It's kind of strange to talk to the ancients about economics.

However, this is the effect that Yun Chu wants.

Seeing that mosquito coils began to appear in Liu Renliang's eyes, Yun Chu thought that his goal had been achieved.

In Datang, all knowledge that others can't understand is high-level knowledge, just like the doctrine spread by Xuanzang, few people can understand it, which does not prevent Datang people from flocking to this kind of learning.

At this moment, there is no market for Bai Juyi's kind of poems that even illiterate old women can understand, and when everyone composes poems, they are still mainly gorgeous, so it is not surprising that there are few poets who can be remembered in the Tang Dynasty at this time, except for Yunchu.

Yun Chu's purpose is to let Liu Renliang know that his Yun Chu's views on the economy have long been out of the clouds, and he, Liu Renliang, is still crawling on the ground like maggots.

However, Liu Renliang has a strange ability, that is, the ability to distinguish the authenticity of knowledge.

Although he understood every word of what Yun Chu said, he didn't understand it when it was connected, which didn't prevent him from thinking that it was a very good thing.

So, at first, he was a little frivolous, and as he didn't understand and couldn't understand more and more things, the more pious this guy became.

It can be seen that he is trying hard to memorize these strange theories that Yun Chu said, and is ready to learn them well.

The entry-level social economics that every street director must learn was extremely precious in the Tang Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of knowledge will only be passed down from family to family, and will never be made public.

The weather in Chang'an today was extremely cold, and the two of them were chattering around a brazier, and outside the door, snow began to fall again.

Today's snow appears to be very heavy, it is snow particles, although there are not many, but they are blown by the wind and accumulate under the threshold, and it does not take long for the accumulation to be very thick.

"Why don't you write a book and spread such good knowledge?"

After Yun Chu drank a bottle of water, the silent Liu Renliang asked in a low voice, it seems that Yun Chu's new knowledge still gave this stubborn little old man a big impact.

"You see, the essence of things is like this, after seeing the essence clearly, the rest is just variants, and everything remains the same.

I know you can't understand what I'm saying for the time being, but it's okay, you can slowly explore and confirm it in practical application.

The truth is not clear, but I still insist that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. ”

Liu Renliang looked up at Yun Chu and said, "So, Jinchangfang, Qujiangli, and Wannian County are all the results of your practice, right?"

Now, do you want to add Chang'an County? ”

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Chang'an is one, it's just because of my humble official position that this can only start from Wannian County, but once Wannian County develops, it will consciously or unconsciously suck the blood of the people of Chang'an County."

Moreover, this bloodsucking is not yet subject to human will. ”

Liu Renliang nodded and said: "The strong are always strong, and the weak are always weak, this is the truth of heaven and earth, what you said is very reasonable." ”

Yun Chu looked at Liu Ren's track: "When I first developed Jinchangfang, I wanted to spread the stall, hoping that Di Renjie could take the people of Chang'an County to do the same thing as Jinchangfang."

As a result, because there were too many constraints, Di Renjie failed.

Later, after Pei Xingjian took the throne, I hoped that Pei Xingjian could keep up with the pace of development of Wannian County, but as a result, Pei Xingjian was too arrogant and disdained to be subservient, so he also failed, and left a mess for the boss of Chang'an County. ”

Liu Renliang was silent for a moment and said: "Xiao Gui and Cao Sui have not left a bad reputation, what is Liu Renliang's reputation?"

If Yunxian Cheng can let the people of Chang'an County live a prosperous life like the people of Jinchangfang, Liu Renliang will be willing to be spurned by tens of thousands of people.

Therefore, Yunxian Cheng's visit this time will be beneficial to Chang'an County? ”

Yun Chu took out a handful of cotton seeds from his arms and put them on the low table.

Liu Renliang was obviously a farmer, and after looking at the cottonseeds for a while, he said, "What is this?" ”

Yun Chu said: "Bai Diezi." ”

"Cotton? Oh, I heard that this name was given by Yunxian County. ”

Yun Chu left the official house, took his heating equipment from the horse bag behind the jujube red horse, put it in front of Liu Renliang and said, "County Zun, take a look first." ”

Liu Renliang opened the bag and spread out Yun Chu's ** hat, cotton gloves, cotton socks, cotton knee pads, cotton shoes, cotton clothes, cotton pants, and green military coat one by one.

Then he took off his clothes, and after only his underwear was left, he began to wear these things.

After the little old man put on this set of equipment, a *** in Yunchu's impression appeared.

After Liu Renliang put on the equipment, he sat opposite Yun Chu like a bear again and said, "Good things, warm, strong, but this white stack is worth a lot." ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "This is going back to the term productivity, dare to ask the county respect, how much grain can be produced per mu of high-quality fields in Chang'an County?" ”

Liu Renliang frowned and said: "In summer and autumn, four quintals of grain, it is impossible to exceed five quintals at most." ”

Yun Chu asked again: "What is the value?" ”

Liu Renliang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he sighed and said, "Seven hundred wen." ”

Before he finished speaking, he waved his cotton gloved hand and said, "Okay, five hundred wen." ”

Yun Chu pointed to the equipment on Liu Renliang's body and said: "The county lord is also a subordinate of the sect, and he is not ignorant of military affairs.

