Chapter 1155: 200 million mu of arable land

As the Spring Festival approaches, it is a matter of a major change in the wilderness, and the global attention is attracted by the beast tide. After the Silver Hand and the Azure Blue Badge are exposed one after another, the subsequent influence is slowly fermenting.

The entire wilderness was filled with undercurrents.

It was against this background that the Daxia Dynasty quietly launched a large-scale grain purchase.

The massive amount of funds was quietly transferred to hundreds of chambers of commerce through the Commerce Department, and then through the chambers of commerce, they went to Johor, Java, Piao, and even the Mauryan Dynasty and Persian Empire to purchase a large amount of food.

Some chambers of commerce came forward directly, while others went through intermediaries.

Because the purchase price given by Daxia merchants was slightly higher than the market price, merchants from all over the world were moved and did not consider the domestic grain storage situation at all, and sold a large amount of hoarded grain.

Even the Great Zhou Dynasty in Huaxia District had merchants joining the feast.

Although there are many 20 million gold coins, it is divided into hundreds of chambers of commerce and five or six countries. It is not a big event for the ocean trade with millions of gold coins every day.

Therefore, this large-scale grain purchase in Daxia did not arouse the alertness of the entire market except for causing a small fluctuation among grain merchants.

The Daxia court was hidden behind the scenes throughout the process.

At the same time, the Agriculture Department has formulated a farmland reclamation plan, preparing to reclaim another 200 million mu of arable land on the basis of existing arable land to meet the growing food demand.

What is the concept of 200 million mu?

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the total area of ​​arable land in the country was between 500 million mu and 600 million mu; by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the area of ​​arable land increased to around 700 million mu.

After industrialization, the arable land area suddenly reached 1.8 billion mu, basically reaching a peak.

Therefore, with the conditions of the wilderness, for Daxia, it is not a problem to reclaim 200 million mu of arable land. The real problem is the question of who will cultivate after the cultivated land is reclaimed.

In ancient times, the area of ​​arable land was often linked to the population.

A farmer can handle ten acres of arable land on average. Even with the support of farmers in Daxia, the farming level is globally leading, and with the convenience of industrialization, it will only be at most fifteen or sixteen acres.

For 200 million mu of arable land, at least more than 12 million farmers need to cultivate.

The number of new population in this round of Daxia is mainly players. Although leisure players and professional players in life account for the majority, few of them are willing to farm.

To this end, the imperial court specially launched a farm model.

Local government agencies will provide certain financial subsidies and technical support, encourage players to build farms in newly reclaimed arable land, and provide tax incentives.

Specifically, agricultural tax exemption in the first year and agricultural tax halved in the second year.

Sihai Money House is also willing to open up agricultural loan services for players and support players in operating farms.

With a complete set of combination policies, it is still very attractive to players, especially for casual players.

The continuous update of achievement values ​​has the greatest impact on this group.

If they continue to travel around the game world and keep doing their jobs like this, they may not even be eligible to receive basic relief subsidies when they arrive on the planet of Hope.

But if they want to change into a life profession, starting from scratch, but they can't keep up with the progress of life profession players, their living space has long been squeezed out.

In this case, running a farm becomes a good choice.

Farms are not simply farming. Corn, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, sugarcane and mulberry trees can be planted, and chickens and ducks can be raised, even pigs and sheep are all inclusive.

Even vegetables are in great demand in the market. Taking Shanhaicheng as an example, the vegetables consumed every day are amazing, and the surrounding villages cannot supply them at all. Most of them are transported to Shanhaicheng by sea.

If you manage the farm well, you can even overtake on the curve.

Therefore, the imperial court's "Plan on Implementing Farm Farming Model at the County Level" was released, and it caused heated discussions and endless applicants.

The earlier players sign up to the county and county government offices, the better they can pick up a good location, and they can complete the rental and loan procedures in advance and receive vocational training.

It is even said that the farm can be planned in advance and the house can be built in advance.

This winter is destined to be hot.

…………

January 20th, Summer Palace.

In Wuji Hall, Ouyang Shuo was chatting with Lin Jing.

With the [Shangxue Rose Mercenary Group] moving its headquarters to Shanhai City, the family moved very frequently. When Lin Jing was fine, he went to Wuji Palace to "visit" and check out Yu'er and Luo'er.

Ouyang Shuo naturally enjoyed seeing it.

Lin Jing settled in Shanhai City, and Ouyang Shuo naturally received the grand reception and directly presented a duke's mansion for her and Xie Siyun to live in, making Lin Jing a heavyweight among royal relatives.

Such treatment made the straightforward man like Blood Romance envious, half-joking, and half-seriously: "Now, the champion of the [Blood Evil Mercenary Group] is no longer guaranteed."

