I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

A few days later, the Northern Expeditionary Army returned triumphantly, which meant that Dawu ended the feudal feudal system and reunited the feudal lords.

The empress Long Yan was very happy, and all the civil and military officials were very happy, and celebrated for three days.

Mo Rushuang and Marshal Guo also returned from Northern Hebei.

On the second day after King Jibei was captured, they hurried back to visit their master.

Firstly, he wanted to see his long-awaited master, secondly, he wanted to expose King Jibei's crimes to the master and the martial arts community in northern Hebei, and thirdly, he wanted to protect his master from being liquidated by the imperial court.

With Lin Beifan's guarantee, Iron Sword Sect was safe and sound during this liquidation.

However, when they returned, they still looked sad

"Young Master, the lives of the parents in my hometown are really miserable! Along the way, there are only ten rooms and nine empty ones. The population is very sparse, and many fertile fields are deserted! It has only been a year, but it has turned out like this!"

Shao Shuai Guo gritted his teeth:"It's all the damn King of Northern Hebei. For his own ambition and regardless of the people's lives, he has brought such disaster to my hometown. I really want to rush into the sky prison and kill him! Mo

Rushuang grabbed Lin Beifan's arm and said expectantly:"Sir, do you have a way to save my hometown?""

"Young Master, only you have the solution now!"Shao Shuai Guo said anxiously.

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"Don't worry, I'm ready. I will report to the court early tomorrow morning to grant amnesty to the world and revive Dawu! Jibei, I will definitely not forget it!

The two were overjoyed:"Thank you, sir!""

The next day, morning court.

The empress sat high in the Dragon Court and said majestically:"Now that Jiangnan, Wuxi, and Northern Hebei have been recovered, the imperial court is back in order, and it is powerful in all directions! However, these three places have been greatly harmed by the three rebel kings. The economy is in decline, the people are in dire straits, and everything is in ruins waiting to be revitalized! Dear friends, do you have any good advice?"

As the prime minister, Lin Beifan did his duty and said:"Your Majesty, after the great chaos, there must be great order, so that the world can be at peace! This is the law of governance and peace of the people drafted by the minister. Please take a look at it!

The empress said anxiously:"Bring it over quickly!""

The empress opened it and took a look. It was densely written with words.

The main policies are as follows.

The first is light corvee and low tax.

As long as you go to Jiangnan, Wuxi, and Northern Hebei to open up wasteland and farm, you will be tax-free in the first year and reduced in the second year. Half taxation, with only 3/4 of the tax collected in the third year, reducing the burden on the people. The second is to return labor to farmers. It turned out that the three rebel kings recruited a lot of young labor in order to seek the throne and usurp the throne. Now that the civil war is over, according to them The choice is to let them return to their hometowns to farm. At the same time, encourage people who have been lost to other places to return to their hometowns to farm.

The third is to encourage childbirth.

The more children you have, the more people will be exempted from labor

……

In fact, this is the way to recuperate and recuperate.

It was Lin Beifan who combined the experience of previous dynasties and generations and based on Dawu's situation to write a comprehensive method.

After reading it, the empress was very satisfied:"Aiqing, this method is good, very perfect, and very specific! Dear friends, take a look at it. If there are no problems, just implement it according to this method!" After hundreds of officials circulated it, Qian Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, Shen stood up and said:"The Prime Minister's method is indeed very perfect, and the ministers have no objections! It's just that the Prime Minister proposed in the article that Dawu should be revitalized within three years. Is it a bit fanciful?"

"The land in the south of the Yangtze River still has a foundation. After farming and production are encouraged, as long as the weather is not bad, there will definitely be a good harvest in the coming year! Within three years, we should be able to recover 80% to 90%!"

"However, Wuxi and Northern Hebei are very difficult!"

"First of all, one of the two places is dry and has little rain, and the other is freezing cold. Farming is not easy! Nowadays, the two rebel kings have been causing trouble for many years, resulting in serious population loss, desolate fields, and poor food harvests!"

"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to restore these two places to their original state within three years! Even if he is given 10 years, he may not be able to do it!

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"What Mr. Qian said is absolutely true!" But when Wei Chen proposed this method, he must have gone through textual research and argumentation! Qian Yuanshen humbly asked for advice:"

Please Prime Minister, please give me some advice!""

"First of all, Mr. Qian, all your judgments are based on past experiences! But today is different from the past. Our Dawu is no longer the Dawu we used to be! Lin

Beifan said confidently:"First, we have the magic weapon cement, which can quickly build new water conservancy facilities, protect farmland and farmers, and promote increased grain production and income!" Qian

Yuanshen nodded:"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. This artifact can shorten the time by two years!"

Lin Beifan added:"Now that Dawu is unified, the river system within the territory is completely connected and extends in all directions!" We have hovercrafts, a water weapon that can be transported quickly within various places and can promote business development, as well as the flow of people and materials!

