I have a backstage in Datang

"Minister Duan Zhixuan, his family reclaimed 1800 mu of land and harvested [-] shi of cotton."

"My minister, Li Jing, opened up 1700 mu of wasteland at home and harvested [-] shi of cotton."

"..."

"..."

As Wu Xun reported the numbers one by one, it was discovered that, as Li Shimin said, these emerging forces were limited to a shallow foundation, resulting in mediocre yields per mu of cotton fields.

Soon, it was the old family's turn to count.

"The Wang family in Taiyuan opened up 3500 mu of wasteland, and the total number of cotton harvested is estimated to be [-] shi."

"The Zheng family in Xingyang opened up 3700 mu of wasteland, and the total amount of cotton harvested is estimated to be [-] shi."

"..."

"..." Zhuozhuo

"The Cui family of Qinghe opened up 4600 mu of wasteland and harvested [-] shi of cotton"

hiss!

Wu Xun gasped.

Almost all the old-school aristocratic families had a yield of more than 100 catties per mu, and when Qinghe Cui said the number, the shocked eyes of the generals present were straightened.

3 mu of land, 4600 shi were harvested.

What yield is this?This is more than 150 catties per mu!

One mu of land is 50 catties more than theirs.

What kind of huge income will be gained from 3 mu of land?

General Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but asked, subconsciously asked: "Everyone is also farming wasteland, why is the Cui family's output so high?"

But the head of the Cui clan smiled leisurely, and said lightly: "Without it, the Cui family just has a lot of money."

He paused slightly while speaking, and said in a very flat tone: "It is precisely because I am willing to spend money that the output is high."

Wu Xun felt uncomfortable.

Duan Zhixuan took a deep breath, tried to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and questioned again: "We also squandered money, and no one saves money. Since everyone is squandering money, why is the Cui family producing so much?"

The patriarch of the Cui clan still smiled leisurely, and said lightly: "It's very simple, you have not smashed as much as the Cui family."

anxious!

Wu Xun rolled their eyes in unison.

than rich?

Who can compare with your Qinghe Cui family?

This old guy has such an aggressive tone, I'm afraid he's going to shake completely today.

Sure enough, the patriarch of the Cui clan continued to smile, and suddenly asked everyone: "Can the people under your command provide three meals of meat every day?"

The warriors all snorted, turned their heads and pretended not to hear.

Provide three meals of meat to the people every day?

We would like to do the same...

but!

Financial resources can't support it.

However, the patriarch of the Cui clan smiled and asked again, "The people who open up wasteland under your command, can you guarantee that the family can use a farming ox?"

I'm jealous!

Heartbreak!

The Wu Xuns collectively shut their mouths, but their teeth were gritted.

When Youzhou opened up wasteland before, Gu Tianya threw out a plan to go to Liaodong to plunder cattle. The old family had already killed all their private soldiers, so they could only hire Gu Tianya's black armored cavalry, but their martial arts families didn't need it. , They can grab it directly with the steps at home.

Every time the aristocratic family got a farm ox, it was a real deal of money.

And they brought their own trilogy to rob farm cattle with almost no expenditure.

Obviously has such a big advantage.

Unexpectedly, I still haven't won the family...

Especially the Qinghe Cui family.

The rule Gu Tianya set was that two households share one farm ox, and the Cui family directly provided one cow to each of the people under his command.厺厽 Miaobifang miaobifang.com 厺厽

How does this compare?

No wonder the Cui family can produce more than 150 catties per mu.

However, old man Cui didn't seem to have finished showing off, so he asked them again with a smile: "There is also the matter of bachelors marrying Han women. How many of them have you helped the people under your command to solve? Dozens? Or hundreds? I am Qinghe Cui. He is not talented, but he only helped [-] bachelors marry daughters-in-law, built a small courtyard for each household, and gave two congratulatory gifts when they got married..."

Nima!

It's not over, is it?

The roots of Wu Xun's teeth itch with hatred.

Even Li Shimin looked a bit ugly, and sat on the dragon chair, sulking resentfully.

The Cui family of Qinghe spends money like this, which ordinary people are not willing to dig out their hearts and lungs?Under the onslaught of such treatment, how can the common people not work hard?

Everyone's mood to report production was suddenly not high.

Next, they all briefly talked about their own output in a perfunctory manner.

With a shit-stirring stick like Qinghe Cui's rich and powerful, no one would be ashamed to show off their gains.

……

Finally, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty reported their output.

All eyes turned to Li Shimin.

Cheng Yaojin chuckled twice, stood up and rubbed his big hands and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the output of the royal family?"

Duan Zhixuan also stood up and winked, and said with a chuckle: "Yes, yes, your Majesty, please tell me."

This group of Wu Xun is very bad.

Ready to pull Li Shimin into shame.

Just now they were uncomfortable being suffocated by Cui Shi of Qinghe, so they planned to drag Li Shimin to taste it too.

