Chapter 396: Breeding and Contracting
"Minister, there is a play." At this time, Zhongshu ordered Chu Suiliang to come out of the queue and bow down to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, and then said, "Speak." ”。
Chu Suiliang bowed, and then spoke, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has obtained countless cattle, sheep and horses since the conquest of the alien races, among which cattle are the foundation of cultivation, and the farm has not yet been established. ”
Qin Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he thought that he had told Li Shimin about this matter, and Li Shimin would do it, but later, because Li Shimin wanted to deal with Qin Yu, he was robbed by Qin Yu, so he delayed, sighed secretly, and then nodded, and was about to speak Chu Suiliang hesitated at this time, bowed down and said again.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
Qin Yu immediately smiled when he heard this, and then said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it, the court meeting is to speak freely, I won't blame you Aiqing, no matter what, even if you say it, whether it's right or wrong, I will listen, and you Aiqing should also listen, Daqin is not my Daqin, but also your Aiqing's Daqin." ”。
As soon as Qin Yu's words landed, Chu Suiliang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were also a lot easier, no way, Qin Yu's deterrence is too great, who called Qin Yu to be able to fly with a sword, and he had great military achievements, decisive killing, and officials with more than eighty percent of the chances did not dare to speak casually, but now, Qin Yu's words made these officials feel a lot more relieved.
"Your Majesty, the number of cattle obtained by levying from foreign races is already enough, if each family has a ploughing ox, it is not impossible to do it, yes, Weichen feels that instead of raising ploughing cattle, it is better to distribute them directly to the people, one head per household. In this way, it is better to directly ask the people to cultivate with all their might, coupled with His Majesty's great development of water power, as well as the promotion of farm fertilizer, it is difficult to think of high grain yields. ”。
Chu Suiliang's words landed. Many officials began to nod their heads in agreement, even the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others thought so, but Qin Yu was stunned, and then reacted, it was really like this, now the population of Great Qin is not like that of later generations, more than a billion at every turn, then nodded, and then asked. "Can it really reach one cow per household?"
Chu Suiliang nodded very seriously, and then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has calculated that there are now more than two million cattle. Not counting the ploughing cattle brought back by His Majesty from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, although the ploughing cattle of Daqin were originally scarce, there were quite a few, and now if these ploughing cattle are distributed to the people, they are enough for one household. ”。
Qin Yu heard this. Then he nodded, and then said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Aiqing, and you must ensure that each household has a ploughing cow." ”。
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Suiliang bowed. Then he answered loudly.
Chu Suiliang's suggestion was good, Qin Yu was not a god, how could he be comprehensive, and because of Chu Suiliang's words, Qin Yu thought of another thing. Farms.
Cattle, for the time being, can not make up their minds, wait for Daqin after agricultural mechanization, but pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese are necessary, this can not only provide meat, but also can provide rich protein, chickens, ducks and geese will lay eggs, meat and eggs into the market, will also stimulate the economy, and the livestock manure of the farm can also be used as fertilizer for livestock, in one fell swoop.
How to run this farm well, Qin Yu doesn't have much experience, but he also knows more than people in this era, thinking of this, Qin Yu immediately smiled, and then said, "I have an idea, you Aiqing listen, there is something wrong." ”。
When the hundred officials heard this, they hurriedly cheered up one by one, ready to listen to what Qin Yu had to say, Qin Yu smiled slightly when he saw this, and then spoke.
"I am going to encourage the people to build farms, breeding, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, these farms can provide meat, eggs, fish, these nutrients that people usually need, and can also provide wool, fluff and other raw materials for making down jackets, duvets, sweaters, so that the people can become rich, and can also give birth to some factories, such as sweater factories, down factories, etc., and can increase many workers, and the manure in the farms can also be used to fertilize the land."
As soon as Qin Yu's words landed, all the officials were stunned, but they didn't expect the farm that Qin Yu said to be so useful, and after a while, Fang Xuanling came out of the queue and bowed down and said.
"Your Majesty, this move is good, but Your Majesty, no one has ever done this kind of centralized breeding, and some people have only done raising war horses, cattle and sheep, and they are also of different races, and my people of Daqin have basically no one raised so many livestock and poultry."
"How to get this farm, no one knows, more importantly, even if the people have a way to breed, but where do those pigs and sheep, chickens, ducks and geese come from, although the people don't have to worry about hunger now, but there is not much money, Weichen listened to His Majesty, the scale of this farm is not as simple as a few dozens, I don't know if Your Majesty takes these into account."
