Chapter 508: The King Leads the Way
So it can be simply said that this is the field planted by the emperor himself, but in fact this is just a formality, and only in the Qing Dynasty, those emperors really farmed the field themselves, and then ate it by themselves .
Qin Shuo was also annoyed to death by this formalism. There were all kinds of professions in this world, and the emperor's profession was to be nice to the people, not engage in these formalisms.
If you want to really develop agriculture, you can reduce or exempt taxes, which is not known to be much better than the current situation.
Qin Shuo also wanted to laugh. Generally speaking, if the emperor wants to do this kind of thing, it's okay, but such a small king, if he has nothing to do, he is doing something.
But the only advantage is that it gives Qin Shuo a chance to find Champa Rice, otherwise Qin Shuo might not be able to find it.
This Jitian is actually not that big, and the distance is not far, it is next to the imperial garden, so I found this place very quickly.
Jitian is the size of one-third of an acre of land, but this one-third of an acre of land is really exclusive to the monarch.
In the center of Jitian, you can also see a lot of yellow and orange rice. It seems that it has matured now. After all, the time has come to autumn, and this year is coming soon.
passed.
In fact, these rices are better than ordinary Dahan's rice in terms of the number of fruits and the aroma they emit.
"This is Jitian, and the rice in it, general, can you see if it is the Champa rice you mentioned?"
At this time, the king's posture is also a little humble, so there is no way to do it. Under the power, this is actually a very normal thing.
Perhaps when Qin Shuo captured him, he was no longer a king, but an ordinary citizen, and all the power in his hands was taken back.
The king also saw all these things very thoroughly, so he didn't care about losing face, and his own life was still the most important thing.
Although Qin Shuo had no intention of killing him at all, he still had some worries. What if Qin Shuo got in the mood, what if he got suspicious.
So he is acting more obedient now. In the future, he will not have so many things. This is also a very normal thought.
Qin Shuo looked at the Champa rice in front of him, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. These can greatly improve the current food situation of Dahan.
But unlike sweet potatoes, Qin Shuo is not going to give up these things.
I have worked so hard to get it, if I make a wedding dress for someone else, I really can't say it.
Food itself is a very precious strategic resource, and this strategic resource must not be given up, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
I can use this kind of rice to greatly alleviate the food situation in my own territory, but it is only the situation in my own territory.
If I really have a bold idea in the future and unify the whole big man, then wouldn't these rice become the people of the whole big man?
"My lord, are these things really important to us? Isn't this just ordinary rice?"
At this time, Xi Zhicai also had some doubts and asked.
"So, as a scholar, you can't work all over the body, and you can't distinguish the five grains. The output of this rice is twice as much as that of our Dahan rice. As for what kind of concept this is, I believe you should be clear about it. right?"
Qin Shuo also shook his head and said.
"Twice as much? Is that really the case?"
Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up when he heard these words, as if he wanted to shine.
"Of course, otherwise, would I lie to you? So this is also a very valuable strategic resource."
Qin Shuo nodded and spoke.
Not only Xi Zhicai's face was full of surprise, but the faces of everyone beside him were also full of excitement. They also understood the meaning of this thing. As long as it can be used well, then this is a magic weapon.
"Now we should go to work. Next, Cheng Yaojin, you should take good care of these rice, and then protect every mature grain. You can't lose a single grain."
Qin Shuo spoke, and Cheng Yaojin on the side also nodded.
As a farmer's child, he naturally knows what this concept is. Although there is already such a magic weapon as sweet potatoes in the territory, this sweet potato cannot be eaten in large quantities.
In the past, some farmers, even if they worked hard for a whole year, were able to manage their daily consumption in the end, and it would be good enough not to starve to death.
Especially when it comes to famine years, it is almost to the extent of starvation, and there are some things that people feel unbearable.
Looking at these rice now, Cheng Yaojin even felt like crying, these are actually some human lives.
"The mountain where they are hiding now should be called the Wugong Mountain. Maybe the founding stone tablet is also in there. I heard the old man say it before."
this
At that time, the king also spoke, expressing his thoughts.
"Wugong Mountain? Are you familiar with the terrain in that mountain? Now I guess all those things are on them, so don't blame me for killing them quickly."
After Qin Shuo nodded, he spoke, and took a deep look at the king. At this moment, the king felt a chill in his heart.
This majestic king has now become a leading party. In fact, it is still a bit funny to say it.
But there is no way to do this. This is the reason why a country is weak. If this Champa country can really be stronger, this situation will not happen.
If a weak country has no diplomacy, it will only have to be bullied by others. A writer once said that we don't want the rise of a big country, as long as the small people are rich.
But if there is no rise of great powers, it is impossible to talk about the freedom of ordinary people. The country and individuals are closely connected as a group, and there is no way to separate them.
"Naturally, there are many people here who are very familiar with the place. After a while, I will bring them over to meet the general, but they are very familiar with Chinese, and there should be only my daughter. gone."
The king also nodded, and after glancing at Qin Shuo, he also spoke ambiguously.
