Green Forest and the Liu clan staged a power struggle, if you want to know what will happen next, please see the subsequent plot of the novel. One of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Liu Xiu's old classmate Zhu You appeared!

......

In the following days, Liu Xiu was simply not too happy, indulging in the gentle township of his wife at night, busy in the experimental field during the day, facing the loess with his back to the sky, and life was boundless.

About the court, Liu Xiu didn't ask!

"System, check how many military merit points I have?" Liu Xiu commanded the Great Inventor System.

"Okay, host."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest: convince Wang Chang to form an alliance with the Xiajiang soldiers and reward 500 points of military merit."

"The system reward has been issued to the account, please check it in time!"

The always low-key system gives a series of electronic prompt tones.

"There are hidden easter eggs, and you can actually do the main quest? This system is very scientific! Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and confirmed that he had received 500 military merits, which was enough for him to exchange the required items in the system mall.

There is a question that Liu Xiu has been thinking about for a long, long time...

From the moment he crossed into this strange world, he began to ponder, in troubled times, why is he a (read the second tone) person, and why is he a (fourth tone) person? This first person is how to be a human being and what to do with himself; The second is to be a human being, what should I do for the sake of others.

This question has been bothering Liu Xiu...

To tell the truth, for thousands of years, the peasant uprisings were all due to the corruption of the imperial court, and then encountered natural and man-made disasters, which led to the peasants rising up.

In the final analysis, it is actually for survival, for the rations on the lips, and for the land resources that the family depends on for survival.

When the peasants at the bottom are displaced by the war or become unemployed because of land annexation, this is the source of social unrest.

Peasants and land are fundamental issues.

If it is not solved for a day, it will be difficult for the society to be stable, and agriculture is the foundation of the state, so we must pay attention to it!

That is to say, if you want social stability, you must let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and hide their wealth from the people; If you want the people to be rich, you must store your grain in the ground.

Looking at ancient times, a large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of landlords and bureaucrats, and the peasants had very little land, which could not support their families at all.

Because of the underdeveloped agricultural technology and natural and man-made disasters, the yield per mu is very low, regardless of whether rice, wheat or millet is grown, but the tax is very high, so high that the land and farmers cannot bear the burden.

Liu Xiu wants to start with agriculture and increase grain yields, so that the people of Jianyang City, and even the people of Jingzhou and Kyushu in the future can live a life of abundant food and clothing.

Then we must grow food, as long as we can find a high-yield food crop and promote it, so that we don't have to worry about eating.

Liu Xiu strengthened this determination!

"Open the System Mall..."

Liu Xiu retrieved the mall page, clicked on the category, selected "Food Crops", and selected "Hybrid Rice", each kilogram of rice seeds needed to consume 10 points of military merit, and 200 points of military merit to exchange for 20 kg of hybrid rice seeds.

The hybrids exchanged this time are of better quality than the last time, with a high yield, with a production capacity of 1800 kg per mu.

As long as you can plant a good field, let alone a city where the people eat, it is enough to recruit troops and buy horses.

Another 300 military merits were consumed to exchange for 10 kilograms of sweet potato seeds and 10 kilograms of potato seeds.

Liu Xiu remembers that the excellent sweet potato seeds and potato seeds have a yield of more than 4-6 tons per mu, and sweet potatoes and potatoes are cash crops in later generations, but they are definitely rare food crops in the Han Dynasty.

How many people can be fed with such a high-yield food crop?

According to records, sweet potatoes were introduced to China from South America at the end of the 16th century, and although there is no exact time when potatoes were introduced, it is rumored that they spread to China during the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Xiu's wave of operations advanced the advent of hybrid rice, sweet potatoes, and potatoes by one or two thousand years.

On the outskirts of Jianyang, Liu Xiu bought 200 acres of paddy fields and dry land to grow hybrid rice, sweet potatoes and potatoes exchanged for the system.

From this day on, his legs seemed to grow in the dirt, and in order to devote himself to planting, he even built a shed on the edge of the field, where he ate and lived.

Farming people, farming souls, I am a professional worker!

Liu Xiu is to be a professional farmer!

Because the sowing season had not yet arrived, he found a test field to see how the seedlings were compatible with the land and climate.

After all, the seeds given by the system are all excellent seeds produced in China two thousand years later.

The temperature, soil, and climatic conditions were different from those 2,000 years ago and 2,000 years later, so he had to conduct experiments.

The first batch of experimental seeds has been sown, in addition to Liu Xiu found a lot of fellow villagers, bought pigs, cows and sheep manure at a cheap price, and used it for composting and fertilizer.

This must be done before the arrival of the sowing season next year, and Liu Xiu is working on it as soon as possible.

I wanted to spend a pleasant and fulfilling time like this.

I didn't want to think that half a month later, his old brother and old classmate Zhu You hurriedly came to him.

Zhu You, the word Zhongxian, Nanyang Wanren, met Liu Xiu when he was a child, had a very good relationship, studied in Chang'an with Liu Xiu, and has been following the Liu Xiu brothers since they started the army.

"Zhongxian, why are you here?" Liu Xiu was surprised by the arrival of his old partner.

"Uncle Wen is in trouble, why are you hiding in such a place?" Zhu You was in a hurry.

Liu Xiu felt inexplicable, wouldn't I just farm?

"Thorny Yang is in chaos." Zhu You's words, the stone is shattering!

"What's wrong? Wang Mang led an army of millions to take Thorn Yang? Liu Xiu guessed a possibility.

"No, the three branches of the green forest want to support Liu Xuan as the emperor, and your eldest brother Liu Xuan is in danger." Zhu You said the reason for the trip.

"Supporting Liu Xuan as emperor?" Liu Xiu is not surprised, this is a matter of time.

"What's wrong with my eldest brother Liu Xuan?" Liu Xiu continued to ask.

"Uncle Wen, everyone says that you are extremely smart, why are you pretending to be confused with me?" Zhu You said with some disappointment.

Then he calmed down a little and said, "If Liu Xuanruo is the emperor, how does your eldest brother deal with himself?" Since ancient times, the merit has been high, and there is no good end, don't you see Wei Ying and Han Xinhu? ”

"That's what it was." Liu Xiu looked very calm, so calm that Zhu You grabbed his thighs.

In such a critical situation, can you not pretend?
