Chapter 790: Annual Output
The weather gradually began to cool again, and the autumn harvest began in various parts of Xinghan.
There is quite a lot going on in the Xinghan Empire this year.
First, the northern kingdom invaded, and it was directly destroyed soon after.
This matter is quite big, and several countries around Xinghan are trembling, afraid that it will be their turn when the time comes.
After all, before the destruction of this northern country, there were already Zada tribes in the forefront, and now there is another northern country.
These two countries have fallen one after another, and it has only been less than half a year, right?
Anyone can see that this Xinghan Empire is quite irritable now, and if you look at me, I will send troops to destroy the country.
Among them, the countries of the Western Regions were all relieved.
Since they began to return to Shun, they agreed to the conditions of the Xinghan Empire, and now most of them have migrated and branched into the various cities that the Xinghan Empire has placed for them.
In this way, they are separated, but not too far.
In normal times, there is no difference between them and the Han people here.
However, their clothes and language, etc., have begun to develop in the direction of the Han people.
But at the end of the day, there's nothing wrong with that.
At least it's much better than this Beifan country, look at today's Beifan country, I heard the news later, after the Han army entered, the Beifan country has basically been eliminated.
Although there is the reason why Beifanguo slaughtered the Han people before, the revenge behind it still makes their hearts cold.
Except for these small countries that are afraid of the Xinghan Empire, the Grand Duchy of Kiev is extremely unconcerned.
The two countries are neighbors, but they have not had any contact with each other, and although there was some friction before, it did not turn into a big war.
For this Xinghan Empire, I haven't cared much about it.
Their Grand Duchy of Kiev was so strong, how could they be afraid of this newly rising Han dynasty?
In addition to these things, there is also an overseas foreign country to come to the court, and I heard that millions of silver were paid for the offering, which made many scholars raise their eyebrows after hearing about it.
Isn't it a sign that foreign nations from overseas have come to pay tribute?
There is another big thing, that is, before the autumn harvest this year, the imperial court made a new thing.
This thing can quickly beat the rice and turn it into rice.
After having this thing? Can the people be much more relaxed? Don't have to work so hard to make rice.
There aren't many of them right now, but by next year? I believe that there will be at least 10 units in each city.
And the people of the village? You can also scrape together money to buy one.
It's not a bad thing for the village to have one.
After all? There are so many fields planted in the village, it takes more than a month to make rice? What if there was more food? I'm afraid it's not enough for a month.
Moreover, according to the price given by the imperial court, this machine is not too expensive.
For this machine, it has also spread to all parts of Xinghan.
Many people have heard of such a machine? But I haven't seen exactly what it is.
But this strange machine? It has been spread all over the world, so that the people revered in their hearts, and they have more and more trust in this court.
Since the establishment of the Xinghan Empire, it has been doing a lot of practical things and doing things for the people.
What does this look like to the people? It's really very good.
Now their lives are gradually improving.
When is it this year? The number of married daughters also began to climb.
When the empire was just being established, the imperial court decreed that women under the age of twenty could not be allowed to marry.
After being stuck for so many years? The number of marriages is rising this year, and in a city? On an auspicious day of the zodiac? More than a dozen marriages can be seen.
And just like the decree issued by the imperial court? Most of the women who marry after 20 are not in any danger when they give birth.
This made the people naturally more and more trusting of the court.
In Xinghan City, after the rice beater came out, three places were set up in the city to place the rice beater.
Rice can be beaten in these three places, and the people come with rice, and two hundred catties of rice can be beaten with only one copper coin.
This can be said to be a very good deal.
These two hundred catties of rice, if you go to beat it yourself, it will take a few days to say the least.
And in the past few days, they have gone to find something to do on their own, and it is more than one copper coin.
Nowadays, there is a lot of work, and going out to dig rivers and canals is a daily end, and there are several copper coins a day.
In these three places where rice is beaten, there is an endless stream of people coming, and the machine has been roaring without stopping.
And some careful people also calculated and found that the machine was always on, and in addition to the coal burned, the coal needed was basically enough to spend three copper coins.
And at the end of the day, this machine can earn more than 20 copper coins!
If you do the math, you can earn more than 100 copper coins in a month!
Some businessmen directly discovered the benefits here, but unfortunately, there are not many machines at present, and most of them have been booked by some families.
If they don't have a way, they can only wait.
When the time comes, you can make a lot of money by buying a few and putting them in some places.
Some of them are rice shops, and it is very cost-effective to get such a machine.
In the palace, Lu Chensheng watched Song Shu, and the ministers were helping to deal with government affairs on the side.
Except for some important things, which need to be seen by Lu Chensheng, many of the rest of the things are for the ministers to solve by themselves.
"Hasn't this year's grain harvest improved?"
Lu Chensheng asked.
It's already the autumn harvest, and although it's a bit too early to ask at this time, it's actually possible to calculate this year's autumn harvest based on some circumstances.
For example, some droughts, the situation of empty grain shells is estimated.
"I'm afraid this year's grain output will not increase much, and it may even decrease a lot."
Hearing this, Tobe Shangshu hurriedly got up and responded.
"According to the submissions from all over the country, Yunmeng City, which should be the largest grain producer, submitted a report to the south this year that a lot of rice was frozen.
There is also Yunyun City, this year there was a big flood, many crops were flooded, and in addition, there are four cities in Jiyun, and this year's grain production is not very good..."
Saiwai was originally three cities, but now counting Xinghan City, it is four cities, and after solving the Zada clan, the reclaimed fields have expanded a lot.
