Luan Yi knows that the key to solving inflation lies in solving the food problem. As for the problem-solving strategy, there are two main strategies:

The first is to increase the area of cultivated land. The most effective way to increase the area of cultivated land is to open up the land, and in this regard, the people of the diocese have made some efforts on their own initiative, and the area of cultivated land in the diocese has been greatly expanded. However, the act of clearing land and expanding the land will inevitably have a negative impact on the environment, which is not in line with Luan Yi's original intention. He didn't want the vast fields and forests of China to disappear again after a few hundred years of frenzied plundering by the sons and daughters of China, and turn them into high-rise buildings and pale fields for human habitation. Therefore, instead of encouraging the people to cultivate farmland, he tried to impose numerous restrictions on the cultivation of cultivated land, and all non-civilian cultivated land, including mountains, rivers and forests, was assigned to the church, and no one was allowed to take the land to himself without the permission of the local church, especially not to develop it into arable land.

In addition to land reclamation, there is another way to expand the area of cultivated land, and that is war. Just like Luan Yi is doing now, occupy the Hetao Plain, where the Qiang people have abundant rain, and develop the pastures of the grassland people into a natural farm that is half animal husbandry and half cultivation for the Han people. Another example is Yangzhou, which occupies Yangzhou, which is full of rivers and has a pleasant climate, but the population density is far smaller than that of Jiangbei, and plans to build it into a land of fish and rice, so as to greatly increase the average annual output of grain and grass in Dahan. What's more, while recruiting Sun Ce, he also got Jiaozhou that Sun Ce took from Shixie.

The so-called Jiaozhou is what later generations said about Guangdong, Guangxi, plus most of Vietnam. This prosperous area in the 21st century was still in the barbaric era in the early years of the Shengyuan Dynasty. The territory under its jurisdiction is sparsely populated, and a lot of ownerless land can be developed and is worth developing, and with it, a lot of arable land has been added to the Han Dynasty, and then a large amount of grain and grass has been produced.

It is true that the expansion of the territory has greatly reduced the current situation of inflation, and the growth rate of grain and grass prices has slowed down. But Luan Yi knows that the population is still expanding endlessly, and the speed of cultivated land development will definitely not keep up with the increase in population, and the imbalance between supply and demand of grain and grass will one day reappear.

At that time, will it be possible to send troops to plunder the land again? What if the battle fails?

Luan Yi didn't dare to think about the consequences of defeat, the defeat was still secondary, and the follow-up problems caused by it were the key. The economic chain he created would be completely broken, and the diocese would fall into economic distress without the need for invasion by other tribes, and the Great Depression would follow.

Therefore, the grain problem cannot be solved by simply cultivating cultivated land, and the core of solving the problem lies in increasing the grain output per unit of cultivated land. [Marshmallow]

In this regard, Luan Yi has long been concerned about the update of agricultural equipment, since the advent of Zheng's Quyuan plow, with the efforts of Zheng Hun and a group of craftsmen, many irrigation appliances such as cylinder cars and overturned cars have been baked, which has greatly improved the irrigation efficiency of agricultural production.

At the same time, under the guidance of local church priests, farmers in relatively wealthy areas built pigsties in the courtyards of their homes. Every day, the human excrement is fed to the pigs together with the pig food, which not only raises the pigs and fills the mouth, but also pours out two columns of fertilizer in the spring and summer to nourish the land.

A man is full of food, and the earth is full, and the crops that come forth are strong. Although grain production has increased as a result, it is still a drop in the bucket in the face of a huge population base.

It can be seen that increasing production only at the technical level can only play a supporting role at present, and the best way to fundamentally increase grain production is to find crops with greater yields.

Thinking of these, Luan Yi suddenly thought of Zhancheng Rice.

The so-called Champa rice is a kind of rice produced in Champa, which is particularly drought-tolerant and extremely adaptable, and can survive regardless of dry and flooded land, regardless of salinity. Its growth cycle is still very short, from sowing to harvest only takes more than 50 days, in the subtropical climate can be harvested twice a year, in the temperate climate of Jiangbei can be guaranteed in three years can be two cropping. If it were regarded as a staple crop in all parts of the diocese, grain production would inevitably be mentioned.

In the normal historical trajectory, Champa rice was only introduced from Vietnam to the land of Shenzhou during the Song Dynasty and quickly spread in the Jiangnan region. Today, the so-called Vietnam is still part of the Great Han Jiaozhou, and Champa is a small city on the edge of Jiaozhou, and it is much easier to introduce Champa rice inland than in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, after occupying Jiaozhou, Luan Yi immediately appointed Li Su, the former Qingzhou Linzi Taishou who was quite familiar with agricultural affairs, as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and sent people to Zhancheng to find high-yield rice with short growth cycle and strong cold tolerance, and carried out trial planting in Jiaozhou.

If this rice is really as superior as the legend, it will be promoted in Yangzhou and Jingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and then to the north of the river and even the entire diocese.

After Li Su took office, he sent 10,000 soldiers to search around the city, and asked people when they met, and entered the mountains when they encountered them, which can be said to have worn out their mouths and broken their legs, and their efforts paid off - in February of the 17th year of the Han Dynasty, he finally got the message of Champa rice from the mouth of a local old man, and found the first batch of rice seeds in Bawei Mountain, which was not far from Champa.

Bringing the rice seeds back to Jiaozhi County, Li Suxue took a piece of land and cultivated it jointly with local senior farmers. Although only about 20 of the 300 rice plants planted, the growth cycle of the rice is indeed very short.

