Chapter 924: The Emperor is not in a hurry, but the Consort is
Qin Mo sighed, he didn't expect Lao Qin to be such a person even though he had a grandson.
He took the hands of Li Lizhen and Li Jingya, "Let's go home and give my father a grandson!"
On the fifth day after their marriage, Li Jiange sent an urgent report, which was the data on the re-measurement and division of land in Lingnan.
Qin Mo found Li Shilong who was fishing and said, "Father, this is the land measurement result of Lingnan."
Li Shilong put down his fishing rod and looked at it, "There are more than 200 million acres of cultivated land in Lingnan!"
He was also surprised. In the early days of the founding of Daqian, there were nearly 4 million households in the country. Up to now, there are only more than 4.5 million households, or a population of more than 20 million.
The number of registered acres is only nearly 400 million acres, which is far less than the 520 million acres in Dazhou.
"Is it a lot? This is still a small amount." Qin Mo said: "If you think about it, there are so many counties and prefectures in Lingnan, including Annan County. If they were completely developed, the number would probably double.
Annan County alone, if developed, would have no less than 100 million acres of fertile land.
Lingnan is a vast territory with few people, and there is land but no one there. Therefore, we need to vigorously move people here to fill up Lingnan.
In the future, Lingnan and Jiangnan will be the most important."
"Jingyun, I don't like to hear what you are saying." Yu Boshi on the side said: "According to you, the north is not important?"
"Did I say it's not important?" Qin Mo said: "The north has been cultivated for thousands of years. Although there are still many resources, the potential is far less than that in the south. Moreover, the south is rich in water resources and water transportation is easy.
Lingnan and Jiangnan both rely on the sea. Sea trade is so booming now, and there are no aristocratic families here. If we don't cultivate it properly, after a few years, powerful people will still be born."
"Since ancient times, the center of gravity has been in the north. Is it possible that you still want His Majesty to move the capital to the south?" Du Jingming said.
"Which of your ears heard me talk about moving the capital?" Qin Mo was drunk, "However, the capital is indeed not suitable to be the capital now, but it can be moved to Youzhou."
"Have you really thought about this?" Du Jingming's eyes widened.
"I just said it casually." Qin Mocai didn't want to move over. It was so tiring to come all the way, "Okay, are you two bothered by what you are doing?
How about you tell me to leave?"
"Don't talk, let Jingyun speak!" Li Shilong gestured "yeah", and Gao Shilian quickly put the cigarette between his two fingers and lit it with a fire stick.
"Your Majesty, smoke less, Prince Consort said, smoking too much is bad for the lungs!" Gao Shilian reminded.
"I have recovered now, stop talking nonsense!" Li Shilong has been abstaining from alcohol for more than half a year, and he is afraid of it.
If it weren't for Da Qianchun's addiction later, he would have gone crazy.
Gao Shilian smiled bitterly and returned to his original position.
"Father, in fact, there is still great potential for farming in the south.
And if all the cultivated land in the country is developed, including Wozhou and Annan, it is estimated that there will be no less than 2.2 billion acres of cultivated land!
I remember that the existing cultivated land in Daqian does not seem to exceed 400 million, so there is still a lot of cultivated land that can be developed.
However, what we in Dagan implement is the equalized land system. According to the equalized land system, one household will not be able to use 100 acres in a hundred years, so the cultivated land in Dagan will not be enough to divide.
The current population of Daqian is less than 20 million, but in a hundred years, it will not be a problem for the population to reach 50 to 60 million.
There are more than 10 million households, which means more than one billion acres of farmland.
Think about it, is this land enough?"
Li Shilong frowned, "At least it's enough now, can I still manage things a hundred years from now?"
After a hundred years, the land will probably have been cultivated by then."
"Innocent!" Qin Mo said: "With the current medical level, some diseases such as wind and cold are no longer a problem.
There are also potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are high-yielding and drought-tolerant crops. After the world is stabilized, the population will skyrocket.
I said 50 to 60 million people, which is still conservative.
One hundred years from now, the population is estimated to be 100 million.
According to a household of five people, that is 20 million households, and a household of 100 acres requires 2 billion acres of land!
There is simply not enough land in the country to allocate.
Even if there is a lot of land overseas, it will all be divided at some point, right?"
"Qin Mo, if you think the land equalization system is not good, just say so!" Ji Zhisheng said.
“I’m not saying that the equalization system is bad. It’s certainly good now and can stabilize people’s hearts. But over time, problems will inevitably arise.
Not to mention a hundred years, within thirty years, the population will inevitably explode.
So, what I mean is that it would be better to improve the equalization system!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Dou Xuanling couldn't help but remind: "Jingyun, this is no small matter. The equal land system is a stable and involved system. It is the foundation of the country. If you change it at will, trouble will happen!"
"The war in Lingnan has just ended, and people's hearts have just calmed down. Why don't you just cause trouble?" Yu Boshi was the first to object, "It's better to rest and recuperate. Wait ten years before talking about this matter again.
Better."
Li Shilong is not willing to bother now. Mainly Qin Mo said that a hundred years is too far away. He believes that his descendants will definitely be able to handle it by then, so why should he worry about it.
Moreover, the equal land system stabilized people's hearts, and he did not want to cause trouble at this juncture.
"Bo Shi is right, reforming the equal land system is a big deal, we should wait for two years!" Li Shilong waved his hand.
"Okay, it's not my world anyway. A hundred years later, I'll be done with it. Why should I worry about it? The emperor is not in a hurry and the consort is!"
Qin Mo was rarely in a good mood. Now that he thought about this matter, he wanted to remind him and see if he could solve it.
Moreover, he really has a suitable solution and can even make these farmers rich quickly!
But luckily for them, they didn't pay attention to any of them. They were really in a state of disbelief.
At this time, Li Yuan, who had been silent until now, snorted and said: "Jingyun, come here, don't tell those stupid kings and lazy ministers. It has only been two good days and your tail is already in the air.
Just tell me, I'll be happy to hear it!"
"Forget it, old man, I don't need to say that. In a hundred years, we will all be dead, no matter how big the flood is."
Li Shilong was embarrassed. He was called a fool just because he wanted to be lazy, but he didn't dare to talk back.
Yu Boshi and others were speechless and speechless.
"Jingyun, keep talking, I'm listening!"
"Forget it, it's rare for me to take notice of you, but it's better for you to listen to it or not. You immediately got angry and forgot about my idea!" Qin Mo curled up in the recliner, "I'm really too worried about you.
There are so many crouching dragons and phoenixes around us, such a trivial matter cannot be solved casually!"
"Qin Mo, don't be so weird here. Without Butcher Zhang, how can we still eat pigs with hair on them?" Gongsun Wuji said: "I have actually thought about the problem you mentioned!"
"Zhao Guogong, please tell me!" Du Jingming would not go fishing anymore.
