Chapter 551: The Art of New Tuntian
The weather in the palace is always bad and not hot, and now Meng Li is lazily paralyzed on his throne, waiting for the arrival of the jujube.
If the Han Dynasty, which has prepared military horses and equipment, is ready for everything, then the continuous supply of grain and grass is the east wind that the Han army needs very much, and the person who can provide this east wind to the Han army now seems to be the only one who is Zaoji~!
The method of tuntian has already been implemented once in the Han Kingdom, and with that implementation, the average grain and grass output in the country has increased by at least 30%~!
Don't underestimate this is only thirty percent, because this can at least feed millions more people, and if it is used for military supplies, then it can also provide rations for at least 300,000 troops, which is why the Han Kingdom was able to take the former Qin and Yang
Pingguan and the Great Qin Empire had the confidence to have a great war.
However, after that continuous war, all the reserves of the Han Dynasty were exhausted, and the training of the 300,000 new army in the following year was barely supplied with another year's grain and grass
It is enough to raise an additional 50,000 troops outside the capital, if it were not, then the military horses of the Han Dynasty would have gone on strike long ago because they could not eat enough.
Where will there be such a hot scene as when Meng Li went out to inspect that time~!
However, the training is barely enough, but the expedition of the army still needs more grain and grass, which requires the Han Kingdom to find ways to take out these grain and grass from all over the country, and if there is no way, then slow down. After three years, Dahan will naturally be able to take one by one
The point deducted the grain and grass used in the army's attack, of course. If Zaoji can offer a good method of tuntian, then it will only take another year to wait. Waiting for next year's autumn harvest, the next spring will start to attack, and carry out the era of his prosperous Han Dynasty~!
Everything depends on the head of this jujube man, whether he can improve his Tuntian method and bring a greater harvest to the Han in the coming year, so that he can immediately send troops into Sichuan in the year after tomorrow~!
"Participate in Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live~!"
is between Meng Li's thoughts. The central figure he was considering, Zaoji, had already arrived in the main hall and bowed to Meng Li to say hello.
"Zaoji, I heard that you have recently researched a new method of tuntian, and the effect is quite fruitful, tell me to take a look~!"
Meng Li, who was anxious to know the effect of Zaoji's new Tuntian method, didn't have the opening remarks and twists and turns at the beginning, and as soon as he opened his mouth to get straight to the center, he asked about the effect of Zaoji's new Tuntian method.
"Your Majesty, Weichen found that although the previous cultivators. Lian farming has allowed our people to exert their own enthusiasm and effectively mobilize the labor of our Han tenants, poor peasants and other strata, but the disadvantages are also very significant. Be a pauper or tenant
When the harvest is too abundant, they will not put all their energy on arable land if they want to obtain greater wealth, so these two methods of our Dahan can only make the yield soar for a while. Follow-up growth is not talked about; And without one
A good cycle, then Dahan's production growth will be fixed five years ago. Therefore, although the imperial court of the Han Dynasty has been using updated agricultural tools in recent years, the method of releasing the weather season to help farmers increase their yields. But the growth is still close to nothing. If
Compared to the time five years ago, it can even be said that our output is lagging behind, if it were not for the support of various policies of the imperial court, I am afraid that the output would have declined with the slow disappearance of the poor and tenant class~! ”
There is no specific saying about the effectiveness of the new Tuntian method this time, but Zaoji first talked about the disadvantages of the old Tuntian method.
That is, the state leases the land to the poor peasants and tenants, and then sets a 'wage' to maintain their food and clothing, and collects all the surplus grain and fills the state treasury.
However, the people are not stupid, they don't know how much grain they can produce in the first year, they work hard, in order to eat and drink enough, and nothing else, naturally don't have to think about it~!
But with the bumper harvest year after year, they gradually understand what kind of production capacity of their own tuntian method is in what range, if they steal some laziness and do something else, whether they can still maintain their food and clothing, if they can, then naturally these levels
The enthusiasm of the people at all levels of work has come down, which is why the law of tuntian has been implemented for a long time, and various policies of the state are tilting towards the peasants, but the output has not yet increased.
"This method ,......"
Meng Li, who knew the specific reason, had a general idea in his mind.
After all, he has experienced various situations in later generations, and his knowledge of what he has read in books is far beyond that of these ancients, but he can't figure out some specific matters in detail and implement them well~!
In addition, he didn't have the time to pay attention to the following questions about why the output did not increase, so this problem was delayed again and again, and now it has made him feel that it is urgent.
In fact, the matter is very simple, Meng Li can come up with a solution to this problem just by thinking about it with his thumb, which is nothing more than contracting the land to these strata of people, and then the state sets a reasonable tax~!
It's just that where this reasonable data value is, then these officials below need to think carefully.
"Therefore, Weichen will try to imagine, if this can't stimulate the enthusiasm of these strata of people, then let's think differently, they farm, we stipulate a reasonable tax, presumably if this tax is appropriate, then not to mention those people will be all
The energy of the ministry is focused on farming, and at least half of it will be carefully cultivated with heart~! ”
What made Meng Li feel a little sideways was that this jujube actually said everything he thought of.
"Who dares to say that the ancients had a narrow mind because of their lack of knowledge, and I had to flatten him to death when I saw it~!"
Meng Li, who complained in his heart, nodded slightly to Zaoji and said, "Since this is the case, how much is this amount set for?" What is the approximate standard of living of the common people of our Han Dynasty today? ”
"Your Majesty,......"
After carefully listing all kinds of data, Zao Ji looked at Meng Li, waiting for his consent, after all, he really spent a lot of effort for this new Tuntian method~
"Good~!"
With a wave of his hand, Meng Li decided the national policy for the coming year~! (To be continued......)
