Chapter 430: A Harvest Year for the Whole Country
After the war, the Great Xia Kingdom was once again fully constructed.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which can not only invigorate the economy, but more importantly, facilitate the military mobilization of various provinces.
Convenient transportation can effectively shorten the journey on the road.
…
When the Great Xia Kingdom ushered in the first national harvest, with the joint efforts of the people of the whole country, the main transportation of each province had been opened.
The food and silver money spent in this are all subsidized by Ziyu's private treasury, otherwise how could there be such a great effect.
Its speed, even Ziyu and Libai, who were emperors and national teachers, were greatly shocked by the strength and enthusiasm of the people.
The simple people, with their diligence and enthusiasm, repaid the stability given to them by the Great Xia Kingdom.
Ziyu was moved by the simplicity of the people, and agreed with Libai that the money and grain were well spent.
…
Once, from Yundu to Andong Mansion in the southernmost part, it took half a month for the post soldiers to deliver official documents.
Today, it can be reached in just seven days.
In the event of an emergency military situation, the Golden Eagle will send a letter for a maximum of two days, which will greatly shorten the delay time in the middle and will be more conducive to military mobilization and transmission of information.
It is of great help to Yundu to grasp the situation in various places, and it can quickly mobilize the resources of various provinces.
…
The two seasons of harvest in the south are not subject to taxes.
In just one year, the grain warehouse of every family is full, and the people are never satisfied and happy.
All day long, they have a smile on their faces, because there is nothing more than having food at home, which makes them more down-to-earth.
When returning the seeds from the government, each family also took the initiative to sell the cleaned grain to the granary run by the government.
People who come here to sell grain, whether they know each other or not, can talk a few words, and they are not afraid of being targeted at their money bags.
…
"Hahaha, the days are getting more and more promising."
The old farmer Jia carried a bag full of copper coins, shook it twice and put it to his ear to listen.
There was a satisfaction on his face that he had never felt before, and he was probably happier than when he married a new daughter-in-law.
"That's not it, in the past, those big families collected grain, and they were good for a penny and a pound.
In the harvest year, the black-hearted merchants pressed the price to two catties per penny, and we never had a good time.
I didn't say anything about packing up a deflated shell, and I had to deduct water or something, anyway, it wasn't as good as us.
Now selling it to the granary for two pennies a pound, the income has doubled, not to mention the grain production has more than doubled.
Inside and outside here, we have earned it. ”
The old farmer B also held a coin bag of copper coins and shook it, and the two old farmers in their fifties fully reflected the satisfaction of the current people with their existing life.
"This is all because our Great Xia country is good, and the emperor and the national teacher love the people like sons.
If nothing else, take road construction as an example, in the past, they were all sent to labor.
If you want the government to provide food and money, it is simply impossible. The young scholar who came to sell grain together said.
"The emperor also gave us seeds, there is no good harvest without good seeds, and our family is ready to use the seeds given by the emperor every year."
"Our family is the same, one acre of harvest is equivalent to the original three acres, and the family's fine grain can't be eaten at once."
"Hahaha, so is my family."
"The emperor is so good to us, my family has no other skills, and it is still possible to sell more grain to the granary."
"My man and eldest son are all soldiers of the emperor, and I also want to sell more grain."
"Selling grain must be sold, how can you finish eating if you don't sell it, save money!"
A group of people suddenly ran to the agricultural money village opened by the imperial court, and took out the small books and private seals that had been prepared earlier.
Seeing that every amount of money was clearly recorded on it, even if it was only a few hundred copper coins, I couldn't see my teeth and eyes with a smile.
After the harvest, towns all over the country were talking about the same thing.
When the imperial court blessed the people, the people also repaid the imperial court with their most simple actions.
The current Great Xia Kingdom can be said to be united and happy.
…
The Bishan tribe, who were eyeing each other, learned of the bumper harvest in the Great Xia Kingdom, and their minds became more active.
The nomadic steppe tribes are the most difficult season in winter, and many people die of hunger and cold.
Now, knowing that the Great Xia Kingdom is profitable, the Bishan tribe has started the idea of buying and selling without capital.
However, the Bishan tribe knew that it would definitely not be easy to win if they wanted to compete with the Great Xia Kingdom with the strength of one tribe.
Mi Liang, the leader of the Bishan tribe who had not yet officially crossed the peak with the Great Xia Kingdom, had been a little swollen since he defeated Xiao Yuanliang.
In the past, Xiao Yuanliang could be described as a vicious wolf among the tribes on the grassland, and he was not defeated under their alliance.
Mi Liang, who tasted the benefits of the alliance, sent a letter to Zong Fu, the leader of the Xiangluo tribe, and Di Ming, the leader of the Yincang tribe.
A conspiracy is germinating in the common interest.
…
Suo Dan and the others, who had settled down in Hewan Mansion, had fully integrated into the life of the Great Xia Kingdom and loved this vast land even more.
With a fixed place to live, there is no longer a need to be nomadic herds, and the elderly and children stay in the village to farm for a living.
While grazing herds, the prime of life served as a border guard, because as long as he served as a guard, he would have a food subsidy.
There is a monthly subsidy of 30 liters of grain per person, and the proportion of coarse and fine grains is half of the total, which makes the people of Xinhewan very active.
There are even more people who want the whole family to go up to the border to guard, so that the family will not have to worry about eating and drinking.
The cattle and sheep raised can also be sent to Yundu to sell at a good price, and the family foundation of the people of Hewan Mansion looks thick.
In this Hewan Province, where everyone is good at riding, there has been a boom in martial arts training since the autumn harvest, and some women have also actively joined the training.
The reason why they are so active is because they have listened to the legendary stories of the emperors and teachers of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The emperor and the national teacher started from scratch, defeated three countries to create the Great Xia Kingdom, which has become a legend in the mouth of the storyteller and is widely spread in major teahouses.
It is also the legend that people like to listen to the most after dinner.
There are often old people in the village who like to talk about the ancients, after listening to the storytelling of the teahouse.
At dusk, while the villagers were resting after dinner, they set up an opening scene for a while, and the people's blood boiled.
What's even more attractive is the legendary love story of the two.
How many women are excited, but no one will pretend to be a fool and fight for the favor of the national teacher.
Because once it is known, there is no need for the emperor or the national teacher to take action, and his own neighbors or neighbors come to his door every day to scold Huai.
In the minds of the people of the Great Xia Kingdom, the emperor and the national teacher are sacrosanct and inviolable, as noble as the gods.
No one is allowed to desecrate!
Even three-year-old children know that the emperor and the national teacher are good emperors who let them have enough to eat and can enter the academy when they grow up.
Many people, since learning the true identity of the emperor, the first thing to pray for is to pray for the Bodhisattva to bless the emperor to give birth to the prince and princess as soon as possible.
In their cognition, only such an emperor who is dedicated to the people's thoughts can their children and grandchildren live a good life.
