Chapter 96 Promoting the Work of the Department of Agriculture
Department of Agriculture!
After repeatedly arranging Yan Tao's drama, Yingcheng came to the Agricultural Division, one of the thirteen divisions of Xinli.
It's not new.
Previously, under the internal history of Su Zhi, there was a department dedicated to the management of agricultural affairs, Cangsu.
Responsible for the investigation and cultivation of farmland in the world.
This is interconnected with the water conservancy department of Shaofu.
It was under the advice of these two departments that the Li clan of Sichuan and Shu was created to dredge the rivers of the world.
And now.
He divided the department separately and formed the Department of Agriculture.
Thinking from the perspective of people's livelihood, China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, and the development of agriculture is the top priority.
From the perspective of Daqin's stability, it is necessary to divide the peasants and the scholars.
He never thought that an old peasant would rebel, even if it was an old peasant in a county.
On the contrary, the rebels are those who have read a few books, because they know how to exploit people's suffering for their own benefit.
Whether it is Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Chen Sheng or Wu Guang.
If agriculture, the largest group with the largest base, is cut out from the rebel group, the stabilization of Daqin will be half the success.
"Xiaguan Tian Zhen meets Cheng Chenggong!"
As soon as he arrived at the Department of Agriculture, Tian Zhen came forward to greet him.
In addition to Tian Zhen, there are also a number of officials who serve in the Department of Agriculture.
The entire Department of Agriculture is running steadily, and there is no indication that this is a newly established government office, and everyone has their own things to do.
"It's okay, I'm just here for a casual stroll!" Yingcheng said this calmly.
I really hung out in the Department of Agriculture.
Rummage around.
This place is almost in charge of the entire farmland structure and distribution of Daqin, and ordinary people really can't see this.
"The Great Law Order, this is the distribution of acres of fields!" Tian Zhen followed Yingcheng and quickly replied.
Yingcheng nodded, flipped through it casually, and didn't say much.
Obviously, Yingcheng was also surprised.
This is the statistics for October, and it is also the annual statistics of Daqin.
A total of 137.82 million acres of land.
It is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Shu, Qi and Guanzhong, and is the three main grain producing areas.
Within Guanzhong, the Guanzhong Plain of Qinchuan is formed by the Zhengguo Canal.
The land of Sichuan and Shu is formed by the Chengdu Plain formed by Dujiangyan.
Qidi is surrounded by water on three sides, facing the sea, and the natural plain and hilly terrain forms the Heji Plain and the North China Plain.
In addition to this, food production is not high elsewhere.
This is basically concentrated in the Yellow River Basin.
As for the development of the Yangtze River Basin, it is also slightly insufficient, such as the Jianghan Plain, the Dongting Lake Plain, the Panyang Lake Plain, the Yangtze River Coastal Plain, the Yangtze River Delta, etc., are still in the undeveloped areas.
The Yangtze River basin used to be the territory of the Chu State, and if the Chu State could develop the Yangtze River Basin like the Qin State, it would not be destroyed.
How to say it, in fact, food is not a scarce thing for Daqin.
It's just that the crops are too simple.
It is mainly rice, millet and corn.
Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, flax, carrots, watermelons, corn, cotton, etc., have yet to be introduced.
Potatoes, in particular, have to be found, and as for how to find them, this is a problem.
Potatoes may still be growing in the mountains and fields in some corner of South America.
Corn may still be in some of the corners of Central America.
At this time, it is a bit difficult to cross the ocean to see you!
Especially cotton, play cotton, play cotton, don't you use wool bullets!
Of course.
This is only one of the purposes for Yingcheng to come, but it is not the main purpose.
What kind of conditions are there to do what kind of things, even if you know the exact location in South America, it is not a matter of a year and a half to find it.
It's useless to think too much.
There are three main categories of land in Daqin.
Official land, rented land, private land.
Guantian, that is, all the fields of the Qin State, this occupies a tenth of the proportion, and it is extremely chaotic, if it is to be divided, these fields may have to be divided among the millions of soldiers of the Great Qin.
Tax field, for the purpose of collecting taxes, the government divides a certain proportion of the land owned by the people into tax fields, and all the output of this part of the tax fields is paid.
Private land, privately owned acres, this is already an extremely advanced system, land privatization, this kind of proportion is the heaviest.
And this is one of them.
A large part of the official land is rented land, that is, the people can rent the official land for farming.
At the same time, farm tools and ploughing cattle can also be rented from government farming tools.
"It seems that the real factor that led to the chaos in Great Qin is not the problem of farmland!"
Yingcheng looked at it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Because at the current volume, it is enough to feed 30 million people in the world.
In fact, it is very strange that there are no natural disasters in Daqin, droughts, and floods are very rare occurrences, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as smooth and rainy.
This is not the result of a disaster, but the result of water conservancy.
But that is, Great Qin II forgot.
"Poll tax!"
Yingcheng turned to the place of taxation again, although the Department of Agriculture is not responsible for collecting taxes, but because of the previous stock.
The tax accounts had not yet had time to be moved, and he saw them.
The poll tax is actually a personal tax, and when a man becomes an adult, he must register with the government, set up a separate portal, and pay the tax according to the regulations.
If you add the tax field, this tax will reach about ten taxes and four taxes.
"Let's change this issue when it is legislated!"
Yingcheng shook his head, put down the tax accounts, and continued to look through them.
It can be seen that Daqin has spent a lot of effort on the fields.
The entire sea of bamboo slips and books is mainly listed in the county and placed in different categories.
What is planted and how much is produced are divided in detail.
But as for how much water is in it, it is unknown.
Tian Zhen quietly waved his hand at an official, signaling many officials to get off work, and it was enough for him to stay with Yingcheng.
I was also very speechless in my heart, it was already dark this day, and it was time to rest!
Since I came in, I have been looking through this great decree, and there is no instruction, which is really uncomfortable.
He didn't know what this person was here for.
But as Si Zheng, he still has to accompany him.
If he has any doubts, he has to explain them in time.
Who made him, just a Sizheng!
But he had to admire this one, he watched it silently for so long, and he didn't know what he was trying to see.
"Gollum!"
Tian Zhen really didn't mean it, his stomach growled.
"The Great Law Order, the lower official ......" Tian Zhen smiled embarrassedly, aren't you hungry, you have been following it for a long time.
"Prepare something to eat, work hard Tian Sizheng, stay up with me tonight!" Yingcheng said as a matter of course.
"Being able to accompany the Great Law Order to read these complex documents is a blessing for the lower officials!" Tian Zhen said gratefully in his heart.
"Hmm!" Yingcheng didn't speak again, and scanned all the bamboo books at a glance.
Daqin's complete field layout has become more and more clearly engraved in his mind.
There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea.
This mountain of documents is the Golden House!
That's right.
He is studying now to confirm whether the transformation of Daqin's agriculture in his heart is appropriate.
As for asking him to personally measure Daqin's fields, he felt that it was better to forget it now, and he would talk about it when he had the opportunity.
