Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 468 Fang La
"The rice in Champa is ripe!"

In the public fields of Hangzhou Prefecture, countless poor households are working hard, while the traditional rice in the private fields not far away has just been filled.

"The evil doctor Fan Zheng really did not lie, and the Champa rice matures early!"

Countless farmers looked at the mature and harvested Champa rice in front of them with bright eyes, and were shocked in their hearts.

When the evil doctor Fan Zheng promoted Champa rice, after distributing Champa rice seeds to all public fields, there were still a lot of Champa rice seeds left, and he sold them to all farmers at a fair price.

However, these farmers didn't believe it at all and were unwilling to take the risk of planting Champa rice. Now they can't help but regret it.

"What's the use of ripening early! The key is to look at the yield!" A scholar in Tsing Yi snorted coldly.

An old farmer scolded: "How dare people who don't know about grains dare to talk about farming? If Champa rice matures early, it can save a lot of farming time. After harvesting Champa rice, plant late rice, harvest in September, and then sow a round of winter wheat." , or rapeseed, which is enough to achieve three crops a year. Champa rice is particularly high-yielding. Even if the yield is the same as ordinary rice, or even a little less, it is still worth thousands."

The old farmer was shocked. Even though Champa rice was only a little earlier than ordinary rice, it was this precious time that allowed the two Zhejiang provinces to achieve the miracle of three crops a year.

If we harvest one more season, wouldn't it directly increase the output by more than 50%? At that time, the income of all farmers will definitely increase dramatically.

The scholar in Tsing Yi suddenly looked flattering, and the old farmer's words made him lose all face.

The old farmer looked at the heavy ears of rice and couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise: "Judging from this old man's perspective, the yield of this Champa rice will definitely not be low."

"That's natural, otherwise how could the evil doctor Fan Zheng have transported thousands of miles back to Champa to transport rice seeds!" said an extremely poor man proudly.

Nowadays, the early maturation of Champa rice has long made the poor households feel reassured. As the old farmer said, the early maturation characteristics of Champa rice are enough to allow the farmland to reach three crops a year. In other words, even though they only have one acre of paddy field. , but its three crops a year are enough to feed their family.

No! It's not as simple as filling your stomach. Before the Champa rice was harvested, someone had already bought it at a high price. As rice seed, the price was already double the price of rice.

This time, poor households like them may really be able to rely on this acre of public land and rice in Champa to make a comeback. At present, many poor households are speeding up the harvest.

Each household was allotted no more than one acre of land, and those with a larger population soon harvested the crops.

"Weigh!"

Bao Kang gave an order and immediately asked him to weigh the rice yield in Champa City in full view of the public.

"The yield per mu is 430 kilograms!"

When the output was revealed, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. You must know that Suhu has enough rice in the world. The rice output in Zhejiang and Zhejiang is already the highest in the world. However, the maximum is only about 350 kilograms. The rice in Zhancheng is The yield is eighty kilograms more per mu.

How many acres of paddy fields are there in the entire Liangzhe Road? If all of them are replaced with Champa rice seeds, the food production in Liangzhe Road will definitely be taken to a higher level.

Subsequently, more and more public fields were weighed in public. The lowest yield reached 400 kilograms per mu, and the highest yield reached 500 kilograms, directly breaking the record of rice yield per mu in the Song Dynasty.

"The annual output of Champa rice is 500 kilograms!"

Looking at the rice yield weighed with their own eyes, both officials and farmers couldn't help but gasp. Not only did Champa rice mature early, saving a lot of farming time, but it also increased the yield. Once such an improved variety is released, it will definitely make the two countries more prosperous. Zhejiang Road is getting richer and richer.

"Enrich the people!"

At present, many officials couldn't help but look at the young transfer envoy headed by him. No wonder the evil doctor Fan Zheng advocated that the promotion of officials should be based on enriching the people. The test of improved Champa rice was successful, coupled with the construction of Shanghai City in full swing, the two Zhejiang roads were rich after all. In the world, I am afraid that only Kaifeng Prefecture can compete with Liangzhe Road.

No! It is not impossible to even surpass Kaifeng City, the most virtuous place in the world. By then, the evil doctor Fan Zheng will definitely go one step further.

Facing a rising political official, the officials of Liangzhe Road showed no signs of neglect. After all, the future status of the evil doctor Fan Zheng is limitless. Plus, he is very young. If they really hate the evil doctor Fan Zheng in the future, They will surely be reckoned with in the future.

"Master Fan serves as the transfer envoy, which is really good news for the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang!"

All the officials were sincerely convinced.

Fan Zheng nodded calmly and said: "Send the order and immediately promote Champa Rice on Liangzhe Road."

"As ordered!"

A group of officials immediately took the order.

However, there is no need for the government to promote it at this time. Farmers who have witnessed the high yield and early maturity of Champa rice have already been eager to find those poor households to buy Champa rice seeds.

However, the rice seeds purchased this time were not at the same price as before, but were fully double the market price of rice, and even tripled in the end. However, even so, the supply still exceeds demand. After all, compared with the extra seed money and the benefits brought by Champa rice, it is not worth mentioning.

