Chapter 422 Xu Cong at the peak of his life(1/2)
Time flies.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
A sound of exclamation and ecstasy came from a farmhouse outside Batian City.
"The yield per mu is 706 kilograms, which is twice that of high-quality fields!"
"It consumes a little more manpower and waters more manure, but the reward is very gratifying."
"A month, it really takes only one month to mature and harvest. This... How do you believe it? Even wondering if you used tricks and tricks to deliberately deceive the whole country. I heard that some immortals have the ability to make plants and trees wither and flourish in an instant, but... there are thousands of acres of fertile fields here. Who has such powerful magic to cast spells on so many fields?"
"Hahahahahaha! The country of Tan, our country of Tan is about to fly, and the country that opposes us will die in a few years. The people of our country of Tan will never starve to death because of famine! The harvested stems can raise 10 or 20 horses, and can form a cavalry army of millions."
The prince of the Tan Kingdom, Yan Tiange, faced thousands of acres of black rye, immediately laughed wildly, laughing like a nerve, and his eyes were full of excitement and heat.
It seems like I have seen the opportunity to do something.
His eyes at Xu Cong were filled with satisfaction and gentleness. After staring for a long time, Xu Cong couldn't help but tighten his anus and quickly turned his head aside, not daring to look at him, for fear of being targeted by him.
Of course, the happiest one is the emperor of the Altar Kingdom, Yan Wuji.
"Enter Xu, no, Mr. Xu, whatever reward you want, as long as I can take it out, I will definitely give it to you! I wish you a thank you for sending me such a god seed. No matter where you go in the future, you will be the highest distinguished guest in the altar country!"
Yan Wuji laughed and became generous.
Looking at Xu Cong at this moment is extremely pleasing to the eye, as if he has discovered a treasure.
Because in addition to this thousand acres of mature rye, there are also high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes. It is said that the yield can easily reach more than 1,000 kilograms, and it is very drought-resistant, and can be planted on the hillside, but the growth cycle is slightly longer.
There are also some vegetables and fruit seeds that can greatly enrich the dining tables of Chinese people.
In short, after Xu Cong came to Tan Kingdom, the country will undergo earth-shaking changes in the agricultural field, and even changes to traditional customs that have been continued for tens of thousands of years.
The value is far higher than several gold mountains.
"Your Majesty, I am still the ones I said before. I just hope that Xu and the two countries will establish friendly diplomatic relations in the future, communicate with each other, establish consulates, and form brotherly countries that are close to each other, and are close to each other." Xu Cong bowed and said calmly.
"But, no problem, I agree. From now on, the two countries will be brotherly countries!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Cong was overjoyed and completed the task assigned to him by his family. He was successfully completed and couldn't help but be very happy.
So in the next few months.
While helping to vigorously promote rye cultivation within Tanguo, Xu Cong also greatly strengthened cooperation between the two countries.
Yan Wuji gave a two-acre mansion as Xu Guo’s diplomatic consulate.
The opening of the trade route was completely agreed. After a while, a commercial team composed of thousands of kodo beasts will enter the middle of the Tan Kingdom to trade goods and communicate with each other.
also!
What made Xu Cong even more flattered was that after the rye planting area quickly exceeded one million acres, the emperor of the Tan Kingdom was getting better and better with him, allowing him to reach the peak of his life.
Princess!
Yan Wuji gave a 90-point princess to marry Xu Cong, making him the prince-consort of the Tan Kingdom.
Not long after, the planting area of rye exceeded 10 million mu, which helped the Tan Kingdom get out of the food crisis, seeing that Xu Cong was quite talented, Yan Wuji even named him the Great Agricultural Order, making him a fourth-rank official, who was responsible for farming and leveraging his talents.
Since he was so respected, Xu Cong immediately reciprocated and introduced some advanced modern management systems, applied them to agricultural management, attached importance to the construction of water conservancy irrigation facilities, organized human resources to overhaul the reservoir, invented a variety of fertilizers and pesticides, and played a huge role in improving agricultural output.
And teach and promote the technology of using rye stems, raising chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep and horses, so that farmers can not only have food to eat, but also have a lot of meat to eat.
A variety of advanced management methods have been implemented.
After the caravans of the two countries were opened, a number of advanced industrial and agricultural technologies were introduced, and mills, bakeries, noodle shops, textile factories, chicken farms, milk factories, soap factories, cement fiberglass iron and steel plants were opened... More than a dozen companies under their name, all of which brought huge profits.
Of course, Xu Cong knew the principle of dividing cakes, so he did not choose to eat alone. Instead, he asked the emperor to take more than half of his shares, and finally opened a large bank to control the financial system.
