Chapter 542: Heavy Agriculture and Suppression of Business

If some civilians know about it, this matter can be regarded as a relatively damaging thing to the credibility of the state, so even if this kind of thing can happen, it is not particularly common.

Because if some businessmen really know about it, although they don't dare to say anything on the surface, they will definitely discuss this matter in private.

In fact, some of the policies of the polar state are relatively inconsistent with some of the standards of the original dynasties, such as the matter of heavy merchant, although the control over merchants is relatively sufficient, which is the social tone of most of the previous dynasties or heavy agriculture and suppression of business.

The main reason is the problem of grain production, grain is the foundation of a country, if a country can have enough food, then the country can be stable for a long time.

Of course, this is a combination of some of these probabilities, and it takes a lot of things.

Other things are needed, but as the foundation of the people and the country, these policies in the past should indeed be done.

Therefore, the Polar Kingdom is a different dynasty.

Of course, it is not that business is emphasized and agriculture is suppressed, if we are specific, both sides attach great importance to it, and the benefits of attaching importance to business have already been reflected.

The entire polar country is in a state of prosperity and strength, plus it has absorbed the blood of other places, so the life at the bottom is very good.

On the other hand, agriculture should be done well, but every peasant should not be prevented from having no harvest due to some natural and man-made disasters, resulting in no food for them.

As long as you work hard in a polar country, you will basically not starve to death, but this situation is not necessarily in other countries, that is, if you are in other countries.

Even if you work hard, sometimes you will starve to death, the main reason is that there is no multifaceted development, in other words, a single development leads to a weak ability to resist attacks, and the ability to resist risks is also quite weak.

As a result, the entire airport is in a volatile environment.

In fact, the extreme country is reluctant to do such a thing as disaster relief, not because this kind of thing is a waste of money, but the main reason is that disaster relief, whether it is money or food, will develop some people's laziness.

This has happened in previous dynasties.

In the past, there was a place where there were some disasters that caused all the crops in the field to die, and then the state distributed relief food and disaster relief money.

However, some farmers have found out, that is, they can have food even if they don't farm, and it seems that many farmers choose not to farm.

And gave some reasons, and the local officials felt that there might indeed be some such situations in the first year, so they reported it to the court.

And asked the court to send down the disaster relief money, which was like this in the first year, and still like this in the second year, and it was not until the third year that I realized that something was wrong.

Because of why there are some disasters every year, it seems that some people were sent to take a look, and they found that there were no crops in the field.

Then don't talk about the final harvest.

Because there are some people who find that they are not as good as those who don't grow crops after they have paid their taxes, and so they become like that.

The end result is that not all classes of people are good people, and not all people who can withstand some suffering are good people.

The relationship between good and bad and class is not too much to do with it, so I have learned this lesson, and would rather let them get some money for themselves than let them eat for nothing.

Eating white food is addictive, in fact, for some people at the bottom.

I would rather eat less, as long as I am not suffering or being tired.

Growing crops is a very hard thing in the first place, very bitter and very bitter, and people who have never planted crops cannot experience this kind of suffering, and this kind of suffering is very different from training.

There is a huge difference between the training of soldiers and the cultivation of crops by farmers, and it seems that the energy consumed is about the same, but it is completely different to say that a great pressure is generated.

That's why this kind of psychology exists.

Therefore, when the Polar Countries are providing disaster relief, unless it is a large-scale disaster, they will not directly distribute disaster relief funds, and I will not directly distribute disaster relief food.

The other way is to get these people to work and pay them.

In fact, this method seems to give the same money, but in the end, the things that can be obtained are also different, and the country can get a lot of things.

For example, repairing river embankments and roads, in a way, the state has also recovered a certain cost, after all, building roads and embankments, and even building houses, if you don't use them, you need to pay a certain cost for other people.

So in this case, the results are relatively good.

But there is a good aspect, and this better aspect is that the salary is not paid according to the full salary.

For example, if a man has a family when he is doing this kind of work, 30% of the salary is given to him, because at this time it is food and accommodation, and he does not have much to spend.

The rest of the money is sent to the family, which is the responsibility of the state, so that the family can also have something to withstand the pressure, in fact, most people will choose this way even if they don't do it.