However, Champa rice is only grown on public fields in Hangzhou. Even if the yield is quite high, the poor households only have seeds for the next season, and it is still difficult to supply the huge rice fields on the two Zhejiang roads.

"There are no Champa rice seeds in the public fields, but there are a lot of Champa rice seeds in Fan's Yizhuang!"

A farmer said with a thought in his heart.

At that time, Fan was promoting Champa rice on the Liangzhe Road. Besides forcing the poor households to plant Champa rice on public fields, there were still a lot of Champa rice seeds left. Even if it was sold at a fair price, no one was willing to plant Champa rice. In the end, the evil doctor Fan Zheng gave it all to Fan's Yizhuang.

"The Champa rice is beneficial to the country and the people. I would also like to ask you to disregard past suspicions and promote the Champa rice seeds from Fan's Yizhuang to help enrich the people of Zhejiang and Zhejiang."

At present, under the leadership of Tan Hong, many inland county magistrates who have not grabbed shipping and pig farms have written letters. Everyone knows that whoever can get more Champa rice will be the first to enrich the people. Dominated in the selection.

Moreover, they have found out clearly that the Champa rice in Fan's Yizhuang has been harvested, and thousands of acres of rice seeds will soon be sent to Hangzhou.

Fan Zheng looked at the documents from the county magistrates and couldn't help but snort in his heart. When he vigorously promoted Champa Rice, the counties were opposed. Even though the announcement was to use enriching the people as the selection criteria, these counties were still uninterested. Now they are anxious and targeting The Champa rice from Fanshi Yizhuang.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "It is true that the rice from Fan's Yizhuang is coming soon, but I have other great uses! It will not be distributed to the counties."

"Is there any other great use?" Tan Hong frowned and couldn't help but snorted in his heart. What great use? Could it be that Fan Zheng saw that the price of rice seeds in Champa had tripled and wanted to let Fan's Yizhuang take advantage of the opportunity? Make a fortune!

"I wanted to be a dignified evil doctor, Fan Zheng, but I didn't expect that he also had such selfish motives?" Many officials couldn't help but feel resentful.

The official's scheming escalated sharply, and he said in his heart: "The evil doctor Fan Zhengding knew the advantages of Zhancheng rice for a long time, and deliberately sold the rice seeds to Fan's Yizhuang at a low price. But now he is selling the rice seeds at a high price. If this gets out, we will definitely kill him." His hypocrisy will be exposed."

However, Fan Zheng's voice changed and he said: "These rice seeds were bought at a fair price by Fan's Yi Zhuang. This time, Fan's Yi Zhuang will still sell the rice seeds at a fair price."

“Sold at a fair price!”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. It was thousands of acres of Champa rice. The price of Champa rice in Hangzhou Prefecture had tripled. If it were sold at a fair price, Fan's Yi Zhuang would lose a lot of money. Upon seeing this, Tan Hong immediately morally kidnapped him and said: "Master Fan is kind and righteous. I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of the people of Hangzhou."

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Master Tan has misunderstood. Fan's Yizhuang's Champa rice is indeed sold at a fair price, but it is not sold near Hangzhou, but to Qingxi County!"

"Qingxi County!"

Tan Hong couldn't help being stunned when he saw this. Qingxi County is the poorest county in Hangzhou Prefecture, and the magistrate of Qingxi County was involved in Zhang Ruzhou's imperial examination fraud case and has been dismissed. Who would have thought that Fan Zheng would set his sights on Qingxi? within the county.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Hangzhou City is already wealthy enough. Moreover, there are the most public fields around Hangzhou City. It only takes a year and a half for Champa Rice to spread, and Qingxi County is the most prosperous in the entire Liangzhe Road." In an extremely poor county, I want to implement policies to enrich the people, so I must lead by example. From now on, Qingxi County will be under the direct jurisdiction of Liangzhe Road! And the Champa Rice is my gift to the people of Qingxi."

"Qingxi County is under the direct jurisdiction of Liangzhe Road."

"A gift of one thousand acres of Champa rice seeds to the people of Qingxi!"

Tan Hong and others couldn't help but be stunned.

"Evil recipe, evil recipe again!"

Tan Hong and others' scalps were numb. Since Fan Zheng served as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang, he had acted according to the rules and everything he did was correct. But now that the evil doctor Fan Zheng has established a firm foothold on Liangzhe Road, his true nature was immediately exposed and he started to act again. The evil recipe comes from chaos.

Whether it was an official directly under the jurisdiction of a county or a transshipment envoy giving gifts to the people, this was unheard of in all dynasties.

"My lord is kind and righteous!"

Now that Fan Zheng is in control of the two Zhejiang roads, Tan Hong and others can only bow their heads.

Bao Kang, who was standing by, had a flash in his eyes. Others were still in the dark, but he understood the profound meaning of Fan Zheng's move. That was because Qingxi County was the poorest county in the two Zhejiang Provinces and the most Manichaean. Flooded counties.

