"Only two generations can grow up?"

The rest of the people were stunned when they heard the words. After thinking about it carefully, chills came out of their hearts, and they felt extremely terrifying inside. \\　(23)(wx)

In the end, Zhang Kaiyong suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and asked: "Why is this?" From Qiu Yan's previous words, he guessed that the seeds of these crops should be cultivated by Qiu Yan, so he asked this question.

In Zhang Kaiyong's heart, he was surprised by Qiu Yan's wide range of interests, but what made him even more frightened was the scheming behind the three generations, which made him feel afraid of Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan could tell what they were thinking from the expressions of everyone, and he didn't take it seriously. He said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, the key reason why the seeds are in this situation is that they are not naturally formed, but are grafted, Hybridization naturally hinders natural reproduction. In addition, the swamp soil and harsh environment make the soil barren and the nutrients needed for crop growth are not rich. Therefore, in the process of cultivating seeds, soil from other places must be borrowed to advance nutrients. Get involved."

No one here knew how shocking Qiu Yan's seemingly simple words would be to a farmhouse.

Zhang Kaiyong thought thoughtfully and asked: "That is to say, the soil of the Five Marshes alone is not enough to support the growth of these crops?"

"It can be easily understood this way," Qiu Yan nodded. "If you plant these crops for the first time, you can have a good harvest. If you use the seeds derived from them to plant the second generation, the harvest will be only 30% of the previous time, or even less. If you use the third generation again, It has been proven that the seeds produced in the second generation will hardly survive when planted in the third generation. Only a small amount can grow, and most of them will not yield a harvest. "

Hearing this, Yang Dingyuan couldn't help but ask: "Is it really because the soil in the swamp is not fertile enough that the inheritance of these seeds cannot exceed three generations?"

After hearing this question, many people came back to their senses. They all secretly thought that Yang Dingyuan was talking too much. No one cared whether it was true or not. As long as they could implement it, they would naturally know its meaning.

Qiu Yan smiled and said nothing.

As for Zhang Kaiyong, he began to worry that this conversation might be accidentally revealed by the generals present and cause trouble, but then he thought about it, if it was true as Qiu Yan said. Seed inheritance cannot be changed by manpower, and the people in the marsh have nothing to complain about. As the military commander of Wuxin, he certainly knows what kind of difficulties the people in the marsh will go through. When it comes to a critical moment, even though there are tigers in the mountains, he still has to ask for help. Travel to Tiger Mountain. The last life-saving straw will be grasped very tightly.

After thinking about this, I still have questions because Qiu Yan was talking about farm tools at the beginning. But in a blink of an eye, it turned to the seeds, and there was obviously a connection between them.

After thinking about it, Zhang Kaiyong couldn't help but ask: "Bachelor, I wonder what the seeds are related to the farm equipment?"

"Seeds need to be cultivated with farm tools," Qiu Yan replied with a smile, seeing the other person's face showing surprise. Then he continued, "However, from the seeds, you should be able to see that after the seeds are distributed, the harvest will be harvested for one season, but we will continue to supply the next year. There is no need to worry about being escaped from their control, so the same goes for the farm tools."

"How do the farm tools look like?" Others became more and more puzzled by Qiu Yan's remarks.

Qiu Yan said: "If we really want to farm, there will be a huge demand for iron farm tools. The current small workshops of the Mo people alone cannot meet the demand. We might as well let the government come forward to organize production, distribute farm tools, and provide cattle for farming." , This can ensure their annual harvest.”

Qi Xin thought for a while and expressed his worries: "But in this way, even if there is unified coordination by the government, ordering, sending and receiving farm tools every day, there will inevitably be oversights. As long as the people in the marsh are intentional and steal one or two items every day, Over time, isn’t it uncontrollable?”

Qiu Yanze said: "Every day, we can know the population and send and receive farm tools. We may not be able to prevent theft, but we should not stop eating because of choking. Since we want to quell the swamp, we must be prepared to take risks. However, in actual implementation, As long as you control it properly, the risk can be minimized.”

Having said this, he lightly knocked on the table and lowered his voice: "Why did the Swamp people rebel? In fact, it was for survival. It was also because of this that the tribal leaders were able to rally the team. What's the point of taking desperate risks in order to survive? From this point of view, Think about it, the people in the swamp are willing to rebel even if they steal farm tools, but from another perspective, if the people in the swamp can have enough food and clothing, how many of them will go into battle for the leader's ambition? "After experiencing the stability of farming, how many people are willing to return to the bloody world?"

After hearing this opinion, everyone looked at each other and felt that it made sense.

Then, Qiu Yan didn't wait for everyone to digest, and continued: "In addition, I don't think it is a bad thing for them to steal farm tools. In fact, it would be most ideal if they could only steal some weapons sporadically."

"What do you mean by this?" Zhang Kaiyong became more and more confused.

