What rice sac flower, it has too many side effects compared with the large-scale textile industry, since it has completed the historical mission, it should slowly retire and disappear completely.

The newly opened land was intended for growing cotton, and there was a problem: cotton was still a new species to most people at this time, and even in the Western Regions, it was not planted on a large scale, and the Uighurs also gave it to Wang Hao as a precious gift.

For things that no one knows and no one knows in their hearts, will everyone be willing to take risks and farm? Farming is not like industry, this furnace steel is not smelted, at most it will be delayed for a few days or ten days, and the next furnace will change the formula, and nothing will be delayed.

Crops have to work hard regardless of whether the harvest is good or bad, if you don't get the corresponding return in the autumn, this year is basically explained, what does the whole family eat?

Hong Tao is not worried about this problem, how the rice sac flower was popularized at the beginning, and now the cotton is also taking medicine according to the prescription. Let's continue to engage in contract purchases, the government provides seeds for free, and whoever grows cotton also supplies soil and fertilizer at a low price.

The autumn harvest is fully purchased by the government, and it doesn't matter if the first year is smashed, the government still provides free seeds in the second year, and also gives out agricultural subsidies to ensure that your family will not go hungry.

As long as the purchase price is announced, I believe many people will be red-eyed. This is much more profitable than growing grain, and one acre is several acres. In fact, farming and trading are also similar, the greater the risk, the higher the return, but the cycle of farming is longer than that of trading, and it is not easy to control the risk.

So the government must intervene in this matter, let's share part of the risk, you can plant it steadily, this is not a high-tech thing, it is not good to plant, it is not bad. As long as the interests exist, the farmers have the same spirit of exploration and study, and it will not be long before the white cotton peaches will be spread all over the earth.

Don't worry about cotton seeds, I have already sent people to Guazhou on Monday and Sunday, and I have brought several carts of horse wine. Nominally, the two sides of the cooperation walked around and went to pay New Year's greetings according to the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, they were deceiving people's seeds. Highly wine for seeds, I believe that alcoholic nomads will not refuse.

By the way, let's see if there are any things that are not available in the mainland, and bring them back. In a few years, cotton cloth will be the main product, and a large number of cotton seeds will be sold back to the source of cotton seeds. Is the wine of Hong Papi so delicious? You have to spit out as much as you drink, and you have to calculate the interest, you don't want money, you want your land!

Generally speaking, the six years of Yuanfeng were a bumper year, the currency reform was smoothly implemented, the road to heaven was repaired, Suzhou was also in hand, the trade routes of the Hexi Corridor were connected, the scale of the new army was expanded, commercial exchanges were deepened, the intelligence system was established, the external threat was reduced, breakthroughs were made in industry and chemical industry, and the living standards of the people were also improved.

The flaw is that his help in the court has decreased, and he has offended more people. Even Emperor Shenzong's health is not very good, and three time bombs have been added to his side. Moreover, the Hexi Corridor is not completely controlled by itself, and there may be variables in the future.

At the beginning of the month, Fu Ji set off again with the camel caravan, she wanted to go to Kaifeng to give gifts in person, and it was also considered to help her men move around in the court, and the relationship that could be eased should be eased as much as possible, and the friends who could be maintained should be maintained vigorously, and the enemies who were completely unpleasant should not tear their faces immediately, maintaining such a weak balance.

Hong Tao is weak in this matter, he can bow his head but not to the bottom, so he needs Fu Ji to give up this face. She is from an internal official, and her head is lower than this more than once, and she has no psychological burden at all.

In addition, Fu Ji also has this very important task, which is to find a way to meet Emperor Shenzong through the relationship of the eldest princess, even if she looks at it without squeaking, she must know how far the emperor's body has reached.

With this basic parameter, Hong Tao can adjust his plan accordingly. If Emperor Shenzong's health is indeed in danger, then some things have to be prepared in advance.

If Emperor Shenzong can resist for a few years, he will have to wonder whether to test the reality of Western Xia and see if there is a chance to make another raid to solve Xingqing Mansion. Before the Liao State had time to react, the Western Xia regime existed in name only.

