In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage, it was not a yellow and ripe rice field, but a scene of rice planting that could not be seen at a glance.

In the paddy fields with the layout of the fields, the farmers are busy in an orderly manner.

It can be said that their position is the dividing line between those who have already planted rice and those who have not yet started planting.

The rice field behind them has been planted, and the rice field in front of them is beginning to be planted, but the place where there is no end in sight has not yet begun to plant.

"This, how many acres of land is this?"

"Looking at the layout of this field, it should be a grid for an acre of land, but this is simply uncountable!"

"Look at these seedlings, how are they so much taller than the ones we've seen?"

“.”

The pro-army guards behind Zhu Yuanzhang have already begun to discuss.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were still relatively calm, just focusing on the seedlings in front of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang just touched the seedling lightly, then turned his head and asked, "This is not Zhancheng rice?" ”

"This is much taller than the seedlings of Champa rice, what kind of rice is this?"

After Ye Qing looked around, he just smiled lightly with satisfaction: "I don't know, what name should I give this new rice seed?" ”

Hearing such a sentence, everyone looked at Ye Qing, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma were no exception.

Just because of Ye Qing's words, it's really wrong!

"Lord Ye,"

"Lord Ye actually came to see us?"

"Did you get the rice fish experimental field on your farm?"

"Last time I passed by, I saw a fat fish jumping higher than a seedling, and I quickly popularized it when I got it, and that's money!"

“.”

And at this very moment,

The farmers in the fields all saw Ye Qing, and even began to urge him to popularize the rice and fish operation.

Ye Qing directly ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and them, went straight to the farmer's pile, and said loudly: "You people are really insatiable!" ”

"This new rice hasn't been completed yet, so I want to fish with rice flowers?"

"This official can tell you that you can't be too greedy, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to do things step by step!"

"Only when the experimental data is in place and popularized can it be successful!"

“.”

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, whether it is these so-called insatiable peasants, or this Lord Ye who has the face to accuse others of being insatiable, they are all talking about two key words.

That's 'New Rice' and 'Rice Fish'!

The three words of this new rice still need Ye Qing to explain in detail, but the three words 'rice and fish' are too familiar.

Legend has it that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sacrificed to Wuyi Jun, he enshrined the predecessor of the rice flower fish, Wuyi Gaoshan dried carp.

The most famous rice fish is the Wuyi Mountain rice fish, because of the high terrain of Wuyi Mountain, it is difficult to have a natural pond, so farmers began to use their own rice terraces to breed carp.

Because this carp feeds on plankton and rice flowers in the rice fields, coupled with the relatively high altitude and low temperature conditions, the growth rate of the carp slows down, so this carp does not have the earthy smell of freshwater fish, but has a faint aroma of rice flowers.

Not only that, but the meat is tender and crispy!

Since ancient times, this rice fish has been the best ingredient in the Wuyi Mountain area, and it has the reputation of "ginseng among fish"!

"He Ye Qing still wants to make rice fish here?" Zhu Yuanzhang whispered in surprise.

Queen Ma just looked at Ye Qing, who was educating farmers not far away, and said with a smile: "There are natural grasslands, plain cultivated land, and many mountains suitable for farming, and there are many rivers in the distribution, and it is colder than the Central Plains, so there are indeed such conditions." ”

"If the rice and fish are popularized on a large scale, it will be the income of farmers!"

Speaking of this, Queen Ma also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and deliberately said to his heart: "It is also the tax of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, when he looked at Ye Qing's back again, he only felt much more pleasing to the eye.

As for the revenge that tortured him to death last night, not to mention that it can be completely counted, but it can also be counted for more than half!

And at this very moment,

Wu Yong, who always paid attention to the changes in the expressions of the two, saw the satisfied smiles on the faces of the two, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "The origin of this new rice is not the same as the Champa rice, it belongs to the Central Plains from foreign countries. ”

"This new rice is really hard-won, and it was only after nearly three years of research by our Lord Ye in the labor reform farm."

Hearing this, Rao is well-informed founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty had obvious horror in his eyes.

If it's just a piece of Zhancheng rice, it's a foreign thing, at most, it will give him Ye Qing a popularization and promotion work!

But the new species that I researched by myself is the work of creation!

Under Wu Yong's detailed explanation, they probably understood Ye Qing's research method, but it was still a bit abstract.

Wu Yong had no choice, so he directly anthropomorphized them: "It is to let the cold-resistant and drought-tolerant rice marry the rice with full grains, and then give birth to a rice son who is cold and drought resistant and full of grains!" ”

"Let's take an analogy, His Majesty the Emperor is not good at reading but is in good health, and the Queen Mother is not in good health, but Bing Xue is smart and talented, so she gave birth to a good son Zhu Biao, who is in good health and talent, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Yuanzhang completely understood Ye Qing's technical concept, but he was not very happy.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, Wu Yong's analogy is indeed very appropriate, but he always feels that he is scolding him.

But it doesn't matter anymore!

Compared with the new rice that can already be predicted to be harvested, what is it to scold him Zhu Yuanzhang?

Thinking of this, he looked forward to the yield per mu data, and he couldn't just look at the seedlings being taller than the Zhancheng rice, but not increase the yield per mu.

