Liu Qi can't say whether the Chameng rice on the table is the Chameng rice in history, but according to Pang Tong's retelling, Liu Qi knows that the rice seeds in front of him will definitely have a much higher annual yield than those used by the people in the southern part of the Han Dynasty.

In this society, food is the first pillar of the economy. A force can do almost anything it wants as long as it has enough food.

An important reason why the princes and patriarchs in various places were repeatedly suppressed by local tyrants and noble families was that in the late Han Dynasty, the rapid growth of the manor economy made the local tyrants quite rich in food reserves, and there were two largest consumables in the war, one was the population and the other was the food.

In order to obtain enough food to provide the most military supplies, the princes and pastors had to compromise and bow to the local tyrants, and use political interests in exchange to tie the strong tribes in their jurisdiction to their own chariots.

The grain reserves of local strong people and the strength of their manor economy came from land annexation. However, due to the war, a large amount of unowned land appeared in various states and counties, and the population also decreased sharply, which provided a powerful opportunity for Muslim such as Liu Qi to turn things around.

Liu Qi is currently implementing rent and mediocre adjustments in Jingzhou, which to a certain extent restricts the continued development and expansion of the local tribes in Jingzhou. However, he also understands in his heart that this method is just a solution to the urgent problem. Over the years and over time, land annexation can gradually break the policies, and history has witnessed it.

The only way is to implement the policy of "spending acres to acres" and completely abolish the cap tax and transfer it to the land.

In this way, the population can not only increase explosively, but also control the power of the manor to the greatest extent.

To implement the implementation of the allocation of prix to acres, there must be a prerequisite.

That is, your strength is absolutely strong enough!

Without thinking, once the policy of dives to earn acres will be implemented, whether in Yizhou or Jingzhou, those prominent families who own a lot of land will oppose themselves.

But fortunately, it is now a chaotic era. The chaotic era has created its own strong military power and also weakened the power and chain of interests possessed by local manor owners. If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, it will be extremely difficult to advance.

But even if there is a strong military force as a guarantee, once the number of internal and external wars increases, the consumption of food and fodder will inevitably increase.

Therefore, another reason why Liu Qi cannot completely let go is food.

But now, Chameng rice before the Ming Dynasty seems to be able to solve this problem to a certain extent.

If there is enough food, the soldiers and generals are strong enough, and when there are troubled times, all reforms and government orders can be carried out according to the current situation.

If someone is not convinced... then use political means and strong soldiers to suppress it.

Liu Qi looked at the rice on the table and asked Pang Tong: "Have this rice seed been implemented on a large scale in Jingzhou?"

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "No, Liu Fujun said that this rice seed has just been transported from the south. How to plant it needs to be decided by the senior brother, so he dare not be good at it."

"Who else is there except you and your cousin who knows this?"

"There are only a few people including Uncle Jia and Mr. Decao, not many of them. It's just that after Liu Fujun got this rice seed, he went to ask Uncle Jia for advice on how to act in the future, otherwise I wouldn't even know my junior brother."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, Liu Pan is the most trustworthy and is very reliable in doing things.

And now he is becoming more and more mature, and he has gradually understood what low-key is.

Looking at Liu Qi's thoughtful expression, Pang Tong bowed and asked him, "Senior Brother, where do you plan to try this rice seed now?"

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this.

It seems that Pang Tong should be worried that Chameng rice comes from outside the south and may not be suitable for planting it in the Han Dynasty. If you want to try it, you still need to consider it carefully.

But in fact, Liu Qi already knew that this rice seed has extremely strong adaptability because of its drought resistance.

Historically, during the Song Dynasty, Chameng rice was distributed throughout most areas such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Lianghu, Suzhou, and Sichuan. The population of the Song Dynasty also increased sharply due to the promotion of Chameng rice.

"Nanzhong will try to implement it now." Liu Qi said after pondering: "I have sent people to various places in Nanzhong to recruit all barbarian kings. At the same time, I plan to implement a policy of restraint in Nanzhong and encourage the barbarians to develop farming and make them kingly."

