Chapter 720: Weeping Minister
After listening to Li Su's analysis, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face. Yes, in all dynasties, food was the top priority.
However, when farmers have a good harvest, they may not be able to obtain high incomes.
Because once there is a bumper grain harvest, the price of grain may fall sharply.
As a result, the peasants obviously overcollected three or five buckets, but their income was not as good as in previous years.
In addition, if the income from part-time work is far greater than that of farming, then it will inevitably lead to a situation where the grain is cheap and the people are hurt.
Shangguan Yi has experienced this kind of thing, so he naturally knows the stakes here.
As long as the breeding industry is carried out, a large amount of grain can be consumed, and countless chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep can be raised.
At that time, the people of the entire Huaxia Kingdom will be able to eat a lot of meat, which will strengthen their physique and improve their lives.
It's a good thing for them to kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, to run a farm, it is necessary to engage in intensive breeding.
In fact, there is a lot of risk in intensive farming.
Intensive farming, the most feared, is the plague.
In the event of an outbreak of the plague, the entire farm may be killed on a large scale.
And to avoid this situation, it is necessary to keep up with the management.
Later generations dealt with this situation by taking medicine.
A large number of drugs are used to control and prevent the occurrence of plague.
If Li Su wanted to, using the knowledge of the system, he could naturally quickly manufacture these drugs.
But Li Yu didn't plan to do that.
Because the abuse of drugs will have a great impact on the ecology.
Li Su decided that if it is farmed, it can be stocked.
Alternatively, the density of the culture should be increased to ensure air circulation.
As for the talents in breeding, Datang still has them.
At the beginning, the proposal and construction of the farm were also created by Li Su, who was still the king of Shu at that time.
Now Datang's farms have formed a certain scale.
Of course, there are also experts in breeding in the current Huaxia country.
However, during this period, the entire Huaxia Kingdom had fifteen administrative provinces.
In fact, there are not many rich people.
The vast majority of them are indigenous people and Eastern Slavs.
They are now, that is, they have just solved the problem of food and clothing.
Where do they have so much money to build farms?
Of course, there are a small number of Tang people.
They have some money in their hands.
But building a farm is a lot of money, but it's also very risky.
And these Tang people, there are too many things that can be done now.
With this money, no matter what you do, even if you just sell some goods, you can make a lot of money.
They won't take that risk to farm.
The others are the Zheng family who were dispersed by Li Su to various administrative provinces.
However, the Zheng family was originally rich.
But now, their family's money, the vast majority, has been confiscated.
Now, they have only a little left.
At this time, they absolutely did not dare to continue to invest in aquaculture.
Therefore, although the various administrative provinces received guidance and advice from the imperial court, they were allowed to vigorously engage in aquaculture.
However, it is difficult for them to find large households interested in the breeding industry in each administrative province.
Unless, it is their various administrative provinces that fund the breeding industry on their own.
However, at present, the finances of their various administrative provinces are not rich.
Now, the imperial court can be said to treat them very favorably.
Because the imperial court also knew that they needed to build roads, Hugh had to do a lot of construction, and the finances of each administrative province were also stretched.
Therefore, for five years, they were not required to pay taxes to the imperial court.
Five years later, the decision is being made based on the actual situation.
And the cost of building the road, there is a lot, or the household appropriation, and the rest of the part, they solve it themselves.
But even so, they really don't have much food left on hand.
There are simply not a few farms.
But the officials of the various administrative ministries know it very well.
Today's emperor is extremely sage, and he is even more far-sighted, and his eyes are like torches.
Since he asked us to engage in aquaculture, there must be a profound truth in it.
As long as they follow the emperor's instructions, they will definitely be able to speed up the pace of their development.
Therefore, despite the difficulties, all administrative ministries are trying their best to make efforts in this regard.
At this time, Shen Wen, the supreme governor of the Southwest Administrative Province, was anxious at this time.
They are located in the southwest administrative province, although it is called the southwest administrative province, but it is not near the sea.
And their southwestern administrative province is relatively the most resource-scarce region.
Their development is also more difficult than in other regions.
