Chapter 1 Champa Rice

Sun Ce, who was familiar with the history of the empire's success, certainly knew how great benefits it could bring to go to sea to plunder other countries. It was to concentrate all the wealth accumulated by other countries over hundreds or thousands of years on his own country by violent means.

It is to use the flesh and blood of other people to support the prosperity of one country and develop rapidly in life. Moreover, all imperialist countries do this. However, today's Han Dynasty took the lead in the initiative a thousand years in advance.

He knew the truth that if he was behind, he would be beaten. Sun Ce did not want to participate in the history of his own. The Han Dynasty lost at the starting line again. The Han Dynasty's future strategy was global plunder. Using the way of the barbarians, he would return the body of the barbarians in advance.

It would never be a cynicism that obeys the left and right. The passion of men and men cannot be spiritually castrated by a Confucianism.

Therefore, the national propaganda must make the people of the whole country always remember the truth that "being strong first, even those who violate our strong Han will be punished."

At the end, Gan Ning said with some pain: "Lord, this battle to combat the rebellion also allowed our army's two thousand brave Han soldiers to stay in Xianglin County forever. With the previous large and small battles, only 18,000 people left for more than 20,000 navy to go home!"

Hearing that nearly 20% of the navy suffered casualties, the warm atmosphere at the banquet became heavier. Sun Ce said for a moment: "When going to the four sides, casualties are inevitable! However, the sacrifices of these 4,000 soldiers effectively safeguarded the national territorial integrity of the Han Dynasty.

They are the heroes of the country, the heroes of the people, and the whole Han people will read forever! Long article, Shiyuan, the first article of your legislation must be written, all the heroes of the people who strive for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty will be immortal!

Ziheng, your Military Law Office is responsible for opening a large square in the middle of the newly built Moling City. Build a monument to the people's heroes to commemorate all the fallen soldiers of our army. We must organize the people of the Han Dynasty to worship them every year.

Whether on land or on sea, as long as the soldiers who sacrificed for the strength of the Han Dynasty are the heroes of the Han Dynasty!”

Lu Fan, Chen Qun and Pang Tong each respectfully received the order. As smart as them, they could certainly understand the meaning of the lord's use of this.

As the lord has been saying, only by telling the soldiers clearly why they are struggling and sacrificing, can they be willing to fight, bleed, and eliminate the enemies of the Han Dynasty.

However, Sun Ce knew that the Xianglin was the more difficult it was under the Indochina Peninsula in later generations. The more adjacent Zhenla was Cambodia in later generations.

With a strong navy as a guarantee, the Han army did not have to travel through the 100,000 mountains of Jiaozhou, which was difficult to travel. It effectively guaranteed the ownership of the Indochina Peninsula and eliminated the intention of the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan.

As for the last killing of Qu Lian during the battle, this even more difficult ancestor would never have the chance to split the Han Dynasty.

After the Navy basically completed Sun Ce's mission, most of the soldiers missed home. The warlike Gan Ning then ordered 500 soldiers to be stationed in the local area as a standing army to guide the local county soldiers and servants to conduct military training.

The rest of the people returned to the Han Dynasty. This battle finally stabilized the territory of the Han Dynasty's southern waters and was destined to continue to expand with the advance of the naval ships.

In Gan Ning's plan, the next time he goes to sea, the entire army will move westward towards the direction of Tianzhu and Qin. The navy of the Han, who is increasingly confident, will escort a large number of Han merchant ships and travel along the sea routes opened up by the navy.

As for engaging in predatory expansion or normal business, it depends on the specific situation of each country. Anyway, Sun Ce has given the decision-making power at sea to both of them.

After mourning the martyrs for a moment, the banquet became lively again in Gan Ning's remarks on the exotic customs.

Just when Sun Ce was sighing at Gan Ning and what Sun Quan said about the wonderful battle between the Xianglin and Xiangbing, Sun Quan smiled and asked the guards to send a string of golden rice on a tray.

Sun Ce picked up some rice in surprise and observed carefully, but could not see anything abnormal.

He had to ask his cheerful second brother, "Why did Jinghai specially present this grain? Is this rice different from the grains planted by my great man?"

He was quite interested in taking credit. Sun Quan smiled and said, "Yes! Brother, you must have never imagined how different this grain is from the grains grown by the people of the Han Dynasty!"

Sun Ce, who knew nothing about farming, watched the rice in his hand carefully again.

He whispered to himself: "It seems that the rice grains are more plump, but the rice ears seem to have grown a little. Could it be that its yield is higher than the rice we plant today?"

When he saw his elder brother who seemed to be a good person, he finally didn't know something. Sun Quan, who looked even more proud on his face, glanced at Gan Ning, who was also smiling.

He said to Sun Ce: "Brother, you can tell that this is Linyi, which is called Champa Bula by the local natives. And our Han people also call it Champa for short! And all the rice planted in these areas is this kind of rice!"

After thinking for a moment, Sun Ce was shocked: "Chancheng! Is this Chameng rice? No way!"

