"Digging wells? And it's a deep well...... Is this necessary? Lu Su frowned and looked at Bai Tu's plan.

That's right, in addition to the strategic material reserves, another task of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the short term is to train the grassroots officials to use new well-digging tools, and then organize the people of Danyang and Wu County to serve additional conscription - digging wells!

As an additional conscription, the salary that needed to be paid, Bai Tu was ready to replace it with "relief food".

The so-called relief grain is a kind of grain mixed with bran, bran, wild vegetables, and a small amount of eggs...... In the coastal area, dried fish is mixed in, and it tastes like chewing sand, and the taste is not very good.

At the same time, the taste of the food will deteriorate further after the treatment of the castle hime, but the shape is suitable for storage and transportation.

It looks like a brick, and it tastes more like a brick, and it doesn't taste good, but it's full and doesn't hurt the body.

Two stones of grain, plus those messy things, can be "exchanged" for three stones of relief grain!

In addition, there are "growth grains" with a higher nutritional content and a smaller ratio of bran to wheat bran, which can be supplied to children and soldiers who need to train and fight.

As for the complete absence of wheat bran and bran, and the high proportion of meat and eggs, it is prepared for a small number of elite soldiers who need high-intensity training - this is the product of Baitu balancing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats from a nutritional point of view.

"This 'relief grain' is not bad, it can not only raise the grain tax in disguise, but also reduce some public grievances, plus the merits and fame of the lord's public 'Bai Gong Plough' and 'Bai Gong Huan' after the lord, it should still be popular in Jiangdong." Lu Su said.

As for the relief grain policy, Lu Su is very supportive.

The people of the Three Kingdoms era paid extremely heavy taxes, the Han Dynasty was usually ten taxes one, that is, one-tenth of the grain to be paid, when the rule of Wenjing, advocating the rule of inaction, to hide the wealth of the people, the tax was as low as 30 taxes one, and so on to the real Three Kingdoms period, in the Wei State with the official cattle, the official six people four, without the official cattle five or five points.

Although Shu Han had Shu brocade, Yunnan horses, and gold and silver produced in Nanzhong, in order to maintain a large proportion of the army, the tax revenue has been nearly half......

It can be said that during this period, the wealthy families successively transitioned to the gate valve, but the people were very miserable.

Even now, the princes of all sides have generally raised the poll tax by a large margin, and the field tax has also reached five taxes and one tax, three taxes and one to balance the huge military expenditures.

In contrast, the original garrison in Jiangdong now has a total of more than 50,000 people, and the recruits recruited by Bai Tu in the four counties will not exceed 30,000 in the plan, which is not much compared to Jiangdong with a population of 3 million.

It's just that because he foresaw the start of the drought next winter, Bai Tu had to start preparing food, so he had no choice but to choose five taxes and one tax.

At this time, even in Jiangdong, where rice and wheat are rotated and cropped twice a year, the average yield per mu is only one stone.

Taking a 100-mu field as an example, Bai Tu had to collect 20 stone of grain, and he also had to forcibly exchange 60 stone of relief grain for 60 stone of ordinary rice grain in a "mad heart".

It is equivalent to 100 stone of grain per 100 acres of land, and Baitu will levy 80 stones, and after it becomes 120 stone relief grain, it will be returned to 60 stones!

In addition, there is another benefit, that is, ordinary rice grain, which cannot be restricted from buying and selling across the board, but the relief grain produced by Chengji can.

At that time, Bai Tu issued an order that those who buy and sell relief grain without permission should be punished for smuggling salt and iron, so that a large number of people can be put an end to reselling on the surface, and some people will be prevented from stockpiling grain in disaster years.

"It's just that this is the case for a long time, whether it is the heart of the army and the people, I am afraid that it will be riot and unrestful, it is better to pay three taxes out of ten, two taxes for five, or increase the calculation of taxes." Lu Su suggested.

The so-called "calculation of endowment" is actually a poll tax, whether it is a farmer, a merchant or a handicraft, all pay a tax, and the general peasant household is to use silk and linen, meat and eggs to calculate the endowment.

"Of course, it's not a long-term solution, it's just ...... I have a hunch that there will be a big drought in Huainan next winter, and the year after next will be a good time to subdue Huainan, but a large amount of relief food is needed, and the drought may affect Jiangdong, so we must also be prepared. Bai Tu said.

When Lu Su heard this, he became a little serious, and said solemnly: "The lord can't mess with the administrative order!" As he spoke, he glanced at Tai Shici, as if he wanted to ask something.

Seeing this, Bai Tu understood that Lu Su thought that he had been fooled by a fortune teller, and he also wanted Tai Shici to reveal one or two.

"It's not a prophecy, it's me...... It's me who dreams of God! Bai Tu said stubbornly.

"I think about it every day, I have a dream at night, and the lord has a headache about Huainan Yuan Shu, so I have this dream, right?" Lu Su retorted.

In Lu Su's view, it is not impossible for "gods and men to dream", but it should be a means and an excuse, not a source of power!

Bai Tu knew that he couldn't explain it, so he had to say: "Since we have this dream, why can't we be more vigilant?" ”

When Lu Su heard this, he said helplessly: "But Su can guarantee that there will be no major disasters in Huainan in recent years." ”

"How can you guarantee it?" When Bai Tu heard this, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Actually...... Su has studied Feng Shui a lot, and he can observe the world's qi ......"

Hearing Lu Su's words, Bai Tu stared at him with an MMP look on his face - who just said that the "matter of Wei Wei" is not credible?

Co-authoring only my "God Man Dreaming" is the category of prophecy, and your "Feng Shui and Earth Qi" is very scientific?

Lu Su saw Bai Tu's eyes, and said with some excitement: "My method of observing feng shui and observing the qi of the earth is recorded in the Book of Heaven!" ”

"Oh, how much is a book from heaven?" Bai Tu was already convinced in his heart that Lu Su was fooled and lame.

"Priceless...... Wait a minute! Lord, I'm not deceived, it's a real book from heaven! One of the ten volumes of Heavenly Books......" Lu Su hurriedly said.

"Ten volumes? One? When the man comes to sell you the other nine, you will let me know. Bai Tu looked like he wanted justice for Lu Su.

Lu Su was crazy, and laboriously explained to Bai Tu that the Book of Heaven does not cost money, nor is it sold by beggars on the street who will be surprised by their bones, but a gift from heaven......

Originally, Lu Su also thought that Bai Tu might also have a certain book of heaven, but now it seems that this is not the case.

And Bai Tu is still skeptical, after all, it is often seen that scammers play smart people.

But at this time, Tai Shi Ci interjected: "Lord, the legend of the ten volumes of the Book of Heaven, Ci has also heard of it......"

Bai Tu believed that seven or eight points, even Chengji is available in this world, and in comparison, the Book of Heaven is nothing unusual.

It's just that Bai Tu is very skeptical now, whether Lu Su's book of heaven is a parallel import, or whether he has not mastered his art - in the current world, compared with the trend of major events in Bai Tu's understanding, there should be no mistakes in the drought next winter, why did Lu Su "look at the earth" and come to the opposite conclusion?

On the other hand, what Lu Su said later made Bai Tu believe some claims about the "Book of Heaven......
