Changsun Chong, Li Chengqian and others stood on the edge of the rice field, the originally calm and waveless heart, with the breeze blowing, the rice waves rose and fell, golden, like gold paved on the ground, the first harvest has been done, and the eyes of everyone who watched it were hot. Rice seeds have been distributed in many places, and presumably this year's food rations are guaranteed.

Not only was some of the newly opened wasteland planted with rice in a few years, but many old farmers did not believe it at first, thinking that how could the north grow rice in the south, and they were forced to vacate an acre of land to grow rice due to the official document issued by the imperial court. Since you have planted it, you should serve it well, and although the water source is insufficient, you should try to carry as much water as possible, so that the soil in the soil is not very dry, and the result of this will be that the harvest will be increased by half of the rice in the dry land.

With the rice filling, the rice grains are the same every day, bulging, the old farmers feel strange, and they dare not ignore it, they will go to the field every day to see, they can't think that a rice seedling can produce so much rice, heavy, really worried that the rice stalk will be overwhelmed.

Li Laohan is a native of the country, no matter how poor and famine-stricken his family was, he was unwilling to leave here, and firmly guarded his family's ten acres of land. Relying on careful calculations, eating tree bark and wild vegetables, he finally survived with his whole family.

Last year, there was a bumper harvest, the life of the family was much better, after paying the taxes, there was still a lot left, enough to eat, and the son of the family was taken to open up the wasteland without an owner, and now the family has fifteen acres of land.

However, at the beginning of spring this year, I received seeds from the imperial court, and one acre of rice must be planted. Li Laohan has been farming all his life, and scolded in his heart: "It's really a messy piano, my ancestors have lived here for generations, and I have never heard of planting rice." ”

However, the tough attitude of the government, like that of many ordinary people, had to be complied with. The tedious breeding and seedling cultivation found a newly opened poor dry land to plant, and did not spend much energy on it.

After a month, Li Laohan found that the rice seedlings had grown very strong, beyond his expectations, although he had no experience in rice planting, but he liked good crops very much, and since then he has put most of his energy on this acre of rice.

Because I didn't know that this kind of seed grew so well at that time, I randomly found an acre of very barren wasteland and planted it, not only the land was barren. And after that, it was far away from the water source, so I didn't come to see it when I planted it.

I didn't expect this to be the next jump, and I saw the other four acres of newly opened sorghum stalks on the ground next to the elderly.

When I returned home, I was going to find someone to ask what the official had said before. It is said that although rice can be grown in dry land, it is watered a lot. Keep the fields well watered. There will be more grain production.

It doesn't matter what this sentence is, Li Laohan took it to his heart, and quickly called his sons and grandchildren to fetch water from the river and send it to the field, and since then. The son of Li Laohan's family has never stopped carrying water in the fields every day.

After two months of careful serving, it was finally time to harvest, and Li Laohan pulled an ear of rice. It is estimated that this acre of land can harvest several stones, which is more than twice as high as wheat. Li Laohan took out the sickle for cutting wheat, and took his sons to start harvesting rice, even picking up the ears of rice that fell in the field.

I heard that this rice stubble can also grow rice, and it can be harvested twice a year, so I am even more careful, and I made a fence for this acre of rice stubble overnight to prevent it from being harmed by the livestock, and I am still carrying water from the river, hoping that the rice will be full and can grow more rice.

Countless rice people were pulled to the threshing floor, not only Li Laohan's family harvested, but other families in the village also came up, only a few families did not care, but the super rice did not completely abandon them, although the grain production was affected, but the harvest was also more than wheat, and they were also jubilant.

Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep, worried that their rice would be stolen, and every family left people on the threshing floor to watch and treat them as eyes. It's about seeing how high the yield of this rice is.

In the heat of the fight, Li Laohan's family is interested in the rice, the highest grain yield, actually reached nine stones, although it is not much, but this is only the yield of one acre, it is the grain production of three acres of fertile land. If the second crop is also harvested, it will be a harvest of nearly 20 stone mu!

Li Laohan has been planting fields for decades, how can he see such a high-yield crop, and almost regard this rice as immortal food! One acre of land can feed a family. Li Laohan, the old man who has planted the field all his life, took out the incense case of the family during the New Year and the festival, thanked the heavens for the immortal food, thanked the Tang Emperor for his wisdom and wisdom, and repented of his previous disrespectful attitude, hoping that God could continue to bless them.

After the grain was dried and the rice was cooked, the rice was full of grains and milky white with a sparkling light, and the rice was cooked on the fire and eaten for the first time. In the past, there was rice, but it was only affordable for the wealthy, who were just the lowest level of the people, and they had no chance to eat rice at all.

Li Laohan attached great importance to that acre of rice field as an eyeball, built a shed on the edge of the rice field, watched it all day long, fertilized and watered, and took care of it carefully.

