Chapter 550 The Advent of Corn
The common people chopped down the corn stalks and took the corn home. I have to say that this corn looks full of grains and smells ten miles of fragrance. Chen Chong heard that the corn has been harvested, and brought the ministers to check and ask. :
“How many catties can you produce per mu of corn?”
“Your Majesty, speaking conservatively, one thousand catties per mu is no problem.
Chen Chong was shocked when he heard it! So many! It seems that what the Roman envoy said was true. The ministers also dropped their jaws, showing incredible eyes. Everyone was talking about it.
“Unexpectedly, the output of this thing is so high, it is really a blessing to the people!”
“Oh my God! It’s amazing to be able to yield a thousand catties per mu, too!”
Chen Chong was also very happy to hear that the ministers were full of praise for corn. At this time, the military division Xun You proposed:
“Your Majesty, since the corn output is so high, I propose to let the people plant all 03 corn next year, and other crops will be released temporarily. What do you think?”
Chen Chong thought for a while and said:
“Well, this is a good idea. This can solve the poverty of the people and enable them to live a prosperous life as soon as possible, but also fill the national treasury and make China stronger. Why not do it?”
After returning to the palace, Chen Chong promulgated a series of regulations and systems. First, let the people grow corn on a large scale from next year to achieve the prosperity of the country and the people. Second, the more someone planted, the greater the reward. Third, this year’s tax revenue is only 80%, and there will be preferential treatment next year.
The decree was quickly issued to various states and counties. As soon as the notice was published, the people were very excited. They lamented that they were in a prosperous age and met the Lord, and thanked the emperor for the majesty of the maize fever.
The common people looked at the yellow corn that they had grown so hard, and they were very happy. They got up early every day and kept peeling the corn kernels with their hands. They were full of energy. They felt happy and felt happier than the top champion.
That day, there was a farmer named Wang Yong from Luoyang. He also actively responded to the national policy. In order not to waste anything, he chopped all the corn stalks home. He found that the corn stalks can not only be used for cooking and heating, but also can be used to remove the leftovers. Put the leaves there for a long time.
It can be used as fertilizer, and the news quickly reached Chen Chong’s ears. Cheng Zhong was overjoyed and lamented that there are such talents among the people! Immediately summoned Wang Yong to enter the palace, and Luoyang Fu Yin went to receive him in person.
“Congratulations! The emperor has called you into the palace! Get ready to go!”
When Wang Yong heard this, he was shocked and turned pale, and asked:
“My lord, did Xiaomin do something wrong, and the emperor found out, so he wanted to summon me?”
Don’t worry, “Now! It’s a good thing, you are ready to go! Don’t let the emperor wait in a hurry!”
Wang Yong didn’t dare to neglect when he heard it, and quickly prepared some dry food and water to fill his hunger on the road. Luoyang was not far from many. Wang Yong rushed to the capital in two days. He came to the main hall and shivered when he saw the many ministers of civil and military affairs.
Wang Yong knelt down with a plop and said:
Your Majesty, “I don’t know what it’s so expensive to summon the grassroots? I didn’t steal it or snatch it. I’m a peasant on my duty. I also actively respond to your policy and grow corn conscientiously.”
Chen Chong personally helped Wang Yong up and said:
“Don’t panic. It is indeed related to your planting of corn to come here to find you. I heard that you invented corn stalks that can be used to burn fire and can also be used as fertilizer. Is there such a thing?”
“Your Majesty, it was because I made a mistake and the blind cat ran into a dead mouse. You don’t have to take it seriously?” Wang Yong broke out in a cold sweat.
“This is your cleverness. This unconscious action of yours has helped the people a lot! So I decided to appoint you as the general manager of the Luoyang Land Association, specifically responsible for the planting of Luoyang farmers, and you can report to the United Nations at any time. ”
“And your tax is exempt for three years, and I love you a hundred taels of silver as your reward, how about it?”
When Wang Yong heard this, he was immediately flattered. He hadn’t received such a good treatment in his entire life! It’s really a smoke from his ancestral grave! I quickly thanked Chen Chong:
Your Majesty, “You don’t let the grassroots know what to say about 540! I must plant corn well when I go back, and strive to give the country more grain next year.
Chen Chong smiled with relief. Wang Yong returned to his hometown. The villagers welcomed him and lamented that he was a good man and the news that Wang Yong was rewarded spread like wildfire. While benefiting from it, the common people wanted to imitate him. Can not be summoned by the emperor.
There is an aunt in the Guanzhong area whose surname is Wu. People call her “Mother Wu”. This mother Wu is a master at cooking. Since she has corn, she has tried every means to see if she can make corn into top-quality delicacies. She continues to persevere. Finally, a series of corn-related delicacies were finally made.
More than a dozen kinds of delicacies, including corn batter, corn nests, corn cakes, etc., were all made by her. She also taught the local people how to do it. Everyone followed suit. For a time, mother Wu’s name was well-known in Guanzhong.
The news reached Chen Chong’s ears. Chen Chong decided to meet the legend himself, and led the ministers to Mama Wu’s house.
