Wei Dadong and the others stretched their arms and legs, their faces showing a mixture of confusion and surprise.

The feeling after drinking the Healing Spirit Liquid wasn't exactly comfortable.

They even felt a little uncomfortable while the medicine was taking effect. But once the initial discomfort subsided, they were quite surprised!

A tingling, numb sensation came from the injured area, and soon the injury felt much better.

Now,

The way they looked at Li Yao changed.

Li Yao waved his hand. "Alright, stop looking. Tsk... It's just a pity to waste so many potions. It will take me a long time to prepare them."

Wei Dadong frowned. "Just tell me how much it costs."

Li Yao asked in confusion, "Two hundred thousand per tube, what's wrong?"

Wei Dadong: "It's nothing, I was just asking."

Just now, those twenty-odd people drank over four million...

We can't afford to mess with them!

I'm done with this!

Li Yao rolled his eyes and said to Chen Xi, "You should settle them down first, don't cause any trouble. This is a society governed by law. The Twelve Main Gods hold the Twenty-Four Word Truth high in the sky, and they won't tolerate these kinds of things."

Chen Xi nodded. "Yeah, I understand."

Li Yao: "Let's leave it at that for now."

After saying that,

He went upstairs, and only after he got upstairs did he feel uncomfortable all over.

It took me a while to remember.

Damn, I didn't do my morning exercise today! What a mess! But looking down, Chen Xi was settling her men on the first floor of the tavern. As for how to settle them... well, that's up to Chen Xi. After all, they're all her people.

After finishing his Qi Refining Technique practice in his pajamas, Li Yao hurriedly began refining potions! The auction for potions was fast approaching, and the batch of Healing Spirit Liquid he had just refined had been used up... making Li Yao's stockpile somewhat urgent.

At noon, Chen Xi brought up lunch, and Li Yao ate a few bites before returning to his work.

He only stopped working when Lin Xiaowei contacted him on QQ Account.

Lin Xiaowei: "Doggy, what are you doing?"

Li Yao: "Refining medicine!"

He told Lin Xiaowei about the upcoming auction, and Lin Xiaowei laughed after listening, "That must be really tough. You're such a cheat code, how come you're still having such a hard time?"

Li Yao: "..."

He walked to the sofa, lay down, and let out a long, satisfying sigh, "It's okay for me to work hard to support you."

Lin Xiaowei: "..."

Li Yao continued, "I've heard married people say that sometimes after a long day, they're exhausted, but when they get home and hear their child call them 'Dad,' they feel all the fatigue is worth it. I'm so tired lately, can you call me 'Dad'?"

I also want to be full of positive energy!

Lin Xiaowei opened her personal journal...

After finishing writing, she closed the notebook and typed with a blank expression. "I've recruited quite a few refugees, but we don't have enough food reserves. The worst part is that our food production capacity isn't up to par..."

Recently, after some discussion, Lin Xiaowei and Jiangzhong Convection decided to first stabilize the local population before issuing policies to attract migrants!

Lin Xiaowei herself is a mage, and her mysterious and unpredictable magical powers have given the local residents confidence. After a series of policies to benefit the people were introduced, Lin Xiaowei's territory has attracted many refugees.

That medium-sized plane is similar to the medieval period in western Earth.

The nobles in this plane do not regard ordinary people and refugees as a resource, but rather as a burden, merely sucking the blood and sweat of the people like bookworms.

In the eyes of those nobles, landless and unproductive vagrants were like locusts, only depleting their wealth.

Therefore, most noble territories do not welcome refugees.

They also wouldn't care about the poor people living in cramped shantytowns.

Anyone with even a little economic sense knows that people are labor, and labor can create wealth. The difference between mediocre and wise people lies in how to mobilize this labor to create wealth.

Lin Xiaowei also agrees with this view.

So after Jiangzhong Convection proposed the idea, she quickly put it into practice.

Then,

Now the question is...

The territory now has refugees, but there isn't enough food.

The most awkward thing is that the world's food crop yields are very low, and the yield per unit area is not enough to feed so many people! This greatly limits the development of productivity.

Li Yao said, "You're not short of money, can't you buy food from the Main World and ship it over?"

Lin Xiaowei rolled her eyes. "Then I might as well just give them Gold Coin directly. Do you know how expensive interdimensional teleportation is!"

Li Yao: "... Then use Gold Coin to buy grain from other places, and if that doesn't work, forcibly requisition it! Let's get through this difficult time first!"

It's just a matter of grain production!

This problem doesn't even need Jiangzhong Convection; Li Yao can solve it for his best friend! Lin Xiaowei isn't short of money.

First, spend money to clear this current level, and then slowly develop the rest!

As for how to develop it...

Modern research has made tremendous contributions to increasing food production, with the greatest contribution coming from Academician Yuan Longping of China! The world's first successful hybrid rice experiment was completed in Indonesia in 1963 by American Henry Beache, who is considered by some in the academic community to be the father of Hybrid Rice and received the 1996 World Food Prize. However, due to certain flaws in Henry Beache's concept and plan, large-scale implementation was not feasible.

Later, the Japanese islanders proposed the three-line breeding method to cultivate Hybrid Rice, suggesting that suitable wild male-sterile plants could be found as the basis for cultivating Hybrid Rice.

Although the Japanese people found wild male-sterile plants after years of effort, the results were not very good. In addition, the Japanese people also proposed a series of new rice breeding methods, such as pollination. However, due to various reasons, they were unable to complete the industrialization of Hybrid Rice.

China's research on Hybrid Rice began in 1964, but due to various reasons, Academician Yuan Longping's experiments encountered many setbacks, but he did not give up.

after,

In 1973, the three-line system was successfully implemented. In 1974, the first high- Hybrid Rice combination, Nanyou No. 2, was bred. In 1975, Hybrid Rice production technology was successfully developed, laying the foundation for the large-scale promotion of Hybrid Rice.

It was around that time that China gradually bid farewell to the era of hunger and hardship.

Many young people today may have no idea what it feels like to go hungry in most parts of the country...

Li Yao remembers.

Back in the 1990s, when he ate with his family, his parents would lick the rice off the bottom of the bowl.

This reverence for food,

This is especially evident in the older generation.

Even when Li Yao's parents were cooking, they would "precisely" control the amount of food each person in the family would eat, thus "instinctively" saving food.

But what about the young people...?

With mechanized farming and modern management, grain production capacity is already quite large. Under these circumstances, young people typically eat only half of the rice they order for takeout and then throw the other half away.

No wonder there are so many people with nothing better to do these days doing all sorts of weird and ridiculous things.

They also particularly enjoy mocking and insulting others, even other countries, online.

For example, the Dolce & Gabbana incident these past two days.

Those troublemakers are all just bored and have nothing better to do!

Throw him into the Great Gobi Desert and starve him for two days, and he'll know what "peace and love" means.

Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'll get you two tons of Hybrid Rice seeds in the next few days. With the support of the great Yuan Longping, what's a little grain production problem!"

Before long, the people of this other world will also be able to live the luxurious life of taking two bowls of rice, eating one and throwing the other away! Lin Xiaowei: "..."
