The Imperial Hospital envoy looked at such a little bit of white powder, and asked with a puzzled face, "Dare to ask Mr. Pony, what is this?" ”

"Hehe, antipyretic, analgesic, as for what... You can give it a name, call it white powder. "Hehe, this is not the white powder that modern society says, what this thing is Ma Hanshan is not easy to define, he just follows the method in his memory, using alcohol to extract Dongdong on the branches and leaves of poplars and willows, anyway, this thing himself thinks it is salicylic acid, anyway, after several tests, it can reduce fever and relieve pain.

If this thing is really salicylic acid, find a way to dry up the acetic acid, and you can synthesize the modern miracle drug aspirin. This thing, in the time and space of Mahanshan's previous life, there was a time when it was sold more expensive than gold, and it often had to be exchanged for human life.

Ma Hanshan had never experienced it during that period, it was all experienced by his parents and grandparents, but he had read historical materials, in the previous life, during the so-called World War II, the Japanese invaded frantically and blockade with all their might, making it impossible for the anti-Japanese people to obtain this life-saving pill.

If this kind of magic medicine is made at this time in time and space, the number of people who die due to the war will definitely be reduced.

"How little is this?" The hospital envoy said again.

Ma Hanshan is a little annoyed, your uncle, you can do whatever you want, why is there so much nonsense? I don't have time to teach you.

He said angrily: "Just do as you are told." ”

Everyone was speechless, this kid was really arrogant, but the emperor seemed to be very tolerant of him.

What the emperor said, even if others are dissatisfied, it is difficult to say anything. So everyone shut up, Ma Hanshan explained some more things, and was about to leave the palace.

Hehe, of course he wouldn't leave so soon, pretending like this, just to get rid of these stupid imperial doctors and eunuchs, and then talk to Long Guangning alone, he has too much to say, this is a great opportunity.

Long Guangning didn't react, but Li Dangchen understood what this brother meant, and hurriedly echoed it, suggesting that Long Guangning find a place to talk.

There are also many quiet rooms in the Tai Hospital, Long Guangning asked for a quiet room on the grounds of understanding the injuries of the third prince, and two guards and two little eunuchs were placed outside the door to watch the door, and then entered the quiet room with Ma Hanshan Li Dangchen to chat secretly.

What to talk about? Of course, it's about the recent rectification of officials, of course, Ma Hanshan is too lazy to participate in the details and process, what he wants to talk about is a structural thing, how to do it, when to do it, who can do it, and so on.

However, there are also details to be said, such as the matter of Shi Liyuan's secret meeting.

"I really can't imagine that Shi Xiang actually had a secret meeting with Ma Qing, does he want to win over Aiqing or ......." Long Guangning finally said.

Ma Hanshan took a puff of cigarette and said, "Hehe, why did he win me over? Is it powerful? Does he have the power of the emperor? Money? Does he have any money for me? ”

It's not bragging, when it comes to silver, who has Mahanshan to earn? If he hadn't been crazy about construction, he could really be said to be rich enough to rival the country, since he came to this world, he had earned tens of millions of taels of silver, Hu Ting's total annual income was only twenty or thirty million taels, and Da Song's total annual income was only fifty million taels. Moreover, many of these tens of millions of taels do not have real money, they are just accounts. And what Mahanshan got in hand was real money.

Long Guangning laughed and said: "Haha, Ma Qing, so to speak, this time the rectification of the government can get twice the result with half the effort?" ”

With Shi Liyuan's strength, there will be basically no problem in this matter, after all, most of the people who want to rectify the Shi Party, since Shi Liyuan is in line, he gives an order, and the court can save effort.

Ma Hanshan nodded and said, "To be honest, I thought I needed to fight, but I didn't expect Shi Liyuan, the old turtle, to be so eye-catching and come by himself." ”

"Mr. Pony, what do you mean to be eye-catching?" Li Dangchen interjected.

Ma Hanshan scratched his head and said, "Hehe, don't pay too much attention to these details... What, the emperor, the government is rectified, and some places should be able to see the benefits immediately. But this is only the first step of a rich country, there is still a long way to go to become truly rich, for example, the distribution of land, the distribution of taxes, to make the people always loyal to the court, the court has to think about them, at the very least, let them fill their stomachs. ”

When it comes to land distribution and tax distribution, Long Guangning's face is ugly, this is a headache for all dynasties, every dynasty has someone to change these two, but every time it seems to have failed. Although there is progress compared to the past, these advances have been made with each change of dynasty, and except for the change of weights and measures of the first emperor, it seems that no dynasty has succeeded in the change.

Da Song Dynasty has also tried to change, predecessors Fan Gong, Wang Xiang and others have implemented reforms, but they have all failed, and the interests of others have been moved, and there will definitely be people who resist it.

Now Ma Hanshan has said that land distribution and tax distribution are the foundation of a rich country, which is fatal.

