Dao Fruit

"...These are Yili rice. Not long after they were planted, something strange happened. Some people said at that time that it would be difficult to survive. However, the court would not listen to the words of the common people. Several rebuttals led to the government's strong suppression. There were even subordinates there during the farming. Watching from the sidelines has resulted in bitter consequences today.”

Qiu Yan walked on the ground, listening to the words of the guide in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

After he made the request, Wang Sheng, the leader of the rebel army, hesitated at first, but still made up his mind and sent several people to lead Qiu Yan and two attendants to the fields behind the village.

Along the way, Qiu Yan talked with the person leading the way, and from time to time with the two attendants, and slowly grasped the information.

It turned out that his position as the Great Secretary Nong came very suddenly. The original Great Secretary Nong was held accountable by the leader of the Liang Kingdom due to the sudden uprising. He was imprisoned and beheaded soon. However, the official position could not be left vacant. It fell on Qiu Yan's head.

As for Nagiri rice, he already knew about it from the mouths of two attendants, and knew that it was a rice seed from neighboring countries.

This kind of rice has a huge yield, and after harvesting, the giri rice obtained has round grains and a good taste. As a staple food, it can also improve the mind and make people smarter.

The leader of Liang State didn't care at first, but a year ago, a scholar named Zhang Qin came to the court. He was eloquent and very popular with the leader of the country. This man promptly proposed that Liang State switch to Yili rice, which was favored by the state. The Lord accepted it, and only then did the rest happen.

After figuring out the general situation, Qiu Yan followed a few people to the field, looked at the lush green fields, and frowned.

These rice, called "giri rice", fell in patches in the fields, exuding an atmosphere of decay, decadence, and a faint air of death.

"Lodging is so serious, but half of the harvest is lost." Qiu Yan sighed. He didn't know much about mulberry farming, but he also knew that lodging affected the harvest.

Among the people leading the way was an old man in his fifties, with a face full of wrinkles. Hearing Qiu Yan's emotion, he suddenly said with a sad face: "This is just the beginning. After a few days, it won't just be lying down, it will be..." I want them all to die!”

Qiu Yan turned his head when he heard this and said, "Do you have any evidence for what the old man said? As far as I know, although lodging affects the yield, it will not result in no harvest."

"Sir, you don't know what's going on in the northern countries," the old man sighed, "If this thing hadn't happened, why would Wang Sheng and the others rise up?"

"What happened to the countries in the north?" After the old man sighed with emotion, Qiu Yan asked. From what the attendant just said, Qiu Yan roughly judged that the Liang Kingdom was not a unified dynasty, and there were many small countries around it. For example, the Song Dynasty, which introduced Yili rice, is one of them.

The old man said with a sad face: "The old man has a distant relative. He is a wanderer. He has traveled north to other countries, so he knows some things about other countries. I heard that Liang Guo is not the only one doing this transplanting of Yili rice. Zheng Guo, Wei Guo and others are also doing it. The states of China, Wei, etc. all planted this rice in the past few years, but most of them failed to survive. They first fell down and finally failed to harvest, resulting in thousands of miles of bare land and starvation. "

"Oh?" Qiu Yan's expression changed slightly, "In that case, why don't the old man tell the government clearly? Or maybe find a witness to increase his persuasiveness?"

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he said: "My lord is joking. The old man introduces me to Bai Ding. How can those scholar-bureaucrats believe what I say? It's not easy for me and the tenant farmers to even get close to the government, let alone go there." Reported to the official."

Speaking of this, he added: "As for reporting to the official, the matter of Yili Rice has been spread to many countries. Even many people in the Song State knew it well. Wouldn't they have planted it in the end? If it hadn't been for the Song State. Great Xian, I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to survive.”

"Old man, what do you mean by what you said? The fact that Yili Dao had a hard time surviving has been spread all over the world for a long time? Then the Song Dynasty was also harmed?"

After hearing the news, Qiu Yan's heart moved. The scene in front of him became illusory again, like a dream, but only for a moment, it returned to its original state. However, Qiu Yan clearly felt that a cold and chaotic aura was lingering around him, as if... Waiting for an opportunity.

His heart was beating, and his senses were shrouded in the past to explore, but when he was about to make contact, Qiu Yan suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. He noticed a hint of darkness in the cold aura, and knew that once he touched it, his consciousness was likely to be contaminated by foreign matter.

"Is it sin or curse?"

A guess arose, and a faint voice suddenly sounded in Qiu Yan's ears.

"Huh?" He listened carefully and recognized Chen Jing's voice, but it was too vague to make out what was said.

Shaking his head and asking the old man a few more questions, Qiu Yan then walked down to the field, squatted on the ground, reached out to touch the rice, and released his sensory probe. However, when his perception touched the rice, he seemed to have hit a whirlpool, pulling on his own body. Consciousness wants to be swallowed up in it!

His heart trembled and his consciousness returned. Qiu Yan stood up with a serious look on his face.

