"Quick! Unload the Champa rice seeds! ”

With the sound of urging, one by one the people carried bags of heavy rice seeds ashore, and then they were pulled away by horse-drawn carts.

This is the Champa rice that Fan Zheng specially ordered in the Nanyang expedited, and it was rushed to Liangzhejiang Road by fast boat, and finally arrived before the spring ploughing.

"Lord Qi Fan, the rice seeds of Champa have been transported, please give your orders!" Bao Kang got the news and immediately came to report.

He had already learned from the official document that the advantages of Champa rice would be promoted in the land of Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the rice in the land of Suhu would be harvested three times a year, and it would surely become the richest place in the world.

He didn't doubt Fan Zheng's words, after all, the evil doctor Fan Zheng had already created countless miracles, and he would not be untargeted at all.

"Since the Champa rice seeds have been shipped, and now that spring plowing is imminent, then pass the order and let the counties send people to collect the Champa rice seeds!"

Fan Zheng nodded with satisfaction, Zhancheng rice is a famous rice seed in later generations, and it was widely promoted in the Great Song Dynasty in later generations, and now he directly transported a large number of rice seeds from Zhancheng to accelerate the promotion of Zhancheng rice, and the rice output will definitely increase dramatically in the future, and it will definitely be able to make the Great Song Dynasty further powerful.

However, after Fan Zheng's official document was issued, it sank into the sea, and seeing that spring ploughing had arrived, no one came to collect Champa rice seeds.

"Qiyu officials, not only Hangzhou City, but other counties are unwilling to promote Zhancheng rice." Bao Kang hurriedly came to report.

"I don't even take the official's decree in my eyes!" Fan Zheng said with a cold look in his eyes, after all, he is a transfer envoy from the two Zhejiang, and besides, the imperial court has already issued the incorruptible silver, and the public land is no longer a flattering official, and he used it to promote Zhancheng rice and even obstructed it.

"The counties have rejected the view that oranges are oranges in Huainan and oranges in Huaibei are citrus, believing that the seeds of Zhancheng rice are not suitable for the climate of the two Zhejiangs at all, and the debts are heavy in various places, and the loss of risking to change to Zhancheng rice is too great!" Bao Kang bowed his head and said.

Fan Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Tangerine Huainan is orange, orange is Huaibei, this statement is not comprehensive, a Huai River is not Qinling, how can the difference between the two sides of the strait be so big, doctors have recently studied life, plants are also life, and they are also in this list, and it was found that although orange and citrus are close relatives, they are not the same variety!" ”

"What, oranges and citrus oranges are not the same variety!"

Bao Kang was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief, no one thought that this fable that had been rumored for thousands of years was wrong.

"The land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the land of fish and rice, the rice in Zhancheng is also rice, and the rice in the two Zhejiang provinces is also rice, and the two belong to the same plant, that is to say, since the two Zhejiang provinces can grow rice, the Zhancheng rice can also grow in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Fan Zhengdao.

"However, what if Champa rice can't reach three crops a year?" Bao Kang also expressed his concerns.

Fan Zheng said disapprovingly: "Champa rice can grow, even if it can't reach three crops a year, it can also reach two crops a year, even if it is not good, Champa rice is not adapted to the climate of the two Zhejiang, resulting in a reduction in yield, and the damage is only the public land of the imperial court, which will not endanger the people at all, and compared with the huge benefits of the success of Champa rice, this loss is almost negligible." ”

Bao Kang thought about it carefully and couldn't help but be convinced, what Fan Zheng said was reasonable, once the promotion of Zhancheng rice was successful, the rice output of the two Zhejiang provinces and even the entire Jiangnan would definitely increase dramatically, and compared with the very small loss of public land, it was simply a good deal.

"In my opinion, these public fields were originally owned by these officials, and now although they have changed the law to implement the cultivation of incorruptible silver, I am afraid that these officials still regard these public fields as forbidden lands, and want to continue to occupy them for themselves, and do not want Fan to interfere." Fan Zheng sneered.

Bao Kang was slightly stunned, there is no such possibility!

Fan Zheng sneered: "Since the imperial court has issued the silver for raising incorruptible money, the public land has lost the necessity of existence, originally the official wanted to turn a blind eye to this matter, since these officials are not willing to back down even such a little benefit, let alone for the people of the two Zhejiang, since this is the case, then don't blame the official for doing business." ”

At that moment, Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "Come here, immediately send an order to all counties, but all landless and destitute households in each county can get a share of land in the public field, and the only condition is to plant Champa rice for one year." ”

"As long as you plant rice for one year, you can get a piece of land!"

