The country's problem was ultimately a food problem!
This was because the country was a gathering of people, but everyone needed to eat. Only when they were full could they worry about other things.
If they couldn't even eat their fill, there was no way they could talk about anything else.
The empress was right. As long as the problem of food was solved, many problems would not be a problem!
"If Lin Beifan can really increase the grain production, then…"
The empress anxiously asked,"Beloved minister, is what you said true? This hybrid rice could increase the yield?”
"I wouldn't dare to deceive the Emperor!" Lin Beifan clapped his hands and someone immediately handed him a booklet. Lin Beifan passed it to the Empress.
Lin Beifan explained as the empress watched.
"This is the information that this lowly subject asked my student to visit the people, visit the various large farmers, and walk into the fields!”
"According to the information, the hybrid rice grows taller and tougher. It is more resistant to natural disasters and produces more grains!”
"The yield of a hybrid rice grain is more than 30% higher than that of ordinary rice!”
"Your Majesty, and my lords, think about it…"
Lin Beifan said in a seductive tone,""If we can develop hybrid rice and promote it throughout the country, then the rice production in the country will increase by more than 30%! And this…could solve the problem of feeding fifty to sixty million people!”
Everyone's breathing quickened.
Rice production increased by 30%!
To solve the problem of feeding 50 to 60 million people!
What a great pioneering work!
One had to know that many countries had a population of less than ten million!
Their Dawu Empire had vast land and abundant resources, but they could only support 200 million people!
However, among the 200 million people, 90% of them did not know how to eat their next meal and lived a precarious life!
Therefore, the country was in turmoil now, and the people were in dire straits!
It was because they didn't have enough to eat!
If this hybrid rice was introduced, not only could it solve the problem of feeding 50 to 60 million people, but it could also consolidate the regime!
After all, who would still have the mood to make a revolution when they were full and had a good life?
If you dare to resist, I won't let you eat your fill!
Food was the greatest weapon and the guarantee of a country's long-term stability!
"Minister, can this hybrid rice really increase the yield by 30%?”the empress asked again.
Lin Beifan smiled."It's just more, not less. I'm just making a conservative estimate!" "If we can choose the best rice varieties for cross-breeding cultivation, not only can we increase the yield by 30%, 50%, or even 80%!”
50% or 80% was possible!
Everyone was dizzy and their eyes turned red.
"If this hybrid rice is really developed, the people will have enough to eat. The country will definitely be stable and the four seas will be peaceful! Your Majesty, your rule will be impregnable and no one can destroy it! The Great Martial Dynasty would be long lasting and passed down from generation to generation!”
The empress's breathing hastened as she thought,'Aiqing, you must study this!' Tell me whatever you need, I will definitely satisfy you!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan smiled.
Following that, Lin Beifan brought the empress and the ministers to look at other inventions.
Although it was not as amazing as the three inventions above, it was still very useful.
The empress and the ministers were dazzled by the sight. They sighed in amazement and felt that they had lived for decades in vain.
"Your Majesty, this is the technique that I encouraged my students to study. What do you think, Your Majesty?”Lin Beifan smiled smugly.
"If this is considered an obscene skill, then there wouldn't be any in the world!" the empress scolded with a smile. You should bring more people to study such a strange and lewd skill! As long as they could develop a single unit, they could benefit the people. Their merits were boundless!”
"However, this humble subject's starting point is for His Majesty, for Dawu, and for the people of Liming! He was clearly loyal, but he was not understood by others. He was even impeached by his colleagues and framed by villains. This humble subject's heart is bitter!”
Lin Beifan clutched his chest and said in a heartbroken manner.
He used his internal force to force out two drops of tears.
Lin Beifan felt that Oscar owed him a little golden statue!
When the officials heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.
Who are you calling a villain?
"My dear minister, you've been wronged!”
Then, her phoenix eyes scanned the officials, filled with dignity and threat."I want Aiqing Lin to continue researching the strange and lewd skills, who has any objections? If you have any objections, say it. I won't listen anyway!”
The officials smiled bitterly.
If you don't listen, what do you want us to say?
He was clearly siding with Lin Beifan!
However, if they were the emperor, they would also side with Lin Beifan.
This was because these things were too terrifying. As long as they could research one of them, they could rapidly increase the country's strength!
It was simply an important weapon of the country. No one would be indifferent!
"We have no objections!" The officials said in unison.
The empress encouraged Lin Beifan."My dear minister, study these things well. As long as you can find one, I will reward you handsomely!"”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Beifan clasped his hands.
The suspicion had been cleared, and he was going to take revenge!
He was a narrow-minded person and could not bear to be wronged. If there was a grudge, he would take revenge on the spot!
Kill two villains first to liven things up!
Thinking of this, Lin Beifan let out a sigh.
"Why are you sighing?" the empress asked.