The second crop of rice has grown new rice seedlings from the cut rice stubble, looking at the rice one by one, Li Laohan happily closed his mouth all day long.

Li Laohan is just one of many ordinary people, who has tasted the sweetness, and every morning when he gets up and before going to bed at night, he will silently recite a few words in his heart about the emperor's wisdom, long live the emperor.

The following states and counties that distributed rice seeds have successively transmitted the data to Chang'an, and Li Er saw the praise of the folds, and he was so happy that he dreamed at night and laughed.

There is grain at home, and there is no panic in the heart, the eldest grandson Chong in Hebei and other places to collect the displaced people, see the golden rice, scoop out the full grains of rice, every household has a lot of harvest, and the granary at home is full.

Because it is a homeless person who has been co-opted, the eldest grandson rushed to Li Er to ask for a policy, and the newly compiled homeless people will not be taxed in the first year, and when they settle down, they will collect taxes in the second year, so all the grain they harvest now is their own.

Not only here in the Tang Dynasty, the courtiers and the people were elated, and the whole country was united and confident, and an amazing scene was also staged in the Wa Kingdom.

When the lord of the country learned that the rice seeds brought back by the last batch of envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, such as Inugami Mita and Yakushi Keihi, had now been harvested, and ten koku had been harvested, oh my God, this was double or triple the maximum yield of rice in Japan before.

At the beginning, Inugami Mita and others went through a lot of hardships with rice seeds, and finally returned to the Japanese country, tired and skinny all the way.

The lord of the country did not expect Inugami Mita and others to come back so soon, he was very excited, you must know that every time he goes to the Central Plains Dynasty, he will bring a lot of good things, I don't know what he brought to the lord of the country this time!

When the dog went to Sanda, the pharmacist Huiri and others came up with a pound of rice seeds, the lord of the Japanese country was angry, not only did not bring him valuable Central Plains items, but also offended the Tang Dynasty. Since Datang is unwilling to intersect with them on an equal footing, he will not get along with them, and as the lord of the country, he must maintain his dignity.

The lord of the country was very angry, but a minister who had a good relationship with Inugami Mita said in a statement: "Your Majesty the Emperor, why don't you try this Tang Dynasty rice seed?" If it's not as productive as they say, it's not too late to dispose of it! This will also show the emperor's benevolence and righteousness! ”

When the lord of the country heard this, he felt that although these people were useless, if the gains outweighed the losses because of these people affecting his reputation, he nodded and said, "You are right, then we will make a decision when this rice seed is harvested." ”

Inugami Mita, pharmacist Huiri and a few other unlucky eggs, although they knew that there was no good fruit to eat when they came back, but fortunately, their lives were temporarily saved, and a group of people prayed in the cell that the Datang rice seeds must have a high yield, otherwise they would die.

When the rice seedlings grown from the seeds brought from the land of the Tang Dynasty were very strong, the farmers noticed it, and treated it carefully, but they didn't expect to receive so much grain, and they couldn't help but report it to the lord of the country.

When he heard the report, he angrily reprimanded: "Don't lie to me, there is no way to have such a high yield of rice." If you lie for the sake of Inugami Mita, then you will be guilty of the same crime as them. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not lying, if you don't believe it, you can see for yourself, Datang rice is different from our Dongying rice, you can see it at a glance." I thought I could get a reward, but I didn't expect to be almost beheaded, so I hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Seeing that what people said was so true, the lord of the Wa Kingdom nodded and said, "Since you said so, let's go and see if it's true." ”

The lord of the country compared the difference between Dongying's rice and Datang rice, and thought that the rice seed that was only one pound at the beginning produced so much rice produced twice as much grain as the local rice. If all Dongying planted such rice seeds, no one in the country would go hungry anymore.

"Where is Inugami Mita? He is the hero of Dongying, and he must be rewarded. The lord of the country said excitedly that with these rice seeds, he could become the greatest monarch in the history of Dongying.

The people below cautiously replied: "Your Majesty, Lord Inugami Mita is still in prison!" ”

The lord of the country thought of hearing the story of the Central Plains Dynasty, there was a lord in order to get the virtuous minister, he had invited the virtuous minister three times, and with the help of the virtuous minister, he achieved a great cause, since he wished to be the king of the dog, then he personally went to invite, presumably his reputation can be further improved.

Sure enough, Inou Mita saw that the lord of the country came in person, and he was very excited, not only was he not beheaded this time, but he was also able to be added to the rank of knight, but fortunately he endured it and did not have a caesarean section.

When several people came out of the prison, the pharmacist Huiri suddenly remembered that the family had said that after the rice was harvested, the rice stubble would be harvested again after two and a half or three months.

"My lord, my subordinates vaguely heard that the people of the Tang Dynasty seemed to say that the harvested rice stubble can be harvested again after three months." Pharmacist Meri said uncertainly. (To be continued......)