"Whether the scene in front of me is an illusion or reality, it is strange and unusual everywhere. The fact that I just heard Chen Jing's voice means that it is not another time travel, and the soul is still there, which means that the cultivation level has not been lost. After ruling out all possibilities, the rest That one should be the answer..."

After thinking about it, he stood up straight, touched the beard around his mouth, and then looked into the distance, seeing fields and rolling hills.

"This is Shilin!"

On the way back, Qiu Yan sat in silence on the carriage. He first examined himself and found that in addition to being physically weak, he was also quite old, probably in his forties.

Just now, he had a few words with the old man, which was not limited to the uprising and farming, but also involved all kinds of trivial matters, and even some parents had shortcomings. He collected a lot of information, and now he is analyzing and summarizing it while sitting in the car, and he probably understands the pulse of the times.

This is a world similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where the emperor enfeoffed and feudal lords stood side by side. In terms of social stratification, it was close to the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, and power was facing a reshuffle.

"At the aristocratic level, in addition to the landlords and slave owners who gained power through enfeoffment, bureaucrats, military meritorious officials, and meritorious landlords are on the rise; as for the common people, they are divided into households, tenant farmers, and farm laborers."

Qiu Yan carefully recalled what the rebels, the old man, and the two attendants had said, trying to sort out his thoughts.

"Regardless of whether this world is illusory or not, since it has appeared, there must be a reason. So far, the biggest reminder should be righteousness, righteousness, righteousness, refers to the truth that is universal, and this righteousness is also the matter of Liang Guo The source of the end.”

"Starting from here, finding out the meaning of Yili Rice, you may be able to understand the root cause of Shilin's changes. But to see through all the complications, the first step is not to rush in, but to collect enough information, and then explore in detail."

"However, we must solve it quickly. Once we understand the reason, we must cut the knot quickly! It has been delayed for a long time, not to mention other things. Just missing the Xingtan forum will make it difficult to return, and it will delay the human experience! However, during this period, you can pay due attention, experience the life in the feudal era, and improve your humanity, maybe you can use it in the land of relics in the future. "

While Qiu Yan was thinking, the two attendants waiting on the side looked worried.

The two attendants were both young, and one of them was the young man who scolded Wang Sheng in the military camp.

Seeing Qiu Yan's silence, the young man suddenly said, "Clan brother, could it be that he wants to admonish the king?"

As soon as he said this, before Qiu Yan could respond, he felt the surrounding aura change. A cold air spread over and lingered on the surface of the skin. Qiu Yan's current body had not been beaten, and the skin and flesh were weak. As soon as the cold air blew, goosebumps appeared all over my body.

"What's going on?"

Just when Qiu Yan was confused, the young man continued: "When my brother Guan clan spoke to the bandit leader just now, he left some room in his words. Then he asked the old farmer about the origin of Yili rice in the field. He must have something in mind."

Having said this, he said solemnly, without waiting for Qiu Yan's reply: "Brother, you are able to sit in the position of Chief Agriculture Officer now only because of your hard work all the time, so that you can be appreciated by the king. When you established your own business, you went through a lot." There have been twists and turns, but things have not improved until today. Don’t make your Majesty angry because of impulsiveness.”

After listening to these words, Qiu Yan felt that the cold air became stronger and stronger, almost penetrating through the skin and flesh, and penetrated deep into the organs and bones! But his face remained calm and he asked: "What do you want to teach me, dear brother?"

He heard some clues from the other party's words, and had a deeper understanding of his identity in this physical body.

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was another class among the nobility and common people, and that was the gentry. There were four main sources of "gentlemen", one of which was developed from the concubines and collateral lines of some noble families who established their own families.

This should be the case with Qiu Yan's body.

"If this is the case, then the world in front of you is by no means a simple illusion. These details are difficult to construct and perfect based on the memories of one or two people. I have never been exposed to many of the details just now."

The so-called construction of an illusion is not generated out of thin air. It must be based on the memory and knowledge of living beings, and gradually derive and promote it to unfold the illusory scene. The more detailed the illusion, the greater the memory and knowledge required. And the world in front of you, If it were an illusion, it would be difficult to support it with the memories of one or two people.

At this time, the young man said again: "Brother, the former chief agricultural officer was just dismissed from his post. Unexpectedly, he actually advised the king to cherish the power of the people. He said that the oversight of the rice administration was the king's fault, which angered the king. , This has led to a fatal disaster. You are asking a lot now to explore the details of the rice administration. If you are not careful, you may be harmed by villains. "

He was persuading tactfully, but as soon as he said these words, Qiu Yan suddenly froze, his soul trembled, rolling inward, and a series of memories ran through it——

"Yilidao, people's power, great agricultural minister, admonishment, scholar... the thoughts of a scholar!"

In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Qiu Yan's mind, dispelling all the fog!

"So that's it, that's it. This cold air that wraps around me is not a sin or a curse, but the thought of guilt, regret, and regret!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and updated novels. quick!)