Long Guangning looked at Ma Hanshan and said, "Ma Qing, is there a gradual way?" Land and taxes are too sensitive. ”

Of course, Ma Hanshan knows that this is the most sensitive issue, but this is also a fundamental problem, if it is not changed, it is impossible to really make the country rich, and how can the country be strong if it is not rich? How can a country that is weak and poor recover its former rivers and mountains?

"Your Majesty, of course, you can take it step by step, for example, in terms of soil, you can not change your holdings for the time being, but you can ask the landlord to reduce the rent, I heard that in some places, the land rent is actually 28 open, and the grain that has been cultivated hard is sold to the landlord, can the tenants be full? Therefore, many people would rather be displaced people than farm, which will not only cause a decrease in total grain production, but also form a situation for displaced people and the fields will be wasted. Therefore, the imperial court can impose a hard and fast rent on the field. In addition, the local state capital was ordered to create as much land as it did each year, and of course, this land was not created by the powerful and rich landlords, but by those who had no land, and who made and planted it. ”

"In addition, it is impossible to change taxes all at once, but we can 'rob the rich and help the poor', and think of a way to get the local rich gentry and landlords to donate ....... Well, these things, the emperor will discuss more with those reformers. However, I have another way here, which is to let a certain amount of land grow more food. "Mahanshan had planned to launch the new seeds and fertilizer mixture this spring, but the preparation was insufficient, so it was postponed until the fall.

It is difficult to stipulate the rent of the field, what to raise donations, so Long Guangning is a little afraid, and when he heard Ma Hanshan say that he can make more grain grow in the same number of fields, he was immediately excited, this is the best solution.

Ma Hanshan postponed the introduction of new seeds and fertilizer mixtures until the autumn because he wanted to force tenant farmers to lower their rents.

"Ma Qing, come on, do you have any way to make the field grow more grain." Long Guangning asked excitedly.

Ma Hanshan took out a pile of materials and handed them to Long Guangning and said: "This is a piece of information, the use of new seeds and mixed fertilizer for cultivation, after two years of experiments, the data shows that the use of new seeds and mixed fertilizer combined with scientific cultivation, rice, wheat and other staple grains, per mu can increase the yield of one to two stones." ”

In this era, the yield of rice per mu is only four or five stones in good fields, and if the scientific farming method can increase the yield by one or two stones with new seeds and mixed fertilizers, this is absolutely amazing.

Long Guangning disregarded his manners, grabbed Ma Hanshan's arm and said excitedly: "What you said is true? You're not kidding me, are you? ”

"Your Majesty, let go, let go, don't be excited, of course it's true, how dare the grass people tease the emperor." Ma Hanshan pointed to the pile of information and said, "The disciples of the grass people have done two years of experiments, adding new seeds and mixed fertilizer, and then using scientific farming methods, the yield per mu will increase by about three stones compared with the old seeds and old methods, and the net yield will increase by more than one to two stones after deducting the cost of seeds and mixed fertilizers." ”

"Okay, great, right now... Immediately implement new species and new methods... This one... This is much easier to do than ...... rent reduction. Long Guangning was overjoyed.

Ma Hanshan smiled and said: "Hehe, a lot of new seeds and mixed fertilizers have been prepared, but it is not possible to implement them nationwide, and if you want to implement them nationwide, you have to build mixed fertilizer production workshops in various places, and the current production capacity can probably meet the needs of dozens of state capitals near Lin'an." In the next thought, these places can just implement rent reduction regulations, and bundle the new seed mixed fertilizer and rent reduction methods ....... ”

Long Guangning was dumbfounded again, he really couldn't understand how this seed and this mixed fertilizer were related to rent reduction? Do these things have anything to do with rent reduction?

He was very confused and said, "This... Does this make sense? By the way, what is this mixed fertilizer? ”

"Of course it's okay, Your Majesty, I've written the method here, and I only need the emperor to announce the world." Ma Hanshan took out a book of folds and handed it to Long Guangning.

How could there be such a good thing? Long Guangning was very happy to take the excerpt.

"Haha, good, good, it's really good, Ma Qing, only Qing can think of this method, haha, don't reduce the rent and don't sell new seeds and mixed fertilizer, it's really good, this time, whoever wants to plant new seeds, who wants to use mixed fertilizer, has to reduce the rent... Wait, will they plant new varieties and use mixed fertilizers? If they don't, won't they be doing their work in vain? Long Guangning was puzzled again.

Ma Hanshan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, no matter who is profit-seeking, landlords or businessmen, the first thing they value is profit. Planting new seeds, using mixed fertilizer, scientific farming methods, and the combination of the three to increase yields, even if the rent is reduced, it is still more than the original harvest, how can they not be willing? This is a matter for both the tenant and the landlord to profit. The emperor looked at the last data, the tenants overcharged, and even if the landlords reduced the rent, the total harvest was still higher than in previous years. ”

Long Guangning looked through the folds and said, "Really? If that's the case, it would be great, and they would definitely agree to a rent reduction... Li Qing, start driving... By the way, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry ....... ”
