Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

Su Yuejian felt that it was necessary to talk to her father to see if he knew anything about high-yield grain crops.

Following the routine, Su Yuejian carried a food box and came to the study to find the head of the family, Su Yuzheng.

After she put her things down, Su Yuzheng thought that nothing was wrong, but when he saw Su Yuejian still lingering and refusing to leave, he thought that maybe she had something to say.

So he asked, "Yue'er, do you have anything else to do?"

Su Yuejian frowned and said worriedly, "Didn't my daughter take in four girls a few days ago?

Upon asking, I found out that their families had either suffered from snow disasters, droughts, floods or locust plagues.

Ordinary people have already reached the point where they can’t survive, and they still say they will eat people when they are too hungry…”

Hearing this, Su Yuzheng's face became extremely serious.

Su Yuejian continued, "My daughter sits at home every day, enjoying delicious meals and gorgeous clothes, but she never thought that the world outside is completely different from what she imagined! Dad, why is this?"

Faced with his daughter's questions, Su Yuzheng, the imperial censor, couldn't help but blush, his heart filled with guilt!

"My daughter wants to help them. She doesn't want to sit in a well and watch the world go by. She doesn't want to be a fool who doesn't want to eat meat."

Su Yuzheng never expected that his daughter had such a pure heart!

Su Yu was thinking for a moment, picking out some words to say to his daughter, "What I said today came out of my mouth and entered your ears, so you can't tell it to outsiders.

As a father, I had taught the prince for a period of time, and was therefore labeled as a member of the Eastern Palace.

The political situation is not stable now. There is a lot of corruption in the court.

The cold weather is certainly an objective factor. Going back decades, the weather was also cold and there were natural disasters, but people’s lives were not as difficult as they are now!

Official corruption is worse than natural disasters! The court is now deeply mired in the dispute between the Prince's Party and the Three Kings Party.

There were many disasters among the people, and all the money and grain that the court had collected by all means went into the pockets of these corrupt officials.

Ineffective disaster relief efforts were common in various places. Although it was some local officials who embezzled money and grain, the people always hated the imperial court.

Wherever there is a natural disaster, there will be countless corrupt officials flocking there.

It’s a pity that the common people have such a hard life, but it’s also a pity that the corrupt officials are so fat and wealthy!

The people who could not survive turned into bandits, and the imperial court had to eliminate them one by one.

The money to suppress the bandits was obtained by increasing heavy taxes on the people.

The people are already suffering from natural disasters, but not only are taxes not reduced, they are even increased!

My daughter, you have a pure heart, and your father is very pleased.

But as a woman, what can you do? Your father will take care of the outside world, so you just need to live your life peacefully. "

Su Yuzheng was comforting her eldest daughter, thinking that she was frightened and upset after hearing about cannibalism.

"Is it true that Jingguo doesn't have a kind of drought-resistant and high-yield crop?" Su Yuejian asked.

"Rice grows in the south and wheat grows in the north. It has been like this since ancient times! I have never heard of a high yield. Due to weather conditions, the yield is often reduced or even zero."

Su Yuzheng sighed softly and said helplessly.

"If there were high-yield grain, people wouldn't all starve to death, wouldn't be forced to flee famine, and wouldn't develop to the point of cannibalism."

At this moment, Su Yuejian took out the painting of sweet potatoes and corn from her arms and handed it to Su Yuzheng.

"Dad, do you recognize these two kinds of food?"

Su Yuzheng took the drawing and examined it carefully, but shook his head. "What kind of food is this? I have never seen it before."

"Madame Qin knows. She had seen this red yam in the palace before. It was a tribute from a foreign country. The master in the palace didn't like it, so he threw it away." Su Yuejian said angrily.

"Dad, do you know that red yam is a high-yield food crop that only grows in foreign countries? I once saved a sea merchant, and he told me that the yellow one is called corn, and the yield per mu is easily over a thousand kilograms. Unfortunately, he didn't think of a way to bring it back at that time."

"How much? Over a thousand kilograms per mu?"

Su Yuzheng interrupted her daughter and said, "Daughter, are you sure? It's not 100 kilograms but 1,000 kilograms? Oh my God, there really is such a magical super grain in the world!..."

“The merchant once said that if the planting environment conditions are suitable, the yield can be even higher.

Moreover, sweet potatoes are drought-resistant and corn is cold-resistant, and they do not have high requirements for land.

If these high-yield crops are promoted to farmers, and each family only plants one acre of land, won’t there be no more people starving to death? "

Su Yuejian guided the topic, wanting to know whether this promotion would be difficult.

"Don't worry, Yue'er, I'll take a look. Now, we need to send someone to look for these two items according to the map.

As long as you have the right direction, you will definitely find it.

At that time, I will jointly submit a memorial with the Grand Minister of Agriculture to strongly promote the magical object to relieve the court's urgent needs.

In this way, millions of lives may be saved.”

Su Yuzheng became more and more excited as he spoke. "But you have only heard about this. You must not tell anyone else before you try to plant it. The most urgent thing is to find this species. Do you know where to start looking?"

Su Yuzheng also knew that it was a bit difficult for his daughter.

But I just inexplicably believe that my daughter might have some good ideas.

Su Yuejian thought for a moment and said, “If this high-yield crop has not yet attracted the attention of those regions, we can secretly send people from foreign merchant ships to inquire about it and purchase it at a high price.

There are also institutions that manage maritime trade. Daddy may have acquaintances there, and the tribute from some neighboring small countries can be directed towards food, including grain and various seeds.

There is another possibility. Could it be that someone has already discovered the species in the past, but the imperial court did not officially promote it and did not dare to bring it out?

I don’t know which route will get us through, but there is always a way that will allow us to gain something.”

"The Maritime Affairs Bureau is not without its own solutions. You don't have to worry about this matter. Leave everything to Daddy."

"Thank you, Daddy, for not thinking of my daughter. I don't know the seriousness of the matter."

"Your heart is the best, better than thousands of mediocre men.

If you have other ideas or plans in the future, just come to my study to discuss them.

Daddy believes in your ability and knowledge."

Su Yuzheng thought for a moment and added, "If you encounter something that is not convenient for you to handle in person in the future, you can go find my long-time attendant Su Quan.

He has been with me for many years and is very capable. With him around, you can relax a lot.”

Su Yuejian nodded and looked at him gratefully. She didn't expect that the handsome old man was such a good father.

Su Yuzheng felt very pleased looking at his daughter, thinking that she was worthy of being that man's bloodline.

"Dad, can you please let Su Quan bring me a copy of the official report in the future? I also want to know more about what's happening outside."

"Of course you can." Su Yuzheng is extremely satisfied with his daughter, no less than any other son.

At night, the head of the family, Su Yuzheng, came to Mrs. Lu and warned her, "Yue'er is a kind-hearted child. Don't restrict her in her daily behavior. She knows her limits. This mansion is her protection now, but in the future, she may have to take care of the old and young in the family."

Mrs. Lu didn't know why Su Yuzheng suddenly had such a high opinion of that girl at this moment, and she was very disapproving.

Mrs. Lu felt that this was all because Su Yuzheng was partial to her!

Anyway, as long as she doesn't get in the way, Mrs. Lu doesn't care whether she reaches for the moon in the sky or catches turtles in the oceans!
