Summon players, rebuild Dawei

Due to the fall of the capital of Chu and the withdrawal of all the tribes of the Hu tribe, the battle to attack Chu progressed more rapidly and smoothly.

Especially after the reputation of the Wei army not killing prisoners spread, the city guards generally lost their will to fight, and often opened the city gates and surrendered before the artillery was launched. Won more than half of Lingzhou.

During this period, Jiang Shu has been staying in Wulie City to work, one is to keep abreast of the war situation at any time, and the other is to manage and restore the people's livelihood and economy in Lingzhou, and at the same time urge the promotion of hybrid rice planting.

It was too late for him to unlock the tenth level, and it was already past the rice planting season. Fortunately, he is now in the south, and he can barely catch up with the late rice planting.

Taking Zhuling County as the experimental site, Jiang Shu arranged for his officials to teach the local people scientific and reasonable rice planting methods, and completed the sowing in early August.

The people in Zhuling County were already short of food, and after another large-scale war, the food was looted by the retreating Hu army, and they almost fell into a famine.

Fortunately, after the Wei army settled in, they distributed relief food in time, and adopted the method of labor relief to provide job opportunities for the low-level civilians, so that the people would not starve to death.

But despite this, the farmers are still very distressed, worrying about where to get the grain for the next season. At this time, the government began to distribute good seeds, even if they are temporarily leased, and return ten times the amount of grain when harvesting. Willing to accept arrangements from above.

These days, the yield of rice per mu is no more than [-] catties, but it takes three to six catties of seeds to plant one mu of land. Therefore, the "rent" required by the government is actually very high in the eyes of the people, not to mention that they have to pay taxes.

But perhaps because they were used to the oppression during the Chu regime’s rule, even though the rent was so high, the farmers did not complain, especially after receiving the seeds distributed by the government, they found that the rice seeds were so bright and plump without any dust Or mixed with other kinds, they even feel that they have taken advantage of it.

In order to grow more food, the farmers in Zhuling County followed the instructions of the agricultural officials step by step for three months, and then witnessed the birth of a miracle with their own eyes.

Zhang Yuben was a casual official of the Juchuan County government. When the Wei army broke the city, he quickly survived because of surrender. Later, the newly transferred county magistrate reviewed his past experience and knew that he had been secretly helping under the oppression of the Hu tribe. The people at the bottom survived, so he was promoted to an official in charge of agriculture and mulberry in the county government household Cao.

On the day of Zhang Yu's inauguration, King Wei just issued a decree to teach the people to cultivate, so he obeyed the arrangement of his superiors and began to teach the villagers of Baiju Village to grow rice.

At first, he felt that it was unnecessary. The villagers grew up rolling around in the farmland. Does this still require special guidance?

However, after he personally cultivated rice seedlings with a germination rate as high as 90.00% according to the rice planting manual issued by his superiors, he began to feel that it was unusual.

He was born in a poor family and used to farm. Under normal circumstances, would the germination rate of rice seeds be so high?

Full of doubts, Zhang Yu deliberately counted the seedling raising conditions of the villagers in Baiju Village, and found that those who strictly followed the steps he taught had a high germination rate, while those who cut corners had a lower germination rate, but [-]% .

Obviously, the high germination rate of this batch of seeds is inseparable from the excellent quality of the seeds themselves, but the planting manual issued by the superior is indeed very effective.

After reaching this conclusion, Zhang Yu began to strictly follow the steps written in the manual to guide the public to plant rice, fertilize rationally, manage water scientifically, and always pay attention to pest control.

Although the process was full of difficulties and hardships, Zhang Yu was very immersed in it, observing the neat and healthy growth of the seedlings every day, feeling excited and joyful in his heart.

Seeing the rice in the field grow taller and stronger, almost every tiller can reach more than ten spikes, and some even reach fifteen spikes. Not only Zhang Yu was surprised, but the villagers were also shocked. They all speculated that the rice seeds given by the government were the seeds blessed by the God of Agriculture, otherwise how could such strong rice be grown!

When the rice began to mature, everyone was even more delighted and surprised to see the heavy grains on the tassels.

Farmers in Zhuling County chanted "The God of Agriculture has appeared", and it was passed on, and gradually it became that King Wei was the reincarnation of the God of Agriculture, who blessed the land of Zhuling County. Soon, even the surrounding Yi Similar rumors began to spread in Zhouzhou, Huaizhou, Cangzhou and other places.

The content of this rumor is really outrageous, but many people firmly believe it. There is no other reason. If the king of Wei was not the reincarnation of the god of agriculture, why could there be so many high-yield crops and novel fruits and vegetables in Miryang County that he initially ruled?

