"With the Seed Crafting System upgraded to level 4, you can now craft Champa Rice Seeds.
Fastest update" The cheerful voice of the system elf sounded in Gongsun Bai's ears, which was tantamount to the sound of heaven.
Crafting conditions: 300 ordinary rice seeds, 10 armor coins, can be synthesized into a Champa rice seed.
After a few years, the seed synthesis system once again brought a huge surprise to Gongsun Bai.
It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, mainly planting rice, but the yield of rice at this time is very low, one mu or even less than 100 catties, and can only be planted for one season.
The emergence of Champa rice is a major revolution in the history of rice cultivation, second only to the emergence of hybrid rice.
Champa rice is a high-yielding, early-maturing, drought-tolerant rice variety produced in the Indochina Peninsula, which was originally introduced to China during the Song Dynasty and quickly spread in the Jiangnan region.
Champa rice is named after its place of origin, which is located in present-day south-central Vietnam.
Champa rice, also known as Zaohe or Zhanhe, is an early indica rice native to south-central Vietnam, and was first introduced to the Fujian region of China in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty.
According to ancient Chinese records, Champa rice has many characteristics.
One is "drought tolerance".
The second is strong adaptability, "born regardless of location".
Third, the growth period is short, only more than 50 days from planting to harvesting.
In 1011, Song Zhenzong sent an envoy to Fujian to take Zhancheng rice due to drought and lack of water in the Jianghuai and Liangzhejiang regions, as many as 30,000 Hu, which were promoted in the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and Liangzhejiang regions, and ordered the transshipment envoy to post the post of the list "Rice is longer than that of China, the ear is long and without mang, the grain difference is small, and it is born regardless of the place."
"Its ploughing is only to break the block, and it is no longer easy to go deep, but to plant in the field, and not to move the seedlings.
After planting, drought does not seek water, waterlogging does not dredge, there is no dung soil, and it is not tired, and it is left to the sky.
"The characteristics of drought tolerance and waterlogging resistance of Champong rice may be formed in this specific natural environment and extensive farming methods, for the vast and sparsely populated Jiangnan, extensive planting improves the efficiency of planting, originally a person must intensively cultivate and plant one acre of time, so extensive planting can be planted two or three acres.
Coupled with its strong adaptability, most of the land along the coast is sandy soil, this soil is not suitable for storing water, in case of drought, those rice varieties with a long growing period will have a large area of failure, and the adaptability of Champa rice, so that the land that can be planted can also be increased, of course, there are many dry land, can also be planted Champa rice.
Under many double effects, the area under rice cultivation has been greatly increased, and naturally the yield of rice can also be greatly increased.
In addition, the yield per mu of Champa rice can be much higher than that of previous rice, even if it is planted in rough cultivation and barren land.
The most advantageous thing is that the production cycle of Champa rice is short, and double cropping rice can be planted, which is equivalent to doubling the yield.
It is precisely because of the cultivation and popularization of Champa rice that the rice output in the south has increased substantially, so the economic center of the whole country has gradually become difficult to move, so that there is "Suhu is ripe, the world is full", and Jiangnan has become a rich land, gradually surpassing the north.
Potatoes are grown in dry land, and rice is planted in paddy fields, and these two high-yield crops in the south of the Yangtze River may surpass the Central Plains in a few decades.
The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of the North and South of Jingzhou increased Gongsun Bai's armor coins by more than 200,000.
At present, Gongsun Bai spent 150,000 soldiers and armor coins to synthesize 15,000 rice seeds, which were planted in the paddy fields near the temporary palace in Changsha in the spring of the following year, and were carefully cared for.
At this rate, 15,000 seedlings will appear in one month, and then they will be bred in the spring planting season, and in just two months, more than one million rice seeds will be produced.
If this is carried out, the entire south of the Yangtze River will be planted with Zhancheng rice, and the output of rice will also be greatly increased.
In the spring of 209 AD, Gongsun Bai, who had just occupied the entire territory of Jingzhou, was not in a hurry to attack Jiangdong, but to consolidate the fruits of victory and consolidate his rule in Jingzhou.
Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who have extremely high political value, have been entrusted with important tasks.
There are also five brothers known as the five constants of the Ma family, all of whom were reused by Gongsun Bai: Ma Liang's political value was as high as 92 and he was appointed as the Taishou of Jiangxia County; Although Ma Tan's intelligence reached 89, Gongsun Bai remembered the loss of the street pavilion in history, ignored his intelligence value and took his political value of 81, and appointed him as the Taishou of Nanjun; The other three brothers were also appointed to the positions of county magistrate or prefectural magistrate, respectively.
Jiang Wan, who has a political value of 93, was not taken away by Liu Bei because he was still young, and was appointed by Gongsun Bai as the Taishou of Changsha County, while Fei Wei, who has a political value of 90 and is still growing, was also appointed as the chief historian, becoming the youngest county guard and long history of Dayan, which became a good story for a while.
In addition to the cultivation and promotion of Champa rice, which was still in the pipeline, Dayan officials began to spare no effort to carry out economic development in Jingzhou.
The promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes has made two more high-yield crops in Jiangnan, which can be eaten by cooking porridge or rice with potatoes and sweet potatoes, which can satisfy hunger and be delicious, and have become the favorite of the people in Jiangnan.
In the land south of the Yangtze River, long-term cultivation does not talk about slash-and-burn farming, but due to the lack of livestock and suitable agricultural tools, relying on pure manual digging and cultivation, the efficiency is extremely low, and a laborer cannot plant a few acres of land in a busy farming season.