Bao Kang couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to come up with such an evil formula, so that those officials who wanted to continue to encroach on the public land could not only beat the chickens and eggs, but also vigorously promote the Zhancheng rice.

"Your Excellency is wise!" Bao Kang admired.

……………………

"What, give all the public land to the destitute households!"

When Fan Zheng sent this official document, the whole Hangzhou was in an uproar.

You must know that most of the paddy fields that can be called public fields are good paddy fields, and paddy fields of the same quality are not only cheap and expensive, but also have no price, and no one wants to sell them at all.

If the Hangzhou government wants to sell the paddy fields, it will definitely cause a crazy robbery, and it can even be sold at a high price.

Since the imperial court decided to distribute the silver for maintenance, these paddy fields have long been targeted by many large landowners, and as long as the imperial court agrees, they will collude with internal and external parties to annex them.

However, before the whole of Hangzhou could take action, there was an astonishing news that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had distributed these excellent paddy fields to the destitute people free of charge.

"Think twice, sir! The public field can't be divided! ”

Tan Hong, the prefect of Hangzhou, hurriedly came and hurriedly dissuaded.

Fan Zheng saw Tan Hong sneering in his heart, he had already found out that it was Tan Hong who took the lead in obstructing it, which made Fan Zheng's plan to promote Zhancheng rice blocked.

"Why, Governor Tan is still worried about the three melons and two dates in Gongtian, you must know that the imperial court has a lot more incorruptible silver than this!" Fan Zheng scoffed.

He did not have a little psychological burden on the direct division of official fields, after all, the imperial court had already raised a sufficient amount of incorruptible silver and given enough compensation to hundreds of officials, and it was reasonable for him to distribute the public land in the two Zhejiang regions as a transfer envoy.

Tan Hong said bitterly: "Master Fan doesn't know, although the two Zhejiang regions are rich, there are by no means a few extremely poor households, so there are really many monks and less porridge in such a little official field!" ”

The public land was for the support of the officials, and although there were many of them, it was probably not much better than the huge and destitute households.

Fan Zheng disagreed: "If you don't divide much, you will divide less, it just so happens that the official is implementing Zhancheng rice, which can reach three crops a year, and requires the people to cultivate intensively, even if the land is small, as long as you take care of it, you can make it live!" ”

Champa rice is three crops a year, it takes a lot of manpower to operate, it happens that the most impoverished households do not lack manpower, and let it be intensively cultivated, it will certainly be able to make the yield of Champa rice higher, only need to be planted for one year, so that the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang can see the advantages of Champa rice, enough to smoothly promote Champa rice.

The sooner Champa rice is promoted, the benefits of harvesting one more crop of rice far outweigh the loss of public land.

"Adults can't, don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, adults have given this batch of destitute households, what if there are destitute households in the future?" Tan Hong thought about it and found a reason that was not a reason.

Fan Zheng said without hesitation: "Fan only asked the official land to be distributed to him, not to sell it to the destitute households, these public lands still belong to the government, and they are redivided every five years, so that the destitute households who have been lifted out of poverty leave, and the original destitute households join in and redistribute the public land." ”

"Yizhuang!"

Tan Hong couldn't help frowning, Fan's Yizhuang is in Suzhou, Tan Hong naturally knows the model of Yizhuang, and Fan Zheng's method is very similar to Yizhuang.

"But ..................." Tan Hong still wants to persuade again.

Fan Zheng asked faintly: "Governor Tan has always loved the people like a son, and now those extremely poor households are all people who are in distress at home, should the prefect be reluctant to give them the public land!" ”

When Tan Hong heard this, he immediately became angry.

Moral kidnapping, it's moral kidnapping, he didn't expect Fan Zheng to use two tricks and two moral kidnappings in a row to deal with him.

There are three kinds of uses for public land, one is to serve as a small treasury for officials, and the other is to sell to large landowners, either of these two can benefit officials a lot, which is why they secretly took the lead in preventing Fan Zheng from promoting Champa rice, once these public fields are used to promote Champa rice, then their plan will be bankrupt.

And Fan Zheng just adopted the third type, that is, he directly divided these public fields, and Fan Zheng directly lifted the table in order to promote Zhancheng rice, and no one could benefit from it, and he cheapened those untouchables in vain.

"The lower officials don't dare, Fan Taicheng loves the people like a son, and the lower officials admire it!" Tan Hong could only bow his head and bow his head helplessly.

Outside Hangzhou,

A large piece of high-quality public land was divided into patches of paddy fields with more than one acre, and the rags and destitute households looked at the paddy fields under their feet, and one by one wept with joy.

Tan Hong saw all this on the side, and his heart suddenly felt like blood.

"Master Fan is really the master of the blue sky!"

The destitute of the families shouted.

