Chapter 506 Danyu Plain
Everyone subconsciously blurted out: "Danyu Plain."

Kino drew a virtual circle on the map with his finger: "Danyu Plain is located in the southwest of Miyue Province, with an area of ​​more than [-] hectares. The climate here is like spring all the year round, and the day and night are half year-round. The soil is all red soil. It is the only place in the Kingdom suitable for large-scale cultivation of blood essence grass."

"In addition, Danyu Plain is under the jurisdiction of "Danyu City". Like Dusk City, Danyu City is a city under the direct control of the royal family. His Majesty the King can directly draft an order to request Danyu City to immediately replant the crops in Danyu Plain.As long as the blood essence grass seeds can be sown within two months, enough blood essence grass can be produced to fill the gap before the purified blood reserves are exhausted. "

Perseus squinted his eyes and nodded slightly to express his approval, but his worried expression remained undiminished: "This is indeed a solution, but it will also bring another problem - because the climate of the Danyu Plain is like spring all the year round, there are 12 year-round It has been cultivating wheat ears for months, and it is an important grain-producing area in Dogolande, known as the "Kingdom Granary". "

"Danyu Plain will sow wheat seeds in the seasons of "Dilu" and "God Blessing" every year, and harvest once every six months. Now it is "winter" and "snow will return", and the wheat ears in Danyu Plain are growing well. Wang, the farmers will soon be ready to harvest. "

"The food in Danyu City has always been self-sufficient. There are more than 600 million people in the city, and because of the climate, there is no cold season there, and the common people don't have the concept of "storing food for the winter". Every family buys food on the spot. Eat now, don't store much food. "

"If the immature ears of wheat in the Danyu Plain are pulled out at this time, it is equivalent to cutting off their food source. What will the more than 600 million mouths be fed?"

Perseus's concerns are not unreasonable. Food is the most important thing for the people. This sentence is not just for words. A full stomach is the most basic prerequisite for social stability, and hunger is often a precursor to civil unrest.

In this cold winter season, except for Danyu City, which is like spring all the year round, the crops in all parts of the kingdom cannot grow. It would be good if the food in other cities can feed their own citizens. It is difficult to raise food to help Danyu City.

Kino thought for a while and said silently: "Since we know that the blood essence grass is an indispensable raw material for purifying blood, it means that this plant that was once useless to us will become an important plant in the future. Strategic materials can even be said to be the lifeblood."

"This kind of lifeblood must not be controlled by the Far East Dynasty. Even if they are willing to continue to supply us with blood essence grass in the future, the kingdom must also cultivate it on its own, and it cannot be blocked by others."

"In other words, it is inevitable that Danyu Plain will abandon the ears of wheat and replant blood essence grass, and farming for grain production will forever become history."

"As for the food shortage caused by this, my idea is to open up the national treasury, use the strategic grain reserves, and send a sufficient amount of food to Danyu City in advance to help the people. As long as they can feed them, everything is easy to talk about."

At this time, Lan Xian asked a very important question: "What about the nobles in Danyu City? The fields in Danyu Plain are divided and contracted by noble farmers, so sudden replanting will definitely harm their interests. Of course, the royal family can forcibly order the land to be changed." However, if this kind of thing gets out, it will have a big impact on the image and reputation of the royal family."

Chino signaled to be calm, and said calmly: "As for how to appease the noble farmers in Danyu City, I have also thought about it. The royal family can come forward and guarantee that all the cultivated blood essence grass will be purchased at a high premium. Cooperators provide future tax benefits."

"To put it bluntly, the nobles only care about the word 'interest'. As long as the royal family makes macro-control, the benefits of cultivating blood essence grass are greater than the benefits of cultivating food, let alone not cooperating, it is too late for those nobles to rush to do it."

This made sense, and Lan Xian nodded, expressing that he had no objection.

Perseus silently calculated with his hands on his forehead: "There are more than 600 million people in Danyu City. According to the relief standard, each person will receive one catty of grain per day. From the current "winter" season to the "falling flower" season of autumn harvest next year, We have to distribute relief food for at least 9 months, which amounts to 162 million tons of food in total. "

"The strategic grain reserve in Wangcheng's treasury is about this amount. If it is not enough, it may need to be borrowed from other parts of the province, or it may even be shy to buy from those big noble families."

"There is also the part of Danyu Plain where the blood essence grass is replanted and the profit is given away. It is necessary to buy the blood essence grass from the local nobles at a premium, and to give tax incentives. All the blood essence grass planted must be supplied to the Scarlet Church. All the money from the sale of Purified Blood belongs to the Scarlet Church. In the end, we were exhausted and couldn’t even collect a single moon coin.”

When Perseus said this, he was laughed at by himself: "I think it's better to directly mobilize the army rations, send troops to various places to clear the epidemic areas, and kill the millions of infected people, so as to save trouble."

Everyone knew that this was Perseus' angry words on purpose, and they couldn't answer, so everyone was silent.

After a long silence, Perseus let out a long sigh and said, "Let's do as Consul Kino and Grand Master Yuanwen think. Cultivating blood essence grass is the only way out. I will go to the treasury in person. The 162 million tons of relief food needed for the preparations will be transported to Danyu City immediately by land and water transport."

When Perseus said this, he looked at Lan Xian: "Lan Xian, please summarize the key points discussed at our meeting, and then draw up a letter and send it to the "consul" Gome of Danyu City, asking him to coordinate with the local nobles immediately. Pull out all the crops on the Danyu Plain and plant blood essence grass instead, and deliver 6270 tons of blood essence grass to Wangcheng before next year's "booting" season. "

"In addition, draw up another letter and send it to Lin Gengsen, the "Supervisor" of Danyu City, and let him be responsible for supervising the cultivation of blood essence grass and stockpiling food to help the civilians. He will report the progress to Wangcheng Feishu every 7 days. "

"Yes." Lan Xian thought for a while and asked, "About Abao."

Perseus shook his head: "Don't reveal anything about Ah Bao in advance, as long as the few of us know about it. I'm still negotiating with the Far East in secret, and I don't know how the situation will develop for the time being. I will write it into an official document after the negotiation is completed. to various places."

"Yes." Lan Xian didn't ask any more questions.

Perseus got up, looked around the crowd, and said very seriously: "Everyone, Dogrand is facing an existential crisis. I know that everyone here usually has different political opinions, but at this juncture, we must work together."

"It has been 513 years since the founding of Dogland, and next year will be 514. Its progress will never stop here, never! Our land and people will always be shrouded in the light of the sun, and continue from generation to generation. Glory to the sun!"

"Glory to the sun!" Everyone stood up, and their shouts echoed around.
