Heavens: I can hypnotize myself

Chapter 398: Food problem, unification!
Ministry of Industry and Agriculture.

A group of ministers were frowning.

"The nine-year compulsory tutorial promoted by the Holy One is indeed a great thing that benefits the country and the people! In the future, it will surely be famous throughout the ages and become an unprecedented holy king! The price that needs to be paid for doing so is a bit too high. ·····The imperial court cannot support it!"

"Nine-year compulsory education is actually nothing. It's nothing more than investment in infrastructure construction and basic resources. The most important thing is that all people practice martial arts... they can't afford to eat!"

Mr. Yang was grabbing his few hairs, feeling extremely worried. He recalled that not long ago, he had a full head of hair!
"Can't eat?"

The ministers on the side were shocked.

"Isn't this impossible? Don't all the major families in the country voluntarily contribute all their food? And I remember that the first thing the Holy Emperor did after he ascended the throne was to expand food production. I heard that this year's total food production, at least It’s three times as much as in previous years, how can we not have enough to eat?”

In the past, there would be a food shortage crisis, and in many places a large number of civilians would starve to death. This was mainly due to the impact of war and the major forces hoarding food.

Overall, there is actually no shortage of food. If we can ensure that it is not wasted, the country has enough food to supply the needs of [-] million people.

It’s the kind of meal that you can eat three times a day, and you’ll be completely full at every meal!

Of course, if you want to eat meat at every meal, that won't work.

Due to problems such as breeding conditions and breeding technology, meat production in ancient times was relatively low, and it was impossible to supply meat for so many people.

Now through the various pig, chicken, fish and other technologies provided by Xu Yi, meat production has begun to gradually increase, but after all, the time is still short and there is no way to achieve sufficient scale.

Based on the current national meat production, it is probably enough for the people of the country to eat one meal every other day.

But this is meat!

If it were just food and staple food, the current food combined should be enough to satisfy [-] million people!

It is only the second year of the Wu Dynasty. Even with the policy to encourage childbirth, due to time issues, the national population has not increased much, only about 8000 million at most.

Food that can feed 8000 million people, but now you say it can’t feed even [-] million people?
Master Yang sighed and said: "If you are just an ordinary person, these foods will naturally be completely sufficient, but you don't know how much those warriors can eat!"

"The food that was originally prepared for two years has been consumed in just over half a year!"

"If this continues, there will really be a nationwide food crisis within a few months!"

"is it so serious?"

The faces of other ministers all showed shock.

Although they knew that Wu Dynasty was short of food, they didn't know that the shortage was to such an extent!

A nationwide food crisis?

In the past, this was not something incomprehensible, it could even be said to be a normal thing.

Even if there are no natural or man-made disasters, the various exploitative behaviors of aristocratic families and major grain dealers can forcefully create a nationwide food crisis for you.

But nowadays, the land across the country has been nationalized, and the national food price has been determined by the imperial court. In theory, it is impossible to have the kind of food crisis that happened in the past.

This is not to say that the system customized by Xu Yi is perfect. In fact, if someone wants to interfere with it, no matter how perfect the system is, there will be problems.

The main reason why the ministers are not worried about things like the past happening is because of the absolute punishment system implemented by Xu Yi!

As long as you are found to be exploiting loopholes, you will be punished directly!
And it is an extremely severe and cruel punishment!

Regardless of whether you are a member of a noble family or a religious sect, once discovered, we will never tolerate it!

Under this severe punishment system, no one dares to risk the disapproval of the world and do things that violate laws and disciplines.

There is no one behind the scenes, and the country's food production is so abundant, how could a nationwide food crisis occur?
According to the country's current grain storage conditions, even if there is any natural or man-made disaster, as long as it does not directly affect the country, there should be no food problems.

But under such circumstances, just over half a year later, the Ministry of Industry and Agriculture began to worry about food issues.

After learning the specific data from Mr. Yang, all the ministers frowned.

It is Xu Yi's national policy to practice martial arts for all people. They cannot and do not have the courage to refute it. The only thing they can do now is to think carefully about how to solve this problem!

"How about we continue to expand production? As long as we double our food production, we should be able to barely meet the demand."

"It's easy to say, but where do people come from? Infrastructure construction and development are happening all over the country! There is a shortage of people everywhere! It is said that people are now ready to go to the grassland to arrest people!"

"Huh? This is also a way! If there are not enough people on the grassland, there are many small countries in the south! We can just go to them and arrest people!"

"This is a good idea. Anyway, the military power of our Wu Dynasty is invincible in the world. If the Suzaku Army is divided into ten or twenty thousand people, it will be enough to defeat the surrounding areas. By then, won't the population problem be solved directly? "

"You put it lightly! For our Wu Dynasty, there is indeed no problem in conquering these places, but what should be done about the subsequent management and governance issues? Our Wu Dynasty is newly established. Although we are vigorously cultivating management personnel, after all, the time is still short. There simply aren’t enough managers right now!”

"It doesn't matter if we don't have enough managers. We can use the method of using foreigners to conquer foreigners first! Wait until our managers are ready, and then we can change them."

"This method sounds okay, but if you do this, the follow-up guidance work will become difficult! It may even extend to issues such as later integration and education, which will be a huge trouble!"

"I think..."

A group of ministers are discussing various solutions here, but none of them are ideal.

Either it will cause various problems in the later stage, or it will be too late to support their follow-up.

Some ministers couldn't help but sigh.

"It would be great if there were those high-yielding crops that the Holy One said!"

"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn...these super-high-yielding grains can be used for cooking or as staple food. If these crops are available, even if the current scale is maintained, they can fully support the practice of martial arts by all the people. Needed!"