However, there are some people who are reluctant to do this, which is also a mandatory method, and the effect is quite good.

What are some of the big disasters, like floods, which are very big disasters because they lead to the loss of homes.

In this case, they will even send troops to help them build their homes, so this is a large-scale disaster, and it doesn't matter if the disaster relief money is distributed in time.

In other dynasties, the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of merchants was basically a way to restrict merchants from becoming officials, that is, to treat merchants as a person with the lowest status, although they could earn a lot of money, although they enjoyed it very well.

However, they almost did not have the power to be officials, and most of the merchants did not have the way to become officials, which was a major means of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing merchants in other dynasties.

As a large number of people, they are actually better faced, if there is an official in the family, then they feel that they have more face, even if they are rich or not, it doesn't matter.

The face feels very good, so the official looks very high-class.

But the climb of this class was suppressed, and the peasants were first reduced to a group of people who were higher than them, and the main reason was to maintain the stability of the country.

Of course, if the business develops to a certain extent, then there may be a reversal in this matter, and it will also improve the lives of the people at the bottom.

In fact, farmers have a very large amount of time to waste when they are working, and they are basically idle at home in the spring or winter, so they will waste some opportunities to make money.

If someone wants to make money, there is no way to make money, so as far as this kind of thing is concerned, the polar country is doing very well, and the main reason is that the business is developed.

Whether it's short-term, long-term, or intervalal, as long as you want to find it, you can basically find it, and there are some places that the state promises.

That is to say, the country also lacks people.

The time that seems to be wasteful can already be put to good use, and when it is used, it can generate a lot of income, sometimes even more than farm work.

So this also leads to another thing, another disadvantage, which is reflected in the fact that some farmers choose not to do farm work when they do something wholeheartedly.

This disadvantage is actually devastating for the whole country, and there is no big problem in normal words, which usually means that when there is no war, you can also import food from other countries, if you can feed your own people.

But obviously, this kind of thing can't be done for a long time, but if other countries find out about it, they will threaten or threaten it.

If there were another war, the consequences would be even more disastrous, and if the country that supplied its own food suddenly stopped supplying it, it would be a fatal blow, or an unacceptable increase in prices.

Therefore, in this case, a country's grain must at least reach the one-year ration of its own inhabitants, plus some reserves, and the reserves are basically one year's rations.

In other words, as long as it can stabilize the food ration for one year, it can be used for a long time, and in the long term, it can provide basic food.

But if the business income is too much, this balance will be broken, then no one wants to do a hard and tiring job, and will choose a relatively easy and earning more money.

Therefore, there will be another policy in the polar countries, and this policy is some suppression of commerce, which both businessmen and the state are willing to see.

That is to reduce this money, that is to say, to reduce this salary, and to stipulate how much is not allowed to be exceeded, this is calculated by the core, after many dynasties and many times.

Well, so the result came out, and the rules were not allowed to exceed how much, which is basically about fifty a day.

If it is cultivated land, in fact, when the daily cultivated land is sold as a whole, the money earned is much more than this.

Because there is more grain planted, according to the calculation of acres in this dynasty, a family can plant about 30 acres of land, and the price of grain is actually quite high in Jiguo.

The yield of one acre of land is about 200 catties, there are two seasons a year, and the other sentence can also grow some other crops, and you can also do some labor when you are not busy.

So the overall income is okay, in fact, if you calculate carefully, it may be a little less for everyone, especially a family, but for young people, or for some younger children, they should not be considered a labor force.

They are not allowed to go out to work, and if their families let them farm, this is okay, so they are not considered laborers, so they should not be counted in it on average.

In the end, some farmers calculated that if they wanted to make more money, they basically combined farming and labor, so that they could keep their families in balance.

So in the end, most farmers will choose this way, and if there are children who want to become soldiers, this is also a better choice.

In the end, on the whole, the result was to finally stabilize this policy of valuing agriculture and business, and of course it took a lot of time.

In the end, the production of food is basically enough for all people to have a year's ration, and with the replacement of the old and the new, it is still possible to save new rations.

Of course, if something particularly urgent happens, something else can be substituted twice, such as sweet potatoes, such as potatoes.

