Chapter 803: The Arena
"It's cotton seeds, and it's a lot more comfortable than leather clothes, and it's cheap. It is a subtropical crop that can be tried to be cultivated in areas of the north close to Great Summer. Ren Baqian put a few bags in front of Ge Yihong.
Now that those high-yield crops have been promoted to the entire territory of Dayao, even the land of Tianjing has traces of these crops, and the food problem has been initially solved, and the field and animal husbandry department can also put their energy into more places.
Cotton, naturally, is the primary cash crop, the market is vast, and it is closely related to people's livelihood.
After all, the weather in Dayao is extremely hot from beginning to end of the year, and the clothes made of cotton cloth are much cooler and more breathable than leather clothes, and at the same time they are finer than coarse cloth, and after a large number of plantings, the price may be lower than the current price of coarse cloth in Dayao, which is attractive enough.
Whether it is for your own use or sold to Izumo, it can create high value.
Of course, animal skin clothes, although hot to wear, also have the advantage - sturdy.
The mountain people fought with beasts of prey every day, and the sturdy and locally sourced animal skins were impossible to obsolete for a long time.
Cotton has a very high status in Ren Baqian's heart, but it is not so important in Ge Yihong's eyes. After all, he prefers crops like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins to his clothes.
Ren Baqian guessed when he saw his expression, but where there is demand, there is development, when cotton cloth appeared in the market, and as the price of some crops began to fall, Ge Yihong knew the value of cotton.
"It's sugar cane, it's as sweet as honey, and most importantly, it's a good fruit, and it can also be used to make sugar. ”
"Sugar?" Ge Yihong keenly grasped the word, "the kind brought by the Izumo merchants?"
"Well, that's right, and better than theirs. Ren Baqian said confidently.
In fact, how did he know what kind of sugar the Izumo merchant had brought...... Honey has always been used in the palace.
However, limited to this era, Ren Baqian felt that the sugar of the Izumo merchant would definitely not reach the level of white sugar, so he was so confident.
Sugarcane is not only a fruit, but most importantly, it can give you an extra spice in the market, and you can open a sugar factory yourself.
He has enough confidence in the prospects of the sugar factory.
The empress herself was able to feed half of the sugar factory.
He had all the names in mind, and no one sued him for infringement anyway.
After confirming that Ge Yihong paid enough attention to sugarcane, Ren Baqian took out the last thing, which was also the one thing he valued the most.
"This is sunflower and peanuts, the fruit can be used as food, the yield per mu is about 500 catties, it can also be used to extract oil, not as greasy as animal fat, and the price is also very low. This is important and must be arranged as soon as possible. Ren Baqian admonished.
With melon seeds, Ren Baqian felt that in the future, he might often see two groups of people fighting on the street, and watching the scene of the lively crowd eating melon seeds and peanuts in a circle.
But he didn't say what he really thought, because the other party didn't understand it.
What Ren Baqian really wants is biodiesel.
Although the steam train was still in the warehouse outside the city, Ren Yachien had already set his sights on another product that had changed the times.
Not a car, but a tractor!
In the entire territory of Dayao, there are only three or four million ancient people outside the sixty thousand mountains. You must know that Izumo is only half the size of Dayao, but it has a population of seventy or eighty million.
Spreading this bit of population over such a large area of land is like spilling beans into the desert.
And these three or four million people not only have to graze cattle and farm, but also all kinds of factories that now require labor.
Whether it's a salt well, or a steel mill, or a cannery.
There is also the supply logistics of the army, the militia of the cities...... Three or four million people sprinkled on such a large area of land is like spilling beans into the desert.
In order to solve this situation, it is necessary to transfer part of the population from the 60,000 mountains on the one hand, and liberate part of the population from the fields on the other.
Tractors are an excellent choice.
Sturdy, easy to maintain, strong throughput, capable of farm work, and even able to pull goods. Although it is far worse than the car, it is a race between the turtle and the snail compared to the ox cart.
And Da Yao's terrible land is also less affected by the tractor than the ox cart.
In Ren Baqian's eyes, there is nothing more suitable for the current situation of Dayao than a tractor.
Even the manufacture of tractors is not too much of a problem.
The only problem is energy.
There is no clue to oil yet, so biodiesel becomes the only option.
Therefore, in Ren Baqian's view, these two crops are the top priority.
"Got it, I'll arrange it. Ge Yihong saw that Ren Baqian said solemnly, so he agreed.
The value of Ren 8000 has long been reflected in various new products or technologies such as glass, high-yield crops, solar furnaces, and steam engines. What he values so much must be a good thing.
Although Ge Yihong didn't know Ren Baqian's purpose, his thoughts were as simple as the above.
