Gold in prosperous times, food in troubled times. The people take food as the sky, and the people in the troubled world run with the grain, where there is food, there is the most attractive there, and with people, there is no worry about manpower and soldiers. For the angel country, with sufficient food, people's hearts can be stable.

Therefore, Xia Xue feels that the first step is to vigorously develop primary industries such as agriculture, increase grain production, and increase grain reserves. She did not simply divide the large amount of land confiscated from the Sui army officials, princes and marquises, and black-hearted rich merchants who colluded with officials and businessmen to the peasants to cultivate, because the scattered cultivation was inefficient, the grain purchase was not easy to control, and the promotion of improved varieties was not very fast. Therefore, for the time being, she selected a lot of high-quality and fertile land from the confiscated land, confiscated all of them into state ownership, built several super-large farms, built farmland water conservancy projects, and then hired grain growers and diligent farmers to provide free high-quality grain seeds and new grain varieties, and provided free agricultural technical guidance, ploughing cattle, farm tools, and so on.

In order to prevent laziness and encourage the enthusiasm of growing grain, Xia Xue has formulated a series of management systems for large farms. For example, the income and rewards of all farm managers and employees are linked to the output of the farm. In other words, the better the farm and the higher the grain production, the higher their income. If the farm is not done well, their income will be low, and they will even be fired. Farm workers are also given skill levels, and those who are rated as the highest grade for three consecutive years will be awarded a medal of honor and given a heavy reward, and those who do not perform well will be dismissed.

In addition, in order to develop new ways to make money in the long run, Xia Xue has specially designated some land on the farm to plant the high-tech cotton seeds she carries. These high-quality cotton varieties are not only high-yielding, but also very resistant to diseases and insects, although the farm staff does not know what cotton is and what it is used for. Cotton was not introduced in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the textiles of the Sui and Tang dynasties were mainly linen fabrics and silk fabrics. linen fabrics, such as linen cloth, cloth cloth, banbu cloth, Hu Nu cloth, etc.; Silk fabrics, such as brocade, silk, yarn, uranium, and so on. However, the queen demanded planting, and indicated that if a good harvest was rewarded, the farm staff would gladly obey. In order to grow cotton, Xia Xue also specially trained a group of cotton planting agricultural technicians. As a talented girl from the future, of course she knows the importance and strategic significance of cotton.

Xia Xue also vigorously promoted the planting of the seeds of the rubber trees she carried in Fujian, Nanyue, Guangxi, Yizhou (later Taiwan) and other places in the Angel Country. The word rubber tree, derived from the Indian word cau-uchu, meaning "tree of tears", is native to the western region of the Marayaan region in the Amazon basin of Brazil, and was only introduced to the Malay Peninsula in 1898 AD. Natural rubber is made by solidifying and drying the latex that flows out of the clover rubber tree when it taps rubber. The finished product is a material that is elastic, insulating, impermeable to water and air. Of course, Xia Xue knows that rubber is the basic raw material of the rubber industry, which is widely used in the manufacture of tires, hoses, tapes, cables and other rubber products, and is an important strategic resource. She knows that the climate and soil of Fujian, Nanyue, Guangxi, and Yizhou are suitable for growing rubber trees, so special rubber plantations are demarcated in these areas, and vigorously promote planting, for farmers who are willing to plant rubber trees, indicating that the state will purchase natural rubber at a high price, and the general rubber trees need to grow for 5 years to tap rubber, and the rubber tree seeds carried by Xia Xue can basically grow for 2 years to tap rubber.

In addition, farmers are encouraged to vigorously reclaim wasteland, increase the area of cultivated land, for the new wasteland that farmers have worked hard to cultivate, Xia Xue will send people to measure and confirm the rights, issue a certificate of ownership of cultivated land, and future generations can inherit, and formulate relevant laws to protect their legitimate rights and interests from the national level, which not only gives the hard-working farmers a reassurance, but also greatly encourages the enthusiasm of the farmers to open up the wasteland, in just over a year, the angel country has added more than 50 million acres of cultivated land.

For those who did not actively cultivate when they entered the farm, Xia Xue would arrange officials in charge of agriculture to warn the owners of the cultivated land to cultivate within a time limit, and if they did not cultivate by then, the government would come forward and forcibly hire people to cultivate the cultivated land, but all the grain harvest of the year when the abandoned cultivated land was owned by the state. If farmland is abandoned for two consecutive years, it will be forcibly confiscated as state-owned farmland, and the ownership qualifications of the original owner of the farmland will be revoked. This is a severe blow to those who are lazy, or who only occupy arable land and do not cultivate, and force them to actively engage in agricultural production.

Every year, the state will conduct a national evaluation, and the top ten grain growers in the country will be rewarded, and the medal of honor will be awarded.

