Gongsun Chan did not stay in Xiangping for long, stayed for another night and left in a hurry to return to the subject country the next day, for him, the biggest gain of this trip was to gain Zhang Hao's friendship.

Gongsun Yue also entered the military academy and became classmates with Zhao Yu, and the news spread far and wide, and was heard by many officials and spies, and it seemed that they had found a way to get closer to Zhang Hao.

Many people send their daughters and even girls from relatives to school, but only a small number of talented people enter the four colleges, and most of them go to ordinary schools despite reluctance.

However, they were still reluctant to let their children study with the boys, so Zhang Hao had no choice but to open girls' classes in some Mongolian schools and primary schools.

As a result of these officials, a small number of people began to accept the idea of letting girls go to school, and although the effect was not particularly obvious, it was a big step forward.

Today's Liaodong is like a sophisticated machine, which is running steadily in all aspects, making Liaodong develop steadily and rapidly.

Gradually, there was a gap with other surrounding counties, and it gradually got closer to the rich land of the Central Plains, getting rid of the image of a bitter cold place in people's hearts.

Especially after the autumn harvest, because most of the people have cultivated new crops to a greater or lesser extent, they have seen the yield of new crops and tasted the sweetness brought by new crops.

The expression of happiness was on the faces of every people, and even many people from surrounding counties came here to settle in Liaodong.

Due to Zhang Hao's reduction of taxes, the yield of new crops is very high, and the people have a lot of margins in their hands.

After these new crops were purchased, they were naturally not treated as ordinary rations, but were transported by Zhang Xi to the hero buildings in various places and became the specialties of the hero buildings.

Although these new crops are cultivated in every household in Liaodong, they are no longer a rare thing, but in other places, they are unseen and unheard of.

For a while, it caused a taste frenzy in various places, even if Zhang Xi set the price very high, it couldn't stop those wealthy families from rushing to the Hero Building to taste.

No matter how high the yield of these new crops is, the cultivation of a county in eastern Liaodong will not be able to supply the country's rush to buy, so Zhang Xi then changed his strategy.

Not only did the price of the dishes made from the new crops increase again, but the number of dishes sold per day was also limited, which was good, but the price of these dishes was increased again.

In the end, it turned out to be a competition for many big families, and being able to eat a plate of fried shredded potatoes was simply a symbol of status and financial resources, and in the end, many people were no longer bidding for these, but for the sake of face.

What the? You haven't drunk polenta from the Hero Building? I'm sorry, I don't want to play with you, you haven't squeezed into our circle yet, it's too cheap to play with you.

I really don't know what kind of expression they will have if they are found out by those people, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes that they have to pay a lot of money to buy every day will look like when they are just the daily rations of ordinary people in Liaodong.

Zhang Hao didn't want to know about these, he only knew that Zhang Xi had once again made a fortune for himself with the Hero Building.

The people cultivated new crops, not only the people became rich, but even the government's taxes increased a lot, although Zhang Hao lowered the tax rate, but the grain output was high, and the tax revenue was much more than before.

"My lord, it seems that in the spring of next year, the people will plant these new crops wherever they can cultivate." In the council hall of the county guard's mansion, Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"No, traditional crops cannot be abandoned, and the tax rate on traditional crops will be adjusted to the same as that of new crops next year." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.

"My lord, these new crops have been harvested so well, why can't they all be cultivated?" Cheng Yu asked puzzled.

"First of all, I found that different types of crops have a relationship of mutual promotion and mutual use, and the more types of crops planted on the same land, the better the yield."

"Then if only one crop is planted on a piece of land, over time, the yield will be lower and lower year by year, and it is best to rotate several crops on a piece of land every year."

"In addition, each crop has different characteristics, such as sweet potato, although it is not afraid of locust plague and drought, but because it grows underground, it is especially afraid of flooding."

"If we plant sweet potatoes in the whole county this year, once we encounter a flood, it may cause us to lose a year's harvest, but what if we plant sweet potatoes and rice at the same time?"

"If there is a drought, the rice yield may be reduced or there will be no harvest, but there will still be a harvest of sweet potatoes, and if there is a flood, the sweet potatoes will not be harvested, and people will not starve to death by relying on the harvest of rice."

Zhang Hao looked at the people below and slowly explained, now these people under Zhang Hao are throwing themselves to the ground with the five bodies that Zhang Hao admires, as if there is no field that he doesn't understand.

Even Tong Fei and Zhao Yun, who have been with him for more than ten years, have never seen him farming, but they didn't expect that Zhang Hao would be the first to talk about farming.

Although these people don't know how to farm, after listening to Zhang Hao's words, they all feel very reasonable, and they nodded after thinking about it.

"What the lord said is very true, but now that the people have tasted the sweetness, I am afraid it will be a little difficult not to let them plant all new crops." Cheng Yu frowned and said.

Now the yield of these new crops, the people are obvious to all, and the taste is also very good, not to let them plant now, is it equivalent to cutting off people's money.

"Lord, it is better to use the criminal law to restrain it, and what to plant on which land is determined by the government, and if there is any disobedience, heavy punishment will be imposed." Xun You thought for a while and said.

"Use the Penal Code...... Lord, there is. Guo Jia listened to Xun You's words, thought for a while and exclaimed.

"What's the best way to do it?" Zhang Hao, who was frowning and thinking, looked at Guo Jia and asked.

"Lord, we can set the proportion of taxes to be collected next year, for example, before sowing, tell the people to collect taxes after the autumn harvest, one-tenth for corn, one-tenth for sweet potatoes, one-tenth for rice, and so on."

"In this way, even if not every family grows all kinds of crops, there will be people who cultivate crops that other people don't like to grow, and after the autumn harvest, they will exchange with other people or trade with each other." Guo Jia said slowly.

"Okay, that's a great idea." After listening to Guo Jia's words, everyone praised one after another.

"Mr. Zhongde, I will leave it to you how this matter works." Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"With the law of filial piety, there will be no problem." Cheng Yu said with a smile.
