"Only two generations to grow?"

The rest of them were stunned when they heard the words, and after thinking about it carefully, a chill appeared in their hearts, and they only felt that it was extremely terrifying.

In the end, Zhang Kaiyong pressed the strange look in his heart, and asked, "Why is this?" From Qiu Yan's previous words, he guessed that the seeds of these crops should have been cultivated by Qiu Yan, so he asked this question.

In Zhang Kaiyong's heart, he was surprised by Qiu Yan's breadth of involvement, but what made him palpitate even more was the scheming represented by the three generations, which made him feel afraid of Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan saw what they were thinking from everyone's expressions, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, the key reason why seeds have this situation is that they are not naturally formed, they are grafted and hybridized, and natural reproduction is blocked. ”

No one here knew how shocking Qiu Yan's seemingly simple words would be if they were put in a farmer's house.

Zhang Kaiyong pondered and asked, "That is to say, the soil of the land of the five swamps alone is not enough to support the growth of these crops?"

"It can be understood so simply," Qiu Yan nodded, "These crops, planted for the first time, can be harvested, and the second generation of seeds derived from them can be harvested only by three percent of the previous one, or even less, if the seeds produced by the second generation are used to plant the third generation, it is almost impossible to survive, only a small number can grow, and most of the grains are not harvested, all of which have been verified." ”

Hearing this, Yang Dingyuan couldn't help but ask: "Is it really because the soil of the swamp is not fertile enough that the inheritance of these seeds cannot exceed three generations?"

Hearing this question, many people came back to their senses at once. They all secretly said that Yang Dingyuan was talkative, who cared if it was true or not, as long as they could implement it, they would naturally know the meaning.

Qiu Yan smiled and said nothing.

As for Zhang Kaiyong, he began to worry about whether this conversation would be accidentally revealed by the generals present and cause trouble, but after thinking about it, if it was really as Qiu Yan said. Seed inheritance, not manpower can be changed, and the swamp people have nothing to complain about, as the envoy of the Wuxin Festival, of course he knows what kind of predicament the swamp people have to go through, and it is really a critical moment, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and they also want to go to the tiger mountain. The last straw will also be grasped very tightly.

After thinking about this, I still have doubts, because Qiu Yan was talking about farm tools at the beginning. But in a blink of an eye, it turned to the seed, and there was obviously a connection in it.

Thinking about it, Zhang Kaiyong couldn't help but ask, "Bachelor." I wonder what the seed has to do with the farmer?"

"Seeds have to be cultivated with farm tools," Qiu Yan replied with a smile, stunned when he saw the other side. Then he continued, "However, from the seeds, you should be able to see that after the seeds are distributed, the harvest will be one season, and we will have to wait for the next year to continue to supply, so we don't have to worry about being out of their control, so the same is true for farm tools. ”

"How are the farm tools the same?" the others were more and more puzzled by Qiu Yan's argument.

Qiu Yan said: "If you really want to farm, the demand for iron tools and farm tools is very huge, and the small workshops of the swamp people alone cannot meet the demand at all, so the government might as well come forward to organize production in a unified manner, distribute farm tools in a unified manner, and provide ploughing cattle, so as to ensure their annual harvest." ”

Qi Xin thought for a while and expressed his worries: "But in this way, even if there is a unified dispatch by the government, every day to order, send and receive farm tools, it is inevitable that there will be omissions after all, as long as the swamp people have the heart, steal one or two pieces every day, and accumulate over time, isn't it uncontrollable?"

Qiu Yan said: "Every day, you can know the population, send and receive farm tools, may not be able to eliminate stealing, but should not be choking on food, since you want to calm the root cause of the swamp, you must naturally be prepared to bear the risk, but in fact, in the specific implementation, as long as the law is controlled, the risk can be minimized." ”

Speaking of this, he tapped lightly on the table and lowered his voice: "Why did the swamp people rebel? In fact, it is for survival, and those tribal leaders can pull up the team because of this. In order to survive, what is the point of taking risks? Thinking about it from this point of view, the swamp people do not hesitate to steal farm tools and rebel, but if we look at it from another angle, if the swamp people can have food and clothing, how many people will charge into battle for the sake of the leader's ambition?

Hearing this insight, everyone looked at each other and felt that there was some truth.

Then, without waiting for everyone to digest it, Qiu Yan continued: "In addition, I don't think that they stealing farm tools is a bad thing, in fact, if they can only steal a few weapons sporadically, it is ideal. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Kaiyong became more and more puzzled.

Qiu Yan glanced at him and said, "Allowing the forging development of the swamp people, combined with abundant rations, can make their forging technology slowly get on the right track, but if their clan can only rely on stealing Central Plains tools, or relying on the supply of Central Plains, they can use the finished iron tools of the Central Plains to impact their weak primitive foundry industry, and their smelting and casting technology will be stifled lightly!"

