"Okay, you go down, establish a good relationship with the ministers, and pave the way for the formation of the Ministry of Commerce. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Liu Wei waved his hand and asked Mi Zhu to leave.

"Grass people say goodbye!" Mi Zhu bowed his hand and retreated. Now that Liu Bianna Mi Zhen has entered the palace, Mi Zhu is a relative of the emperor, and with Mi Zhu's communication ability and identity, it is very simple to have a good relationship with the ministers.

After Mi Zhu retreated, Liu Wei pondered. Now that Yuan Shu has been destroyed, all the princes have to concentrate on development in a short time after this war, and they are not capable of starting a war.

In order to fight for Nanyang, the war lasted for more than a year, from the attack on Nanyang in early March of the first year of Jian'an, to the withdrawal of Runan from about June of the second year of Jian'an, it took more than a year.

The consumption of an army of about 70,000 for more than a year was enough for Liu Wei to exhaust the accumulation of several granaries in Yongzhou and Luoyang.

And the compensation of the fallen soldiers, Nanyang brought 200,000 people from Runan and 50,000 people to resettle, Nanyang expanded 20,000 soldiers and horses, and rebuilt Fancheng after it was destroyed. Each of these items costs a lot.

Liu Wei knew that in a short period of time, at least three years, it was impossible to launch a big war, and a big war was the war of destroying the country, just like the battle of destroying Yuan Shu, which lasted for more than a year, mobilized an army of 70,000, and the grain and grass accumulated in the past few years were exhausted. Within three years, Liu Wei did not have the strength to launch such a huge war to destroy the country.

Although Yuan Shao is in danger now, if he wants to destroy Yuan Shao, it is not as simple as destroying Yuan Shao, and destroying Yuan Shao, Zhao Kuangyin and many other princes will definitely not sit idly by. Therefore, to destroy Yuan Shao, Liu Wei must be cautious and cautious, this battle is too important to him, and there must not be the slightest mistake, otherwise a careless accident may ruin Liu Wei's good situation.

Recuperate, accumulate strength, strike a thunderous blow, and exterminate Yuan Shao is the tone set by Liu Wei in recent years. Of course, the war of annihilation cannot be easily launched, but small fights and intrigues continue to weaken Yuan Shao's strength, once there is this opportunity, Liu Wei will not let it go.

Since the main theme of the past few years has been to recuperate, Liu Wei naturally has to set a specific strategy, rather than accumulating national strength by doing nothing. What Liu Wei needs is to formulate specific goals and carry out a strategy of strengthening the country according to the goals.

The establishment of the Ministry of Commerce can be said to have been premeditated for a long time and was improvised by Liu Wei.

First of all, the national system, Liu Wei has long wanted to change the three public and nine secretaries to three provinces and six ministries, as early as a few years ago, Liu Wei founded the Ministry of Medicine, and now the Ministry of Commerce is out, which is to prepare for the three provinces and six ministries. However, this policy has to wait for the third public to retreat, and this must be done slowly. However, this does not prevent the formation of the Ministry of Commerce.

It just so happens that Mi Zhu came to vote, and Mi Zhu can be on this person, and the four dimensions are 59 in force, 63 in commander, 87 in intelligence, and 89 in politics. This four-dimensional is decent, the ability is not weak, but it is not strong, but Mi Zhu is better than loyalty, although he is a businessman, but he is a famous man in Dahan. It is quite sufficient to serve as a minister of the Ministry of Commerce with Mi Zhu's ability and qualifications.

Because of the arrival of Mi Zhu, Liu Wei decided to set up a commercial department at the moment, but in fact, it is not the best time to develop business. After all, the Han Dynasty is a country based on agriculture, and although the development of commerce can promote prosperity, the effect is just like that, and it cannot develop the Han Dynasty into the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time.

"At present, the development of business is indeed a bit impatient, and commercial development will inevitably have an impact on agriculture, but I have to find a way to make up for this shortcoming!" Liu Wei pondered.

The situation of commercial development is that everyone pursues profits, and the farmland is wasted, and people want to eat, right? If there is no one to cultivate, is there anything to eat? The development of commerce will have an impact on agriculture, which is the biggest disadvantage of commercial development.

It can also be said to be the drawback of this era, later generations went out to work, there were many businessmen, and there were almost few people in the countryside who farmed, but they could feed 1.3 billion people with very little land! In addition to the import of grain from foreign countries, the development of productive forces is the fundamental cause.

For example, one acre of land in Dahan can produce 200 catties of grain a year, and it can be sown once a year. In later generations, one mu of land was 800 catties, and it could be sown three times a year, that is to say, the same land could harvest 200 catties a year in Dahan, and in later generations, it could harvest 2,400 catties.

The harvest of one acre of land can feed one person in the Han Dynasty, and in the next generation, it can feed twelve people.

It's a world of difference!

The development of commerce will make the people give up farming, but if it can increase productivity, it can fill the gap that people have abandoned agriculture in business.

It is very easy to develop productive forces and increase grain output with the various technologies in Liu Debate's system. The production of high-quality seeds and fertilizers in later generations was too simple. If grain production can be increased by one-fifth, the people under Liu Bian's rule will be more than 10 million, and if the grain output can be increased by one-fifth, it will be able to feed two million more people.

