Chapter 305.1

At this time, the news of Great Xias bumper grain harvest spread rapidly.

Great Xia has had another bumper harvest of grain!

Isnt that pretty normal? When has Great Xia ever not had a good harvest?

Its completely different this time! I heard that the yield per unit area of Great Xias grain has doubled!

Doubled the yield? How is that possible? I might believe an increase of 10 or 20 percent, but doubling it is out of the question!

Its absolutely true. The imperial court has already announced it! If you dont believe it, you can go outside the city and see the rice seedlings for yourself. The rice ears are so big and full, they look like little brooms, bending the stalks with their weight!

Doubling the yield Wow! Thats terrifying!VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Indeed, its too terrifying! Its said that Great Xias grain production can feed 400 million people this year, which is much more than the population of Great Xia. Its really frightening!

Everyone was talking about it, beaming with joy.

For the common people to the north of Great Xia, a bountiful grain harvest might have become routine.

But for the people in the south of Great Xia, this news was nothing short of exhilarating, serving as a powerful reassurance.

With enough grain, it meant they wouldnt go hungry this year or the next, allowing them to live their lives with peace of mind and fostering a stronger sense of belonging to Great Xia.

The news spread quickly throughout the world, and other nations were unsettled.

A bumper grain harvest in Great Xia was not unexpected for them.

Given Great Xias geographical advantages, favorable natural conditions with perfect wind and rain, and a peaceful social environment, it would be inconceivable for Great Xia not to have a good harvest.

But no matter how good the harvest was, it was impossible for the yield per unit area to increase by so much!

The Emperor of Great Wu trembled again, enviously saying, What virtue and ability does Great Xia have to possess such high-yielding rice plants? If Great Wu also had such rice plants, why wouldnt we flourish?

It should be noted that the Great Wu Empire had nearly 300 million common people.

Among the nations of the world, this population size was certainly among the top.

However, they had been maintaining this number for nearly a century.

The reason the population had not been able to increase was entirely due to grain; the production of grain limited the growth of the population.

Although they could increase their population by expanding their territory, the expansion of land would significantly increase the cost of national management if the territory they gained was not good enough. They simply could not afford such consumption.

However, if they could obtain the high-yield grains from Great Xia, this limitation would no longer exist.

With the high-yield grains from Great Xia, many domestic conflicts would be alleviated, and the cost of social management would be greatly reduced.

No longer worried about food, the population would grow explosively, bringing forth more talent for their use.

They could also recruit more soldiers and horses, aiming to expand their territory in all directions.

In short, the benefits brought by high-yield grains are too numerous!

It is truly a vital asset to the nation!
