Fortunately, Liu Bei is not a person who is addicted to alcohol. He drinks more just for the atmosphere and drinks comfortably, and does not have to pursue height.

So just enjoying a night of liquor and feast and dancing in the road, Liu Bei took back his mind the next day.

I heard that "double-season rice" from Nanzhong arrived in Wudao, which is the top priority that concerns the national economy and people's livelihood, so he pulled Li Su to inspect and see what the double-season rice looks like.

Even if it is transported as seeds, it is impossible to transport only a little bit. Otherwise, at a reproduction rate of thirty to fifty times, it will be more than enough to be planted on a large scale in Shu. I wonder how many years it will take to delay.

So Li Hui and Gu Yong were quite good. When Li Su took Liu Bei to the granary to check the goods, Liu Bei saw seven or eight grain ships carrying thousands of stones each, and some unloaded goods were piled up in the warehouse.

When Liu Bei saw this scale, he was also amazed: "So much? How much is the total weight? Li Hui and the others have put in a lot of effort? I heard that the road in Nanzhong is very difficult to walk, and some places still have to cross mountains."

Li Su: "It's only 10,000 shi here, and there will be so much this year, a total of 20,000 shi. It will be able to continue to cultivate spring in February next year. Transportation is indeed not easy. It is mainly because from Buwei County to Yeyu and Kunming in Yongchang, it has to be transported by land, with more than 800 miles of land.

Among them, there were two or three hundred miles of carts that could not even be pulled, so they only rely on elephants and Yunnan horses to carry. Fortunately, Gu Yong was able to manage civil affairs well. Since he became the magistrate of Jianning County, he has been deeply educated and produced in the folk and sent Han veterinarians to teach Kunming Yi how to use Yunnan horses and donkeys to cross mules. Finally, the local black Yi learned to raise mules like the Han people. This animal carriage is easier to transport than Yunnan horses. So many grain and rice specialties are transported to Kunming.

In contrast, the water transportation from Shanguo to Buwei, which Li Hui was responsible for this year, is much easier than last year. Since the shipyard in Buwei last winter, he learned the "keel boat building method" just made by the Mi family shipbuilders, they have also built large ships that can navigate the Zhou water and carry thousands of stones of cargo.

The length is more than ten zhang, the width is only two zhang, and the aspect ratio can exceed five times. There is no danger of hitting the reef in the narrow surrounding water. Moreover, the vertical bumps in the upstream and downstream are not big, and they are not as disastrous as last year."

As we all know, the fatter the hull, the wider it is good for the stability of horizontal roll, and the thinner it is, the better the suppression effect of pitching. In places like Nujiang where water is surging, what the ship needs to resist waves most is longitudinal bumps, and a keel structure is needed to increase the maximum torque it can resist.

Therefore, without the improvement of shipbuilding technology from the Yizhou Army, it would be difficult to spread to the estuary of the Nujiang River without the original Ailao natives' activities, which is the area around Maudmian, the port city of Burma in later generations.

Now, judging from the report sent back by Li Hui, they have successfully set up six or seven "colonial settlement sites" on the "Zhoushui" (Nujiang) route of more than 2,100 miles, each with a spacing of two or three hundred miles.

The Tuoxian camp has distributed excellent weapons, iron and agricultural tools, sufficient food supplies and livestock to the fertile river valley alluvial plains to burn wasteland and silt and cultivate, and has successfully established its foothold.

Not many people died in the whole process, because not many Han people went there. Even if there were Han people in the Tuoxian camp, they were all similar to locals in Yongchang County such as the Li Hui family.

After hearing this explanation, Liu Bei sat down calmly, took a big bowl of rice, and ate it with rabbit meat. As soon as he ate it, he felt that the difference was coming.

However, Liu Bei is worthy of being a foodie with taste. After eating for a while, he gave a comment: "Since this rice is high-yield and can be used for a season, it must be promoted no matter what. As for the taste, it may not be acceptable for the rich and rich people who like fine grain, but the poor people should not care.

