Chapter 168 Wei Zhongxian, a capable minister of the Ming Dynasty (second update, please subscribe,)
Look, Wei Zhongxian is in a hurry!

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Shi Yiwen didn't make any fuss anymore, after all, his plans depended on this Nine Thousand Years Old.

If you want to talk about eunuchs, no, if you want to talk about Wei Zhongxian's advantages, he is greedy for money, but he does things!Such a person is definitely more reliable than talkative guns. As long as he is willing to accept money and take benefits, it shows that he is willing to do this matter.

If those talkers are allowed to preside over the immigration, it is estimated that they have not moved yet. They will definitely think about "how can the people of China go to foreign countries", and then find out all kinds of reasons for discord. When they finish talking, it is estimated that the United States Almost independent from Britain.

This kind of thing, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, is by no means uncommon.

I have never seen whether talking guns can save the country, but talk guns can definitely harm the country.

Therefore, compared to the so-called "honest men" such as the Donglin Party and their talk, Shi Yiwen would rather "collaborate" with the Eunuch Party. In order to achieve a noble goal, the means... are also acceptable.

"Actually, it's quite simple to say."

Shi Yiwen said.

"Nine thousand years old, throughout the ages, the promotion of crops is not easy. This is not easy, not only the speed of promotion, but more importantly, it must be accepted by the people of the world. If you want the people to accept something, you must let them see the benefits. Did you say it was nine thousand years old?"

"That's right, who will do things that are not beneficial."

Wei Zhongxian nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, if you want people to grow sweet potatoes, you have to let them see the benefits of growing sweet potatoes."

"Isn't this kind of sweet potato enough to eat?"

"and then?"

"Then?"

Wei Zhongxian was dumbfounded, he didn't understand.

"Can't you just eat enough?"

"But what the people want is not just enough to eat,"

Shi Yiwen didn't even bother to talk to him, treating the common people like pigs.

"Besides, they can't eat sweet potatoes all the time, can they? If they eat those things, they will be flatulent. If they want them to take the initiative to grow sweet potatoes, they have to make a fuss about the landlord."

"Make a fuss about them?"

"Yes, it's them!"

Shi Yiwen sneered.

"If they don't recognize sweet potatoes, the people will naturally not grow too many, but if they recognize it, the people will naturally grow too."

"Why is this?"

"Can pay rent!"

Shi Yiwen said.

"If all the landlords in the world are willing to collect dried sweet potatoes as land rent, why worry that the people in the world won't grow them?"

"But according to what you said, eating too much sweet potato will make you gas. Those people collected the rent to sell it. They're not stupid."

If the dried sweet potatoes can pay the rent, the people will naturally be willing to plant them, but Wei Zhongxian also knows that the landlords will definitely not be willing to accept this, and this is not easy to sell.

"They're not stupid, but what if they could take advantage of it too?"

"How do you say that?"

"Nine thousand years old, look, if the government sets a rule that the landlord collects 7% of the rent for refined grains and [-]% for coarse grains, then the [-]% is dried sweet potatoes. If the original [-]% is collected, the landlord will definitely not be happy, but What if the [-]% coarse grains doubled?"

The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit.No one wants to do things that are not beneficial.And Shi Yiwen's method of "doubling the coarse grain" is actually to learn from the experience of paying public grain, and the coarse grain is also doubled.

"Double the coarse grains...it seems okay, but how many dried sweet potatoes can be harvested on this acre of land?"

"In general, if you dry 4 catties of sweet potatoes and dry a catty of dried sweet potatoes, you can harvest at least a thousand catties of dried sweet potatoes per mu of land. Even if you hand over one or two hundred catties of sweet potatoes, the people will be happy."

Before Shi Yiwen could continue, Wei Zhongxian said.

"It's more than happy. I guess I'm laughing in my dreams. Who in the world doesn't collect 800% of the rent? In Zhili in the north, even a high-quality paddy field can only produce [-] to [-] catties of sorghum per mu of land. , Millet, after paying sixty to seventy catties of rent, how much can I have left? But if I switch to dried sweet potatoes, I only pay one or two hundred catties per mu of land, and I can still have more than [-] catties left. How much, less than [-]%, who would not be happy with such a good thing. And the landlord is also happy, no matter how cheap the dried sweet potato is, it can’t be twice as cheap as sorghum millet, and they can earn a little more, um, this is the landlord’s Good news for everyone!"

After finishing the accounts, Wei Zhongxian was so happy, looking at Shi Yiwen with a more cordial gaze.

"What Nine Thousand Years said is that both the owner and the tenant are beneficial. If this is promoted, it will naturally be beneficial everywhere."

"Yes, yes, everything is beneficial, and the government doesn't even need to do it, and the people rush to plant it themselves."

Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian paused, shook his head and said.

"No, this matter is really inseparable from the government. The government has to discuss this matter with the local gentry, and it has to send out the seeds. It is indeed inseparable from the government, but those people really don't want people to do things. Don't worry, didn't you say that Fujian has been doing it for decades, but there are still not many people planting it."

Wei Zhongxian's long sigh made Shi Yiwen laugh.

"So, we have to find another way to do this, Nine Thousand Years Old."

Find another way!

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, he looked at Shi Yiwen and said with a smile.

"You kid, you like to play tricks. Come and tell our family, this is another way."

"This matter is difficult to say, easy to say, the key is to see how to do it."

……

"...So, this old slave thinks, let the local government do this, and they may not be careful. After all, Fujian has been doing it for decades, and it turned out that it was when Jin Xuezeng, the governor of Jianjian, was in office. , it was hot for a few days, and once that period passed, no one from the government would ask any more questions."

Standing beside the emperor, Wei Zhongxian hung his waist respectfully, talking about his worries one by one.

"Jinzhong, your worry is not unreasonable. The local officials are always talking about something more than something less. I guess it's just talking about it. In the end, it's the common people who suffer."

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao felt that the thing being made in front of him was not very fragrant. Isn't it the same in local affairs?It doesn't matter if they procrastinate, but the people in the world will be hungry in the end!
The common people are not only suffering from hunger, when the time comes, it will definitely affect the world of Lao Zhu's family, but as the emperor, he is powerless in the face of this situation, what can he do?
"Jinzhong, tell me, should I send internal officials out like the emperor Shenzong did back then, like mine supervisors?"

As soon as this idea flashed, Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said.

"Things can't be done like this. If you do it this way, the subjects of the world will definitely be dissatisfied. Even if you do a good thing with good intentions, it will turn into a bad thing in their mouths. Hey... headache, headache."

Rubbing his temples, Zhu Youxiao is upset, can he not be upset when encountering these things?Still feel comfortable doing carpentry work...
