Chapter 253
"Yi Qingchen! Tell me! Why did this happen!" Gao Shuang asked.

"This! This!" Yi Qingchen choked.Next to Yi Qingchen's two brothers, Wang Gang and Du Hu, Wang Gang spoke at this time: "Master Gao! These small countries are currently facing a large-scale famine!"

"Yes! There has been a drought recently, and the crops have failed! Look!" Another brother, Du Hu, took out grain ears from his pocket.

Gao Shuang picked it up and found that there were many grains in it.

This is japonica rice, which is planted in these small countries. Now, apart from Lu country, other neighboring small countries also plant japonica rice. However, other small countries are far less good than Lu country's water source geography.

This year is a drought year, and the yield of japonica rice is actually not high, resulting in a poor harvest of japonica rice, and the people of Li have no food to eat. Some people from other small countries gathered to occupy the mountains as kings and started robbery.

Gao Shuang said: "The problem lies in the seeds! If there are drought-resistant seeds and high-yielding seeds, then the people will have a bumper harvest and eat delicious rice! There will be no need to fall into the grass !"

"But, Brother Shuang! Not only are the small countries around the Sedum Dynasty, but our Sedum Dynasty is also planting japonica rice on a large scale. Currently, only two counties are suitable for japonica rice cultivation!"

"One is Bao'an County, and the other is Jiangnan County. Because these two counties have good water and soil, the yield in other counties is generally very low. There is a proverb circulating among the people: When the rice in Baoan Jiangnan is ripe, there will be enough granaries in the world!
But now, due to the large amount of japonica rice purchased by the imperial court in these two counties, the food in these two counties can only meet the food needs of the county, while the grain in so many other counties has no supply, leading to widespread famine! "

Mu Wanqing just walked in with a bowl of high-quality Longjing tea, and interrupted after hearing the conversation between Gao Shuang and the brothers.

Gao Shuang sighed, deeply worried about the Chinese food served by the people all over the world, he said to Mu Wanqing and Yi Qingchen: "Food is the most important thing for the people! If the food problem can't be solved, no matter how good our Jishitang is doing, it's meaningless! "

"Brother Shuang said, but what is the solution to solve the food problem? Could it be possible to develop a drought-resistant seed?" Wan'er and Yi Qingchen said.

"That's right! We just want to develop a new kind of drought-resistant seeds, so as to solve the food problem and solve the problem of food and clothing for the common people!" Gao Shuang continued.

Yi Qingchen and the two brothers shook their heads like rattles, and said: "Master! This is just talk, there is no way there is such a seed! Hey!" After finishing speaking, they sighed He took a deep breath and left.

Mu Wanqing looked at Gao Shuang with her talking eyes, and said to him softly:
"Brother Shuang! Your idea is very good! Even though it sounds unbelievable! Some are unlikely! But you can try everything! Maybe a miracle will happen! So, I still support you!"

"Wan'er! Thank you! With your words! I am more confident! I believe that the emperor will pay off those who work hard! I believe that through hard work, I will be able to develop a new rice seed!" Gao Shuang said.

"Well! Brother Shuang, come on! Wan'er wishes Brother Shuang a speedy success! Wan'er is out!" After Wan'er finished speaking, she left.
