Chapter XXXVII: The Temple Examination 2
"Chu Yun see the emperor" The man knelt down with Chu Yun to worship
"Get up, why are you here, I thought you ran away"
"Little Girl Don't Dare"
"Don't you dare, aren't you very bold, don't you want to beat me so that I can't even recognize my own mother, you're still too timid" As soon as I finished speaking, there was a burst of inhalation above the entire hall, no one dared to say that the emperor couldn't even recognize the queen mother, all the ministers looked at Chu Yun, and they were all thinking, this woman is really a man
"Say, since you're back, then your answer, just tell me, what is this person next to you doing" The ministers short-circuited their brains again, the emperor is jealous, it seems that this woman is not simple
"Hehe, Xiao Ke has asked the emperor to say goodbye, Xiao Ke's surname is Chu, his name is Lu Li, and he is the brother of Yun'er's mother" It turned out to be the eldest brother, hahaha, you can't be too enthusiastic, or it seems that we don't have a city
"Ao, then why is Young Master Chu here?"
"Of course I came to the palace to try it" Chu Luli returned to take it for granted, I didn't feel very happy to listen to it, I don't like nepotism very much, but since I am Chu Yun's brother, let's try his level, or the question just now, I asked Chu Luli again
"Your Majesty, Xiao Ke has already heard the answers of Lord Wu and Lord Zheng outside the palace, and the answers of the two adults are close to perfect, but Xiao Ke thinks that there are still shortcomings" Chu Luli gave up his hand to Wu Yong and Zheng Junyan, and then said to me, "Your Majesty, you can do it, as Lord Zheng said, why should those young adults sell to others, why can't we keep it for ourselves, paving roads and building bridges does not require labor, opening mountains and mining, which does not require labor, if we use these people to build roads and bridges for our country, Then the common people of our country will be able to lighten the burden of forced labor and concentrate on production, and this will not be more beneficial to the development of agriculture, industry, and commerce in our country. After Chu Luli finished speaking, he arched his hand to me
I am very emotional, the wisdom of the ancients is really incomparable, this is the fact that I have transferred the contradictions within the country to the outside world, if this is put in the past, let them play their own people, you say, with the IQ of this group of bastards, how many people have to play to death, alas, I am here because of the hardship, or this guy with a black belly like ink, he will not be able to turn the sky upside down, Ao, by the way, the previous Wu Yong has already rebelled against the sky with a group of people
"Our country has little land, but it is rich in products, commercial trade is passed down and down, exchanges are all over the world, and the taxes obtained are naturally quite rich, and our people have a characteristic of money, which is like a towel, which can absorb a lot of wealth, so how can we drive the people to let this money flow, and add an income to the people and the treasury of our Great Song Dynasty? Any Aiqing can talk about ideas if he has them."
"Your Majesty, in fact, this is very simple, and Rong Chen will use an analogy to illustrate this" This is a thin man who stood up and bowed to me and said, although he was wearing a coarse cloth dress, the light in his eyes was not as simple as his clothes
"Say it"
"It's the emperor, for example, the imperial court asked Zhang San to work, Zhang San got to pay ten Guan Wen, Zhang San asked Li Si to make a hoe, a sickle and a shovel to use Wu Guan Wen, and then Li Si used the money earned to buy three Guan Wen's meat at Wang Wu's meat shop, and then went to Tian Liu's grain and oil shop to buy two Guan Wen's rice grain, and then Wang Wu and Tian Liu drank wine in the tavern, and then went to the cloth shop melon and fruit shop to buy the necessary daily necessities, and all of them needed to pay taxes to the imperial court every month, and the court used this money to continue to recruit people to work, the same ten Guan Wen, As long as the court increases guidance, the money in the hands of the people will naturally flow quickly into the growing economic ocean of the imperial court, and in reality, the state recruits workers to work in the name of the imperial court, and naturally there is no first payment of wages, and when the workers finish their work, the imperial court has already collected taxes, and then take money from this tax to pay the workers' wages, and the imperial court only needs to operate from it to make the craftsmen have jobs, farmers have tools, the people have meat to eat, and the traders have money to earn, And the imperial court naturally has high taxes, and the guarantee of all this is naturally the strength of the country."
I was surprised to see that such a person was saying the same way that the economy of later generations would circulate
"What's your name, where are you from?"
"Minister Jiang Jing, a native of Tanzhou, Hunan"
God operator Jiang Jing?? Why didn't you see it in the examination room, I motioned for Jiang Jing to retreat to Chaoban, and then said
"Chu Yun, I remember that you said a hybrid rice," I asked Chu Yun
"You still ask my brother, that's what he has studied over the years" Although Chu Yun still spoke so coldly, there was incomparable grievance in her eyes, and she would ask her later
"Chu Luli, say it"
"It's the emperor, Xiao Ke was young"
"In the future, you will call yourself a minister, and you will come to participate in the temple examination"
"Yes, thank the emperor for his longen" Chu Luli heard that I had promoted him to a jinshi, and he knelt down excitedly to thank him, and said that he was idle and wild, but people have learned from the past and the present, and they have to learn what to do, not to seal their wives and sons
"Flatten, keep talking"
"Yes, the emperor, when the minister was young, he traveled everywhere with the master down the mountain, and saw that seven or eight out of ten of the people of our country were bound to this field, although there are a lot of good fields in our country, but the yield per mu is not high is indeed a fatal weakness of our country, my country has a total of 720 million mu of fertile land, and there are about 70 million male and female farmers, excluding the old and young, there are still 40 million people, and the paddy fields are about 500 million mu, and the average person has about 123 acres of paddy fields, and the yield of rice per mu is only a little more than one stone, and the average per person is only 145 or 5 stone of rice per year, Even if Guangnan Road is hot all year round, rice is harvested twice a year, and the annual yield of rice is only 30 quintals, after the minister saw it, he was very worried in his heart, such a low grain yield, if a war or natural and man-made disasters broke out, how would these thousands of farmers live, so the minister visited all parts of the country and found that the rice yield in the south was higher, but the ability to resist lodging, drought and pests and diseases was low, while the rice in the north had a good ability to resist pests and diseases and drought, but the yield was not high, Then there is a coastal line of rice with strong wind resistance and lodging resistance, and the yield is not good, but other aspects are not good, so after seven years of hard work, Chen finally cultivated a rice with a very high yield, lodging resistance, disease and insect resistance, and drought resistance, and just last year, this year, in two years, the rice field planted by Chen has yielded nearly 40 stone rice per mu."
