Datang: A Technological Power

Spring goes and autumn comes. In the blink of an eye, it is already autumn, and the cold wind makes people shiver.

Three months have passed since Li Shimin ascended the throne. Strangely enough, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he announced to the world that he was looking for a young man named Xu Chen among the people.

However, even if the whole country was searching, there was no clue, as if Xu Chen had evaporated.

In this regard, Li Shimin did not give up. He stepped up his efforts to find him again, and even proposed that whoever found Xu Chen would be made an earl!

As soon as this statement came out, the whole country was boiling. Search teams were organized in various places to search for people day and night. One by one,"Xu Chen" was sent to Chang'an City for inspection.

However, the real Xu Chen was lying on a straw saddle in an inconspicuous village outside Chang'an City at this time, holding a rice ear in his mouth, looking leisurely and contented.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he had been staying in this small Qinglong Village, living a comfortable rural life.

To him, the wealth and glory given by Li Shimin was nothing at all. It was better than working hard in the village.���It’s good to live a life of rest and rest!

""Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen!"

Several voices came from the east. Xu Chen turned his head slightly and saw a group of men, women, old and young, with their families, coming over. The leader was Grandpa Luo, the village chief of Qinglong Village.

Several children ran over first and kowtowed to Xu Chen.

"Hey, Da Zhuang and Er Ya, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Xu Chen quickly jumped down from the straw bed, helped the children up, and asked in confusion,

"Brother Chen, Daddy said that you are the benefactor of the whole village, let us kowtow to you first!"

Erya pulled Xu Chen's pants and said in a baby voice.

Several children beside him also nodded repeatedly, looking at Xu Chen with a strong admiration in their eyes.

"I also want to become a great hero like Brother Chen in the future!"

"I also want!"

"I want one too!"

A group of children surrounded Xu Chen and kept shouting, making him a little overwhelmed.

"Haha, Xiaochen, I really don't know how to thank you. This winter is not easy. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many people in our village would starve to death!"

Grandpa Luo, the village chief, came up with a cane, bowed to Xu Chen, and said with a smile

"Yes, it’s so cold this year even though it’s just the beginning of autumn. I don’t know how to get through the winter!"

"Thanks to the rice Xiaochen gave us, my kid always complains that he is not full, today we will give him enough to eat!"

The farmers and wives behind him also laughed and talked at once, with a sense of joy of a good harvest.

"Everyone is so happy, I guess the hybrid rice I gave you was successfully planted, right?"

Looking at the simple smiles of the villagers, Xu Chen felt warm in his heart and smiled as well, saying,

"How about it, how many kilograms can be produced per mu?"

This hybrid rice technology is very useful even in the 21st century, because even in the 21st century, there are still people who do not have enough food to eat, or even cannot get any food!

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, it was too common for the common people to have no food to eat, and to be even hungrier with each meal! The villagers worked from dawn to dusk, and at the end of the year, they were still at risk of starving to death. These faces, with pale and thin faces, were all malnourished for many years!

Even the children with the best treatment were extremely thin and were named"Da Zhuang"."、""Erzhuang" can only be a good wish.

But now it's different. Xu Chen unlocked the"hybrid rice" planting technology given by the system and immediately tried it in the village. This year is the first year. It looks like the harvest is good?

"It's a miracle! Xiaochen, the hybrid rice you gave me is simply a miracle!"

Grandpa Luo tremblingly took out a booklet from his arms and said excitedly,

"In previous years, the best harvest from one mu of our farm was only 300 kilograms, but this year, the yield from one mu of farm was as high as……"

At this point, Grandpa Luo rolled his eyes and almost fainted. The men and women behind him immediately supported him and helped him breathe. It took a while for him to recover.

Everyone looked at Grandpa Luo with hope, waiting for his answer.

Although they had seen the harvest, they still wanted to know how much the hybrid rice field could produce!

"Grandpa Luo, please tell me quickly!"

Da Zhuang looked at Grandpa Luo and said anxiously. He couldn't wait to know.

"Da Zhuang, let Grandpa Luo calm down first."

Xu Chen waved his hand, thought for a moment, then smiled and said,

"If my guess is correct, the yield per mu of hybrid rice should be more than 2,000 kilograms, right?" In the 21st century, it is common for hybrid rice to yield more than 1,000 kilograms per mu. Coupled with systematic improvements, the yield of more than 2,000 kilograms per mu is still his conservative estimate!

"Xiaochen, how did you know?!"

Grandpa Luo widened his eyes and said in shock,

"I asked the village teacher to calculate, the yield of one mu of land is about 2,500 catties, which is eight times more than in previous years!

"What? Oh my god, 2,500 pounds... How is this possible?"

"I, I must be dreaming... 2,500 kilograms of food, that's enough to feed my family for several years!"

"The key point is that this is only the output of one acre. Our whole village has hundreds of acres of land.……"

The villagers present were all shocked by this astronomical number and were speechless.

They looked like they were knocked unconscious by a pie in the sky and could not come back to their senses for a long time.

Everyone had the same thought in their mind: go home today, cook more food, and eat enough!

""Haha, it seems to be more than I expected. It seems that the land in our Qinglong Village is still very fertile!"

Xu Chen laughed heartily after hearing this.

2,500 kilograms, this number has already satisfied him, and this hybrid rice has been systematically improved again, and it has become a bit wild. Even in the extremely harsh environment in the wild, it can thrive!

If it is promoted nationwide and farmers across the country are allowed to reclaim wasteland, the grain output in this year will be amazing!

The key is that hybrid rice has no ability to reproduce. One seed can only cultivate one hybrid rice. In this way, Xu Chen is the only one in the world who has such technology, which is exclusively used by the Tang Dynasty. Other countries cannot steal it even if they want to.

"Xiaochen, it's all thanks to you. Without you, how could we have a chance to have enough food? A little thought, not respect……"

Grandpa Luo looked at Xu Chen with respect, as if he was looking at a god. He waved his hand and ordered,

"Bring it up!"

"If you have anything to give, please bring it up too!"

The next second, Xu Chen saw flocks of chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep, as well as baskets of eggs and duck eggs, as well as vegetable oil, fish... and even a cow was brought over!

Xu Chen:"……"