After Tan Hong and others left, Fan Zheng turned his attention to Bao Kang.
"Master Bao! You are the successor of Bao Gong, and you are quite famous on the two Zhejiang roads. I have ordered you to temporarily take charge of the government affairs of Qingxi County for me. If the Manichaeism can be successfully pacified, I will not hesitate to recommend you to the imperial court to take over the Qing government. The post of County Magistrate of Xi County" Fan Zhengdao.

Fan Zheng knew that the biggest obsession of the Song Dynasty literati was to serve as officials. In the previous life, Songjiang had already been divided into one side, and for the sake of the establishment of the imperial court, he did not hesitate to let the heroes of Liangshan die one by one. And Bao Kang, the strategist of the Fangla Uprising, for the sake of official position, will definitely be the sharpest sword to destroy Manichaeism.

Bao Kang's breathing suddenly became stagnant. He failed many times and was indeed resentful of the court. However, Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao wrote operas that made their ancestor Bao Zheng famous. Bao Kang owed Li Qingzhao a huge favor, so he agreed to serve as Fan Zheng's master.

Later, Li Qingzhao exposed Zhang Ruzhou's imperial examination fraud case, which made Bao Kang very happy, not to mention Fan Zheng's series of actions for the country and the people, which made Bao Kang admire him extremely.

As for the position of magistrate of Qingxi County, it was his dream official position, leaving him with no choice to refuse.

"Thank you for your appreciation, my boss. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Bao Kang said excitedly.

"Okay, now that the rice seeds have arrived in Champa City, you will rush to Qingxi County with the rice seeds immediately!" Fan Zheng said decisively.

"Yes!"

Bao Kang solemnly accepted the order.

"Manicheism!"

Watching Bao Kang leave, Fan Zheng felt heavy in his heart. As a person of later generations, he naturally knew how stubborn religion is. If it is banned rashly, it will definitely cause Manichaeism to rebel. The only way to do this is to boil the frog in warm water. Minimize Manichaean losses.

Qingxi County!
Today's Qingxi County has just experienced a major earthquake in the officialdom. The magistrate of Qingxi County was dismissed due to fraud in the imperial examination. Today's Qingxi County is leaderless.

"It's so satisfying that this corrupt official like the county magistrate is here today!"

In Qingxi County, in a lacquer garden, a young man said angrily.

"What Fang La said is true. The county magistrate often exploited us painters and named the slaves ordered by the court to enter the acres. We are painters, but we still have to pay the exemption fee! Fang La took the lead and did not let him succeed." A painter admired him. He looked at the young man, he was none other than Fang La.

Fang La couldn't help but show a hint of pride when he heard this.

"But speaking of the exemption money, do you know that the new transfer envoy is the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng. It is said that it was him who proposed the idea of ​​commuting to his own land, and he was the one who arrested the Qingxi County Magistrate. Is he a good official?" A young painter told the story one by one.

"A good official? The evil doctor Fan Zheng was only in his twenties, and he served as the transfer envoy between Zhejiang and Zhejiang. If it weren't for the official Chongxin and his father being the prime minister, how could he be in a high position? He is a proper traitor!" Fang La said decisively.

The other painters also nodded in agreement. Although the evil doctor Fan Zheng had a great reputation, he made random evil prescriptions and was known as an evil doctor, so he had a bad reputation among the people.

Considering Fan Zheng's age and official position, this is indeed a perfect template for a traitor!

"With Mani above, the world is as black as crows. Officials have protected each other since ancient times. Once this person comes to power, he will bring disaster to both Zhejiang and Zhejiang." Fang La continued to slander Fan Zhengdao.

"I heard that the evil doctor Fan Zheng also brought back Champa rice from Nanyang. It is said that it can mature early and has a high yield, enough to be harvested three times a year. If this is the case, I am afraid we will not have to go hungry anymore." A young painter expressed his hope. road.

"Three crops a year is simply a foolish dream. Unless there is Mani to protect you, and even if there is, the evil doctor Fan Zheng will give priority to a wealthy place like Hangzhou Prefecture. It is not the turn of lowly painters like me." Fang La continued to attack. Tao, and at the same time did not forget to promote Manichaeism.

The eyes of all the painters suddenly dimmed. After all, in a wealthy place like Hangzhou Prefecture, they had only heard in a few words that the evil doctor Fan Zheng was far away from them, and it was impossible for them to interact with him.

"Good news, great news!"

Suddenly, an old painter ran up panting and shouted.

"What good news! Could it be that Mani has appeared?" Fang La and others were stunned and hurriedly stepped forward.

Manichaean apparitions are a common method used by Manichaeism to recruit followers, but recently they have not arranged Manichaean apparitions at all!

The old painter shook his head and said: "It's not Mani who appears, it's the evil doctor Fan Zheng who appears, no! It's the evil doctor Fan Zheng who wants to personally manage Qingxi County and also sent the seeds of Champa rice!"

"Evil doctor Fan is in charge of Qingxi County!"

“Champa rice seeds!”

All the painters couldn't help but were stunned. They were just talking about the evil doctor Fan Zheng, but they didn't expect that the evil doctor Fan Zheng would come. At the same time, he also sent the Champa rice seeds that caused a sensation in both Zhejiang and Zhejiang.
