Having enough food and clothing and having a little extra money every year are the most important things for the people. In the past, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't do it. But in the past two years, some people have been able to have such a life, and the rest are still waiting.
Now there are two to three million kilograms of corn, wheat and rice, and it will be no problem to popularize them throughout Xuan Country.
When the emperor announces the per-acre yield of corn and wheat, many people will cry.
Because this day was something they never dared to imagine.
Wang Jinhe couldn't help but think of her grandmother's life in the past, which was actually very similar to now. Thinking of this, Wang Jinhe seemed to understand why they were so excited that they cried.
"I see."
"What is the yield per mu of Xiaohe wheat? I will write a letter to my brother, and I will also ask the prefects if there are any people planting wheat and corn. If not, send all the seeds back."
"There are more than 570,000 catties in total, with an output of more than 1,100 catties per mu."

"Wife, you are so amazing." Even though Su Yu was mentally prepared, he still found it incredible when he heard the output.
"I'll send the message back right away."
Xuan Feiran was in the Queen Mother's bedroom when he received the news. After seeing the wheat yield, even Xuan Feiran, the king of a country, couldn't help but tear up.
The Queen Mother looked at her son like this and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The per-acre yield of wheat at Xiaohe's place has come out. It's over 1,100 kilograms, with a total of over 570,000 kilograms of seeds. This year we can popularize all high-yield grain varieties to all parts of Xuan Country."
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this: "Great, this is really great. We will announce the news after the court tomorrow and then spread the news to the north as quickly as possible so that the people in the north can also be happy."
"good."
The next day when he went to court, Xuan Feiran announced the per-acre yield of corn and wheat.
"Just yesterday, I received a letter from Fu'an County. It was a letter from Prince Jade reporting the yield of wheat and corn per mu. Just a few days ago, the wheat planted by Princess Jade of Fu'an County was put into storage. Five hundred mu of land yielded 570,000 jin of seeds, with a yield of more than 1,100 jin per mu. The corn also yielded 600,000 jin from five hundred mu of land, with a yield of 1,200 jin per mu."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. The old ministers of the emperor's faction looked at him excitedly: "Is this true, Your Majesty?"

"Really? The grain will be sent back in batches later."
"That's great. Your Majesty, Princess Jade has made great contributions again. You must reward her with more land. No, the land now is too shabby. Giving Princess Jade a county as a fiefdom will be worthy of her contributions."
"That's right."
This time, Xuan Feiran and the others didn't need to speak up as the ministers had already taken the initiative to request a title for Wang Jinhe.
Who dares to say that Wang Jinhe doesn't deserve the reward of an extra fiefdom this time? Who can double the grain production
Those who had been at odds with Su Yu before would not dare to say a word now because they knew very well that what Wang Jinhe did was not something that everyone could do.
"Okay, then let's give Ningshui County and Ning'an County next to Fu'an County to Xiaohe as fiefdom." Xuan Feiran said after thinking for a while.
Some of the ministers below have too many decisions to make, while others take them for granted.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After the court session that day, the imperial edict appeared once on the bulletin board.

"The emperor has issued another imperial decree. What's the news this time?" They remembered that the last time the emperor issued an announcement was when the county lord's rice yield reached 1,800 kilograms per mu.
What is it this time
"Is there anyone who can read? Come over here and read what it says."
"Let me see."
"The emperor said that the county lady planted 500 acres of corn and 500 acres of wheat this year. The corn yield was 1,200 kilograms per mu, and the wheat yield was more than 1,100 kilograms per mu." After saying this, he was dumbfounded.
The people nearby looked at each other and found it incredible.
Someone even asked anxiously: "Is this... is this true?"
"It's true. The emperor has already issued the imperial edict. There really are so many of them."
The news spread quickly throughout the capital, and all the people knew about it.
Many people who had suffered so much covered their faces and cried, "That's great! From now on, the people of Xuan Kingdom will no longer lack food."

They no longer have to worry about going hungry, and no longer have to worry about causing too much trouble for the emperor in the future.
This is what all the people think.
And an imperial edict had been sent to the north at an express speed of 800 miles.
Half a month later, the door of the northern prefect's government office was knocked open.
"Go and notify all the prefects, as quickly as possible."
The imperial envoy who delivered the decree waited there for three days before all the prefects arrived.
When all the prefects learned that the wheat and corn seeds would have a high yield this year, they were all shocked.
In the past, only rice had such high yields, and they were disappointed for a long time thinking that they couldn’t grow rice here. Unexpectedly, high-yield wheat and corn came out this year.
Some people were happy for the people, while others started to make their own plans. The imperial envoy looked at those people and saw their expressions and snorted coldly: "It's good that you are all concerned about the people. If you want to use these high-yield seeds for something, you have to see if the heads on your necks are big enough to be chopped off."
"The Emperor has already been informed of how many kilograms of wheat and corn seeds there are, how much land can be planted, and how much grain can be harvested next year. Someone will also deliver the grain seeds directly before the New Year. These grain seeds will not fall into your hands. You will only assist the officials who come to deliver the grain seeds to distribute them directly."

"The emperor has already said that anyone who dares to steal the grain will be beheaded. You can execute first and report later." The imperial envoy looked at them and said coldly.
Those officials who were wholeheartedly serving the people didn't think there was anything wrong, but those who had their own ulterior motives suddenly became a little scared.
"How could someone do such a thing? Your Excellency is overthinking."
The imperial envoy said in a cold voice: "I am afraid that I have given it too little thought. The emperor has ordered that after receiving the imperial edict, you should inform the people of the news as quickly as possible and make sure that all the people know about it."
"yes."
The imperial envoy left after announcing the news. This was only in the eyes of those officials. In fact, he did not leave. Instead, he dispersed the people he brought with him to monitor all officials to see which ones were concerned about the people and which ones just wanted to get by and take advantage of the people.
However, this investigation did reveal a lot of things.
Seven prefects did not report the matter to their superiors, but instead tried to prevent the news from reaching other places.
In addition to the prefect, there were also some county magistrates who did not do as required, and all of this was recorded by the imperial envoy.
After all the personnel had completed the investigation, the imperial envoy sent people to notify the places where the news had not been notified.
