In the suburbs of Dianchong, another Linyi army was wiped out by Fu Quan's army, and the dead fell on both sides of the road. In this hot weather, the bodies will soon rot, and a large number of corpses will easily cause plague if they are not disposed of early.

This was exactly the effect the Zhou army wanted, so the bodies of the fallen Linyi soldiers were exposed to the scorching sun, attracting countless flies to gather, and along with another Linyi army that was wiped out yesterday, forming an "scenic line" that people could not avoid.

Not far from the silent battlefield, Yuwen Wen smelled the stinking smell of corpse and didn't think anything was wrong. Dead people on the battlefield were common, so corpse smell was very common to soldiers.

At this moment, he stood on the ridge of the field beside the dirt road, and looked up at the green rice fields, with rice starting to grow. If he was not affected by wind or flood, he would be able to harvest rice in a while.

Yuwen Wen pulled out a rice plant from the field and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The reason why he favored this rice is so much because of the two ears of this rice.

Generally speaking, if a rice plant is soaked with one ear, that is, "one grain and one ear". If one grain and two ears appear in the field, two seedlings are beautiful, and three seedlings share the ear, it will be an amazing auspiciousness.

Such seedlings are called "Jiahe", which is generally believed to be a sign of peace in the world.

According to the literary saying, "Jiahe is the longest grain, and the king is virtuous." In a popular saying, Jiahe refers to the growing and vigorous rice. If the crops grow well, it means that grain output will increase and grain prices will also drop significantly.

The country is based on the people and the people are the most important. The people will not rebel if they have food. In this way, the dynasty will have no internal worries. From this perspective, the statement that Jiahe represents peace in the world is indeed correct.

The reason why Yuwen Wen was interested in this Jiahe plant was completely intimate. He had planted a field in Huangzhou (Bazhou) for almost eight years. He was deceived many times but he couldn't buy the rice seeds he wanted.

The capital of Linyi changed several times and was finally established in Chameng. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains introduced double-season rice called "Chancheng Rice" and promoted the cultivation of double-season rice on a large scale in the Jiangnan region. Since then, grain output has begun to increase significantly.

Chamcheng rice is a general term, and it is not limited to the rice around Chamcheng. It refers to the double-season rice that is "double ripening in a year" in Jiaozhou, Linyi and other places. Yuwen Wen certainly knows the benefits of Chamcheng rice, so he has been working hard to introduce this kind of rice to make his farming career qualitative changes.

In this era, rice in the Central Plains was basically single-season rice, which was ripe every year, with a long growth cycle. It could only be achieved by continuously reclaiming farmland to expand the planting area to increase grain output.

Even if Yuwen Wen is located in Huangzhou, even if he builds water conservancy on a large scale, destroys the nails and reclaims wastelands, the area of ​​farmland that can be expanded is always limited, which is not as good as those in Henan and Hebei, the vast plains in Hebei, so he used all the ways to increase production and income.

Iron plow, transplanting rice and wheat rotation, and fermented manure to fertilize the fields, the effect is still there but not enough. What Yuwen Wen needs most is double-season rice, which is a qualitative improvement in grain yield.

Double-ripening rice in one year can significantly increase grain output without changing the farmland area.

Where did the double-season rice come from? Lingbiao has widespread interactions, but at that time Lingbiao was under the rule of Chen State, so Yuwen Wen could not acquire double-season rice seeds on a large scale, so he could only seek help from merchants.

Yuwen Wen spends a lot of money to buy Jiaozhou rice seeds every year, but the so-called Jiaozhou rice seeds transported by unscrupulous merchants as payment for goods were not effective in each batch of trial planting in Huangzhou. I don’t know if there is a problem with the rice seeds or the wrong cultivation method, but it doesn’t have the effect of double ripening in a year.

Yuwen Wen, who has always regarded himself as a profiteer, was fooled by the profiteer for year after year. However, for various reasons, he could not turn against him. He could only sow seeds again and again, and then be disappointed again and again.

Of course, there are still seeds that can be ripe in a year after planting them, but there are only a few plants in a mu of fields, and there is no possibility of large-scale promotion. Every time Yuwen takes seeds from a profiteer, he feels like he still wants to eat them even though he knows it is shit.

Now, he led his troops to Lingbiao Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. Now he is standing in the rice fields outside Dianchong City, the double-season rice he wants is right in front of him, and no profiteer can fool him!

Yuwen Wen took the rice and asked the accompanying generals beside him: "You have eaten the rice here last night. How does it taste?"

"King, the rice here seems to taste similar to the rice weaved from Long, and is similar to the rice in Panyu, but it is far worse than the rice in Cicada Rice."

Seeing that several generals had similar views, Yuwen Wen asked again: "Are you used to eating this rice?"

"Hey, of course I am used to eating. When I was not in the army, I couldn't eat enough every meal. How could I pay so much attention to it?"

"Would the king want to bring this rice seed to Huangzhou to plant? If it is really ripe for two ripe a year, that would be great! The people don't have that much money to buy cicada rice. The rice that is ripe for two ripe this year is not expensive. As long as you have rice to eat, your life will be good."

"Yes, I want to try planting these double-season rice in Huangzhou. Once it is successful, I will promote such double-season rice to the south of the mountain and even the Yangtze River coast to make the rice prices plummet and make the people afford white rice!"

After hearing Yuwen Wen say this, Tian Zhengyue and other generals were very excited. They believed in anything Yuwen Wen said. Once the double-season rice is really promoted in the Central Plains, it would be a great thing that will be loved by the people.

Most of the soldiers of the Hulin Army were from poor backgrounds and originally came to join the army to have a bowl of rice. For them, the taste of rice is second, and whether they eat enough is the most important thing.

The family can eat rice, eat some meat every day, see oil and some salt in every meal. This is the pursuit that many people dream of but difficult to achieve. It is good for everyone to eat brown rice. On weekdays, they cook some wild vegetable porridge to satisfy their hunger.

Huangzhou has changed a lot in recent years, and the people have benefited a lot. In Huangzhou and neighboring prefectures and counties, they can eat some chicken, duck, pork every day, and oil can be seen in every meal and taste salty.

Speaking of this, many people understand one thing: "It turns out that the king emptyed the rice seeds in the Linyi State Grain Depot and wanted to transport them back to Huangzhou for trial planting?"

"Of course, I have to bring some Linyi farmers back and let them teach their farming experience. Not only here, but also here, Jiaozhou Longbian and Guangzhou Panyu, I ordered people to collect a large number of rice seeds and farming experts, and take them to Huangzhou to try planting double-season rice!"

Yuwen Wen was full of confidence, but now is not a long time to discuss it. He came to the field not to collect rice seeds, but to have more important things to do.

As the saying goes, "Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the west." Since Yuwen Wen wants to surprise Linyi Kingdom, it is not enough to just massacre the city. He threw away the Jiahe in his hand and shouted at the darkness of the fields:
Chapter completed!
