Zhao Hengyi is most curious about this, because the south is mostly a place to talk about the future, so naturally there are more people who read, and they learn more, but the north is different.

Because of the land and the frequent wars in the north, many students in the north basically don't have that much time and don't have so much energy to study.

So the students in the south are naturally incomparable with the students in the north, from the Taizu period to the present, the matter of the north-south division examination has always existed, and it has never been banned.

I don't know what happened now?

"Yes, Your Majesty is still on the north and south lists, although we have also moved the capital division to the north, as the so-called Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies."

"Despite this, because of the geography and land, some people in the north can't get enough to eat, so naturally they can't compare with the students in the south."

"Okay, let's try it like this, I don't have anything more to say, I just hope you can speed up a little bit, don't grind."

Zhao Hengyi said to the ministers, and then began to promulgate a new thing.

"Everyone also knows that spring planting is about to begin, and this is also more important to us."

"Rice planting can make more people eat, and we need to think about this."

"You should have known before, I deliberately cultivated some new seeds in Qiongzhou, and those new seeds are full and huge compared to the rice planted by other seeds."

"The most important thing is that there are five or six times more material than ordinary rice."

As soon as these words came out, these people present were stunned for a moment, and many ministers couldn't believe that this thing was true.

These Hanlin scholars in the cabinet had not heard of this before, and they also turned their ears to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of the sages.

They don't know much about things outside the court, and as scholars, they have indeed been separated from many ordinary people for a long time.

"Your Majesty, is this true, you have cultivated and planted new rice in Qiongzhou yourself, and the yield is five or six times higher than that of ordinary rice, that is really incredible!

If all the people who grow rice in the country can plant this seed, then my Dayan may be able to make all the people have enough to eat and not go hungry in two or three years. ”

Zhao Hengyi knew that these people would not believe it, but Lu Guogong still believed it, he knew his son-in-law's ability, and he also knew about it.

As for the officials who have been following him, they all understand this matter, and they have all seen it.

"Everyone, I'm afraid you don't know, this rice has been planted by His Majesty for a long time, and it has been a long time."

"It's just that at the beginning, His Majesty didn't make this public, and later, this rice with a very high yield will only start to be planted near Qiongzhou."

The original emperor is now the king of Liang, and he also knows about this matter, and he also knows about it through some channels.

But instead of letting the people plant, he remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking. ”

After Liu Yunzhi explained this matter in detail, the big guy finally understood.

That's what it looks like.

Indeed, this one is a little embarrassing and speechless.

Obviously, there are very good rice seeds, and they can be planted in a large area, but they have to wait, and they have to make everyone hungry before they remember.

However, some officials are still smarter, and they can figure out why the previous King of Liang didn't choose to plant a large area?

Everyone knows that this new rice seed was discovered by Zhao Hengyi.

If it is really a large-scale planting, which also leads to a sharp increase in grain production, then who will the people thank at that time? I'm afraid it's not the emperor, it's Zhao Hengyi!

Truth be told, there's really no one else but him.

"In addition to planting rice on a large scale, we also need to grow corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and potatoes on a large scale."

"These are the seeds I snatched from the pirates, and they are suitable for large-scale cultivation, and they are especially useful in places like the North."

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should also know that rice cannot be grown in the north, and only wheat can be grown in the north, so how can the yield of wheat increase?"

Zhao Hengyi looked at them coldly.

At this time, everyone was also very embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say.

And how do they know how to increase the production of food? The safest way now is naturally to build a new water conservancy.

Let the people of the Ministry of Industry repair the water conservancy project, then basically a lot of fertile land can be irrigated.

And it can also allow a lot of people to have water to eat, so it is already good.

As for whether there is any other way to produce grain, they can't think of it anyway, so they can only let the emperor think about it.

Zhao Hengyi did not hesitate and said directly: "The reason why I was able to cultivate better rice seeds was to be able to breed this kind of rice seeds that greatly increased grain production. ”

"That's a lot of work."

"The main thing is that it takes me a long time and a lot of energy to cultivate such a quasi-word, which has always been in the south before, so naturally I am more concerned about the cultivation of rice."

"So ministers, you need to work hard to help me share my worries, and Fang Zheng will bear some authors, so that the certificate will be free, and you can come out to cultivate such a new seed, so that most of the people can have enough to eat, isn't that good?"

These ministers listened very carefully just now, and thought they could say something, but now they understand, but they just want them to help the emperor deal with government affairs......

They were a proper tool, but those present did not refuse.

They also think that this is not a big deal, and it is really good to help the emperor do things.

"Excuse me, now that the government has just stabilized, and you are not particularly familiar with many things, we ministers will help you share very little, but after you gradually become proficient.

After you are handy, then our minister can help you share some government affairs. ”

"Okay, no problem."

"But here I still need to tell you that the north still has to vigorously and actively promote the planting of corn, because it can really feed many people, and there is no need for such good land."
