Chapter 220 Is exempting people from corvée labor the ultimate goal? (1/2)



He has to take this seriously.

This concerns the entire world's population and whether they can fill their stomachs.

This is a matter of vital importance to people's livelihood for generations to come, and it cannot be compared to cement at all!

Therefore, as soon as Chi Qiaoyi finished speaking, he immediately stood up from the main seat, his eyes burning with intensity, and said:

"Is this true? Your sister has grown a new type of grain with an extremely high yield?"

Qin Mu, who was standing to the side, originally planned to wait until the second half of the year, after Chi Yu had given him something, before discussing this matter further.

He never expected that Chi Qiao would suddenly say these things.

Fearing that Fang Shizhong might suddenly have doubts about the origin of the seeds, he took a step forward and said:

"Sir, I know about this. I obtained the seeds by chance and gave them to Xiaoyu."

Although I did not see her plant them with my own eyes, I did taste them after they were grown.

Not only me, but also Ah Kai has experienced it.

Xiaoyu had mentioned this to me before, saying that because there were so few seeds, it was impossible to separate them.

But she promised me that she would definitely give me a batch in the second half of this year, and told me how to allocate it.

He even said that he would give some to the government office so that you could experiment on the official land.

All I can say right now is that it tastes good and is very filling.

Whether it's true or false, the adults will know in the second half of the year.

Shen Kai, standing next to Qin Mu, didn't speak, but he nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Fang Shizhong sat back down and looked at Qin Mu, asking:

“Amu, according to you, the seeds were given to you by you.”

So, this thing already existed in other places?

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be! If it existed elsewhere, it would have been reported to the imperial court long ago."

There's no news coming out right now, which means there isn't any.

To be honest, I got this seed by accident.

"Does Your Excellency still remember that around July or August, I sent people out to collect grain?"

Fang Shizhong knew what Qin Mu had asked him to do, and upon hearing this, he nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

Qin Mu continued, "Those things were gifts from the villagers in the villages under my jurisdiction in Wuning Prefecture when they collected grain."

It is said that the children dug them up from the mountain. There were only three or five of them. No one knows what they are or whether they are edible.

Because my men offered a high price when they bought the grain, the villagers gave them those three or five items as a bonus.

Upon hearing "Wuning Prefecture," Fang Shizhong looked at Qin Mu thoughtfully for a moment, then asked:

"Since you have this item, why give it to the Chi family instead of taking it to the government office and having someone try planting it on the official fields?"

If the crops were directly planted on government-owned land, the credit would have nothing to do with the Chi family.

He no longer needs to think about getting the other party's account banned.

Qin Mu decided to take the blame himself, and naturally, he had already prepared his explanation.

"As you probably know, Chi Ye from Chijia'ao is my brother."

Around the end of August or the beginning of September last year, he stayed overnight at my house and we drank together.

Later, he learned that his aunt had an accident, but since the city gates were already closed, he could only wait until the city gates reopened the next day before leaving the city.

Seeing that he was extremely anxious and couldn't sleep at night, I went in his place.

That's how I met Xiaoyu.

Later, she was in the postpartum period next door to my house, and that's how we got to know each other better.

Perhaps because Chijia'ao has never been able to grow much grain, she is quite interested in and persistent about farming.

I saw that she was worried about her people and wanted Chijia'ao to be able to grow food.

Seeing that he didn't know what the item was and that there were only a few of them, he thought about it for a moment and then gave it to her.

Fang Shizhong understood Qin Mu. Regardless of whether Qin Mu's words were true or false, since he had said so, he had to give him face.
