Chapter 340 Food is a weapon, and it is the most powerful weapon!

The empress looked at this piece of golden rice, her eyes were full of hope.

With this batch of Hybrid rice that has increased production and income, her Great Wu’s country will be permanent, her people in Great Wu will be able to eat and drink enough, live and work in peace and contentment, and her world will be peaceful and happy!

The empress turned her head and looked at Lin Beifan who brought all this together: “Aiqing, you have worked so hard for the past two years! For the sake of the country, the country, and the common people, you have researched this magic rice that will stabilize the country!”

Lin Beifan shook his head slightly: “It’s not hard work, because I’m standing on the shoulders of giants! There are giants in front of us to overcome obstacles and open up the way forward, so that I can research this kind of magic rice! Compared with him, I am inferior~ Far away!”

The Empress smiled and shook her head, a little rebuked: “Aiqing, you are being modest! In the past two years, you have been the one who has been the one who has presided over the research on Hybrid rice. I don’t know how many criticisms and misunderstandings you have faced, but you have endured it! From my point of view, You are that giant! It was you who held up the sky of Great Wu with your shoulders!”

Lin Beifan smiled wryly in his heart, and didn’t explain much, because they didn’t understand it.

“To tell you the truth, Aiqing, you have developed the Hybrid rice in Dingguoanbang. Your contribution is no less than that of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and blessing hundreds of millions of people! But you are already the prime minister, and you are still a loyal and brave man in the court. Above people, I don’t even know what to reward you! You tell me what you want, and I will reward you!” the empress said loudly.

All of a sudden, the envious and jealous eyes of all the officials came over!

This promise is really impressive!

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty! But the humble minister has already been appointed as the prime minister. He has a high position and power, and he has no worries about food and clothing. It seems that he doesn’t need anything!”

The empress said loudly: “You can’t be rewarded for your meritorious service, and you can’t even do it!”

“Since this is the case, I only hope that the imperial court can allocate 10 million taels of funds every year, so that I can continue to study Hybrid rice and introduce higher-yielding grains so that more people can eat!”

The female emperor’s delicate body was startled: “You only want money to continue researching Hybrid rice?”

“Yes, this is what I want!” Lin Beifan said eagerly: “Your Majesty, think about it, we have already researched the Hybrid rice that increases production and income, which proves that this direction is feasible, why not continue to research?”

“Now it is the first generation, which can increase production by 40% to 50%! When it comes to the second generation, it may be able to increase production by 50% to 60%! What about the third and fourth generations? If we continue to study, we may be able to research the yield per mu A thousand catties of super rice!”

“Super rice with a yield of 1,000 jin per mu!!!” Everyone gasped.

You know, the current rice yield is generally 200 catties per mu.

If the yield per mu reaches 250 jin, that is already a bumper harvest.

For example, the Hybrid rice developed by Lin Beifan has increased its yield by 40 to 50 percent on this basis, increasing the yield by nearly 100 catties. That is already very scary.

Now, he even said that he would research a super rice with a yield of 1,000 jin per mu!

This…

Although it’s a bit exaggerated, it sounds so exciting!

The empress asked urgently: “Aiqing, can this really be done?”

“Your Majesty, it depends on man’s effort!” Lin Beifan said with a smile: “We have even researched the Hybrid rice with a yield of 300 catties per mu. Is it still far away to produce a thousand catties per mu? It’s done, it’s enough to solve the problem of eating for many people!”

“That’s true!” The empress agreed very much, and she was very moved when she saw Lin Beifan: “Aiqing, you made great achievements again, but you didn’t receive any rewards, and you were still thinking about the food problem of the common people. My Great Wu needs a pillar like you It is my fortune and the country’s fortune to have you in Great Wu!”

Lin Beifan was also very moved, because what the Empress said was so kind!

He is for Great Wu, for the common people!

Absolutely not for greedy money!

My personality is so great that saints will kneel down when they see me!

At this time, the Empress turned her head and said to the Minister of the Household Department: “Qian Aiqing, starting from this year, a budget of 10 million yuan will be reserved every year as Lin Aiqing’s rice research funds!”

“Support the Prime Minister to continue to study Hybrid rice, I agree very much! But 10 million taels per year…is it too much?” Qian Yuanshen was a little unhappy: “I feel that it doesn’t seem to use much money, three Four million taels should be enough!”

“Shut up! You are an outsider guiding an expert!” Lin Beifan yelled: “Do you think you can research Hybrid rice with three to four million taels? It’s just a dream! You give others three to four million taels and see if you can do it.” Research out Hybrid rice?”

Qian Yuanshen was speechless after being scolded: “I…”

Lin Beifan criticized: “Tell you, if I hadn’t posted money in, 10 million taels would not be enough! You actually want to deduct money from it, delay rice research, and prevent the people from eating. It’s not a thing! It’s inhumane!”

Qian Yuanshen scolded with grievances all over his face.

Shall I just say something more?

She actually scolded me for not being a thing, and not being human!

Come on, I won’t be too lazy to talk too much in the future, it’s not my money anyway!

“I didn’t expect you to pay so much, Aiqing. It’s really hard work for you!” The empress said distressedly: “Qian Aiqing, you don’t want to fight anymore, it’s just 10 million taels! No matter how hard it is, you can’t be a loyal minister, no matter how tired you can’t be a good official.” !”

