Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth grain storage
Seven or eight hundred pounds?
After hearing this data, everyone's eyes widened, and they didn't care about drinking anymore, and they all crowded forward.
"Impossible! How can it be as heavy as 700 kilograms?"
"That's right, even if this is food from heaven, it can't be as much as seven or eight hundred kilograms, right?"
"Isn't that right? If there is so much food in one acre of land, then people will starve to death in the future! Just plant a few acres of land and it will be enough for the whole family!"
"Yes, with an output of seven to eight hundred kilograms, we can have food and drink this year. Then won't the people be able to live a prosperous life?"
Today's people are all extremely diligent.
I work in the fields by myself from morning till night. I get up early and stay late, without any sign of laziness.
If there really is such an output, the people will definitely become rich gradually!
But, is there really such a high-yielding grain? Why do they sound so unlikely?
Naturally, everyone felt a little unconvinced, so they looked at the person in front of them with deep doubts in their eyes.
You can't lie about this matter. Once it is true, this matter will be too important to their Xinghan Empire.
"Of course it's true. I personally harvested the grain. My dear, every acre of land is filled with golden grain. It's extremely delicious. The court's kindhearted people even gave us some to eat!"
When he said this, he closed his eyes with a feeling of enjoying the memories, "You don't know, that food is so delicious, I have never eaten it before."
Corn is still very delicious, especially for someone like him who has never eaten it before.
When the people on the side heard this, they suddenly became commotion.
Judging from the other party's appearance, it doesn't look like he is lying in his words!
If it were true, that would be incredible!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at each other.
The scholar on the side flushed with excitement.
"God bless me, Xinghan. The founder of the country was a wise king. He treated the people very well and exempted so many taxes. Now that we have this food, this is really protecting our Xinghan! It is definitely blessing our Xinghan Yongchang!"
"
"Yes, if this food is real, then our Xinghan Empire will only become stronger and stronger in the future, and we will definitely be able to make the world surrender to us!"
At this time, even the scholars knew that what the current Holy Emperor likes most is to engage in such things as expanding the territory.
Under the propaganda of countless people, everyone felt that the expansion of territory was something that should be done, and no one felt that it should not be done.
Therefore, the Confucian scholars now have a hint of bellicosity.
"I also heard that next year, the imperial court will distribute these grain seeds so that people can cultivate them. The price of grain is extremely cheap, much cheaper than rice."
"If there was such cheap food and such a yield, people would probably plant it."
Everyone was talking one by one.
I am already full of longing for the future.
In such a small glacier climate, they felt for the first time that the small glacier was not so scary.
I even feel that this small glacier is nothing more than that.
It didn't take long for the news of the high-yield grain to spread.
Some merchants were moved when they heard the news.
If this thing is true, I am afraid that food prices will not rise in the future.
In this case, it would be appropriate to sell some of the food in your own granary.
They didn't know that at this time, countless seeds had already begun to be allocated to various places.
At this time, we have already begun to deal with next year's spring plowing, which is a top priority for the court.
.....
"How's it going? Has the news spread?"
Lu Chensheng was sitting in the imperial study room and asked the minister beside him.
"Back to the Holy Emperor, the news has already spread. I think with this news, when the imperial court issues the imperial edict, the people will be more receptive to new food planting and will also start farming."
When news spread among the people, it was deliberately spread by the imperial court, with the purpose of allowing the people to accept it in advance.
In this way, when the imperial court issues instructions, the people will accept them much more quickly.
"Well, that's good. All the grain seeds have been distributed and must be completed before the autumn harvest. Then we can just issue an order for the people to go to the Yamen to buy seeds."
Lu Chensheng looked down at the memorial and spoke one by one.
The ministers naturally responded in succession.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has become a lot richer this year. There are still many cities that are extremely poor. Let's allocate more money to support construction."
Lu Chensheng rubbed his forehead when he said this. Speaking of which, there are only a few wealthy places in the entire Xinghan Empire.
Most of the remaining places are extremely poor, and the people live in extreme poverty.
Even if too much taxation is not required, this poverty situation cannot be improved all of a sudden.
The imperial court will naturally help.
Li Daifu naturally had no reason not to agree, so he replied, "Your Majesty, we have already allocated a lot of funds, but we still hope that Your Majesty can send Wu Yanwei to supervise one or two things. Don't let the money be allocated. If you don't look at it then,
What effect will it achieve?”
This money is not just for officials to do face-saving projects.
For example, it is only used to repair houses and make the whole city look more beautiful. More, it still needs to be used in practical applications.
"Not to mention that Wei will supervise it."
Lu Chensheng replied, this is what Bu Yanwei should do, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.
Li Daifu stopped talking and stopped talking after mentioning something.
"In addition, since the Ministry of Household Affairs has become a lot richer this year, it has allocated three million taels of silver to purchase grain and store it in the granary. In the next few days, the Ministry of Household Affairs will find a way to have tens of billions of tons in the granary.
Just save food."
In the past few years, because the national treasury was empty, there was really no money to buy grain and store it.
Lu Chensheng put this matter aside, but it won't work this year, and the treasury has been enriched a lot.
Lu Chensheng needs to store grain in the granary. According to the current population of hundreds of millions in the Xinghan Empire, storing tens of billions of tons of grain is not too much.
Moreover, according to a survey by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the number of births in the Xinghan Empire has begun to skyrocket this year.
So far this year alone, there have been 10 million babies born!
I think there will be more next year.