At worst, it can be used as food.
There is always a lot of variety.
Later, Ren Baqian took out soybeans, which are also a very valuable crop, which can squeeze oil, make tofu, tofu brain, make soybean sauce, and make soy milk......
With sugar cane, Ren Baqian is looking forward to the discussion about whether soy milk and tofu brain should be sweet or salty.
The war between the sweet and salty parties spreads from the earth to the other world.
The only problem is that the empress is the biggest supporter of the Sweet Party.
Leaving Tian Muji, when Ren Yaqian and the guards returned to the palace, they encountered a brawl again.
But this time it's a little different from the usual ones - it's a knife.
With the capture of Izumo, the abundance of iron ore allows Daiyao to no longer have to worry about the source of his weapons. The recuperation of weapons seized in the direction of Izumo and Ottritsu, combined with the production of the Damoyama iron mine, made steel products begin to appear on the market, and the price dropped considerably.
A large number of weapons appeared on the market, and the first problem has already appeared.
The brawls of the ancient people have evolved from fists to knives.
Ren Baqian sat on his mount and looked condescendingly at the brawl in front of him surrounded by the crowd, frowned, and said to the guards: "Send them to the Department of Public Security." ”
"Yes, sir. A guard behind him jumped directly into the middle of the field, and pressed the two of them to the ground and rubbed them in three or two strokes.
Seeing that there was no excitement, the people around who were in high spirits dispersed one after another.
Ren Baqian frowned and returned to the empress's bedroom, several female officials were measuring the size of the empress's clothes around her, and the empress did not look displeased, allowing them to take rulers around her.
After standing aside and waiting for a long time, the female officers came over and measured Ren Baqian's whole body again.
"Your Majesty, is this ......?" Ren Baqian didn't react a little.
The empress gave him a blank look, turned around and picked up the tablet to watch the TV series.
Ren Baqian's mind turned around before he figured out that this was probably the costume for the wedding.
After a few female officials left, Ren Baqian sat down next to the empress, and took a look, the empress seemed to be watching a fairy tale love magic action ethics sci-fi TV series?
Ren Baqian cleared his throat: "Your Majesty, when Fang Caichen came back, he saw an incident, and the minister felt that it was a not very good phenomenon. ”
"Oh?" the empress didn't want to pay attention to him, but when she heard the last sentence, she turned her head directly.
When Ren Baqian said what he saw just now, the empress looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
"They're using knives!" Ren Baqian looked serious.
"And then?" the Empress continued to look at him, as if she could discern a flower in his face.
......
Ren Baqian had to admit that the matter of using the knife was not as serious as it seemed to the empress.
This is the difference in thinking between the world in which martial arts is respected and the modern era of peace.
"Knives are more likely to cause unnecessary casualties than fists. Ren Baqian said seriously. Especially the ancient people are the kind of people who are easy to get hot.
"But I can't let them not carry weapons!" said the empress casually.
The importance of weapons in the hearts of the ancient people who fought for their lives against fierce beasts was not something that Ren Baqian could understand.
Ren Baqian really had this idea at the beginning, and implemented a knife ban.
Even if it's just in the city.
However, Ren Baqian had another idea in his mind, and he felt that it was more feasible.
"Your Majesty, it's not a good idea for them to fight in the streets every day over a little thing. "Ren 8000.
The empress thought for a moment: "The imperial court doesn't have a very good way to do this. Even if they will be whipped, they will not get out of bed for three days, and they will all be left behind when the blood is up. As for being too harsh, it is not appropriate, after all, fighting and courage are the foundation of the ancient clan. ”
Fighting in Arashiki is a whip, the kind of whip covered with barbs, and three lashes can tear off several pieces of meat.
But this can't stop their enthusiasm for PK in the slightest.
"So it's better to be blocked. "Ren 8000.
Seeing that the empress was looking at herself, she continued: "Establish a fighting arena in the city, or a martial arts arena, a gladiatorial arena. When a conflict arises, it must be resolved in the arena and must be paid. If there is a fight in the city in private, the punishment is even more severe. ”
Since three lashes are not enough to sober them up, then thirty lashes are enough.
Thirty lashes or go to the arena to resolve the conflict, they will have a clear judgment.
And the way to the arena was enough for them to sober up.
Even if they still have to fight, under the constraints of the arena, there will be no casualties easily.
And with the number of fights in Lancheng every day, as long as a little money is collected each time, Ren Baqian feels that he is very hopeful of generating income than the fighting field!
Ren Baqian told her thoughts, and the empress's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I didn't expect this, it doesn't need to force the blood of the people, but it can also improve public security." Tomorrow I will bring this up in the morning, and there will be no twists and turns. ”
