Shi Bufan advocated cutting grain production, because the population of Datang had just experienced turmoil, and the population had suddenly decreased countless times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Under such circumstances, Shi Bufan adopted the method of increasing grain production and increased grain production, but the population did not keep up with the increase, which will inevitably lead to the consequence of grain cheapness and injury to farmers. At this time, Shi Bufan is sure that if he increases grain production at this time, it will cause grain cheapness and hurt farmers. Shi Bufan can't be like other traversers, killing and burying it, and in an era when there is too much food to eat, he desperately increases food production without caring about the consequences.

Many people traveled to the early Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to increase grain production, isn't this in the brain? Let's not talk about the grain that was left from the Sui Dynasty and wanted to be moldy, if it continued to increase production rashly, wouldn't this be forcing the people to suffer losses from the grain? While the time has increased food production, it has also to bear the consequences of the explosion in food production. It is inevitable that the consequence of increasing productivity will be that the grain will hurt the peasants. The extraordinary time unleashes productivity, and it must be adjusted appropriately.

The current cooperative model has not yet been completely stabilized, and once there is a situation where the peasants are hurt by the peasants, the peasants will inevitably think about taking the initiative to restore the small-scale peasant economy of the past. The small-scale peasant economy is a way to maintain the stability of the people due to low food production. However, it is necessary to stifle the living space of the small-scale peasant economy as soon as possible, and not to allow the current corporatized planting method to return to the small-scale peasant economy. Ordinary people are pursuing stability and stable income, so they may not support the continued increase in grain production, so they are likely to choose to turn back the wheel of history again and protect their own interests by turning back the wheel of history.

But Shi Bufan can't, Shi Bufan, as a historian, as a ruler, what he wants to do is to prevent the people from turning back history for their livelihoods. Ordinary people may work hard for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but when they reach the level of the ruler of Shi Bufan, they consider far more than just food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also the security of the country, the development of the country, and even the future of the nation. Now that he has allowed the smallholder economy to be gradually stifled, he cannot allow this historical process to go back again. Therefore, he wants the people to continue to maintain this corporatized planting method to ensure the stability of basic agricultural grain prices.

"In the future, the grain of the north will be replaced by the south. There will be enough food in the South to feed all the people of our North, and our North will be gradually transformed. We in the north will gradually abandon grain cultivation as the main economic method, and I will hold talks with the wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River to discuss the planting plan to ensure the stability of grain prices and the interests of the people in the north. We plan farming according to the population and ensure the stability of various agricultural prices. The north can consider planting a variety of cash crops, so as to meet the people's demand for cash crops by planting cash crops! Shi Bufan said.

But immediately someone asked, "What is a cash crop?" ”

Shi Bufan explained: "The so-called cash crops, that is, things including medicinal herbs, mulberry trees, fruits, etc., in short, basically agricultural products other than staple grains are also cash crops. ”

Shi Bufan suggested that they change their past planting methods and engage in the cultivation of cash crops. Because in the future, the grain in the Jiangnan area alone will be enough to supply the food needs of the entire Chinese people, and the population of the Tang Dynasty is small, so the grain supply in Jiangnan will be enough for the whole country. As for the Central Plains, it can maintain a relative gradual change and grow cash crops. Including all kinds of mulberry trees, as well as all kinds of hemp and so on. Such an approach could provide raw materials for many industries in the future, while reducing agrifood production and keeping agrifood prices from plummeting.

Shi Bufan often saw a lot of unsalable agricultural products in later generations, and these unsalable agricultural products he used economics to think, many times it was a lack of guidance and a lack of planned planting. Many farmers make money because they see something, and then concentrate on what they plant, which eventually causes an oversupply, and ends up losing money. Some farmers see that a certain product is selling well, and concentrate on planting, but in the end they will lose money. An example of this lies in the fact that there are simply too many rural areas, blindly following trends. At present, there is a possibility that grain prices are about to dive, and at that time, Bufan will inevitably have to ventilate with the wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River and take the initiative to reduce the grain output plan in the north to maintain grain prices.

On the contrary, the north has changed its economic model of cultivation, directly changing from the past to mainly grain, and gradually transformed into various cash crops.

"I recently heard that someone has developed a new way to make paper, right?" Shi Bufan asked.

Soon someone replied: "Yes, I also heard, I heard that someone has developed papermaking, which used to take a long time to make paper, and now papermaking can come out in just ten days!" They have already applied for a patent from the imperial court and are ready to produce paper. ”

Shi Bufan quickly said, "Have you seen it? In the past, it took a year to make paper, but now it is only ten days. And this is a market, a market that consumes a lot of wood. ”

Although Shi Bufan did not invent this papermaking technique, he did not engage in papermaking like many travelers, because he knew that ancient people were not stupid, and there was no shortage of people engaged in science in ancient times. That's because there is a lack of a platform for engaging in science, because in ancient times, those who engaged in science could not bring official positions or economic benefits, so naturally no one was enthusiastic about engaging in science. Shi Bufan provides a platform for these people who are engaged in science, and that is the Patent Act. In this way, this patent bill is enough to stimulate many talented people to join in science, because inventing things can get a lot of income, and you can get income that you can't get in a lifetime or even dozens of generations.

As a result, businessmen are eager to invest in scientific research, and what was lacking in ancient times was a platform to maintain inventors, not a lack of inventors. China does not lack inventors, but lacks a platform to maintain and encourage inventions. Shi Bufan gave this platform, and various inventions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

At present, papermaking technology has been greatly improved soon, and this kind of papermaking from the past took a year to make paper, but now it is only ten days. Of course, it is not so easy to make paper. Many time-travelers invented papermaking, but they ignored the materials needed to make paper. Papermaking requires a lot of wood, and many travelers don't care what this wood is used for. With excellent papermaking technology, but ignoring the problem of raw materials.

