For people who can help themselves make money, Gu Feixue is not stingy with the investment of resources.

Giving Chu Tianshu a pistol is just a trivial matter for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

As for asking Xie Ningzi to teach Chu Tianshu to use a gun...... That's what Xie Ningzi will do no matter whether she says it or not.

So if you mention it, you can take the credit on yourself, and she also said this sentence very casually.

However, this so-called "reward" is not what Chu Tianshu wants.

What Chu Tianshu wants is an understanding of reality.

So he asked Gu Feixue about the agriculture situation in the Great Cloud Dynasty.

It's a big topic.

It includes not only the price, output, planting cycle, number of employees, and the proportion of local output in domestic consumption of various agricultural products, but also the specific population distribution in the country of the Great Cloud Dynasty.

For Gu Feixue, none of these things are particularly confidential.

So she casually promised to help Chu Tianshu understand this.

So the next day, July 3, Chu Tianshu ushered in several petty officials of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The political system of the Great Cloud Dynasty was to govern state affairs with parliament.

At the top, the discussion of the kings who control the military affairs is the exception of the deliberations, and generally speaking, the deliberations do not include the deliberations of the kings.

In addition to the discussion of the kings, the so-called "deliberations" actually refer to the six deliberations of policy, taxation, industry, agriculture, education, and law.

Among them, the highest status is policymaking.

This proposal is in charge of major state affairs.

Under the policy, in the past 100 years or so, the highest status should be the agricultural council.

However, now the ranking of the agricultural council among the councils is much lower.

-- When the country failed to vigorously develop industry and dumped abroad, agriculture was one of the two pillars of the Great Cloud Dynasty.

At that time, Dayun was a very ordinary country, saying that it was a little stronger than other countries, but it was also limited, and saying that it was the suzerain's kingdom was actually boasting about itself.

At this time, the biggest problem facing Dayun is that there is no money.

- The royal family has money, but the court has no money.

At that time, the country was ruled by large and small landlords, when there was an excessive dependence on agriculture, the level of technology was not developed, and the imperial court did not have much money.

During this period, the royal family was the largest warlord and landowner in the country.

The royal family is very powerful.

But the imperial court, not so much.

Sixty or seventy years ago, Dayun began to seek reform.

The direction of reform is the development of foreign trade.

The land of Dayun is vast, the national border is very long, and at the same time, a large area of the national border is close to the sea, so it is normal to develop sea trade and fishery in order to obtain resources and support the court and the country.

But there is a very important problem in this - the Great Cloud Dynasty does not have any excellent local products.

So for a long time, the fist product sold by the Yun Dynasty to the outside world was Hanying Suxue.

At the same time, the shipbuilding industry flourished because of the needs of ocean-going trade.

At the same time, it is driven by the development of the materials industry and the weapons industry.

Afterward.

That is, more than 20 years ago, the first emperor was the prince of the prison country.

During that time, the first emperor met someone.

This man stated a fact to the emperor.

This fact is that it can't last long just by selling cold English and plain snow.

And so it did.

After selling the snow for a while, 20 years ago, Dayun switched from export to import.

——Yunren was given anti-dumping by the industrious and simple Zheluo country.

The country of Zheluo blocked the national fortunes, planted cold English and snow in one-third of the country's land, and with the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work and not treating one's own people as people, in the case of a shortage of food in the country, it realized the extraction and evolution of cold snow and anti-dumping.

Then the kingdom of Jerra perished.

The people of the Yun Dynasty have not been very good at doing business in this aspect.

However, the weapons manufacturing industry of the Cloud people has been well trained in maritime trade and dealing with pirates of all kinds.

Moreover, the Yunren have accumulated a lot of wealth after a long period of foreign trade, and the royal family has increased military spending by as much as forty percent.

In this case, the Yunren can't sell things to the people of Zheluo, and they can still beat it.

So the people of the Yun Dynasty, under the planning of a young man named Qin Zheng, and under the leadership of a young emperor, began to fight abroad.

Later facts proved the admonition of the young Qin Zheng.

That is, fighting a war is really more profitable than simply selling goods.

Then, in the process of foreign warfare, the Yun people constantly expanded and optimized their own armament.

Moreover, the Yun people found that the countries that were defeated by the Yun Dynasty were all eager for the Yun people's weapons.

As a result, another pillar industry was born.

Initially, this industry was monopolized by the royal family as a smuggling business.

Later, with the loss of the scale of the war and the intensification of domestic land and population annexation, this monopoly by the royal family and one surname became the monopoly of the imperial court.

And in the war that lasted for more than ten years, everything changed.

"It's outrageous." Chu Tianshu listened to the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture chatting about the history and traditions of the Yun Dynasty, and felt very magical.

"Aren't these laws just a dead letter?"

"That can't be said either." Jiang Nan'an said with a smile: "Since it is a law, since it has not been abolished, it is always useful when it is available." ”

"Although you don't usually use it, if you really need it, you can still take it out and talk about it."

"Makes sense." Chu Tianshu sighed: "On the one hand, it is said that the country lacks a population, and it makes great efforts and spends a lot of money to import slaves from outside, and on the other hand, there is actually no shortage of people in the country. ”

"It's a thing of this world." Jiang Nan'an brushed his beard: "Brother Chu is still too young. ”

"This lack of people is a shortage of people, a population overflow, a population overflow, and it cannot be confused."

"The law of the dynasty...... That is naturally good, at least when this law was first established, the emperor's intentions were good. ”

"It's just that in the process of implementation, we ordinary people ...... it," he said, and he couldn't help laughing: "Let's talk about what Brother Chu is interested in." ”

"We introduced several new varieties of grain in the first two years, and the yield is extremely high."

"Are there any side effects from eating it?"

"Then I don't know." Jiang Nan'an shook his head: "This new crop is the same as the new technology, and it must be limited to His Royal Highness the King of Pi, whether it can be planted in the end and whether it can be eaten as food, that is what the King of Li and His Majesty need to consider." ”

"Before the king reports and His Majesty gives instructions, no matter how high-yield this kind of thing is, no one will be able to eat it."

"No one knows if there will be any side effects when you eat it."
