It only took ten days for the bad news of Dolgon's bad luck to reach Yang Qing's ears......

Eight days from Beijing to Haizhou.

Jinyiwei was not only a group of intelligence officers around Beijing, when Xu Cheng cut off Feng Quan's head and fled west, the Jinyiwei agents in Tongzhou rushed to Tianjin as fast as possible. As a companion of a certain medicinal herb merchant, he rode a horse and galloped for a day and a half to Tianjin to retrieve a much-needed medicinal material for his boss and left, and after the agents of Jinyiwei Tianjin Station immediately arranged for a merchant ship to go to sea, and it took three days to reach Penglai in the name of going to Gaizhou. On the same day, it was delivered to Da Songwei by post horse relay, and then sent to Haizhou by ship for three days, and then sent to Nanjing by communication tower......

Uh, one more day.

This day is because the Marquis of Zhongyong is not in Nanjing at this time.

"He's a lying gun!"

Yang Qing stood in the Huangzhuang farmland in Xuancheng and commented on the Northern Capital Incident.

Still, Dorgon quickly suppressed the mutiny.

After all, those banner army mutinies were just because they were extremely hungry, and it is indeed an exaggeration to say in conscience that five taels of silver and one stone of rice are true, this kind of thing is actually easy to solve, just find a few unlucky substitutes for the dead to calm their emotions.

For example, Feng Quan is completely to blame.

Dolgon quickly hoarded Juqi with the traitorous group led by Feng Quan, which led to the soaring price of grain as a reason to destroy him, not only Feng Quan's family, but also more than a dozen ministers who stocked grain to make the Qing Dynasty difficult wealth, including Cao Sanxi, who had just returned from Shandong with 5,000 stone of grain. It was these traitors and these dog slaves who made trouble, that is, they pushed the price of grain to such a high level, and then rewarded the soldiers with the silver and grain harvested by these dozen families, including their women, and also rewarded the armored people as slaves.

That's it.

After the soldiers smashed and looted, their emotions were released, and the rest of them could save the image of the regent by finding such a group of substitutes for the dead, and as for finding out who took the lead and found an excuse to cut it afterwards, it would be a matter for the future.

Anyway, it can only be appeased in the short term.

Although Dolgon can't compare with his brother, he still has political talent, not to mention that this kind of thing has basically been handled in this way since ancient times, appease, kill a few scapegoats to divert the hatred of the rebels, make their emotions stable, and then reward them to send them back to the camp first, and then see how to pull the list according to the situation after restoring order.

Even if the rebels are gathered together, they are all cut down, and it is not without examples.

But Dolgon probably wouldn't.

He didn't have that condition.

In total, there are 200,000 Eight Banner Army, and 40,000 are self-harming, but this matter is not over, if the root cause of food shortage is not solved, similar things will continue to happen in the future, and then Dorgon will appease the soldiers into arrogant soldiers in the continuous pacification. He is already training the Spanish phalanx, if he can't even solve the problem of eating the soldiers, let alone the Spanish phalanx, even if he evolves the Qing army to line up and shoot him, he will be blind. How did the Ming army still be defeated on the basis of Qi Jiguang's tactics, a full set of firearms, and countless soldiers?

Isn't it just that the soldiers don't have enough to eat?

Dolgon should find a way to solve the food problem next.

It's not hard for him to solve it.

Let the gentry pay taxes to maintain it.

Although the grain production in the north is indeed insufficient, it is not impossible to maintain, the key is that the gentry do not pay taxes, they do not pay taxes, and only a small number of tax households cannot support the Qing army. But this kind of thing depends on whether Dolgon has such courage, knowing how to solve it does not mean that he can do it, after all, if he wants to make the gentry pay taxes, he will no longer be the Holy Lord!

"Holy Lord Mingjun, Holy Lord Mingjun is not so easy to be."

Yang Qing sneered.

"Master Hou."

Stilwell walked over and said.

The few representatives of the four people who followed him immediately knelt down.

"There is no need to be polite to several representatives, you are here on behalf of the people, you don't need to salute any officials, speaking of which officials should salute you, you are their food and clothing!"

Yang Qing hurriedly hugged one of the oldest and said.

The man was immediately moved to tears.

The others were the same, it was obvious that the Marquis of Zhongyong was so virtuous beyond their imagination, and one of the officials said something reluctantly and hurriedly praised the Marquis of Zhongyong. However, to their surprise, the Marquis of Zhongyong actually changed his voice to their native accent immediately, and it was very standard.

"Master Hou is from Tengchong?"

The old representative said in surprise.

Well, this is Tengchong, not only the four Tengchong Wei, but also Tengyue Prefecture, the Ming Dynasty in Tengchong military and civilian administrative units, respectively subordinate to the Yunnan Capital Division and Yunnan Bu Political Envoy Division, Tengyue Prefecture is directly under the Yongchang Military and Civilian Government. This is also the farthest direct subordinate area of the Ming Dynasty to Burma, and then to the west is the Xuanfu Division of the Tuguan, and the Tuguan jurisdiction is naturally not qualified to elect any representatives of the four people, if they donate the land to attach, they will be eligible.

