Chapter 121: Talent
Why did the emperors of ancient China like to do the most show is to take the lead in farming? Because in the agricultural civilization, everything revolves around the word 'farming', as long as it can encourage the development of farming, the Chinese emperor is the most welcome, and this is the reason why ancient China has always been able to lead the West.
Of course not, but Lelouch led by example and told everyone under his rule the clearest message, that is, in my territory, cultivated land is the most important thing, and even I have to work in the field myself, if you people dare to hinder the development of the cause of cultivated land, then you will directly work against me!
In the East, the result of this stance was the class system of agriculture and industry, as well as land annexation, but in the West, although the West also had land annexation, it was more lenient in terms of land than in the West. (But in terms of class level, it is far behind, and there is no concept in the West that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people.) )
The reason why Lelouch attaches so much importance to this autumn harvest is also because this autumn harvest is the first harvest season under full production since the establishment of the garrison area, and under the wholehearted cultivation of nearly one million farmers, the crops in the garrison area have ushered in explosive growth, and the endless golden wheat fields outside the Horn Fort are the best proof.
Countless peasants spread throughout the garrison, and then abolished the agricultural tax, and gave a generous agricultural subsidy, the peasants broke out to make the Baicheng lords unbelievable enthusiasm for work, in this year's reclamation, there were even cases of exhausting themselves in the field, in this crazy enthusiasm for work, the agricultural harvest is a matter of course, but how much is the harvest, but it is not clear, and Lelouch is ready to speed up the harvest, as much as possible to liberate the labor force, although the land is extremely fertile, but there is no record of floods, drought and locust plagues have not appeared, so Lelouch is ready to mobilize a large number of laborers for infrastructure construction after the bumper harvest stabilizes the situation.
In the winter construction planned by Lu Luxiu, Lu Lu Xiu dealt with the expansion and improvement of intercity roads, but also to repair old roads, optimize rural roads, just this road planning, Lu Lu Xiu estimated that it would cost 500,000 people, but this money Lu Lu Xiu re-paid the farmers with the return of agricultural subsidy compensation, but did not spend too much, with the production of Mubao and Banker Industrial Zone, but it was barely supported, but although the sales of beer are growing, but the profit has almost peaked, and it will not decline in the short term, but the same will not rise。
Lelouch also conceived several new ways to transfer money, but he has not had time to put it into action, and the bulk of the tax revenue in the future will naturally be commercial tax and industrial production, but at present, Lelouxiu's industry is still biased towards heavy industry, and the purchasing power of the peasants has not yet developed, and the vast majority of industrial production is still sold to the nobles of Baicheng and the caravans from the outside.
The autumn harvest was completed with great enthusiasm at a very fast speed, and the harvesting activities that originally took half a month to a month were completed in just one week, and the farmers who had a good harvest found that after removing the agricultural loans that should be repaid to the government, almost every household used the grain that the whole family could not eat every day, three meals a day, and if you add the mushrooms and chickens and ducks raised at home, the small days of the year would not be much more moisturized.
And just after the harvest was completed, the long-awaited grain buying team also set off!
Note: It's been a busy few days, it's a thousand today, and I'm going to be busy soon, and I can recover three thousand tomorrow!