These things can also be used as a substitute for rations, and there are many, many other things that can be replaced, of course, after an emergency, if there is no emergency, it will definitely not choose to use this way.

A lot of things can be powdered and made into some essential food, so basically in this way, some major disasters will not happen.

Even if there is a war, even if there is an unforeseen war, there is no big problem in holding out for a year or two.

And if the development of agriculture is not very good at that time, there will definitely be some huge changes in policy, and this kind of policy change is what these polar countries are best at, and they can actually do some very good things.

Shi Bozhang listened to Mo Yu's opinion, and he also listened to this opinion quite seriously, Mo Yu's statement actually made Shi Bozhang feel not particularly comfortable.

In fact, even if this matter was told to Mo Yu at the beginning, Mo Yu would not feel particularly good in his heart, the concept they were instilled in the academy was to strictly enforce the law, and the prince would be guilty of the same crime as the common people.

But now there is such a situation, and this kind of thing that has some great contradictions with the original thinking is indeed not easy for them to accept.

Therefore, it is normal for Shi Bozhang to feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, which is relatively easy for them to accept, after all, he was born in some official families, and after studying some history books, he will also find that there is such a situation.

So these things are not particularly difficult things for them, oh not a relatively difficult thing to understand.

There have been such situations in all dynasties, and there are very few cases in the polar country, for example, the situation of tanwushouhui, it must not be said that there is none, in fact, the overall number is quite a lot.

But in terms of this ratio, it is much less to come to other dynasties together.

From top to bottom, it is a three-legged situation, to be precise, a four-legged situation, from the most basic city level.

The first is this city lord, followed by this elder, and two deputy elders.

Further up, that is this district chief, plus these district elders, and two deputies.

If you talk about it above, it is the Extreme Emperor, and the Extreme Elder.

Oh, it's basically a four-legged situation, but the specific rights of the three elders actually lie with the three elders, and this system continues to the army.

The army is not a general who can have the final say, and there are adjutant generals among them, and it seems that they are not too different from other adjutant generals.

But in terms of the right to speak, they still have a certain amount of power, similar to this city-level deputy elder.

So from top to bottom, from politics to the military, it has always been such a three-legged situation, so the situation of tanwushoihui will be relatively rare.

But in any case, this kind of thing will happen in any dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to decide on this point.

The group quickly finished walking and returned to the boat, where the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

When a person saw Mo Yu and them coming back, he immediately said to Mo Yu: "Hello, the young master said that if you come back, you will go to a room, and you will have prepared food for you." ”

It's a late-night snack.

It's not good outside, and the wind is a bit strong compared to before.

Soon came to that room, if you didn't see Lin Ruifeng, it should be that you haven't come back yet.

Dishes and chopsticks and drinks have been set up on the table, and it seems that today is going to be drunk.

Mo Yu asked this person, "Isn't your merchant ship leaving tonight?" ”

This person smiled and said to Mo Yu: "I won't leave tonight, today's wind is relatively strong, load the goods first, and see the situation tomorrow morning." ”

"However, according to the intelligence, the wind will be very strong tomorrow, and it is estimated that it may not set off tomorrow."

In fact, this information has been said at the beginning, but these caravans have formed a weather forecasting organization by themselves, although the accuracy of this information is not too high, but according to the intelligence organization formed by these merchants, coupled with this experience, there should be a certain degree of accuracy.

I guess it may be really windy tomorrow, and if that's the case, it's very likely that you won't speak.

After all, fire and water are merciless.

Mo Yu had been thinking about it just now, no wonder he didn't set off now, it turned out to be because of this reason.

Because these merchants basically need to make the most of every time, they basically come to this dock at night when they come over, and then they just leave.

That's when they came ten days ago.

In the end, Mo Yu asked a question: "When will your young master come over?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I'm not particularly sure, but the young master said that he should not be back soon, otherwise you should wait a little." ”

If some civilians know about it, this matter can be regarded as a relatively damaging thing to the credibility of the state, so even if this kind of thing can happen, it is not particularly common.

Because if some businessmen really know about it, although they don't dare to say anything on the surface, they will definitely discuss this matter in private.
