Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss

Chapter 68: Counted by the Sky Curtain 9

"It was also this experience that made Qin Suxing give up trying to please his grandmother to gain family affection, and instead began to research high-yield grain varieties, cultivating rice that yielded 1,000 kilograms per mu.

This is a very remarkable discovery. Since ancient times, the yield of rice per mu has been no more than 200 kilograms, and the highest has not exceeded 300 kilograms. Even after Champa rice was introduced, the yield per mu was no more than 500 kilograms.

The first benefit of having rice that produces 1,000 kilograms per mu is that even if the people's taxes are increased several times from the original basis, the remaining grain will be several times more than before, so people will not starve to death and can live a good life.

What's more, Emperor Wen of Zhao Zesheng was a monarch who cared about the people. After obtaining high-yield grain seeds, he did not levy more taxes on the people. He even set a rule that when leasing land from the people, the rent could not exceed 30%.

Because of the high yield of grain, although this rule made the powerful landlords dissatisfied, they did not resist too much, because even collecting 30% rent would earn more than the previous 40% or 50% rent.

From then on, the people were able to go from not having enough to eat to having enough to eat.

When Qin Suxing first started researching high-yield grain varieties, he actually didn't think about getting any benefits from the grain varieties.

She just wanted to distribute this high-yield and high-quality variety to the people in the village for planting, and if there were any leftovers, she could distribute them to the people outside.

In ancient times, there were empress dowagers who served as regents, but there was no precedent for women to serve as officials. Naturally, Qin Suxing did not think of using her grain crops to seek credit from the emperor and become an official at the beginning.

But for a talented person, her brilliance cannot be stopped. Among the farmers, someone accidentally let out the news that Qin Suxing had cultivated high-yield grain varieties, and let outsiders know about it.

In that era when people had to dig for food in the fields, when the people heard the news, they flocked to Qin Suxing's farm almost crazily, wanting to see the rice that produced a thousand kilograms per acre.

This matter quickly became a big deal and even the government was alarmed. It happened that Emperor Wen Zhao Zesheng liked to travel incognito and he happened to hear the news.

Zhao Zesheng was so excited that he went directly to the farm to check the authenticity of the rice yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu. He happened to meet Su Xing who was trying to pacify the excited people and allowed some people to enter the farm to see the rice.

Zhao Zesheng followed him in. According to historical records, when Emperor Wen Zhao Zesheng saw the rice yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, he danced with excitement and tears in his eyes. He appointed Qin Suxing as the Minister of Agriculture on the spot.

At that time, many old-fashioned conservatives opposed it and even attacked Qin Suxing because she was a woman, but Zhao Zesheng fought them back with just one sentence.

If you can research and develop a grain yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu for me, I will not only appoint you as an official, but also confer you a title of nobility. This sentence silenced all the men who opposed it. "

The tone of the female voice in Tianmu suddenly became sarcastic: "If a man can produce 1,000 kilograms of grain per mu, let alone a mere position of Minister of Agriculture, they would not think it was too much even if he was made a marquis.

But when this achievement was made by a woman like Qin Suxing, it was so ridiculous that she had to face difficulties even when she entered the officialdom and served in the same court with them for such a huge achievement. "

The ridicule of the Sky Goddess made many men who secretly thought that women should not be officials blush with shame and anger. They did not dare to refute and offend the goddess, but they were not convinced in their hearts.

A scholar said in disbelief: "That's right. How can a woman not observe her husband's code of conduct and show her face in public? Since she has made contributions, she should let the man in her family become an official. It's not right for her to enter the officialdom. Such a woman should be put in a pig cage."

After he finished saying this, not only did the women around him glare at him, some men also looked at him as if he were a fool, and some even stayed away, fearing that if they got close to him they would be implicated and get into trouble.

Some true gentlemen could not help but rebuke him: "A man should be upright and make achievements on his own. What kind of achievement is it to usurp the credit of his wife and daughter?"

These men who rebuked and avoided Qin Suxing might not necessarily think that it was right for a woman to do so, but they viewed Qin Suxing differently from other women.

Qin Suxing is not an ordinary woman. She can break the rules and have rights, but other women should still follow the three obediences and four virtues. Their special treatment is only for Qin Suxing.

The female voice in the sky continued: "After entering the court, Qin Suxing was very grateful for Emperor Wen's appreciation and was very actively preparing to make some achievements to repay the emperor for his kindness to her."

The female voice in the sky rose again: "But at this moment, the Qin family suddenly appeared again, and this time it was the Bai family who wanted to attack Qin Suxing.

Bai had often bullied Qin Suxing. She was petty-minded and thought that Qin Suxing would not let her go if he gained power, so she asked Qin Bing to find the old lady and asked her to cooperate with her to trick Qin Suxing back.

On the surface, she wanted to reconcile with Qin Suxing, but in fact, Bai poisoned the banquet and asked the old lady to serve the poison to Qin Suxing.

Bai knew that Qin Suxing was very wary of both her and Qin Bangyan, and only the old lady who was trusted by Qin Suxing could ensure that Qin Suxing would drink the poison.

As Bai expected, when the old lady, his grandmother, spoke, the alert Qin Suxing was fooled. He returned to the Qin family and drank the poison given by his own grandmother.

Fortunately, the Qin family didn't know that Qin Suxing's master had also taught Qin Suxing martial arts, so after Qin Suxing discovered that he was poisoned, he fled from the Qin Mansion at all costs.

Qin Suxing was also lucky. After escaping from the Qin Mansion, she was discovered by Xiao Moyan, the leader of the Dragon Guards, who called the imperial physician to save her in time, thus saving her life.

It was also after this that Qin Suxing completely gave up all expectations of his relatives, and ruthlessly sued his father Qin Bangyan for murdering his wife to avenge his mother.

Qin Suxing was a person who was very strict with herself. During her tenure as prime minister, she never sought any personal gain for herself. Her food, clothing, and even a small dish were all given by the emperor himself.

Qin Suxing never got married in her life and put all her energy into governing the country. She had no offspring and the whole country mourned her death. Her family had no private property except the expensive utensils rewarded by the emperor.

For such a noble man, the only thing he did in his life that was criticized was to insist on holding his father's family accountable.

This was criticized at the time, but in the eyes of us modern people, she was just avenging her mother, what was wrong with that!

Well, today's video ends here. In the next video, we will tell in detail about the political experience of Qin Suxing, the legendary female prime minister, and what she has done to benefit the country and the people. "

As the female voice ended, the sky screen disappeared, and the originally pitch-black sky screen turned translucent and hung in the air.

The sky fell silent. Under the sky, from the royal nobles to the common people, no one was quiet. Everyone was talking.

The people's attitude is very simple. Qin Suxing is their hope. Then Qin Bingyan, Bai Shi, and the old lady actually wanted to kill Qin Suxing. They must be punished!
