The sonorous and powerful voice echoed, and the crowd couldn't help but nod.
He Donglai cheered loudly, "Yes! This case must not be made, otherwise we, Dali, will become a soft persimmon trampled by other countries."
"Well said! General Wu is exaggerating the prestige of our country. This officer should be killed."
"..."
All the people from the main war faction applauded.
In terms of words, they can't compare to the literati of the Zhuhe faction. It is a fact that Wu Qiaojun violated Gu Sheng's order. Although they understand the reason, they can't say that they will not accept the emperor's order. Naturally, they can't find a way for Wu Qiaojun. Reasonable explanation.
But the great talent was different. He swept away the depression in their hearts and made everyone understand that the leader of the Tuoba clan not only killed well, he should also publicize it.
Many students also looked excited.
Zhu Tianzheng nodded subconsciously.
Han Sanqian looked livid and sneered: "It's easy to shout a few slogans and make people's blood boil, but what about the people in the disaster area?"
"These remarks of yours seem reasonable, but they are still the words of a scholar. Fighting a war is not just about shouting. It requires money and food. Now that the grasslands are being invaded, what do you tell me to do? The national treasury is empty. Where do these military rations come from? Come?"
"When you were at Tianxiang Tower, you also talked nonsense, but in the end you didn't answer Quanzi's questions. Those questions are the fundamental ones. If these problems are not solved, all the slogans will be nonsense."
grass! Sissy daddy?
No wonder it’s so directed at myself, I understand.
That was even more intolerable. Lin Bai immediately said: "Master Han, does he know why Lin didn't answer those questions? That's because he wanted to save some face for you."
"you……"
Han Sanqian was extremely angry.
Lin Bai did not frighten him, and continued: "I am rich from all over the world and occupy the most fertile land in this land. However, just one disaster caused the people to be displaced and starved to death."
"On the way to Beijing to take the exam, Lin and a group of students from Jiangnan witnessed the disaster in Hedong with their own eyes. It can only be described in four words. It is terrible."
"I know you will say that this is a natural disaster and has nothing to do with you, but if the people have enough food, or if you are effective in disaster relief, why would it be like this?"
Han Sanqian seemed to want to refute.
Lin Bai was the first to say: "Don't deny it in a hurry. In Pingan County, a group of students from Jiangnan saw the tragic situation there and spontaneously wrote letters to all walks of life in Jiangnan, asking for their support. Within half a month, a large amount of aid arrived from Jiangnan, and Pingan The disaster situation in the county has been alleviated.”
"And this is just the spontaneous behavior of some students. If you do it, you can definitely do better than them, but what is the reality?"
Hearing this, all the students from Jiangnan looked proud.
Um! Even if they escaped in the first place, it doesn't matter. They did write letters.
Qi Renjie was even more excited. He had been working there for two months and the disaster had long since disappeared. Maybe it won't be long before Ping'an County becomes the most dazzling county in Dali.
That way, someone's face will shine.
The crowd around him obviously didn't know this yet, and they were talking quietly.
Lin Bai continued: "Besides, the people have no surplus food. Maybe you think it still has nothing to do with you, but does it really have nothing to do with you?"
"What is the purpose of being an official? Isn't it just to make the people live a good life, to promote economic development, and to increase food production? If you can't do these, or don't even think about it, then what's the point of being an official?"
"absurd!"
Han Sanqian scolded: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country. Do you want to promote your business theory again? As for increasing food production, it is related to the fertility of the land. This has been the case since ancient times. How to improve it?"
"Okay! Lin will not talk about business today, just agriculture. Is this the case since ancient times?"
Lin Bai asked, "Even if this is true, aren't there any alternatives? Have you ever thought about it? Have you looked for it?"
"You certainly don't, but I do."
Someone started to show off his acting skills.
"When he was in Jiangzhou, Lin saw that silkworm farmers were having a hard time, so he thought that if their output could be increased, life would not be so hard. Later, with the help of my two wives, we established the Sericulture Farmers Association to help Silkworm farmers increased their production.”
"After this experience, I was wondering whether the yield of rice could be increased. To this end, I spent a lot of time and energy."
Everyone couldn't help but look forward to it after hearing this.
Even Han Sanqian had a flash of surprise in his eyes, wondering if the other party really...
Lin Bai then said: "But unfortunately, I failed in the end. However, I did not give up. The temporary failure may be because my method is wrong. I can change my thinking first."
"So I started looking for substitutes, collecting crops from various places, surrounding countries, and even the Western Region of Turpan. I collected them and then cultivated them in various ways. This cost me countless family fortunes. Fortunately, my wife gave me full support."
Someone's face doesn't turn red and their heart doesn't beat.
The little girl would be very excited if she were here, because her brother-in-law is talking serious nonsense again.
"Finally, Emperor Tian has paid off, I succeeded!"
What!
Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and even the Queen couldn't help but say: "You succeeded?"
"good!"
Lin Bai looked at the Queen, bowed and said, "The common people have cultivated a crop whose yield can reach at least three thousand kilograms per mu."
"What did you say?"
Zhu Tianzheng couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly and looked directly at Lin Bai.
Three thousand kilograms, what is the concept? It is almost ten times the current crops. Once planted in large quantities, food will still be a problem!
All kinds of food and grass are no problem.
Not only Zhu Tianzheng, but also the civil and military officials in the court were stunned. Yan Zhenlin's sharp eyes swept over him, "Lin Qingfeng, this matter is of great importance. Are you telling the truth?"
Lin Bai said: "How dare ordinary people speak nonsense in front of His Majesty?"
Yan Zhenlin hurriedly asked: "Where is that thing?"
At this time, Zhu Ziyan suddenly took out something and asked, "But this?"
I saw that she had obtained a potato plant from nowhere. It was full of potatoes. There were many potatoes, but they were only the size of eggs and were obviously not mature yet.
Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then realized that Ping'an County was indeed being targeted by the higher authorities, and this girl was one of them.
She should have been paying attention to herself, but she didn't know what this thing was, so she was probably researching it.
The queen asked: "Qi'er, what is this?"
Zhu Ziyan replied: "Mother, it's a long story. I will explain it to you later." She said and looked at Lin Bai again.
To be exact, everyone was looking at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai expressed that he was afraid, but fortunately he took the initiative to speak up first, otherwise being found out by the superiors would be completely different from taking credit for his work.
Immediately said: "Yes! This thing is called a potato. It can be used as a staple food and can also be used for cooking. However, the one in the hands of the seventh princess is not mature yet, otherwise it would be much bigger..."
Zhu Tianzheng looked at Zhu Ziyan, who said: "It is indeed not mature yet. If what he said is true and based on the fruit of this plant, the yield per mu will be at least three thousand catties, and may even reach four thousand catties."
What!
As soon as these words came out, the huge crowd immediately became excited.
Four thousand pounds! What is this concept? It completely subverted their understanding.
Zhu Tianzheng's expression changed, and he immediately said: "This is the end of the imperial examination. Everyone should step back. No one is allowed to spread the news about the new crops, otherwise they will be executed without mercy."
"Lin Qingfeng, you stay!"
…