If such a set of clothes is equipped for the army of the expedition to Goguryeo, how much money is the county lord willing to spend to equip the army? ”

Liu Renliang took off the ** hat that made him feel stuffy, stood up and jumped a few times on the spot, did a few more squats, moved his limbs, and finally looked at Yun Chu and said, "Consistent five...... It's not that the money is non-negotiable. ”

Yun Chu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, based on the consistent calculation of five, does the county know how many sets of this equipment can be produced in one acre of land?" ”

Liu Renliang didn't embarrass Yun Chu this time, and arched his hand: "I was about to ask Yun Xiancheng." ”

Yun Chu pointed to this set of equipment on his body and said: "These clothes all weigh twelve catties, and one acre of land can produce more than ten sets of such equipment." ”

Liu Renliang heard Yun Chu say this, even if his mentality was good, he was stunned, stared at Yun Chu and said, "Ten sets? ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "If the land on which cotton is planted is irrigated, then it is still possible to produce fifteen sets per mu." ”

Liu Renliang carefully took off these equipment, looked at them carefully, and kept tearing them, looking at the stitches, figuring out the thickness, and finally carefully tidied up this set of equipment, put it on the low table and sighed: "Twenty times the benefit of growing grain, even if you remove the labor cost of garment-making, ten times the advantage of holding the handle." ”

Yun Chu said with a smile: "A certain family came to find the county honor this time, just for cotton. ”

Liu Ren tracked: "Although this thing is good, if you give up growing food, once you encounter a disaster, the people of Chang'an County will only starve to death." ”

Yun Chu said: "The grain output of Wannian County can only supply the rations of the people of Wannian County for one month, I wonder if Chang'an County is better than Wannian County?" ”

Liu Renliang sighed and said: "In January and six days, the food needed still needs to be transported in from outside, which is amazing. ”

Yun Chu said again: "Don't sell wood for a hundred miles, don't sell for thousands of miles, this is the truth since ancient times, and now Chang'an needs rice and grain, not to mention thousands of miles, which in itself is a violation of common sense."

A certain family asked the transfer department, every time a pound of rice grain is delivered to Chang'an, a pound will be consumed on the road, and then counting the cost of labor, shipping, and so on, basically every time a pound of rice grain is delivered to Chang'an, it will cost three pounds of rice grain.

However, Chang'an's demand for grain and rice from other places is staggering, so in this way, transporting grain and rice to Chang'an has become a chore for the local government, and it has become a burden attached to the people.

Now with cotton, we can change that. ”

When Liu Renliang heard Yun Chu say this, his eyes immediately lit up and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Yun Chu smiled slightly, pressed his hand on the equipment on the low table, and used the tenfold profit of cotton to reduce the burden of transporting grain by three times. ”

Liu Renliang's eyes flashed green again, and he pressed Yun Chu's hand and said, "What does the county mean is that cotton growers are allowed to make seven times the profit, and three times the profit is used to make up for the loss caused by grain transportation?" ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "That's not how it is calculated, there is more grain and less cotton, so at least seven times the interest of cotton planting must be taken out to compensate for the transportation of grain, and the cotton planter will take twice the profit, the government will take one double, and the craftsman will take two times the profit of the production bonus in addition to the ten times the profit, and the government will take another double the profit."

In this way, it can be considered a good deal. ”

Liu Renliang did not appear the joy that Yun Chu expected, but ushered in Liu Renliang's extremely serious face.

"The stakes are too great to be taken lightly."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "I think so too, so this year, in the 10,000 years, a total of 10,000 acres of cotton will be planted in the two counties of Chang'an, and now, the seeds have been obtained through Hu Shang and the cotton fields of Shanglinyuan."

I also got a doctor of agronomy who specializes in cotton cultivation from Sinong Temple.

Just wait for the county to say a word, we will start planting cotton in the spring of next year, and if things can be done, the year after tomorrow, we will plant cotton on a large scale, and the two counties will give up growing grain.

Go all out to take cotton as the main planting crop in Chang'an, Wannian and the two counties, and let the people of these two counties taste some benefits.

10,000 acres of land, more than 100,000 sets of equipment to survive, and there are no less than 300,000 soldiers in the 16 guards alone.

The little cotton produced was not enough for them. ”

Liu Renliang let out a sigh of relief and said: "This is very good, Wannian County plants 5,000 acres, and Chang'an County plants 5,000 acres." ”

Hearing that Liu Renliang finally agreed, Yun Chu laughed and left Liu Renliang's official office.

And that set of equipment was left on the low table, Liu Renliang wanted to call Yun Chu to take the equipment, but in the end, he put down his hand and accepted the gift.

When Yun Chu came out of the Chang'an County Ya, he looked back at this place, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is said that Liu Renliang is as honest as water, and today, didn't he accept Lao Tzu's gift?" ”