Now that he has come to Lingzhou, he has just settled in Wulie City. Fifteen ears of strange rice have been planted on the land of Zhuling County, which has been short of food for a long time. Isn't this the blessing of the God of Agriculture?

For a while, the people in the surrounding area had longing for King Wei, hoping that he could bless the place where they were, or simply ascend the throne as emperor, and bestow favors on the world!

Jiang Shu also heard a lot of folk rumors about herself, but she didn't pay much attention to them.

In the past, for his own safety, he had to find ways to make up stories to hide the origin of these crops, but now, instead, he needs to rely on them to gain momentum among the people. Emperor's imagination.

In Jiang Shu's view, although the rumors of the god of agriculture are not as legendary as those gifted visions, they are more convincing.

Just like an emperor who was born with dragon horns may not be able to govern the country well, but an emperor who is reincarnated from the God of Saturn will definitely be able to eliminate famine in the world.

So, it doesn't hurt to let this rumor spread more widely.

In the blink of an eye, it's late autumn, and the rice harvest in Zhuling County has entered the harvest season, and good news continues to emerge.

A certain farmer harvested [-] ears of rice, the average yield per mu of a certain village reached [-] jin, the total rice output of a certain county reached [-] shi, and the highest yield per mu in the county reached [-] jin...

As the baskets of rice came into the granary, the entire Zhuling County was immersed in the ecstasy of the harvest.

·

"My lord, this is the sixteen ears of rice donated by our county's Li Chonger!" County magistrate Liu flattered excitedly, "In the whole world, throughout the ages, this is the only sixteen ears of rice, Thanks to Lord Shang Deze, our county can achieve this miracle!"

Jiang Shu looked at the rice in the wooden box in front of him. The rice was golden and heavy, and it made people feel happy just looking at it.

He has heard about this rice plant for a long time. It is the only rice plant with [-] spikes in the whole county, and only one plant produces [-] grains of rice. It is named "Rice King" by the people.

Since it is the "Rice King", its symbolic meaning is naturally far greater than its practical significance. The farmer who grew this rice felt that he was not qualified to eat it, so he dedicated it to King Wei, who in his mind was the reincarnation of the god of agriculture.

To be honest, Jiang Shu was quite happy to receive this gift, although he didn't know what the rice was used for besides the dinner table.

Of course, Jiang Shu rewarded Liu Ran, magistrate of Juchuan County, and the farmer who planted this "Rice King" with some treasures as a reward.

During Liu Ran's gift, Lu Qing also listened to the whole process in the hall.

As soon as County Magistrate Liu left, he stood up and cupped his hands, and said in a cheerful tone: "My lord, this is a god-sent opportunity."

Jiang Shu ordered someone to put away the rice, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at him when he heard the words.

"Since the death of King Chu, the strength of the Chu Kingdom has been exhausted. Our army is strong and powerful, and the reputation of the artillery fire is powerful. The battle in the south is a foregone conclusion. Nowadays, it is widely rumored among the people that the Lord is the favor of the gods, and the world is at heart. The subordinates feel that, It's time for my lord to go north to Xunyang, and prepare to become emperor." Lu Qing finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at the young man sitting on the seat with burning eyes.

Jiang Shu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he tapped lightly on the table, but did not respond yet.

In fact, Lu Qing is not the first to make this suggestion.

As early as when hybrid rice first appeared in the world, Zhang Zifang from far away in the north wrote to him, saying that the "miracle" of rice yield of [-] catties per mu would surely bring him great fame, and that when the time and place were right and people would gather, it would be called The best opportunity for the emperor must not be missed.

Because of Zhang Zifang's reminder, he had been thinking about this for a long time, so he was not surprised to hear Lu Qing's proposal at this time.

In fact, it's time to think about it.

After his three months of governance, the situation in Lingzhou has basically stabilized, and the rest can be solved by his subordinates. The food problem that plagues the people will soon be alleviated after the emergence of hybrid rice.

As for the attack of the army, as Lu Qing said, the hearts of the Hu people have been dispersed, and no matter how difficult it is to gather, regaining the lost land is just around the corner, and it makes no difference whether he is here or not.

That being the case, it was time for him to go back to the Northern Territory and prepare for proclaiming himself emperor.

Before becoming emperor, the capital must be moved first, and hundreds of officials must be called to discuss the affairs of the new dynasty. There are still many troubles to come.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu said with a smile on his face: "What Lu Canjun said is reasonable, so let someone arrange it and set off to return to Xunzhou."
