"Your Majesty, you know how to name names." Li Qing arched his hand, and his tone was teasing.

Zhu Di's face was hot, he glared at him angrily, and said to the Jinyi guard behind him, "Go and transport these Yongle rice back to the palace and hand them over to the prince, so that they can be stored." ”

"Obey."

A group of brocade guards stepped forward and began to carry it, and Li Qing took the opportunity to grab a handful, thinking about planting some at home.

Although the planting season has been missed, there are no conditions to create conditions, now it is only the middle of July, and the temperature in Jinling is high, as long as you pay attention to the heat preservation in the later stage.

The group stepped off the ship and stood on the shore of the port to watch the officials of the household department and the Ministry of Industry consign goods down, with a happy face.

"Next time we trade at sea, we must prepare more goods." Zhu Di tasted the sweetness, "Sanbao, the Longjiang Shipyard will start work in a few days, you can take the time to take a look." ”

"Obey." Sambo agreed with a smile.

……

"What is this, sir?" The third girl looked at Huang Cancan's corn with a look of surprise, "Is this also rice?" ”

"Hmm... Sort of! Li Qing nodded, "This is what Sanbao brought back from the West, and the emperor gave him the name Yongle Rice." ”

"With such a big amount of rice, the yield per mu must be extremely high." Wan Ling said.

Li Qing shook his head and smiled, "It's not as simple as you think, this thing can't be planted too densely, it's almost enough to plant 3,000 plants per acre, and if you plant too much, you won't produce rice." ”

While explaining the characteristics of corn to the three daughters, he commanded his subordinates to work, and in an hour's effort, he cultivated about half a cent of land in the sunny place.

Li Qing personally planted a grain every half a foot, and each foot and a half was planted, a total of about 200 grains were planted, and some were eliminated after the seedlings emerged, and it was almost the same.

After doing this, it was also lunch time, Li Qing washed his hands and went back to the backyard lobby with the three girls.

On a hot day, people have little appetite, no big fish and meat, cucumber mixed with preserved eggs, crisp and refreshing, with chilled bayberry wine, the taste is endless.

The alcohol content is very low, and the greedy cup is not afraid of being intoxicated, and the three girls also drank a lot, and after lunch, the four of them returned to the 'air-conditioned room' to enjoy the coolness.

The third daughter was very interested in corn, a novel crop, and kept asking.

"Sir, can this Yongle rice really grow taller than a human?"

"Sir, is it delicious to cook and eat?"

"How long will it take?"

Li Qing was wearing big pants, half-lying on the bed, and answered them one by one.

"It won't take long, the crop has a very short ripening cycle, about 100 days." Li Qing said with a smile, "I guess I will be able to cook and eat it in three months." ”

After talking and laughing for a while, seeing that they were sleepy, Li Qing stretched his waist, "You guys sleep, I promised to give Liang Guogong the medicine and wine, go out." ”

Liang Guogong Mansion.

Lan Yu lifted the wine seal, and her nose twitched a few times, revealing a look of intoxication, "Good wine!" ”

As he spoke, he poured himself a bowl and took a small sip, his face full of satisfaction: "I haven't drunk such a delicious taste for a long time, it's really happy!" ”

"Although the wine is good, don't be greedy for a cup." Li Qing asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, I want to live a few more days." Lan Yu smiled, "Just wait for your wine, otherwise I would have gone far away." ”

"You're all this age, where are you going?" Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "Isn't it good to rest at home honestly?" ”

Lan Yu shook his head and sighed: "Go back to your hometown and take a look, if you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future." ”

After a pause, "By the way, take a look at Yun Xi." ”

Li Qing was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

He heard Lan Yu talk about family affairs, Lan Yu became an orphan at a very young age, it can be said that he grew up with his sister and brother-in-law, and his feelings for his sister's family are not ordinarily deep.

The only flesh and blood of the niece, naturally loved.

To tell the truth, that is, the fourth is against it, if the fourth is not against it, Jianwen will be a few years old, and the generals will endure to the limit, and Lan Yu will unite with the generals to support Zhu Yunxi's ascension.

It's just that the fourth child reversed in advance.

"I want to open some, but the situation is good at the moment, and it can't be better." Li Qing comforted, "Actually, this is not bad, although he has no power, the glory and wealth have not disappeared." ”

Lan Shuai nodded with a wry smile: "I'm this age, I can't toss even if I want toss, and besides, I don't have that strength anymore;

Alas, so be it! ”

It can be seen that he is unwilling, but there is nothing he can do.

