Considering that Su Jinxuan was an eldest lady, Su Chongcheng did not let Qingluo follow her to Chengzhoucheng, but let Qingluo follow Su Jinxuan and take care of Su Jinxuan's daily life, lest Su Jinxuan, who was used to the life of the eldest lady, not adapt to Zheng Guo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In Su Chongcheng's opinion, with Qingluo here, Su Jinxuan should not make any big trouble.

In this way, after entrusting Su Jinxuan to Qingluo, Yunji and others, Su Chongcheng took his uncle and some servants to embark on a journey to Chengzhou City.

…………

The approach to Chengzhou City coincided with the beginning of autumn, and the weather at the beginning of autumn was quite cool.

It's been almost two months since I came to this world without realizing it.

Looking at the field in the distance, Su Chongcheng's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked at Boji who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, and asked softly; "Boji, it's the beginning of autumn now, right?"

Boji, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, seemed to be thinking about something, Su Chongcheng called her several times before she reacted, she listened to Su Chongcheng's question, pondered for a while, and then replied; "Brother Chongcheng is right, it's the day of the beginning of autumn, what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that it's time to plant a new round of crops in the current season, and I can't help but feel a little emotional."

Su Chongcheng paused and said; "Food is the foundation of people's livelihood, and I have some worries in my heart. Speaking of which...... I, the son of the Su family, still don't know how the crops of the Su country will be this year. ”

Not to mention the crop harvest of the Su State this year, the young city lord doesn't even know the area of farmland reclaimed by the Su State......

From the perspective of the superior alone, he, a young city lord who has the ability but does not work for the welfare of his people, has really failed enough, compared with Su Jinxuan, a strong woman who is desperately trying to improve the living environment of the people in Wencheng, it is simply a heaven and a place, and the gap is difficult to make up.

Su Chongcheng sighed and couldn't help asking, "Boji, do you know?" The area of farmland reclaimed by the Soviet Union, as well as crop harvests and so on? ”

"I know that, what? Brother Chongcheng has the intention of governing the country? ”

Listening to Su Chongcheng's words, Boji smiled, "It's rare that Brother Chongcheng cares about people's livelihood, so I'll talk about it." ”

As Boji said, Su Chongcheng rarely cares about the thoughts of the people, so Boji also corrected his attitude, she thought about it seriously and said; "First of all, it's a matter of farmland area, Brother Chongcheng, you know the situation in Su State, although Uncle Su Yang now has the intention to reclaim farmland, but Su Country only has two cities, covering a small area, so ah...... When it comes to the total, today's Soviet State has less than 8,000 acres of farmland. ”

"Less than 8,000 acres of farmland?"

Only less than 8,000 acres? Is this a joke?

Not counting the population of Wencheng, there are a full 40,000 households in Xingyun City alone. 40,000 households, how can you raise 40,000 people with less than 8,000 acres of farmland?

With hybrid rice? No kidding, even if hybrid rice is used, 8,000 acres of land can't support 40,000 people, let alone those people in Wencheng.

Thinking of this, Su Chongcheng's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously; "There are only 8,000 acres of farmland in the Soviet Union? How can those 8,000 acres of farmland feed the 40,000 people in Xingyun City? ”

"Yes, there are only 8,000 acres of farmland, even with the help of Su Cheng's magic skills, the harvest can be doubled, and the grain harvest is only between 80,000 and 90,000 stones at most......

Faced with Su Chongcheng's question, Boji replied with a wry smile; "These are naturally not enough for the people of Su to eat, oh, in your words, Brother Chongcheng, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as starving all over the place. However, Miss Jinxuan has a way, she has made a lot of money in the past few years, and if she doesn't have enough food, she goes to Qi to buy grain at a high price and ship it back to Su State...... All in all, it can be regarded as Miss Tuo Jinxuan's blessing, the problem of famine has improved in recent years, although most of them are still below the food and clothing line, but at least they can eat food and not starve to death. ”

Yes, if you don't rely on imported grain, how can you feed 40,000 people with 80,000 or 90,000 stone of grain alone?

I didn't expect that the food problem in the Soviet Union has reached such a serious point, no wonder Qingluo would say that being able to eat rice and meat is something worth cherishing, it turns out that what Qingluo said is true, and it is really good to be able to eat these in the Soviet Union.

Without food, there is no way to increase the population, without the population there is no way to increase productivity, without population and productivity there is no way to feed the army and make weapons...... This is the legendary decay, right?

More importantly, this is no longer a problem that can be solved by increasing the yield per mu, right? Su Cheng has relied on magic to greatly increase grain production, but even this is still a drop in the bucket, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of the total area of farmland......

How can less than 8,000 acres of farmland feed 40,000 people?

Thinking of this, Su Chongcheng's mouth was bitter, yes, the main problem is the total area of farmland, he knows very well what the problem is, but he can't improve the situation.

The Soviet Union is located in the Central Plains, what is that place in the Central Plains?

It is the hottest place in various countries, there is the Chu State known as 5,000 miles of rivers and mountains in the south, and the Jin State known as the mountains and rivers in the north, even if it is not as good as the Jin State that fights every day in the four wars, according to the specifications of the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Chu, it is not much worse.

Trying to open up new land in such a place is a pipe dream.

The Northern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Chu Dynasty do not need to consider pioneering in the north-south direction.

To the east is Zong Zhou, although the royal family of Zong Zhou is in decline, but you can't ignore the face of the royal family, right?

Now the only thing that can be considered is Zheng Guo in the west, well, Yun Ji promised to return the city that once belonged to Su State, and that place can be used, but the problem is that the city belongs to Su State, and the population of the city will also belong to Su State.

Naturally, the more the population, the better, and the more people there are, the more productive forces can slowly develop. But there are more people, and there are more mouths to eat, and now the people of Xingyun City are below the food and clothing line, how can they support the people of those cities?

Received the city returned by Zheng Guo to Su State, and received the population of the city, but in the end he couldn't afford to raise it?

When the people's will is not attached, how should he deal with himself?

These are all questions......

It's still a place like Qin, located in a marginal area, with geographical advantages. At a time when the Central Plains countries were stumbling and consuming each other's national strength, the Qin State, a place that was not connected to the Central Plains in the west, was burying its head in development, just like the United States in the 21st century, and was engaged in development with peace of mind, otherwise how could it be said that the Qin State could unify Zhuxia and unify the six countries?

Problems come one after another, but there is no way to solve them.

Su Chongcheng rubbed his hair, thinking about whether he could find a solution that would not offend other countries and solve the shortage of farmland area.

He pondered for half an hour, and just as the carriage was about to arrive in Chengzhou City, he suddenly slapped his thigh and spoke; "Boji, can you go to other countries to buy land?"

"Buying land?"

Boji tilted his head, "How do you say that?" ”

"It's literal! Land circulation, do you understand? Let's go to other countries to spend money to buy land and sign contracts! ”

"Spending money on land? Contracted? Brother Chongcheng, I can probably understand what you mean, Miss Jinxuan has also made efforts in this regard, but ah...... In the end, the results are not ideal, either they are unwilling to hand over the land to us, or they deliberately allocate some barren land to us, and this plan cannot be implemented at all......"

"So, where did my dear cousin go to contract the land?"

"Well, it's going to Qi country."

"It's right to go to Qi Country, my cousin still has some brains."

As he spoke, Su Chongcheng pulled out a meaningful smile;

"I'm also going to go to Qi to contract land, but ah, my cousin is using the wrong method, if you use my method...... It is definitely possible to have a large area of fertile land under the Qi country. ”
