After hearing the affirmative answer, Manchao Wenwu was like an old father guarding outside the delivery room. When he learned that he had given birth to a son, the smile on his face was carved into the wrinkles.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that this was just a rumor, just a joke played by King You on everyone.
Zuo Pushe Chen Shixiu stood up, clasped his fists in a very elegant manner and said: "Your Majesty, what is going on with the second season of rice? Logically speaking, even if King You has sharp tools such as threshing machines and windmills, he should not be so fast. That’s right?”
"If I remember correctly, even if the threshing machine and windmill shortened the time by more than half, it would not be so fast no matter what from plowing the fields, breeding to sowing and growing."
As Zuo Pushe raised the question, the excitement of everyone in the hall was suppressed.
The reason why they seek verification and the reason why they don’t believe it is because it goes against common sense.
Although His Highness Prince You often does things that go against common sense, everyone has adapted to it, but aren't they still adapting?
Because everyone was an old acquaintance, Emperor Wu didn't have any airs. He leaned on his chair casually and said, "This is how Zhao'er explained the matter."
All the big guys are very qualified and will not be as casual as Emperor Wu, but it doesn't matter to the military generals. They expose their breasts and hold ice cubes. They are more or less immoral, which makes civil servants angry. A moment of rolling his eyes.
Emperor Wu asked Chang Lin to hang up the drawing in his hand so that everyone could see it clearly: "This rice, to be precise, cannot be called second-crop rice, but regeneration rice."
"The meaning of regeneration rice is very simple. When harvesting rice, leave enough rice stalks aside. After harvesting the rice, immediately fertilize the fields, kill insects, and then irrigate."
"In this way, the process of irrigation, plowing, plowing, seed selection, breeding and transplanting after the autumn harvest can be saved. It is equivalent to saying that Zhaoer allows the rice to directly transition to the growth step."
"This period can save at least one and a half months, and the rice stalks and rhizomes left in the field that have not been dug out will grow out in ten to twenty days. In this way, you can see the results in the shortest time. paddy."
Upon hearing Emperor Wu's explanation, everyone in the civil and military dynasties showed surprise.
They all couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts: King You is a great talent!
This is not bragging, but a sincere compliment.
Perhaps this kind of discovery is not that great, but since ancient times, only King You has discovered it, so it is very remarkable.
This is enough to show that King You is not acting randomly in Jiaozhou, but is really managing the fiefdom and taking care of the country's worries.
Even the hostile forces couldn't help but want to praise King You.
This is a major characteristic of the ancients. I have grudges against you, but it does not prevent me from supporting you, supporting you, and approving of you at certain times.
"Your Majesty, what is the yield of this...'regenerated rice'?" General Li asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
Even though it was a bit greedy to ask, they really cared.
According to Li Zhao's estimate, the yield of ratoon rice will double that of the first season.
However, Li Zhao did not dare to exaggerate so much in his letter to Emperor Wu.
With the advent of ratoon rice, he has already won a sure win. If he exaggerates the yield, it is really unnecessary. What if it overturns?
Li Zhao left himself a way out.
Emperor Wu immediately held his beard proudly and said: "The output remains the same as the first season."
There was an uproar in the palace.
Both the civil servants and the generals could not sit still. They looked around happily and started discussing with the people around them.
"Wonderful!"
"This second crop can actually keep up with the first crop? Doesn't it mean that the food at home has doubled?"
"It's so good, it's so good. This move by King You is beneficial to the country and the people. We admire him!"
The emergence of regeneration rice is no longer just a happy event.
First of all, at the national level, Wu State is ahead of the other three countries. If this news spreads, the civil servants and generals of the other three countries will be envious and jealous.
Regeneration rice is an unprecedented initiative, and these ministers who are officials in the government will receive much attention because of it.
This is unmatched by anyone.
Secondly, Wu State, as the second most powerful country in the world, has always been overwhelmed by Zhou State, whether it is political, economic, or military.
Now that regenerated rice has come out, as long as the civil servants can blow it, the achievements of Emperor Wu will be greater than that of all monarchs.
Since ancient times, there has been no example of two crops of rice a year, which is of epoch-making significance.
When the news spreads a little, Emperor Wu will be more popular than everyone else, which is also a blessing.
Thirdly, the emergence of regenerated rice has pushed up the political, economic and military power of Wu State.
Perhaps, the regenerated rice cannot be kept secret and will spread back to the other three countries sooner or later.
But no matter how quickly the other three countries respond, it will still be next year.
It may only be one or two years ahead, but these precious one or two years are really important to the development and accumulation of strength of the Wu Kingdom.
Fourth, it inspires and wins people's hearts.
Although the Wu Kingdom is the second most powerful country, due to the continuous war in the past few years, the country's vitality has been severely damaged and resentment is boiling.
This resentment is not only directed at His Majesty, but also at the Dukes of the Manchu Dynasty.
Therefore, Emperor Wu and the princes decided not to fight. It was not that they did not dare to fight, but that they could not fight.
The treasury is empty and cannot afford to spend more.
If the fighting continues, the people will probably rise up.
Finally, it fills the people's granaries, local official warehouses and national treasury.
The amount of food doubled every year, which is very scary. If Wu Guo did a good job of keeping secrets, it might even have a greater impact.
Wu State's current policy is to recuperate and recuperate. It hopes that the people will live a better life, have more food at home, and have more children.
In this way, Wu State will have more national strength and talents.
But the foundation of all this must be implemented in food.
If there is no food, it is nothing.
"Your Majesty!" Prince Zhao said solemnly: "Does this matter... need to be sealed?"
There was silence in the palace.
The minister who was still in high spirits immediately realized the deep meaning behind Prince Zhao.
Does Wu Guo need to keep it secret?
Everyone was caught in a tangle.
If word of such a grand event spreads, the people in Wu Kingdom will probably celebrate and cheer, which is definitely a good thing for the court.
No matter who he is, he hopes to be remembered and praised by the people.
Only in this way can history books be written in great detail.
People in this life are either interested in money or fame.
But now, a dilemma is placed in front of everyone.
If it is concealed and not publicized, and the people of the Wu Kingdom are allowed to develop in silence, then everyone's highlight moment may have to be postponed.
Don’t think about fame, fame, fortune, prestige, etc.
But there are advantages to this. As long as Wu Guo hides it well, the time for the other three countries to get the news will be delayed by two or three years.
Don't underestimate the past two or three years. As long as the money and food accumulated in these two or three years are in place, they are very likely to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor with Zhou State.
If this matter is publicized, the benefits will naturally go without saying. It will even attract visits and studies from the other three countries, which will greatly satisfy everyone's vanity.
But the shortcomings are also obvious, and the advantages of regenerated rice will be learned.
Their development is at most one year behind Wu Kingdom.
Emperor Wu's eyes swept across the tangled faces of everyone, "What do you mean, sir?"
