360: The source of Shu wealth

What did you do from the south?

Look at Chongyang Medicine Market, Yuanxi Dengshan.

When you spend time, you are happy, and your hat hangs down.

……

The world's famous towns, Yang one benefit two.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou and Yizhou have the reputation of being rich and rich in the world.

When the wheel of history rolled into the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Yangzhou, which transferred the whole country, was surrounded by war, Yizhou ascended to the realm of heaven and earth, and I was the only rich.

Why is Yizhou so rich?

Before Qin Yue took charge of Yizhou, he took it for granted that the Sichuan Plain, the country of abundance, simply thought that wealth was grown in the fields. He was right, the four roads of the Sichuan Gorge, the four seasons are distinct, the climate is pleasant, the land is narrow and thick, the people are diligent in farming, and there is no inch of land......

The land of abundance is not called in vain.

However, if you just dig in the ground, you can only achieve enough food, and the real wealth is still business.

The four corners of Shu stretch for thousands of miles, not only the soil and things, but also the goods to Tibet.

In layman's terms, this is a commodity export base, not only facing the Central Plains, Jiangnan, the North, and the Western Regions, but also down the river and then drifting out to the sea.

Shu embroidery, Shu brocade, the tribute treasures of the Tang Dynasty, still brought huge economic benefits to Shuzhong at this time, the dark-skinned Fujian merchants were stationed for a long time, and the merchants of the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes also came and went from time to time.

"Ten kinds of brocade" is famous all over the world, and it is the largest export to earn foreign exchange.

In addition, there are many salt wells in Shudi, and it is needless to say that the salt merchants are rich.

There is a lot of tea in Shuzhong, tea merchants are all over the world, and the famous ancient tea horse road does not know how much wealth has been brought to Shuzhong.

The people in Shu are rich in millet and many in the world, the wine-making skills are unparalleled in the world, and the wise Shu people do not go out of the grain of rice, and it is difficult to pass through the plank road, and under the heavy difficulties of shipping, they forcibly turn the corn into high-end consumer goods, and exchange more wealth to the southern Tang and Chu lands, and even go to the north by sea......

But for ordinary people, the best cash crop is hemp, which can be planted on the roadside slope, and even manure is not used.

As early as the former Tang Dynasty, the famous financial expert and economic minister Fifth Qi attached equal importance to Shu Ma and Wu Yan and Tongzhi.

Sacks are national strategic goods.

In addition, silk cloth and paper are also in large quantities. Xue Tao, who represents the "peach blossom color of the Huanhua paper and the jade hook of the poem and the jade hook" in the note, was born on the bank of the Huanhua River, and the scholars of the world competed to praise it.

The bulk trade that affects the income of mountain farmers is medicinal materials, the Shuzhong Plain is fat, and the 100,000 mountains are hidden treasures.

Shu people don't live too comfortably.

……

However, Qin Yue knocked his head and didn't expect that the most lucrative commodity turned out to be books, and the most bullish businessman was a bookseller.

The Shu edition of books was not only in demand in the declining Middle Zhou Dynasty, but also a must-have for the merry scholars of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

From Lingnan to the north, readers are proud of the Shu edition of books.

It's really making money, earning elegant and unique.

That's ......

It was really beyond Qin Yue's perception.

It is precisely because of the abundance of products and the prosperity of trading that Yizhou business has formed a very distinctive monthly market, which changes every month:

New Year's Lamp City.

February Flower Market.

Silkworm market in March.

April Nishiki City.

May Fan Market.

June Fragrance City.

Qibao City in July.

August Gui City.

September Pharmacy Market.

October Wine Market.

November in the city of May.

Mofu City in December.

Among them, the silkworm market is the most famous, and the time span is also the longest, from the beginning of the first month to August, but the most prosperous and lively is March. Literati and writers of all ages do not know how many popular poems have been written.

In addition, there are also a variety of grass markets in various townships and towns.

……

Therefore, when Han Hui pointed to the 1.62 million yuan of commercial tax income, and sighed that it was worth half a year's tax income of the imperial court, Qin Yue was really stunned.

"How is that possible?"

"The court is poor......

“……”

Although he has been wandering all over the world with his master since he was a child, he has never endured hardships, and his money has never been like flowing water, and he always has more silver than copper coins, 1.62 million yuan, it is really hard to believe that this number is so heavy, and the gap between the rich and the poor between the two countries is so large.

It is the official more elegant name, and Qin Yue is still used to the folk name "Guan", and it is consistent.

I didn't expect copper coins to be worth so much.

No wonder......

The emperors of all dynasties liked to do the most:

- It is to raid the house.

asked for advice humbly at the moment, and found out from Han Hui's introduction that Guo Rong was simply worried about revitalizing the economy.

The Central Plains is in frequent wars, with few people and more land.

In the first two years after Guo Rong ascended the throne, he tried his best to force people to farm, encouraged farming, and granted 100 mu of land to each household, and if the field strength was poor, 150 mu or 200 mu. If there are more than three dings in the household, and then grant land, in short, the more you plant, the better, and the more rewards you will get, and this is also the most important achievement of the state and county officials.

Subsequently, for the Han people in Jinyang and Northern Liao, a number of encouraging policies were introduced for the families who fled to Tibet, which can be summed up in one sentence, come back, come to the middle of the week, give you the best place to resettle, ask for money to give money, ask for land, officials give cattle, officials give seeds, tax exemption for five years, five years not for ten years, as long as you farm land, everything is negotiable.

Farming alone is not enough, because farming can only produce grain, what should the people do if they have no money?

In the third year of Xiande, a tree planting policy was introduced.

The people planted trees, and the civil registration was set as the fifth class, and the first class planted miscellaneous trees were 100, and each class was minus 20 to the difference, half of the mulberry trees and half of the fruit trees.

Not only adults have tasks, but children also have planting tasks, but it is really not possible, use a small hoe to plant a leek.

In addition to overhauling water conservancy, drilling wells was implemented as a national policy, and one well for five households could not be missing.

The above are all hard assessment indicators for officials, including leeks planted by children, and officials inspect them in spring and autumn.

Therefore, as a state and county official in the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, there are three mountains to be climbed, one is how much grain production increases, the second is how much population increases, and the third is how much mulberry dates are produced.

…… But it depends on how much can be dug out of the field.

On the other hand, Meng Chang is not too easy for him.

The situation in Shuzhong is the opposite of the national situation in the Middle Zhou Dynasty.

Shuzhong is a lot of people and little land, and it is changing the way to create an economy.

Taking Yizhou as an example, it is remarkable that an ordinary household can have five acres, Tian Li is not allowed to be idle at all, and those who see the seams and needles on the roadside slope have to plant something, which is really not good, and there are a few puffs of sisal in the cracks of the stone wall.

It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating.

"In the past two days, I sorted out the books and found that there was a small official in the household department, who was quite alert and familiar with the state household registration and taxation and warehouse acceptance, do you want to see it?"

"What's your name and how old are you?"

"The surname is Zou Mingyan, the word Yanwen, a native of Wenjiang, Yizhou, twenty and six, although he is a small official, but he is quite wealthy."

"See, we have to be young, energetic and energetic, not to mention, the key is not completely black."

Facts have proved that Han Hui has a good eye, and this Zou Yan, who has a long figure and a calm temperament, really has goods in his belly.

……

"The wealth of Shu is based on low grain prices, and everything is built on the basis of three and four cultures of doumi."

Qin Yue was surprised: "Why, isn't it the grain that hurts the peasants?" ”
