Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 439 Corn Seeds!

Of course, this is what the crown prince wants to see the most. The three disaster relief chiefs, this is definitely not something that can be solved by sending a minister casually.
Even at the very least, it is necessary to reach the level of Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and even the five powerful ministers of the Qin Palace are almost too close!

Moreover, in addition to disaster relief, other corresponding officials need to be dispatched, especially for disaster relief, which consumes a lot of money and food. The treasury is basically empty now, so where will the money for disaster relief come from?

Naturally, it will fall on the head of Prince Qin's mansion. As long as King Qin sends people to take over the three disaster relief officers and provide relief to the people of the three realms, Li Shimin's power in Chang'an City will definitely be greatly reduced. There is a great opportunity for relaxation!
"Hey, the system prompts that the host is asked to serve as the chief disaster relief officer of Datang Three Ways. The system will reward the host with corn seeds, enough to supply all the acres of land in Three Ways!"

After Li Mo went to the palace to rescue Wei Zheng, he stopped talking. Although the system had given him the task of rescuing the victims, Li Mo still knew how many irons he had and how many nails he could drive.

Now, although he relies on the Changwu County coal mines and the silver taels obtained from the house raids, he can support the operation of the entire Yanwang Mansion, but that's all. If it is not, then it is estimated that at most it can only stir up a small wave!

Therefore, the main force of disaster relief this time depends on King Qin Li Shimin, but what Li Mo never imagined was that the system would let him be the chief disaster relief officer at this time!

Of course, the rewards given by the system are also what Li Mo never expected!
Corn Seeds!

And it is enough corn seed to satisfy all the acres of land in the land of three ways!
Henan, Hebei, and Guanzhong, which occupy most of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, are important grain-producing areas in the Tang Dynasty.
Its arable land area may exceed hundreds of millions of mu, and only in this way can it bear more than [-]% of the tax of the Tang Dynasty!
However, under the influence of such a terrible drought and locust plague today, I am afraid that in the three lands, [-]% to [-]% of the area is absolutely barren, and the main crop in the three lands is mainly wheat, which is now in the mature stage At this time, the large-scale drought and locust plague will definitely have a fatal impact on the wheat harvest!

But if all the locusts can be removed in a short period of time, there will be time to replant corn seeds!

Of course, there is no corn in the Tang Dynasty now, and corn will not be introduced to China until the middle and late Ming Dynasty!

After corn was introduced into China, the common people were surprised to find that corn not only has a large yield and a fast growth period, but most importantly, it can be planted in time after the wheat is harvested, ushering in the second round of harvest!
Among the many crops, only wheat and corn can have such a flawless cooperation!
In October, the wheat seeds are sown, and in May of the next year, the wheat is mature and the harvest is complete!
Corn seeds can be sown in June, and wheat seeds can be sown after the corn is harvested in September when the corn is ripe!

There is no other two crops in the world that can complete such a perfect combination!
It can be said that as long as the corn seeds can be brought to Datang in advance, it will be a crucial part of Datang's current agricultural production!
Only when there is plenty of food can a sufficient population be bred,

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, why did China have a population of over 8000 million, and before that, whether it was the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the population at the peak of its national power was only [-] to [-] million, compared with the population of [-] to [-] million in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Nearly four or five times as much!
This is due to the sowing of corn and sweet potatoes during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which greatly increased food production, and only so much food production can support so many people!
"Looks like my plan is going to change again!"

Li Mo sighed in his heart. Originally, he wanted to participate in the disaster relief as a bystander. As long as he could contribute, he would be worthy of coming to Datang, and worthy of his status as the King of Yan, but Looking at it now, the disasters in these three realms, I still have to cheer up!

……

"Three Disaster Relief Chiefs..."

Li Shimin's eyes lingered on Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji. This time, there were three ways of disaster relief, and the most suitable candidates for disaster relief officers in the Qin Palace were Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji!
The two of them not only have absolute power and power, but also have enough skills to complete this disaster relief!

It's just that both Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling are Li Shimin's important arms in the court. If one of them goes to Sandao to relieve the disaster, the strength of the court will definitely be greatly weakened!
"Forget it, this time let Fang Xuanling..."

Li Shimin's eyes wandered back and forth more than ten times, and finally settled on Fang Xuanling!
But just when Li Shimin was about to open his mouth to recommend Fang Xuanling as the chief officer of the three disaster relief!
His Royal Highness King Yan suddenly asked:
"The three lands in Guanzhong, Henan, Hebei, suffered from drought and locust plagues, so who can tell me how many acres of land are affected in these three lands? How many people are affected by the disaster?"

Li Mo's sudden opening interrupted Li Shimin immediately, but Li Shimin didn't show any displeasure on his face, because His Royal Highness Qin Wang also wanted to know what Li Mo meant by asking this question at this moment.
"His Royal Highness, in the three lands of Guanzhong, Henan and Hebei in the Tang Dynasty, there are more than 500 million people and [-] million hectares of land! The drought and locust plague have seriously affected it. I estimate that nearly [-]% of the people will be affected, and more than [-]% of the land will be affected!"

Wei Zheng reacted quickly, and immediately told His Highness King Yan the exact data!

Li Mo couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, this time the drought and locust plague was really extraordinary, no wonder Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang could see the vision in the sky!

Tens of millions of people, more than 800% become victims of disasters, that is, there are 500 million victims, and more than 300% of [-] million hectares of fields are affected by disasters, that is, [-] million lands have no crops, and this is only Wei Zheng's estimate , the real situation is likely to be even more serious than this!
... (After the wheat is harvested and the corn is planted, there is no need to fight, that's how it is planted in the north!)
