The Queen Mother personally issued the decree.
She usually issues orders in the name of Mr. Xu, but this is one of the few times she does so.
"The Empress of Heaven carries an edict: Anyone who contributes high-yielding crops, high-yielding seeds, and good methods for increasing yields, regardless of their position and origin, can join the Royal Agricultural Research Institute and be awarded a fourth-grade official position."
"The Ai family will not hesitate to be granted a title, a gift of gold, and a reward for marrying a grandson."
A simple imperial edict may not seem like much in the eyes of others, but it has a different meaning in the eyes of Wen Rensheng.
Lu Zhi, the middle school girl, has begun to turn into the evil queen mother.
Without him, it would be difficult for modern people to think of arranging arranged marriages for their children, let alone their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
If the person who donated good seeds was an 80-year-old widowed farmer, would he still marry his great-granddaughter?
It would be unimaginable to modern people, but in the eyes of important figures in the imperial court, it was commonplace.
Liu Jian also saw this edict.
To be honest, he didn't understand much about the importance of food before Teacher Wen gave him the Republic of China class.
Dongzhou is so big that food has always been cheap and wasted, used to make wine and turned into meat. Even if you don't work, you can still get all kinds of free food.
Food with a shelf life of half a day is put on the shelves at 8 o'clock in the morning and disposed of after 12 o'clock.
In Liu Jian’s childhood memory, food was grown in supermarkets.
Big supermarkets are much longer, small supermarkets are less long.
It wasn't until he was ten years old, when his father led him to bury a corpse in the wild that he realized that food grew from human corpses.
People eat food, and food eats people.
How fair. The foundation for the operation of this world is the word justice.
An unbalanced system cannot exist for a long time.
An unjust social system will inevitably collapse.
Later, he learned that food needs chemical fertilizers, water, and sunlight.
The biology teacher at that time also asked, does any child know how wheat grows?
He still remembers that he raised his hand and answered: "Teacher, I know that wheat grows from corpses."
The biology teacher said awkwardly: "Classmate Liu Jian is right, wheat grows better in fields where small animal carcasses are buried."
How could a simple biology teacher know how terrifying the real memories in the minds of simple children can be...
And now Liu Jian, of course, fully understands the importance of food.
It can be said that given the national character of an adult, as long as there is enough food, no one will starve to death, and no one will rebel no matter what the superiors do.
This is also the reason why Queen Mother Lu has been the Queen Mother for five hundred years.
From the bottom of their hearts, ordinary people don't care about such distant things.
Many people even believed that the emperor was supposed to be immortal and that it was normal for the queen mother to live forever.
When the emperor dies, it means returning to heaven, not death.
Therefore, it is a sign of high virtue for the Queen Mother to remain in this world forever, and God will not accept her as an old lady.
But now, foreign enemies have invaded and there is a food crisis.
Because trade was booming before, food was much cheaper outside.
Basically only one-third of the cost of growing an adult!
At such a price, many civilians choose to destroy their farms to grow mulberry trees, or abandon their land to work, and live a life of buying grain with money.
In ancient times, the grain-producing areas moved from Jiangnan to Huguang because farmers in Jiangnan, driven by economic interests, were unwilling to grow grain and instead planted mulberry and raised silkworms.
The same is true for Dacheng now.
Originally, there was enough food for everyone, but under the impact of foreign trade, large landowners asked their tenants to switch to cash crops in exchange for higher returns and participate in world trade.
They were slowly transforming into land planters.
But then war came.
If we want to switch back to cash crops, we will suffer huge losses, and mulberry fields and farmland are completely different.
It takes a long time in between.
…………
In a pavilion, Liu Jian sat across from two staff members.
"The current court system is too slow, too loose, and too inefficient."
"They dare not mobilize the people for fear that the people will truly have the power. They are only willing to let the landlords and officials organize team training to fight against the Westerners."
"There is not enough food, but in fact if the country's food is collected and fairly distributed, it will be enough for the whole country for five years. In five years, it will be enough to complete the agricultural adjustment and achieve enough food."
The two staff members said something to each other, in a word:
This court is not good enough and needs to be replaced.
How to replace it?
Two staff members won't do it.
It is easy to find faults, but it is too difficult to create a new system to solve the problems.
There were so many peasant uprisings, but none of them could solve the stubborn problems of feudalism.
In the end, it was the exchange of information from the outside that gave the closed system a new lease of life.
And at this time, it was the same.
Liu Jian had experienced the Republic of China era and knew how the people there finally solved this problem.
"Only those who are the most determined, able to endure hardships and fight best can solve this problem with the highest efficiency." He said directly.
Two days later, an additional organization of the Mingguang Society appeared under the Department of Light.
Takes the meaning of "light of tomorrow".
The Mingguang Society's membership criteria only accept the poorest and those who have endured the most hardships. All of them are bitter and hateful, and they can even faint at the grievance meeting.
For such a person, coupled with three taels of silver and a reincarnation pill, the effect of remembering only one name in the previous life in the next life is enough to do any earth-shattering thing.
The Mingguang Army was established.
After their establishment, they were not attacked by the imperial court because they went to the battlefield to fight against the enemy.
And they did not flee everywhere, but established their own government under the threat of the enemy.
This approach of the Mingguang Army created a barrier for the imperial court.
At the same time, it also gave hope to the Western Allied Forces.
…………
"Haha, it's true, their peasant uprising has appeared!" the coalition commander was ecstatic.
"Yes, they advocate sharing everything, eating food together, and wearing clothes together. This is a typical peasant uprising." The chief of staff followed.
These people had no idea what kind of behemoth they were about to face.
That is indescribable power.
"Their combat power is a bit too strong. I personally saw a soldier from the Mingguang Society holding a grenade and killing five of us!" An officer was a little worried.
"Yes, their tactics have improved so fast. It has only been two months. They are still in the adaptation period to the Dacheng imperial army, but their recruits have become very good veterans. They practice during the day and at night. They are really practicing to the point of vomiting blood.
If you have reached a certain level, you have to get up and practice." Another senior priest said worriedly.
In his opinion, only one fanatic believer out of ten thousand can reach that level.
As for the horror of fanatic believers, he, as a pastor, knows best.
Never offend them.
He felt that the prospect was not good, so he might as well find an opportunity to escape.
"Yes, their tactics are very flexible and decisive. They can often go out in groups of three to attack us, but we need at least 30 people to dare to go out."
"They are not afraid of death. They are very tenacious and well-equipped. Each of them carries hundreds of rounds of ammunition, a dozen grenades, and fried noodles. They are very sufficient."
"The Dacheng court only caused 350,000 casualties in the first half year, most of which were injuries; but in just three months, they brought us 120,000 casualties, and they like to capture prisoners and transform them. There are
After many people came back, they had already learned how to lead a group of people. When they went out, they met people from the Mingguang Society, and when they found it difficult to fight, they immediately ran away or surrendered..."