Qian Yuanshen nodded again:"This artifact can shorten the time by another two years!"

Lin Beifan continued:"Since this year, our capital has been experiencing good weather and a bumper harvest of food!" Coupled with the supplies obtained from Da Yue and Da Xia, our court has sufficient food and supplies!"

"With the food from our court, we can temporarily feed the poor farmers in the three regions and let them grow more food! In this way, there will be less population damage and more people growing food, so food production will inevitably increase! Qian

Yuanshen nodded again:"This move can shorten the time by another year, but there are still 5 years left!""

"And the last point is also crucial! Lin

Beifan cupped his hands and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest is already here, and the hybrid rice planted by Weichen has also had a good harvest!" This hybrid rice is drought and cold tolerant and can adapt to more complex environments! As long as this rice is used to grow grain, the national grain production will definitely increase by 40% to 50%! The food problems in Wuxi and Northern Hebei will also be solved!"

"Hybrid rice!!!"

The empress is no longer calm, and all the officials are no longer calm!

Since last year, Lin Beifan has been talking about planting hybrid rice.

He also promised that as long as hybrid rice is promoted nationwide, grain production will increase by 40 to 50%, solving the problem of feeding tens of millions!

Originally, everyone didn't take it to heart!

After all, this kind of thing is too magical, so magical that it's hard to imagine!

Unexpectedly, in less than two years, he really did it!

The empress breathed quickly:"Ai Qing, Have you really developed hybrid rice that increases yield and income?

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said,"How dare you deceive Your Majesty about such a thing?" The empress became even more anxious:"

Where is the hybrid rice? Let me take a look!""

"Please Your Majesty and all the officials move to the fields!"

Half an hour later, Lin Beifan took the Empress and the officials out of the city and came to his own land.

This is the fertile land that the Empress rewarded him. It now has thousands of acres, all connected together, and it is very vast.

Lin Beifan is now It can also be regarded as the landlord class.

It is autumn now, the grain is ripe, and everyone is busy harvesting grain.

However, Lin Beifan’s grain has not been harvested.

"Your Majesty, please see, this area is all hybrid rice!" Lin Beifan pointed to his fertile land and said proudly.

The empress and the officials were shocked:"This……"

Qian Yuanshen, the Minister of Household Affairs, frowned:"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please forgive my humble eyesight. Is this really hybrid rice? It does look more lush, but it is not much different from other rice!" The

Empress also frowned. Eyebrow:"Is this really hybrid rice? There is not much difference in yield.……"

Everyone else nodded.

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"Your Majesty does not know, this is indeed hybrid rice! This is the mother plant of the hybrid, no different from other rice! However, as long as his rice is planted, the yield and income will definitely increase in the coming year!"

"If you don’t believe it, I will take you to another place to see it, and then you will understand!"

Lin Beifan led everyone to another place.

Rice is also grown there, with less than two or three acres of land, but the rice grown is much taller than the surrounding rice. It is almost the size of an adult. Height.

Moreover, the ears of rice growing out of it were bigger, bigger, and fuller, like little brooms.

The empress and officials were shocked:"This rice……"

Lin Beifan said very excitedly:"This is real hybrid rice! Last year, Weichen planted a batch of hybrid rice in the Imperial College, just like what we saw before! We saved the seeds during the autumn harvest last year, and planted them here every spring this year. Now we finally It's taking shape, and a good harvest is in sight! Your Majesty, please take a look, is this rice big?" The

Empress said excitedly:"Big!"

Lin Baifan asked:"Is this rice stalk high?"

The Empress said excitedly:"High!"

Lin Beifan asked again."Aren't these rice ears beautiful?"

The empress was still excited:"Beautiful!"

Lin Beifan asked again:"If this rice is promoted nationwide, can it solve the food problem?"

The empress nodded affirmatively:"Yes! It can certainly be done!"

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"My lords, what do you think?"

All the officials were excited.

"Good rice! What a good rice!"

"I have never seen such good rice in my life. It grows so tall, so strong, and so beautiful!"

"Once it is promoted nationwide, it will definitely solve the problemTens of millions of people have a feeding problem!"

"The problems in Wuxi and Northern Hebei have also been solved!"

"With this magical rice, we, Dawu, will definitely stabilize our country! God bless Dawu!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

……

"Ha ha……"The empress laughed.

With these tall, strong and beautiful rice plants, how could her power be unstable and unhappy?

The mass production has increased by 40% to 50%, and it can also be grown in arid and cold areas, solving the feeding problem of tens of millions of people across the country. It is simply a super food that can stabilize the country!

This thing is more valuable than gold, so you must watch it!

The empress immediately issued an order:"Immediately send heavy troops to guard this area of ​​hybrid rice. It is not allowed to be damaged or exposed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed! In addition, the name of the hybrid rice is a bit ugly, so let's call it Taiping Rice, which means peace in the world!"

"Your majesty is wise!"All the officials said in unison.
