In mid-September, the wheat harvest in Liu County was finally completed.
The older children took the younger children to collect in the endless fields.
Each ear of wheat was picked up by them.
Baili Xi stood on the ridge of the field, watching from a distance.
"Your Highness..." He asked Yingdao beside him: "What is the yield per mu of Liu County this year?"
"The current estimate should be a little higher than last year!" Yingdao said: "It should be more than three stones..."
Baili Xi swallowed his saliva.
Three stones? Or wheat?
"How much land does Liu County have now?" he asked.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand hectares!" Yingdao said, "However, more than 100,000 hectares will not be sown until next year!"
"There are still about 30,000 hectares of land that will be left fallow this year. It's time to plant soybeans and pasture..."
"There are also about 10,000 hectares of vegetable fields!"
"In other words, there are almost two hundred thousand hectares of land used to grow food..." Baili Xi said: "There are two million mortals in Liu County, right?"
"Exceeded!" Yingdao said: "The current statistics are 520,000 households and more than 2.34 million people..."
"Of course, children, women, and the elderly are also included in the statistics!"
"If we only count the young and strong, it would be around one million..."
Baili Xi took a deep breath.
One million young men can cultivate 200,000 hectares?
An average of five laborers can cultivate one hectare of land?
The Qin State is probably at this level.
But the problem is...
The people of Qin basically planted rough crops and harvested little.
What to weed? What to water? What to fertilize?
Few people have time to take care of it, and most of them deal with it hastily.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t!
The farmers in Qin are too poor!
All their strength has been exhausted in spring plowing and autumn harvest!
Normally, if you don't even have enough food in your stomach, you still have to deal with the land, and He Bo's exploitation, how can you have the energy to take care of the land?
The land of Qin State is also too barren.
From one acre of land, a good harvest is only one stone, but under normal circumstances, it is only half a stone.
If there is insufficient rainfall, you will not even be able to recover your money.
Where is it like here?
"Your Highness..." Baili Xi asked: "What should our Qin country do to be like this place?"
He looked at the farmers who were sifting the newly harvested wheat for the first time in the distant drying field under the scorching sun.
These mortal farmers are strong, physically strong, and full of energy.
Many people even have rudimentary martial arts energy and blood lingering around them.
In the Qin State, such a mortal has met the conscription standards and can become a regular soldier of the Qin State!
Yingdao looked at Bailixi and replied: "First of all, we need to eliminate the land that squeezes and exploits all living beings, the mountain gods, the river uncle..."
"Let these priests be elected by all living beings!"
"Then we need to eliminate discrimination and make all living beings equal!"
"Finally, we have to let everyone make their own village rules and township covenants that meet their needs!"
Baili Xi listened, shook his head and sighed: "Qin can't learn from this!"
If the Qin State learns, just for the first item, it will face heavy pressure at home and abroad.
The gods of the mountains, the land, and the river princes are either from the public clan or are the officials of the Qin State, the ancestors of the feudal lord.
Abolition of these privileges is tantamount to forcing everyone from top to bottom of the Qin State to rebel.
It is also equivalent to giving an excuse for the eastern countries to intervene in Qin's internal affairs.
Not to mention other things.
"No!" Yingdao overflowed with a smile: "Qin can learn, and must learn!"
Baili Xi looked at the young Gongsun.
He listened to Gongsun Dao: "When I return to the country after completing my studies, I will definitely return to the country from Liu County, carrying the decree of Tianzun, and leading hundreds and thousands of comrades back to the country..."
"At that time, inside and outside Yongdu, those who follow me will live, and those who oppose me will die!"
"For the common people of Qin and for the great cause of the world!"
Yingdao rubbed his hands: "Anyone who dares to rebel against me is a thief!"
Baili Xi swallowed his saliva, and bowed slightly in front of the high-spirited Gongsun: "Then, Your Highness, do you have anything to say, do you want me to take you back to Yongdu?"
Yingdao nodded: "I have sorted out the pictures of waterwheels and windmills used in Shashui today!"
"Doctor Baili can take them back and present them to the grandfather and father-in-law!"
"First of all, let's use these two things to alleviate the suffering of our people!"
"No!" Baili Xi bowed his hands in bow.
He was born as a mortal, so he would naturally side with the mortals.
Moreover, what he saw before him shocked and convinced him.
"The doctor can only explain the situation here clearly to the grandfather and father-in-law..."
"If others ask, don't tell me!" Yingdao ordered.
"Nuo!" Baili Xi handed over his hand: "I know the importance!"
"From now on, we will take the Han River and detour to the Chu Kingdom to come here!" Yingdao said again.
"promise!"
…………………………
Chu State, Yingdu.
This year’s autumn harvest has also been completed.
When the King of Chu looked at the reported yield, his brows almost danced with laughter.
"Okay, okay!"
"This year, the rice yield outside Yingdu has increased to one and a half stone per mu!"
“This year’s incense revenue has also increased by 30% compared to last year!”
"Our country is about to prosper!"
"Four thousand years ago, Qi Henggong used the magic whip to intimidate the capital of Ying..."
"I will never forget it for a day!"
The King of Chu stood up and looked at Ling Yin Dou Ziwen and Prince Shang Chen in front of him.
"I will keep this hatred in my heart!" King Chu said: "Now, the contemporary Duke of Qi wants to regain his hegemony!"
"I can't tolerate him!"