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!” Lin Beifan was grateful.

In the future, there will be 10 million embezzled funds every year, so cool!

However, Baiguan is extremely crooked!

He is the only loyal minister?

It’s okay to laugh at him?

cut!

Among all the civil and military officials, just pulling one out is more kind than him!

“However, Your Majesty, although this Hybrid rice has strong adaptability and high yield, it is not without its shortcomings!” Lin Beifan said again.

The empress frowned: “Aiqing, what are its shortcomings?”

Lin Beifan reported: “The first disadvantage is that the taste may not be very good, and it doesn’t taste like the original rice fragrance!”

The empress frowned, and said with a smile: “This is not a major shortcoming, as long as it can make people eat enough! Compared with the matter of being hungry, the taste and taste are not a big deal!”

“Your Majesty’s words are very true! The second shortcoming is… Hybrid rice cannot be kept as seeds!”

Everyone was shocked: “Can’t keep the seeds? This…”

Lin Beifan calmly explained: “Because the principle of this Hybrid rice is to use the heterosis of the parents, the offspring after hybridization will inherit the excellent traits of both sides, so the yield is high and the adaptability is strong! However, his gene is heterozygous, and the offspring will appear The genes are segregated, and the phenotypes are inconsistent!”

The officials were confused when they heard this: “What does this mean?”

“Plainly speaking, the first generation of Hybrid rice can increase the yield by 40% to 50%! By the second generation, the yield will drop a lot, and only about 20% will be collected! By the third generation, it is basically the same as ordinary rice. Therefore, this Hybrid rice must be artificially intervened every year, and we can breed it to ensure high yield!”

Everyone looked distressed: “Ah? It’s like this?”

“Is there no solution once and for all?” the Empress asked unwillingly.

0 ····························

“There is a way! Only through multiple generations of cultivation, selection and breeding until the rice with stable traits is cultivated, that’s it! However, it takes a lot of time, ranging from five to six years to thirty to forty years! Therefore, Weichen applied for special funds to conduct research in this area!”

Lin Beifan asked for funds for himself again, and made up a reasonable excuse.

The empress said loudly: “We must continue to study! Even if the production is only increased by a few catties, it is a huge improvement!”

“Your Majesty’s words are very true!” Lin Beifan said with a smile: “Actually, Hybrid rice cannot be saved, so it is a good thing for now!”

The empress was puzzled: “Aiqing, why do you say that?”

“Your Majesty, food is actually a weapon, and it is the most powerful weapon!”

Lin Beifan said meaningfully: “Hybrid rice has a high yield, and everyone wants to own it! However, if you want to get Hybrid rice, you can only get it from our court! In this way, can they not support our court’s rule? Can they not obey orders? Is it for our court? In the future, it will not be so easy for Great Wu to split out!”

The empress’s eyes are bright, and the eyes of all officials are bright!

…. …… 0

As Lin Beifan said, this food is the most powerful weapon!

With it, the people of the whole country will definitely support the imperial court!

Whoever is disobedient will have no food!

The empress said excitedly: “Okay! This Hybrid rice is really a good thing, I like it very much! With it, not only can the country be stabilized, but also the rule of the court can be maintained, and the world will return to its heart! Haha!”

“Your Majesty’s words are absolutely true!” All the officials said in unison.

“Lin Aiqing, this Hybrid rice was developed by you, so you can promote it to the whole country, so that people all over the country can eat food! In addition, there is also a method of rest and recuperation, and you will also preside over it! Try to achieve it within three years. Revive Great Wu!”

“Your Majesty, obey the order!” Lin Beifan said loudly.

After receiving the order from the empress, Lin Beifan immediately started to make arrangements.

Gather civil and military officials, and carry out the method of recuperation according to the responsibilities of each department.

The policy is very good, but the most important thing is to implement it.

If the people below are disobedient and poorly implemented, no matter how good the policy is, it will be useless.

So, Lin Beifan spoke out directly.

He will go to various places to inspect from time to time, and if he finds that the implementation is not effective, he will immediately ask the local officials to question him.

Not only will they be held accountable, but they will also search their homes.

If the situation is serious, just chop off your head and decide for yourself.

All the officials kept silent and agreed again and again.

Some of them are not afraid of the empress now, but Lin Beifan.

The empress also talked about some reasoning, taking into account the face of the royal family, and upholding the court’s laws, but Lin Beifan didn’t talk about morality or humaneness at all.

He really ransacked the house, and it was very ruthless!

No matter where your gold, silver and jewelry are hidden, he can find them.

The origin is unknown, so I copied it directly.

Corrupt officials are not afraid of honest officials, what they fear most are corrupt officials who are even more corrupt than them!

Corrupt officials who are more corrupt than them, have more power than them, and are utterly merciless, are the most terrifying!

Therefore, this method of rest and recuperation has been carried out smoothly.

There is also no obstacle to the promotion of Hybrid rice.

Jiangnan, Wuxi, and Northern Hebei have no more food. Now that the imperial court provides grain seeds for free, who wouldn’t want it?

The civil and military officials saw the high yield of this grain with their own eyes, and they wanted to ask for some seeds from Lin Beifan.