Indeed, with Lin Jing's identity, the future development of [Shang Xue Rose] in Daxia will definitely be better than the [Blood Evil Mercenary Group].

"This is called fate, I can't envy you!"

Bloody romance can only accept this cruel fact.

In fact, when the corpses evacuated the royal city, the transcendent status they had maintained no longer existed, and there was no longer an equal relationship with the lord.

I think there is a clear understanding of this.

"The plan you have recently formulated for farm construction has caused a sensation!" As the two chatted, they talked about the nearest farm. Lin Jing said with a smile: "It makes me want to be a farmer."

For people in the city, being a farmer is actually a deep wish in many people.

That's why, as soon as the plan was introduced, a wave of higher crazes among the player group was launched. Not only casual players, but also professional players in life have focused on this field.

Especially for professional life players related to agriculture, they are the most motivated.

Now, even the guilds are being mobilized. Although they do not expect to rely on the farm to make profits, building a super farm is also good as a guild logistics base.

It can also provide a leisure and vacation place for guild members, which is the best of both worlds.

In just three days, there were more than three million players who signed up to build the farm, and it was increasing at an astonishing rate, which made Ouyang Shuo a little unexpected.

Such a grand occasion reminded Ouyang Shuo of the ancient times, when dignitaries were competing to buy a farm. How similar are the two?!

"Can we say that Daxia still needs to cultivate a new generation of landlords?" Ouyang Shuo said self-deprecatingly.

This is of course a joke, there is an essential difference between the two.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, where business is prosperous, agriculture will only be a basic industry and cannot become a pillar or even a unique industry like in ancient times.

Coupled with the increasingly mature industry, the landlord class naturally has no way to talk about it.

When Lin Jing said he wanted to be a farmer, Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Why should I go far and wide? There is a royal farm called Xilin Farm in the western suburbs of Shanhai City, which has everything in it. When will I want to experience farm life, I can go to it at any time."

"There is such a good place?" Lin Jing's eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo briefly introduced Xilin Farm.

Speaking of which, the origin here is too deep. It has to be traced back to the territory and township period. It was the first farm in the territory. At the beginning, in addition to growing vegetables, it was mainly used to raise wild goats and green horses.

When the territory developed, the farm naturally became a royal farm.

Because Bing'er likes it, Ouyang Shuo has spent a lot of time on Xilin Farm, except for the conventional goats, bison and green horses, and even tigers, leopards, rhinos and other beasts on the farm.

In addition to growing vegetables, there are also various facilities such as fish ponds and flower beds.

Basically, Xilin Farm can be regarded as a royal villa, where you can get the greatest satisfaction whether it is leisure, hunting, or spring outing.

After hearing this, Lin Jing was attracted and had no intention of opening a new farm.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo gently moved the topic to other places.

In fact, the imperial court launched a farm plan to solve the problems of arable land and grain. I am afraid that few people can understand Ouyang Shuo’s true intentions.

Say one thousand and tell ten thousand. No matter what Ouyang Shuo does, his ultimate intention is actually linked to the planet of Hope. This time, he attracted players to join the farm construction. The real purpose is to enhance players' sense of identity with Daxia.

Although players settled in Daxia, their thoughts have not changed. They have never regarded themselves as part of Daxia. Their settlement in Daxia is just a way of survival.

The two are more like a cooperation or a parasitic relationship.

Even my aunt Lin Jing, when chatting with Ouyang Shuo just now, said "you, you guys"?!

Players who are deeply influenced by modern democratic and free thoughts cannot have a sense of belonging to a feudal dynasty like Daxia at once.

Maybe some people are still very disgusted in their hearts.

That's why Ouyang Shuo did not want to define it as a feudal dynasty when he first defined the Great Xia Dynasty. This is absolutely no market on the Hope Planet and it is impossible to gain player recognition.

The more this happens, the more Ouyang Shuo wants to win the support of players.

Not to mention loyalty or something, at least they should be allowed to agree with the concept of Daxia and recognize that they are part of Daxia. Only in that way can this force be united.

Building a farm was an attempt by Ouyang Shuo.

In order to enhance players' sense of identity with Daxia, Ouyang Shuo has many other plans in his mind, but the player has just settled down and should not be too hasty, and he needs to do it step by step.

The farm is undoubtedly an excellent breakthrough, aiming at the group of casual players that are most likely to be infected. Using this as a radiation, using the social network between players, it can gradually penetrate into the entire group of players.

In the future, Ouyang Shuo will have a complete set of solutions for the most difficult and core combat players. Only through chatting with Lin Jing, Ouyang Shuo realized that the time is far from ripe.

"Take it slow!"
