Chapter 98 Advance with the Times

The 7th year of Ming Dynasty in China was the best time and the worst time for farmers.

In this year, the weather in Daming was fairly good, and it was a mature year for grain production.

Taking Huainan as an example, the amount of food stored by ordinary farmers is enough to eat for three years, which is unprecedented.

There is no need to count on the price of grain in the mature year. Farmers all over the world have never imagined that the price of grain in the mature year will be beneficial to them. They only hope that there will be a rebound in food prices after the autumn harvest.

However, what they don't know is-this year's food prices may be the highest in the next ten years.

Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, these three high-yield crops, have been thoroughly adapted to the land of Ming Dynasty thanks to the tireless innovation of the officials of Sinong Temple. The high yield and stability of these three high-yield crops are unheard of in history books.

Ever since the Ming army left the land of Ming Dynasty to fight, the officials of Sinong Temple who were entangled in the army, as long as they saw valuable plants, they would be transported back to Daming as soon as possible and handed over to special personnel for careful cultivation.

Therefore, the number of crops on the land of Ming Dynasty far exceeds that of all dynasties.

In the past, meat, which was scarce in the Ming Dynasty, entered the Central Plains on a large scale after the barbarians in the grasslands were surrendered. The regulations that were written in the law on not eating beef were abolished long ago.

Every morning, a large number of cattle and sheep enter the pass, especially Taiyuan Mansion, which has become a city of cattle and sheep.

Since a person from the Yushan Academy Research Institute further developed saltpeter ice-making technology, some huge fishing boats have been able to carry a large number of ice bricks into the deep sea for fishing. For a while, dried seafood from the south has also entered the Central Plains overwhelmingly. .

When food from all over the world came to Daming, when non-staple food was extremely abundant, the price of food that had been constant for thousands of years finally began to collapse.

The farmers don’t know anything about it...

They are still actively working hard to produce food in large quantities... They plainly believe that... there will be too many foods for a day.

What they didn't know was that when the cattle and mutton from the north entered the Central Plains, there was basically no cost, because the people responsible for herding were basically so-called prisoners of war and slaves.

When the dried seafood from the South entered the Central Plains, there was basically no cost? Because the people who were in charge of fishing at sea were all slaves.

Farmers have grain in their hands, but they don't have money. Even the eggs that were in short supply in the past are also due to breakthroughs in breeding technology. Large-scale breeding plants have begun to appear, and prices have plummeted.

The Seventh Year of China is a year when all people are producing food.

The Chinese people have always been hardworking? As long as those in power give them a safe environment and a relatively fair environment, they can take good care of themselves.

A long time ago, Yun Zhao knew that the best social system has only five requirements? That is, to prevent the rich from gaining power, to prevent the powerful from rampant, to prevent the powerful from corruption, and to prevent the industrious. Poor? Don't let law-abiding people get hurt.

This is the highest goal of the social system, but now, Daming is still far from this goal.

If the farmers can't get on the train of Daming's rapid economic development this time? From now on? They will never catch up.

As an emperor? Yun Zhao should have lived a life of singing and dancing at this time? Because the world has long since calmed down, the people can already eat their stomachs, and the rest of the rich and poor depends entirely on the individual abilities of the people, and he does not need to worry about him as the emperor. Up.

However, this is not possible!

The gap between people is sometimes bigger than the gap between people and pigs.

If society continues to develop so freely, the strong will take everything away, and the weak will have nothing. This result will definitely appear. If the country does not make adjustments at this time, it will not be a dream for Daming to eventually return to the slave society.

"All food-related items entering Daming's mainland will be levied five times the tax rate in accordance with port import practices, no exceptions, no delay!"

“Any wineries that use Daming’s local grains to make wine will reduce the tax rate by 20%. The State Minister’s Office has formulated a reasonable guide price based on the current price of wine, taking the increase of local grain prices as a guide.

At the same time, we should actively support the secondary development of local grain crops such as wheat, rice, millet, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. Whether it is to reduce business taxes or financial support, it must be led by increasing farmers’ income, otherwise severe punishment will be imposed. No loan. "

"All officials of the Daming system should take pride in using and eating the native crops of Daming, quickly cultivate the habit of using and eating native crops of Daming, and stick to it consistently."

"Any local construction projects that are about to be carried out and are currently underway must give priority to hiring local villagers and not use slaves in large numbers, except for projects that are dangerous, hard, and endangering the lives of the people."

"Actively guide farmers to leave the land for production, and support farmers in economic creation. This item will be evaluated by the officials."

"Any farmers who are actively getting rich and have achieved results should focus on publicity and rewards, and I will not hesitate to drink with them."

"all……"

Yun Zhao promulgated a total of ten such decree to take care of farmers...the name is "Ten Articles for Agriculture."

Most of the people who have the ability to drive slaves to graze on the northern grasslands are the military, mainly the army.

