Chapter 172: Basic Needs
This is the catastrophe of this era, and there is no way to break it.
And this kind of problem will always exist.
Why does this dynastic change occur every few decades or hundreds of years?
Putting aside other factors, in fact, in the final analysis, the grain production at this time is fixed, as long as the grain does not feed them, then this dynastic change will definitely occur.
Especially when there is a large number of large-scale famines in various places, then the matter will become complete turmoil.
At that time, it is the time of the change of dynasties, and the reason why there are more and more people in later generations is actually a certain potential for development, because the development of this era brings a variety of foods to be preferentially completed by human beings, and the yield is getting higher and higher.
The so-called varieties that produce a lot of grain in later generations may have yielded less than half of the yield of later generations before they were screened for thousands of years.
Even the taste is not as good as that of later generations.
He wanted to know what Emperor Win Wu was going to do at this time.
"How to crack?"
In essence, no matter what kind of emperor he is, he actually cares about his country, why, because according to ancient sayings, it is all his private property.
All over the world!
It's not like no one has said what Li Hang said, but what those people do actually want to be violent.
The family is a pig, and when the time comes, it will kill the pig.
As long as you can kill the pigs, this matter can be greatly alleviated.
For example, this was the case during the Three Kingdoms period, can you imagine that when Yuan Shao was just fighting, there was a shortage of soldiers and food, and after killing Gongsun Zhan, he got all kinds of food from him, and he could even feed hundreds of thousands of troops.
What is this concept?
In ancient times, the daily consumption of such an army was quite terrifying, not to mention the Central Plains battlefield after that, the total number of troops was at least hundreds of thousands.
Such a soldier can feed, how much food is needed for this.
A large part of this is supplied by the Maison. You can imagine how powerful this super family is.
And the strength of this powerful family is also amazing.
It is a small matter to be able to pull out an army, you must know that it is difficult for the conscripted army in these years to guarantee that it will not retreat at will in the event of war, and this kind of army also has a very troublesome problem, that is, the army of the sign is not equipped, and these rich families can arm a good army.
If they are against them, the world is against them.
Li Hang laughed, at this time he was ready to be reprimanded by this emperor. However, he didn't expect that Emperor Win Wu waved his hand slightly at this time. "So what can be done so that the problem of food shortage no longer bothers us?"
Ask this?
Li Hang narrowed his eyes, this is really a big problem!
But this dilemma is not a problem.
If it is shown to others, this kind of problem is actually very difficult, because their eyes are focused on the country, and they have not gone to other places, but they can get rid of this kind of sight problem, plus at this time, Emperor Ying Wu really wants to solve this problem. So Li Hang wasn't worried that he would turn his face or anything. "There are several ways to solve this problem, one is to increase one's own food production, and one way I came up with this is to use books to sort out the farming experience of old farmers in various places, and collect them for aggregation and experimentation. After a year, you can decide which experiences are useful and which are not, and then you can summarize them and make them into an agricultural encyclopedia, and the others who respond can do the same, and then distribute these books in large quantities so that more readers can go down and explain it to them! That's not ten years old! Our grain output will increase by 30%! ”
This is the number of ways to strengthen oneself, and there is another routine that is more hooligan.
"In fact, this routine is used to strengthen yourself, this method is the safest and most effective, basically all classes benefit, after doing this, you are very likely to be enshrined as a Ming Jun!"
Li Hang said as he pointed to the border pass. "The other way is simple, war! Plunder, not only plundering the population, but also a variety of resources, money, grain, iron and copper, etc., etc., these are very important, and this kind of plundering can also enhance the confidence of the people in you, but in this way, you are very passive, because although this thing is very good, but it is easy to fall into the name of a reckless army, but if you don't do this, then there are still a few ways left, one is reform, reform is actually to put it bluntly is to move the interests of the original interest group, so it is easy to be opposed, Second, if the interests of too many people are really moved, I am afraid that the crowd will attack it, and at this time, it will be the same as the previous dynasty. ”
It is said that many of the changes of dynasties are due to this reason, and there are also catastrophes.
In fact, many people know about this kind of thing, but they dare not face it. Because there's no one solution to the problem!
Li Hang didn't say any other solutions, this kind of thing is actually picking soft persimmons!
As long as there are families who make mistakes, then they can be easily dealt with.
And at this time, Li Hang still had a lot to say.
"At this time, there are actually many ways, such as increasing wealth through trade, using our specialties to plunder the wealth of other countries, so as to enhance the sense of security of our people."
As soon as he heard this, he began to laugh. "You show talent, others are ashamed of businessmen, you are good, you are actually proud!"
There's nothing wrong with being a merchant!
Li Hang smiled, but pinched the cup on the side with one hand.
"In fact, there is another very troublesome thing, in the country, a large amount of capital is concentrated in the most profitable, or the most stable industry, which will lead to the value of this industry being overvalued."
This overestimation is not only because the hot money has gone in at this time, but because many people will concentrate on investing, causing everyone to think that it is very hot, which is a virtue with real estate in later generations.
"At this time, they have no place to invest, they will put all their capital into the most stable and profitable land, land sales and land mergers, they will directly fix their capital, when the people have to pay rent, but also need to pay taxes, if a good landlord has nothing, but once they meet those who want money, they will be squeezed, and then a large number of people will not survive, and then there will be only one way to rebel."
At this time, Ying Yun had a flash of inspiration. "No wonder you say that eating and dressing up is the most basic, it turns out that this is it!"