"It's a pity that these crops are thousands of miles away in the Americas. Not to mention the difficulty of finding them, even a round trip will take at least several months. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby!"

"According to the imperial court's plan, we won't be able to develop that piece of land until at least five years later!"

While all the ministers were sighing here.

Just hear a bang.

"what sound?"

"It seems like something fell from the sky!"

"Let's go! Let's go out and take a look!"

Everyone walked out of the hall.

What you see is a huge iron box, as big as a house.

Needless to say, everyone knew that the vibration just now was probably caused by this iron box.

"This······"

Before they could wonder why the iron box appeared here, those who were more discerning had already discovered someone above the box in advance.

"Holy!"

The ministers bowed and saluted.

That's right.

The person above the iron box is Xu Yi, the current emperor of the Wu Dynasty, known as Wu Zu and Wu Emperor!

"Yes, no courtesy." Xu Yi nodded and then raised his finger.

The iron door in front of the iron box opened with a bang.

Strange-looking, fruit-like things appeared in front of everyone.

"These, these are..."

Looking at this product that was completely different from the Central Plains, some people seemed to have thought of something, and their breathing became rapid.

"These are potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, take them and cultivate them!"

Xu Yi said.

He didn't collect these crops before because he thought it was too much trouble.

But now, for him who already has ten times the speed of sound, a round trip to America does not take more than two hours.

Coupled with the existence of super vision, it is not difficult to find a batch of potatoes and other crops!

When he was still on the north coast, he had already found the thing with just one glance.

Then he used the power of wind in the Eight Diagrams to collect these crops easily. The whole process took less than 3 minutes.

Even if you include the round trip, it's still less than two hours.

In terms of the change of the true energy in the body, all aspects of the true energy breaking through the limit are only doubled.

But if combined with breaking the limits of the physical body, the changes brought to Xu Yi will be too great!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he transformed directly from mortal to immortal!

Well.

For people in this world, Xu Yi now deserves to be called a true immortal.

Immortal, invincible, shattering the void...

There are also various methods that are close to magical powers that have evolved from the Tao of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Bagua. Only you can't imagine it, and there is almost nothing that Xu Yi can't do.

Even he himself couldn't confirm how much stronger Xu Yi was now compared to before he had no true energy to break through the limit.

Because this world simply cannot bear his power!

As long as he exerts a little force, the space of this world will be shattered. It is impossible to imagine how powerful he will be if he attacks with all his strength.

The great master who could barely fight with him before could now kill a large number of people with just one look.

It is already difficult to describe Xu Yi's current combat power in a pure realm.

Even though Xu Yi is still a master of Qiao Qiao on the surface, his terrifying combat power is beyond the imagination of normal practitioners!

Even those geniuses and monsters had to lower their proud heads when facing Xu Yi.

Maybe they can fight across levels, but it's just a Grandmaster Realm match against a Great Grandmaster Realm. No matter how strong they are, they can only win in battle.

What about Xu Yi?
One look can kill a large number of great masters!

This is completely the existence of two dimensions!

But it's reasonable to think about it.

Those are the four limits after all!

According to legend, if you can reach the four limits, you can reach half-step transcendence in the future.

Detachment means breaking the limits and breaking the shackles!
Break the limits of spiritual gas and break the shackles of time and space.

How many people have not been able to break through one limit when they started to transcend the tribulation.

Xu Yi has just reached the second level of cultivation, and has already broken two limits, and these are the two limits of the physical body and true energy that best reflect combat power.

Being able to possess today's terrifying combat power is naturally not something that cannot be understood.

under.

"It's really a potato! I've seen His Majesty's picture album, and it's exactly the same as the one on it - they're all so ugly!"

"It's indeed ugly! If it weren't for the Holy One, I would never have imagined that this kind of thing could be used as food!"

Modern potato varieties have been improved. Although they are not very good-looking, they are at least passable.

In this day and age, all potatoes are purely wild, so you can call them whatever you want!

If someone you don’t know sees it in the wild, no one will believe it even if you say it is poisonous.

Not only potatoes, but other sweet potatoes, corn and other crops also look weird and unbearable to look at.

Of course, if it looks ugly, it will be ugly, as long as the yield is high.

I haven't seen these ministers who said potatoes are ugly, all holding these potatoes, can't they be precious?
With these high-yielding crops, the food shortages they had worried about before suddenly disappeared.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! You have brought such holy objects to all peoples!"

······
Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to these ministers. After leaving the relevant seeds and planting methods, he left directly.

The remaining matters will naturally be resolved by them.

Not only the seeds of potatoes and other crops, but also the seeds of peppers, tomatoes and other crops will be brought back to the Central Plains in the coming time, hoping to enrich the taste buds of the Central Plains people.

Of course, the transplantation of rubber plants was also completed during this period.

Although there is no way to directly develop industry now, if you get more basic materials in advance, it will become much easier when you want to develop it in the future.

Because of the high-yield crop seeds brought back by Xu Yi, the last problem that restricted the development of the Wu Dynasty was perfectly solved.

The nine-year compulsory tutorial and national martial arts training are in full swing, and the comprehensive national strength of the entire Wu Dynasty is soaring at an unimaginable speed!

Three years of the Wu Dynasty.

"The Suzaku Legion obeys orders!"

"Let's go!"

One hundred thousand Suzaku troops went out to fight, sweeping through everything they passed.

In less than two months, the Wu Dynasty's territory quadrupled.

Then, immigration, management, education...

Five years of Wu Dynasty.

The Suzaku Legion crossed the ocean and came to the American continent.

Needless to say, the final result was that the Suzaku army completed the conquest of this land with absolutely invincible power.

At this point, the Wu Dynasty completed an unprecedented feat and achieved the unification of Water Blue Star!