Li Qing didn't know how to comfort Lan Yu, Lan Yu's life was brilliant, but he was also miserable.

When he was a teenager, he was told to go through the back door, and when he became an adult, he was suppressed by veterans such as Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, and Li Wenzhong.

Later, his nephew and grandson were also defeated in the process of competing for succession, and later, the fourth child was difficult to succeed and was still not reused.

It can be said that Lan Yu has spent almost all her life in depression.

Lan Yu is arrogant, but he is also really capable, such a person, such a temperament, such an encounter...... Li Qing couldn't help but sigh.

In the end, Li Qing sighed and said with a smile: "Come back early, your future wine will be wrapped on me." ”

"Haha...... Thank you very much. ”

The two chatted for a long time, and seeing that the scorching sun gradually softened, Lan Yu said: "I have to leave, so I won't leave you, and we'll talk about it when I come back." ”

"Have you told the emperor?"

"I've said it a long time ago." Lan Yu smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not what I used to be, and now that my children and grandchildren are full, I will think about them." ”

"I'll send you!"

"No need." Lan Yu waved his hand, "The things have already been packed up, so I won't work for you as a busy person, and we don't need this in our relationship." ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded, stayed for a while, and watched the carriage go away before going back.

……

……

Time passed day by day, Qingzhang acres have been completed, after this re-measurement, more than 20 million acres of cultivated land in the Ming Dynasty.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the total amount of cultivated land owned by the government and the people in the world is 80,000,000 and 70 million mu.

However, the area of one acre of land in this era was smaller than that of later generations, and one acre of land was about 610 square meters, and the grain output was far less than that of later generations.

The annual yield per mu in the south is more than three stones, and the north is less than three stones, which is still not subject to drought and flood.

In this era, the crops will be greatly affected by the slightest disaster, and the yield will be greatly reduced.

After the simplification of taxation, the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty was relatively clear, and with a clear tax, it was also convenient for the emperor to coordinate and mediate.

The national policy of spreading into acres has been implemented in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in an orderly manner, and is gradually radiating outward.

The reason why it went so smoothly was because the imperial court took into account the interests of the gentry, and they enjoyed a seven-percent discount tax preference, and the conflict of interest was not large.

Sometimes there's nothing wrong with compromise.

If it is really a one-size-fits-all approach, this policy will not be implemented at all.

Even so, after the calculation of the household department, the annual tax of Daming can also increase by more than 30% in the future.

After the spread of the land into the mu, it was first implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people with little land and no land were completely liberated, more and more people went to the city to work, and the handicraft industry also flourished.

Such as: furniture industry, women's red industry, rouge gouache, tailor shop......

It has invisibly brought a wave of tax revenue to Daming, and at the same time, the economy has also developed.

However, the movement of people has also brought a lot of trouble to local officials, and voices opposing the lifting of restrictions have been sent to Beijing in a steady stream.

As soon as people flow, there will be more things, and this situation cannot be avoided.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Di scolded and scolded, with a very high amount of motherhood, "One by one, you know how to complain, why don't you do more work?"

Besides, the people are only limited to their activities in Benzhou County, and they still care about those people, what is there to be wronged?

Damn, I know that I'm blind all day long, I have time to write a recital, and I've done a few things. ”

"Li Qing!"

"The minister is here!"

"You proposed this national policy, and you have to be responsible." Zhu Di snorted angrily, "Do you have a plan?" ”

Li Qing sneered: "Yes, yes, but... The emperor should not agree. ”

"How do you know I won't agree if you don't say it?" Zhu Di didn't have a good breath and said, "Come on." ”

"It's very simple, it's a big deal!"

"You fart ......!" Zhu Di was furious.

At this point, he is the same as his Lao Tzu, they are all plucked by a dime, and even the wording is the same, "Lao Tzu has given them enough money, and there is still a surplus." ”

“…… Your Majesty, don't worry. ”

"Needless to say, it's impossible to raise your money." Zhu Di said categorically, "The money of the court is not blown by the wind, you must be content, and the same is true for officials." ”

After a pause, "You know me, I'm not a stingy person, but money can't be spent like this." ”
