Chapter 406: The Idea of Open Commerce
Fields and crops are the guarantee of farmers' survival.
The court suddenly allocates a new crop, and they don't know the yield, and they don't know whether they can eat it, and if they change to these new crops, and the final harvest is not good, then won't they starve the following year?
I'm afraid that not too many people will accept it.
Even if it is divided, no one dares to plant rashly.
Yang Zhao felt that it made sense, and said: "Let the farmers who have been allocated take out a piece of land to plant, and if the harvest is not good, they will be exempted from tax for two years, and as for the Hetao, how about large-scale planting as usual?" ”
For the time being, there are no inhabitants in the Hetao, and the planting is made by soldiers, and there will be no opposition or resistance.
"Feasible!"
Xun You nodded.
The other counselors thought it was feasible.
If this plan continues, the mass cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes can indeed change the Han.
"The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants!"
Yang Zhao thought for a while and said: "If the quantity of grain is too large, the people can't eat it all, they can't sell it, and the people's income is almost non-existent. ”
What industrial structure, for them, do not understand very well, this word is also very unfamiliar.
"The lord is talking about the development of business?"
Jia Xu asked curiously.
Yang Zhao nodded and said: "This is just one of the adjustments, we can solve the problem of eating next, and what we need to solve further is the problem of the people's prosperity, which is also very important, right?" ”
They agreed.
Only when the people become prosperous can they promote the prosperity and development of society.
Otherwise, a large amount of grain will come out, and the people will be planting, and they will not be able to eat it all, and there may be a bumper harvest in the first few years, but in a few years, it will lead to problems such as land abandonment.
After all, every family has endless food, what else do they grow it for?
As long as those farmers plant for one season, they can basically wait at home to eat, and they may be lazy even in farming, and the land will no longer be valuable.
The increase in grain production is a good thing, but it can also cause a series of problems, which may not be good in the early stage, but if the follow-up development continues, the accumulation will be more, and the problem will become more and more serious.
It has to be adjusted.
"My first step is to open up business!"
"The policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has existed since ancient times, because merchants do not produce, if they all go to business, there will be no one to farm, and merchants go south and north, and it is not easy to manage."
"First of all, there is enough food, so that a small number of people can cultivate and feed the majority of people."
"As for businessmen who are difficult to manage, we can set up a ministry of commerce to strictly restrict the behavior of businessmen."
"While opening up commerce, it is necessary to prevent capital accumulation and the formation of a monopoly situation......
Yang Zhao completely said what he thought in his heart, as well as the ways of waging economic warfare against the Xianbei people and using sheep to weaken the strength of the Xianbei people.
What kind of capital, monopoly and other things, they don't understand.
However, the economic war against the Xianbei people can be heard in front of their eyes.
If this method can be implemented, Xianbei will be like a little sheep, at their mercy.
"The economic war of the lord is infinitely wonderful!"
Guo Jia said in admiration.
Xun Chen thought for a while and said, "We never thought that business could also be used in war. ”
Economic warfare is a battlefield without gunpowder.
If you can play well, the impact will be even more ruthless than that of actually going on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and economic regression is a terrible thing.
"But open business, really no problem?"
Mao Jue asked worriedly.
These families still attach great importance to the importance of agriculture and the suppression of business.
When commerce is opened, isn't it to improve the status of merchants, most of whom are treacherous, they have status, they have enough money, and they can do many unthinkable things.
"I understand Mao Gong's concerns."
Yang Zhao explained: "The Ministry of Commerce that I proposed is very important in it, which can control the development of commerce, control those merchants who are chaotic, and at the same time I am also ready to reform the commercial tax, and commerce is not chaotic." ”
While developing business, he will also consider curbing the expansion of capital and preventing the emergence of monopolies.
In fact, a model like the Elk family is almost a monopoly, and Yang Zhao can't do anything now, but he will definitely find a way to suppress it in the future.
They listened, thought about it deeply, and it seemed feasible again.
Some things have developed to this point, even if you don't want to do it.
If nothing is done and the original industrial structure is maintained, we can only do without those high-yield crops.
However, planting high-yielding crops can have a lot of impact.
In this trade-off, they believe that many things can still be done at their discretion.
There are many things to consider, and Xun Yu has no other opinions for the time being.
"Breeding, what about it?"
Guo Jia asked curiously.
Yang Zhao said: "Breeding is much simpler, using excess crops as feed for livestock, such as sweet potato vines, we can't eat, bad sweet potato potatoes, corn stalks, etc., can be used to feed livestock." ”
This, they are easier to understand.
Whether it's feeding chickens or sheep, it's normal.
"In terms of aquaculture, I have another idea."
"I want the people of Dahan to eat meat normally, instead of eating only vegetarian food, and starving to the point of being yellow and thin."
Yang Zhao continued.
This ideal seems to be a bit great.
In ancient times, ordinary people were basically vegetarians, and the conditions were even worse, and they drank porridge directly, basically growing what they planted, eating whatever they wanted, and meat was very expensive.
If ordinary people can afford to eat meat, the changes will indeed be great.
"The lord is for the people of the world."
Hua Xin said admiringly.
The others all bowed and were in awe.
Yang Zhao was a little embarrassed and said: "I just did something, what should be done, it's not as great as you think, by the way, tomorrow you will help me get a few pigs back?" ”
"The lord still wants to raise pigs?"
Li Ru asked incomprehensibly.
Yang Zhao said: "You get it back first, I have another order, the second batch of potatoes planted, leave me a thousand catties, I also have another use." ”
He suddenly wanted to make some, better wine.
Vodka, for example, is brewed with potatoes.
The vodka of the woolly bear is easy to get people on the head, and the market prospect is definitely great.
Yang Zhao said everything that should be said, and then let people pass on Lu Zhu and Zhen Yan to Linzi, and they need to be responsible for some business matters.
Next, he went back to his office.
After thinking about it for a while, he had to write down the knowledge of basic agriculture, and at the same time draft a plan for the development of agriculture and commerce, reforms, etc., and he wanted to implement these things as soon as possible.
This also includes industry.
In order to do so much, in fact, you have to have money, business must be liberalized and developed, but at the same time, it must be restricted, and there are many things that need to be done in the future.
"I'm already so tired before I become emperor."
Yang Zhao was complaining in his heart, and silently picked up the pen to write.
