The chaos of the people, no one in the court reported to the emperor, until Liu Hou received the information from the supervision of the imperial history report that there were many problems among the people, and the problems had reached a certain level. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Liu Hou immediately ~ summoned all the ministers and scolded them, and asked them to solve the problem quickly. Seeing that the emperor was angry, several cabinet elders did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly fought at night and held meetings overnight to discuss solutions.

Liu Hou also attended the meeting at the beginning, wanting to hear what ideas several cabinet ministers could discuss. However, several people discussed for a long time and couldn't come up with a reason. The grain in the world has a fixed number, and the grain has a production cycle, not that the change can be changed all at once.

Deng Zhi is usually in charge of agriculture, and he proposed to promote the cultivation of Champa rice south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. In the battlefields in the three directions, there were scholars sent by the Great Han Longteng Academy to accompany the army. Of course, the most visited are medical personnel.

It is a fact that everyone knows that there are a large number of medical personnel in the Han army to escort the troops. In fact, there are some other professions of scholars that are less well known. For example, there are prospecting, surveying and mapping, and surveying animals and plants.

A long time ago, Liu Hou sent agricultural experts to follow the troops of the Southern Expedition to collect information on various animals and plants in Jiaozhou and its south, and Liu Hou also specially explained that they would focus on high-yielding rice seeds.

After Gaoding occupied Champong, experts from the Agricultural Research Institute found that there was a kind of rice with high yield, early maturity, drought tolerance and other excellent characteristics in the local area.

Fearing that the large-scale cultivation of this alien species would cause unknown adverse effects, the rice was not immediately planted on a large scale in the Central Plains, but was first planted in the Lingnan region.

After several years of trial planting, it was found that the large-scale planting of this rice did not have any adverse impact on the local ecological environment, but this rice is indeed much better than the original rice in all aspects.

This rice species belongs to early indica rice, and its characteristics are "drought tolerance"; the second is strong adaptability, "born regardless of location"; Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting. This kind of rice can be harvested three times a year in Jiaozhou and the south region, and it can also be harvested twice a year in the Lingnan region (Guangdong, Guangxi).

After research, Deng Zhi believes that this kind of rice can also be cropped twice a year in the Jiangnan area, at least in the Huguang area, there is no problem. Therefore, he suggested that this excellent rice seed should be quickly promoted in the Jiangnan area.

He listed the area of cultivated land south of the Yangtze River, estimated the yield of Zhancheng rice in these areas, and then compared it with the population of the whole country, and finally came to the conclusion that if all the cultivated land south of the Yangtze River were cultivated with this excellent rice seed, then the grain harvested in these places alone would be enough to supply the people of the whole country!

Hearing this, Liu Hou nodded secretly, this Deng Zhi finally learned to speak through data, which made him very pleased. Obviously, this time he came to the conclusion after some calculations, and he must have been planning for a long time, and he did not make a hasty decision.

What is even more commendable is that this conclusion he came to is also very correct, and there is a saying in later generations that "the lake is wide and the world is full". It's just that it won't be too late for him to mention this now?

No matter how short the growth cycle of Champong rice is, it takes more than 50 days, and that is still in the hot areas of the south. In the areas north of Lingnan, the temperature is significantly colder, and for the time being, the rice planting cycle in these areas is definitely a little longer than that of Lingnan.

In addition, the most important thing is that to promote the cultivation of a new rice variety on a large scale, it will consume huge manpower and material resources, and it will take a long time. Even if this can be done within a year or two, then the administrative efficiency of the government at all levels in Dahan can be regarded as very high.

You must know that in this era, inconvenient transportation, inconvenient communication, inconvenient communication caused by different dialects and cultures in various places, in short, all kinds of inconveniences, which will inevitably lead to low efficiency.

It is necessary to raise rice seeds, transport new rice seeds and distribute them to all townships, villages, and households, do ideological mobilization work for them, and teach them the techniques for planting new rice seeds......

With so much work, Liu Hou can imagine how much headache the officials in charge of "persuading farmers" are. Those officials below are good at oppressing the people and exploiting the people, but it is difficult for them to work hard and do such practical and good things in a down-to-earth manner.

In order to do this well, we must first start by training agricultural technicians, and let the Agricultural Research Institute first train a group of agricultural technicians, and then let them go to various localities to popularize a variety of advanced agricultural planting techniques, including Champa rice, to peasants in various places.

Under the low administrative efficiency, it can be imagined how long it will take to complete such a huge project. Therefore, this method is good, but it cannot be effective in the short term. In the long run, this matter is inevitable, and it is a major matter for the benefit of the country and the people, but it will not help solve the urgent need.

It was late at night, and Liu Hou saw that everyone had discussed and discussed and had not come up with a good solution, so he yawned and went back to sleep. The next day, he got up early in the morning and came to the cabinet hall, and found that it was brightly lit, and it seemed that several cabinet elders had really held a meeting for one night.

Liu Hou suddenly felt a little guilty, it was because he was angry yesterday that he forced several cabinet ministers to hold a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures. Although these pavilion elders are also young and strong like Guo Youzhi, there are also old and young.

For example, Zhuge Liang, who is in his forties and almost fifty this year, although it is not too big according to the age of later generations, it is only middle-aged, but the average life expectancy of this era is very low, and this age is not too small.

In addition, his body is not so good, a weak scholar, he usually lacks exercise, and the government affairs are very heavy, and under the hard work day and night, it is strange that his body can be good, so he died relatively early in history.

Liu Hou has always paid more attention to his health, in addition to sending the imperial doctor to regulate his body, he often advised him not to work too hard, but yesterday, because of his anger, he stayed up all night, thinking about it carefully, this really shouldn't be.

So, Liu Hou entered the council hall and comforted everyone with kind words, saying that this matter was not in a hurry, and persuaded them to go back to rest and rest first, and then continue to discuss countermeasures when they were rested.

Everyone was really tired enough, and seeing that the emperor's anger had disappeared, they didn't hold on any longer, and hurriedly reported the results of the night's discussion to Liu Hou, and then got up and went home to rest.
