Spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage.

Farming civilization has continued the tradition of thousands of years, and with the growth of new crops in the vicinity of Chang'an, the agriculture of Qi has ushered in a new era.

"King! There is a gazebo in front, and the weather is hot and humid, so why don't you go there to escape the heat? ”

Yang Hao wiped the sweat on his head and nodded.

"Hmmm! That's good! Let's go to the front and rest for a while! ”

The gazebo is just a thatched shed, and such a shed can be found at a distance from the field.

After Yang Hao sat down, the guard said, "King! There is a stall selling tea in front, and my subordinates go down to get some tea.

”

Yang Hao waved his hand and asked the guards to go by themselves, in this sultry weather, drinking herbal tea can also be more comfortable.

"King! Today's day is too vicious, the king's body is related to all the people in the world, and the minister implores the king to move back to the palace. ”

The guards commanded.

Yang Hao said disapprerovingly: "How can this king be so unbearable, a few of you should sit too!" ”

"This... Don't dare! ”

"Today is a micro-service out of the palace, and there are not so many courtesies."

"This... Promise! ”

The guards had no choice but to sit down very restrainedly.

"Kurosawa! How do you feel after half a day? ”

This made Kurosawa's guard commander scratch his head, and he couldn't say why for a long time.

"King! This makes me fight tigers and bears, this feeling! Where does the minister know what to feel, and ask the king to forgive his sins. ”

"Alas! You guy! ”

Yang Hao shook his head and smiled.

Then the guard who had gone to buy tea returned.

"King! Tea came. ”

When Yang Hao was about to take a drink, Kurosawa hurriedly stopped and said, "Slow down, big king!" Try this tea. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured half a cup, tried it with a silver needle, and when he saw that nothing had changed, he raised his glass and drank it all.

After waiting for a while, he didn't feel anything unusual about his body and said, "Wang, the tea is fine." ”

"Alas! You are really too careful, where are so many people trying to murder this king. ”

"King! If something goes wrong, it will be difficult for the ministers to die to atone for their sins. ”

Yang Hao smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup and drank it all.

Tea has spread in Qi in recent years, especially the new tea shipped from Yangzhou has the freshest taste.

"Although the taste of this tea is not as good as that in the palace, but this time, don't take a taste."

Yang Hao said with emotion.

"These people are protected by the king, so that they can drink such a drink."

Kurosawa said respectfully.

Yang Hao just smiled when he heard this.

"It's already noon, you're all hungry, burn the potatoes you just bought in a while, this thing has a different taste when you burn it."

The guards didn't dare to say more, so they hurriedly arranged for manpower, found some firewood, and got busy according to Yang Hao's instructions.

Soon the black potatoes that were burned were brought to Yang Hao.

"This new potato is the most tender, come! You eat too. ”

Where have the guards seen this new crop, and when they saw Yang Hao's sweetness, they also ate it in a similar way.

"King! This thing tastes really good, and it's filling. ”

Kurosawa Road.

"Well, potatoes are a good thing, don't look at him inconspicuous, the people of Daqi will point to this thing in the future, do you know how much grain is in an acre of land now."

"This is something that the minister knows."

"The yield of this potato, if it is a good year, one acre of land can be more than several times that of rice, think about how many people can be fed."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and looked at the black potatoes in their hands in amazement.

Seeing that Kurosawa looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Hao said, "What do you want to say?" ”

"This... The king didn't know that during this time, there were rumors in Chang'an City, saying that the imperial court did not let the people plant rice, and it was a harmful move to plant these potatoes. ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on." ”

Kurosawa hurriedly recounted what had happened during this time.

After Yang Hao understood the cause and effect, his hanging heart changed and let go.

At most, this is the complaint of farmers who have been forced by the imperial court to plant new crops and worry about the autumn harvest.

However, after Yang Hao decided to go back, let Jinyiwei go down to investigate, if there was public anger because of this matter, it would not be a trivial matter.

The main purpose of this private visit to Weifu is to personally go to the farmland to check the planting of new crops.

This played a pivotal role in his imperial dream.

In a country, only when people have enough to eat can they be in the mood to think about something that has nothing to do with survival.

Man's lifespan is finite, and he must speed up this process in his finite life.

You can guide the direction of an era in some cold theories.

But some things take time to settle.

Yang Hao couldn't wait so long, he could think of a way to shorten this process, which was to make the population of Qi State grow explosively through a large amount of food and medical conditions.

After nearly a decade of research and exploration, penicillin has begun small-scale human experiments, and has begun to bear fruit.

As long as the food is replenished, the population of Qi will exceed 10 million in a short period of time, which is not an illusion.

If you want to be rich, you should have more land, build more roads, have more children, and have more trees.

Qi Guo's current national conditions are in a completely opposite state to the time and space in his previous life.

What to protect nature, soil erosion, environmental pollution, these issues are all not in his consideration.

In the visible world, the state of Qi was several eras ahead of the rest of the civilizations.

As long as he, Yang Hao, is willing, the resources of this world can be exploited by the Qi State.

It's a wonderful world, a wonderful time, full of endless possibilities.

At night, Yang Hao wrote down what he saw and heard today, and further supplemented his previous theories according to reality.

The autumn of the twenty-first year of Hongwu.

The good news of the southern army was transmitted back to the capital.

Yang Hao looked at the report documents and sighed with emotion in his heart.

This time to conquer the Yue area, only used an army of less than 5,000 people, and completely relied on the supply of the Jiangbei states to take a large area from the Yangtze River to Lingbei.

It's just that the Lingnan area of this era is too barren, mosquitoes are rampant, miasma is rampant, there are not enough medical conditions, and it is difficult for people living in the Central Plains to stay there for a long time, which makes him feel very regretful.

Looking at the huge map hanging in the study, Yang Hao muttered, "It's coming, maybe it's time in a few years." ”