Pang Tong nodded after hearing this and said, "Senior brother, before I came to Jingzhou this time, my uncle made a name for this rice seed. If he could be prosperous and benefit the people, he could be passed down to the world."

Liu Qi asked curiously: "What's the name?"

"Zhenxijiu."

Zhenxijiu...

Liu Qi kept muttering in his heart, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Although the name is vulgar, it is very practical.

Just this name is enough to pass on Liu Qi's name to the present world.

Once a rice seed that can be ripe twice a year can be solved by solving the problem of dried fruits for the people of the world, the grace of this rice seed is probably enough to surpass all predecessors.

Even if you want to say something disrespectful, the names of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Wu Liu Che, and Guangwu Liu Xiu are not as good as those who discovered this rice seed.

For the people, the achievements of the first three wise and powerful emperors are nothing more than expanding their territory.

But the achievements of General Liu Qi, the Zhenxi General, saved the whole world.

...

After a detailed talk with Pang Tong, Liu Qi asked him to go back and rest first, while he continued to plan and think about the next step of developing Yizhou.

This careful consideration lasted for two hours.

Liu Qi listed the next thing he wanted to do step by step on the bamboo slips and prepared to start implementing it one by one.

At this time, it was getting darker. Liu Qi stood up, stretched his waist, and was about to return to the mansion to rest. Dian Wei, who was guarding outside, came to his door and said that the Central Secretary Zhang Yun was asking for a meeting.

"Let him come in."

Liu Qi knew that his cousin was not so important, so it must be important to come to him so late.

Zhang Yun entered Liu Qi's room, first bowed to him, and then said to him: "Boyu, Huang Hansheng from Jingzhou wrote a letter saying that Liu Bei had entered Sichuan."

"Have Liu Bei entered Sichuan?" Liu Qi nodded suddenly and said, "Who are you bringing troops?"

"No, there are only twenty followers, his brother Zhang Fei, and his army supervisor Zhao Yun."

"Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun..." Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Where is Guan Yu and Jian Yong?"

"Stay in Wancheng to lead troops."

Liu Qi frowned and began to pace back and forth in the hall, thinking seriously.

Zhang Yun didn't say anything, just waited for Liu Qi to finish his thoughts.

When he was young, he saw Liu Qi standing there and sighed deeply.

"Zhao Yun was letting Liu Bei play with him."

Zhang Yun was stunned when he heard this, and also lowered his head to think carefully.

He has followed Liu Qi for many years and has already obtained Liu Qi's true teachings. After a little thought, he understood Liu Bei's intention.

"Liu Bei brought Zhao Yun into Shu, on the surface, to the same boat as him, but in fact he just wanted to take the opportunity to let Guan Yu take control of all the military power in Youzhou in Jingzhou?"

Liu Qi nodded slowly and said, "That's exactly what it is."

"This Liu Bei is very smart."

Liu Qi smiled at Zhang Yun and said, "This person is not ordinary, and he has great ambitions. If he is given a chance, he may not stay under others for a long time."

Zhang Yun was shocked when he heard this: "Boyu, if this is true, why would you better turn this person..."

After saying that, Zhang Yun made a slashing gesture.

Liu Qi shook his head: "I and Grand Sima are both members of the Guardian Alliance. Now in the Guardian Alliance, only I and Grand Sima are echoing from the south and north. Liu Bei is a person valued by Grand Sima. If I kill him for no reason, I will be killed by the Liu clan relatives... Besides, Liu Bei is not that scary to me."

Zhang Yun nodded as if he had understood it.

"Boyu, then how do you plan to use this person?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Anyway, he has some time left before he can go to Chengdu. Let me think about it slowly."

Looking at Liu Qi's slightly tired face, Zhang Yun suddenly bowed to him and said, "Boyu, how tired you have been recently? Look at you, your dark circles are coming out... This way! Take you to a place for me and relax a little. What do you think, brother?"
