Chapter 217: Preparation
"And the potatoes, which also need to be planted in large quantities, have a short harvest period and high yield, which is definitely a good thing."
Li Zhao added.
Li Jinong had already learned about such high-yield grain from Li Zhao's mouth, and nodded again and again, "This is also necessary." ”
The potato harvest period is about three months, and after a month of planting, it will be harvested in a few days, which is no better than rice.
"I believe that after this food crisis, the people already know that our grain yield is high, the suppression of business has been banned, and the production of fertilizers will be increased."
At present, fertilizer production is only for its own use, if it is the fertilization stage, it can only be produced for its own use, but at the moment there is no need to fertilize, then the production can be put into the market in large quantities.
Gao Yu ordered fertilizer before, and has begun to publicize it, coupled with this famine, such a high-yield grain, the people naturally think of fertilizer, so there must have been people eyeing fertilizer.
It's good to keep an eye on it, so you don't have to advertise it.
In other words, after the ban on business suppression, all industries in Chang'an Township can be mass-produced and sold in large quantities, which is a good start.
The farm is also operating normally, and there is a flurry at every time.
So many industries continue to provide a lot of money for Chang'an Township, but Li Zhao feels that it is not enough, and it is necessary to expand production and diversify industries.
In addition, the expansion of production and the increase in the number of natural personnel will increase the number of people who need to be employed, and the existing accommodation for so many people will be completely inadequate and temporary.
It's time to build a place to live.
The architecture of Daqin is still relatively backward, but the bricks are more famous, Li Zhao in his previous life has heard of Qin bricks and Han tiles, Qin bricks are green bricks, but they are not available to ordinary people.
The price of green bricks is high, and only the princes and nobles can use it, and the common people live in wooden houses.
In fact, this polarized gap between the rich and the poor will bring back inhibition to business, so in order for Daqin's economy to develop, what he must do is to make some of them rich first.
It sounds unfair to let some people get rich, but it's also a good way to grow the economy.
Li Zhao's approach is like this: This part of the people who get rich first is the original capitalists, and this part of the people invests to make the people employed, and when the people have income, they can boldly consume, and this consumption can make the economy lively.
This is the basic idea of economic development.
But to really do this, the first thing is to let everyone eat enough and have surplus food first.
And the rice in Chang'an Township can provide conditions for this.
Some time ago, the grain was put into Xianyang, which was to solve the problem of famine, but this time it can be specially used as a grain seed and promoted everywhere, within two years, plus the addition of maize and potatoes such a high-yield grain, he dares to guarantee that within two years, Daqin can solve the problem of food and clothing.
With food and clothing, some surplus labor can be liberated for handicraft production, which is the germ of commercial development.
Only if it is developed, then some people can specialize in non-agriculture, as in Chang'an Township, many farmers in Chang'an Township are farmers from the surrounding areas, and they also come to Chang'an Township to earn an extra income in addition to taking care of their own fields.
In fact, with the development of Chang'an Township, the demand for various products is increasing, and farmers find that they earn much more in Chang'an Township than they produce from their own fields, so many people have given up their status as tenant farmers and directly become employees of Chang'an Township.
This is the inevitable result of the development of the handicraft industry.
When this situation is common throughout Daqin, then the people will have surplus food and money, and after having money, they will pursue a better life, which can promote the economy well, and the better the economy, the more people will benefit, which is to let some people drive others to get rich.