Even members of some aristocratic families actually participated at this time, and after bowing their hands and bowing, they pretended to be curious and asked, "Your Majesty has always been proud of himself since he came to court, so the royal family's cotton production should be very high, right? "

Li Shimin was about to open his mouth to show off.

Suddenly, he saw the Cui clan leader in Chaoban.

The emperor suddenly felt bored.

The royal cotton yield per mu is indeed not low, but no matter how high it is, it is not as high as 150 catties. If it is barely converted, it can barely reach the threshold of 120 catties.

Li Shimin resentfully chose not to mention it, and just snorted coldly: "How can I do such a showy thing like a child."

Hard mouth!

Your Majesty, this is obviously blunt.

The ministers looked at each other, secretly laughing in their hearts.

……

At this time Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief, and said leisurely: "I have been throwing money for half a year, and today I finally see the benefits. I think all my lovers are the same as me, and my heart has long been impatient and impatient. If this is the case, I will no longer play tricks." .”

All the ministers immediately turned serious, it was time to get down to business.

Sure enough, the emperor opened his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "Actually, everyone understands in their hearts that after the cotton is picked, it cannot be regarded as income. It needs to be sold to Gu Tianya's textile industry, and it can be converted into points based on the sales value."

The emperor stopped talking, his eyes swept over everyone, and then said: "After getting the points, you will be eligible to exchange for treasures. As we all know, there are too many treasures that can be exchanged for points, such as children's magic medicine vaccines, such as various All kinds of precision tools, and according to the agreement between my brother-in-law and everyone, from now on, things exchanged for points can be sold to foreigners..."

The emperor paused while speaking, and then continued: "Before, I had someone secretly sell a box of vaccines to people from the Western Regions as a test, but it turned out that only a box of magic medicine was exchanged for a full twenty agates. If it is converted into Money, at least fifty pennies away. But how much does it cost to exchange for a box of magic medicine? I think that you love me, no one knows..."

A Marquis of Wuxun County couldn't hold back his excitement, rubbed his big hands and said, "I've changed it many times, and I remember the price very well. After a discounted box of vaccines, it only costs 0.5 points."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, only 0.5 points are needed."

The emperor glanced at the audience, and finally gave the long-awaited answer, saying: "About the price of cotton sold to textile workshops, my brother-in-law told me half a year ago, how much is it, 100 catties of cotton 5 points."

Whoa!

There was an uproar.

Then there was collective excitement.

It's paid back, it's completely paid back.I have been spending money to open up wasteland for more than half a year, and finally it's time to get back the money.

Not just cash back.

And make a lot of money.

100 cotton can be sold for 5 points.

5 points can be exchanged for 10 boxes of magic medicine.

And what is the concept of selling a box of magic medicine to foreigners?The price that His Majesty asked people to test out was twenty agates from the Western Regions.

The value is 50 guan.

What about 10 boxes of magic medicine?

That's 500 guan...

100 catties of cotton directly turned into a huge profit worth 500 guan through points conversion. If the cotton yield per mu is calculated at 100 jin, this is equivalent to a profit of 500 guan for one mu of land.

Although this is due to the scarcity of sales, it will definitely not be sold at such a high price in the future, but even if it is cut in half, it will still be a huge profit of 25%.

The most important thing is that points can be exchanged for more than just magic medicine, which means that there is more than one commodity that can be sold to foreigners to plunder wealth.

Gum!

Many ministers heard the sound of swallowing their saliva.

Chapter 308 [Gu Tianya's True Intentions]

At this time, Youzhou.

The sky is the same as that of Datang, it is a bright morning light.

Gu Tianya sat on the steps in front of the door, occasionally brought the cigarette in his hand to his mouth, took a puff, and exhaled slowly.

The doorway was filled with smoke.

He looked far away in the direction of the Central Plains, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

But he remained silent.

After one cigarette was exhausted, he subconsciously took out another one, lit it up again and took another puff, falling into the puffing of clouds again.

Then he muttered to himself: "At this point in time, the morning court in Chang'an should have begun."

He paused for a while while talking, and then said softly: "Finally we've made it to this day."

With deep and distant eyes, he raised his hand and wanted to smoke again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly heard the door creak behind me, and saw Zhaoning rushing to the steps in two or three steps, stretching out his hand to snatch the cigarette away.

"Gu Tianya, you're smoking again!"

This roar made Gu Tianya tremble, and felt something was wrong in his heart, and he wanted to run away.

It's a pity that the ears were grabbed by someone in an instant.

But seeing Zhaoning's distressed face, his tone pretended to be angry, and he said angrily, "Are you trying to piss us off? Did the scars heal and forget the pain? Sister Chang'e has told you many times that smoking too much will hurt you." body of."

Gu Tianya subconsciously said, "I just took a few sips."

Zhaoning was 'in a rage', pointing to a pile of cigarette butts and said: "How many puffs is this called? I think it was a night of smoking!"

Gu Tianya hastily coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
