On the outskirts of Dianchong, another Linyi army was ambushed and annihilated, and the dead fell on both sides of the road, and in this hot weather, the corpses would quickly decompose, and a large number of corpses could easily cause a plague if they were not disposed of early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is exactly the effect that the Zhou army wants, so the corpses of the fallen Linyi soldiers were exposed to the scorching sun, attracting countless flies to gather, and with another Linyi army that was completely wiped out yesterday, forming a "landscape" that people can't avoid.

Not far from the battlefield that fell silent, Yu Wenwen smelled the smell of corpses, and didn't feel anything wrong, dead people were commonplace on the battlefield, so the smell of corpses was a very common smell for soldiers.

At this moment, he stood on the ridge next to the dirt road, and looked up at the green rice fields, all of which were rice that had begun to tassel, and if it had not been damaged by wind and floods, the rice would have been harvested in a while.

Yu Wenwen pulled out a rice plant from the field, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, the reason why he was so fond of this rice plant was because of the two ears of this rice.

Under normal circumstances, a rice plant draws an ear, that is, "one crop and one ear", if there is a seedling with abnormal growth such as one crop and two ears, two seedlings and three seedlings in the field, it is a great auspiciousness.

Such seedlings are called "Jiahe", and people generally believe that they are a sign of peace in the world.

According to the crepe of the text, "Jiahe, the length of the five grains, the king of virtue", and the popular saying, Jiahe generally refers to the growth of strong rice, if the crops grow well, it means that the grain production will increase, and the price of grain will also drop sharply.

The country is people-oriented, the people take food as the sky, and the people will not rebel if they have food, so that the dynasty will not have internal worries.

The reason why Yu Wenwen is interested in this Jiahe is completely touching the scene, he has been planting fields in Huangzhou (Bazhou) for almost eight years, and he has been deceived I don't know how many times, but he can't buy the rice seeds he wants.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains introduced a double-cropping rice called "Champong Rice", and the cultivation of double-cropping rice was promoted on a large scale in the Jiangnan region, and the grain output began to increase significantly.

Champa rice is a general name, not limited to the rice around Champa, generally refers to Jiaozhou, Linyi and other places "double cropping" double cropping rice, Yuwenwen of course knows the benefits of Champa rice, so he has been working hard to introduce this kind of rice, so his farming career has a qualitative change.

In the Central Plains of this era, rice was basically single-cropping rice, that is, it was harvested once a year, and the growth cycle was long, so it could only rely on continuous reclamation of farmland to expand the planting area to increase grain production.

In Huangzhou, where Yuwenwen is located, even if large-scale water conservancy is built and snails are extinguished to reclaim barren beaches, the area of farmland that can be expanded is always limited, and it is not as good as the endless plains of Henan and Hebei, so he used all methods to increase production and income.

Iron plough, rice transplanting, rice-wheat rotation, and fertilizing the field with fermented manure, the effect is still there but not enough, what Yuwenwen needs most is double cropping rice, which is a qualitative improvement for grain production.

Double cropping rice in one year can greatly increase grain production while the area of farmland remains the same.

Where does double cropping rice come from? Lingbiao Jiaoguang existed, but at that time, Lingbiao was under the rule of Chen Guo, and Yuwenwen had no way to purchase double-cropping rice seeds on a large scale, so he could only turn to Shangjia for help.

Yuwenwen spends a lot of money every year to buy Jiaozhou rice seeds, but these so-called Jiaozhou rice seeds transported by profiteers as payment, each batch of trial planting in Huangzhou The effect is not good, I don't know whether there is a problem with the rice seeds, or the cultivation method is wrong, anyway, there is no effect of double cropping in one year.

Yu Wenwen, who has always regarded himself as a profiteer, has been fooled by profiteers year after year, but for various reasons, he can't turn his face, he can only sow seeds again and again, and then disappointed again and again.

The seeds bought, of course, can be double-ripened in a year after planting, but there are only a few plants in an acre of field, and there is no possibility of large-scale promotion.

Now it's okay, he led his soldiers all the way to Lingbiao Guangzhou and Jiaozhou, and now he is standing in the rice field outside the city of Dianchong, the capital of Linyi, and the double-cropping rice he wants is right in front of him, and no profiteer can fool him!

Yu Wenwen took the rice and asked the accompanying generals on the side: "You have eaten the rice here last night, how does it taste?" ”

"King, the rice here seems to have a similar taste to the rice made by the dragon, and it is similar to the rice in Panyu, but it is far worse than the cicada rice."

Seeing that several generals had similar views, Yu Wenwen asked again: "Are you used to eating this rice?" ”

"Hey, of course the last general is used to eating, when he didn't join the army, he couldn't eat enough for every meal, where is he so particular."

"Does the king have to introduce this rice seed to Huangzhou for planting? It would be great if it was really two crops a year! The people don't have so much money to buy cicada rice, and the rice that grows twice this year is not expensive, as long as everyone has rice to eat, it will be considered a good life. ”

"Yes, the widow wants to try to plant these double-cropping rice in Huangzhou, once it is successful, then it is necessary to promote such double-cropping rice to Shannan and even the areas along the Yangtze River, so that the price of rice will plummet, and the people will be able to afford to eat white rice!"

Hearing what Yu Wenwen said, Tian Zhengyue and other generals were very excited, they believed in anything Yu Wenwen said, and once the double cropping rice was really popularized in the Central Plains, it would be a great thing for the common people.

The vast majority of the soldiers of the Hulin Army came from poor backgrounds, and originally came to join the army in order to have a bowl of rice to eat, for them, the taste of rice is secondary, and whether they are full or not is the most important.

A family can eat rice, eat some meat every day, see oil in every meal, and then have some salt, this is the pursuit that many people dream of but are difficult to achieve, everyone can eat brown rice, and they cook some wild vegetable porridge to satisfy their hunger on weekdays.

Huangzhou has changed greatly in recent years, and the people have benefited a lot, that is, the people in Huangzhou and neighboring states and counties can eat some chicken, duck and pork every day, and the oil can be seen in every meal and eaten salty.

Speaking of this, many people understand one thing: "It turns out that the king emptied the rice seeds in the Linyi National Grain Depot to transport them back to Huangzhou for trial planting?"

"Of course, we also have to bring some Linyi farmers back, let them teach farming experience, not only here, Jiaozhou Longbian, Guangzhou Panyu, the widow has ordered people to collect a large number of rice seeds and farming experts, and bring them to Huangzhou to try to plant double cropping rice!"

Yu Wenwen was full of confidence, but now was not the time to make a long speech, he made a special trip to the field not to collect rice seeds, but to have more important things to do.

As the saying goes, "good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west", since Yu Wenwen wanted to give Lin Yiguo a surprise, it was not enough to slaughter the city, he threw the Jiahe in his hand and shouted to the black pressure people on the edge of the field:

"Do it! Uproot all the rice in the field, and let the surrounding farmland of Dianchong be harvested! ”
