Cao Bin is not surprised that this autumn rice yield can increase by 30%.

Although the imperial court has been promoting the two-crop rice for more than ten years, the cultivation technology is still very rudimentary, and experienced farmers also cherish their own brooms.

Cao Bin recruited old farmers to set up the Farmland Research Bureau, which is for this reason.

The increase in the output of 30% seems to be a lot, but it does not exceed the highest output of the three dynasties in the later generations.

However, this is almost the peak, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the short term, unless it is to make hybrid rice and achieve epoch-making improvement.

As for the multiplication of taxes, that is the credit of Fang La, there are no gentry and landlords to hide the acres of land and make a stalk from it, and one or two times the tax is said to be less.

At this time, Bao Zheng was also a little depressed, and he didn't know if the court would regret it.

Especially Kou Zhun, in order to fool Mu Guiying into going on the expedition, he suggested that the imperial court borrow grain from Liangzhejiang in exchange for autumn taxes.

If the envoys knew the truth, they would definitely hold him down.

However, this is also the operation of the imperial court itself, and Bao Zheng is not good at asking for anything from Cao Bin.

On the contrary, the imperial court eats grain, and collects taxes in advance, which is a bit hurtful to the people, if it weren't for Cao Bin borrowing money to raise food, I'm afraid that many people would be ruined.

Cao Bin naturally will not take care of the governor of Muzhou, although he is not short of money, but it is very useful to master the grain tax......

Subsequently, Cao Bin followed Bao Zheng to several villages and towns one after another, the situation was similar, and seeing that he was still full of interest, he was a little speechless:

"Master Bao, haven't you seen enough?"

Bao Zheng saw that he was full of disgust, and said helplessly:

"Bao just wants to see your Farmland Research Bureau, and I'll leave after reading it!"

A long time ago, he was a little unaccustomed to Cao Bin's lazy and hedonistic behavior, but now he has long been used to it, and he doesn't bother to care about him, but feels a little real.

Cao Bin smiled:

"Master Bao said it a long time ago, why bother sparing such a big circle?"

Although there is a potato planting base there, it will soon be promoted in Liangzhejiang, and Cao Bin does not mind exposing it.

At this moment, the village on the side of the road suddenly became lively, and the two groups of villagers fought in dust, chickens and dogs.

Bao Zheng hurriedly said:

"Zhan Guard, go and see what's going on?

Seeing that there was excitement to see, Cao Bin also became interested, and took the sedan chair and others to squeeze him directly behind everyone, and even the governor of Muzhou also rushed to the front, leaving him speechless for a while......

Xiashantang, a small village backed by the mountains.

Chen San was a disabled soldier who retired from the army, and because he lost an arm in the war, he returned to his hometown with a pension.

It's just that he didn't expect that his hometown would be difficult to live, and the small amount of bereavement money was quickly spent.

Just when they couldn't survive and wanted to make trouble with the local government, they were suppressed by Cao Bin.

Later, when the refugees who dredged the West Lake returned to their hometown, he was sent to this small village to do inspections.

Although he has no grade, he is in charge of the stability of the village and the training of strong men, and he is also a leader.

The salary was paid directly by the pacification envoy yamen, and it was also respected by the villagers.

is even marrying the widow of the king in the village, Meizizi.

He is very satisfied with his current life and is very grateful to Cao Houye.

It's just that some people don't want him to live in peace, and there are a few bullies who try to bully other people's land by relying on the fact that there are many people with the same surname in the village.

He even set up private courts, replaced national laws with clan rules, and arbitrarily decided on human life.

When he was training in Hangzhou, he knew that this was something that was expressly forbidden and that it was his duty.

Therefore, he fought with those people inextricably, and today a direct conflict broke out.

What made him feel angry was that he was fired by the other party because of his momentary softness, and several of his supporters were also beaten back.

Just as he was trying to find a way, a loud shout suddenly came:

"Stop, you people are lawless!"

In a daze, he saw a strange middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, who rushed in first.

