The Supreme Prosecutor of the Tang Dynasty

All the people in the world want nothing more than stability, food and clothing.

Whoever can satisfy their food and clothing, who can give them stability, they will support and love whomever. In this era, this is the eternal truth.

If an emperor cannot provide enough food, clothing and security, then this dynasty and this kingdom will not prosper for long.

Maybe one day, someone will rise up to resist and destroy this country.

The world is such a reality.

The land system has continued almost since the New Dynasty. Common people generally exist as tenants, and half or more of the food grown must be used as rent.’、‘Taxes', etc., are handed over to the landowners.

In this way, the food left by the people themselves was actually enough for the whole family to survive without starving to death.

This is still under the condition that the harvest is normal. Otherwise, if there is a locust plague, drought and other disasters, they will have to wait to die. Countless people will starve to death...

Some time ago, they almost hated Li Er to death, and they also hated Li Er. Chen Qiu who made this suggestion is dead.

But now, a mere 10% of the grain is several times more than their original 40% to 50%. How can they not be happy?

The joy and happiness of the people can soon be converted into love and sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty. This... is undoubtedly an excellent start!

……

A few days have passed, Qi Wang, the five surnames, and all the named heads of the noble clans in Shandong have all gathered in the Lu family at this moment

"Everyone……"

A quiet room was full of people sitting at this moment. The head of the Lu family looked around at everyone with an ugly expression.

"You should all know that the imperial court has launched super rice with extremely high yields, right?"

"What do you think about this?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked around and frowned. Then they each spoke.……

"Big trouble!"

"Indeed, this is undoubtedly a huge trouble for our family! If you don't pay attention, the boat will be destroyed and people will die!"

"The biggest reliance of our noble family is fertile land, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land! But now, this reliance can no longer be called reliance, and may even become a kind of existence that binds us.……"

"For our major noble families, this is a deadlock, an unprecedented deadlock!"

"That's right, if this deadlock cannot be broken, we nobles will most likely enter a severe winter, and no one may be able to break this severe winter!"

"We must find a way to solve this matter, otherwise, we, the nobles who have been passed down for thousands of years, may... be annihilated and cease to exist under the actions of Li Er and Chen Qiu!"

Everyone's expressions are ugly.

No one is a fool, let alone the mature heads of the family like them?

Everyone knows their own advantages and their own strength, and because of this, they have always been able to sit back and relax in the past..After all, according to common sense and logic, as long as they control fertile land and large areas of good farmland, their food should be the most productive! If they control the most productive food, are they afraid that they will not be able to gain the dependence of the people? How is it possible?

So for so many years, no matter whether it is the change of dynasties or something else, these aristocratic families have been passed down safely and have a high prestige. They have always been sitting back and watching the clouds rise and fall, and making trouble behind their backs..

But now, Li Er and Chen Qiu have broken this common sense, and even broken common sense, and directly played their cards without following the routine!

Fertile land? It’s amazing... But, your fertile land is a hammer?

I don’t need fertile land, I can still cultivate it. Grain is coming out, and it is several times higher than your output. How can you show me how awesome you are?

Who can still be awesome?

The head of the Lu family raised his hand:"Don't be impatient. In fact... during this period Since then, I have discussed in advance with the patriarch of the Qiwangji clan of the five surnames."

"This matter is indeed extremely detrimental to us noble families, but... it is not without a solution. Even whether this deadlock exists is still open to debate!"

"What is the meaning of this statement?"

"Yes, Brother Lu, we have clearly been forced into a desperate situation. If we do not break the deadlock, there will be no way out. Why did you say……"

"Please ask Brother Lu to clarify your doubts!"

"Since Brother Lu said this, Brother Lu naturally has his point."The patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan also stood up and smiled confidently.

The other five surnames and seven people, except the Cui family who had suffered a lot before, also stood up.

"We may not have a chance!"

"indeed! This seems to be an unsolvable deadlock, but... I wonder if you have ever thought about such a problem"

"How could normal rice have such a high yield? Can it even be grown in barren areas?"

"We all know that even on fertile land, fertilizer must be applied to increase crop yields!"

"That super rice clearly goes against common sense. There must be something wrong with it!"

"A few of us discussed it for a long time and felt that the most likely scenarios are nothing more than two.……"

"One, sorcery!"

"Although it is a bit absurd, this is the best explanation. Otherwise, how could this happen?"

"The second thing is... super rice. The yield is indeed very high, but it has huge disadvantages!"

"We can’t say for certain about this disadvantage, but it is likely to exist!"

"For example...the taste is extremely bad, difficult to eat, extremely unpalatable, etc.……"

The heads of several large noble clans, including Wu Xing Qi Wang, stood up and spoke, and their arguments were almost the same, which made other noble clans believe a lot in an instant.

"yes! If you say so, it is very likely that it is indeed the case!"

"That’s right, as we all know, things must be reversed when they go to extremes!"

"And nothing in the world is perfect!"

"Li Er and Chen Qiu didn't know where they got this super rice. It has such a high yield, so it must be lacking in other aspects!"

"For example...the texture and taste?"

"indeed! It is very possible that the millet produced by the so-called super rice is extremely unpalatable after being cooked into rice, but it is just for filling your stomach!"

"This is really possible, and the possibility is not low!"

After saying this, they all became energetic, and the sadness on their faces disappeared one after another.

"If this is the case, the deadlock we are worried about does not seem to exist?"

"yes! If the super rice rice has a very bad taste and is extremely unpalatable, our rice and rice can definitely go the high-end and upscale route!"

"In this case, our advantage still exists! It's just that it's much weaker than before!"

"Well, now we should find out as soon as possible, what exactly... Super Rice tastes like!"
