Chapter 1,067 There is so much food that I am worried!
Li Shilong nodded, because there was too much land, no one claimed these lands.
After all, it is because of too few people.
Even prisoners of war slaves could not cultivate them, and these people were mainly building bridges and roads.
Moreover, in a short period of time, the land in China will be in a state of surplus, and more slaves and prisoners of war are needed to cultivate for the court.
The 400,000 households who were exempted from taxes seemed to have suffered losses in the court, but the benefits brought by these more than 30 million acres of land were huge.
"After the final statistics, a total of 30 million stones of rice was included in the 11th grain rented to farmers, a total of 27 million stones.
These grains will eventually be sealed in the local granary!" When Zhuge Sui talked about this number, Hong Liang was also excited.
Three years ago, the state paid salaries to all officials and was the family business accumulated by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When we work hard, the population will be declining and natural disasters will be achieved in those years.
Especially four or five years ago, there was a large-scale drought, grain production was reduced, and tax exemption was exempted, and the grain tax was less than 8 million stones.
It is far less than the feat of a 30 million stone grain tax during the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, this is also related to the large number of taxes and population at the time.
Everyone took a breath, "How many?"
Li Shilong's eyes were all over, "There are so many?"
"Yes, there are so many!" Zhuge Sui was so excited. "This year, there are large-scale tax exemptions across the country, but there are still some places that do not have tax exemptions, so I estimate that the rice tax alone will not be less than 3,000 yuan. Millions of stones.”
"Good, isn't this the most prosperous period for catching up with the strongest Zhou Dynasty?"
"Where is the sweet potatoes?" Li Shilong asked.
"Potatoes will not be planted next year, so potatoes will not be included in taxes next year. Although sweet potatoes can be planted in succession, the Ministry of Industry said it is best not to plant them in succession, as they are prone to pest diseases and lead to large-scale production reductions.
So sweet potatoes will not be included next year. People from the Ministry of Industry will fertilize a year in advance to replenish the soil!
Or plant other crops!”
Zhuge Sui paused and continued, "Of course, 125 million stones of sweet potatoes were removed, and 125 million stones left to farmers, and 1125 million stones were left!"
"hiss!"
Everyone's scalp was numb!
Ten thousand stones?
This fucking finished eating?
The harvest of more than 5 million mu of land is four times the annual grain tax during the peak period of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Isn't this a damn joke?
Everyone present was shocked by this number and couldn't speak.
Li Shilong was also shocked, "How many do you say? 112.5 million stones? (80 kilograms of large stone, the current domestic output is about 50 million tons) Are you sure that there are so many?"
"Yes, it's sure that's all!" Zhuge Sui's voice trembled, "But Your Majesty, although this sweet potato is good, it cannot be completely used as staple food. If stored in a cellar, it can be stored for up to about half a year.
It is similar to the time when potatoes are stored, and these are not easy to store in the granary. The granary is being built in a hurry because the harvest is much more than we estimate!
So, storage is a difficult problem, and using these sweet potatoes is also a difficult problem.”
I have only heard that I have to worry about too little food, and I have never heard that I have to worry about too much food.
However, what Zhuge Sui said is also true, only the only thing that is to blame for the storage time of this thing is too short.
A stone of sweet potato is enough for one person to eat for one and a half months. According to the 30 million people, these sweet potatoes are enough for them to eat for half a year.
"Where is the potato?"
"It's almost the same number!" Zhuge Sui smiled bitterly and said, "The granary is not enough!"
I used one-thirty of the land of Dakan to grow the food for people with Dakan for nearly a year and had three meals a day, which was simply terrifying.
Adding more than 27 million stones of rice, it is enough to eat for a whole year.
The huge palace was silent.
They knew that new rice seeds, potatoes and sweet potatoes could grow, but they didn't expect that they could grow so much.
It was Du Jingming who stood up and said, "I, congratulations to Your Majesty, from now on, there will be no food troubles!"
Everyone also reacted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The sound almost lifted the dome of Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shilong also came to his senses, and his face turned red with excitement, "Everyone is flat!"
Is it better to have more food than not?
Who would think that they have too much food?
He couldn't help laughing loudly, "I used one-thirty-odd land in the country to plant food that could feed the whole country.
The ancestors bless you, God bless you, I will give you a sacrifice to God!"
Everyone was very happy. The court had food and money, so their lives were better.
Smart people know that the time to start a war with Beinu is ripe.
"Jing Yun, come out and talk about what to do with these potatoes and sweet potatoes!" Li Shilong shouted several times, but no one came out.
He frowned, "Dog guy, have you run to the corner to go to bed again?"
Many people looked around, "No, your Majesty, there is no corner or outside!"
"No?"
Li Shilong immediately glanced in the crowd, "Where is Qin Xiangru, why didn't I see others?"
"Your Majesty, Qin Xiangru and his son did not come!" Li Daoyuan said helplessly.
"Didn't come?" Li Shilong was stunned. "I even sent someone to call me, why didn't I come? They were sick?"
"Your Majesty, I have my memorial!" At this time, Dou Xuanling stood up, "When I went to court today, I met Qin Xiangru and his son. The father and son went out, but did not enter the palace to court, but went all the way south Go to morning tea!”
"That's right, Your Majesty, I can testify!" Yu Boshi said.
"I can also testify!" Du Jingming said helplessly.
Yuchi Xinxiong shouted: "Your Majesty, the Qin father and son are extremely arrogant. They know that today's grand ceremony is still going to have morning tea.
He also said that he would not have the energy to go to court without having enough food, and he was extremely arrogant.
We must punish the father and son severely, otherwise it will not be enough to revive the court!"
"I will report to the Qin father and son, who despised the king, despised the court, despised the court, despised the court, despised the court, acted lazy and extremely badly, please punish him severely!" Dou Xuanling did not ask at the beginning, but waited for Zhuge Sui to finish the good news before reporting.
In this way, although the emperor is angry, he will not be dizzy.
I don’t know what Old Qin is thinking. If Qin Mo is making trouble, let him make trouble. He is old and still making trouble with his son!
Some people have long disliked Qin Mo. At this moment, nearly half of the people agreed, "Please punish the Qin father and son severely!"
Li Shilong had a calm face, "Okay, it's OK. It's okay, it's okay to sleep in the court before, but now he doesn't even come to the court meeting!
Wang Gui, go and capture these two fathers and sons for me. If you don’t come, you will beat one hundred sticks to each one!"
Wang Gui was overjoyed, okay, he finally waited for the opportunity.
Chapter completed!
