Zhao Ling Xin opened his search in the system, hoping to find something that could help him now. And was not disappointed; he actually met. It is hidden in the category of strategic military reserves. There was also the necessary supplies for the soldiers.
"Corn and Potato" Zhao Lingxin looked at these two items. He is confident that if both plants can be planted, Shenzhou Capital will no longer lack food. And it could become a significant food exporter as well.
After Sun Wanping raised funds, they asked for support from the merchants. At this time, the energy point in his system was at tens of thousands again.
Causing Zhao Ling Xin to prepare to exchange items from the system And summoned more soldiers as well
"Everyone, we have a solution. I can bring out the corn kernels and potatoes," Zhao Lingxin said at the meeting.
The eyes of the cabinet burned. Some of the awkwardness from the crisis had faded away.
"Your Majesty, what you said is the truth?" Said General Guoyang, curious.
"Is it true, Your Majesty? If we have corn and potatoes, there is no need to worry about food shortages," said Major Xiaoyang, Minister of Agriculture, in an excited tone. Because he knew the importance of these two plants
Zhao Lingxin nodded.
"What I said is true. I can bring both seeds to you at any time."
Right now, the yield of rice is not very high, only 200-300 kg per square meter. But the crops of corn and potatoes are entirely different. Corn and potatoes yield thousands of kilograms of agricultural products per rai.
And if you take good care of it and add fertilizers, especially potatoes, it yields up to five thousand kilograms per square meter. Notably, both plants do not require much maintenance. Easy to grow and multiply. In just a few months, it could easily feed millions of people.
"The Ministry of Agriculture needs to persuade farmers to cultivate both crops as quickly as possible," said Zhao Lingxin.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will immediately implement this policy," said Major Xiayang.
"Your Majesty, I think we should enact a law to control the flow of grain," Prime Minister General Guo Ling said, concerned.
He was well aware of the importance of these two plants. But if these things were leaked, it could strengthen the enemy of the Empire.
General Guo Ling was worried about the potential dangers to the Empire, so he made a proposal that would limit the flow of grain.
"These things are not necessary, even if the enemy can go, there is no great danger to us," Zhao Lingxin said.
He didn't want the two unique plants to clump but in his territory.
Zhao Lingxin wanted these two plants to spread throughout the Great Continent.
Yan Huang still millions of people who are still starving.
Zhao Lingxin hoped that the items he brought into this world. Will change people's fates for the better.
"Your Majesty, The people of the world, will surely remember your kindness," the Cabinet praised the emperor.
In the afternoon, the Cabinet agreed on a campaign to grow new crops at the royal palace. Has passed a resolution through the draft policy General Guo Ling, Prime Minister of the Shenzhou Empire, issued a cultivation decree.
The government and the Ministry of Agriculture will distribute the seeds of corn and potatoes free of charge. And also to support the delivery of new agricultural tools so that farmers can do faster farming.
In the evening, there was a sound scattered among speakers installed throughout the city and announced new policies and laws. People in Shenzhou City are also interested in this.
The staving problem is the subject of most public interest. When they heard the news that the government would promote new crops, they gathered to listen to the information with interest.
The new crop was so high that they were frightened. Thousands of kilograms per hectare like a sacred plant Produce nearly ten times more than rice, and inevitably anyone who heard it had to pay attention.
They made fun comments. If Shenzhou had a lot of food, they would not need to fear starvation. They are waiting for the day to taste these two new plant foods.
The Communication Troops was upgraded to the Communication Battalion, with Zhao Lingxin's energy points returning to replenish it. Along with a hotline phone to the front between Zhao Lingxin and Major General Li Fengyang.
Army commander defending the capital city With soldiers under five battalions And this time, Zhao Ling Xin had summoned two more battalions to strengthen his army as well.
The Communication Battalion was assigned to conduct public relations on the news announcing support for new plants. The population around the capital to be informed. Soldiers from the communication battalion patrolled people's homes, guiding the cultivation process in detail.
Two farmers are also talking about the matter.
"Lin Hai, do you believe the authorities are preaching?" Asked a farmer named Liu Fen.
"It was about yesterday where the military from the government introduced a new plant. I don't believe it either." Lin Hai confidently replied to his friend.
"How could there be such a wonderful plant in this world? There must be a mess of nobles, of course," replied Liu Fen after listening to his peers. Liu Fen became confident that the news he received was fake.
"We don't expect much from the authorities," Liu Fen said, and then headed back to his farm to continue farming.
"Sigh, our rice field yields only 200 kilograms. If the official words were real, it would be nice. Plants that yield thousands of kilograms per hectare. I want it too. "
Liu Fen pondered the officials' words. Liu Fen also expected that the words would come true.
Farmer Liu Fen knew the hardships of farmers. Fortunately, the new emperor canceled the agricultural tax. So when he opened his eyes and mouth again, the income did not rise much village men moved to work in the capital. The factory was very well paid and less tiring. Nobody wants to do farming anymore.
As Liu Fen bowed down to work, someone dressed in military uniform came to his farm. Liu Fen, who saw the soldiers walking from afar, immediately started to welcome them.
"My lord traveled from a long distance. What happened?" Liu Fen asked. He became close with the people dressed in these military uniforms. They were not even cruel, and they were kind to lower-level people like them. If one wears a gray military uniform, it is often welcome by the villagers with enthusiasm.
"My name is Haogao. Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture Come here to execute a policy order from the government," replied Haogao.
"My lord Hao Kee, my name is called Liu Fen, But what kind of policy is that?" Liu Fen asked curiously.
"The government and the Ministry of Agriculture will give you a new type of seed for planting," replied Haogao. He then handed over the seed bag. With instructions on how to use these
"My lord, the rumor, is that true? This plant produces thousands of kilograms of yield per acre." Liu Fen stared at the bag of seeds in his hand incomparably.
Haogao laughed slightly before saying.
"You have misunderstood. The news is not a rumor but the truth. "
"It's true!" Said Liu Fen in a shocked tone. I felt that the hand holding the seed became heavier. Both hands started to tremble slightly. He began to fear that he would damage the Seed of Heaven.
"Of course, the government will not lie to you. I hope you can cultivate these plants as soon as possible," said Haogao.
"My lord, I assure you that my farm will be full of this crop," Liu Fen assured him with a confident expression. Ready to go back to the cultivation experiment immediately
"Wait a minute, don't go," Haogao said, pausing.
"What's the matter? My lord?" Liu Fen wondered what else this officer would assign him.
"According to government policy, The Ministry of Agriculture will also provide you with a new set of agricultural equipment. This is government support." Finished, Haogao ordered two other officers to put the equipment in front of Liu Fen.
"This is it!" Exclaimed Liu Fen.
Numerous agricultural equipment forged from sufficient iron glistened in front of Liu Fen. The sunlight reflected on these devices. It shot into Liu Fen's eyes until it burned.
"My lord! I can't take it. It's too valuable."
Although Liu Fen was a farmer, he knew that the value of these things would be enormous. He couldn't take it and tried to return Haogao.
"You take it. This is the duty of the government to provide agricultural equipment to help you," he said. He quickly walked away, not waiting for Liu Fen to have a chance to force the return of the equipment.
Liu Fen stared at the received item as he looked at Haogao, who hurriedly left. Liu Fen felt depressed. His eyes felt a burning sensation as if we could weep at any time.
"My lord, I assure you that I will grow these plants to flourish."
Even if the rumor of the seed was false, it was enough with such an impression. Liu Fen remembered this touching memory deep in his heart. Then he started to pick up the seeds and went to the empty fields preparing to try growing these plants.
