One Piece of Song Dynasty

Xu Wenchang said: "Tomatoes, zucchini, peanuts, and peppers have already produced fruit, and the others are still under study."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Well, tomatoes can also be promoted among farmers. Just keep the three seeds well."

Xu Wenchang cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord."

Liang Hongyu stepped forward and asked, "Official, what makes you so happy?"

Li Xin said: "This is a very happy thing. Madams and sisters, you should also take a look."

After seeing it, the three women were a little shocked. Liang Hongyu asked: "Guardian, is this true?"

Li Xin replied: "Of course this is true, otherwise why would I send people to go to such a long distance to retrieve the seeds of these crops, and at the cost of eighty lives?"

Yu Liyan asked: "Does that mean that no one will starve to death under my husband's rule in the future?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "No, I can only say that it will greatly alleviate this situation. Although there are high-yielding crops, we now plant more land and still rely on the weather. Bad weather or food pests and diseases may occur. Absolute harvest situation.”

Yu Liyan said: "So that's the case, but it's also very good. At least there won't be large-scale starvation to death. This is still very helpful for the stability of the country."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, but for the development of agriculture, this is just the beginning. When will we be able to farm land without relying on the weather? With more high-yielding crops, our agricultural development will be considered to have some achievements. So Xu Wenchang, your task is still very heavy, and the road to agricultural development is also long and arduous."

Xu Wenchang said: "Yes, lord, we will continue to develop agriculture unremittingly and never let down lord's expectations."

Li Xin asked again: "Have you started research on chemical fertilizers?"

Xu Wenchang shook his head and said: "Not yet."

Li Xin said: "You can jointly study this with people who study chemistry. Chemical fertilizers play a great role in the development of agriculture. You cannot underestimate it."

Li Jing interjected: "Brother, some of us who study chemistry have already begun to study the effects of chemical elements on crops."

Xu Wenchang said: "That's great. I will go and ask them personally for advice in a while. Thank you for letting me know."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, that's all for today. Liu, go and call Lu Wenbin and Liu Shuai. Today is a happy day, and it's time to let them all know about this exciting news. Happy news."

Liu Yi clasped his fists and said, "Yes, lord, come on down."

After getting the news, Lu Wenbin and Liu Fa quickly arrived at the city guard's mansion. Li Xin saw the two of them and said, "Wen Bin, Liu Shuai called you here today because he has some great news to tell you."

Liu Fa asked: "Lord, what's the good news?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "See for yourselves."

Both of them were shocked after reading it. Liu Fa asked: "My lord, is this true?"

Xu Wenchang said: "Liu Shuai, of course this is true. This was calculated personally by dozens of our colleagues who study agriculture."

Li Xin asked: "Wen Bin, now you should know how significant your voyage is."

Lu Wenbin wiped away his tears and said, "Yes, my lord, I understand. If the sacrificed colleagues see this result, their souls in heaven will definitely feel at ease."

Li Xin sighed: "Yes, you risked your lives to bring the seeds of these crops back. You will leave a mark on the history of our Han people. It is you who opened the door for us to solve the food problem. "

Lu Wenbin cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the compliment, my lord. We will definitely contribute more to the rise of the Han people, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Li Xin said: "Okay, today let us go to pay homage to those warriors who have sacrificed, tell them this good news, and let them know that their sacrifices were not in vain. They contributed to the re-rise of our Han Dynasty." Great achievement."

Everyone followed Li Xin out of the north gate of the city and across the bridge, heading to the already built cemetery. There was a small cemetery at the end of the cemetery. On the door were the four characters "Martyrs Cemetery" written in red, the ashes of the eighty martyrs who died on the voyage fleet. It was placed here.

Lu Wenbin said to the tombstones: "Brothers, the Lord has come to see you. Your efforts have not been in vain. The seeds you brought back have begun to work. We Han people will never encounter famine again in the future. These are all yours." Credit.”

Li Xin stepped forward and said: "Heroes, thank you for your efforts. Without your efforts, our food problem would not be solved. Don't worry, your family and children will be taken care of. Today is the result of your efforts." When the time comes, I will offer you a glass of fine wine, and your achievements will forever be recorded in history."

After that, Li Xin led everyone and poured a glass of wine on each tombstone, bowed three more times, and burned three sticks of incense before leaving.

When walking back, Li Xin called Lu Wenbin to his side and said, "Wenbin, the charts from your last voyage are still there."

Lu Wenbin replied: "My lord, I have always kept it with my subordinates."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, you have to keep this chart. If it comes in handy in the future, you can draw a few more for later use."

Lu Wenbin said: "Yes, lord, I understand."

Li Xin continued: "One more thing. A certain person built a naval academy in Jilong City to train naval talents. From the more than a hundred sailors who returned from the voyage, you selected the sailors with the most navigation experience. They go to the Naval Academy to be teachers and teach your sailing experience to more people. After all, we will still need a lot of naval talents in the future."

Lu Wenbin clasped his fists and said, "Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely select the sailors with the most navigation experience to be teachers at the Naval Academy."

Time flies, and winter soon enters. However, the winter on Xinghan Island is still as warm as ever. Everything on the island is still developing step by step. The end of the year is coming soon. Because Liang Hongyu is pregnant, Li Xin plans to spend the Spring Festival on Xinghan Island. , this is also Li Xin’s first time to spend the Spring Festival on Xinghan Island.

However, Li Xin is destined not to live in peace this Spring Festival, and the same is true for Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and others who are far away in Liao Kingdom.

Because in this winter, since the Jin Kingdom learned the true situation of the Liao Kingdom from Yelu Yujian, they once again launched an army to attack the Liao Kingdom. This time, the Liao Kingdom will not have any chance to breathe, and the Jin Kingdom will go all out. Take the Liao Kingdom.
