Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 282 Champaign Rice

The emperor asked three times.

Emperor's ambition...

Beyond the imagination of hundreds of officials.

Wen can rule the world, and martial arts can open up borders.

This kind of emperor has never appeared in history books.

Qin Huang and Han Wu slightly lose their literary talent, while Han Wen Guangwu is slightly less coquettish.

The emperor who can really "cultivate both internally and externally" and create a peaceful and prosperous age is called "sage king" by Confucian scholars.

Is there such a holy king?

Hundred officials do not know.

But at least Liu Yizhen's current emperor asked three times, and all officials knew that Liu Yi's true ambition was to create such a prosperous world and become such a holy king.

Except for a very few people, all officials are like spring breeze at this moment.

These officials are all ministers who followed Liu Yu's entrepreneurship. They may have their own careful thinking because of their background and interests, but their overall quality is still far superior to that of their predecessors.

In the 200 years from the Cao Wei Dynasty to the present, these courtiers are the top officials.

It's not just that Liu Yi really wants to surpass the emperors of all dynasties and create a prosperous world.

Didn't these officials want to surpass many seniors, stand shoulder to shoulder with Guan Zhongleyi, and even be worshiped like Jiang Taigong and Zhuge Wuhou, and leave their names in history.

When an ambitious emperor meets a group of equally ambitious courtiers, where will this country go?

Still no answer.

But at least everyone is willing to grope forward and bring unparalleled vitality to the world.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

It was Gao Yun who stood up.

"..."

It was another Liu Yizhen, but Baiguan didn't have time to complain at this time. Instead, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what Gao Yun had to say.

Not surprisingly, Gao Yun will definitely answer one of the emperor's three questions.

And this answer is what Liu Yu wants officials to work hard for.

Gao Yun stood up and bowed to Liu Yizhen, then took out a document that he had prepared a long time ago from his sleeve:
"This autumn, all places in the south of the Yangtze River have reduced production, but there is one place where the grain production has not decreased but increased."

"Oh?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to know which little farmer could outshine others in the severe drought.

"This is the three-acre paddy field in the southeast of Jiankang City."

Only three acres...

All the officials are a little disdainful, three acres, what can three acres do?Can the grain grown be worth a stone?

"Those three acres of paddy fields have an average yield of three stones per mu."

"..."

All the officials fell into silence, but then the whole court roared with laughter.

"Gao Shilang thinks that we are all people who don't work hard and don't know the grain?"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous."

"It is a high-quality paddy field. It is difficult to produce two stones per mu. How can there be a paddy field that can produce three stones per mu?"

These officials are not nerds who are stupid in reading, so they immediately sprayed Gao Yun back in combination with practice.

If it weren't for the fact that Gao Yun was behind Liu Yizhen, someone would have shouted "bewitching words to confuse the crowd" long ago.

Gao Yun said seriously: "This is the fact. The paddy fields were all planted by Mr. Wuliu Tao Yuanming. If you don't believe me, just announce him to the palace."

Tao Yuanming...

The whole court fell silent again in an instant.

They dared to criticize Gao Yun, but they did not dare to criticize Tao Yuanming.

Tao Yuanming's prestige among scholars was frighteningly high, and he also had some high-ranking friends.

For example, the current Shangshu servant shoots Wang Hong...

And I have heard that Tao Yuanming is narrow-minded... Cough cough, no, he is a celebrity. God knows if he will hold grudges against the officials who criticized him, and go back and write an article to make the officials notorious for thousands of years.

"If it's... Mr. Tao, maybe it's really possible."

The sound was like a mosquito, but it still attracted the echo of the people around.

Liu Yizhen also felt amused looking at these unscrupulous officials, but still pretended to be serious on the surface: "Is this really the case? Food is the foundation of the community, so don't talk nonsense. Come, Xuantao Yuanming enters the palace."

Less than a stick of incense had passed after the oral order was issued, a waiter reported that Tao Yuanming had arrived outside the gate of the hall.

At this time, the officials had completely surrendered and buried their heads in their arms like an ostrich.

Ah yes yes yes!

Emperor, take us all for fools!

Tao Yuanming can be found with just a stick of incense?This time is not enough to go out of the palace, right?
Obviously Tao Yuanming had been hiding somewhere in the Jiankang Palace long ago, waiting to be summoned, right?

Even Liu Yizhen's father-in-law, Wang Hong's cheeks were slightly flushed, the emperor... is a bit out of character.

In order to cover up their embarrassment, everyone had to look at Tao Yuanming who had just entered.

Huh?
Officials thought that even if Tao Yuanming's image was not a well-dressed and famous celebrity, he was also dressed as a literati with high crowns and high shoes.

Unexpectedly, Tao Yuanming is now just a set of sackcloth and a pair of straw sandals, just like a farmer.

If Tao Yuanming were thrown into the crowd, no one would have guessed that this would be the famous Mr. Wuliu.

"Did Your Majesty find the wrong person?"

With this doubt, Baiguan looked at Wang Hong.But found that Wang Hong was also dumbfounded, obviously he didn't understand Tao Yuanming's decoration.

Hmm...we're not crazy, it's just that Tao Yuanming is crazy.

Tao Yuanming was not affected by the strange gazes around him.

Tao Yuanming's world has changed since Liu Yizhen helped him open the door to the new world.

He has already walked out of the peach blossom garden in his heart, looking for the real peach blossom garden in this world.

And in this blessed land, he has already found some clues.

This clue is in his hands.

After Tao Yuanming entered the palace, he raised his hands high and saluted Liu Yizhen with something in his hands: "Craftsman Tao Yuanming pays homage to His Majesty, the Son of Heaven respects you."

"I'm safe."

Both Liu Yizhen and Baiguan's eyes were attracted by the things Tao Yuanming was dragging.

That's three rice plants.

The pole stands upright and is nine feet long.The whiskers are dense and the ears are full.

Good rice!
"Your Majesty, this is the rice seed brought by General Wang Zhen'e from Linyi, and it is called "Zhancheng Rice"."

"This rice is very suitable for cultivation in the south. It is not easy to plow it just by taking broken pieces, but planting it on the field, let alone moving the seedlings. After planting, there is no water for drought, no dredging for waterlogging, and no dung soil. Without hard work, the yield per mu can be as much as three stones!"

Not much to say.

But it was shocking.

Is this rice seed?

Do not!
This is a fetish!
The premise is that what Tao Yuanming said is true...

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!"

All the officials were a little crazy for a while.

If what Tao Yuanming said is true, doesn't it mean that in the future, if this plant is planted, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will be able to feed the people of Liu Song?

This kind of achievement...that is to be sanctified!

Historically, Champa rice was promoted to the whole country by Emperor Song Zhenzong of Zhao Song, which greatly increased the grain production in Han.From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with him running to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

Even Xie Hui and Wang Hong couldn't sit still.

Instead of questioning Tao Yuanming, they stood up and asked Liu Yizhen for instructions: "Your Majesty! This matter is of great importance. I wonder if you can let me go and see the rice fields."

They are both excited and scared.

Excited because once it is true, Liu Song's food problem will almost be solved.

fear is...

It's not that they don't believe in Tao Yuanming and suspect that he is deceitful, but they are afraid that this kind of rice is accidental.

If only Tao Yuanming's three-acre paddy field can grow this kind of rice, it would be meaningless!

Huaxia has been so pragmatic since ancient times.