"No, I'm from the Northern Capital Jinyi Wei, but I still know a lot about Tengchong, such as Mopan Mountain?"

Yang Qing took his hand and smiled.

"Yes, yes, there is Mopan Mountain!"

The old representative said excitedly.

Of course, he doesn't know the meaning that the name originally represents in history, the last bloody battle between Li Dingguo and the Qing army can basically be said to be the last elegy of the Southern Ming Dynasty in the southwest battlefield. In the first war, the Qing army was killed by two solid mountains, and nearly 10,000 people, including two dukes, but the victory was also exchanged for the blood of the last elite of the Ming army, and they used this belated victory to end the resistance of King Gui's family.

"Master Hou, the little one wants to ask Master Hou if this kind of sweet potato can be grown in Tengchong."

The guy next to him who knew a little bit of official language asked.

"Of course you can, you can take a batch with you when you go back, which I gave to the villagers, but although the yield of this thing is high, it is not as good as rice to raise people, the flat land is still mainly rice, and the mountains and thin land can be planted with this, but you are the most suitable for corn. It's just that corn needs to be bred, and the corn seeds here are also transported from Jiangbei, and you definitely can't do it there, and the mountains and mountains can't transport seeds. I'll help you talk to the folks there in Huaixi to see if you can find someone who knows how to breed, and go back to Tengchong with you to specialize in breeding, but it depends on whether anyone is willing to go. ”

Yang Qing said.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, as long as he is willing to go, our girls there can be whatever he chooses!"

The old representative patted his chest and said.

They are actually the most suitable for growing tobacco, but Chongzhen's smoking ban was still there, and Yang Qing was not ready to let go for the time being, so it was better to change to corn, and Tengchong corn was also the main crop.

As for the breeders, it goes without saying.

In this era, corn was actually available in most provinces in China, including Yunnan, but the farmers of this era could not understand pollination and other agricultural techniques, and could only be pollinated by nature, which eventually led to poor corn yields, and few people could grow this kind of thing, which did not really help agriculture at all. In fact, until the Republic of China, corn was still not the main crop, and the average yield per mu was even lower.

The key to the real release of the power of corn lies in breeding.

Natural pollination is not possible.

Human-assisted pollination is actually not very effective.

It is useful, it can increase the yield, but it still can't get rid of the chicken rib state, at most close to the yield of wheat in the north, and even lower in the south, so it is obvious that wheat is more cost-effective.

And the real release of the power of corn, there is only one means, hybridization, this is the only way, inbred seeds can indeed be, but that is modern, how many years of breeding, in this era to increase the yield is to hybridize, between two inbred lines to obtain a heterosis of seeds.

But only one generation.

In the second generation, production plummeted.

But the advantage is obvious, at least 20 to 30 percent more than inbred yields, which is a qualitative change, and farmers will change from not interested in corn to interested. In particular, the rotation of winter wheat and corn in the north will make the northern dry fields also form a stable double cropping, and the best in the north in this era is also two years three cropping.

Yang Qing was an assistant pollinator before.

This is very simple, it does not require too much technology at all, the vast majority of Huaixi corn seed control areas have mastered assisted pollination, in fact, many Huangzhuang themselves have begun to control seeds in this way. At this time, he was engaged in hybrids in the breeding field in Huaixi, and his principle in the future was to engage in scientific research and breeding to cultivate better inbred lines, and then the two inbred lines were crossed into monocrosses. In the future, it will even be extended to two monocrosses into doubles, or even three singles to become triplicones, which is when the power of corn is completely released, which is also the key to the success of the American corn industry in the early 20th century, that is, American scientists first studied corn hybridization in the 190s.

As for the technology......

Well, he admits that he was enlightened by some mysterious power.

However, this kind of hybrid breeding is only the primary stage, and does not require too high-end technology, which was all made in the early 20th century before the birth of genetic technology, and does not involve any high-end things, it is a simple inter-plant management, but the management procedure is very complicated.

The first generation of hybrid breeding fields taught by Yang Qing himself have already begun to be planted, and this year he will be able to take those apprentices to make the first batch of crosses, and then he will try to plant them in the Huaixi area. However, the traffic conditions of this era limited the circulation of improved seeds, and in order to release the power of corn hybridization, it was necessary to set up breeding stations in every place where conditions permitted, and then these breeding stations would breed hybrid corn seeds. Jiangsu and Zhejiang do not need this kind of thing for the time being, because there is enough grain here, and Yang Qing engaged in hybrid corn seeds in order to attract the southwestern mountain people to go out of the mountains to Henan, and at the same time use the Han people to expand in the southwest mountainous areas.

So he needs a couple of pilots.

It is necessary to let those mountain people see the power of the new seeds, only when they all see the benefits, will they really get out of the lofty mountains, as long as one million mountain people can be extracted from the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, and then one million Han people can be moved over, the stability of this land will be completely solved.

In the same way, he can also refill Henan.

In this way, Tengchong was included in his first batch of pilots.