"Hehe, using bagasse to make paper, it's really a big laugh!" Shi Bufan smiled bitterly in his heart.

Many travelers directly plan to use bagasse to make paper, but if bagasse can make paper, this technical means are very complicated. Bagasse papermaking technology may appear to be an energy and resource conservatory, but in fact it is not. The technology of bagasse papermaking is complex, the process is complex, and there are many problems. Even in the later generations, the cost of making paper from bagasse is very high. Too many people who crossed the Tang Dynasty ignored the reality and came directly. It's like this in this world, if you invent a new papermaking technology, there are not enough raw materials, and it's in vain.

"You can plant poplars, and poplars can grow in five years. However, if it takes three years, it is enough to make paper. Three years of poplar trees is enough to make paper. And I estimate that each acre of land can get more than a consistent income, and a few acres of land can also get a lot, which is enough to feed a large family of people. Originally, according to the original way, it took 100 acres of land to be able to feed a family, but now a few acres of land can be used, which is a very huge progress. Shi Bufan said.

Those businessmen also saw that if this method of planting poplars was followed, one acre of land for three years could generate a consistent income. That means that ten acres of land can also ensure the survival of a family, you must know that in the past, the small peasant economy, but it took 100 acres of land to barely meet the people's life, and now planting poplars can be satisfied with less than ten acres of land, and even life is better.

"This poplar, which is used to make paper, is also a cash crop. It can ensure that the people can use less land to meet the survival needs of more people, and use the same area of land to feed more people. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan hopes that these people planting poplar trees can not only provide a large number of raw materials for the new papermaking technology, but even allow more people to have paper to use. Paper is the carrier of words, and words are the needs of human civilization. In ancient times, writing was the foundation material of human civilization, so the more paper, the better.

Of course, if there is a better text inheritance substrate, it can also be eliminated. When electronic devices are enough to replace paper, that's when paper becomes obsolete. Of course, some fools say that they forget to write with a pen, thinking that they just know how to use electronic devices, but they forget how to write? Hearing this, Shi Bufan really felt that these guys were really thinking strangely. Because writing on paper is just to satisfy the inheritance of civilization. The inheritance of civilization is the goal, and writing is the means. If there is a better way to achieve this goal, it is not impossible to eliminate backward means. If computers can replace handwriting, why should we continue to write by hand? A large group of fools regard forgetting to write as a flood beast, but they completely forget that writing words is a means to inherit civilization, and with better means, it is not normal to eliminate backward means?

At present, Shi Bufan still relies on papermaking, which can spread knowledge and accelerate the speed of knowledge diffusion. Only by diffusion of knowledge as soon as possible can the people obtain knowledge more quickly, so that other industries can be further developed. In the future, whether it is the military, all aspects or even business, a large number of high-quality personnel will be needed. Therefore, this papermaking can meet more needs and can meet the needs of more knowledge dissemination.

"Shi Langzhong, is there something else that can be used to make money? There is a lot to grow on this land, and more can be obtained in the future? Someone asked.

Shi Bufan nodded and said, "That's right, in fact, it's not just this poplar, you can supplement your needs according to various situations." According to the needs of the market, take the initiative to maintain stability and make a plan for planting. For example, for papermaking, poplars can be planted, and for other things, such as the Turkic people in the north, they need a lot of food and all kinds of vegetables. In fact, you can grow vegetables nearby and make dried vegetables to meet the needs of the Turks! ”

"If the people's grain can be satisfied, then it is natural to start thinking about other agricultural and sideline products. For example, vegetables, the people's demand for grains has been satisfied, and vegetables are naturally needed to supplement them. Even meat! Pork is a very common meat, and raising pigs requires a lot of feed. How is feed made, isn't it a product of various agriculture? You can grow feed for pigs, and it's also a cash crop! ”

Shi Bufan encouraged these people to grow forage to meet the needs of pigs, and Shi Bufan also encouraged pig raising, that is, feeding pigs with feed. In later generations, some people said that their pigs did not eat feed, and even when it came to feed, they were like beasts of prey. Shi Bufan is really speechless about these people, some merchants claim that their pigs don't eat feed, and then deliberately sell them at a high price, and some people buy them? These people who go to buy "non-feed" pork, they don't know how much IQ tax they pay. There is nothing wrong with the feed itself, the point is what material this feed is made of.

Feed is a very broad word, as long as it is something that animals eat, it can be called feed. If you feed grass to the animals, then the grass is also fodder. Whatever is fed to the animal, then this thing is also feed. However, some people say that pigs do not eat feed, doesn't that mean that this pig can grow up without eating? Who actually believes in this kind of gimmick? Doesn't pigs have to eat anything to grow up? So these people who believe that pigs that don't eat feed are paying IQ taxes! As long as the animal eats, it is also eating feed, and there is no pig in this world that does not eat feed.

So not only will not prevent the animals from growing the materials needed for the feed, but will support it. As for saying that some people deliberately put some abnormal materials in the feed, then this is not the sin of the feed. Some people are black-hearted, but the word feed is black-hearted, as if the animal that eats feed is not a good animal.

Shi Bufan should avoid too much damage to the interests of the peasants through the industrial transformation of the north, and avoid the disintegration of the corporate planting of agricultural cooperatives due to the serious damage to the peasants' interests. It is guaranteed that it will not disintegrate, support it for a few more years, and after the people adapt to it, it will naturally be able to enter the fast lane of social transformation.
