Chapter 149: Trip to the Farm II
With the current level of production in the Dayong Dynasty, it is difficult for the existing land to feed the existing population. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Kangqian 50 years, Kangqian Emperor had reformed the agricultural tax, based on the 50 years of Kangqian, announced that "breed people, never add endowment", after "do not increase or decrease, always for the quota". The implementation of this policy has reduced the taxes paid by the vast number of poor peasants and promoted the increase of the labor force.
Now the Dayong Dynasty is an agricultural country with a population of more than 100 million!
During the reign of Emperor Kangqian, there was also an edict that "the way to govern, the people are the most important, and whatever is beneficial to the people's livelihood is beneficial to it." The principle is the same.
Now that the Son of Heaven has first ascended the throne, he still attaches more importance to agriculture, which is a good thing.
"Young master, we all came from poor days, and we don't want to waste money on eating and drinking, just like those rich people say, 'the desire of the tongue'. So we just need to be fed. I am a native of Heze, Shandong, that year, I was only nine years old, there was a great drought in Heze, the summer and autumn grain crops in the state and county were nearly out of production, and three out of ten people starved to death. My father died, and my mother escaped from my hometown with me, wandering and living, and other villagers became homeless. Later, in Texas, my mother met a gangster and died. Eleven said as tears rolled down.
Thirteen also stepped forward to hug him and cried together.
Lin Yuzhi was shocked when he heard it, and his eyes were hot, so he also turned around and looked up at the sky!
"In this world, poor people suffer from natural and man-made disasters, where is there a way to live, I am a bandit in the village, and my father and mother have also died. Since our brothers have survived, we must replace them, our parents and relatives, live, live well, and live as individuals! Brother, don't cry, we can do it! Niu Zhuang also hugged the eleventh and thirteenth brothers, patted them, and said solemnly.
Lin Yuzhi has never deeply realized that he is so close to them, and these poor people have personally experienced their helplessness, hardship, hardship, and struggle.
This is not a bustling capital, not a spacious street, not a brothel in a green house, not a deep house compound, not a temple high, nor a forest of high-rise buildings, with bright lights. This is the field, the field, the farmhouse, the most ordinary people.
"I can't promise you anything, but this new grain seed will increase by at least half, I can promise you! As long as this corn is not a catastrophe year, the yield per mu is 600 or 700 catties! After harvesting corn, we planted winter wheat this year, which is also a new seed, and next year we will strive for a yield of 400 catties per mu. There are also sweet potatoes and potatoes, these two are underground knots, blocks, and can also be used as home-cooked food, but they are high yields, do not pick the soil quality, sandy land is the best, and resistant to drought and flood, can yield more than 1,000 catties per mu. Cotton improvement can double the income, and the yield per mu is more than 300 catties. Lin Yuzhi can't say any other words of comfort now, in his opinion, the most intuitive thing is data, it is a promise, and everything else is empty talk in front of them, meaningless.
"Young Master Lin, what you said is true?" An old, slightly trembling voice came.
Lin Yuzhi turned his head and walked towards the door, only to see that there were already more than 30 people standing at the door, including men, women and children, some with tools, some carrying kettles, those with turbans, those with open arms, and some with children in their hands, all stopped at the door and stared at Lin Yuzhi.
"What are you old about?" Lin Yuzhi was just saddened by more than 11 people, and he didn't notice at all when so many people came to this door.
"Tian Lao, what are you? Why did you call everyone back? Niu Zhuang also stepped forward to help the old man closer, walked in front of Lin Yuzhi, and introduced, "Young master, this is Tian Lao, sixty-two years old, I have to follow everyone here to help farm the land." ”
"Tian Lao, brothers, this is our young master, the talented young master Lin Yuzhilin of Yuelu Academy in the capital, this is the last time to take a break from this year's big competition, but I specially took time out to visit everyone, brothers, let's give the young master a gift!" Niu Zhuang has raised his voice and said.
"No, no, no! Yuzhi deserves everyone's courtesy. Lin Yuzhi pushed and gave way, and more than 30 people at the door had already bowed and saluted.
"Salute Young Master Lin!" "Young Master Lin!" "I wish Young Master Lin Jinke High School!" The gossip and the content were different, which made Lin Yuzhi smile helplessly.
Lin Yu stepped forward and pulled up Tian Lao, grabbed the old man's hand and said, "Old man, brothers, let's not play these false courtesies." Are you old and healthy? Why didn't you rest in the hospital? ”
Niu Zhuang had stepped forward and said, "It must have been Li Zhuzi, this kid did it, I greeted him in advance, the young master will come today, we won't see others when we come, see on time that the young master is coming, so call the big guys back!" ”
After Niu Zhuang finished explaining, he began to shout at the top of his voice, "Li Zhuzi, do you still dare to hide?" Don't come out yet! Let's fight! Call everyone back! ”
Lin Yuzhi didn't care about them, and only pulled Tian Lao to sit down on a bench under the eaves.
"Old man, how are you doing here? If there's anything bad, you mention it to me! Lin Yuzhi sat next to Tian Lao and asked.
"Young Master! I also call you young master like them, I have a good life now, and there is nothing better than this. Zhao Laosan took everyone to follow the young master, and everyone was never hungry again! I'm in good health, and I can go down to the ground! Tian Lao was full of anger, and took Lin Yuzhi's hand and said.
"Okay, that's good. But don't do the work in the field when you are old, let them do it, if there is something wrong, you mention it to them, wouldn't it be better to be an inspector! Lin Yuzhi persuaded, when you are old, you can't go to the ground again, you can't have a cerebral hemorrhage or heart disease, you have to let Niu Zhuang talk to them.
Tian Lao was overjoyed when he heard Lin Yuzhi's words, "This inspector is an official, okay, I can do it, I am sure to supervise them to do their work." ”
"Well, that's right." Lin Yuzhi was persuaded and relieved.
"Young Master, are the words we all just heard at the door true? Can you really harvest so much food? My old man has been farming all his life, and I have never seen such a harvest. If these harvests can really be achieved, the life of the common people will be better! I died immediately, and I could look at it and smile at Jiuquan! Tian Lao said and became excited again.
Lin Yuzhi was so excited to see the old man, he only felt that this farmer was too simple and simple, and his idea was very simple, just thinking that the crops could be harvested better and everyone could eat, which was considered a good life, simple, simple and cute.
"Old man, I don't dare to say anything else, as long as it is not a catastrophe year, the harvest is guaranteed to be achieved, you can rest assured!" Lin Yuzhi said solemnly again.