The land of their administrative provinces is also relatively small compared to other administrative provinces.
Taxes, naturally, will also be reduced.
This time, all administrative provinces are engaged in the aquaculture industry on a large scale.
Their southwestern administrative province has really reached the point where the mountains and rivers are beautiful.
Shen Wen tried his best, but there was really no way to think about it.
So, Shen Wen had no choice but to use a killer move.
When he was in Yizhou, Shen Wen studied at Yizhou University for a while.
At that time, his grades were good, and he was specially selected, and some other outstanding students studied with Li Su for a period of time.
Later, most of those outstanding students who were in the same group as Shen Wen were engaged in scientific research.
Shen Wen, on the other hand, did not engage in scientific research, but turned to politics.
When he first came to the Golden State, Shen Wen was also one of the first people to follow and participate in the construction of Huaxia City.
Shen Wen's ability is very strong, and among the first batch of officials, he stands out.
This time, Li Su ascended the throne and appointed him as a local magistrate.
This Shen Wen can be said to be a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, this Shen Wen's killer feature is actually to go to Huaxia City to find the emperor to cry poor and win financial support from the central government.
Shen Wen arranged everything in his hands, and he went to Huaxia City by car alone.
At present, the road from the Southwest Administrative Province to Huaxia City has not yet been fully completed.
However, some sections of the road are already in use.
The middle connecting part is replaced by a path to.
Therefore, from the southwest administrative province to Huaxia City, the road is quite smooth.
After three days of traveling, Shen Wen came all the way from the Southwest Administrative Province to Huaxia City.
After entering Huaxia City, Shen Wen didn't care about resting, and he didn't even change his clothes and take a bath, and went directly to Beijing to face the saint.
At this time, the Huaxia Kingdom, because it had just been established, was not as strict as the Tang Empire.
Otherwise, as a provincial official, when he has not received a summons, he cannot casually leave the place under his jurisdiction and go directly to the capital to face the saint.
And now, hearing Shen Wen's request for a meeting from the Southwest Administrative Province, Li Su also felt some differences.
Li Su still remembers this person, when he was in Yizhou, Shen Wen studied with him for a while.
In Li Su's impression, Shen Wen is still very smart.
If he has the heart to do scientific research, he can also achieve good results.
However, his interest was more in politics, and he finally chose to enter politics.
And after coming to the Golden State, Shen Wen's ability was also seen by Li Su.
It can be said that there is ability and courage.
This time, when appointing officials from various administrative provinces, Li Su sent Shen Wen to the southwest administrative province.
This time, Li Su is a little different.
This Shen Wen didn't want to stay in the Southwest Administrative Province, why did he come all the way to Huaxia City?
While Li Su was busy with the matter at hand, he ordered someone to summon Shen Wen in.
Soon, Shen Wen entered the imperial study.
"Minister Shen Wen, see the emperor."
Looking at Shen Wen, Li Su suddenly had an extremely cordial feeling.
couldn't help but smile and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk, come here, serve tea to Shen Aiqing." Yo, Shen Aiqing, what's going on? Why do you look so depressed? β
Hearing the emperor's question, Shen Wen couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help crying.
The handful of snot and a handful of tears have reached the point where the listener is sad and the listener is crying.
Li Su was very puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Shen Aiqing, what kind of problem is this?" Just say it, and I'll be the master for you. β
After a long time, Shen Wencai accepted his grief and whimpered: "Your Majesty, Weichen is trusted by the emperor and entrusted with the important task of managing the Southwest Administrative Province. β
"Since Weichen took office, he has not dared to be slack, and he has been conscientious, only looking forward to helping the emperor and governing the southwest administrative province well."
"Let the people there live a happy and healthy life, that is the greatest reward of Weichen to the emperor."
"However, Wechen is frightened, Wechen is ashamed! Weichen was ashamed of the emperor and did not govern the southwest administrative province well, and Weichen faced the emperor shamelessly, and asked the emperor to punish him heavily. β
Hearing Shen Wen's words, Li was stunned at first, not understanding what he wanted to do.
But soon, Li Su pondered it.
