Seeing the appearance of the little princess, Chong Yanling and Yang Ling'er didn't care about her identity as princesses, and still cast a fierce and resentful gaze at her.

On the contrary, Liu Xing smiled indifferently, pursed his lips and said: "Okay, okay, it's me who forgot that I don't have half of the self-defense ability now, and I didn't wait to find a stable place before you fell, so it's no wonder you." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Xing took out the hand that was held by Chong Yanling, beckoned to Zhao Jinzhu and said, "Come on, follow my brother to see why the farmer has scooped up all the water in the field." ”

Hearing and seeing this situation, Zhao Jinzhu couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and secretly thought: Brother Liu is really good to me, I almost let him fall into the water, but he treated me so disapprovingly. Such a person who can treat him well and pose a threat, no matter who sits on the dragon chair in the future, I will ensure that he is safe because of love, affection, and friendship......

Thinking about this in his heart, Zhao Jinzhu raised his steps and quickly ran to Liu Xing's side.

As soon as she gained a firm foothold, Liu Xing put the hand he had withdrawn from Chong Yanling's hand on her weak shoulder.

When he started and walked forward, Liu Xing said with a smile: "I don't blame you, but the princess must think twice before acting in the future, and she must not be so reckless." You have to remember that you are a princess, and you will be the daughter of my Great Song Dynasty in the future. One wrong step may have a great negative impact on the people of the world and the society of the imperial court, you know? ”

Nodding heavily, Zhao Jinzhu looked up at Liu Xing with admiration on his face and said: "Brother Liu's teachings are kept in mind, and I will definitely learn from Brother in the future, you try to think twice and act cautiously, and you will never dare to be reckless again." ”

"You! If you got my senior brother into the water, I had an accident. I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to make amends. Be sure to do what you say. "After all, it's her junior sister. When Zhao Jinzhu finished speaking, Yang Ling'er on the other side couldn't help but teach her a lesson.

Zhao Jinzhu heard Senior Sister's lesson, sneered, scratched his head and said, "Senior Sister, the slave family knows that it is wrong, so don't you follow Brother Liu to teach me again!" You are my senior sister, the closest person to me besides my master and my father and brother! ”

"Taifu, are you going to go to the farmland and ask why the peasants are getting the water out of the field?"

Zhao Jinzhu's words fell this time, and Liang Xing and Lei Zhenyi, who were running quickly, caught up with the four of them. Liang Xing opened his mouth first and asked Liu Xing behind him.

didn't look back, just nodded, Liu Xing said: "As far as I know, Shandong should be a place where Bailiang millet and rice are mixed. Growing millet requires dry land, but if you want to grow rice, you need paddy fields. So I wondered why the family wanted to change the land that could be used as paddy fields back to the dry fields where white sorghum was grown. ”

White millet, the main variety of corn, was the most important food crop in the Great Song Dynasty today.

Rice is also the kind of crop that was later called rice. Because it needs sufficient water for nourishment to grow well, it is only widely cultivated in the Jiangnan area today. Although the yield is not low. However, it was not the main source of food in the territory of the Northern Dynasties.

Of these two crops, white sorghum millet is cultivated in dry land, and its own yield is about one stone and two buckets to one and a half stone per mu. The yield per mu of rice can reach two or even three stones.

The reason why the small court of King Kang and Zhao Gou was able to maintain it despite Liu Xing's continuous blows was actually a big reason because of the gap between the northern and southern dynasties in terms of grain production, so that he could have a slight advantage in obtaining grain, so he was not easily beaten down, killed, crippled, and disbanded by Liu Xing.

The geographical location of Shandong, especially Yanzhou, is very superior.

Despite the large expanses of the mid-mountains and foothill basins, the abundance of water in Surabaya has led many farmers here to choose to grow rice with a much higher yield than white sorghum millet in order to obtain more adequate food and enable their families to live a prosperous life as soon as possible.

The people take food as the sky, and food is based on the field. It is incomprehensible to abandon the cultivation of high-yielding rice and turn paddy fields into dry fields. Therefore, as soon as Liu Xing saw the farmer searching for water outside the field, he wanted to get off the boat to see what the situation was......

Of course, Liang Xing was also very aware of these internal information, and when he continued to walk forward with Liu Xing, he spoke again: "Taifu, I think it must be that the water source of the farmer's paddy field is not sufficient, so that family wants to change the paddy field to dry land. Moreover, in a place like Yanzhou, the yield per mu of white sorghum millet can actually reach two stones in a good year. ”

Seeing Liu Xing glance back at him, Liang Xing knew from his face that Liu Xing was waiting for him to continue, and he also continued vaguely: "But when the government-supervised commercial office and the government-run grain merchant were purchasing, they were also deliberately lowering the rice harvest and receiving price. Therefore, the family's change from paddy fields to dry fields should be due to the consideration that it is easy to sell grain. ”

"Lei Zhen, I said you remember." After listening to Liang Xing's words, after he found out the situation through Tian Cewei's intelligence network, Liu Xing stopped.

When Lei Zhen hurried to his side, Liu Xingdao: "First, if I am in the court, no matter what kind of merchant is collecting grain, he shall not lift millet and press rice in the future. Second, from now on, the garrisons in Shandong, Hebei, Henan, and Jingzhao will give priority to the supply of rice, and the necessary procurement channels will also be given priority to key guarantees. ”

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Liu Xing immediately said: "Third, I ordered the household department to agree on a new policy, in order to ensure the supply of military food, let them get a set of agricultural subsidy decrees for me as soon as possible." In order to encourage farmers to grow more rice and ensure that there is sufficient grain for the army and the imperial reserves, additional incentive subsidies can be given at a maximum of 30 percent of the local selling price of the grain produced. ”

After another pause to think for a while, Liu Xing continued: "Fourth, in my name, I call on businessmen from all over the world to make every effort to develop the grain deep processing industry. As an encouragement, I will fully open up and promote the windmill mills, animal chain mills and new hydraulic mill technologies in the Hunter Valley. ”

"Fifth, among the grain processing enterprises in various places, it is necessary to immediately give priority to the leadership and supervision of local governments to build a feed production industry that is sufficient to support the feed of local racecourses and military horses. You can't just let the horses eat feed from afar, and you can't just let the horses run and not give the horses good food. At this point, Liu Xing's face became extremely solemn.

After raising his voice slightly, Liu Xing said loudly: "In short, it is a goal, I want to use agricultural subsidies and the policy of technical assistance to let me catch up with the Southern Dynasty in terms of grain output within three years." Within five years, we must let the people of the Southern Dynasty see that our dynasty is truly rich and full of oil. (To be continued.) )
