Liu Zhuang is not without rits. For the present Gu Clan, as long as he maintains clear rewards and punishnts, it is sufficient.
Because in Gu Yi’s view, all of Gu Kang’s asures pose no problems.
Compared to the contemporary agricultural level of the Great Han, doing so would absolutely surpass the yields of previous years!
...
Indeed, when the news of the great harvest in the Hebei region reached the court.
The entire court was shocked!
The per mu yield of two stone truly astounded everyone.
It should be known that, even in the most bountiful year under the heavens, the highest yield was no more than this number.
And now, this two stone is the average.
The yields from the most fertile lands in Julu Commandery, Wei Commandery, and Bohai Sea Commandery even exceeded two stone per mu.
As for Julu, let’s not discuss it; the fertilization asures that Gu Kang has implented over the years were not in vain.
But for Wei Commandery and Bohai Sea Commandery, this yield has completely surpassed previous records.
Furthermore, there are experintal fields within the states and commanderies.
Gu Kang’s arrangent for the experintal fields is primarily focused on testing.
He applies all potential fertilization thods to different plots of land.
Although this thod may not seem scientific in the modern day, considering the current situation of the Great Han, it is the best approach.
Of course, this thod is destined to affect the yield of the fields.
But since it’s an experintal field, the primary goal is experintation.
Gu Kang was long prepared to experint for years to select the best fertilization strategies suitable for each state in the land.
This is destined to be a slow process.
But for the present Great Han, the harvest in the Hebei region is sufficient!
Liu Zhuang’s joy was visibly apparent.
In the court, he imdiately appointed Gu Kang as Minister of Agriculture, directly elevating him to the level of the Nine Ministers.
And this ti, there was nothing further anyone could say.
Gu Kang’s actions are destined to be a blessing for everyone in the world.
And for the great clans occupying most of the land in the temple, the benefits they reap are far greater than those of ordinary people; who would refuse such benefits?
The entire country celebrated!
So ministers even imdiately proposed to promote the Hebei fertilization strategies across the Great Han.
To this, Liu Zhuang naturally agreed.
Gu Kang also did not say much; he seed to have gradually perceived the differences arising from varying terrains through the yields of the experintal fields.
But to completely explore these studies in the current era is obviously impossible.
Although the yields differed in various regions, they were all much greater than in the past.
What reason would there be to refuse?
——The following year, Gu Kang even more specifically implented the fertilization strategies.
This ti, it seed the enthusiasm for farming throughout the land was ignited.
Especially with Liu Zhuang’s promotion, the great harvest in Hebei during the sixth year of Yongping beca widely known.
Gu Kang virtually beca divine in the hearts of the people.
To be able to increase the yield of the land with human effort.
Upon hearing that Gu Kang still led the fertilization efforts, there was a joyous uproar among the people everywhere.
They were the ones who cared most about grain yields!
And although there were minor disasters that year,
The grain output of the entire Great Han still far surpassed the past.
"Thirty asures of grain."
When this phenonon appeared in the Great Han, it was enough to show the significant impact of this matter.
Upon learning of this, Liu Zhuang decided to personally lead the officials in sacrificing to Liu Xiu, as if wanting to inform him of the prosperous tis of the Great Han today.
Nomads ca and contributed offerings, all ca to assist in the sacrifices.
Although the sacrifices were not grand, their significance to the entire land was different.
Now in the Great Han... it seed as if a myriad of nations were coming to pay homage!.....

"In the seventh year of Yongping, Kang took charge of the agricultural affairs of the entire land, and the people followed him. That year, there was a great harvest, the granaries were full, thirty asures of grain, freeing the people from the suffering of hunger.
The rits of Kang are achievents in the present, with benefits for eternal generations."
