    Before the Spring Festival, the rewards from the palace came down. After a year of verification of the fine seeds presented by Chen Chen, the rare bumper harvest finally eased the severe situation on Emperor Jiang's side.  The empty treasury has gained some foundation, and even the threat of foreign countries has gradually subsided!

    The impact of the climate is not limited to the imperial dynasty, the Turkic people on the grassland who live on grazing suffered even more severe disasters, the rivers dried up, the grasslands were barren, livestock were slaughtered in large numbers, the battles were fierce, and a large number of tourists died!

    There is more than one tribe on the grassland. Due to the competition for food, grass and water sources among the big tribes, countless small tribes and tourists have caused disasters, and there are constant conflicts on the border with the imperial dynasty.  Suffering from foreign aggression, he is temporarily unable to tear himself apart from the dynasty.

    Emperor Jiang was also quite tolerant towards the tourists on the grassland. When some tourists who could not survive crossed the border to seek a living on the land of the imperial dynasty, they also received some courtesy. This move attracted many tourists.  The vacant villages can just accommodate them, and with the population, the tax revenue will increase significantly. This New Year, the atmosphere in the palace is much more relaxed. If there are no major changes in the coming year, if there is no major change in the coming year, the dynasty's vitality will be restored after a few years of delay.  Woke up!

    However, Chen Chen is not very optimistic. This time of evolution, because of his own variables, life on the human side has been much easier, but the pace of its evolution is not something Chen Chen can change, but the pace is basically stable right now.

    In a year, there are five months of heavy snowfall, cold winter, and once the winter is over, the spring is compressed into one month. This is the time for people to cultivate seedlings and sow seeds. If it is not completed in this month,  When summer comes, even Chen Chen's hybrid seeds don't have a 30% survival rate. The five-month summer is the period for crops to grow. Those who have adapted to the high temperature and drought can mature well during this time.  Although the growth time has been extended, they can desperately save the amount of water they need for growth in the small amount of precipitation in summer with their extremely developed root systems, which is enough for them to support them until the moment of harvest in autumn!

    Autumn, which is also as short as only one month, is the time for people to rush to harvest. During this month, farmers not only want to harvest the crops in the field, but also quickly dry them to pack the dehydrated grains into bags and seal them, and hand over some of them to come to harvest.  Some of the government servants who pay taxes are moved into their own cellars for storage, which is the family's one-year rations!

    The first month of winter is not too cold. People who are busy with the autumn harvest can go to the county town to buy some items for the winter at home, and some people sell the fine grains that they are reluctant to eat at home, and get a lot of money.  !

    It¡¯s hard to get a good harvest this year. Some people who have been frightened by the hard times are like rats, trying their best to enrich their wealth. You must know that next year¡¯s good seeds will no longer be distributed for free. If you want it, you have to go.  The yamen purchased them uniformly, but this time what they bought in their hands was no longer a grain of good seeds but individual young seedlings. Breeding is also a technical job, and the survival rate of the seedlings needs to be improved. Instead of letting them grope slowly, it is better to  Chen Chen should replace it here. Although it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, but at this juncture, every grain of good seed must not be wasted!

    Products produced in Taoyuan Village must be high-quality products. When the time for planting comes in March, Taoyuan Village is busy without touching the ground. The crops in the village¡¯s greenhouses have been planted early in the morning. Right now, everyone is on the trading street in Ercun.  Score Seedlings and Livestock Cubs!

    Zhen Yingjia and Wang also came to the extremely lively Taoyuan Village with Xiao Baoyu in their arms today. Everyone's life has not been very easy in the past few years. The famine has been raging for so many years, and the landlord's family has no food left!  Thanks to Chen Chen's help, Zhen's life can still go on, but compared to the previous luxury, it is still a big drop!

    But also because of this, the relationship between the people of Zhen's mansion and Jia's mansion has become closer, and the status of Hongtao and Wang's family has also risen a lot because of this.  The concubine is selling a smiling face here to beat the autumn wind, and she is much more polite to Wang's aunt!

    There is no way, the life is hard, the field has not produced much grain for several years, and the merchants have limited grain storage. Even if they sell grain at a high price, they can¡¯t afford it.  They looked at the hot shed and got it together, and the harvest was just like that without water, let alone the crops!

