Chapter six hundred and sixty-fifth: National Duck Raising
All the officials of Dahua discovered that the emperor had just transferred Xun Yu and did not involve anyone else.
It seems that the emperor only punishes the evildoers, and as for the others, there is no problem for the time being.
Then, Lu Bu issued an order that made all civil and military officials feel inexplicable.
That is, order officials from all over the country to mobilize the people to raise more ducks after they go back.
Not only the people, but also the wealthy businessmen, officials, etc., must raise ducks at home.
Even Lu Bu linked this year's performance assessment to the number of duck breeding.
Linking raising ducks with political achievements is really a big deal and unprecedented thing.
But even after the emperor issued such an inexplicable order, they were helpless.
There was no choice but to mobilize the people to raise ducks after officials from all over the country returned.
And some areas, especially in Shanghai, can be said to have the highest per capita income in Dahua, no one.
Many people are very wealthy at home, and ordinary little money is no longer attracted to it. They will not agree if they ask them to raise ducks. It is simply impossible.
Now the emperor is persecuting his ministers, but the local officials really dare not force the people.
There was no choice but to let those merchants open a breeding farm.
In order to make merchants willingly raise ducks, they do not hesitate to give various preferential policies, such as taxes on their business, such as 30% off and so on.
As soon as this method was released, a large number of merchants opened duck farms.
In terms of scale and quantity, it actually exceeded other regions, which made the county magistrate of Shanghai County quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the taxes for meeting can only be paid for by Shanghai County.
This made the county magistrate of Shanghai County feel distressed as if it were something.
Officials from all over the country have tried every means to encourage and stimulate the people to raise ducks, and various preferential policies have been introduced.
This made the people a little puzzled, wondering what the government is doing?
If so many people raise ducks together, can they be sold then?
But the government has given a very good policy now. They were extremely moved. After some calculations, they decided to raise ducks.
Therefore, because of Lu Bu's order, a trend of raising ducks was set off in the entire Dahua.
If you want to raise ducks, you must have ducks.
To have ducklings, fertilized duck eggs must be hatched.
However, almost all the people raise ducks in Dahua, which directly leads to insufficient duck eggs in Dahua.
So, they had to buy large quantities of fertilized duck eggs from Cao Cao and Shu Han.
This directly leads to the soaring price of duck eggs.
Shu Han and Cao Cao were a little confused when they saw the Great China purchasing fertilized duck eggs.
Why did the Great China buy so many fertilized duck eggs? What are their intentions? There will be no conspiracy, right?
But they can't think of any conspiracy or tricks to raise ducks.
The price of duck eggs has been hyped up to a very high price.
With duck eggs, the people under their jurisdiction can earn more income.
Of course they would not object to such a good thing.
Therefore, the merchants from Dahua Kingdom were allowed to purchase fertilized duck eggs in Shu Han and Cao Cao.
The fertilized eggs that gather the entire world are finally barely enough for the great cause of raising ducks in China.
...
In the palace, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and Jia Xu, three cabinet ministers were in the study.
Guo Jia couldn't help but blink and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why do I raise ducks in the whole country?"
Lu Bu smiled mysteriously, looked at Guo Jia with a smile, and then said to him: "Well, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. You will know then, haha!"
Hearing the emperor's words, Guo Jia couldn't help rolling his eyes.
The emperor ordered the entire Great China to raise ducks, and there must be his reason.
But as for the reason, Guo Jia really couldn't even think of it.
In fact, it’s not just Guo Jia? Jia Xu and Pang Tong, all three of them are like this.
These three such smart people together can't think of it. I'm afraid no one in the world can guess Lu Bu's thoughts.
Guo Jia couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, are you still worried about the three of us? You can feel at ease when you speak and in our ears. We will never spread the word!"
Lu Bu laughed and said to the three of them: "Raising ducks in the whole country is actually just a wonderful idea of my life. At that time, it may not be useful."
"It would be fine if it's not useful, it's just that I've raised more ducks. But if it really comes in handy, so many ducks can be said to be worth 100,000 elite soldiers!"
What?
It would be fine if the emperor didn't explain, but Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Pang Tong couldn't help but become even more confused when the emperor explained.
What kind of use can a duck be used for?
It’s worth tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Please stop making trouble!
If raising ducks can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, then why are we recruiting soldiers? Just raise ducks!
But they also knew in their hearts that since the emperor said that, there must be his reason for it.
Some things will only be believed by someone if they really happen.
Before things happen, no matter what, I'm afraid few people will believe it.
For example, before the emperor conducts winter fishing, if someone tells them that in the middle of winter, they have to smash dozens of holes on the ice and put down the net, and one net can make dozens of kilograms of fish, would they believe it?
They would just think that the person who said this was a lunatic.
But the emperor really used this method and got 300,000 kilograms of fish in one go!
Therefore, this time the emperor said that raising ducks can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers, so they could only barely believe it.
Soon, the ducks in the people's homes were hatched, and there were some cute and furry ducks in the farmyard, and there were so many screams.
Each family has to raise at least a dozen ducks, and most of them even have dozens of ducks.
Because basically most places in China have introduced a new policy, raising ducks can reduce taxes.
Calculated according to the number of ducks, if you can raise a duck to 300, the tax will be exempted directly.
Now Dahua State has the confidence and strength to reduce taxes from the people.
Even if you don’t collect agricultural taxes for three or two years, it won’t have much impact.
In the past few years, in order to promote the whole nation to raise ducks, it can be said that China has fought hard.
Among the three types of domestic animals, chicken, duck, geese, ducks are the most edible.
Ducks are chores, grains, insects, and tadpoles, almost as long as they can eat, there is nothing they don’t eat.
And the duck has a very fast digestion ability, and the food you eat can be digested quickly.
If feeding keeps up, the ducks grow very quickly.
Of course, nowadays, people feed ducks more to complete tasks, but no one deliberately makes ducks grow wildly.