After Gongsun Bai occupied Jingzhou, a large number of high-quality and inexpensive quyuan plows, keel waterwheels and a large number of steel-filled tools poured in, which greatly improved the efficiency of farming; In addition, cattle and horses and other livestock from Kansai, the desert and other places transported to the south through the Central Plains are no longer as expensive as before, and many ordinary people can buy them, which further improves the efficiency of farming for the people in the south.
The improvement of cultivation efficiency has also greatly increased the planting area of Jingzhou, especially in the land of Jingnan, which was originally vast and sparsely populated, and many wastelands were uncultivated, but now there are various agricultural tools and livestock dumping with high quality and low prices, and the planting area has increased by more than 50% in half a year compared with previous years.
The promotion of cotton planting has also made the people of Jiangnan have an artifact to survive the winter and keep out the cold.
Although the south of the Yangtze River is hot in summer and autumn, the cold weather in winter is also extremely cold, and the cold in the south is different from the cold in the north, and the wet and cold in the south is more uncomfortable than the dry and cold in the north, so although the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is short, it is not better than the north, and there are not a few people who freeze to death every year.
The introduction and planting of cotton made it possible for the people to wear cotton clothes and cover quilts in winter, and their ability to withstand the cold was naturally greatly increased.
Of the nearly 400,000 troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, except for some elite soldiers, most of the military horses practiced the tuntian system to be self-sufficient and reduce the burden on the people.
A large amount of rice, wheat, potatoes and other grains were transferred from the north to connect to the south of the Jinan, but in just a few months, the land of Jingzhou was prosperous, and the voice of Gongsun Bai's praise of virtue could be heard everywhere.
Even the hardest Jiangnan scholars had to keep their mouths shut.
And the big families in the south of the Yangtze River choose to take refuge in Emperor Yan, or make a fortune in business, or become officials, where do they care whether the surname Liu or Gongsun is in this world, and it is the king that the interests of the family are not damaged.
Just when the governance and development of Jingzhou was in full swing, the preparations for the conquest of Jiangdong were also proceeding in an orderly manner.
After the cultivation of the fields in the busy agricultural season, the Yan army and horses were all put into training, especially the training of the navy.

In addition, Gongsun Bai began to train two other secret weapons.
On the bank of the Hanshui River, the willows are green and green, and the smoke and rain are misty, which is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
Gongsun Bai wore a hat on his head and wore a tiger skin, standing on top of a fighting ship, behind him, Wu Ming led dozens of tiger ben to crowd behind him, several of them carried several large baskets of slow, yellow corn.
The river is surging, rolling eastward, the drizzle falls on the water surface, splashes one by one, the air is full of moist water vapor, there are still fishing boats coming and going on the river surface in the distance, and the fishing song is heard from time to time, which is particularly pleasant and loud.
Gongsun Bai squinted his eyes, looked at the wide water, and suddenly put his finger in the water, and whistled, and the sharp whistle spread throughout the small half of the river.
At first, there was a circle of splashes everywhere on the surface of the river, and gradually the splashes became denser and denser, bigger and bigger, and then the river surface within a radius of tens of meters before the fighting ship was densely splashed, and if you looked carefully, you could see that under the surface of the water was a dense red or silver white shadow, which was actually a huge carp, not to mention more than a catty.
In the eyes of Wu Ming and the others on the fighting ship, they only saw carp spitting blisters, and they couldn't help but feel a rush in their hearts, and they really wanted to come to a big net to catch a net and stew a pot of delicious carp soup, of course, this can only be thought, without Gongsun Bai's consent, this is tantamount to disobeying the order, which is a big crime.
In Gongsun Bai's eyes and ears, there was a different scene, what he saw was the dense carp, scrambling to report to him what he had seen and heard.
"Master, I found a black and fierce monster under the water, specifically attacking small fish, and launched an attack on us, fortunately we have a lot of fish, so we beat it away, this monster may be unfavorable to the master, and please ask the master to instruct, we will form a large force to destroy it."
"Fool, that's a black fish, it's not a monster, the owner is a god, how can you be afraid of that black fish."
"Master, I saw a large turtle in the water, three or four times my size, probably a detective sent by the enemy."
"Master, I saw a strange fishing boat on the water" The thousands of carp, the sound waves kept spreading, so angry that Gongsun Bai almost vomited blood: "How many times have you said it, let you report to the captain first, and then your captain will report to me, who made you speak?"
The group of carp that kept spitting up the blisters finally quieted down, and then dozens of extremely fat, at least a dozen catties of big carp, began to report to Gongsun Bai what they had seen and heard, nothing more than seeing a big boat with strange whereabouts, seeing an unknown water monster and so on.
That's right, these carps are water spies trained by Gongsun Baixin The so-called fish memory is only 7 seconds is pure nonsense, Gongsun Bai found through experiments that the carp's memory can be retained for at least three months, and continuous communication can keep the carp's memory continuous, becoming Gongsun Bai's underwater secret agent, its effect is far stronger than that of water ghosts.
After the report, the system in Gongsun Bai's mind issued an instruction to prepare for the meal.
There was another strange scene on the river, and I saw thousands of carp suddenly leap out of the water in unison, cut arcs in the air, and then fell into the water.
Left one, right one, one before one, one back down, only after doing the exercise can you have food, this is the rule before eating.
After more than a month of training, most of the carp were able to do the same steps, even diving at a similar height.
Gongsun Bai nodded with satisfaction, and shouted to Wu Ming and the others behind him: "Feed" Whew Handfuls of corn were sprinkled on the surface of the river like raindrops, and the carp scrambled to open their mouths to eat, but there were few scrambles, and those who were full in front of them sank into the water on their own, giving up their place to other fish.