    However, last year's harvest was not bad, and there was five hundred catties of grain per mu of land. Although it was not as good as that in Taoyuan Village, it was much better than before!

    This time, Zhen Yingjia also brought some of his farm heads with him. After all, the supply of seedlings in Taoyuan Village was in short supply, so it was much more convenient for him to go through the back door!

    Chen Chen had been preparing for several years before about the matter of the good breed, but he didn't let it slip.Rumors, in the era when imperial power is supreme, too high a personal reputation is not a good thing, just like this time, all the people in the world are grateful only to the wise and mighty Emperor Jiang, and Chen Chen is just a passing name, although there are many rewards secretly,  But the god-sent seed was given by Emperor Jiang, the real dragon emperor. Except for the people around Taoyuan Village who knew about it, Chen Chen was still very low-key!

    "Brother!" Zhen Yingjia smiled and cupped her hands, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the village is getting better and better!"

    "It's just a matter of sending some seedlings and livestock to come. Why do you come in person?" Chen Chen said disapprovingly, then looked at Zhen Baoyu and praised with a smile, "Looking at Baoyu, this child has grown up a lot. Last time  It only reached my thigh when we met, but now it has reached my waist, this little guy is growing too fast!"

    "No, this kid is very strong, like a cow, and he can't stay in the winter. He has to roll in the snow a few times to be happy! I don't know how cold it is, and I dress him too much.  Not happy yet, very hot!" Wang complained with a smile, but she was still very satisfied with her only son in her heart!

    "That's why Baoyu is in good health!" Chen Chen said with a smile as he looked at the thick-headed little guy, "Don't say that Baoyu is not afraid of the cold, even Lian'er is like this. It is said that last year's winter was not very cold. It was too hot in the house."  I can¡¯t even stay still, I have to go out to get some air from time to time, and I haven¡¯t sat still all winter!¡±

    Evolution is not only about land, climate, species is also the key!  Chen Chen discovered early in the morning that the physical fitness of human beings has been strengthened a lot, and it is easier to adapt to changes in the climate and environment. The younger the age, the greater the strength of the strengthening. These children can already adapt to their living environment very well, survival of the fittest  Under the conditions, all surviving humans have passed the first stage of the test!

    "That's not true! I also feel that last year's winter was not as cold as the previous years. In previous winters, I couldn't even go out at all. I had to wear a thick cotton coat when I stayed in the house with the fire pit burning with earth dragons.  That¡¯s right! Last winter, I went out a few times to go around, it was cold, but it was acceptable!¡± Zhen Yingjia said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m afraid I can go in and out normally after this winter, so it will be more lively in winter  !"

    "That's true!" Chen Chen replied with a smile!

    Several people chatted about homework for a while, and Wang led Xiao Baoyu, who was clamoring to find cousin Lian, to find Jia Lian, leaving Chen Chen and Zhen Yingjia to discuss business!

    "The emperor's meaning is obvious. There has never been any production on the grassland. Even if they are given good seeds, they will not be able to serve them well. The tribes continue to fight, and it may not be feasible to calm down and cultivate the land! But they did give a group of good seeds.  They also sent a lot of livestock and minerals, which is an exchange!" Zhen Yingjia talked about diplomacy, "But this way, the border is temporarily stable!"

    "Where are those tourists? The Turks didn't say anything?" Chen Chen thought for a while and asked aloud!

    "There is no restriction! They can leave or stay if they want to! Tourists are not tribal people and can't talk about defecting, so they just turn a blind eye and let them go!" Zhen Yingjia replied, "Right now they have  What you want will naturally restrain your hands and feet, and fortunately your good seed appeared in time, otherwise those Turkic people will definitely enter the imperial court in one fell swoop this year, people are hungry, and there is nothing they can't do!"

    "The food crisis can be regarded as a temporary solution. Although people are not full, they can't starve to death. The cultivation of improved seeds has given them hope. Naturally, they will not think about the fish dying and the net breaking. It will take at least five to ten years to recover.  There will be no danger!" Chen Chen said seriously, "I just hope that God can hold on for the time being, if this day is difficult, I really can't go on!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
