Chapter 268 Officials Go to the Countryside (6)
The aristocratic families would never have thought that Chen Fei provided this method to increase grain output. It seems that their short-term income has increased a lot, but for long-term development, they will sooner or later be consumed by such high grain output. Chen Fei provided this farming technology in later generations, which seemed to increase the grain output of the aristocratic families, but it was also increasing the productivity of farmland. Once the land productivity increases, the grain will inevitably feed more people.
Although on the surface, the people can only obtain part of the food, and not all of them can belong to the people. However, even if the output is increased, more and more people will be able to formally start learning cultural courses, and finally increase the literacy rate of the people, and the cultural popularity rate can also be increased. Even if aristocratic families obtain food, it is impossible to digest it all internally, and most of the food must enter the market. According to the laws of economics, these foods will actually enter the people's pockets sooner or later. If the total amount of food increases, it will be able to feed more non-agricultural populations and even more literati who do not work.
So Chen Fei knew that the increase in grain output meant that the literacy rate of ordinary people began to increase greatly. As long as Chen Fei vigorously promoted the development of Qiushi Academy across the country on the other hand, it would be greatly increased until the popular education of the people. More and more poor people can study, which can slowly squeeze the aristocratic families out of the officialdom. If there is no ≯∝, ww∽w. With Chen Fei, the process might take hundreds of years, but with Chen Fei, it might be enough for decades. Zu Meng, aristocratic families, did not expect that although the food seemed to increase, it was equivalent to starting to dig his own grave.
Ancient people did not study economics, and even disdained to study economics. Chen Fei's biggest advantage is that it is much stronger than ancient people. Even if Chen Fei had not studied economics specifically, his high school education from later generations was enough to cope with the people of this era. Especially macroeconomics. No one in this era can be better than Chen Fei.
"Ma Zhou, there are some things that will make you busy during this period!" Chen Fei said.
Ma Zhou came over immediately and asked, "Chen Jun, what are you going to do with me?"
"During this period, you will lead Tian Cao's clerk to be responsible for promoting agricultural technology. It won't take long to get a complete wheat planting process for you. With this process, it will be possible to increase the yield by at least 20%, or even 50%. You are responsible for leading the clerk to work, and then when all the people in the countryside are deployed, your task will be completed!" Chen Fei said.
Ma Zhou took the initiative to ask in a low voice: "Don't you pay attention to the affairs of the Cui family?"
Chen Fei immediately shook his head and said, "The old man of the Cui family has not had much time recently. I don't know why, and I'm angry. If nothing unexpected happens, it's probably time for three or four months. Now the Cui family is full of solemnity, as if a storm is coming. So we can take advantage of this time to complete the deployment as soon as possible. They don't have time to take care of our affairs. As for the Cui family, Cui Fu's affairs are just to do their best and leave their fate. Now Cui Fu's strength is already a three-legged tripod with the eldest son and the second son. It's not certain who will win. Next, we have to look at Miss Cui Xiuxiu's own efforts."
Chen Fei thought that he could help Cui Xiuxiu, that's all. As for whether Cui Xiuxiu could help his father seize the position of head of the Cui family, it depends on Cui Xiuxiu's own ability. Chen Fei couldn't help much. Cui Xiuxiu should have started to implement the method of tea and horse trade with the Turks, maybe he should have gone to the Turks now. As for this method of tea and horse trade, although Chen Fei was sure that the Turks would need it. However, the specific benefits that Cui Xiuxiu could get depends on how many abilities the people sent by Cui Xiuxiu could get from the Turks.
Now that Cui Xiuxiu has mastered the path of tea and horse trade, it means that it will make huge profits. She can buy family members in large quantities. So this tea and horse trade will be the last killer move. If it succeeds, Cui Xiuxiu's father Cui Fu can become the head of the Cui family. If it fails, it means there is no hope. Chen Fei's trump card has been released, so how can Cui Xiuxiu use this trump card? Whether it can be used well is Cui Xiuxiu's own business. Anyway, the matter of the Cui family does not have a real pain with Chen Fei, and Chen Fei doesn't care much. Anyway, it is Chen Fei who has completed the task assigned by Li Shimin. If it fails, it is nothing, and the unlucky one is Cui Fu. As for Chen Fei, then he will pat his butt and go back to Chang'an. Who cares about the Cui family?
"But, the matter of the Cui family was assigned by the emperor!" Ma Zhou still wanted to say something.
However, Chen Fei immediately said: "We have tried our best and will not owe the emperor anything. Next, we should also plan our own affairs, which can be considered to be our ideals. In my eyes, this government is more important than helping the emperor to work on the Cui family. Also, Ma Zhou, what is your ideal?"
"My ideal is to do something grand!" said Ma Zhou.
"That's good, we are all like this! My requirements are not high, and everyone can realize their ideals through their own efforts. This is what I think. This is what I want to serve the people and help them realize their dreams." Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei did not put the affairs of the Cui family first, because the Cui family was not enough to influence Chen Fei's planning of the historical process. In Chen Fei's eyes, the world should develop according to his own plan. The Cui family will either follow the general trend or be completely swept into the garbage dump of history.
Only then did Ma Zhou realize how extraordinary Chen Fei's ideals were. Chen Fei's ideals were much greater than many people, and others were for their own interests, but Chen Fei was really a person who worked hard for the welfare of the people of the world. Ma Zhou felt that he was worth following such a lofty ideal.
Chen Fei no longer intends to be a rich man in the world, because since he becomes an official, he will be inseparable from the rich man. However, he can get a title, allowing Chen Fei to have no worries about food and clothing for his whole life, and even pass it on to his descendants, so he is not afraid of the lack of economic conditions at all. Since economic conditions are not a problem, it is just doing things that he wants to do in his previous life but cannot do.