Xia Xue from the future to bring corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, rice, wheat, soybeans and other high-tech high-quality varieties not only disease and insect prevention, in the saline-alkali land that did not grow crops before can be planted, and the yield is amazing, especially sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, wheat, soybeans and so on in the relatively water-scarce land are amazing, sweet potatoes, potatoes at least per mu yield of up to 10,000 catties, 100 times higher than the general water-scarce land grain per mu, sweet potatoes are not only drought-tolerant and high-yield, the leaves can also be eaten as vegetables, stems and vines can be fed to livestock, It's full of treasures.

The yield of corn per mu is at least more than 3,000 catties, which is 30 times higher than the grain yield per mu in general water-scarce land. Rice yield per mu is at least more than 1,600 catties, and two kinds of harvest can be harvested a year, in Hainan, Guangxi, Cochin and other areas close to the tropics can even be three kinds of three harvests a year, which can be 4 times higher than the general rice field at that time at most 400 catties per mu, wheat can also be harvested about 1,000 catties on average, which is 5 times higher than the average yield of more than 200 catties per mu at that time.

A year later, the perverted yield of these new grain varieties harvested on the big farm in Xia Xue made the ancient farmers of the Sui Dynasty, who were still hesitant to wait and see at first, almost fell out of their eyes. From then on, there was no need to vigorously publicize and promote, and farmers from all over the Angel Country automatically came to Xia Xue's big farm to beg. Xia Xue also did not refuse to buy new varieties and learn the planting methods of new varieties such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., because the promotion of these new varieties can greatly increase the agricultural and grain output of the Angel Country, which is greatly beneficial to the comprehensive national strength of the Angel Country.

However, in order to increase the attractiveness of the Angel Kingdom and enhance the superiority of the citizens of the Angel Kingdom, Xia Xue ordered that only those who hold the household registration certificate of the Angel Country can buy new grain varieties on the farm and get free training in planting techniques. Moreover, grain can only be freely bought and sold within the angel country, and cannot be resold to other countries and separatist forces. In troubled times, grain is the foundation of everything, and the control and storage of grain is particularly important, so Xia Xue had to temporarily adopt this authoritarian method.

Xia Xue also taught farmers how to store sweet potatoes and potatoes, and how to cut sweet potatoes and potatoes into slices and dried them into sweet potato chips and potato chips, which can greatly increase the storage time. It is also taught to make vermicelli from sweet potatoes and potatoes, because dry vermicelli can be stored for a longer period of time, and can even be stored for several years in a dry place.

The farmers of the Angel Kingdom named these amazing high-yield new grain varieties "Angel Potato", "Angel Sweet Potato", "Angel Corn", "Angel Rice", "Angel Wheat", "Angel Soybean", etc., to thank Xia Xue, the angel queen, for her grace.

In order to keep food for a longer time, for the needs of long-distance combat, and for the dream of great voyages in the future, Xia Xue built several canning factories at the same time to make vegetables, fruits, meat and other foods into canned food to meet future needs. Ancient people didn't know why food spoiled, but for Xia Xue, a "scholar", the reason was actually very simple: food spoilage was caused by bacteria. As long as it is sealed and sterilized, the food can be stored for a long time.

Therefore, the canning technology is very simple, according to the existing resources in hand, Xia Xue decided to use steam sterilization technology in the canning factory to make the canned food meet the standard of absolute sterility, and then seal. The specific method is: first process vegetables, fruits, meat and other foods, then put them in jars, put them all in a pot of boiling water, heat them for 30-60 minutes, plug them tightly with a cork while they are hot, and then strengthen them with thread or seal them with wax. In this simple way, food can be preserved for a longer period of time without spoiling.

With canned food, Xia Xue is not afraid that the seafarers who live on the ship for a long time and the soldiers who have been fighting for a long time will fall ill because they can't eat fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods, especially the serious life-threatening scurvy. Moreover, Fujian and other places are very rich in fish resources, and making a large number of delicious canned fish can enrich everyone's taste and nutrition. Therefore, as soon as the canned products were launched, they were warmly welcomed by the majority of angel nationals, seafarers, and soldiers.

Through the above series of measures, more than two years later, the Angel Kingdom has basically solved the problem of feeding its own people, and there is a lot of surplus food.

Due to the fact that she has always pursued a streamlined government, Xia Xue can basically feed the small number of troops and government officials in the Angel Kingdom through the grain production of large state-owned farms. Moreover, vigorously develop industry and commerce, supplement agriculture with industry, supplement agriculture with business, and advocate diligence and thrift, and oppose extravagance and waste, so Xia Xue levied a very low tax on the people of the Angel Kingdom, canceling all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the Sui Dynasty in the past, so that the people could recuperate.

The people take food as the sky, and the people on the territory of the Angel Kingdom fully support, thank, and worship Xia Xue, the girl queen, from the bottom of their hearts, because they have never eaten enough in history.

At present, the common people in other places, other enemy countries, and other separatist forces are basically starving all over the wilderness, floating corpses for thousands of miles, eating tree bark, eating grass roots, and even in many places, there is a tragic situation of changing children and eating people, and people cannibalize people.
