"Your Majesty's grace, fortunately with Your Majesty's blessing, I Datang, finally found a rice seed that can be double-to-three-cropping in a year." I almost couldn't cry, really, I was so excited, I don't know how many lives can be saved, and I can go to Datang's development of Jiangnan hundreds of years in advance.

Choking ...... With a crisp sound, the teacup in Uncle Li's hand was shattered on the ground by his hand, and his eyes almost burst, just like a beggar who had been hungry for three days and three nights saw a piece of oily pork belly. Don't talk about Uncle Li, everyone around me was like being whipped by leather boots because of my words, all of them stood up, Uncle Li seemed to be unable to suppress the violent heartbeat, his feet were weak, and he sat on the floor with his buttocks, and his mouth was like an unlucky guy who had just crawled out of the gutter in the cold winter wax moon, trembling terribly: "Can it be ripe for two to three seasons a year?" How much does that mu produce? ”

"If each crop is calculated according to two seasons, you can get five or six stones of rice, and if it is three seasons, you may get seven or eight stones." After Li Xiaode said this, Uncle Li rolled his eyes, and it took him a long time to regain his breath, and with the support of the guards on the side, he sat on the couch and gasped for bellows.

The blow is too big, this is absolute, think about it, how big is the yield of one mu of dry land in Datang at the moment? According to the current agricultural level of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention the north, it is Guanzhong, which has the most developed farming technology in the Tang Dynasty, if you refer to the dry fields in Guanzhong, planting one acre of chestnut wheat can only reach one stone and five to two stones, and the yield of rice is higher, and it is only three stones of rice, but they are all original seeds with a long growth period.

And now the Champa rice is different, although it belongs to the same grass plant as the rice varieties currently used in Datang, but it has a superior surname that is difficult to amaze. High yield, early maturity and drought tolerance are its three major characteristics.

----------------------------------------------------, the old peasant who was brought by Li Xiaode finally relieved his breath, and in front of our group, he stammered and introduced himself: "The little minister is the foreign official of the Linyi Kingdom, Zhao Fei, who has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty of the Celestial Empire." "It also startled us when he said it, this old guy is not an old farmer, but an official of Lin Yiguo, and he is not small, he is under Flo, which is equivalent to a deputy prime minister. Looking at his spitting expression, it seems that he has something to say, no kung fu, a small country with a big fart, what do you have to say, what Uncle Li wants to know most is the characteristics of this kind of Zhancheng rice.

The vice minister of Linyi had to describe the characteristics of this rice first. He is a Han living in Linyi, his ancestors were in the Han Dynasty, and there are still many Han people like him in the local area, even the lord of Linyi is a descendant of the Han people, and the official language of Linyi is also used in both Chinese and Tuyu, which is also a loss, otherwise, it is difficult for us to understand the special surname of this rice.

From his description, we gradually understand that the cultivation of this kind of rice in their place is completely extensive cultivation, without irrigation or much care, and the stolen rice grows naturally during its lifetime. In response to a sentence, drought does not seek water, waterlogging does not dredge embankments, neither need fertilizer such as manure soil, nor engage in a lot of field labor, everything is left to heaven, but it is such a lazy method, it can still achieve the equivalent yield of the best rice in Datang: two and a half or three stones, besides, from planting to harvesting only more than 50 days, and my Datang rice is only harvested once a year, which is equivalent to as long as the climate is suitable, always warm as spring and summer in South Asia, not to mention three seasons, four seasons I doubt it is possible.

Zhao Fei, vice minister of Linyi, raised his head with some pride: "Although my Linyi country is small, with a population of only 300,000, and the acres of land are less than 20,000 hectares, but the climate of my Linyi country is hot, and it is the most suitable for this kind of rice, and the minimum amount of grain and rice produced can be at least six stones per mu, and the grain rice obtained every year is ......" The old guy blinked, and counted his fingers there.

I'm also calculating, mother, arithmetic is not good, on the side, Uncle Li's mental arithmetic results are quite good, and he took a sharp breath: "Twenty thousand hectares, folded into acres is two million acres, that is 12 million stone valley rice, mother, Zhenguan eighteen years, my Tang Dynasty is a year old, but the rent is only more than 1,980,000 stones......" Uncle Li was in a too violent mood, and couldn't help but say a foul word.

Hearing Uncle Li's words, I almost fainted, damn it, it was too hanging, it was too hanging, Li Xiaode looked at this dry and thin old man viciously, as if he wanted to cut the old guy's trouser belt and take out the grain from his stomach.

Uncle Li shook for a long time before picking up a cup of tea, drank most of it in his mouth, absorbed nearly half of his clothes, and had water stains on his placket, can he not be excited? Uncle Li is considered to have a stronger psychological quality, otherwise, it would be good for him to pass out without excitement.

