I thought about this for a long time on the weekend. He opens the system store and uses the permission to buy goods for free. There are only some corn seeds in the system mall, and there are no seeds for other coarse grains. I had to buy all the corn seeds for the weekend.

"I prepared some corn seeds. It can be used to reclaim wasteland. ”

"What is corn?" Qin Qian looked confused.

"The immortal who instructed me to practice the immortal method told me. Corn is also a grain and is not picky like rice. ”

"Is this true?" Qin Qian was a little excited. In this way, the policy of King Zhuang can be implemented smoothly. This is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

Weekend smiled and nodded. "The people who have no grain seeds can take back the corn seeds. Corn is planted first, and rice is planted after the land is fertilized. ”

The weekend added: "In addition, people who have joined the army in their families can give them a tax reduction after they get the land, and the amount of tax reduction is appropriate for you to decide." "Whoever clears the land will be given land, and some people who would have planned to join the army may turn to farming. If that were the case, he would be shooting himself in the foot.

"Will this lead to an empty treasury?" Cheng Jia asked worriedly. Taxes are exempted, soldiers are cheaper, but the country suffers.

"When the wool grows on the sheep and the people become rich, our taxes will only increase, not less." From a macro point of view, some people have been exempted from some taxes, as if the taxes are less.

However, in fact, when the people have money, the number of people who pay taxes to the state will increase correspondingly, and in simple terms, small profits and quick turnover, the average tax paid per unit will be less, but the number of units will increase.

Qin Qian was thinking about it, and after listening to the weekend's words, he suddenly burst into tears.

Cheng Jia was skeptical, but out of trust in King Zhuang, he did not object. When he got home, he summoned the account office and settled the account. The result is actually the same as what King Zhuang said, only more, not less.

The candle flame flickered, he closed the account book and sighed: "King Zhuang is really a god." ”

He immediately asked the account office to calculate the reasonable amount of tax reduction, how could the soldiers get benefits, and at the same time let the treasury of Chu State increase its money every day.

After calculating the tax exemption amount, Cheng Jia immediately posted a notice that he could reduce or reduce taxes by joining the army, and within a month, the Chu army expanded its recruitment by more than 10,000 people, and people from some remote places came one after another.

Seeing this recruitment number, the weekend is truly satisfied.

"King Zhuang, if this continues, it won't be long before our army can recruit more than 50,000 people." Cheng Jia danced happily, and his old eyes were brighter than the eyes of a young man.

Although the number of soldiers in the Chu State was still a little worse than that of the Jin State, it had already made great progress. The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and there is no rush on weekends.

Qin Qian's side was progressing surprisingly smoothly. On the weekend, I don't worry about letting him take out the account book, so that he won't report good news and bad news.

"The old minister over there in the wine shop ordered by King Zhuang, as soon as I released the news that the immortal wine would be sold in limited quantities, sure enough, the gentry in the Yingdu City bid for each other.

Liquor stores are crowded every day. Both the common people and dignitaries on the teahouse felt that our teahouse was very interesting, and it was full every day.

Those private rooms were even more rushed. "Just kidding, King Zhuang's successive exploits are obvious to all, as long as the wine is brewed by King Zhuang, those people almost have to fight in order to taste a sip of wine.

As the old saying goes, if there is an old man, if there is a treasure, it is true. Qin Qian has a lot of worries on weekends. Over the weekend, I became more and more sure of my original vision.

"King Zhuang, the wine shops and teahouses here in Guangyingdu are already making money every day. Let's open sake breweries and teahouses in other cities as soon as possible! In addition, it is necessary to start as soon as possible in other countries. "It's better sooner rather than later.

"Don't worry. The wine shop is okay, with my own hand-brewed wine as a signboard, but others on the teahouse will easily imitate it, and it is difficult to last long. So you have to improve the quality of service and make them feel welcome. In this way, even if someone imitates it, it will not be able to steal the business of the teahouse. "It's not so easy to do business, you have to think about everything.

Although Qin Qian is old-fashioned, he has little experience in business, so he specially reminded him on the weekend, lest Qin Qian climb high and fall heavily and fall on his heels.

In modern times, there are many more hotels and restaurants than in the Warring States period, and the competition is particularly fierce. There are those who improve their own strength and rely on their strength to retain customers, and some who like to take shortcuts. What is popular for a period of time will immediately be imitated by someone, and even dig into the back kitchen.

Qin Qian nodded again and again. "What King Zhuang said is very true!"

"In addition, all the money earned by the liquor stores and teahouses is used to buy food, except for some of the bonuses that are set aside for the branches." Although a policy was put in place to encourage the people to open up the land, it is always good to be prepared and stock up on more food.

"King Zhuang, is there something going to happen?" First encouraging the people to grow grain, and then hoarding grain, King Zhuang seemed to be trying to prepare something.

"Heaven must not be divulged." Weekend pointed to his lips and smiled mysteriously.

Qin Qian said yes again and again.

Six months later.

The wind is beautiful and the weather is clear. The horse's hooves were gained, and the tranquility of the suburbs was shattered. On weekends, he sat on horseback and went to the outskirts of Yingdu under the escort of thousands of soldiers.

The outskirts of Yingdu were originally a large area of wasteland, but now all of them are planted with rice. When the wind blows, the golden rice fields are undulating and rolling over the golden waves.

Looking at these ripe paddies, I felt a little more at ease over the weekend. The grain grown by the people themselves, coupled with the grain stored by the local government, should be able to cope with the famine in the coming year. However, it is better to build more granaries. However, the funds are now insufficient, and the construction of the granary will have to wait for about three months. In another three months, the money earned from the liquor shops and teahouses operated by the Nian Pole will be sent to the state treasury one after another, and when the time comes, there will be money to build a granary.

As soon as the people who were assigned to the fields heard that King Zhuang was coming, they immediately threw away their hoes and knelt on both sides of the road to thank King Zhuang for his great kindness. "Zhuang Wang Shengming!"

Riding on a horse on the weekend and watching these people prostrate and prostrate, it was very rewarding.

"Qin Qian, these fertile fields can be in the hands of the people." The thin fields are not cultivated, and the fertile fields are contested. In the past, this was a wasteland, and the dignitaries naturally looked down on it. But now it is different, after the hard work of the people, although it is not a fertile field, as long as it takes a while, these fields will become fertile fields. Don't be afraid of anything else on the weekend, I'm afraid that those dignitaries and dignitaries will take a fancy to this place and snatch the good land from the people.

Qin Qian had been running a wine shop and a teahouse for a while, and from time to time he would come back with some information. The information Qin Qian brought did not say anything about the encroachment of the people's fertile land, but he was still a little uneasy over the weekend.
