Great Wei scholar

"Should be happy?"

The advisor replied.

"No, not happy, but laughing so hard that I couldn't fall asleep."

"In a relatively good place, the harvest is four or five times higher. Of course, because a lot of refugees have joined, plus twice the harvest in a more general place, the total harvest is about three times."

"The harvest has tripled in one breath, and there is no need to pay national taxes. You only need to pay some local taxes, not even half of it."

"For them, this season's grain income has doubled by seven times compared to last year's first season."

"Seven times."

"Can they not wake up with a smile? Dawei rice seeds, two crops a year, earn three and a half years of harvest at one go, it's you, can you still sleep?"

"In this way, these common people will spread the word everywhere, and buy a lot of new things, whether it's food improvement or shopping, everything they do will be seen by the neighbors."

"Those who haven't started farming, are they in a hurry? I'm afraid they will have to open up wasteland the next day to earn silver taels."

"Furthermore, after His Majesty promised tax exemption, people from all over the country have responded positively and opened up wasteland one after another. Therefore, in the second half of the year and the first half of next year, there will be an explosive growth."

"In other words, in the first half of next year, there will be no barren land in the Wei Dynasty, and the Changchun Mansion will definitely not only have 120 million dans of grain, but at least 500 million dans."

Xu Qingxiao analyzed it carefully.

What he said was clear and logical, and the two servants listened with great interest and praised him again and again.

indeed.

Now most of the people are indeed farming, but there are still many people who have not gone to farming, whether it is a small business, or tossing about something that is not there.

It's not that they don't want to farm, it's just that they can't make much money from farming, and they are not landlords. Most of them just farm honestly and earn a little food and clothing.

But now the imperial court has been exempted from tax for three years, and there are water trucks to solve the water source problem. One family in Huangtian has one acre. If you have money, you can still buy it. Of course, the price is definitely not cheap.

After all, the purpose of the Great Wei to distribute land to the people was to increase productivity, not to allow merchants to hoard and earn money.

Therefore, the income from farming has increased so many times at once, four or five times less, or even eight or nine times more, who is not jealous?

In this way, I am afraid that they will be in a hurry to farm.

There is no shortage of water in Da Wei, it is nothing more than a problem of distance. Xu Qingxiao's water truck solved this problem. Naturally, the wasteland was reused.

Even if it develops to the later stage and there is no barren land available in Wei, then build a super waterwheel and ask the disciples of the immortal way to build it, and it will reach thousands of miles, and all some dry land will be rectified.

By that time, Da Wei will not be short of food at all.

Of course, this plan must be in the future.

"Shouren, you are really smart."

Gu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But soon, Gu Yan thought about it, and immediately spoke.

"According to what you said, Shouren, we should step up preparations for the wasteland right now."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs has to issue an edict to no longer provide barren land for free. After one month, it will stop providing barren land for free. In this way, many strong men will go back to receive barren land."

"Afterwards, let people inspect it again, and if it is found that the leading field is not plowed, the grain field will be confiscated."

"Also, the food issue. Wei needs to hoard food. This time the common people have grown so much food, and they are happy. But the price of this food will inevitably be suppressed by some profiteers."

"The old man wants to give an order to the Great Wei Chamber of Commerce to monitor its price and not to be too low. At the same time, all parts of the Great Wei have to buy grain and store it, about [-]% of it, in case of emergencies. All silver taels will be spent from the treasury. "

"It can be regarded as a multiplicity of actions."

Gu Yan spoke out, and he immediately made several plans through what Xu Qingxiao said.

Every plan is great.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Taking retreat as an advance, let the strong men who are idle in the counties and counties go home to produce food. After all, the barren land is there for free, and most people like to take advantage of it.

But the problem is that some young people go to other prefectures and counties for a long time, but they can't get out for a long time, and they are afraid of losing face when they go back. Besides, they have nothing to do when they go home, so they don't go back. They would rather sleep outside in the bridge hole than go back to farm.

The family is too lazy to care.

Now that Gu Yan's trick is released for a limited time, and the people are now having a bumper harvest, I'm afraid that this group of wandering young men will probably have to go home.

Then go to collect grain and stabilize the price of grain. It must be lower than before. After all, there is more grain, and the price will naturally be cheaper. Of course, it should not be too low, otherwise the people will not be happy.

In order to prevent businessmen from making troubles, Gu Yan's impeccable actions really made Xu Qingxiao feel emotional.

"Master Gu is wise."

Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and said with emotion from her heart.

"Shouren, if someone praises me, I will accept it, but if you praise me, I will have no shame."

"Okay, I called you here today, just to let you see how the effect is, but looking at you, I feel that you have already expected it, but the old man seems a little new to the world."

"I won't bother you, you go back and have a good rest."

Gu Yan spoke.

He called Xu Qingxiao over just to have fun together, but he didn't expect Xu Qingxiao to look exactly like he had expected, which made him a little helpless.

"Okay, Mr. Gu, I'll go first."

Xu Qingxiao nodded. She must be happy when the grain production results came out, but this was expected, so she was not particularly happy.

"Master Hou, go slowly."

"Master Xu, go slowly."

"Well, go back and have a good rest."

The left and right servants and Gu Yan spoke.

