The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 259: News: Autumn harvest is coming soon!

Once the hybrid rice yield is released, it will surely shock everyone.

But now they only have more than ten plants. Even if all of them are used as rice seeds, it is impossible to cover Ningzhou. Only by using the rice produced next year as rice seeds can they gradually cover the whole Daxia!

Before this, they could not afford any loss.

In Gu Jingzhi's opinion, the successful breeding of hybrid rice this time was somewhat due to luck. If this batch of future rice seeds were destroyed, when would they be able to be bred again?

Gu Jingzhi couldn't afford to gamble, nor did he allow others to gamble.

Not to mention what would happen if the alien races knew, Gu Jingzhi didn't even believe these people from Da Xia.

Fortunately, these officials who followed ** were all farmers' sons who could stand the test. Only officials from farmers' families knew the importance of food to the people.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi's serious attitude, those officials, including **, nodded solemnly and promised not to reveal a single word until hybrid rice was fully promoted.

Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi finally felt relieved. He said, "Before the autumn harvest, I will send people to secretly station here. You all just wait for the rice to mature. Next year will definitely be a year for the history books!"

"In other words, your names will be remembered forever by the world because of this hybrid rice... even for hundreds or thousands of years to come... they will be etched in people's minds!"

"I hope you can understand the meaning of this!"

"Master Hou..."

** clenched his fists and said, "I have been an official for more than ten years, devoting myself to farming. I have seen too many people starving to death. Even if the Marquis doesn't say anything, we will protect these rice seeds with our lives."

"Then I would like to thank you all!"

Gu Jingzhi bowed again!

……

The successful breeding of hybrid rice caused Yu Gu Jingzhi to suffer from insomnia for the only time in more than a year since he traveled through time!

The emergence of hybrid rice did not shock people in later generations much. However, for Gu Jingzhi, who was born in that era, it was hard to imagine. He seemed to be eager for the next spring plowing and the planting of new rice seeds.

After a sleepless night, Gu Jingzhi was still in high spirits. He got up and went to the yard. After a simple wash, he stretched his muscles in the yard.

At this time, someone brought breakfast.

Gu Jingzhi ate a little and was about to go check on the crops planted in the terraced fields to see how they were growing.

However, before he could leave the courtyard, the people sent by Chen Yu appeared at the gate of his courtyard.

The person who came was a servant of the Lin family, a young boy from a family.

Gu Jingzhi was stunned. Seeing his dusty appearance, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Archie? What brings you here?"

Judging from his condition, he must have traveled day and night on a fast horse.

Seeing Gu Jingzhi, Aqi quickly said, "My dear cousin, the young lady has a letter and asked me to deliver it to you as quickly as possible!"

Gu Jing was stunned.

Fish?

What's wrong with her?

Gu Jingzhi hurriedly asked, "Where's the letter?"

"Master, I'm here!"

Aqi took out a letter from his arms, and Gu Jingzhi quickly took it and opened it.

"This……"

Gu Jingzhi frowned, it turned out to be an encrypted letter. He told Aqi to wait in the yard, then took the letter back to the house.

Gu Jingzhi went to the bookshelf and directly found a book called "University". Then he translated the letter word by word according to the code.

After finishing the translation, he looked at the contents of the letter carefully.

There was a lot of content, and after he read it word by word, his expression became serious.

What Chen Yu was thinking about was exactly the information about Jin Lehuang that Qu Feiyan had passed on to him, and he was waiting for Gu Jingzhi to make a decision.

Gu Jingzhi closed his eyes and sorted his thoughts, then picked up a pen and paper and wrote two letters in a row!

One letter was written to Gu Huanzhi and the other was written to Chen Yu.

After the ink on the two letters dried, Gu Jingzhi put the letters away.

Now, just wait for the fish to bite!

……

As the autumn harvest is approaching, the whole place is still bustling during this period.

The joy of the autumn harvest, coupled with the fact that nearly half a year has passed, the Ningzhou distribution center has exerted extraordinary potential. I don’t know if it is because of the difficulties in early trade, but not many goods are shipped abroad.

With the establishment of Ningzhou as a transit station, the flow of goods from the Central Plains to the ethnic minorities in the northwest became more frequent.

Even some foreigners began to settle in Ningzhou.

Fortunately, Gu Jingzhi specially requested an imperial decree, and Lin Feng was promoted three levels for his contribution in suppressing bandits. Now he is a general of the sixth rank. He has recruited another 3,000 soldiers in Ningzhou to rectify the security issues in Ningzhou.

After all, Ningzhou is now a provincial capital with a floating population of over 800,000. It would be okay on weekdays, but there are many merchants here, and there are also many foreign people. Therefore, after careful consideration, the court allowed Ningzhou to form a local army of 3,000 people.

Flag, Ningzhou Camp!

The main responsibility of the Ningzhou Camp is to patrol the trade routes in and out of Ningzhou. It is currently still in the training stage, and all duties are led by Gu Jingzhi's imperial guards!

In short, judging from the weather alone, Ningzhou is now showing signs of rising. If it continues for a few years, I am afraid it will flourish even more.

The experimental seedlings of hybrid rice are gradually maturing. As long as this year is over, an experimental field can be set aside next year to cultivate hybrid rice seeds.

This is a truly big deal for Gu Jingzhi.

During this period, Gu Jingzhi only returned to the provincial capital occasionally. Nothing major happened in the provincial capital, and Jin Lehuang and others were relatively well-behaved. Apart from occasionally inquiring about the news of military pay, there were no other unusual movements.

Gu Yunzhi has always been law-abiding and did not arouse Jin Lehuang's suspicion.

I have to say, this woman has some patience.

The last time he heard from Qu Feiyan that she was plotting against the prince, Gu Jingzhi was really worried. After all, this woman knew the prince very well.

If the prince and his wife were not careful, they would probably be deceived.

However, Jin Lehuang had not taken any action, and Gu Jingzhi had no idea where to start. The most important thing was that he had never found out exactly how many people this woman had under her command.

During this period of time, she only exposed a few people. Gu Jingzhi didn't have many people on his hands, and it was not easy for him to expand new people in this regard.

After all, it is not easy to train secret guards, and if you are not careful, the Inner Guard Office may easily notice you.

If the Internal Guard knew about this, he would almost certainly be accused of rebellion.

Of course, he could also ask the Internal Guards for help, but when he was in the capital, the Internal Guards had loopholes many times, which led Yu Gu Jingzhi to not trust the Internal Guards too much.

The Internal Guard Bureau is still the most powerful spy agency in Daxia, and he doesn't believe that Jin Lehuang will abandon it so cleanly.

Yuheng is definitely just a victim.

……

Everything was going smoothly in Ningzhou, but the capital was a bit bustling...
