"By developing science and technology, inventing efficient agricultural tools, discovering high-yield seeds, and summarizing good recipes for farming, we can increase the yield per mu, which is the potential to tap our existing land.

Buyers, through policy encouragement to guide caravans to go out to buy grain. For example, for reliable caravans, preferential export tax rebate policies can be introduced, but there is a premise that if you come back ten truckloads of goods, you must have at least one truckload of grain, and if you go to sea with ten ships, you must bring back at least one truckload of grain, and if you bring back the grain, I can refund you a part of the tax, so that you can benefit economically, and at the same time improve your commercial credit, so that you have the opportunity to receive larger and more orders from the imperial court in the future; In the end, your grain court will also pay you at the market price, and in this way attract all merchants to take the initiative to collect grain from abroad, accumulate a lot, and consolidate our country's capital. ”

"Wonderful." Li Jing blurted out again, he knew that this method could not only prepare for the possible drought in Huainan in the future, but also give Nantang an additional source of food without having to look at the sky.

"What do you mean by robbery?" This time it was Han Xizai who spoke, he was also a very smart person, but the more time he spent with Lin Feng, the more he could find that Lin Feng's whimsical ideas were endless, and he was really a little convinced, and he couldn't wait to know what other tricks Lin Feng had.

At this moment, a eunuch had already brought in a map of the world and began to hang it.

Lin Feng picked up a brush in his right hand, walked to the front of the map, and sketched the general shape of Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, the Indochinese Peninsula, and even Australia around the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"This is what Lin once learned from a conversation with a foreign monk, outside the Southern Tang Dynasty, the world is big, and the abundance of products is far beyond our imagination, such as here." Lin Feng tapped the south-central part of Vietnam with a pen, "There is a kind of rice abundant here in Cochin, called Champa rice, which is particularly drought-tolerant, born regardless of the land, and only takes more than 50 days from planting to harvesting. ”

In 111 B.C., the Western Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom and set up nine counties including Jiaozhi County in its place. Since then, Vietnam has been under the direct rule of China for more than 1182 years, and "Cochin" began to become the name of Vietnam. In the 10th century, Cochin rebelled. In 938 A.D., the governor of Jiaozhi, Ngo Quan, defeated the invading army of the Southern Han and became king the following year, and Vietnam began to break away from Chinese rule. In 968, the Dinh Dynasty of Vietnam was established and eventually established as a state, but it has always been a vassal or vassal state of China.

It was at this time that Champa rice was introduced to China through sea trade. In 1011 A.D., Song Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty sent an envoy to Fujian to take Zhancheng rice due to drought and lack of water in the Jianghuai and Zhejiang regions, as many as 30,000 Hu, which were promoted in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and the two Zhejiang regions, and ordered the transfer envoy to post the list. Shu Lan (1136-1198 AD) of the Southern Song Dynasty once wrote a book pointing out that Champa rice has good characteristics: "There are large grain grains, there are small grain grains, and the large grain is now called japonica rice, with large grains and mangoes, and cannot be planted in fields that are not plastered; Xiaohe valley is now called the city, also called mountain rice, the grain is small and the valley is not mang, regardless of the fat and barren can be planted. The so-called japonica grain, get less rice, its price is high, outside the official loss, non-upper households can not eat, the so-called small grain, get more rice, the price is cheap, from the middle class below all eat. ”

"At this time, Jiaozhi is only a small country, after we have completed the military screening and training, we began to practice with the surrounding small countries, sea and land sandwiches, first collect the source, and then advance by sea and land, seize the flow, and then, through the navigation training to occupy the Jiaozhi this grain-producing land; Then the north and south attacked, took the Southern Han Dynasty, surrounded and destroyed Wu Yue, and expanded the territory and sea area several times, since then we are like a proud dragon to go to sea, and annex the world, just around the corner. Lin Feng raised his voice and said.

The truce of the army is the national policy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Lin Feng's talk is to change the national policy of the Southern Tang Dynasty from now on? Immediately, many people couldn't sit still and were eager to try.

