In addition to Liang Xiao and his subordinates, there were Mu Qinxue, Gongsun Yue, Jiang Fuxue and the accompanying Yahuan.

The knights were also there.

Two million acres of farmland and tens of thousands of tenant farmers are distributed in the four fields of Yanzhou......

The farmland belonging to Liang Xiao himself in the eastern suburbs alone exceeds 600,000 mu, and the number of tenant farmers exceeds 10,000.

In ancient times, there was very little intensively cultivated farmland, and it was normal for more cultivated land per capita.

"Hou Ye announced: From now on, all tenant farmers under his name will only pay 30% of the harvest, and they are allowed to rent Hou Ye's farm tools!"

After the family at the scene spread Liang Xiao's order, all the tenant farmers were surprised and delighted!

Gongsun Yue and the knights were taken aback.

Only pay 30% of the tenant rent?

The field tax of the Great Zhou Dynasty is fifteen taxes and one tax, and the actual proportion of taxes collected is about twenty taxes and one tax.

Some sharecroppers had their own farming implements.

This means that if the tenant farmer planted Liang Xiao's land, after paying about one-twentieth of the land tax to the state, he would take seventy percent of the remaining grain!

Da Zhou has never been such a generous landlord!

Even if it is the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, it only gives sixty percent to the tenant farmers, which has already made the tenant farmers grateful to Dade.

As for Zhuge Hui, there are only 1,500 acres of farmland exclusive to the prime minister under his name, and the imperial court arranges special personnel to cultivate it for him. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, other farmland obtained by Zhuge Hui has been sold by Zhuge Hui and used to support the national treasury.

The proportion of seventy percent shocked the audience!

Prior to this, these tenant farmers had to pay at least half of their tenant rent to their landlords, regardless of a poor harvest.

"Thank you, Master Hou!!"

The tenant farmers were afraid that Liang Xiao would regret it, so they grabbed the land with their heads, and many people cried with joy.

Qin Xun, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but sigh when he saw it.

Yanzhou is tired, and the people are thankful that they can have a bite to eat, how can there ever be a time when they are treated so generously.

It's just that...... If you don't consider selling the land in the future, Liang Xiao's farmland income is not high.

For 2 million mu of farmland, the rent collection may not be as good as that of other landlords of 1 million mu.

Those big families can sell so much land to Liang Xiao, and they can get a million mu of farmland in other regions.

The knights looked at Liang Xiao's smiling face on the high platform in front of them, and they couldn't help but be in awe.

Liang Xiao proved with his practical actions that he can treat the people well, whether they are Lanling Shiyi or not!

Xiahou Qingyi's eyes were clear, and he always looked at Liang Xiao, and inadvertently saw Mu Qinxue and Gongsun Yue behind Liang Xiao.

The third lady of the Gongsun family is also ......

Xiahou Qingyi's pupils shrank, and he was a little worried.

But soon her eyes fell on Jiang Fuxue again.

The little girl had been looking at her, her eyes clear and endearing.

"Show farm tools!"

At this time, Liang Xiao gave an order, and his subordinates pushed several cars into the room.

Each vehicle has a brand new batch of ploughs.

"This is the Quyuan plow?"

Qin Baili and the others, who had been waiting for a long time, were full of anticipation.

"It does look different from the straight plow, the straight and long wheels are changed to curved wheels, short wheels, and the plow disc that can rotate freely is also installed at the head of the wheel to make the plow frame lighter. I just don't know how efficient the arable land is? ”

Scholars attach importance to agriculture and mulberry, and naturally also attach importance to the improvement of related processes.

"This is the farm tool provided by Master Hou? No wonder Hou Ye bought so much farmland, but he didn't buy farm tools, he was prepared! ”

The tenant farmers were puzzled.

The landlords of those big families sold land to Liang Xiao, but did not sell him farm tools, which dug a pit for Liang Xiao.

Fortunately, these tenant farmers have some of their own ploughs at hand, and they are just about to remind them out of gratitude.

Liang Xiao explained: "The efficiency of this curved plow is much higher than that of the traditional straight plow, and it can be operated by one person and one ox!" Demonstrate! ”

The family members who had already prepared couldn't wait to assemble the zigzag plough for the ploughing oxen and start plowing the land.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, the plough is easy to lift the soil, and the rotation is much easier than the traditional plough.

After Liang Xiao's guidance, everyone probably also understood the significant advantages of Quyuan plow.

"In this way, the farming efficiency of each household in Dazhou will be able to reach a higher level in the future!!"

Qin Baili, who had always been calm, was excited and lost his voice.

Gongsun Yue saw that this "clansman" was so out of shape, and instantly understood.

The emergence of Quyuan plough will definitely set off an agricultural innovation in the Great Zhou!

Bashu is the country of abundance, and Quyuan plough must also be promoted!

The emergence of the Quyuan plough is equivalent to a timely rain, which brings higher farming efficiency to the tired people of Yanzhou, which means that the people's labor force is more valuable and the output efficiency of farmland is higher.

For farmers, if an acre of land can produce an extra pound of grain, it is God's reward to eat!

As incomes increase, the motivation for farming will naturally increase, forming a virtuous circle.

Now Gongsun Yue understands why Liang Xiao enclosed the land from those family landlords with such a lightning speed.

These family landlords can no longer occupy so much farmland and enjoy the benefits brought by Quyuan plow, at least not in Yanzhou!

She also understood why Liang Xiao didn't annex the farmland that the people of Yanzhou and the Dongye clan planned to sell.

After Quyuan plough is promoted, and the people obviously feel the efficiency improvement, they will definitely be grateful to Liang Xiao and the imperial court!

Gongsun Yue immediately calculated an account in her heart: "In this way, after the situation in Yanzhou is stabilized, the price per mu of thin land may rise to one tael, more than two taels of good land, or even more...... How much more than tripled? ”

Secretly amazed in her heart, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but be disappointed.

Why did such a person leave Bashu back then......

Looking at Jiang Fuxue, whose eyes were full of little stars, Gongsun Yue was relieved again.

If he didn't leave Bashu back then, who could save Jiang Fuxue?

In the dark, there are days of their own......

Looking at it this way, Zhuo Mingfeng's suggestion doesn't seem to be unreasonable?

Thinking of the marriage, Gongsun Yue only felt that his face was a little hot.

Liang Xiao saw the smiles of anticipation and joy on the faces of the people, and his heart was satisfied.

In ancient times, productivity was low, communication conditions were poor, and stability was more important than anything else.

These people are accustomed to the exploitation of the great families, and they will naturally understand who is better for them in the future.

Yanzhou's first priority is development and stability, and then it will have the confidence to fight against Beihu and finally lead the troops north!

On the same day, Liang Xiao went to several other latest official fields in the eastern suburbs to announce the news.

"My emperor has an order: from now on, the tenant rent of all official fields in Yanzhou will only pay 40% of the harvest, and it is allowed to rent government farm tools and be exempted from paying field tax!"

After the news spread, the people were equally grateful to Dade and cried with joy!

The imperial court collected less than the previous landlords, and if they were exempted from paying land tax, the preferential treatment was no less than the tenant rent in Liang Xiao's name.

After all, with the endorsement of the imperial court, reliability is also a big advantage.

At the same time, Liang Xiao's personnel arranged in advance also went to other farmlands in Yanzhou to announce the news.

For a time, the streets and alleys of Yanzhou were full of joy and songs.

"The emperor's grace is immense, and the ministers are in mind!"

"The Marquis of Lanling will live a long life!"

Duguchen, who was sitting in Yanzhou Academy, received the news, couldn't sit still at all, and ran to find his subordinate Duguyan.
