Chapter 719: Farmers and Merchants?

The Emperor's decree finally came to Metroidvania.

The Emperor's decree finally came to Metroidvania.

When the Galaxy City was settled, Qian Rujun had already spread the news to Chang'an.

At this time, she must set off to Chang'an with the Huotou army.

In the will of Emperor Liu Hengsheng, there was no existence of students on Xuetang Island.

Although the Huotou Army had seen the students of Xuetang Island, and knew that these Xuetang Island students had made great efforts in the construction of Metroidvania, they still didn't know where the students of Xuetang Island came from and where they went, only that they would appear by their side when it was most necessary.

Now that they are going to return to Chang'an, these fireheads are a little reluctant.

Except for a few or two internal agents who belonged to the emperor, the others were ordinary military leaders after they returned.

In Metroidvania, what they can enjoy is a higher level of identity and life. Because, here they are managers and want to have a special identity.

They said that what they eat, drink, and use, in Metroidvania, is equivalent to the life of the children of a rich family, but they can only live the life of poor people in Chang'an.

After disarming and returning to the field, unless they have military merits, they can enjoy the authority of low-level officials, most of them, especially the Huotou army, although they are far away from danger, but there is no chance of meritorious service, so they must return to the common people.

It's great to have dry food to eat.

When they go back, they may be able to use some of the food that Qian Rujun taught them to become chefs instead.

It's just that some people live far away from the city, and if they want to open a store and do business, there will be no customers.

So the saddest thing about going back was not Qian Rujun, but the Huotou Army who was crying one by one, and was willing to let go of the grassland people.

"It seems that these Han people don't seem to be very happy to go back. Aren't their parents still at home? They don't miss their mothers?"

Qian Rujun looked at the reactions of the people below and felt very inexplicable.

She remembers hearing people say that the Han people always want to return to their hometowns for burial, and they hate leaving their hometowns the most, but looking at these fireheads, they don't seem to feel the sadness of leaving their hometowns and lands at all.

"Of course the princesses don't want to go home, they have courted a lot of little ladies here one by one. ”

"Isn't it only monogamy?"

"They all say that you have forgotten that as long as the Han people are willing to accept the women of the grassland, the women of the grassland can attach themselves to the Han people and eat more, in this case, you let the women of the grassland live separately from the men, and the women of the grassland can come into contact with the Han people, and they find that the Han people can give them more food, so they attach themselves to the Han people.

It is equivalent to the princess helping these Han people raise grassland women.

The prairie woman does not have our concept of chastity,

Whoever has food eats with whomever he wants, and as for the body, it should be paid for them.

Now many prairie women have children in their wombs, and some of them are still born. How can these Han people be willing to go back, they all have several children here!"

Xuetang Island students analyzed it to Qian Rujun to know.

"Then I ordered that these grassland women who have a relationship with others can take their children and follow the Han people back, they won't be so sad, right?"

Qian Rujun felt so annoying, why did things become like this?

Qian Rujun felt that it would cost money, "Princess, if you give this order, it is estimated that they will have the heart to hang themselves." ”

"Why do they want to kill themselves?"

"Princess, if you bring these women and children back, what will you let them take? If they have learned how to cook and can really open a shop at home, then forget it, they can raise a few more, and these women and children can also help.

But many people, he lives in a very rural place, and it is impossible to do business at all, unless he leaves home, but they may not be able to afford the living expenses of leaving home.

And when he leaves the house and goes out to work, he must leave some money at home, and if so many women are brought back, how much money will he have to keep?"

"Are these women able to work and do business? What do they men think, completely deny the ability of women to work? ”

The unequal treatment of men and women is an eternal pain in Qian Rujun's heart.

For Qian Rujun, the era in which he lived was already the highest status of women, and there was no way for women to compare with men in the Han Dynasty, because women were simply regarded as tools for childbearing, and wealth was not a person.

Even if she is a noble girl and a talented woman, she is not a person, she is just a tool of the family.

It's just that she can be a more useful tool, and even find the right to repair the tool to make herself more useful.

"These fireheads are also ordinary people who can't read.

Everything they learned was what they had heard before, and in Dahan, they thought what the environment said, and rarely had their own opinions.

Unless we spend a lot of time brainwashing them, or we want them to accept that women can work, even if they can see it, they can't trust it.

They will think that this is a situation in which the heavens and the earth are about to collapse.

Princess, you once told us how difficult it is for the human mind to change, and how easy it is to change the minds of others, perhaps only the woman who can hypnotize others, and the princess. ”

Said the student of Gakudo Island.

Qian Rujun would never want to ask the students of Xuetang Island if she thought it was a terrible thing for her to help others brainwash.

Because she is unhappy when she hears the truth, and when she hears a lie, it is estimated that she is not happy either, because if she hears a lie, it means that the effect of brainwashing has failed.

So he shifted the conversation back to these fireheads.

"Actually, I don't really allow them to bring these grassland women back, because these grassland women, in fact, if there are too many of them.

It also has a great impact on our township, for the Han women, the women of the grassland are too wild, it is estimated that if many people start to learn the women of the grassland, the men of the Han Dynasty will probably not be able to stand it!"

"These big men are not already with these grassland women, and they have given birth to a lot of children, there are only more than two hundred people in the Huotou Army, but there are more than 1,000 newborns in my door, of which there are seven or eight hundred, all of whom are descendants of these people. ”

"After the lactation period, remember to let the management of Metroidvania collect everyone, and don't let the women of the grassland educate them, because after all, they are the descendants of the Han men, even if the Han men go home, they can't be turned into grassland people like this.