Most of the people who have the ability to drive slaves to farm the sea, animal husbandry and fishery at sea, are mostly the military, mainly the navy.

Most of those who are able to transport large amounts of food from Nanyang to the inside of Daming at very low prices are military, mainly expeditionary forces.

To this end, Yun Zhao deliberately wrote a letter to the military generals, hoping that they would understand his purpose of doing so, and at the same time warned the military that it should take combat and guard as the first purpose and not put more effort into business.

At home, the military is not allowed to conduct business. In foreign countries, from now on, it will not open new businesses except for some necessary businesses. This article will be included in the supervision of the Ministry of Supervision. If it is violated, the emperor will not act for them as before. Qian Shaoshao pleaded with Han Lingshan.

Now, it is the time when Yun Zhao's power is at its highest. Whether it is local or military, after receiving the emperor's will, it will be executed as soon as possible, and the quickest implementation of this strategy is a lot of money.

Under the urging of a lot of money, after using up the grain, Tianxia Winery quickly began to purchase a large amount of grain for use in winemaking.

Yun Zhao chose a day for Xie Mu and invited the bigwigs in Yanjing over for dinner, and it was better to persuade them than to persuade them.

When Zhang Guozhu heard that he was coming to eat, he thought it was Yun Zhao who was cooking by himself, but he took a look and found that the chef was busy, so he swallowed the words he was preparing to enter the admonition.

In the past, when Yun Zhao was not the emperor, it was an elegant thing to cook for everyone. Now, if the emperor cooks again, it is not doing business. Cooking a meal will not only serve the purpose of winning people’s hearts, it will also make the emperor. The majesty is sweeping.

Today, everyone eats whole grains.

The focus is on potatoes, corn...

The first dish is deep-fried French fries! Served with tomato sauce.

This thing is nothing to Zhang Guozhu who has long been fed up with the delicacies of mountains and seas. After eating a few bites to give the emperor a bit of face, he asked the emperor for the purpose of making this dish.

"You have to eat more in the future!"

Yun Zhao took another piece of French fries to get some tomato sauce and ate it. There was too much sugar in the tomato sauce. Yun Zhao shook his head to express his dissatisfaction.

"Develop a way to quickly consume potatoes and tomatoes for the people who grow potatoes and tomatoes. After you go back, you will also find ways to make similar foods and promote them."

"We are very busy."

Zhang Guozhu flatly refused, he still thinks that it is better to perform their duties.

Yun Zhao took a bite of corn chips and said lazily: "We have to adjust our mentality."

Han Lingshan said: "How to adjust?"

Yun Zhao sighed and said: "Return to the mentality of the first king to rule the world."

Qian Shaoshao was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth and chanted: "The holy king is on the top, and the people who are not hungry are not able to cultivate but eat, weave and cloth, in order to open his wealth.

Therefore, Yao and Yu have nine years of water, Tang has seven years of drought, and those who donate to the barren after the death of the country will have a lot of livestock and prepare them first.

Today, the whole country is one, and the people of the land do not avoid Tang and Yu~www.wuxiahere.com~ because of the floods and droughts that have been killed by natural disasters for several years, but what about those who have not been able to reach it?

The land has a legacy, the people have extra energy, the land of the valley has not been fully cultivated, the benefits of the mountains have not been fully recovered, and the people of wandering and food have not yet returned to agriculture..."

The crowd listened to Qian Shaoshao recite Chao Cuo's "On Gui Su Shu", and looked at Qian Shaoshao like a fool. They did not expect that Qian Shaoshao would use Han Dynasty's insights to explain Daming's current political affairs.

This made Qian Shaoshao a little embarrassed. After reciting the first paragraph casually, his voice became quieter, and he finally became inaudible...

"Do you have a good memory? As far as the passage you just recited, at least two words were missed. There were three errors in segmentation, and there were at least seven errors in the sound.

You, someone outside the 30th place, who gave you the courage to recite ancient texts in front of us, and use this **** and unreasonable truth to persuade us? "

"Do you know that when Chao Cuo was writing this article, the most important argument raised was-emphasize agriculture and restrain business?"

"Do you know that business tax currently accounts for more than 60% of the tax in my Ming Dynasty, almost comparable to that of the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, what do you mean by emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business? Are you going to return to ancient times or are you going to kill us before? All the hard work?"

Xu Wuxiang pouted his lips in disdain first, and then began to comment on how Qian Shaoshao was unlearned.

Seeing that Qian Shaoshao was about to be attacked by others, Yun Zhao waved his hand and said: "I said that when the ancestors ruled the world, they focused on guiding, not governing.

In the future, our governance methods will need to be changed, from governance to guidance and finally to the purpose of serving the people.

In other words, we have to position ourselves as a leader and server in the future, not as a judge or supervisor.

This is what I want to tell you. "