Oh, this guy is going to run to me and cry poorly, right?
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Shen Wen, have you encountered any difficulties?" Just say it, and I'll help you figure it out. β
Hearing the emperor's words, Shen Wen's face couldn't help but show a look of amazement.
Is his acting skills so bad?
It was seen by the emperor so quickly?
Shen Wen didn't dare to continue acting, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is really as wise as a torch!" Weichen really encountered difficulties, and there was really no way, so he had to come to the emperor! The emperor must be the master of the micro-ministers. β
And so it was!
Li Su couldn't help asking, "Shen Aiqing, I don't know what difficulties you encountered?" β
Shen Wen couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, it's like this. Now the imperial court has called on us to build a farm. But the emperor also knows the geographical conditions of our southwestern administrative province. β
"Of the fifteen administrative provinces, the southwestern administrative province has the least land and the least population. Natural conditions are the worst and, therefore, taxes are the least. β
"This time to build a farm, we really don't have the ability, we really can't do it. I also ask the emperor to allocate funds to our Southwest Administrative Province. β
"Your Majesty, Weichen is not asking for himself, but for all the people in the entire Southwest Administrative Province."
Hearing this, Li Su finally understood why this Shen Wen came.
It turned out that it was for the sake of the farm.
Huaxia is divided into fifteen administrative provinces, and the natural conditions are naturally not exactly the same.
Comparatively speaking, the natural conditions of the Southwest Administrative Province are indeed a little worse.
However, this does not justify Li Su's allocation of funds to the Southwest Administrative Province.
In the case of a natural disaster, appropriation is a must.
However, this is just a matter of construction, and we cannot start this way.
Once the Southwest Administrative Province is allocated, what if the governors of other provinces also come to cry?
Does every province allocate funds?
With the current family background of the imperial court, he can't afford to toss it at all.
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but say: "Shen Aiqing, I'm afraid you will mistake the meaning of the imperial court." This time, the imperial court only put forward a guiding opinion, not to force you to build a farm. β
"Each administrative ministry can resolve this matter on its own according to its own conditions. If the finances are really not enough to support it, it can be postponed or even not done. β
Unexpectedly, after hearing the emperor's words, Shen Wen's head shook into a rattle.
"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done! Our southwestern administrative province is not as good as other administrative provinces. The so-called slow step, slow step. β
"If all other administrative provinces do it, but only we don't do it, then we will be pulled further and further away by them! Your Majesty, if you don't give the appropriation, then Weichen won't leave! β
This is a lazy virtue!
The angry Li pointed his finger at him.
However, looking at the lazy appearance of this product, this time it is really relied on.
Li Su could only say helplessly: "You, you, where do you have the appearance of a little bit of a big man?" This appearance makes people look at it, isn't it laughed at in vain? β
Shen Wen was not ashamed, but proud, and couldn't help but say: "For the sake of the people, where does Weichen care if others laugh or not?" β
Li Su couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "The imperial court has allocated funds, I can't give it to you, this precedent can't be opened." β
Shen Wen's face changed, and he was about to speak, but he was stopped by Li Su's hand.
"Still, I'll show you the way."
"Your Southwest Administrative Province has no money for the time being, and Datang, there are many rich people. Many people suffer from having nowhere to invest. β
"And your southwest administrative province has a lot of business opportunities! As long as you can attract investment from wealthy businessmen in the Tang Dynasty, are you still afraid that the southwest administrative province will not be able to develop? β
After listening to the emperor's words, Shen Wen's eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's right!
Why didn't you think about it?
The development of our southwest administrative province is weak, but it is completely possible to attract investment.
As long as we can attract the investment of those wealthy businessmen, when the time comes, are we still afraid that the southwest administrative province will not be able to build it?
Thinking of this, Shen Wen couldn't help but feel itchy and scratchy.
However, he knew very well in his heart that it was useless to just know this, and he had to continue to ask the emperor for the true scriptures.
Sure enough, Shen Wen learned a lot of details and precautions when he was here with the emperor.
Even Shen Wen was afraid that he would forget, so he hurriedly recorded them all in a small notebook, and the baby was very good.