"We must lead the army in the Northern Expedition and march to Linzi to repay the shame of the past!"
Dou Ziwen and Shang Chen looked at each other, then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, my brother sent a letter back from Liu County..."
"My brother asked me to imitate Liujun in Shouchun and grant the Shouchun Mountain God, He Bo and the land to all living beings to govern themselves!"
"I have discussed it with the Crown Prince..."
"This matter is very promising, please give me your permission!"
The King of Chu didn't quite understand what he was saying.
What does this matter have to do with his Northern Expedition to the Central Plains?
Then he looked at the merchant and asked, "Isn't the prince always opposed to it?"
"What?" The old wolf king instinctively became vigilant: "Have the Crown Prince and Ling Yin reached an agreement?"
The crown of King Chu gradually became blurred.
Countless feathers sprouted from under his royal robe.
Although Lao Wang is old, his strength is still there!
He is still the undisputed strongest man in Chu State!
When the merchants saw this, they quickly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Father, please calm down!"
"The matter is really serious. I have been discussing with Ling Yin for many days, so I have to break the rules and join forces with Ling Yin..."
"Now the palace has been sealed, and the Yingdu formation left by our ancestors has been opened, covering the inside and outside..."
King Chu's face suddenly changed.
One, two, three...
Three golden birds and beasts grew from his neck.
Three beaks screamed: "My son, has your Nine Phoenix bloodline awakened?"
"Then let your father weigh your weight!"
This is the tradition of the Chu royal family.
As long as the new king challenges the old king, the relationship between father and son and brotherhood will be cut off immediately.
Only one person can walk out of the palace alive to receive the worship and cheers of all the people.
"No!" Shang Chen kowtowed: "How dare you, my son, to confront your father?"
“It’s really no help!”
"The letter sent back by General Dou uses the 'Demon Saint Rune' given to the ancestors by the Fire Phoenix Empress when she descended to earth in the past!"
As King Chu listened, the shadow of the demon saint faded from his body.
He sat down and asked: "But is there any evidence for the origin of Immortal Lord Liujun?"
"The general didn't mention it in his letter!" the merchant replied.
Ling Yin Dou Ziwen also knelt down and bowed: "Wang and Sun's letters over the years have not mentioned anything about the origin, feet and characteristics of the Liujun Immortal..."
King Chu's expression gradually changed as he listened.
Then he listened to his son say: "General Dou only said one thing in his letter..."
"The battle for orthodoxy should be done quickly rather than slowly!"
King Chu's expression completely changed.
"What do you mean?"
"My father (the king) is wise and should know the wishes of his son and ministers..." The two of them kowtowed together.
"My country of Chu is located in the south, guarding the barbaric land. The ancestors of the past generations have cut down thorns and exposed the frost and dew, just for today!"
"Inherit the destiny of heaven, revitalize our country, accept its lineage, shine in all directions, bless our ancestors, and extend to our descendants!"
The King of Chu swallowed his saliva and asked: "How can you confirm that the one from Liu County is the one who can pass on the Taoism and destiny..."
"master?!"
Dou Ziwen said: "Actually, I have already made a guess..."
"It has been more than a year since I returned..."
"I'm making innuendo day and night, but I dare not say a word..."
"However……"
"I can see windmills and waterwheels outside Yingdu every day..."
"Your Majesty, please think carefully..."
"If you don't use Taoism or magical powers, things will rotate on their own..."
"Think again, Xu Min chooses his own mountain god, He Bo, land..."
"Order all surnames to stand on their own feet and govern their own villages..."
"Who else can do such a thing?"
King Chu lowered his head, the ancient legends echoing in his heart.
Tao follows nature, doing things without doing anything.
"Is it really true?" King Chu's heart was pounding.
Dou Ziwen said: "Even if it's not, it should be not far behind!"
"That's it..." King Chu clenched his fist and looked at his son.
He said softly: "If this is the case, I should be Uncle Zhou Xi!"
Zhou Xibo is Ji Li!
"You should be King Wen!" he said, pointing to the merchant.
"My grandson will be King Wu!" King Chu said calmly.
Although, the fate of the ancestors of Zong Zhou was extremely tragic.
However……
But there is still an emperor who reigns high in the sky.
Inherit the destiny, accept the orthodoxy...
This is the highest pursuit of all races and nations!
If the Taoism is established, at worst it will be like Zong Zhou, enjoying hundreds of thousands of years of good fortune and receiving the great power of heaven and earth!
It can even be compared to the Human Emperor Huiyuan.
The earth rules the heavens and proves its great power, illuminating the three realms. Immortals and gods correct changes and speak out laws to follow.
Of course King Chu was tempted.
Of course he is willing to gamble.
Of course, King Chu also knew the rules.
He looked at Shang Chen and Dou Ziwen and said: "The mountain gods above and below Shouchun, Di Tu, He Bo..."
"I have to find a place to settle..."
“It’s good to follow the country!”
After all, it was the King of Chu who was very scheming.
He knew that he couldn't make too much noise, otherwise he would become a dog instead of a tiger.
"Send the order and ask all the princes, mountain gods and river gods from all over the country to come to Yingdu!"
"I will march south again!"
"Attack and destroy Suiguo!"
"Use the land of Suiguo to settle the people of Shouchun and others..."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Dou Ziwen said.
"My father is wise!" The merchant was also overjoyed!
