Chapter 576 The Little Actions of the Southern Han Dynasty
Chameng rice is an early indica rice with a poor taste. It is very hot and thick when eaten in the mouth. It is like sand mixed in rice. It is far less soft and fragrant than the soft and fragrant taste of japonica rice.
Ye Hua doesn’t like to eat indica rice, but it doesn’t hinder his love for Chameng rice, because Chameng rice has an unparalleled advantage, that is, it only takes more than fifty days to harvest, and it’s less than two months!
In Jiangnan, after planting early rice for one season, there is no time to plant late rice for another season, and the yield will double!
Now the Great Zhou Dynasty is on the eve of the booming development of industry and commerce. The scale of the city will expand rapidly. After peace in the world, the population will increase again... More and more mouths, the population of cities will increase. There is no sufficient supply of food, and everything is a castle in the air.
Ye Hua also wanted to seize rice seeds and improve rice when he used military force against Annan.
However, he thought things complicated. According to Ye Hua's idea, he wanted to gain a foothold in Annan first, then get the rice seeds in Chameng, farm, and then get the Great Zhou test clock back. Everything was ready and then promote it on a large scale.
Who knew that Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou actually brought it back directly, which saved Ye Hua a lot of effort.
It seems that these two brothers are not exactly a buyer, and they have a good vision!
"Your Majesty, Chameng rice is indeed a very precious seed, and it should be sown and promoted as soon as possible." Ye Hua briefly introduced the situation of Chameng rice. This time, not only Chai Rong, but also Wei Renpu, Xu Xuan, Han Xizai and others were overjoyed.
Nothing is more important than increasing grain production.
Xu Xuan complained, "Marquis, since the rice in the city can double the yield, the existing land is enough to supply the needs of the people in the city, and even more land can be taken out to change to mulberry seedlings. Since this is the case, why bother to fight for the expedition? You must know that the war is a disaster. The people in Annan are fierce and wild, and even if you win once, it will be difficult to win forever. What's more, even if you win, you cannot appease the place and restore peace. No matter how you look at it, it will be more cost-effective."
During the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan was famous for speaking out and surrendered to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he still maintained this style.
Anything that is on the table is much better than those who smile on the surface and stabbing the knife in the back.
Ye Hua patiently said, "Although the rice in Chameng is good, it can be promoted, which takes time. And how many people will enter the city next? How many people will increase their household registration? What should I do if a country with such a large number of famines? It is not enough to eat enough food, and sufficient reserves must be provided."
Ye Hua said seriously, "We must keep the city's COFCO prices stable and relatively low. When the grain prices are low, the labor costs will be reduced, and the workshops can develop better..."
Xu Xuan's logical reasoning ability is still at the stage where the low grains hurt farmers and the high grains hurt the people. He has never stood a global perspective and weighed the most favorable way to control grain prices.
After hearing Ye Hua's words, he couldn't help but fall into shock.
In the past, I always thought that Ye Hua was just a champion and could fight. When it comes to governing the country, it depends on civil servants. Now he has learned Ye Hua's vision.
Xu Xuan was so arrogant that he wanted to become a disciple immediately.
Wei Renpu, who was standing beside him, was amused. We have suffered many losses, and it was the turn of the literati in Jiangnan who accepted Ye Hua's ravages and destruction.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, the rice in Champa is related to the rise and fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a great contribution for the two uncles to come back with rice seeds. The old minister thinks that Your Majesty should reward you very much!"
really!
Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou laughed so brightly.
The kung fu was not in vain. After defeating Annan's men, they were captured and could pay a sky-high price of eleven times each person.
The two were very unwilling to accept it. While the prisoners were recovering from their injuries, they discussed with Ren Tianxing to expand the results of the battle.
There is plenty of rain and hot temperature in Annan. Except for the village farmland around the river, it goes deep into the inland, with dense mountains and forests, and the trees and ground are full of poisonous snakes and venomous insects. Once bitten, there is only one way to die.
More than twenty sailors were caught, and even a military medical officer died.
With Ren Tianxing's courage, he could only be discouraged.