"How many catties is there in this mu, can it reach 400 catties?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked.

Wu Yong said honestly: "In our 100-acre experimental field, it has only just been harvested for one season, and it has been promoted!" ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yong directly gestured and said: "It's not too much, it's only twice as much as other places!" ”

Hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise, they knew what it was to have double!

Rice has a long history, the yield per mu in the Qin Dynasty was only 80 catties, and the yield per mu was only increased to 260 catties after the introduction of Champa rice, and it was only now that the yield increased to 350 catties.

Moreover, if it can produce 350 catties of land, it can be directly regarded as a high-yield land, and the yield per mu in most places is about 300 catties.

The yield per mu is six or seven hundred catties, which can directly be two acres of grain grown from one acre of land.

After Zhu Yuanzhang learned the astonishing answer of six or seven hundred catties per mu, he wanted to know the total output of the entire Yanmen County at the time of the autumn harvest.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Lord Wu, how many acres of land in Yanmen County can be used to grow rice?" ”

"We don't mean anything else, we are just curious about what kind of harvest scene is it when the autumn harvest comes?"

Wu Yong is waiting for his words!

In Wu Yong's eyes, the fact that the two of them are part-time messengers is already on the surface.

As long as he has a spectrum in his heart, it is equivalent to letting His Majesty the Emperor have a spectrum in his heart.

As long as the taxes raised after the autumn harvest are worthy of the amount of yield per mu that is enough to shock the emperor, their Lord Ye's promotion will be just around the corner.

Wu Yong thought of this, and went directly to the carriage: "I don't remember very well, but I brought the "List of Land Resources of Yanmen County"! ”

Soon, Wu Yong spread out the picture on the ground, and everyone immediately gathered around.

According to the legend, Queen Ma read: "There are eleven townships in Yanmen County, namely Shangguan Town, Yangmingbao Town, Ekou Town, Nieying Town, Zaolin Town, Tanshang Town, Yanmenguan Town, Xingao Township, Yukou Township, Mill Township, and Huyu Township. ”

"The largest river in Yanmen County is the Hutuo River, which belongs to the Haihe River system, which runs through the east and west of Yanmen County and flows through eight towns and villages. There are Heikan River, Huyu River, Dongsha River, Guangou River, Dongmao River and Ximao River in the east-west direction, and there are Ehe River, Yu River and Zhongjie River in the south-west direction. ”

"Yanmen County has a total of 2,582,300 mu of land, including 825,600 mu of agricultural land, including 434,700 mu of cultivated land, 337,700 mu of forest land, 29,600 mu of garden land, and 23,630 mu of natural grass and pasture land."

"85,100 acres of construction land, 148,800 acres of water, and 1,477,300 acres of unused land."

"These include barren grassland, bare rock, fields, saline-alkali land, barren mountains and wastelands suitable for forests, and military camps are related to training."

After Queen Ma relieved herself a few times before she finished reading, everyone was stunned.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked by this detailed data and detailed legend distribution.

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised: "Lord Ye, you actually know all the land resource data of this county?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt extremely ashamed.

He doesn't even have a legend like this yet!

How much arable land Daming has, how much vegetable land there is, how much grain farming, even if he doesn't say that he doesn't know anything, he can only know a rough idea.

Because the data reported from various places is an approximate data!

Wu Yong didn't answer positively, but said casually: "I definitely know it, if Master Guo doesn't believe it, just find a small legend to explain it, and measure it yourself." ”

With all that said, Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, he also had an idea in his head, that is, if nothing else, the current Tobe Squire could retire!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering like this, Wu Yong continued: "It's a pity that we don't have enough manpower, and we have more than 400,000 mu of arable land, but the land for this rice planting is only 100,000 mu, and there is really no one!" ”

"For those labor prisoners who are willing to stay and settle down, it's just a drop in the bucket!"

Hearing such a sentence, another knot in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was basically untied.

He was still worried that Ye Qing was accumulating troops by absorbing the population like this, but he didn't expect it to be purely to increase the labor force.

In this way, if nothing else, Tobe Shangshu can retire.

Immediately afterward, he began to secretly think about it again.

The yield per mu is six or seven hundred catties, and 100,000 mu is cultivated at a time, combined with the agricultural tax rate, when Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing's back again, it was pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, Ye Qing had finished educating these insatiable farmers.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the "List of Land Resources in Yanmen County" spread out, and he knew that this part-time Qincha old man Guo already had a spectrum in his heart.

As long as they arrive in the capital, he will definitely tell Zhu Yuanzhang non-stop, which is enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang look forward to the data.

Then next, it depends on how he Ye Qing disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang to the point of breaking out into thunderous rage!

Thinking of this, Ye Qing looked at these again, and the yield per mu was only six or seven hundred catties.

In the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, Ye Qing, who was not far from them, just faced these seedlings, and his eyes gradually changed from the initial joy to a strong color of regret.

Zhu Yuanzhang really doesn't understand, how can this person regret it?

The look of regret should not appear at this moment!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang walked to Ye Qing's side, and he wanted to ask what was going on!.