When Qin Yu heard this, he immediately smiled, and then said, "I have read an ancient book, there is a breeding method on it, this can be used for reference, as for the problem that the people do not have much money, I have also considered it, this can be completely lent to the people by the bank, and then the people go to buy pigs and sheep, or chickens, ducks and geese, and then raise, the scale can be large or small." ”。
"Banks? Wechen has heard some news, and it is much more convenient to have a bank, but Your Majesty, is there some suspicion of competing with the people for profit when this loan is made to the people? When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then bowed down and asked.
"Breeding can already be regarded as a business, so how can it be suspected of competing with the people for profit?" Qin Yu glanced at Fang Xuanling with a smile, and then continued, "What's more, I don't need the collateral of the people who are engaged in the breeding business, if I make it, I will return the principal and interest, and if I lose it, I don't need the people to pay money, just convert the livestock into a reasonable price and hand it over to the bank, it doesn't matter if it's not enough, this is also counted as an attempt, a welfare, in short, it won't make the people have worries, it just takes some time, of course, it's not okay to be engaged in this industry, Daqin can't toss like this, so there are still restrictions, there can only be one or a few farms in each place, whoever tries first will belong to whom, of course, I will not restrict the people from raising chickens, ducks, geese or pigs and sheep, but compared to farms, farms have more advantages, Fang Aiqing still has questions? ”。
Fang Xuanling shook his head, and then bowed down and responded, "Weichen has no doubts. ”。
Qin Yu handed over this matter to the bank to do, which can be regarded as making a name for the bank, so that the people know the role of the bank, of course, the loan interest is very low.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji came out of the ranks, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a plan to play." ”。
Qin Yu smiled slightly, and then said, "Speak." ”。
The eldest grandson Wuji bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, during the period when Your Majesty went on the expedition, Wechen received requests from many businessmen to contract the Daqin Highway, and Wechen originally wanted to directly reject these people, because Daqin still has slaves available, and the cost is very small, but Your Majesty has said that you want to develop commerce, because Wechen has not rejected these merchants, I don't know Your Majesty?" At this point, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the businessmen of this era would be so far-sighted and have ideas, of course they made money by building roads, but they made money from the Great Qin Imperial Court.
At this time, an official said with some annoyance, "Merchants are businessmen, and these people are too bold to dare to fight the idea of the imperial court. ”。
Many officials also echoed, Qin Yu knocked on the table, stopped the noise of the hundred officials, pondered for a moment, then looked at the hundred officials, and then said, "The Daqin Highway is to be built, relying on slaves and prisoners of war alone, it takes too long, if the highway is built as soon as possible, there will be many benefits, it will be more convenient to travel from the south to the north, commerce and industry will flourish, even in wartime, troops can be transferred quickly, and if the businessmen contract the road, they can also add many jobs for Daqin, and the people of Daqin are only busy for that period of time, and most of the rest of the time is free." , it is better to work, and you can earn some money to subsidize the family. ”。
As soon as Qin Yu's words landed, most of the officials were stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and immediately reacted, such benefits are a lot, and one by one they will ignore the meaning of opposition.
At this time, Qin Yu smiled, and then said, "In this way, half of the highways in Daqin will be temporarily divided into merchants to do, however, we must warn these merchants that the quality of the highways must be guaranteed, and the wages of the people engaged in the construction of the highways must also be guaranteed, and not a single penny can be bad, otherwise the family will be directly raided and the clan will not be wiped out, but the family is certain, no matter what family is behind him, without exception." ”。
Kong Yingda came out of the queue at this time, bowed to Qin Yu and said, "Your Majesty, in this way, the cost is greater, the Great Qin population plan, the water power plan, the breeding plan, and now the highway will be added, can the commercial tax mentioned by Your Majesty start to be implemented?" ”。
Qin Yu smiled slightly, then nodded, and then spoke, "Naturally, I have also greeted the merchants in Great Qin before, and the commercial tax will definitely be levied, and it will not squeeze them, so I propose a commercial tax plan, you Aiqing listen to it, but if there are any mistakes or omissions, it is better to discuss it and make the best plan." ”。
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hundreds of officials, bowed down in unison, Qin Yu thought about the modern tax plan, combined with the current situation of Daqin, and then said a stepwise tax rules, after speaking, the hundred officials expressed their opinions, and finally Qin Yu formulated the tax rules and changed them, and finally formed a tax system that conformed to the current situation of Daqin.
