Thinking of this, Hua Xiong couldn't help but be happy.

The problems that I had seen in the history books before would be put in front of me.

Interesting.

If Huaxiong is left alone, the population will be smaller and smaller in the future, and the tax revenue will be less and less.

When the time comes, the foundation of the country will be shaken.

If you want to solve this problem, the simplest and crudest way is to follow what Jia Xu said.

The big landlords were forced to pay taxes to the bureaucrats and to count the population.

It's just that in this way, it will inevitably provoke contradictions and conflicts between the two sides.

The counterattack of the entire old bureaucratic forces, even Hua Xiong was not confident that he would be able to suppress it.

The fate of Wang Mang in the previous dynasty is still in the purpose.

"Master Taishi, what is the best way? If this continues, the country will not be a country! ”

Xun Yu had a sad expression on his face.

Although he couldn't get used to seeing Huaxiong covering the sky with one hand, he didn't want the country to be in turmoil.

Everyone looked at Hua Xiong with expectant eyes.

Hua Xiong spread his hands and said helplessly,

"Are you treating me like Tinker Bell, can you solve any problem?"

Everyone didn't know what Tinker Bell was, but from Huaxiong's tone, they could tell that there was nothing he could do.

For a while, everyone's expressions were a little gloomy.

However, at this moment, Hua Xiong laughed,

"Actually, there are solutions."

Xun Yu's spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly asked,

"Master Taishi, what is the solution, you can say it quickly!"

"It's very simple, if there is no farmland, then our reclamation will be over."

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

But when they heard his words, the crowd laughed bitterly.

"We've thought about this method for a long time, but it's not so easy to reclaim the wasteland."

Xun Yu sighed.

"Yes, the cost of cultivating land is too high."

Li Ru echoed.

In ancient times, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and it was very easy to find a piece of wasteland.

But if you want to cultivate it, it is even more difficult.

First of all, the peasants had to have agricultural tools, the ancient iron-making technology was not developed, and the iron material was an official position of the imperial court, so it was difficult to obtain.

The second is that there is also the need for ploughing cattle.

Cattle were good helpers for farming in ancient times, and they could promote agricultural development.

The laws of the Han Dynasty strictly stipulate that it is forbidden to slaughter ploughing cattle at will, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!

After Jiang Wei used the Fire Ox Array last time, Hua Xiong was almost distressed.

Cattle are already expensive, and the burden of raising cattle is not small, so ordinary farmers do not have cattle at all.

There are no farm tools and no ploughing cattle, and if you want to reclaim the wasteland, it is equivalent to a fool's dream.

"I thought it was a problem, it's easy to say."

Hua Xiong smiled, and he took a piece of paper and drew a pattern on it.

Everyone gathered over and took a closer look.

"Master Taishi, is this a farm tool?"

Xun Yu asked suspiciously.

He felt that this pattern was similar to the long straight plough used in the world.

"Yes, this is a farming tool I invented, called Quyuan Plow."

Hua Xiong pointed to the drawings and began to explain.

"In the past, ploughing the land was time-consuming and energy-consuming.

This is not the case with me, it is light and labor-saving, flexible in operation, and saves manpower and livestock.

Let's put it this way, if you want to reclaim an acre of wasteland, you need three people and two oxen to work with a plow for a day.

And with the plough I invented and transformed, I can open up three acres of wasteland in a day. ”

Hua Xiong's words instantly caused an uproar among those present.

"Three acres of wasteland in one day?"

Xun Yu's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

The others also looked incredulous.

If this is the case, why worry that the people of the world have no farmland to cultivate?

"When did I, Huaxiong, deceive someone? Believe it or not, ask a few of them. ”

Hua Xiong said with a smile.

"Yes, I can testify that Master Taishi never lies."

"Before, Master Taishi said that the super hybrid rice he provided could be harvested twice a year and yield 1,000 catties per mu.

At the time, we didn't believe it, and we were all slapped in the face. ”

The others spoke.

Xun Yu recovered from the shock and believed Huaxiong's statement.

After all, there is no need for Hua Xiong to lie to himself.

"But even if we build a quyuan plow, the farmers can't afford it."

Xun Yu raised new questions.

"Building a zigzag plough is just the beginning."

Hua Xiong said with a smile,

"We can set up a special agricultural department to provide farmers with seeds, ploughing cattle and curved ploughs for free.

But in exchange, all the farmland they reclaimed belonged to the imperial court. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"Will the people say yes?"

Xun Yu asked.

Yes, the fields that have been cultivated with great effort belong to the imperial court, how can the peasants agree.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

Hua Xiong waved his hand,

"Farmland only nominally belonged to the imperial court, and they were not allowed to trade and buy and sell.

But the crops produced in the farmland are still their own.

Just pay your taxes on time. ”

After everyone listened, they were silent at first, and then overjoyed.

"Master Taishi, this method is good!"

"As long as there are farming tools, seeds and cattle, farmers will concentrate on farming and will not become homeless."

"And these farmlands nominally belonged to the imperial court, so as to avoid being swallowed up by large landowners and magnates."

"Coupled with the high-yielding seeds provided by Master Taishi, in this afternoon, the revival of my Han Dynasty is in sight!"

"Seconds! Second! Second! ”

Xun Yu said three seconds in a row, and his excited expression was beyond words.

What is he working so hard for, isn't it to let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and the Han Dynasty will be prosperous!

Thinking of this, Xun Yu's eyes were even a little moist.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Huaxiong,

"Master Taishi, please accept Wen Ruo's worship!"

Hua Xiong hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped him up.

"Wen Ruo, I can't stand your worship."

"If Master Taishi can't stand it, no one in the world can stand it."

Xun Yu looked at Hua Xiong and said seriously.

"In the past, if Wen Ruo was prejudiced against Master Taishi."

"But after getting along for a while recently, Wen Ruo found out that the Taishi is a capable minister who governs the world!"

"Wen Ruo's bow is also an apology to Master Taishi!"

Xun Yu was sincere and bowed to Hua Xiong again.

Hua Xiong smiled,

"I never care if others misunderstand me, as long as Wen Ruo is willing to stay in the cabinet and deal with political affairs in the future."

"As long as Master Taishi believes in Wen Ruo, then Wen Ruo will definitely do his best to serve the court!"

Xun Yu looked solemn.

Li Ru and Guo Jia on the side couldn't help but snicker when they saw it in their eyes.

"I really didn't expect that even the hard-headed Xun Yu could be subdued by the lord."

"This is the powerful personality charm of the lord, are you and I all the same?"

Li Ru and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled.

After the court meeting dispersed, Hua Xiong handed over the drawings of Qu Yuan Plough to Ding Shuai.

Let him supervise the Ordnance Department of the Wolf Army to build a Quyuan plow.

In less than a month, a large number of curved ploughs were successfully built.

At the same time, large numbers of ploughing cattle were also concentrated.

Hua Xiong ordered people to post notices in the city, telling the people in Luoyang about the free provision of seeds, farm tools, and cattle.
