Huang Jia once again came to Chang'an Township with great fanfare. Under the leadership of Li Zhao, he went directly to the hybrid rice planting area. Everyone looked at the rice fields like monsters.
The rice stalks are much taller than ordinary rice stalks, and the branches and leaves are even thicker. They are covered with heavy ears of rice, and the grains are very large. If the yellow flowers we saw this morning occupy the ears of rice, they are hills and mountains, then the hybrid we see now The ears of rice are like Mount Tai, a majestic existence.
Yes, this rice is like the top of the mountains, standing on top of all the rice, looking down on everything.
Every indicator of it exceeds that of ordinary rice, and is twice that of Huanghuazhan. They dare to conclude that the yield per acre of this rice will definitely exceed imagination.
If there were people who laughed at Li Zhao before for saying that the sixteen stones were a fantasy, they would definitely not do so now, because the full ears of rice had already explained everything.
Li Jinong was overjoyed to see the emperor coming again, and his whole body tensed with nervousness and excitement. He wanted to greet him immediately, but his identity restrictions prevented him from doing so.
The one acre of land was quickly harvested, and when it was brought up and weighed, it turned out to be sixteen stones. It was definitely the first of its kind.
The ministers began to take a breath. Even if they had been fully prepared before, their emotions could not help but fluctuate.
"I really can't imagine that there is such rice in the world?"
"General Li, what's the secret to growing such high-quality rice?" a minister asked Li Zhao quietly.
This issue is also on everyone's mind and they are all listening.
The yield is several times that of ordinary rice. They don't believe it if there is no secret.
"Yes, General Li, we are very curious, can you tell us?"
In fact, Li Zhao had nothing to hide.
"There's a secret! Of course there is one." Li Zhao pretended to smile mysteriously, "For example, this rice seed is an improved variety, but it is not possible to achieve a yield of sixteen stones per mu just by relying on improved varieties. It also requires my family's secret fertilizer."
"Oh! Is that true?" A minister showed great interest and walked out of the row alone. He asked flatteringly with a smile on his face, "I wonder if there are any extra fertilizers and improved seeds? If I can plant some, How wonderful it would be!”
This is a tentative request.
Other ministers were also eager to give it a try, but Li Zhao's words disappointed them.
"I'm sorry, we no longer have good varieties, but we still have fertilizers. If needed, Zhaoda can donate some."
If there are no good seeds, what is the use of giving away fertilizer? This is a waste of words. Of course, they know that it is Li Zhao's polite words.
It was obvious that they didn't want to spread the word, so if they asked again, it would be in vain.
In fact, I don’t blame Li Zhao. These are the seeds. How can I give them more seeds? I haven’t planted enough seeds myself. Three years of responsibility still weighed on him, and he still didn't know where to find the seeds.
Ying Zheng laughed at the ministers asking about seeds and coughed to remind everyone that he was about to speak.
"Li Zhao listens to the order!" He was so excited that he issued a verbal order.
When Li Jinong heard this, his heart beat loudly, and the previous disappointment was wiped away. The bestowal finally came, and all this glory still belonged to the Li family.
"I accept the order!" Li Zhao quickly stepped forward and knelt down.
Everyone in Chang'an Township also knelt down.
"Li Zhao planted sixteen stones worth of rice, which is really a blessing to our government and a blessing to the people. Now I have given you 100,000 acres of land. I hope that you can make all the people of Qin eat this rice within three years."
This is the emperor's hope for Li Zhao, and it is also the important task given to Li Zhao.
A mixed blessing.
Granting 100,000 acres of land means that the land owned by Li Zhao will increase exponentially, which will be very beneficial to future development. He is happy, but thinking about allowing the people to eat this rice within three years is stressful. A bit big for his worries.
You must know that the population of Daqin at the moment is 20 million. It will be very difficult to solve the hunger of 20 million people within three years, unless there are enough seeds, but all his hybrid seeds have been used up, and it is not known whether the second-generation seeds are still available. Can be so productive.
This is a headache.
The emperor's order has been given and he cannot refuse. How to solve it? At this moment, Li Zhao frowned.
Although Huanghuazhan can produce nine stones per mu and has a lot of seeds after harvesting, Huanghuazhan alone cannot complete the task.
This is embarrassing for him.
But he had to accept the order.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Zhao bowed his hands, but felt very bitter in his heart.
When the gift arrived, the system immediately reacted, "Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement. Reward the department store. Do you want to enable it? If so, you will have a great chance of buying what you want from it."
Li Zhao was pleasantly surprised. The reward this time was not even a little better than before. He went directly to a department store, but when he heard that he needed money to buy things, his expression became serious.
The ghost system has defrauded him of his money.
This is not a reward, it is simply the system forcing him to buy something from him. In other words, the previous reward was a pure reward, but now it is a mutual transaction.
This system is getting worse and worse.
But there is also an advantage, that is, if he wants to get something, he no longer has to wait for system rewards, he can just buy it, but what should he use to buy it?
He had played games in his previous life, and there was a store in it, and all purchases were made with its fixed currency. What was used in this store? Is it the same as the storage fee? Qin Banliang?
He would take some time to test it out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone in Chang'an Township also thanked him and were extremely excited. They are not as worried as Li Zhao. Their idea is very simple. Land is the greatest wealth. As for other problems, the young master will solve them.
Maybe this is the carefreeness of being a servant!
Li Jinong was so excited that tears filled his eyes. Although he did not have a title or official position, he had 100,000 acres of land! Even the Li family in its heyday didn't have that many.
I owe this favor to my nephew!
"Okay, everyone, get up!" Ying Zheng waved to everyone in Chang'an Township, then turned to the ministers and said, "Today's trip to Chang'an Township is over, you can leave on your own!"
"I have some important things to do and I have to stay for a while."
"No!" All the ministers saluted and left without asking His Majesty what happened.
Soon, the huge team dispersed, leaving only the people in Chang'an Township kneeling aside solemnly, not daring to move.
"Don't be formal, everyone. I'm just a guest. You can go and do whatever you want!"
"No!" Everyone in Chang'an Township stood up respectfully, then left and returned to their posts.
But everyone knows that there is sweat behind them. Facing the emperor, they naturally felt pressure, an invisible pressure.
With the development during this period, the number of people in Chang'an Township increased, especially in the papermaking workshop, with almost a hundred farmers, and at least a dozen printing farmers.
This scale is relatively large in Daqin.
"Li Zhao, come with me for a walk." Ying Zheng ordered and took the lead to walk forward, towards the farmland.
"No!" Li Zhao didn't know what the emperor was going to do, but he followed closely.
What appears in front of us is the rice that has not been harvested this morning.
Starting from today, Chang'an Township has officially entered the busy farming period. Therefore, in addition to the original farmers, the housekeeper has also arranged for farmers from relatively idle printing workshops and fertilizer workshops to come and help.
It is estimated that there are more than fifty people in total, which can be said to be sufficient manpower.
Dozens of people got busy, swish, swish, and the rice was harvested very quickly and very quickly. This is the efficiency of Chang'an Township. No one will be lazy and no one will argue for their own selfish interests.
This is a harmonious and effective farming business.
Ying Zheng looked at it and secretly clicked his tongue.
"Li Zhao!" He watched all this quietly and called Li Zhao softly.
"I'm here!" Li Zhao quickly handed over his hand.
"Are all these people private slaves?"