Moreover, Boya, you cannot handle the side dishes today. Steamed rice with barbecue meat dishes, of course, the rice is rough and loose. But if you make porridge, or eat it with soup and tea, the rice is rough and loose. Next year, while officials from all counties and counties advise farmers, they will also preach the way to eat new rice, so that the people can make more porridge and rice. Come and ask the kitchen to make a braised pork with soy sauce, and try again."

Li Su didn't realize this problem because he didn't plan to eat this kind of rice, so he didn't think about the problem of "how to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses to cook this new rice delicious."

After being broadcast on demand by Liu Bei, he was still stunned, but he did not delay at all and ordered the chef to add dishes immediately.

Of course, the chef would not let the king wait too much. Soon, he made a braised meat sauce made of traditional soy sauce. Liu Bei directly used braised meat sauce to bibimbap and then ate it after it was soaked in oil soup. It really felt completely different.

No wonder many seasonal rice with coarse rice in tropical areas are usually used to make humid rice with rice, either Wanwan braised pork rice or Thai or Indian curry sauce rice with rice.

Even Liu Ba and Zhuge Jin who followed Li Su applauded after eating and said from the bottom of their hearts: "The king really understands the sufferings of the people. Just having a meal can think of ways to make the people feel happy in the sufferings."

Liu Bei did not take credit and waved his hand casually: "I am poor until the age of fourteen and have suffered hardships since I was a child. This is easy to think of. You all, the poverty you were young may not need to be as careful as Gu. Ordinary people may not even be able to afford braised pork with lard sauce, but it is certain that it is easier to conceal the roughness of making soup rice."

While saying that Liu Bei did not waste it. He cleaned the remaining little rice braised pork rice in the bowl and ate the gravy. Then he put down the bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of the soup, and remembered another question:

"Boya, how many acres of land can be planted in these stored grains transported this year? If you keep them every season, how long will it take to promote it to the entire Yizhou?"

This question is easy to calculate, Liu Bei is just too lazy to calculate. And Li Su can obviously answer it in two seconds:

"The general planting and harvesting ratio is 30 to 50 times, depending on the quality of the field. Each Chinese mu of grain harvest is more than one stone and four liters of seeds are sown. These seeds can be planted in 500,000 Chinese mu, which is about 5,000 counties. After one season, all seeds can be kept, covering 150,000 households. All the people can be planted in two years."

Planting began in 194 and expanding seeds. In 196, early rice could be planted in Shu at least one season.

The reason why Li Su calculated this is because Linyi rice is mainly used as early rice seeds, which is the first season of double-season rice. It is best to plant the original local late rice in the second season, otherwise the temperature may accumulate and the weather conditions such as sunshine are not suitable.

Of course, it is also possible to do more control experiments in the first year. The experiment cannot waste much food, so it is just to collect scientific data.

Liu Bei nodded and found it very reasonable: "Boya is thoughtful. It is true that the place is a thousand miles apart, so it may not be able to be fully grown directly. It is better to slowly draw it. Two years is just two years. Two years later, I will find a way to promote it to Jingnan. The climate there is also a warm and humid climate, and the Nanzhong products should also be suitable for moving them over.

By the way, when it comes to Jingnan, I don’t know how Zilong is doing. I said before that the summer is hot and the smoky land of Lingling is not suitable for military use. Now it’s October, and he hasn’t wiped out Liu Du while the autumn air is cool. After a while, Gu will plan to transfer him back to prepare for the Northern Expedition and ask Zijing to change defenses."

After talking about the promotion of early rice, Liu Bei missed Zhao Yunlai and suddenly talked about it.

Li Su calculated the time and comforted him: "Zilong has always been reliable. I'm afraid Lingling has succeeded now. It's just that the journey is long and the messenger delays it. It may take half a month to send military information to Shuzhong. It's delayed on the road."

When Liu Bei thought, the same should be true.