At that time, how to divide the territory of Western Xia is not to see who is fast, and the new army must not let the new army give up the piece of Xingqing Mansion to the south of the Yangtze River. The desert in the north is occupied casually, which is too cumbersome for Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu.

In fact, these are all later words, what Hong Tao wants to complete most now is the construction of the economic system and tax system of Huangzhou and Ganliang Road, and the rigid tax rate of 10 out of 1 affects economic development too much, and the low-profit industries will outweigh the losses and cannot develop, and the government cannot collect more taxes from the high-profit industries to subsidize.

At present, this defect is not clearly visible, but when the business booms in the future, all kinds of shortcomings will gradually be revealed, and then tinkering with it will be far less efficient than trying to improve it at the beginning of the rule-making.

As soon as Fu Ji left, Sidi could stay in the pony's room again, nominally to take care of Chen Niang's daily life, but in essence, to take care of Chen Niang with the pony, the latter seems to be more.

"When will the other rabbis of you arrive?" No, the two of them had just finished discussing a new topic, and before the sweat on their bodies had dried, Hong Tao talked about business with a withered grass stick in his mouth.

Produced on the edge of the desert, this kind of dry grass stick has a finger-thick stem and a soft structure full of holes. After drying, it shrinks to the thickness of chopsticks, which is very easy to burn, and it is a good thing for herdsmen to start a fire, and the local people are commonly known as flame grass.

But in Hong Tao's hands, the flame grass became a substitute for cigarettes. He hasn't quit smoking in his life, and he likes to hold something when he has nothing to do. All the brushes he used were covered with tooth marks, similar to those gnawed by dogs.

Since I had these flame grasses, the pen was relieved, but the taste in the house was much worse. This thing has a sour smell when it is lit, and it doesn't smell good.

The soldiers and civilians of the whole Liangzhou can now know that Lord Shuai Si is coming a few hundred meters downwind, and the smell will follow wherever he goes, and there is no one who is willing to smoke this kind of thing.

In fact, Hong Tao is not willing to smoke, not to mention the sour taste of smoke and choking, but every time he takes the flame grass pole in his mouth, his mind can calm down and his mind is much clearer. It's not smoking, it's autosuggestion.

"They had to go a long way from the west, and then through the Uighur territory. Wise official, can I tell you the most faithful Sidi, is my hometown really as far away as drawn on the map, and what is its scenery like? ”

The longer you are in contact with Hong Tao, the easier it is to be influenced, he is like a cloth pocket on the chest of a robot cat, anyone who reaches into it can find something they are interested in. Sidi found that, in addition to more and more hand-to-hand combat positions, there was also the hometown of her dreams.

"You peeked at the official's map, and Chen Niang did it again!"

Hong Tao's life is different from his previous lives, there are almost no secrets, or he hides secrets in his heart, and never writes secret notes. There is only one map that will not be shown to others, but this is not a big secret, and Emperor Shenzong also has a copy in his hands.

"She cheated me out of a lot of good things that the officials gave me...... She really deserves to be the daughter of an official! "When it comes to Chenniang, Sidi doesn't even call the queen anymore, and is full of complaints and grievances.

"Hey, hey, you should be glad you have a shrewd queen, and it's better to be led by her than by those three stupid princes, right? It doesn't matter, the official can give it again when the things are gone, let's say, do you want satin clothes or gems this time? Hong Tao doesn't care what others say about himself and those children, the more capable people are, the easier they are to be hated, which is very reasonable.

"I just want to hear from the officials about my hometown...... Is it really full of honey? Sidi is not a woman who is very greedy for material things, what she did before was just to determine the position in Hong Tao's mind, but she didn't have an accurate answer after probing for a long time.

Sometimes the lord was so generous that he felt that it was possible to take the place of the princess and become his wife at once; But sometimes he is very ruthless, and he doesn't talk about any emotion when he disciplines himself. So she simply didn't bother to test, to put it bluntly, she didn't have the fighting spirit to lose.