What should I do if I want to expand the results of the war but I can't go deep into the inland yet? After thinking about it, they set their sights on Cham City south of Annan. Fu Zhao was willing to give Ren Tian an idea and let them disguise themselves as Annan's soldiers and rob the Cham City.
Ren Tianxing agreed happily, and they did it, snatching a lot of gold, silver and fines from Chameng. There were thousands of oxen alone. Ren Tianxing made another fortune and was so happy that he couldn't stop. He also said that he wanted to share the benefits for the two uncles. But Fu Zhaoyuan waved his hands repeatedly and said that the brothers were working hard, how could they receive the money without success... These two boys fooled Ren Tianxing, and turned around and visited the King of Chameng under the banner of the Great Zhou, and told them that Annan rebelled and the Great Zhou was furious and wanted to send troops to attack.
Cham City had just been attacked by Annan and was full of resentment. They had no strength to compete with Annan, so they just took advantage of the momentum of the Great Zhou. The King of Cham City was happy for a moment and decided to bring rice seeds to the Emperor of the Great Zhou in person!
This is the origin of Chameng rice.
"Okay, you two are really promising. You can both show off your power in foreign lands and make the King of Chameng go around. It's amazing!" Chai Rong said with a smile.
The two of them quickly laughed and said, "Your Majesty has praised you, I am ashamed of you!"
"That's right, you should feel guilty!" Chai Rong's face suddenly turned ashen. He pointed at the foreheads of the two people and angrily scolded, "What a brave man, he faked the imperial edict, pretended to be an envoy, and started the border provocation without authorization. He was simply accomplice. I wish I could kill both of you!"
"ah!"
The two uncles were so scared that they knelt down. They both muttered to each other, what's going on? They turned against each other, faster than turning against each other!
His Majesty the Emperor is too moody. Could it be that he really wants to kill both of us?
You dare!
Looking at our heads, we should ask the queen if she agrees, and we should ask the father if she agrees?
By the way, we have a brother-in-law, and he is here!
The two of them looked at Ye Hua, winked at him, and pleaded desperately.
Ye Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the two uncles are a little bolder, but they have absolutely no intention of deceiving the emperor. It is understandable that they are far away from overseas and take action first and then report. Otherwise, they will not be rewarded or punished, and they will be punished for their merits and lead the fleet in the future and make more contributions!"
Chai Rong took a deep breath, "Forget it, for Ye Qing's sake, let them go, otherwise, I will have to chop their heads!"
After so much effort, I didn't get a good harvest, and I was scolded and almost lost my head.
Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou were so depressed.
The whole reception was depressed and depressed.
Ye Hua noticed the virtues of the two people, but he really didn't make any progress!
After the banquet ended, Ye Hua specially called the two of them to his side.
"What are your identities?"
"Your brother-in-law!" the two of them said in unison, "You want to speak out to us!"
Ye Hua reached out and poked the foreheads of the two people, "Idiot, you have gained a big advantage, don't you know?"
"What's the big cheap?" The two of them were confused.
Ye Hua felt that they were helpless. If it weren't for Fu San's sake, he wouldn't bother to waste his saliva.
"You are relatives of the foreigners, and your Majesty can't reward you directly!"
"Then, even if we don't reward, we can't punish us?" Fu Zhaoshou shouted strangely.
"What is punishment?" Ye Hua snorted at his face, "You are really stupid. Your Majesty will suppress it first. When you make contributions, your Majesty will be able to justify your reputation and promote you. No one will be able to say anything at that time."
They both scratched their heads and patted their foreheads, "It seems that this is the case! But, when can we still make contributions? Where can we find a second Chameng?"
Obviously, when they attacked Chameng, they were both enlightened and used up their intelligence and became stupid immediately.
Ye Hua was speechless, "Do you think you'll be done after fighting Annan? What else do you have to do next?"
This time Fu Zhaoyuan finally remembered, "By the way, you said you want to immigrate, right?"
"That's right, the first batch of people have completed military training. Now you will take people to sail to the sea, build strongholds on the coast of Annan, do business, gradually swallow and erode Annan, and swallow Annan into your stomach! This is the result of expanding territory, which is much more powerful than your elder brother!"
The two boys smiled happily and praised together, "It's our good brother-in-law!"
Chapter completed!
