Chapter 207 Three Suggestions
Li Shimin said in amazement: "This is so thoughtful!"
Then he waved away the left and right, and said to Queen Changsun: "Queen, your system is really amazing, there are so many divine objects."
"Since you, Queen, acquired this magical system, our Tang Dynasty has become more and more prosperous."
At this time, Queen Changsun took out another handful of rice ears from her arms and said, "Your Majesty, look at what these are?"
When Li Shimin saw it, he was shocked: "This is millet, this is rice."
"Oh my God! Why are the ears of rice so full?"
"Each of these ears of rice is over a foot long, and the grains are huge, plump, and heavy. How much food can this ear of rice produce?"
"Oh my God, this is the rice of auspiciousness, the valley of auspiciousness!"
"Queen, where do these divine objects come from?"
Queen Changsun said: "Of course it comes from my system, and it also comes from a thousand years later."
"Thousands of years in the future, people at that time will be able to produce thousands of catties of rice per mu, and thousands of catties of millet per mu."
"So the people of their time, Du Yu told me, there were 140 million people in our country of Daxia."
"But there are so many people, but everyone can have enough to eat. Not only can everyone have enough to eat, but everyone can eat well."
"Every household can eat meat and vegetables, and live a happy life."
"It's because they have such grains!"
"That's what you get from him."
Li Shimin was extremely shocked when he heard this: "What, there are 140 million people in a country? Isn't that twenty times as many as my people in the Tang Dynasty?"
"In this way, everyone can have enough to eat and everyone has meat to eat. What a peaceful and prosperous era it will be!"
"If our Tang Dynasty could have such a peaceful and prosperous age, I would die without regrets~.
Empress Changsun pouted, snorted and said, "What the emperor said about death is really unlucky!"
"There are many treasures in my system that can prolong life and prolong life. Your Majesty has decided a job in the future.
"Under the leadership of His Majesty, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably move towards an unprecedented prosperous age."
"Look, don't we have this kind of rice and paddy now?"
"Treat this as a seed and plant it. If every household in the Tang Dynasty grows this kind of rice and this kind of millet, then everyone will be able to eat enough.
"At that time, we will have enough troops and food, and we will have ten times and a hundred times more people now.
"The land controlled by our royal family has one-tenth of the arable land in the world. If all these crops are planted, it will be enough to support all the people of our Tang Dynasty and keep all the people well fed." .
Queen Changsun said: "Du Yu said to set off at three o'clock."
"This is the most fundamental problem of every feudal dynasty."
"In this way, their exploitation of farmers through land can be alleviated a lot."
"The bigger reason is the unfair distribution of social resources."
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes! Queen Ai is right! Haha, with this kind of magical object, our Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for generations to come."
Empress Changsun added: "If the Tang Dynasty wanted to last forever, it would not be enough to have such a sacred object."
"Du Yu suggested that we should not promote this sacred rice across the country.
"If those rich people had taken out the old grain at home, there would be no hungry people in the Tang Dynasty now."
Li Shimin was quite surprised when he heard this: "What? Farmers don't pay taxes to the state for farming, and the state in turn subsidizes farmers?"
"With more sources of income, their conflicts with farmers will be much smaller."
"But when there is more food, the food is no longer valuable, and the people who farm the land will become poorer."
"First, as agriculture develops, there will be no need for so many farmers. We must encourage them to do business."
"Because those greedy corrupt officials, landlords and wealthy people will also exploit them. Over time, they will still annex their land into their hands.
"If the other half of the people engage in business and industry, the country will become richer and stronger."
“Less than half of the people in the entire country are engaged in agricultural production, and the food produced by these half of the people is enough for the entire country.
“Money comes quickly from doing business, so most of the wealthy class in their society are willing to do business, but not many people want to annex land owners.
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's talk about the real things at hand first."
"How rich will our Daxia country be in the future to dare to do this?!"
“And the taxes in their country all come from commercial taxes. The country doesn’t care about the little income farmers get from farming, and almost no agricultural taxes are collected.
“On the contrary, in order to encourage farmers to farm, the state will also subsidize farmers through policies.
"In the era of Du Yu and his uncle, 1,400 years later, business will be very developed."
"At the same time, people from all classes are encouraged to go into business. Those wealthy landowners have gone into business, and they don't care about the income from growing food in the fields."
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned, and then said: "The analysis makes sense, but how to solve this problem?"
"It sounds like a fantasy."
Empress Changsun also nodded and said: "It does sound like a fantasy, but that is what will happen in future generations."
"Then when the time comes, the meat of Zhumen's dogs will really stink, and the road will be frozen to death."
"If there is such a thing, tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty will still be hungry."
"My good friend Du Yu said that even if there is such a magical object, if the system cannot prevent landlords from annexing land.
"Those rich nobles, wealthy landlords, and rich people who own a lot of land can't even finish the food in their homes. They would rather leave the land full of insects than let it be eaten by ordinary people.
"Just start farming on our royal estate."
"He said that the fundamental reason why we ancient people did not have enough to eat was not because there was not enough food produced in the fields.
"So Du Yu told me that even if we promote this magical rice, we can only feed the people of Datang for a period of time."
"In the end, in the homes of those unscrupulous corrupt officials and landlords, food piled up like mountains, and a large number of people in the Tang Dynasty still did not have enough to eat."