And just after Xu Qingxiao stepped out of the gate, suddenly, Xu Qingxiao turned around and looked at Gu Yandao.

"Master Gu, there is something that you have to catch. Let all the localities inspect the good fields, or when planting, to see if there are any unusual rice. If you find anything, report it to the court immediately."

"Whether it's big or small, if there is any abnormality found in various places, it must be reported. All the information will be sent to me by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Please take care of Mr. Gu."

Xu Qingxiao mentioned something.

Dawei is now developing in a good direction, but even if all the barren land is used, there is still one problem surrounding Dawei.

internal supply.

Most people don't eat millet at present. Rice is only eaten by people from poor families.

Most people eat a kind of small chestnut, which is not nutritious, but it is cheap and can fill their stomachs.

But the first goal of Xu Qingxiao's development of productivity is to make the people of the Wei Dynasty full, either eating something like Xiaoligu or real rice.

If you are full, you will have strength, you will be able to work if you have strength, and your body will become stronger. At least it is better than eating Oguri Valley, right?

After being strong and strong, the children born will not suffer from malnutrition on a large scale, and the premature death rate can be greatly reduced.

In this way, it is called prosperity.

Population is the first criterion of productivity.

Two years.

It was Xu Qingxiao who made a conservative estimate and told Gu Yan for three years because he was afraid that Gu Yan would not believe him.

Within two years, Xu Qingxiao can guarantee to solve the food problem of the current common people in Great Wei, but what Xu Qingxiao sees is definitely not the present, but the future.

At present, it is useless for the people of Great Wei to eat enough. It will be useful only if the people of Great Wei in the future can eat enough.

And with more and more food, the people at the bottom have money on hand, and things like farming desperately will gradually cool down sooner or later, and many people will also go into business.

This is an unavoidable phenomenon.

Therefore, in the future, such situations of landowners will definitely exist and cannot be eliminated, but no matter whether they are landowners or ordinary people cultivate, at least the impact on grain production will not fluctuate greatly.

The biggest problem is, the newborn in the future.

As long as the people of the Great Wei had enough to eat, there was nothing to do but make babies. Even as the family became better and better, two babies would be born if they had two mouthfuls of food, and three children would be born if they had three mouthfuls of rice.

It is very likely that after next year, the common people of Great Wei will start to make babies vigorously.

After all, life is getting better every day, so I must have more lives.

Then once the fertility rate rises, the food gap will increase instantly, and perfect domestic supply cannot be achieved by re-cultivating wasteland alone.

and so!

It is still necessary to find suitable seeds, or four-season rice, to double the grain production.

Or something similar to hybrid rice, one such rice is worth twice or even three times normal.

Only in this way can we cope with the future population expansion, otherwise it will be a mess.

Xu Qingxiao thought about it.

As long as he finds this kind of rice and can perfectly adapt to production, he dares to let the empress issue an imperial edict.

Encourage Dawei to give birth in an all-round way. There are prizes for giving birth to babies. Regardless of gender, parents only need to take out a little food subsidy until they are ten years old.

To reduce the pressure on the people of Wei to raise children, and when things get better and better in the future, how much money can they spend on something to eat?

Of course, this is just an idea, and we still have to wait until we find it.

just.

Just when Xu Qingxiao walked out of the household department and arrived outside the Hou's mansion, Li Xian's figure ran from not far away.

"Master Xu, Lord Xu."

"Your Majesty ordered you to enter the palace."

After Li Xian spoke, Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised, but soon he inexplicably guessed something.

"Did someone go to the palace and meet His Majesty? An old man?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

"Yes, yes, Xu Houye, you are really good at predicting things."

Li Xian spoke directly.

"Ugh."

With a long sigh, Xu Qingxiao didn't say anything, and walked directly towards the palace.

He originally wanted to ask for sick leave directly, but after thinking about it, if you ask for sick leave in front of other first-rank warriors, it would be a bit of a fool.

But Xu Qingxiao was a little depressed.

Is this martial artist sick?

Why are you staring at yourself?Although I do have a strange skeleton, but there are many martial arts wizards in the world, right?

I am a good scholar, and I have said that I will not be a teacher, so why do I still do this?

A little depressed, but he couldn't slap Yipin in the face, so Xu Qingxiao could only go on honestly, at worst, let's waste some more saliva.

And this moment.

in the palace.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The empress sat on the dragon chair, with a smile on her face, looking at the first-rank warriors of her highness.

She was also a little curious. As soon as Wu Ming came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the first thing he said was to meet Xu Qingxiao.

Although she didn't know what happened, she still ordered the eunuch to invite Xu Qingxiao to come.

After some inquiries, she found out that this first-rank martial artist had taken a fancy to Xu Qingxiao and wanted to take Xu Qingxiao as his apprentice, which made her heave a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a bad thing.

It's just that the waiting time is a bit long.

The empress thought for a while, and then said.

"Sir, the monster turmoil in the Chen country is quite difficult. I don't know... can you take the time to go there, sir?"

The empress honored Wu Ming as her husband, and her attitude and tone were extremely peaceful, not ordering but asking.

"Your Majesty, forgive me that I don't have time, and I can't spare myself."

Hearing this, Wu Ming directly refused. In fact, he insisted that he had time, but now he wanted to devote all his time to Xu Qingxiao, so he directly refused.
