After a moment of silence, Cheng Yin could only throw down a sentence without pain: "How much silver is needed is a matter for the household, and the old man only needs to propose a governance plan." ”

Qin Feng snorted coldly in his heart, this kind of goods that can only talk on paper have seen a lot before.

For a person like Qin Feng, who ran the market all day long in his previous life and was an absolute actioner, he is not qualified to be called an opponent at all.

Qin Feng faced Emperor Liang, raised his hands high, and said without humility or arrogance: "There is no need to trouble the adults of the household department. There are more than 137,000 sugare farmers in Northwest China, and the sugarcane fields are scattered and scattered, totaling more than 2 million mu. If you want to relocate sugarcane farmers, you can only move from the northwest to Jingyun Road, and only Jingyundao has suitable and idle fields for reclamation.

"Traveling thousands of miles away is equivalent to transporting grain and grass from the granary in the south to the northwest border. If you transport grain and grass for the 130,000 border troops, how much is lost on the road, you don't need to say it to the younger generations, and you adults also know it.

"Even if all the conditions tend to be perfect, only the loss of money, the younger generation will give Mr. a small account.

"137,000 men crossing thousands of miles, even at half the speed of the march, this is still a whole month. The monthly ration of the border army was three stones and three buckets, and each bucket of miscellaneous grain was five cents, and the loss of this grain alone cost 22,605 taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Liang's eyes were already extremely bright, I didn't expect that a mere boy with fine clothes and food could understand the affairs of people's livelihood so delicately, I am afraid that even the vast majority of household officials are not as good as Qin Feng!

Qin Tianhu was also greatly surprised, and secretly sighed: "This stinky boy, when did you go to the sugarcane sugar producing area to investigate?

White sugar is one of the core industries of Qin Feng at present, and the life and death of sugar cane farmers are equivalent to the life and death of Qin Feng.

Cheng Yin heard Qin Feng's account so clearly, his old face was already extremely stiff, but his tone pretended to be relaxed: "It's just 20,000 taels of silver, if you can solve the problem of food and clothing for 170,000 cane farmers, why worry about it?"

Qin Feng greeted Cheng Yin's ancestors and ancestors in his heart, and scolded the literati for misleading the country, but his face was full of respect: "Sir, don't worry.

"Jingyun Road is one of the main producers of millet rice, and although there are some idle fields, they are all reserve fields reserved for local farmers. After all, millet is one of the five grains and the lifeblood of the world.

"If you want to reclaim sugarcane fields, it's not impossible, naturally you have to buy fields at market prices, and the annual rent of one mu of land is 800 wen...... Oh, sir, don't you know? Let the juniors tell you. ”

Qin Feng ignored Cheng Yin, who had an ugly face, and said a number with a smile: "One million and six hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

"This ......"

Cheng Yin was taken aback when he heard this figure, after all, this money is not trivial for the treasury.

The Confucian scholars who flocked to Cheng Yin's side couldn't stay anymore and defended one after another.

"Since it is a reserve field, the rent of this field can be cashed out after the harvest. ”

"That's it, they're all their own people, why bother to be so clear?"

Qin Feng was still smiling, showing great respect for Confucianism, but he scolded the street in his heart, you know a chicken!

However, since they raised the question, Qin Feng had to solve it, otherwise the debate would be meaningless, and he immediately said: "If the debt contract is signed, who will sign it? Sugar cane farmers? They have lived in the ancestral land of the northwest for generations, and they have traveled thousands of miles to a foreign land, and they have a debt before they can stand firm on their heels.

The Confucian students were red-faced, but no one refuted them.
