Chapter 785: Stockpiling Grain
Seven or eight hundred pounds?
Hearing this data, everyone's eyes widened, and they didn't care about drinking, so they all crowded in front of them.
"Impossible! How could there be so many pounds of seven hundred pounds? ”
"That's it, this is the food in the sky, so it can't be as much as seven or eight hundred catties, right?"
"Isn't it, if there is so much grain in one acre of land, then where will people starve to death in the future! Just plant a few acres of land, and it's enough for a family to eat! ”
"Yes, with an output of seven or eight hundred catties, you can eat and drink without worrying about it this year, so can't the people live a rich life?"
Today's people are extremely diligent.
Alone, working in the field from morning to night, getting up early and greedy for darkness, there is no laziness.
If there is such an output, the people will definitely become rich!
It's just that there really is such a high yield of food? How do they sound unlikely?
Naturally, everyone felt a little unconvinced, so they looked at the person in front of them with a thick doubt in their eyes.
You can't lie about this, once it's true, it's too important for their Star Han Empire.
"Naturally, it's true, I went to collect the grain myself, good guy, every acre of land is the kind of golden grain, and it is extremely delicious, and the people of the court are kind enough to give us a little food!"
Saying this, he closed his eyes with a feeling of enjoying the memories, "You don't know, that thing is so delicious, I've never eaten it before." ”
The corn is still very delicious, especially for someone like him who has never eaten it at all.
When the people on the side heard this, they immediately became commotionful.
Looking at the other party's appearance, it doesn't look like they're lying!
If it's true, it's terrible!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other.
The scholar on the side flushed with excitement.
"God bless my Xinghan, the founding monarch is Mingjun, he treats the people very well, exempts so many taxes, and now he has this food, this is really protecting my Xinghan! It's definitely bless my star Han Yongchang! ”
"Yes, if this grain is true, then in the future, my Xinghan Empire will only become stronger and stronger, and it will definitely be able to make the four seas succumb to us!"
At this time, even the scholars knew that what the saints like most today is to engage in this kind of thing to expand the territory.
Under the propaganda of countless people, everyone feels that this expansion of territory is the right thing to do, and no one thinks that it should not be.
Therefore, the Confucian scholars all had a hint of belligerence at this time.
"I also heard that next year, the imperial court will distribute these grain seeds, so that the people can cultivate, and the price of grain is extremely cheap, much cheaper than rice and the like."
"If there is such cheap grain and such an output, the people will grow it."
The crowd said one by one.
I am already full of hope for the future.
In such a Xiaoice climate, they felt for the first time that this Xiaoice River was not so terrible.
It even feels like this Xiaoice River is nothing more than that.
It didn't take long for the news of the high grain yield to spread immediately.
When some businessmen heard the news, their hearts moved.
If this is true, I am afraid that the price of food will not be able to rise in the future.
In this way, it is also appropriate to sell some of the grain in the grain depot of one's own family.
They didn't know that at this time, countless seeds had already begun to be transferred to various places.
At this time, it has begun to cope with next year's spring ploughing, which is a top priority for the imperial court.
.....
"What's going on, has the news gotten out?"
Lu Chensheng sat in the imperial study and asked the minister on the side.
"If you return to the Holy Lord, the news has already spread, and I think that with these news, when the imperial court issues a holy decree, the people will be easy to accept new grain planting, and they will also go to cultivate."
The news of the people was deliberately spread by the imperial court, so that the people could accept it in advance.
In this way, if the imperial court is issuing orders at that time, the people will accept it much faster.
"Well, that's good, the seeds of the grain are all distributed, and they must be completed before the autumn harvest, and then the people will be ordered to go to the yamen to buy seeds."
Lu Chensheng looked down at Song Shu and said one by one.
Naturally, the ministers echoed the same voice.
"The household department has become a lot richer this year, and there are still many cities that are extremely poor, so allocate more money to support the construction."
Lu Chensheng rubbed his forehead when he said this, to put it mildly, there are only a few rich places in the entire Xinghan Empire.
Most of the rest of the land is extremely poor, and the people are living in extreme poverty.
Even if you don't ask for too much tax, this poverty situation will not be improved overnight.
Naturally, the imperial court will help.
Li Daifu naturally had no reason not to agree, and replied, "The Holy Lord, a lot of funds have already been allocated, but I still hope that the Holy Lord can send Buyanwei to supervise one or two, but don't let the money go down, and I won't see any effect at that time." ”
This money is not just for those officials to do face-saving projects.
For example, just to repair the house, to make the whole city look better or something, more, still need to be used in practical things.
"Needless to say, the guard will supervise it."
Lu Chensheng replied, this is what Buyanwei should do, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Li Daifu clicked to the end, and after mentioning a sentence, he didn't speak.
"In addition, since the household department has become much richer this year, it has allocated three million taels of silver to purchase grain and store it in the granary, and in the next few days, the household department must find a way to make the granary have 10 billion tons of grain storage."
A few years ago, because the treasury was empty, there was really no money to buy grain and store it.
Lu Chensheng also put this matter aside, but this year is not good, the treasury has been enriched a lot.
Lu Chensheng needs to store grain on the side of the granary, according to the hundreds of millions of people in the Xinghan Empire today, it is not too much to save tens of billions of tons of grain.
Moreover, according to the survey of the household department, the population of the Xinghan Empire began to skyrocket this year.
So far this year alone, the number of newborn babies has reached 10 million!
I think there will be more of it next year.
It's a good thing that the people can have more children, otherwise it would be embarrassing to wait until the territory expands in the future, but there is no population to send them.
