If Vézé was just a simple emperor, it would be impossible for the Min dynasty to operate under the guise of a dynasty. However, the Min dynasty led by Emperor Vézé was as stable as Mount Tai, because Vézé was not a lonely emperor.
If it was a feudal dynasty, people like Wei Changrong would definitely be on guard. Vézé's nephew, a great contributor to the founding of the country, held the power of the Ministry of Personnel, which was equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the old days. This kind of power and status undoubtedly had the best conditions to usurp the throne. Even if Wei Changrong himself had no intention of usurping the throne, as long as he sat in this position, with such influence, he was destined to be the most feared person by the emperor.
However, this did not happen in reality, because as long as Vézé did not publicly announce that he would use the highest executive, legislative, and judicial power granted to him by Decree No. 1 of the National People's Congress, everyone was a member of the Restoration Party. Under the decision-making system of the Restoration Party's Party Committee, Vézé's vote was only one vote. Although the practical problem was a practical problem, the system and concept of establishing a country itself could not be ignored. Vézé had one vote, and so did Wei Changrong. There was really nothing to discuss about this kind of thing.
Wei Changrong, such a powerful and influential person, publicly attacked Levis's views, which could be said to put Levis in a difficult position. What's more, Wei Changrong's statement was more impactful than his approach. It sounded more like a joke than a serious suggestion to increase the yield of grain by two times, from two hundred catties to eight hundred catties. Perhaps it was because this statement was too unbelievable, so the ministers were also very suspicious of what Wei Changrong meant by this. If the reason for attacking Levis was so absurd, then everyone could only suspect that Wei Changrong was here to make trouble.
Levis's expression was also uncertain. He couldn't figure out what Wei Changrong meant. Was he really going to fight or was he just joking? More importantly, Wei Changrong's actions were often regarded as representing Vézé's true thoughts, so Levis didn't dare to ignore Wei Changrong's words. In other words, was it really possible to produce eight hundred catties per mu?
With Wei Changrong's interference, the meeting would definitely not continue. The meeting ended in a strange atmosphere. Wei Changrong didn't say anything else. He invited Levis, who had an ugly expression on his face, to get into the car with him. The two of them got in the car first and soon arrived at the riverside. Then he boarded the boat.
Levis was confused by Wei Changrong. He waited for Wei Changrong to speak along the way. Until they boarded the boat, Wei Changrong didn't say a word like a mute. Therefore, Levis stopped in front of the boat and refused to get in. He asked with an antagonistic attitude, "Where are you going to take me?"
"Of course I'm going to take you to a place that can produce eight hundred catties of rice and wheat per mu," Wei Changrong said calmly.
This time, not only did Levis think that Wei Changrong was crazy, even the two's secretaries and guards looked at Wei Changrong in shock. They wondered if they had heard wrongly. What kind of land was producing eight hundred catties per mu? What kind of rice and wheat were they growing?
Levis was so angry that he laughed coldly. "Comrade Wei Changrong, let me tell you, kidnapping is illegal!"
"Just get on the boat when I ask you to. Do I need to personally kidnap you? A few people are enough, "Wei Changrong said as he took the lead to board the boat.
Levis saw that Wei Changrong didn't look like he was joking. He thought for a moment and still boarded the boat. If Wei Changrong was really crazy and Levis left Wei Changrong, who couldn't take care of himself, alone, it was not an action that would earn him points.
After crossing the Yangtze River, there was a car on the other side. In the car, Levis didn't dare to stay silent anymore. He asked tentatively, "Old Wei, is there really a place that can produce eight hundred catties of tea per mu?"
"I'm taking you there, aren't I?" Wei Changrong replied, "My fourth uncle just told me about it. He asked me to take you there."
There were only Wei Changrong and Levis in the car, so Levis wondered if Wei Changrong was really crazy. Eight hundred catties of tea per mu didn't sound reasonable. Although Wei Changrong mentioned Vézé, it was really unreasonable. If it really could produce eight hundred catties of tea per mu, one mu of land would be equivalent to three mu of crops. That meant that the local grain price would be so low that it would make people's hair stand on end.
The reason why the grain price was high in areas with low yield per mu was because of the low production efficiency. In the Northeast and North America, a person could have two hundred mu of land, and one mu could have three hundred catties. That was sixty thousand catties of grain. In Asia, a person could have five mu of land, and one mu could have three hundred catties. In other words, the price of fifty catties and sixty thousand catties was a big joke.
The asphalt highway was very well built, and the cars ran very fast on it. After more than an hour, the convoy stopped. The confused Levis followed Wei Changrong to a place surrounded by walls and fences. The people who came to greet them were waiting at the gate. Levis was also Vézé's relative, so he recognized the two leaders at a glance. One was Wei Zhen, and the other was Wei Kun. They were both Vézé's sons.
"Big Brother, Uncle, you're here." Although there were too many wrong ages, the seniority could not be messed up. Levis, Wei Changrong, and Vézé only thought of each other as peers, but Wei Zhen and Wei Kun did not dare to call them wrong.
"You should call me Minister Wei, Li Li." Wei Changrong corrected him with an unhappy expression. The seniority issue had always been a knot in his heart. It was fine if no one brought it up, but when it was brought up, he always felt unhappy.
"Hello, Minister Wei, Li Li." Wei Zhen and Wei Kun hurriedly corrected him.
Wei Changrong snorted, then used the tone of an elder to scare the younger ones. "Listen up, kid. If you dare to lie to us, I will bring you to your father and spank your buttocks in front of him! "
"Big … Minister Wei. His Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to harvest them. You will harvest them personally for you to see! "Wei Zhen said proudly.
Wei Changrong saw that Wei Zhen was so confident, so he waved his hand. "You two lead the way."
Levis was shocked by this conversation. He no longer cared about his previous anger with Wei Changrong. He tugged on Wei Changrong's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Changrong, is this really not a joke? Commander-in-chief … What sorcery did the Commander-in-chief use? "
Wei Changrong looked helpless. "This is also my first time here. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
The two of them followed Wei Zhen and the Wei Kun brothers inside. This place didn't look like anything special, but after entering, they realized that the security was quite tight. There were guards who needed to sign their names, and there were guards patrolling with dogs. After going around two circles of trees outside and crossing a simple prefabricated bridge over a ditch, two large plots of land appeared in front of the two of them. Wei Changrong was slightly better. He had never farmed much in his life. Not long after he became sensible, he started practicing martial arts and threw himself into a life of fighting and killing when he was young. Levis had farmed at home before, so he was stunned when he saw the two large plots of land.
In this era, the density of rice and wheat on the land wasn't high. The reason was very simple. According to the traditional saying, there wasn't enough soil. According to simplified agricultural terminology, the water, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements in the land weren't enough to support dense planting.
On these two large plots of land, whether it was rice or wheat, they were all planted at an unprecedented density. In other words, they were planted according to the planting density of the 21st century. On these two plots of land, the ears of rice and wheat were so large that Levis had never seen them before. With just a glance, Levis was able to roughly estimate the situation. There might really be 800 catties of rice and wheat per mu. Even without threshing and drying, it was already shocking that more than 800 catties of wet rice and wheat could be produced. Not to mention that these scenes from his dreams had actually happened.
