Champa rice belongs to early indica rice, the taste is very poor, it is very woody in the mouth, very coarse, like mixing sand in rice, far from the soft and glutinous taste of japonica rice.

Ye Hua doesn't like to eat indica rice very much, but it doesn't prevent him from liking Champa rice, because Champa rice has an unparalleled advantage, that is, from planting to harvesting, it only takes more than fifty days, less than two months!

In Jiangnan, after planting one season of early rice, there is time to plant another season of late rice, two crops a year, and the yield is doubled!

Now the Great Zhou is on the eve of the vigorous development of industry and commerce, the scale of the city will expand rapidly, and after the world is peaceful, the population will increase again...... There are more and more mouths, the population of the city is growing, there is not enough food supply, everything is in the air.

Ye Hua's use of troops against Annan also wanted to snatch rice seeds and improve rice.

However, he thought about things complicated, according to Ye Hua's idea, he wanted to gain a foothold in Annan first, then get Champa rice seeds, cultivate them, and then take back the Great Zhou Trial Bell, everything was ready, and then it was promoted on a large scale.

Who knew that Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou actually took it back directly, which saved Ye Hua a lot of effort.

It seems that these two uncles are not exactly rice buckets, this vision is very good!

"Your Majesty, Champa rice is indeed a very valuable and good seed, and it should be sown and promoted as soon as possible." Ye Hua briefly introduced the situation of Zhancheng Rice, this time not only Chai Rong, but also Wei Renpu, Xu Xuan, Han Xizai and others were overjoyed.

Nothing is more important than increasing food production.

Xu Xuan complained, "Master Hou, since Zhancheng rice can double the yield, with the existing land, it is enough to supply the needs of the people in the city, and even more land can be taken out to plant mulberry seedlings." In this case, why bother with the expedition, you must know that this army is in trouble, the land of Annam, the people are fierce, wild and untamable, even if you win once, it is difficult to win all the time. What's more, even if you win, you won't be able to appease the place and restore peace, no matter how you look at it, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

When he was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xu Xuan was famous for his outspokenness, and he belonged to Da Zhou, and he still maintained this style.

Everything is on the table, which is much better than those who smile on the surface and stab them in the back.

Ye Hua said patiently, "Although Champa rice is good, it can be promoted, and it will take time." And next, how many more people will enter the city? How much more will the number of people multiply, how much more will the household account increase? What if such a large country encounters a famine? It is not enough to have enough food, there must be sufficient reserves. ”

Ye Huazheng said: "We must keep the price of grain in the city stable and relatively low. When the price of grain is low, the cost of labor will come down, and the workshop can develop better......"

Xu Xuan's logical reasoning ability is still at the stage where the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and the grain is expensive and hurts the people, and he has never stood in the perspective of the overall situation to weigh how it is most beneficial to control grain prices.

After listening to Ye Hua's words, he couldn't help but fall into shock.

In the past, he always felt that Ye Hua was just a champion and could fight, and when it came to governing the country, it was up to the civil officials, but now he understood Ye Hua's vision.

Xu Xuan is simply a five-body thrower, and he can't wait to apprentice immediately.

Wei Renpu on the side laughed in his heart, how many times have we all suffered losses, it is also the turn of the literati in Jiangnan to accept Ye Hua's ravage.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, Zhancheng rice is related to the rise and fall of the Great Zhou, and the two uncles can bring the rice seeds back, which is a great credit, and the old minister thinks that His Majesty should be rewarded!"

Really!

Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou smiled brightly.

The effort was not in vain, and after they defeated Annan's men and horses, they were captured and could pay a sky-high price of ten per person.

The two of them were very unwilling, and while the captives were recuperating from their injuries, they discussed with Ren Tianxing to expand the results of the battle.

In addition to the rivers around the river, there are villages and farmlands, deep inland, dense mountains and forests, trees and ground, all poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, once bitten, there is only a dead end.

More than two dozen sailors were recruited, and even a military medical officer died.

With the courage of Ren Tianxing, he can only be discouraged.

If you want to expand the results of the battle, you can't go deep inland, what should you do? After thinking about it, they set their sights on the city of Zhancheng south of Annam, and Fu Zhao was willing to give Ren Tianxing an idea and let them disguise themselves as soldiers of Annam to loot and occupy the city.

