Text 1009, Champa Rice

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Jing Wen heard about Champa, he naturally thought of Champa.  Because it was mentioned in later middle school textbooks that a kind of rice was introduced during the Northern Song Dynasty. Because it originated from Champa, it was also called Champa rice.  This kind of Champa rice has great advantages. The first one is that it is drought-tolerant. The second one is that it grows on any land and can be planted on most land.  As for the third reason, because the growth cycle is short, from planting to harvesting, it can be harvested in less than sixty days.  So this kind of rice can be planted in the right place, and it can be planted several times a year.  This Champa rice may be the earliest multi-cropping rice, and it can definitely increase grain production a lot.  The Vietnam area where Champa rice was located in later generations was also an important grain producing area in later generations.  In later generations, Vietnamese rice was famous in many places, and even robbed many of the Chinese local rice market.  But it is suitable for producing food, and it is indeed a very good place.  Therefore, Jing Wen was also attracted by it.  "Your Majesty, this Champa rice is of great benefit to our Tang Dynasty, so we can introduce this Champa rice. As long as we introduce Champa rice, then we in the south can completely rely on Champa rice. And the northern land  It is hard and dry and is not suitable for growing this kind of rice. Therefore, in the future, we can grow wheat mainly in the north, while there are many paddy fields in the south. In this way, we will have a situation in which the north is dominated by wheat and the south is dominated by rice.  These are all grains, it doesn¡¯t matter what you eat.¡± Jing Wen said.  What Jing Wen and Li Shimin were talking about was promoting different food crops in different places.  The north is relatively arid, so wheat, a relatively drought-tolerant crop, can be grown.  Rice is grown in the south, which can also utilize the water network resources in the south.  After all, rice requires a lot of water, and the north was not suitable for growing rice in ancient times. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out and the people in the south???  But it doesn¡¯t matter in future generations.  In later generations, there were also many people growing rice in the north.  But that was only possible when all kinds of water conservancy facilities were complete and all kinds of agricultural equipment were excellent in later generations. Otherwise, it would be impossible to grow rice in the north, and even if there was one, the yield would not be very high.  And the promotion of rice cultivation in the south was like this in ancient times.  If we force ourselves to grow wheat in the south, we won't have a good harvest in the end, but it will delay things.  The rice production in the south can be said to have a great impact on the national agricultural production.  Jiangnan's grain output can only gradually increase in the future, and its proportion of the country's grain output will only gradually increase. Therefore, in this case, Jiangnan will certainly further increase Jiangnan's grain output.  Only if we can develop Jiangnan as soon as possible.  Only then can the north receive food feedback.  ¡°The future of the North will definitely be inseparable from food feedback from the South. This is an indisputable fact.  Therefore, if this Champa rice can be promoted, then the south can develop it as soon as possible.  Datang is currently developing Jiangnan, isn't it just to obtain enough food to feed back in the future?  People can even move there when the time comes, which will greatly reduce the population pressure in the north.  As can be proven in the middle and late Tang Dynasty in history, the population pressure in the north, especially in the Guanzhong area, was so huge that Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian were forced to actually move the capital.  "Does this Champa rice really take more than fifty days to be harvested? If so, can it only be planted a few times a year? If so, of course it will be good." Li Shimin asked.  Jing Wen affirmed: "Yes. Not only can it be harvested in more than fifty days, but it also doesn't choose where to grow, and it can tolerate drought, so this kind of Champa rice is a rare and good variety. If we  If we can use Champa rice, we can plant rice two to three times a year in the Jiangnan area. This will completely make Jiangnan self-sufficient in food and not rely on blood transfusions from the north. And if this continues, it will only get better and better, so that the south can become better and better.  We can feed our people in the north as quickly as possible, and as long as they can increase their food production, the speed of development in Jiangnan will be much faster. As for us, we will not have to rely on long-distance transportation of food from the north, and we will be able to do it locally.  Produce by yourself so that they can survive on their own. "The Tang Dynasty was completely different from the later Ming and Qing Dynasties.  In later generations, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the north needed rice from the south for water transportation.  But the Tang Dynasty was different. The north of the Tang Dynasty needed to provide food to help develop the south.  At present, the land in the south has just been initially developed, and the yield is not very high.  Moreover, the rice yield in this era was not high and the production cycle was very long, which did not allow a large number of people to be self-sufficient.  Therefore, although the introduction of Champa rice cannot increase the single-acre yield, it can completely allow the people to multiply one-crop rice or even two-crop rice, so that the grain output can be increased by two to three times.  If it can be improved by two to three times, then it is completely?This is a very powerful benefit, no one would be tempted by it.  No one knows the truth of instability without farming better than the ancients. The ancients knew the importance of food better than later generations, so Li Shimin heard that rice production could be increased by two to three times. This would be very helpful to stabilize the Tang Dynasty.  As for the future, if the Tang Dynasty stabilizes, won't the Li family be able to enjoy the wealth for a longer time?  Therefore, food production can be said to have worried countless ancient emperors. Food production was too low and productivity was too low, which was also the reason for the demise of countless dynasties.  And this Champa rice is even more related to the progress of Jiangnan development in the future.  If there is enough planting space for Champa rice, the development of Jiangnan will be accelerated a lot.  When developing a piece of land, the most important issue is food.  After all, it is difficult for newly developed land to provide large harvests. Instead, food needs to be mobilized from the north.  Therefore, shorten the harvest cycle as much as possible, and plant more times to make them self-sufficient.  And once they can become self-sufficient, they will save a lot of money!  "Okay, we will go to Champa in Linyi Kingdom immediately, and then introduce this Champa rice. As long as this Champa rice is introduced, then the food production of our Datang can be increased, which will of course be of great benefit to our Datang!  "Li Shimin said.  "Your Majesty is wise!" Jing Wen said.  "However, Your Majesty, I have another suggestion, which is how to deal with Lin Yiguo's idea!" Jing Wen said.  "Huh? How to deal with it?"
