Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Your Majesty."

"Before this famine, it was quite difficult for us to move money and food everywhere in the Tang Dynasty."

"At best, it's barely reaching a balance between supply and demand."

"Especially after entering the summer, it is even more difficult."

"The area affected by this locust plague is much larger than that of the drought in previous years."

"So many refugees have come down, just to be exempted from this year's tax and rely on the little food raised."

"It's a drop in the bucket."

"The only thing we can really count on now is Li Qiu's Youzhou and other places, and they must not be affected by the locust plague."

"Although this kid hides his clumsiness every year."

"But according to my estimation, if they continue to have a good harvest."

"It will definitely solve this year's urgent need."

"Otherwise, things will be really difficult."

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Wang Gui also frowned slightly.

"So far, no urgent report from Youzhou has been received."

"Actually, what's the situation in Youzhou? We'll see the situation in Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Fuzhou."

"If even the land of Jingxiang, where the disaster is so serious, is safe and sound."

"Then Youzhou and other places will be absolutely fine."

Although that's what I said, but on this road.

After witnessing such a serious disaster, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui and others also felt more and more uncertain.

And those accompanying ministers who didn't believe in Jingzhou's memorial at first firmly believed that it was impossible.

When Li Shimin and his party just arrived in Jingzhou.

Samurai Xun, Duan Lun, Song You and others were naturally waiting here early.

After saluting, Li Shimin also said eagerly to the warrior: "There are many etiquettes, and everything is kept simple."

"It can be said that I have been shocking along the way."

"Just like any banquet, I will skip it."

"My trip this time is not for fun."

"Just to solve the current hidden danger of locust plague."

"If it's true what you said in the notebook, I will reward you a lot."

After understanding the meaning of Li Shimin and others.

The samurai Xun did not dare to delay.

Personally accompanied Li Shimin to inspect in Jingzhou.

They first looked at fields where no new seeds had been planted.

Same as everywhere else.

Severely affected by the locust plague, no crops were harvested.

The expressions of the people along the way were more depressed than in other places.

Naturally, this phenomenon could not escape the eyes of Li Shimin and others.

Afterwards, they came to the farmland where the Ministry of Civil Affairs was experimenting.

Good guy, when everyone arrived here, they immediately felt a huge visual contrast.

The expressions are all lifted.

Elsewhere, it's a bare patch.

Terrible.

But here, looking around, everything is golden in early autumn.

The wind blows the wheat waves like a golden ocean.

It is pleasing to the eye.

The farmland here has not been affected by the locust plague.

On the contrary, the grain on each seedling is so full.

The planting density is also several times that of traditional farmland.

If you hadn't seen this scene with your own eyes, no one would believe it!

Before and after the fast horse reached the farmland, Li Shimin got off his horse impatiently.

He walked quickly to the front, holding up the ears of rice with his hands and kept watching carefully.

The expression on his face gradually bloomed like a flower.

Others are similar to Li Shimin.

Even if it is the real scene in front of them, they have seen and touched it with their own hands.

But there was still a sense of trance.

"Samurai Xun, Duan Lun, Song You!"

"Could it be that the new seeds planted by your Ministry of Civil Affairs in these three states are all in such a scene?"

"You Youzhou and other thirteen states have been planting this kind of seeds for the past few years??"

Listen to Li Shimin's question.

Everyone also focused their attention on Song You.

After all, Song You has always been in Youzhou.

Know the most about the situation there.

It can also best answer Li Shimin's question.

At this time, Song You bowed and said, "Return to Your Majesty."

"It's strange to say."

"This locust plague has limited impact on the farmland planted by our Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"Those locusts don't seem to be very interested in our crops."

"We have planted these seeds in Youzhou and other thirteen states for several years."

"But because there has never been a locust plague."

"So this is the first time I have seen this phenomenon in front of me."

Chapter 822 I Have To Promise

In fact, when Li Qiu chose the seeds from the system mall.

It was also a mistake.

He felt that the variety with complete functions and many advantages, so he chose it.

In the era of scientific and technological progress in later generations, the rice and wheat planted have been strictly screened.

Comprehensive varieties bred.

It has a series of advantages such as high yield, lodging resistance and pest control.

Such a seed was suddenly taken to more than 600 BC.

It definitely has the miraculous effect of reducing dimensionality.

The current locust plague is still more than 1000 years behind the evolutionary history of later generations.

When encountering such a crop suddenly, it is natural to be very disgusted.

Dodged away.

At this time, look at the scene in front of you.

Changsun Wuji sighed and regretted again and again.

"Ugh."

"You must know that the seeds Li Qiu and the others got are so amazing."

"At the beginning, I had to fight against everyone's opinions on everything I said, and I wished that all the farmland would be planted with such crops."

"And even if there is no locust plague."

"Just look at the full ears of rice and the dense seedlings."

"I'm afraid that the yield per mu will be more than five times?"

Li Shimin also snorted angrily.

"In the past, when there was enough food in the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, it could save hundreds of thousands of refugees and the supply and demand of the frontline army."

"I was quite surprised in my heart."

"With the richness of the land in the thirteen prefectures of Youzhou, no matter what, it can't compare with Guanlong and Luoyang."

"No matter how much they build water conservancy and reclaim farmland."

"It's absolutely impossible to achieve such an effect."

"That Youzhou and other places where the population is sparsely populated and the land is barren."

"Now, only a few years have passed, and it has become the biggest granary in my Tang Dynasty."

"There must be something strange about it."

"It wasn't until I saw these crops with my own eyes that I finally realized it."

"If this kind of seed had been planted here a few years earlier, I'm afraid that my Tang Dynasty would not have been worried about food shortage every year."

"Let's go, let's go to other places and take a look."

Then, accompanied by everyone.

Li Shimin and his party traveled to several areas in a mighty and random manner.

Everywhere is the same scene.

Farmland grains of those primordial seeds fail.

The crop situation in every plot of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' cooperative experiment is excellent.

And in the process, they also saw some rather special phenomena.

That is the people who did not listen to the persuasion of the state government and the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Looking at their own bare farmland, they all beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting endlessly.

And those people who listened to the persuasion of the state government and planted new seeds.

He built a shack directly on his own field.

Watching by the side day and night.

Especially after seeing his neighbors and their family's farmland with no crops.

They were both afraid and extremely grateful.

When being questioned by Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui and others.

What they said probably meant the same thing.

"These seeds that Lord Li Qiu sent us are blessed by the gods and Buddhas in the sky."

"Even those locusts are walking around our farmland."

"We are thanks to the persuasion of Master Du Wu this year."