"Can I plant anywhere in Datang?" Uncle Li asked a stupid question, but Zhao Fei, the deputy minister of Linyi, answered more truthfully: "As long as it is not dry land, you can plant, but the further north you go, the fewer seasons you plant." If it is in the southern part of the Celestial Empire, it can also be planted for two seasons, right? Zhao Fei was not sure, after all, he traveled all the way to Chang'an and did not personally conduct an agricultural investigation of the Datang region.

One question and one answer made Uncle Li's mouth almost crack to the back of his head. However, Uncle Li did not lose his mind, and I also pretended to be a rice expert here to explain to Uncle Li what is the frost fall period and what is the growth cycle. Only then did Uncle Li come to his senses.

“…… According to Chen's investigation over the years, well, it is the conclusion of the study that the climate of a small number of areas north of the Yangtze River and the area south of the Yangtze River in our Datang Dynasty is more suitable for this kind of rice, which can be two crops a year, and if it is in the Lingnan area, a considerable number of places can get three crops. "Investigate a fart, study a fart, this son did not fool people, but I know that the grain producing areas of later generations, as well as Jiangxi and Anhui, there are definitely a lot of double cropping rice planting areas, and the two lakes and Sichuan are also large provinces for double cropping rice planting, not to mention eastern Zhejiang, southern Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, which have a hotter climate and longer frost-free period.

Uncle Li's eyes were like two high-powered binoculars, staring at me blankly, and Li Xiaode on the side also hurriedly spoke for me. "Your Majesty, Weichen can also testify, Master Fang absolutely did not deceive Your Majesty, and my Tang Dynasty Academy also received the news that there were records of planting double-cropping rice in Lingnan as early as the Han Dynasty, but for a long time, no one has deliberately promoted ......"

---------------------------------------------------- Uncle Li closed his eyes and took a deep breath, how beautiful the world is, the news I got today is so wonderful, after three deep breaths, Uncle Li slowly opened his eyes, and his expression had returned to the true colors of a generation of heroes.

"Lin Yi? Why does this sound familiar? Uncle Li frowned slightly.

I squeezed my eyes at Li Xiaode, and this guy immediately stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, this Linyi country is Linyi County in the former Qin Dynasty, and the former Han Dynasty was returned to Yuenan County, placed in Xianglin County, and the boundary of ancient Yueshang, and the former Han Dynasty's Fubo General Ma Yuan opened the southern border of Han and placed this county. Its country has a mountain of gold, and the stones are all red, and gold is born in it. and tortoiseshell, shell teeth, gibery, agarwood incense, ......"

Bewitchment, **naked bewitchment, Li Xiaode has been with me for so long, what are you waiting for if you don't make a move at this time? In that case, wouldn't it be a failure of my years of careful teaching? The Jinjuyuan, currently in charge of a semi-subordinate unit of military intelligence, is actually full of a group of people who spy all day long, inquire about the specialties, minerals, survival resources, military strength of various countries, military-civilian ratio, etc., which almost cover all aspects of the Datang CIA.

Now, the forces of the Jinjuyuan have also begun to be divided, because I don't want to have a system in the Tang Dynasty that is placed above the national laws like the general Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and more importantly, it is necessary to further clarify and divide their rights and responsibilities.

Uncle Li nodded: "Lin Yiguo, Lin Yi...... Hahaha, I almost forgot, it seems to be in the sixth year of Wude, your lord Fan Fanzhi sent an envoy to my Tang Dynasty, eight years, and sent an envoy to offer things, the first emperor for this, but also specially set up "Nine Music" to feast on it, Zhenguan in the early years, your lord also sent an envoy to pay tribute to tame the rhinoceros to congratulate me on his accession to the throne, the words are disrespectful, at that time, I Aiqing also wanted to persuade me, sent troops to ask for it, I have a saying: Xi Fujian wants to swallow Jin, millions, died in a battle. Sui took Goryeo, the age was transferred, and people were resentful, and they were dead horses. How dare I talk about sending troops? Hou Yu didn't ask, Hou Tou Li died of illness soon after he became the lord of the country, and his son Zhen Longli also offered a lot of strange treasures, I remember it very clearly......"

Uncle Li is here to show off, but I can't help but pout, Uncle Li is really a king who convinces people with virtue? Lord of Benevolence? It's like a pig slaughterer reciting a Buddhist sutra on a pig tied to the slaughterhouse.

Although Lin Yi is small, but the wealth of its land is famous, not to mention anything else, every time he comes to pay tribute, the various luxuries that make the ministers of the court and the central government green-eyed, otherwise, do you think that the ministers of the Tang Dynasty are all stunned, and will ask Uncle Li to send troops to attack for such a small diplomatic incident as disrespect for fart words? Uncle Li was not impressed, but he felt that this reason was too insufficient, so he did not agree.

And now, especially when Uncle Li heard this old guy say this just now, the greedy desire in his heart almost made him unable to maintain the demeanor of a great power emperor. Uncle Li's heart must be both jealous and resentful, why is this kind of good thing not in Datang's head.
