Two hundred and eighty-five. Spring ploughing and spring planting

When Li Rujin arrived at the cabinet, he was warmly welcomed by the elders, but he felt like an old fox staring at a little white rabbit, of course, Li Rujin could only be the poor little white rabbit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The Great Elder can be said to be very appreciative of Li Rujin's ability, whether it is military or political and people's livelihood, and he is even more helpful to Li Rujin's proposal, such as in the reform, the measures proposed by Li Rujin are to spare no effort to help, otherwise, the reform of the Dawen Empire will not be implemented so smoothly.

The Great Elder took Li Rujin to his office and said with a smile: "Rujin, are you still angry with the old man?" ”

Li Rujin only admires and admires this old man who has worked all his life for the empire and done his best for the development of the empire, even if he has used some small means against Li Rujin, Li Rujin can't hate this old man.

Without him, this old man is dedicated to the country, and those small means are essentially for the empire. What reason does Li Rujin have to hate this old man.

"Don't dare, how dare the kid be angry with the Great Elder, the Great Elder is dedicated to the country, the kid only has the intention of admiration, and there is no reason to be angry with the Great Elder!"

"That's good! That's good! The Great Elder touched the few remaining beards under his chin and asked Li Rujin to sit down. Then he personally cut a cup of tea for Li Rujin, how dare Li Rujin let the Great Elder make tea, and hurriedly got up, but was pressed by the Great Elder, and listened to the Great Elder say: "This cup of tea is considered to be my previous move to accompany you." ”

Li Rujin said again: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

After the Great Elder made tea for Li Rujin, he sat down next to Li Rujin and said, "I am also helpless to do this move!" ”

After saying that, the Great Elder let out a long sigh and frowned, thinking about something.

After a while, the Great Elder held a stack of documents and handed them to Li Rujin, asking him to take a closer look, and then walked to the desk and buried himself in the papers.

The position of the Great Elder is similar to that of the Prime Minister of the country, it is a busy work, hard work and hard work, although the position is high and powerful, but the price paid is also extremely difficult, not to mention, there is an emperor above him, and there is a military department that constantly pulls his hind legs.

There is no separation between the military and government of the empire, and the great elder has to worry a lot about the affairs of the military department. The emperor's performance is remarkable, he hasn't done anything bastard, he is a good emperor, although he doesn't have any eloquence, but he is very sensible, as long as it is reasonable and beneficial to the empire, he can get his support.

But the martial artists in the military department are not good, except that fighting is fighting, and he suspects that the martial artists in the military department have muscles in their heads instead of brains. In war, what is not piled up with money, as small as a bullet or as large as a tank, it is all silver spent in vain!

Thinking of this, the Great Elder felt that his brain hurt again, stood up, and walked around the office.

Li Rujin picked up the document and looked at it, the first one was the following provinces asking the cabinet for money, the second was the same, the third was the same, Li Rujin flipped through the bottom, basically asking for money!

Belch! Why do they all ask for money? What does the Great Elder mean by asking me to see this?

Just as the Great Elder walked up to Li Rujin, he saw Li Rujin with a confused face and asked, "Finished reading?" ”

"Aren't they all documents that ask for money?"

"Didn't look closely?"

"Huh?"

Li Rujin picked up the document again and looked at it carefully.

This document is Hunan's application to the cabinet for funds for spring cultivation and farmland water conservancy maintenance, which is not much, totaling 820 million yuan. Hunan, one of the provinces severely damaged by the floods, was also the main grain-producing area of the Dawen Empire.

The Spring Festival has passed, and it will not be long before spring plowing and spring planting will begin, which is related to grain production, and the foundation of the empire. Li Rujin picked up the other documents, which were basically the same, yes! It's the spring of another year, and the plan of the year lies in the spring, whether the empire can make a comeback this year, this year's spring plowing and spring planting is the first battle.

The total number of applications for funds for spring plowing and spring planting in various provinces has reached tens of billions. Li Rujin closed the document and asked the Great Elder, how much money does the cabinet have?

"There's a little more than 12 billion. It's the gold you shipped from Africa. ”

"How much money can be spent on spring plowing and spring planting now?"

The Great Elder thought for a moment, "It's about 8 billion." “

"Can't you have more?"

"Not going to Africa?"

Li Rujin stopped talking, fell silent, and thought carefully about how to use the limited funds to maximize the effect.

The countryside of the empire has begun to reform, and the effect is very good, if it weren't for that damn flood, the empire would not have been so badly injured, but the flood is a natural disaster, and no one can stop it! Let's think about it and pay attention.

The rural reform of the Dawen Empire had already contracted farmland to individuals, and the peasants' enthusiasm for production had been mobilized, although there was still potential for further digging, but it was of little use to save money.

Or start from other aspects, Li Rujin's head kept turning, constantly comparing the two worlds, hoping to find a good way.

The limited funds must be concentrated in order to play the greatest role, once dispersed, it is a drop of water into the sea, and it cannot make a splash at all. What can be done in a centralized manner?

The method really reminded Li Rujin of one thing, although the rural areas of the Dawen Empire implemented the household contract responsibility system, it was still a small peasant idea in cultivating seedlings, and each family cultivated its own seedlings.

If we can implement unified cultivation of seedlings and unified planting at the city and county levels, this will definitely save a lot of money than each family's planting, and since we want to unify the seedlings, the selection of this rice variety has become the top priority.

Li Rujin told the Great Elder about the idea of funds, and when the Great Elder heard it, his eyes lit up, in this way, he could indeed save a lot of money, but this seedling made the Great Elder a little headache, because it was a unified seedling, if, in case this rice seed was chosen wrong, the impact would be great.

Agriculture is the foundation of the Dawen Empire, the emperors of all dynasties have attached great importance to agricultural production, and there are also professional agricultural institutions, the Great Elder immediately found the person in charge of the agricultural institution and asked about relevant matters.

This inquiry made the Great Elder and Li Rujin very happy, the agricultural institutions of the empire have been working on the selection of excellent varieties of seeds, but due to the small peasant mentality of the peasants, it has been difficult to promote, and there are many good varieties piled up in the warehouse.

Li Rujin immediately asked the person in charge to take the relevant data, how many good seeds are in the warehouse, how much can the yield per mu of this seed reach, how long the growth cycle is, whether it can be popularized in a large area, and so on.

Unexpectedly, the person in charge of the data came as soon as he opened his mouth, it can be said that he knows everything well, Li Rujin looked at the person in charge, this guy is definitely a talent, a rare talent! If you want to teach him the cultivation method of hybrid rice, can the Dawen Empire also produce a father of hybrid rice?
