Chapter 945: My son has the posture of a great emperor
Chang'an City, Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace.
"Hahahaha!" Li Shimin's smile was called a happy one, and the Bureau of Statistics under the Ministry of Auditing had just calculated the latest accounting figures, and the resulting figures made Li Shimin laugh heartily three times.
"My son has the assets of the Great Emperor!" Li Shimin waved his hand excitedly and said.
Wei Zheng: "......"
Fang Xuanling: "......"
Today's eldest grandson Wuji is naturally not open as usual, and he himself knows the reason for not doing business, so when he should not appear, he naturally does not appear.
Fang Wei and the others had no choice, and they couldn't escape.
"Look, look, I don't know where this kid collected these high-yield wheat seeds, maybe they also came from overseas, but anyway, this yield is too high!" Li Shimin was a little excited.
"Since last winter, I heard that the warehouse outside Chang'an City has been continuously transporting wheat to the important grain producing areas of several provinces such as Guannei Province, and I heard that this kid is a high-yield wheat breed shipped from overseas, and I don't know how much he has promoted."
"But this year's number, it is really God who should make my Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty smooth and rich for a thousand years! My good son, my good son! Li Shimin was very excited.
He rarely has such a gaffe, but Fang Wei and the others can understand, because it is not easy for Li Shimin to ascend the throne. In the first year of Zhenguan, Jieli led his troops to break into the vicinity of Longyou Road, and His Majesty had to sign an alliance with Jieli for this reason.
Just like His Majesty himself said, it was not the humiliation of Datang, but it was the humiliation of him Li Shimin. Because if it weren't for him Li Shimin's Xuanwumen change, Jieli would definitely not have that opportunity.
Subsequently, from the early years of Zhenguan to the fourth year of Zhenguan, Datang suffered disasters year after year, from drought, locust plague, frost and other disasters frequently, so that His Majesty had to swallow locusts and personally write down the edict of sin.
Even under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty still destroyed the Eastern Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan! From the beginning of Zhenguan, the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Gaochang, Western Turks, Goguryeo and other surrounding countries took turns to find trouble with the Tang Dynasty.
There is only one reason for all this, there is not enough food.
Food has always been Li Shimin's heart disease, and until His Royal Highness the King of Qin no longer hides his clumsiness, perhaps he has obtained unprecedented technology from the country on the other side of the ocean, and has obtained a large amount of grain from Nanyang, His Majesty has not been so happy.
Because the grain came from Nanyang, in His Majesty's opinion, Nanyang has not been completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a long-term way after all.
No one knows how many years Nanyang can supply Datang grain.
Although the potatoes have been sown and promoted many times before, and His Majesty has even eaten them, His Majesty has never been so excited, and they all know that His Majesty is waiting, waiting for this grain to be popularized all over the world, and when it can really be popularized in the world.
And this year, it all came to fruition.
According to the data given by the Bureau of Statistics, from last year to the beginning of this year, the total number of high-yield wheat seeds delivered by His Royal Highness to various parts of Datang is about 600,000 farmers, more than one-tenth of Datang's farmers, and occupies almost all of Datang's high-yield land in the northern region.
The average household of 600,000 households planted wheat is about 50 mu, a total of 30 million mu, and the average yield is about 4.8 stone per mu!
You must know that the average yield of wheat per mu before Datang was only about 1.7 stones!
Almost tripled!
This means that the harvest of wheat from these 30 million acres of land alone is 8.6 billion kilograms! About 8.6 million tons! According to the calculation of 2 catties of grain per day for each person in Datang, each person is about 365 kilograms of grain a year, and the annual ration of these people is only 9.1 billion kilograms!
30 million acres of land can feed all the people in the world, so isn't the rest of the land all surplus? !
The problem is that it's just wheat! The yield of potatoes is even more terrifying, the point is that the demand for land for potatoes is cheaper, the total number of potatoes planted in Datang this year is only 3.2 million mu, but the average yield per mu has reached 30 stones!
This is also because a lot of the land is relatively barren!
These potatoes alone are another 5.7 billion catties of grain! Your Highness said that people can live just by eating this potato! These two things alone are enough for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live with food throughout the year, not to mention all the rice grown in the south, as well as the rice that has been continuously transported back from Linyi, Zhenwax, Tianzhu and other places!
I heard that the mountain people in Yizhou and Nanzhao have been recruiting them to go to Linyi, Lusong and other places to grow rice, and the rice in those places can be harvested three times a year! There is no shortage of food!
In the future, Datang will not be short of food, can Your Majesty not be happy?!
And after planting for a year this year, these high-yield seeds will be replanted next year, and the seeds of potatoes will be enough to popularize the world, and this Datang will no longer starve to death!
It is understandable that His Majesty is so out of shape today.
How can the people of the world eat a kilogram of grain a day? Obviously, the price of grain in the Tang Dynasty will not rise in the future, and of course His Royal Highness said that it is impossible for this grain to fall.
Tang Grain Reserve has applied to the central money bank and started to carry out the grain collection policy, which will stabilize the grain price of Datang and wheat at 100 wen per stone, the price of corn will also be stable at 80 wen, and rice may be more expensive at 110 wen and one stone.
This is the subsidized price that Tang grain reserves have given to the peasants this year to collect grain from the state treasury on behalf of the state treasury.
This year, the people will definitely be able to have a prosperous year! The average number of people in a family in Datang is less than 5 people, according to the calculation of 5 people, one person has one kilogram of grain a day, and the whole family only has 1,800 kilograms of grain a year, and about 30 stone of grain is enough to eat.
However, the income of the people is 240 stone grain, so they sell 200 stone grain according to each household, which is 20 yuan! When will the people of Datang have an income of 20 yuan a year from farming?
Not to mention that this is not counting the income of the other 50 acres.
"Xuan Ling." Li Shimin said happily.
"The minister is here."
"This year's grain harvest has not yet begun, and now we are starting to let Tang Grain Reserve start to collect grain, and announce the matter of agricultural subsidies to the whole world!"
In the same way, the grain production is also announced to the world! Don't forget, just say it's all Li Ke's credit! This point is handed over to the officials below to promote, so don't go through the Datang Weekly. ”
"The other is to announce to those areas with less fields, let the local officials announce to the people, just say that there is a large amount of barren and inhabited land in various parts of the Tang Dynasty that needs to be planted, and those who are willing to migrate, the imperial court will subsidize their travel expenses and a year's food!" Li Shimin waved his hand.
Lao Tzu is also rich now. Naturally, it is generous!
Anyway, there is a lot of grain harvested, and this year's grain will not be exhausted, so these people who are willing to emigrate will be subsidized for travel expenses and food! As long as you are willing to immigrate, it's easy to say!
Let all the land in the world be planted!
