Chapter 798: Be More Greedy

Linyi country is backward, remote, and the climate is not good. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info In this era of extremely backward health care and epidemic prevention, if you don't fancy this place is the production area of Champa rice, and it is located in the tropics, Champa rice can be harvested here all year round and four seasons. If he farmed here for a year and harvested more grain than he had cultivated in the Central Plains for three or four years, Xia Hongsheng was not willing to take a second look at this place at all.

But Datang is too short of food. Because of the lack of food, the vast majority of the population of the Tang Dynasty had to be tied to the land and confined to agricultural cultivation, so that the productive forces could not be liberated.

For example, in order for 100 people to survive, at least 80 of them need to farm the land to be able to feed and drink for these 100 people. Then out of a hundred, eighty were tied to the land. There are only twenty people, and they can go to school, become officials, join the army, and do business...... To engage in all walks of life in society. Sometimes 80 people are not enough to farm the land, and among the 20 people who go to other industries, there must be more than a dozen people who are engaged in other industries while farming. This also makes it impossible for people in other industries to study their own industries.

In order to get more people involved in other social professions, it is necessary to reduce the number of people who farm the land. But if the number of people who cultivate the land is reduced, the food obtained will not be enough to feed these 100 people. Therefore, in order to reduce the number of people who farm, the first thing to ensure is that after reducing the number of people who farm, the grain produced will at least remain unchanged at the original level. If we want to reduce the population and keep food production unchanged, we can only increase food production. If 20 people grow enough food to feed 100 people, then 80 people can go on to other jobs.

In this way, the harm and risk caused by the phenomenon of land annexation are also reduced. Eighty portions of land were needed to feed these 100 people, but now only twenty portions of land are needed. Thus sixty portions of land were left vacant. The harm caused by land annexation is much smaller.

At present, the grain that can be eaten as a staple food is still far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Before the Tang Dynasty's spies went all the way north and then turned east, crossing the Pacific Ocean along the Bering Strait, which freezes in winter, and then continuing south, or the Tang Dynasty's sea ships went all the way west, rounding the Cape of Good Hope, arriving at Europa, and then continuing westward to discover the New World - before reaching the homeland of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other crops and vegetables, and bringing back the heavy crops and vegetables on it, all Xia Hongsheng could do was to use the caravan at sea, From all the countries that can be reached, look for those familiar food seeds that can be found everywhere in later generations, and bring them back to Datang to plant. At the same time, occupy as many tropical areas as possible and plant Champa rice, which can be harvested three or even four times a year, to increase the total amount of grain in Datang.

Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but sigh faintly - the university he went to in later generations was the best, and the most famous in the society was the agronomy major, especially the hybrid rice breeding, which has a good reputation, and the seeds bred are all over the Central Plains. But what I read was the Chinese department in the direction of teacher training.

Regret it!

It's useless to regret it, so I can only think of a way to get out of Lin Yiguo's grain first.

Isn't this the right time!

Those spies haven't heard from them for so long, and they are doing this. Now that the news has come back, it should be that this matter has been done.

As a result, Lin Yiguo seems to be about to face a political storm. On one side is the moral lord Fan Tou Li, and on the other side is the powerful minister Mahaman Dogada. Cranes and mussels compete, and fishermen profit.

"Virtuous nephew? Virtuous nephew? Seeing that Xia Hongsheng was silent and looked obviously distracted, Li Xiaogong pushed him and called: "Virtuous nephew!" ”

"Oh!" Xia Hongsheng woke up in shock, smiled apologetically at Li Xiaogong, and said, "The little nephew is thinking about Lin Yiguo's affairs. ”

"What are you going to do?" Li Xiaogong asked: "If Lin Yiguo is in chaos, it is indeed a good opportunity for Datang." But now they are facing a war with the Japanese state. In the war with the Wa Kingdom, it was necessary to beware of Baekje and Goguryeo, which were actually at war with the Three Kingdoms. How can you still be distracted to deal with Lin Yiguo? ”

"If you want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, you must take advantage of the internal fighting between the two parties and the civil strife in Linyi. If it waits a little, no matter which side wins, it will be a missed opportunity for Datang. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Xiaogong: "However, what my uncle said is also very true, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese State is imminent, and it is true that you can't be distracted." However, this does not mean that Datang cannot do anything. All we have to do is drag. Drag Fan Touli, and also drag Maha Manduogadu, let them come and go, no one can win anyone, no one can destroy anyone, and the stalemate will continue until the Tang Dynasty has cleaned up the Wa Kingdom. ”

"What does the virtuous nephew mean ......" Li Xiaogong rubbed his fingers and said, "Let the spies continue to provoke and provoke the two to fight." As the suzerain of Linyi State, the Tang Dynasty wants to usurp the throne, so it is natural to take care of it. You can send a little insight into the past to help Fan Touli destroy the rebellious ministers. At the same time, he also secretly sent spies, special combat teams and other personnel to come over to make suggestions for Mahamandaga. Even if it is said that Datang is in the light and dark, he wanders between the two, and whoever is weak will help him, so that the two will not win or lose. Until Datang freed his hand, he sent troops over in one fell swoop and cleaned up Mahaman Dolgadu! ”

"Exactly!" Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Yes, the little nephew is more greedy than the uncle." The little nephew felt that after the Tang Dynasty freed up his hand, the army could press the border, for example, 10,000 people could solve it, so we sent him 100,000 people over. After solving the Mahamanda Doga, we are not in a hurry to come back. Our army stayed, stayed in Linyi Country, and overthrew the Fan clan. Linyi originally belonged to the Han land, and Datang could take this opportunity to take it back, go to Linyi State, and place Linyi Prefecture, which belongs to Lingnan Road! What kind of place is this Linyi country, and its national strength is not as good as that of the Wa country. When the time came, the sailors went directly south, and a few bombs passed, and the most powerful elephant soldiers in the Linyi country could only flee desperately. The sailors and soldiers landed directly, and even if they destroyed their country, it would only be a matter of more than a month. ”

When Li Xiaogong heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he stared at Xia Hongsheng in surprise. When he was so old, he clapped his hands and shouted, "Good Xia Hongsheng!" Yin people come one by one, and the bad water in this stomach is not much better than Li Tao! Good! How you want to do it, this king will support you. This work of expanding the territory and opening up the territory is going to be decided by this king! ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled. Wa country, Lin Yi, this kind of small country is a small country under the hands of today's Tang Dynasty, what is it. Alas, it's a pity that he only has the name of a lieutenant general, but there are no generals under his hands, and the easy work of destroying the country can only be handed over.

Forget it, it's all good in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Xiaogong won't be able to swallow it alone if he wants to destroy the country, and the emperor is not blind.

After solving the Linyi Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom, recovering Liaodong and destroying Goguryeo is a matter under the nose. (To be continued.) )