Ren Tianxing readily agreed, and they really made a move, snatching a lot of gold and silver from Zhancheng, and there were thousands of cattle alone. Ren Tianxing made another fortune, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He also said that he would share the profits with the two uncles. Fu Zhaoyuan waved his hand again and again, saying that the brothers worked hard, how could they be so fruitless...... These two boys fooled Ren Tianxing, and when they turned around, they went to visit the king of Champa under the banner of the Great Zhou, and told them that Annan rebelled, and the Great Zhou was furious and wanted to send troops to fight.

Champa had just been attacked and harassed by Annan, and they were dissatisfied, they didn't have the strength to confront Annan, so they just took advantage of the momentum of the Great Zhou. The king of Champa was happy for a while, and decided to bring rice seeds and come to the court to meet the emperor of the Great Zhou in person!

This is the origin of Champa rice.

"Okay, you two are really good, you can all show off your power in a foreign land, and coax the king of Champa around, it's powerful enough!" Chai Rong said with a smile.

The two of them hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the ministers are ashamed of it!" ”

"That's right, you should feel guilty!" Chai Rong's face suddenly turned blue, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the heads of the two people, and angrily reprimanded, "What a big dog guts, pretending to be a holy decree, pretending to be a messenger, and setting off a border provocation without authorization, it is simply a conspiracy, I can't wait for a will, cut you both down!" ”

"Ahh

The two uncles were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and the two of them muttered to each other, what's going on, if you turn your face, you will turn your face, it's faster than turning a book!

His Majesty the Emperor is also too moody, could it be that he really wants to cut us both?

Don't you dare!

Look at our heads, we have to ask the queen if she agrees, and if you want to ask the father if she agrees?

By the way, we have a brother-in-law, and here he is!

The two peeked at Ye Hua, squeezed their eyebrows, and begged desperately.

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although the two uncles are a little bolder, they definitely have no intention of bullying the king, and they are far overseas, so it is understandable that they will cut first and then play." Otherwise, there will be no reward or punishment, let them make meritorious contributions, lead the fleet in the future, and make more meritorious contributions! ”

Chai Rong took a deep breath, "That's it, for Ye Qing's sake, I will spare the two of them, otherwise, I will have to cut off their heads!" ”

It took so much effort, but I didn't get a good catch, and I was scolded for it, and I almost lost my head.

Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou are not to mention how depressed they are.

The whole reception banquet was dejected and sullen.

Ye Hua noticed the virtue of the two people, and they really didn't grow!

When the banquet was over, Ye Hua deliberately called the two of them to his side.

"What are you two identities?"

"Your uncle!" The two of them said in unison, "You're going to give us grievances!" ”

Ye Hua stretched out his hand and poked the heads of the two people, "Idiot, you picked up a big bargain, don't you know?" ”

"What's the big bargain?" The two of them were confused.

Ye Hua felt that they were hopeless, if it weren't for Fu San's face, he wouldn't have bothered to bother.

"You are relatives, Your Majesty is not good to reward you directly!"

"Then, even if you don't reward us, you can't punish us?" Fu Zhaoshou shouted.

"What is a punishment?" Ye Hua spat at his face, "You are really stupid, Your Majesty is to press it first, and when you make meritorious contributions, Your Majesty will be able to justify and promote you, and no one will be able to say anything at that time." ”

The two of them scratched their heads, patted their heads and said, "It seems to be like this!" But when will we still be able to make meritorious contributions? Where can I go to find a second Champ? ”

Obviously, it was the two of them who had a flash of inspiration when they attacked the city, and when their intelligence ran out, they immediately became stupid.

Ye Hua was really speechless, "Do you think it's over after fighting Annan?" What's next? ”

This time, Fu Zhaoyuan finally remembered, "By the way, you said that you want to emigrate, right?" ”

"That's right, the first batch of people has completed their military training, and you should now take the people and sail out to sea to establish a stronghold on the coast of Annam. Tuntian, doing business, gradually swallowing and encroaching, swallowing Annan into his stomach! Doing this is the work of expanding the territory, which is much more powerful than your big brother! ”

The two boys smiled happily and praised together, "It's interesting, this is our good brother-in-law!" ”

At this time, suddenly Ren Tianxing sent an urgent report, the Southern Han concentrated 20,000 water divisions, four times the strength of the Great Zhou, it seems that the intentions are ill-intentioned......