They have been poor all their lives, but they have not had a share of their own land, let alone such a high-quality paddy field, and now although they only have more than one acre, they cherish it even more.

"All public land is free of charge to distribute Champa rice seeds, and if it is abandoned or replaced, or re-sold, it will be deprived of the qualification to divide the land."

Fan Zheng said solemnly.

The growth time of Champong rice is short, and the maturity time is early, if there are extremely poor households to change the plant, it will definitely be found at a glance.

In addition, Fan Zheng's promotion of Champa rice is not only short, but also needs high yield, in order to attract more people to plant Champa rice, and many extremely poor households are poor not because of illness, but because of laziness.

"Ahh

As soon as Fan Zheng said this, it suddenly made the hearts of many lazy people who were secretly lucky, they originally wanted to be lazy, or rent it to others, and they could make money lying down.

As soon as Fan Zheng came up with this strategy, he forced them to get up early and work late to farm.

At that moment, a large number of rice seeds were distributed in Zhancheng, and a number of destitute households immediately began to work in full swing, although there was only more than one acre of land here.

However, according to Fan, this is Champa rice, which can be harvested three times a year, and the yield is quite high, if this is the case, then they may be able to turn over because of it.

Fan Zheng looked at the crowd of people in full swing and couldn't help but smile.

He did not hesitate to risk offending the officials and insisted on giving public land to the destitute people, in addition to taking revenge on these officials for their inaction and promoting Champa rice, there was another reason to win the hearts of the people.

He came here for another reason, and that was that he came to Manichaeism, the most important thing in Liangzhelu.

The Manichaean belief in vegetarianism and the use of divine law to heal diseases attracted many low-class people, and now the destitute households are their most faithful followers, and Fan Zheng's move is to dig out their solid corners.

"Lord Qiyu, there is still more than half of the rice seeds left."

Soon, Bao Kang came in a hurry and reported a piece of news, which made Fan Zheng frown.

With the experience from later generations, Fan Zheng naturally understood that Champa Rice would definitely succeed, and naturally let the more sea boats pull, the better.

However, who would have thought that after the rice seeds were distributed to the public land, there would still be so many rice seeds left.

"First ask the people in Hangzhou if they are willing to plant Champa rice, and if they do, then sell the rice seeds to them at a low price." Fan Zheng nodded.

"My subordinates understand!"

Bao Kang admired.

At present, Bao Kang began to promote Champa rice in Hangzhou.

"Champa rice?"

"The orange is orange in the south of Huai, and the orange is orange in the north of Huai, and how can the Zhancheng rice in the south be planted in Zhejiang!"

Hearing the promotion of Bao Kang, many farmers shook their heads.

"Even if it is a big deal for farmers and businessmen, how can some rice seeds of unknown origin be planted indiscriminately."

"Three to four seasons a year, this can't be a conspiracy to occupy the city! Do you still remember the lesson of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when Fan Li of the two countries used seeds to harm the Wu State! ”

………………

Many landlords who thought they were knowledgeable also thanked Bumin, and if it was to save face for the new transfer envoys, they did not mind buying some Champa rice to sell, but Fan Zheng also stipulated that these rice seeds must be cultivated and inspected in the future, so naturally no one wanted to plant Champa rice.

Even if Bao Kang's tongue blooms, there are still very few farmers willing to buy Champa rice, after all, no one wants to let their fields suffer.

"The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the adults!" Bao Kang returned with a ashamed face.

"It's okay, it's their loss not to plant Champa rice, and there will be times when they regret it in the future." When Fan Zheng heard this, he waved his hand disapplauded.

"But what if there are so many rice seeds left?" Bao Kang shook his head.

Since Zhancheng rice has such benefits, the remaining half of the rice can be planted, which can save half of the time for promotion.

Fan Zhenglang said: "If there is any surplus, the official will buy all of them and send them all to Fan's Yizhuang in Suzhou, so that they can be replanted with Zhancheng rice." ”

Fan's Yizhuang is Fan Zheng's backhand, Fan's Yizhuang has a thousand acres of land, coupled with the influence of the Fan family in Suzhou, it is enough to plant all the remaining Zhancheng rice seeds.

Only one season of planting can make the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang understand the advantages of Zhancheng rice, and when the time comes, all the rice in the 1,000 mu of rice fields in Gongtian and Fan's Yizhuang can be sold as rice seeds, and its price will naturally double.

Fan Zheng believes that the destitute households who planted public land this year will make a windfall with Fan's Yizhuang.

At that time, those peasant households who refuse to plant Champa rice will be greatly remorseful, and will not only miss the opportunity to make a fortune, but also buy rice seeds at a high price. (End of chapter)