It's just that before the man finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by Huang Cunba's stick, and blood flowed down immediately.

Cao Bin's side.

Seeing that Muzhou Zhizhou was holding his head and rushing back, the sedan chair couldn't help but take a sip and said:

"Yes, let you rob my young master of the position!"

When the people heard this, they were sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao hurriedly rushed into the crowd, and shot out again and again, and suddenly the sound of "oops" became one.

In a few moments, all the villagers involved in the brawl fell to the ground.

Although Cao Bin was a little disappointed, he also asked:

"Let's talk about it, if you don't collect grain, why are there fights in the village?"

Huang Cunba said angrily:

"Outsiders, I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, we have people in the county office, I advise you not to cause trouble for yourself!"

Everyone didn't expect that this person was so arrogant, he had already been killed, and his mouth was as hard as iron.

Just as the sedan chair was about to start, a man with a crippled hand bowed down with blood on his head and said:

"Master Cao...... The villain meets Cao Houye. ”

When Huang Cunba heard this, he was stunned, cold sweat had already come down, he didn't understand, how could such a big person come to such a small place like them.

But the matter has come to this point, and I can only listen to the report of the handicapped man according to the truth.

This matter is easy to solve, Cao Bin directly waved his hand and smiled:

"Liang Zhizhou, how about leaving this matter to you?"

Muzhou Zhizhou covered his forehead, gritted his teeth and looked at Huang Cun domineering:

"Don't worry, the lower officials will 'deal with it'."

This matter can only be regarded as an episode, but Bao Zheng became a little silent.

He didn't expect that Cao Bin would have such a big effect in order to solve the problem of the placement of wounded soldiers.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

With these retired soldiers rooted in the countryside, it will completely change the strength of the imperial court to control the world, and even curb the power of the clans in the countryside.

If this system is completely formed, whether it is taxation or military service, the power that the two Zhejiang provinces can exert will be beyond imagination.

This is both a good and a bad thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

It will allow Cao Bin to completely master the two Zhejiang ....... from top to bottom Thinking of this, he looked at Cao Bin's eyes full of hesitation.

He carefully reviewed Cao Bin's experience after entering the officialdom, and then breathed a sigh of relief, because there was really no sign that Cao Bin had a heart of disobedience.

Otherwise, he would not have put himself in danger for the sake of Pang Taishi.

"Forget it, the vassals of the frontier won't be in office for too long......"

Thinking of this, he completely relaxed.

At this moment, the governor of Muzhou suddenly shouted:

"What, fifteen stones per mu in one season?"

When Bao Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt refreshed, and hurriedly looked around, only to see a few farmers busy in a low green plant.

An old farmer is introducing the root diameter that has just been dug up, what is drought tolerant, adaptable, and high yield.

The sound just now was the exclamation of Muzhou after hearing about the production of this product.

Fifteen stones in a season, which is already three times that of rice, if it is popularized, the Great Song Dynasty will no longer have the trouble of food shortage.

After Bao Zheng confirmed the authenticity, he looked at Cao Bin's lazy expression, and felt extremely cute, this is the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only Cao Bin knows that even if there are potatoes, there will still be a shortage of food when it should be, and now it is just to increase the ability to resist disasters and alleviate hunger.

In later generations, there were more crops in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was still a famine?

After seeing Muzhou, Bao Zheng took Cao Bin to Mingzhou Port again, but Cao Bin was reluctant to walk with him, and only waited for him to ask questions in the Red Sleeves Square every day.

In the evening of this day, Cao Bin read Yanzi's secret letter and was about to think about it carefully, but he saw Yang Bajie suddenly break in, threw the Oiran beside him out, grabbed Cao Bin by the collar and said:

"Cao Bin, you say! Do you particularly hate me? ”

Cao Bin was a little confused and said:

"I like you a lot......"

Before he finished speaking, Eighth Sister Yang hugged him and said with a red face:

"You're responsible for me......."

Seeing this, Cao Bin immediately put "...... The words of your body were choked back......
