The wicked man knew that cultivating better rice seeds was not something that could be accomplished overnight; it required patience and perseverance. However, he firmly believed that as long as the methods were appropriate, over time, he would surely be able to cultivate more abundant and better rice seeds.
As the cold winds begin to blow, the farmland enters its winter rest period. Taking this opportunity, the wicked man reviews the gains and losses of the past year and prepares for large-scale planting next year.
He convened a meeting at the Grand Commandant's residence, where agricultural experts, Mohist craftsmen, water conservancy officials, and officials from various pilot counties gathered to discuss potential challenges and countermeasures for the coming year.
"Next year we'll have to plant ten times the amount of land as this year, things will only get harder," the wicked husband said bluntly.
"We must be fully prepared to ensure this goes smoothly."
During the gathering, everyone expressed their opinions and concerns. Finally, the wicked husband summarized several key points:
"Firstly, the selection of seeds must be meticulous. Good seeds are fundamental, and no oversight is permissible."
"Secondly, instruction must be meticulous. In every farming area, there must be someone skilled in this art to guide the villagers and teach them the correct planting methods."
Thirdly, all irrigation and agricultural tools must be readily available. Properly constructed ditches and convenient equipment will ensure twice the result with half the effort.
Fourthly, mentorship should be implemented. Each county should select respected and virtuous elder farmers as role models; if they perform well, others will naturally follow suit.
After the meeting, each department began intensive preparations according to their assigned tasks.
For Evil Fu, this agricultural reform was just the beginning. He already had a grander plan in mind—not only to improve rice, but also wheat, soybeans, and other important crops; not only to develop agriculture, but also animal husbandry and fisheries. He believed that through this series of agricultural reforms, Qin would surely become a true grain-producing power, and would never have to worry about famine again.
The wisdom of Grand Commandant Evil lies in this: the farming methods and cultivation techniques he brought from beyond the heavens were a force capable of changing the foundations of dynasties in this era.
He knew that the true foundation of a strong nation lay not in swords and spears, but in fertile fields and granaries full of grain.
Only when the people are well-fed and clothed can they live and work in peace and contentment, and only then can the country enjoy long-term stability and security.
Food is the foundation of a stable world!