"Your Majesty!" "Ever since I became the directorate, I've always been conscientious and conscientious!" Lin Beifan said sadly. Under my efforts, the atmosphere of the directorate has changed completely. The students abide by the law and their academic results have improved significantly. These are all obvious to everyone!”
"However, for some reason, all the officials have come to impeach me! Those who don't know are not guilty, I can understand! However, as my colleagues, Chancellor Liu and Sun Siye, they clearly saw everything but still came to impeach me! Therefore, I don't understand at all. I'm depressed and can't control my emotions!”
The empress's face darkened."Liu Huaye, Sun Tiandao, is that true?”
Chancellor Liu and Sun Siye instantly panicked,""
Your Majesty, you can ask the other teachers and students. They can testify for me!"”Lin Beifan said.
At this moment, an old acquaintance came to the empress and the officials.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
This person was none other than Yao Zheng, the speech officer who taught at the directorate.
When he heard that the empress was here, he immediately came over to pay his respects. He wanted to increase his sense of presence and perhaps he would be summoned back.
The empress saw Yao Zheng and laughed."Minister Yao, long time no see! I heard that you came to the Imperial College to teach and educate people. I am very pleased! I hope you can nurture more talents to serve the country!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yao Zheng was overjoyed. I will definitely not let you down!"
"You came at the right time. You are an upright person. I have some questions for you!”
"Your Majesty, please ask. I will definitely tell you everything I know!" Yao Zheng hurriedly said.”
"Zhen asks you, how has Minister Lin been doing since she became the director of the directorate?”
Yao Zheng glanced at Lin Beifan and clasped his hands,""Your Majesty, ever since Lin Siye became the directorate, he has been responsible for the discipline, morality, and homework of the students! In terms of discipline, Siye Lin strictly followed the rules of the Imperial College. The phenomenon of being late, leaving early, skipping classes, and so on had obviously decreased. The atmosphere had changed!”
Lin Beifan smiled smugly.
After taking care of this group of silkpants, wouldn't the phenomenon of being late and leaving early be reduced?
"What about morals?" the empress asked.
"In terms of moral conduct, Siye Lin has raised higher requirements. Anyone who doesn't pay respects to their teacher and spits on the ground will be punished! At the same time, I was invited to be a teacher in the field of morality. The moral character of the students has been significantly improved!”
Lin Beifan smiled again.
The reason why he set stricter requirements was to take advantage of this group of yamen.
If you dare to refuse to acknowledge your master, spit on the ground, and curse…
I'll punish you to death!
As such, the results were naturally remarkable!
"What about the students 'academic results?" the empress asked.
"Your Majesty, ever since Lin Beifan took up the post of Secretary, he has gone through two monthly examinations. The average results of the students have improved significantly!”Yao Zheng continued.
Lin Beifan smiled to himself.
Even if they didn't want to learn, they could still learn something.
Moreover, if they did not learn well, they would either be beaten up or fined.
They had great potential, and their results improved very quickly.
If their results improved, wouldn't the average results of the directorate students be pulled up?
It could be said that many problems could be solved by dealing with this group of yamen!
At this moment, the empress's face darkened as she listened.
On the other hand, Chancellor Liu and Sun Siye's faces were getting paler and paler, almost going limp.
"Minister Yao, are you telling the truth?”
"Your humble subject is telling the truth! Although I don't agree with Lin Beifan's political views, I won't go against my conscience and say good or bad things! I am an upright person. If I say anything false, please issue an edict to investigate!”Yao Zheng's face was solemn.
The empress immediately turned her head and pointed at Chancellor Liu and the others. She said angrily,""Liu Huaye! Sun Tiandao! As the directorates 'Vice-chancellor and Vice-chancellor, they actually framed a loyal minister and harmed their colleagues! What qualifications do you have to set an example for your students with such bad conduct? How can you be punished for breaking the law?”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! "I was foolish for a moment…" The two of them knelt down in panic.
He also secretly winked at the officials, hoping that they would put in a good word for them.
After all, the two of them had been instigated by the officials.
However, none of the officials stepped forward.
Look at your nose, look at your heart, and stand by.
At this moment, the empress said loudly,"Take off Sun Tiandao's official robe and demote him to a commoner.”
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong…" Sun Tiandao kowtowed.
"Take him away. Zhen doesn't want to see him again!”The empress waved her hand.
Thus, Sun Tiandao was dragged away.
"And you, Liu Huaye!" "As the Chancellor of the directorate, not only did you have bad conduct, you even harmed your subordinates! Moreover, he was old and blind, and was really not worthy of being put in an important position! However, considering that you have worked hard all these years and have provided a large number of talents to the Imperial Court, your position will be temporarily retained, but your salary will be fined for two years! I hope you remember today's lesson. If you do it again, I won't care about my face!”
"Thank you, Lord!" Chancellor Liu kowtowed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
