Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 97 Farming
Now that the empress is full of vigor, it is just the time when Shen Sanwen and the princess can learn a thing or two.

The princess was raised by her since she was a child. In comparison, Shen Sanwen needed to make up a lot of homework.

Now the control over the imperial court is basically complete, countless people who lack ability have been dismissed from office, those who have political achievements and are good at being officials are promoted rapidly, the aristocratic clan is eclipsed in the officialdom, and the potential for official status is far behind that of the common people.Emperor Wu had clear rewards and punishments, had a clear understanding of people, and was open to speaking out. All his ministers actively offered advice and suggestions to build a prosperous and strong society together.The court is also relatively harmonious.Lai Junchen's attacks on Liangchen were always stopped by Emperor Wu.

If a capable courtier collides with Emperor Wu, she doesn't care about it, Shen Sanwen thought to herself, this point is much worse.When Cui Cha left, he was very happy for a long time.

With the government under control, Emperor Wu began to realize his ideals of governing the country.

In the past, the performance assessment was mostly based on taxation as the assessment standard. At this time, it has really switched to the development of agricultural production. If the family’s fields are not well cultivated, merged into the landlord’s family, and uniformly paid taxes, even if there is an increase in production, it will not be included in the political performance.The people in the government have their own fields to cultivate well, and the number of households with surplus food is more, which is called Dayou.If the government is harsh and the people cannot survive, or even leave their hometowns, and the population drops sharply, a black yarn will not be enough to calm the anger of Emperor Wu.

Considering that the common people have no cultural knowledge and only follow the farming techniques handed down from generation to generation, which may not necessarily achieve the optimal constant, everyone in the court unanimously advised that agricultural books should be compiled and taught to the common people to cultivate.

The five grains grown by the common people are hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and bean.Hemp is used to make clothes and paper. Wheat is the most suitable for food and is also the main food. The other kinds are used for pastries and porridge by wealthy families, and only a few poor families eat them.Therefore, the goal of the first stage is only to ensure that there is more than enough food and clothing.

In order to compile a great book on agriculture, county governments in various places recommended agricultural talents, and Di Renjie wrote it himself. A book promoting agricultural production experience and technology was completed in two months.

The title of the book "The Record of Zhaoren Benye" ​​was distributed to all states and counties as soon as it was completed, and became an important text for persuading farming.

Shen Sanwen did a commendable thing at this time. This book was distributed to the prefectures and counties, and there should be very few people who can understand it. Waiting for the state officials to send people to give insights, the efficiency is too low.

Therefore, Shen Sanwen recruited people to visualize the book.Fortunately, the text has been completed, and it is not too difficult to paint from scratch.

Although Di Renjie has read it repeatedly and confirmed that the content is easy to understand and the common people can understand its meaning, but many people may not be able to listen to it every day when they read and listen to it, and they insist on listening.

But painting is different, vivid and vivid, many farmers can understand it at a glance.The graphical version of the farming book can naturally allow Emperor Wu to better implement his good intentions.

Shen Sanwen felt that it was taken from the people and used for the people. Since the income of the Princess Mansion comes from the tax rewarded by the Emperor Wu, and the source of the tax revenue is the people, it is also necessary to do something for the people, so he printed a large number of paintings agricultural book.

Fortunately, the princess is really rich and powerful now, and [-]% of the net profit of the state treasury goes into her pocket. Otherwise, the huge book expenses are really unbearable.The power of a state should also take three years to complete slowly.

The princess was also very much in favor of this matter.If these pictures are posted in the local county government and some of the contents are displayed every day, then these farmers can really learn agricultural skills.

Shen Sanwen has already discussed with the princess, and when all the books are printed, hand them over to Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu was also very pleased to see this.This is the person who can share his worries for himself, and knows how to take no credit for it.No matter who gets these albums, it is a great credit, and it is also a great grace to the people. It is an excellent opportunity to buy people's hearts and create a reputation for the people to survive.

Emperor Wu: "Your cleverness is very useful."

Shen San asked: "Your Majesty is absurd."

Emperor Wu: "Since it is the cost of the Princess Mansion, let's send it out in the name of Taiping. Just remember to pay attention to the protection of the posting of books, and don't let them become something for private competition. If the distribution is uneven, it will not be beautiful."

Shen San asked: "Yes".

In fact, Emperor Wu had another concern, that is, the land was destroyed, many households were turned into slaves, and some households escaped, so they could not be liquidated.

It's just that now that farming is imminent, there is no good way to deal with it. The bond between the slave and the wealthy family is deep, and it is not appropriate to forcibly split it up.

One year later.

The county government has advanced farm tools available for use, and farmers have learned a lot of advanced experience and skills, making farm work much easier and yields increased.After one year's farm income is settled, the farmers also have some spare money in their hands, which is considered to be quite rich.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a concept of having more children and more blessings. There was food to support, and one more person in the family would have one more labor force, so the population also grew slowly.

Amid all the singing and dancing, Princess Taiping's first child was born.

Spending on her own, printing agricultural scrolls for the world, making the princess famous among the people.

The simple people are grateful for this.

This child is also very lucky.

He not only bears the blessings of the people in the world, but also has the love of his parents, and also has an emperor's grandmother who dotes on him.
