your Majesty and all the officials to the field!”

Half an hour later, Lin Beifan took the empress and all the officials out of the city and came to his own land.

This is the fertile land bestowed upon him by the empress. Now it has thousands of acres, all connected together, very vast.

Lin Beifan can also be regarded as the landlord class now.

It’s autumn now, the grain is ripe, and everyone is busy harvesting it.

However, Lin Beifan’s food was not harvested.

“Please look, Your Majesty, this area is full of hybrid rice!” Lin Beifan said proudly, pointing to his fertile land.

The empress and all the officials were shocked: “This…”

Qian Yuanshen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, frowned: “My lord, please forgive me for my stupidity. Is this really a hybrid rice? It does look more lush, but it is not much different from other rice!”

The empress also frowned: “Is this really a hybrid rice? The yield is not much different…”

The others nodded.

Lin Beifan smiled and said: “Your Majesty does not know, this is indeed a hybrid rice! This is a hybrid mother plant, no different from other rice! However, as long as his rice is planted, the production and income will definitely increase in the coming year!”

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll take you to another place to have a look, and then you’ll understand!”

Lin Beifan led the crowd to another place.

Rice is also planted there, less than two or three acres of land, but the rice planted is much higher than the surrounding rice, almost as tall as an adult.

What’s more, the ears of rice growing from above are bigger, bigger, and fuller, like a small broom.

The empress and all the officials were shocked: “This rice…”

Lin Beifan said excitedly: “This is the real hybrid rice! Last year, Weichen planted a batch of hybrid rice in Guozijian, just like what I saw before! Last year’s autumn harvest was saved, and this year’s spring was planted here. Now it is finally It is forming, and the harvest is in sight! Your Majesty, please look, is this rice big?”

The empress said excitedly: “Big!”

Lin Bofan asked, “Is this rice stalk high?”

The empress said excitedly again: “High!”

Lin Beifan asked again: “Is this ear of rice beautiful?”

The Empress is still excited: “Beautiful!”

Lin Beifan asked again: “Will this rice be promoted nationwide, can it solve the food problem?”

The empress nodded affirmatively: “Yes! I can!”

Lin Beifan smiled and said, “My lords, what do you think?”

All the officials were excited.

“Good rice! Really good rice!”

“I have never seen such a good rice in my life. It grows so tall, so strong, and so beautiful!”

“Once it is promoted nationwide, it will definitely solve the problem of feeding tens of millions of people!”

“The problems of Wuxi and Hebei have also been solved!”

“With this god rice, my great martial arts will surely stabilize Anbang! God bless the great martial arts!”

“Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!”

……

“Haha…” The empress laughed loudly.

With these tall, strong and beautiful rice plants, how could her martial arts be unstable, how could she be unhappy?

The mass production has increased by 40% to 50%, and it can also grow in arid areas and severe cold areas, solving the food problem of tens of millions of people across the country. It is simply the super food of Dingguo Anbang!

This thing is more precious than gold, so you have to look after it!

The empress immediately issued an order: “Immediately send heavy troops to guard this piece of hybrid rice. Don’t damage it, don’t let it out, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded! In addition, the name of the hybrid rice is not beautiful, so let’s call it Hybrid rice, which means peace in the world!”

“Your Majesty is wise!” All the officials said in unison.