"So that's the case!" Hearing this, everyone gasped again, and their eyes looking at Qiu Yan were full of inexplicable awe, and their hearts trembled.

However, it was Zhang Kaiyong who said that he had doubts: "Even if there is supply and theft from the Central Plains, after all, there are still many inconveniences, as long as there is still a demand for the swamp people, there will definitely be a private smelting workshop, and the situation in the swamp is complicated, and it is inevitable that it will be impossible to prevent it." ”

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Counterfeiting is inevitable, a technology to develop, in addition to their own research, reference and imitation is also essential, you can take a lot of detours, avoid repetitive work, reduce the time spent on the principle and structure, and concentrate on the process, formula and materials. This is an understandable thing, if you want to not be controlled by others, the latecomers want to catch up with the lead, and take the road of repetition, often over the years, so counterfeiting can be regarded as a shortcut. ”

"In that case, then ......" Zhang Kaiyong finally understood what the so-called government organization meant, "That's right, just as the bachelor said before, there must always be risks, these small workshops are difficult to exterminate in the end, but after all, they can't be compared with the government organization." ”

Qiu Yan said: "Although it can't be exterminated, it can squeeze their living space, which requires the use of discursive manipulation to recognize Darui as a place where humanity gathers, whether it is Northern Xinjiang or Marshland, we can create some moral thresholds out of thin air, such as the imitation and reference of technology and things to deteriorate, so that the swamp people regard it as immoral, talentless, and incompetent. ”

"Oh, let the swamp people naturally reject it?" Zhang Kaiyong suddenly felt that his thinking was much smoother, and finally exclaimed, "If you use this method, you may be able to eliminate the swamp forever." ”

On the side, Qiu Yan said again: "These are just tricks, they are playing tricks, if you take the march as far as the army is concerned, it is a surprise attack, and when it is supplemented by the regular army, it can really be quelled." ”

"Where are you coming from?" Zhang Kaiyong was a little humble at this time, he thought that Qiu Yan was in charge of military reform in Jiannan, and he might not have any clue about appeasing the swamp people, but after listening to what he said, he knew that he had already made up his mind.

Qiu Yan also did not hide privately: "When supplemented by the royal Taoism, widely recruited scholars and scholars, with the distribution of farm tools and ploughing cattle, and knowing the honor and disgrace of the, waiting for the swamp people to be freed from the burden, it is when the thinking is empty, especially when the younger generation of swamp people grow up, when the crops are planted and mature, they have not experienced the hardships and barrenness of their ancestors, and they will only see the harvest and food and clothing, and they will take it for granted that the righteousness of heaven and earth, as long as they are guided a little, they can be educated like the children of the Central Plains." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Kaiyong remembered that the person in front of him still had an identity, the founder ......of a school of doctrine, and at the same time a humane master!

On the other side, while everyone was still chewing on what Qiu Yan had said, a soldier entered the hall and reported to everyone present that the messenger of the swamp people had come and was waiting outside.

When Zhang Kaiyong heard this, he turned his face to Qiu Yan and said, "It's the right time for the swamp people to come, and they just happened to inform them of the bachelor's mentions. ”

Qiu Yan also nodded: "Not only should I inform them, but I should also hand over some seeds to this person and let him take them back." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Kaiyong realized a problem, and said: "It is also said that it is not easy to convince the swamp people to believe, there are still many problems in it. ”

When he and Qiu Yan talked about Tian Youqing, their tone was natural, and they didn't see anything unusual.

Qiu Yan replied: "Don't worry, since the swamp people have sent people, they may have the intention to be friendly with Da Rui. ”

Zhang Kaiyong naturally couldn't agree with this, but he was also thinking about the other party's purpose.

Thinking about it, he was about to let the swamp man in, but was stopped by Qiu Yan waving his hand, so he heard the latter say: "Before seeing the swamp messenger, we must first deal with our internal affairs and arrest the traitor at both ends of the rat." As he spoke, his gaze swept over the crowd.

"Huh?" The people who were seen by Qiu Yan were all in a heartbeat, still thinking about the meaning of the words, Qiu Yan had already called out two names-

"General Wu Qing and General Wu Quan, please come out, and you don't have to continue to hide. ”

The two people named by Qiu Yan were stunned for a moment, then showed puzzled looks, both raised their fingers and pointed at themselves, and asked: "Is Master Qiu talking about our brothers? Could it be that the two of us are moles? Aren't you joking?"

While speaking, the two of them got up slightly, and were about to argue, but before they could make a move, Qiu Yan raised his hand and grabbed it!

Rumble!
