Chapter 70: The Oath and Guanyin Compete for Achievement (35)
In the following year, it was not only a year when Qujie's fame spread wildly and faith was harvested, but also a year when cattle, sheep, pigs and horses across the country frantically increased production.
Based on the current rough statistics.
Compared with the previous year, the number of cattle, sheep, pigs and horses across the country has doubled, and the most has even doubled tenfold.
Among them, the doubling are cattle and horses.
No way, cattle and horses normally give birth to only one litter, and in rare cases can give birth to two, and their gestation period is relatively long, about ten months.
It's basically equivalent to only having one child a year.
No matter how powerful Qu Jie's blessing is, at most they can only make them pregnant with three to four children, and there is no way more.
There are not many sheep born, only from two or three births to five or six births per birth, and two births a year.
Only the number of pigs is really many times over, one is that they can give birth to several in one litter, with the blessing of Qu Jie, naturally give birth to more, and the second is that they have a short gestation period, it only takes less than four months at a time, compact point, Qu Jie's blessing time in a year is enough for them to give birth to three children, and the number is naturally more.
In addition, Qujie also reduces the risk of production.
Improves the health of the cubs.
With such a result, it is a matter of course.
With the end of the year and the winter solstice coming again, Tu Minghui specially cut down the offerings of the other nine Sheji gods when he was sacrificing to the heavens, and only increased the offerings of Qu Jie.
No one has raised any opinion on his operation that violates the law of etiquette, whether it is the officials of the Ministry of Rites or other officials and nobles, after all, the contributions of the vast number of pomegranate mothers in the past year are obvious to all.
Compared with other Sheji Zhengshen who only accept offerings but do not have any returns, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to worship the vast number of pomegranate Niangniang who has many children and grandchildren.
But this time, Qu Jie did not directly exert the blessing of radiating the whole country like last time.
It's not that the gods don't have enough power.
The main thing is that it can't be blessed anymore.
Today's cattle, horses, pigs and sheep have reached a certain bottleneck, or in other words, it has reached the limit that the people in the world can afford, they can probably only feed so much, and no matter how much, they can't survive.
Or that it threatens the people's food rations.
Qu Jie is not the kind of existence that only cares about a lot of things, doesn't care about anything else, or doesn't understand anything, so it is naturally impossible to make such a mistake, but the new emperor Minghui's national worship this time has indeed made Qu Jie gain a lot.
So she specially changed the direction and blessed it.
Bless the fields.
The blessing is as follows, that is, in the following year, the crops grown on the field will increase the yield and income, and the yield increase effect can be fixed, and the seeds can be planted again to inherit the effect of 80% increase in yield and income, and this will be passed on from then on.
To put it more bluntly, Qu Jie will improve the varieties of crops growing in the fields.
And it is a heritable, retained breed improvement.
As for what is called a field?
Generally speaking, it refers to the one-third of an acre of land that the emperor personally cultivates and takes care of during spring plowing every year, but Qu Jie specially gave some preferential treatment this time, that is, no matter whether the emperor planted an acre of land or half an acre of land in the past, this year as long as it is the land cultivated by the emperor and the emperor.
can be counted as a field.
All of them are within the scope of the blessing.
This can be regarded as Qu Jie playing an operation similar to Jiang Taigong asking King Zhou Wen to pull the car, Jiang Taigong asked King Zhou Wen to pull the car, and finally pulled 800 steps, and got 800 years of the world.
Qu Jie now asked the two emperors to farm, and how many acres of land they planted, how many high-yield crop seeds they could eventually get.
It's not the same.
The most important thing is that it can also make them really feel the pain of cultivation and the suffering of the people, which is not much better than saying how difficult the people's livelihood is.
After hearing this blessing message, although Tu Minghui knew that he was afraid that he would suffer in the next year, he was actually in a good mood, after all, compared with the blessing of increasing the production of cattle, horses, pigs and sheep in the previous year, although the radiation range of this year's blessing is relatively small, but the specific value of the retaining seeds and sustainability is undoubtedly higher.
It can even be regarded as a great merit of increasing the national fortune, continuing the national fortune, and being able to live countless people in various famine years.
It's just how much you get.
It depends on how much land he can plant.
With the end of the sacrifice to the heavens, the relevant news came out, and while the people cheered, Tu Minghui also immediately made two decisions, one was to order the imperial court to do its best to collect the best crop seeds in the world, and the other was to hope that the emperor would be regent again.
So as to benefit the people of the world as soon as possible.
As for not worrying about the Emperor Taishang not returning to him in the future, let's not mention that the relationship between the Emperor Taishang and him has eased a lot recently, and he doesn't even care much about the affairs of the court.
Even if the Emperor Taishang really wants to seize power, how can he erase the merits of the Emperor Taishang for a year of personal cultivation for the people of the world, and even if he is not as good as Emperor Shennong's merits, then at least half of Shennong.
What will the Emperor Taishang use to fight with him?
However, how can things be smooth for Tu Minghui, there is no problem with the previous collection of excellent varieties from all over the country, and it has been implemented smoothly, the problem is that the emperor is unwilling to be regent, he also wants to farm, after all, people have many sons and grandchildren Pomegranate Niangniang has clearly said that the fields planted by the emperor and the emperor are useful.
This is the kind of thing that will definitely go down in history in the future.
Even if the Emperor Taishang is old and his body is no longer good, he is not willing to give up, and even he feels that his active participation in this matter will definitely be beneficial to him after his death, and it is even more meaningful to his posthumous name.
So he was adamantly disagreeing with the regency.
Let Tu Minghui find the prince to supervise the country, or if it really doesn't work, call the prince back to make a royal council.
He's definitely going to farm anyway.
It's hard for anyone to come.
In the Zichen Palace, Tu Minghui was about to die:
"Father, it's really not that I don't let you go down in history or something, it's not that I'm envious and jealous, I don't want you to share my credit, the main thing is that you are so old, and the imperial doctor also makes you feel good and recuperate, and the decoction has never stopped, how can you do such a hard thing as farming?
To put it mildly, if something happens to you in the field, how will I explain it to the world at that time? ”
"What's not easy to explain, even if I die in the field, it will be for the country and the people, and when I say it, it is not hundreds of times better than dying of illness in a certain palace.
There's nothing to talk about, nothing to say.
Even if I die in the field tomorrow, I will go to farming, and if I die, I will die in the field! ”
I have to say that the attitude of the Emperor Taishang at this time is really quite resolute, the kind that will not give an inch.
I want to farm, and whoever stops me from farming will be anxious with whom.
- In vain