In the fifth year after Xu Cong arrived in Tan Kingdom, there was an extraordinary drastic change in this country.
The per capita grain output doubled from less than 300 kilograms to more than 700 kilograms.
The per capita meat consumption reaches as much as 70 kilograms per year, and some people can afford meat every day.
The economy has also developed tremendously, and the GDP of Tanguo has increased by at least more than triple within five years.
The country's fiscal revenue has soared from less than 100 million gold to 220 million gold, which is higher than its historical high.
Not to mention, the emperor of the Tan Kingdom and the factory bank had a profit dividend of about 200 million gold... This money belonged to the emperor's personal. The emperor, who used to be very short of money, is now rich and spends money like soil.
Because of money, the emperor lived a more luxurious life.
There are as many as ten palaces under construction at the same time.
Two more national beauty pageants were held, and 3,000 beauties were obtained, and they were enriched into the palace.
The army expanded to 3 million people, all equipped with elite armor, heavy steel crossbows, and a large amount of food and meat were eaten. The combat power rose rapidly. The two conflicts with neighboring countries were both great victory and occupied more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory.
Multiple fronts were built at the same time.
Not only has the finances of Tan Kingdom not collapsed, but the money in the treasury is increasing, which makes it feel like it is endless to spend money.
And this is all Xu Cong's contribution. He brought countless wealth to the emperor of the Tan Kingdom under the environment of countless corrupt officials from all over the Tan Kingdom.
Even ten large-scale palace projects can be eaten, and more than 10 million civilians have been hired.
In short, Yan Wuji never had any trouble with money anymore, and allowed him to live a refined life that was ten times more luxurious than he was at his peak.
So Xu Cong was reused even more.
Given his outstanding financial management ability, the emperor also made him the position of property minister, specializing in making money and making a lot of money. The emperor was mainly responsible for enjoying and constantly upgrading his enjoyment.
In order to win over, Yan Wuji even broke the rules and married a princess to him, making him the first son-in-law to marry two princesses. He strongly delegated power, and only one requirement: he must do things well and make the emperor never short of money.
pressure!
Xu Cong, who is at the peak of his life, felt a lot of pressure.
He did not expect that an emperor who was completely trapped in pleasure would become so powerful and terrifying to spend money.
Less than 300 million gold.
350 million gold.
400 million gold.
480 million gold.
590 million gold.
In just five years, the emperor's expenses doubled.
even so.
Xu Cong's speed of making money was still barely keeping up with the emperor's speed of spending money.
After all, what he has been doing over the years is to keep making the cake bigger.
In addition, several large-scale garden and palace projects in the royal family recruited millions of workers, paid high wages to workers, and built a large number of official roads to promote logistics and trade, opened hundreds of brick kiln factories and cement factories, and guided workers to build comfortable brick and tile houses. They started real estate nationwide and made countless money.
Even if the emperor spends too much money occasionally, which leads to the lack of money in the vault, Xu Cong would take out some of it from his pocket and advance it on his behalf, and finally support it.
The people have also lived a good life, with a lot of job opportunities, the output in the fields is extremely high, and the speed of making money in factories is even more scary.
Some officials were fed and they did not expect them to do good things, but there were no too many bad things, and all parties reached a balance.
The Kingdom of Tan has become a vibrant world, where everyone has enough food, clothes and live well, just like a hot land of kingdom.
only……
Although Xu Cong, who is at the peak of his life, shocked everyone and was in full swing for a while,... no matter how production efficiency is improved, how good it is among the people.
He still underestimated some human aspects.
700 million gold.
800 million gold.
900 million gold.
1 billion gold.
In the next few years, Emperor Yan Wuji's spending speed increased with an exaggerated amount of 100 million gold per year.
He began to pursue immortality, took out a lot of money, visited famous families in Xianshan, and licked them crazy.
The second is to launch an unjust war, sending more than 3 million elite troops every year to attack neighboring countries, conquer territory, force their people to destroy their country.
Therefore, the annual fiscal expenditure exceeded the one billion gold mark!
More than a decade ago, the total national economic production of the Tan Kingdom was less than one billion gold, but now it is the emperor alone, spending the wealth created by the whole country.
Moreover, the hundreds of millions of gold coins spent on those immortal mountains and those who pursue immortality and visit Xianshan are spent on those immortal mountains and ordinary people will not get any benefits.
In order to expand military force abroad, except for soldiers who fight, they can obtain some seizures and some land in the war, but most ordinary people do not get much benefits. Instead, they have to take out money and grain to serve labor.
If you are not lucky, you may die.
Also, because the itinerary cannot be completed and the cake cannot be distributed reasonably, the economic growth rate that year fell instantly and even regressed.
This will definitely not work!
To be continued...