We have to raise them as Han people. It's just that these people, whether there is a way to turn the grassland people into Han people depends on their final efforts. ”

"Aren't you coming back to Metroidvania? There's still a lot of work to be done in Metroidvania. It was a city that was not finished yet. ”

"Even if you want to come back, there is no way to come back openly, this time I was transferred, it is estimated that Emperor Liu Heng will send someone to manage this city, and I will never return to this city again.

If you want to come, you can only do it privately, and you can't let the emperor know.

I can't come, but the Emperor will listen to my advice and will definitely follow it.

Because the emperor has no grasp of the management of this city, he can only follow my model to do it, if the emperor does not follow my model to do it, I also have the ability to make the grassland people mess up, so that the emperor has to do this. ”

"Is it the same no matter who the princess comes?"

"Even if the crown prince comes, it's the same. Unless he can understand the importance of Metroidvania.

If I can be sure that he is the one who can really defend and develop Metroidvania, I will give him the opportunity to let Peng Yuyong cooperate with him. ”

"Peng Yuyong's current handover situation is very good, and now all our students on Xuetang Island have withdrawn from the management of Metroidvania City, and then followed the princess.

After other people, they still watched them do things, and if they didn't do well, they would tell them.

Teach them a little more while we're still around, after all, they're ordinary people and want to be familiar with them.

It takes a little time to master the skills of being a high-ranking official, and we are afraid that they will lose their minds, and after becoming a high-ranking official and having power, they will bring out the worse things in their nature. ”

"This, take a look, after all, their essence is not too good, if their essence is really brought into play, they are not qualified for this job, so they have to let Peng Yuyong kill him, how to deal with it, it is up to Peng Yu to decide. ”

"Isn't there a decision to settle the storm? She has a lot of people in secret. ”

"But those are the women of the steppe. It seems that her hypnotism works much better on women than on men, so I let him lead these women of the steppe. also let her live a better life with these prairie women and choose a good husband, after all, these prairie men really don't seem to be good husbands in my eyes. Although they are serious and responsible for men and ethnic groups, they are really not very good to women. ”

"Let Peng Yuyong manage the officials, and let Ding Fengbo manage the businesswoman, which can be regarded as a matter of material.

However, the women of the grassland really know much more about business than men.

Because the men of the grassland still don't understand how to buy and sell pasture.

A lot of people look like we're ready to fail, but women's ranches are doing a good job at it, if not by themselves. ”

"Don't look down on these prairie men, have you noticed that although these women can manage their own families very well and run them well, they don't have much development.

But men have the courage to develop outwardly, although more people are failures, but successful people, he will soon be able to gather a batch of wealth, and then continue to develop the next one.

So I think the big businessmen in Metroidvania City in the future will be men, not women, as for the small and medium-sized bosses here, it is estimated that most of them are women, and the loneliness at the bottom is the grassland men, as well as the subjugated tribes. ”

"Isn't there any development for us Han people here?" asked the student of Xuetang Island, puzzled.

"Actually, I really hope that the Han people will come to this place to farm, there is too much fertile land to cultivate, if it is developed, there is really too much food that can be produced, at least in the first few years, even if they don't apply fertilizer, the yield can be several times more than the agricultural land of the Han Dynasty." ”

"But the results of our observation are that the Han people who come to this place, although at the beginning, may consult how to farm, but in the end there are not many people who farm, most of them go to business, and even many people start farming and end up doing business.

But I think that people who farm in Jinmaicheng will farm honestly, and they will not necessarily envy people who do business, so they will run to do business, after all, renting a storefront also requires a lot of money.

However, the money for renting stores in Metroidos City is indeed relatively small, and all the stores belong to the public, so the current rental situation is still relatively fair.

Could it be that these people will run to do business without farming, because our stores are too cheap, so they can easily make money, and when they make money in business, as long as they make a little money, they will earn more than farming. ”

"In fact, the income from farming can be much higher than that of doing business, but if they don't have input, there will be no output, and the so-called input needs enough agricultural equipment and tools to enable a person to produce more food. Now this kind of all-human production is limited, and the fields that one person can take care of are also limited. ”

"But if this is the case, princess, speaking of which, only the rich have the opportunity to increase the productivity of the land, and to plant a lot of land and make a lot of money. But a rich man doesn't farm himself, right?"

"Therefore, most of the state's tax revenue comes from them, and the farmers who work in the fields should give back to them, open channels for farmers, prepare the most advanced agricultural tools for farmers, collect the most productive seeds, and increase farmers' agricultural harvests."

Instead of letting some people be fed, clothed, and have nothing to do, or even to squeeze the people. ”

"The taxes that can be collected by the Han seem to be gone after paying the salaries of officials and the grain and grass of the army. The emperor was not a man who did not love the people. At least, he is still better for the people of Guanzhong.

But it has to be said that he does not understand what the peasants really need, and all he can take care of is to reduce or reduce some taxes.

To really make the peasants feel at ease, you have to make every piece of land have to pay taxes, you know most of the fields belong to the high officials, the gentry, and those lands are not taxable. There are even many ways to avoid taxes. The state asks the poorest people for money, and the rich don't want money, so how can the country get rich. If the country does not become rich, how can it take care of the peasants? If it does not take care of the peasants, how can the peasants increase production?

The peasants can rely on themselves, but on their own, it is too slow to demand progress. ”

"I understand why there are almost no poor people in the vicinity of Jinmai City, and almost everyone has a higher production force than anywhere else.

Because the princess gave them back the money she had received from them, the princess herself did not have to pay for it at all. ”