As for the cause of the rice dying, Li Su felt that it was the wrong time to cultivate. So I chose to plant another batch in mid-July. This time it lived up to his expectations, and at the beginning of September, all 300 rice plants survived, and each grain was full.

He then carefully wrapped the rice he had grown in paper and put it in a cloth bag for people to send to Jianye overnight and hand it over to Luan Yi.

At that time, Luan Yi was preparing to return to the north, and in the study, he and Sun Shangxiang collected the books and played the criticism, and when he saw the bags full of crystal clear white rice, Luan Yi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Sun Shangxiang was puzzled and asked Luan Yi, "Isn't it just a bag of rice?" To be so happy? ”

Luan Yi replied meaningfully, "This is not as simple as a bag of rice, it is the future of all Chinese children." With that, he sat down at the desk, and with a stroke of his pen, a letter forwarded to Li Su jumped on the paper.

He first praised Li Su's exploits, and bluntly said that finding new rice was a major event for a thousand years. In order to let the people of the world drink water and think about the source while eating the new rice, and not forget the great contribution made by Li Su, he decided to name this new type of rice Sumi. He asked Li Sutong if he agreed. At the same time, he also asked Li Su to find out the specific time of planting and harvesting Su rice as soon as possible, and promote it in Jiaozhou. He reminded Li Su that the grain problem is the key to the survival of the people and the long-term peace and stability of the country, and that when promoting rice, we must not rush for success and profit, and make mistakes in farming, resulting in the loss of harvest of acres of land that had originally made profits. It is necessary to take one step at a time, steadily and steadily, and to truly understand the habits of Su Mi before it is promoted. Wait until there is indeed no problem with Jiaozhou planting, and then send the grain to Yangzhou and Jingzhou, and teach the way of growing grain.

After the letter was written, Luan Yi stamped the seal of the sect leader, put it in an envelope, and sent a special person to send it back to Jiaozhou.

After finishing all this, at Sun Shangxiang's time, he used a cup of tea to rest for a while, and before lunch, he sent Sun Shangxiang out...... As for the reason, he wanted to meet with one person.

This person's surname is Zhang Mingsong, the word is Qiao, and he is from Chengdu, Yizhou.

Speaking of which, this is also a character. He originally served under Zhang Lu in Chengdu, but he had close contacts with Fa Zheng and others under Liu Zhang in Hanzhong, and he also came to Jiangdong twice to find Sun Ce, and Mao recommended himself to be Sun Ce's leader in Yizhou - he can be called a amphibious spy in Chengdu, Hanzhong, and Jiangdong.

Luan Yi saw him this time for nothing else, mainly because he knew that he had a lot to do with Yizhou, and wanted to use him as a medium to persuade Yizhou Liu Zhang to stop making senseless resistance. Choose to raise your hands and surrender, there is a bright future waiting for you; If you want to use the mantis arm as a car - those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die.

In his heart, he prepared a draft to meet Zhang Song, Luan Yi approved another piece of tea, and Shi Dianwei took Zhang Song to Luan Yi on time.

"Meet King Qi in Xia Zhang Song."

Hearing the unfamiliar call, Luan Yi put the wolf howl in his hand neatly on the Beacon Mountain, and raised his eyes to take a look...... Yo he!

In the book, it is said that Zhang Song had an ugly face. So much so that Cao Cao in history didn't bother to see him, and pushed him into Liu Bei's arms, losing the topographic map of Yizhou and the opportunity to earn Yizhou in vain. Luan Yi said at first that it was an exaggeration in the book, no matter how ugly a person is, how ugly can he be, and how ugly can he be Dian Wei?

Facts have proved that not only is there no exaggeration in the book, but compared with Zhang Song, Dian Wei can be described as handsome.

A pair of small eyes that seemed to be open were embedded in his thick eyebrows, which were so thick that they connected to his forehead, and beneath the rosacea was a large mouth that seemed to be open and bared with buckteeth. He had a five-short body, and his upper body was much longer than his lower body, and his robe was draped over his body, which looked like a monkey from a distance, and looked like an orangutan up close, how awkward and awkward.

Seeing this ugly appearance, Luan Yi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva to hide his suspicious emotions. At the same time, I was also wondering: In the Eastern Han Dynasty, an era of judging scholars by appearance, how did Zhang Song become a scholar and then advance to an official? and how did he gain a firm foothold under Zhang Lu and win a place?

Obviously, Zhang Song is a person with real talent and real learning. It was her superhuman talent that helped her get rid of the flaws in her appearance, so that she was recognized and trusted by Liu Zhang and Fa Zheng.

As a person who cherishes talents, thinking of these Luan Yi's enthusiasm for Zhang Song has risen a few points. Luan Fu said to the corner of the house: "Give Mr. Zhang a seat and make a pot of new good tea for Mr." ”

Luan Fu did so one by one, and personally brought the teacup to Zhang Song.

Because of his ugly appearance, Zhang Song is often ridiculed and ridiculed on weekdays, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to treat him with courtesy. Therefore, Zhang Song has set an unwritten principle in his heart since he was a child, whoever treats him with sincerity, he will put his heart in his heart; Whoever despises him, he will return it with a cold eye.

This time, Luan Yi gave him a seat again, gave him good tea, didn't care about his appearance, and treated him with courtesy, which made him very useful. Respectfully arched his hand and said, "Xie Qi's gift." ”