Qiu Yan glanced at him and said: "Allowing the forging development of the Swamp people, coupled with sufficient food rations, will allow their forging technology to slowly get on the right track. However, if their tribe can only rely on stealing Central Plains equipment or relying on Central Plains supplies, We can use the finished ironware from the Central Plains to attack their weak primitive foundry industry and easily kill their smelting technology!"

"So that's it!" Hearing this, everyone took a breath again. Their eyes looking at Qiu Yan were full of inexplicable awe, and their hearts trembled.

However, it was Zhang Kaiyong who expressed his doubts: "Even if there is supply and theft from the Central Plains, there are still many inconveniences. As long as the people in the swamp still have demand, private smelting workshops will definitely breed. The situation in the swamp is complicated and it is inevitable to prevent it."

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "Counterfeiting is inevitable. To develop a technology, in addition to studying it yourself, reference and imitation are also essential. This can avoid many detours, avoid duplication of work, and improve the principles and structure." The time spent was reduced and concentrated on craftsmanship, formulas and materials. During the period of the various kingdoms, King Lingwu was riding and shooting in a similar spirit. The road often takes years, so copying and borrowing can be regarded as a shortcut.”

"If that's the case, then..." After hearing this, Zhang Kaiyong finally understood what the so-called government organization meant, "That's right, just as the bachelor said before, there are always risks. It is difficult for these small workshops to become extinct, but after all, they cannot be eliminated. Compared with government organizations.”

Qiu Yanze said: "Although they cannot be exterminated, their living space can be squeezed. This requires the use of discourse control. No matter whether it is the northern border or the swamp, they all agree that Da Rui is a place where humanity gathers. We can do it out of thin air." Create some moral thresholds, such as degrading the counterfeiting and borrowing of technologies and things, so that people will regard them as immoral, talentless, and incompetent. Over time, they will automatically reject them internally, and eventually everyone will cry out for beatings. , Gradually it becomes difficult to make progress.”

"Oh? Let the swamp people naturally reject it?" Zhang Kaiyong suddenly felt that his thoughts were much smoother, and finally he exclaimed, "If we use the bachelor's method, we may be able to eliminate the swamp problem forever."

On the side, Qiu Yan said again: "These are just tricks and ploys. In terms of marching, it is a surprise attack. Only by supplementing it with the regular army can we truly quell the situation."

"Where are you coming from?" Zhang Kaiyong asked humbly at this time. He originally thought that Qiu Yan was in charge of seizing soldiers in Jiannan and might not have any clue about how to appease the people in the marsh, but after listening to what he said, he found out who he was. I was already confident.

Qiu Yan also did not hide it secretly: "It should be supplemented by royal education, recruiting scholars and scholars, and distributing farm tools and cattle. The warehouses should be solid and aware of honor and disgrace. When the people in the marsh are freed from the burden, it is because the mind is empty. At that time, especially when the younger generation of people grew up, when the crops were mature, they had not experienced the hardship and poverty of their ancestors. They only saw abundant harvests and food and clothing, and they would take it for granted as the right principles of heaven and earth. With a little guidance, they can Let them receive education like children in the Central Plains.”

"Kingly enlightenment..." After hearing these words, Zhang Kaiyong remembered that the person in front of him also had an identity. He was the founder of a school of doctrine and a master of humanity!

On the other side, while everyone was still chewing on what Qiu Yan said, soldiers entered the hall and reported to everyone present that the messenger from the Marsh people had arrived and was waiting outside.

Hearing this, Zhang Kaiyong turned to Qiu Yan and said, "The Marsh people came at the right time, just in time to inform them of the bachelor's proposal."

Qiu Yan also nodded: "Not only should we inform them, but we should also hand over some seeds to this person and let him take them back."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kaiyong realized a problem and said: "To be honest, it is not easy to convince the people in the marsh to believe it. There are still many problems in it. At first, Shilang Tian tried to be friendly with the people in the marsh, but he still Didn’t gain their trust.”

When he talked about Tian Youqing with Qiu Yan, his tone was natural and not weird at all.

Qiu Yan replied: "There is no need to worry. Since the people from the Marsh have sent people here, they may have the intention to be friendly with Dali."

Zhang Kaiyong naturally disagreed with these words, but he was also thinking about the other party's purpose.

After thinking about it, he was about to let the swamp man in, but Qiu Yan waved his hand to stop him, and heard the latter say: "Before meeting the swamp man's envoy, we must first deal with our internal affairs and get rid of the traitor on both sides of the rat." Just catch them." As he spoke, his eyes swept over everyone.

"Huh?" Everyone who was seen by Qiu Yan had their hearts skipping a beat. They were still thinking about the meaning of his words. Qiu Yan had already called out two names——

"General Wu Qing, General Wu Quan, please come out. There is no need to hide anymore."

The two people who were named by Qiu Yan were stunned at first, and then looked confused. They both raised their fingers and pointed at themselves, asking: "Is Academician Qiu talking about our brothers? Are we two traitors? Are you kidding?"

While they were talking, the two stood up slightly and were about to defend themselves, but before they could make any move, Qiu Yan raised his hand to make a false grab!

boom!

The surging force surged past! (To be continued...)