Wei Cen stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, govern the world, take benevolence as the priority, and peace as the precious. Our Tang Dynasty is a great country, and we are friendly with our neighbors, how can we start a war lightly and be untrustworthy? In fact, in the history of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the foreign wars of the Southern Tang Dynasty were basically provoked by Chen Jue, Cha Wenhui and others in the "Five Ghosts" and "Four Murderers" for meritorious service, but at this moment, Wei Cen criticized Lin Feng as a Confucian sage.

Without Li Jing to speak, Lin Feng replied in a loud voice: "Throughout history, the northern barbarians have gone south every year to fight the autumn wind, and they invade in a disaster year, because they firmly believe that the sword in their hands and the horse under their body are the most reliable strength. We agrarian people are accustomed to defending and passively defending. Lin Feng has always been very puzzled, why can others take the initiative to beat us, and we can't take the initiative to beat others?

Rabbits eat grass, wolves eat rabbits, tigers eat wolves, bullying the weak, the weak eat the strong, this is the law of the world for thousands of years, if we have the strength to be a majestic tiger, why do we have to be weak and bullying rabbits?

Since ancient times, the general trend of the world has been divided for a long time, and it will be replaced by division. Since the decline of the former Tang Dynasty, the world has been chaotic for a long time, people's minds are at peace, and the general trend of world unification will inevitably accelerate. To put it bluntly, the northern regime and the southern countries are like a tiger and a pack of wolves, and if they fail to quickly strengthen their own strength, they will inevitably be broken by the north one by one, and the country will be destroyed soon. Lin wants to ask, the survival of the family and the country and benevolence, righteousness and morality should be taken first? ”

This is a paradoxical question that no one can answer, and Wei Cen was also speechless by the counterattack, so he had to sit down indignantly.

Lin Feng didn't give up, and continued: "Ren should have a precondition, that is, if you are benevolent to me, I will be benevolent to you. I bet that if he attacks from the north, the surrounding countries will inevitably surrender one after another and even stab us in the back! What should be the essence of benevolence? It should be for the subjects of the country, not for the hostile nation. If you repay grievances with virtue and talk about benevolence and righteousness, it will become a pedantic move of Song Xianggong, and you will again attract the humiliation of the defeat of the troops in Fuzhou City. ”

The last few words were very lethal, and immediately made Cha Wenhui, Wei Cen and others blush with shame.

There's a story to tell. In the fifth year of Baoda, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops to surround Fuzhou, and this had the advantage. On March 14, Wu Yue's reinforcements arrived at Baipu in the south of Fuzhou City, but because of the muddy beach, they wanted to lay bamboo baskets and land, but they were attacked by the arrows of the Tang soldiers and could not land. At this time, strange people appeared, Feng Yanlu, the main general of the Tang Army in the south of the city, that is, Feng Yansi's baby brother, he suddenly showed a fight, insisting that Fuzhou did not surrender because the reinforcements arrived, so he simply let the reinforcements go ashore and killed them openly on the flat land, and the city would fall. As a result, after Wu Yuebing easily went ashore, he fought against the water, shouting and fighting, Feng Yanlu couldn't resist it, he actually abandoned the crowd and fled first, Wu Yuejun took advantage of the situation to cover the attack, and sent troops to attack in the city, and the Tang army on all roads broke and fled, and they all commanded Yang Kuangye, Cai Yu and others to be captured, and more than 20,000 people died, "hundreds of thousands of military funds and equipment were abandoned." Fuzhou then belonged to Wu Yue. The Feng Yansi brothers were also demoted.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Wei Cen and the others no longer dared to come forward.

The old minister thinks that Lin Yilang is extremely worried. The daily intersection of the country talks about etiquette and righteousness, for the small benevolence, if I succeed in the reform, let the world return to the heart, and surrender to each other, the party is the great benevolence, please think twice. Sikong Li Jianxun said unhurriedly.

In addition to the Song Party, Li Jianxun was the most prestigious person in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and many people also nodded while pondering.

As soon as the old minister said this, he immediately raised the height of benevolence, broadened his realm, and completely threw aside the struggle between benevolence and righteousness. Lin Feng also secretly admired in his heart.