Chamcheng rice is a high-yield, early-ripening and drought-tolerant rice seed produced in the Indochina Peninsula. Historically, it was introduced to the Han Dynasty about 800 years later in the Song Dynasty. Compared with the traditional rice of the Han Dynasty, it has countless advantages.

The first is that it is "drought-tolerant". The second is that it is highly adaptable and "birthed from the ground". The third is that it has a short growth period, and only more than fifty days from planting to harvest. It can be said that it is the earliest double-season or even multi-season rice in China.

For example, the benefits of rice that can only be harvested in nearly a hundred days in the Han Dynasty and cannot withstand the wind and rain are self-evident.

All the civil and military soldiers in the hall who attended the banquet became excited after knowing the characteristics of this rice.

After everyone was shocked and discussed for a while, Sun Quan's clear voice sounded again: "Brother! When I was a minor official under Zhang Changshi, I noticed that my rice in the Han Dynasty is now in good weather and rain, and the yield per mu is less than 300 kilograms, and there is only one season a year.

Therefore, I saw that this rice was sown by the locals at will and never took care of it, but could harvest 400 kilograms per mu. What I couldn't believe was that it could harvest up to five seasons a year. I discussed with General Xingba and brought back three thousand hu of rice from Chameng.

I believe that with such excellent rice seeds, the people only need a little care when farming. Their yield will definitely increase. In this way, my brother will no longer have to worry about the lack of rice and grain in the world!"

"Three thousand hu! That's sixty tons of rice seeds!" Finally, I couldn't help but feel excited. Sun Ce suddenly stood up, strode to Sun Quan, and reached out to punch his second brother's strong chest.

Sun Quan, who was so proud of his fight, coughed violently and glared at the rude brother with some grievance.

Only then did Sun Ce realize his incompetence. While comforting Sun Quan's pain, he laughed heartily: "Okay! That's great! Jinghai, Xingba, no matter how great your achievements in expanding the border and expanding the sea, it is not as great as the contribution of bringing back rice seeds.

Brother, I want the historian to write a lot of notes for you, haha! In the world of the Han Dynasty, with the rice seeds you brought back, no one will starve to death because there is no food to eat! Never lose harvest because of the unhappy weather!

As long as this rice can be harvested for two seasons a year in Jiangnan, the two prefectures in Jiangnan will have to harvest at least tens of millions of hu of grain a year on the existing fields. If it can be harvested for three seasons a year, the county will expand the area of ​​this rice planting in the future.

Haha! Even if the man has hundreds of millions of people, he is not afraid of no food available. That’s great! Jinghai, you should remember the first merit in this matter!"

Everyone was shocked again by the prospects depicted by the almost crazy words of the Lord Gongsun Ce. The heated discussion almost overturned the roof of the banquet hall.

"Yes! With the huge increase in yield per mu, two more seasons will be collected in the next three seasons. Is it possible that the man will be short of food? Unless it is a day that leaks!"

Seeing that the big man had to face this year, all problems could be solved by relying solely on this new rice seed. At the beginning, Zhang Zhao, who thought it was just a labor force to hurt money, opposed Sun Ce's sending people to sea, also began to believe that the lord's strategy of Pinghai was extremely far-sighted.

What's more, there are the whole ship, the gold, silver and treasures transported back by the whole ship. The shiny pearl treasure spirit almost blinded the eyes of Zhang Zhao, the highest commander who was receiving the spoils. This is a real mountain of gold, silver and gems!

Such a rich harvest made more than a thousand strong soldiers transport it for three days, and the county soldiers were almost exhausted before they were completed. The harvest of these ships was equivalent to the fiscal and tax revenue of Jiangnan for a whole year.

The banquet ended in a warm atmosphere, and the civil and military officials were stirred up by countless rumors in foreign lands, and dispersed after drinking and eating. Many generals who knew how to fight had even made up their minds.

The next time the navy goes to sea, he will also ask his lord for his order. He will bring a team of 100-foot ships to conquer the barbarians from all over the world.

The generals dispersed, while Gan Ning and Sun Quan were a little sneaky and followed Sun Ce, who was drunk. Even the guards and other guards looked at the two generals who had just made great contributions.

In the thoughts of the guards, these two were naturally loyal to the lord. Moreover, one of them was the lord's brother, so there was no danger. Soon Sun Ce discovered two strange guys.

He asked in surprise: "Hey! Xingba, what are you doing?"

Gan Ning was originally black and red, almost bleeding, but she still looked a little indescribable.

This expression made Sun Ce even more strange: "Xingba! What's wrong with you? Why are you so disgusted? Like a green-skinned boy who has never seen the world. This is incompatible with the appearance of your mighty hero who swept the world!"

Seeing that Gan Ning couldn't hold back his words, Sun Quan, who had recovered his confidence, could no longer bear it.

Relying on the drunkenness, he shouted to Song Qian and the guards: "Brothers, please avoid it. We have important things to report to our elder brother! Avoid it, avoid it!"
Chapter completed!