Let's ask Liu Wei whether the development of commerce can make two million people give up farming and go to business? In this era of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, in addition to Liu Bian's preparation to establish a commercial law and control it. At most, tens of thousands of people are willing to take the risk of business. There will not be many such as merchants.

Liu Wei developed commerce and encouraged the people to do business, but at the same time, he developed productive forces and increased grain production to fill the gap. A closer look reveals the horror of the gap. And this vacancy can not only be filled, but also infinitely enhanced, forming a towering tree!

Of course, this depends on how much grain production Liu can increase with the technology in the system.

If this number can be increased exponentially, the food under Liu Wei will increase indefinitely, so much that it will be too much to eat. These things are all foundations, which can be used to wage war.

The main grains of this era were grain, rice, millet, wheat, millet, and soybean, and there is also a saying that hemp replaced rice. In the early days, the Yellow River basin was the center of China, and the north was not suitable for growing rice, so early rice was not among the five grains.

If he wants to increase production, Liu Wei must first start from the top of the five grains.

Liu Bian, who came from later generations, is no longer very familiar with the five grains, rice and wheat are the most familiar to Liu Bian, and the rest of the hemp, mushroom, millet and Liu Biao have not eaten it. In this era, grains are the staple food, and Liu Wei has eaten a lot. But Liu Wei knew that the yield was terrible.

Liu Wei was a northerner in his previous life, and he also farmed land in his early years, only more than one acre, but it was enough to feed his family. However, in this era, it is impossible to feed a person with an acre of land, and it is impossible to be laughed at by people when you say it.

The reason is that the yield of grains is too low and too low, Liu Wei is not familiar with grains, but he knows sorghum, he has also eaten it, the taste is not good, the yield is very low and very low. Sorghum is also a very important staple food in the northern part of the Han Dynasty, and it is hard to imagine that these things were mainly eaten in the Han Dynasty.

If you want to increase food production, you need to replace grains with new crops!

Among the five grains, wheat and rice will not be replaced, and the future generations will be northern wheat and southern rice. Wheat and rice, two crops, have gradually come to the fore after thousands of years of development. Replacing other grains, what Liu Wei wanted to do was to use wheat and rice as the main ones in advance, and the rest of the others, Liu Wei decided to replace them, not to mention the low yield, the yield was not high under thousands of years of development, and it was not delicious.

Of course, these grains are local products of China, and Liu Wei will not let them be completely replaced, after all, it contains the painstaking efforts of countless generations of ancestors. If it was because of Liu Bian, these crops would have dissipated in China, and Liu Bian would not be able to get over it. Liu Wei was still afraid that after many years, he would be said to be their native crop by other dynasties.

After all, some people are famous for being shameless!

After focusing on wheat, Liu Wei can take out the high-quality wheat seeds in the system and plant them, so that it is easy to increase grain production.

Of course, it is not enough to just grow wheat, and Liu Wei also decided to exchange several high-quality grains from the system.

In the early years, Liu Wei exchanged sweet potatoes, and now sweet potatoes have been widely planted in Yongliang, and many people have been saved with sweet potatoes, and various ways to eat sweet potatoes have also been studied by the people. Cooking and roasting all know this, but the smart people found that sweet potatoes are not conducive to storage, so they made sweet potato flour, using sweet potato flour, you can make glutinous rice balls, which is an unexpected joy.

This time, Liu Wei fell in love with corn and potatoes!

These two crops were introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty, and their yields are far superior to those of hemp, mushroom, millet and other crops in the five grains.

Not to mention corn, two to three corn cobs can grow on a corn stalk, and one corn can feed a person. Corn can be boiled and eaten, and it can also be ground into flour to make cakes. With the technology of the Han Dynasty, the way to eat corn was completely bearable.

And the corn stalk is a treasure, it has a short growth cycle, it can be used to make fertilizer, can also be fed to livestock. Liu Wei took the Hetao and prepared to set up a horse farm to raise horses, and he could use corn stalks as livestock rations.

Potatoes, like sweet potatoes, have a high yield, and can be eaten in a way that can be cooked, boiled, and steamed. In addition, the vines of potatoes can also be eaten by livestock, although there is no such thing as stir-frying in this era, but it does not hinder the cultivation of potatoes.

Liu Wei thought about it for a while and decided to exchange soybeans, soybeans are soybeans, in fact, soybeans are also available in this era. It is soybean, but the soybean grains in this era are very small and the yield is not high, which is not the same as the soybeans of later generations.

Wheat as the staple food, supplemented by sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and soybeans, was Liu's determination to change grain cultivation to increase crop yields.

There is no need for other planting techniques or cultivation techniques, as long as Liu Wei replaces grains with these crops, the grain output under Liu Bian's command can be increased a lot.

However, Liu Wei was not satisfied, in the past few years he has been able to govern the country wholeheartedly, and since he has focused on developing productive forces in recent years, it is natural that he must try his best to improve productive forces.

Liu Wei continued to inspect the technology in the system mall, trying to find a way to use it in agriculture. At the same time, in my head, I am thinking about what can be done.
