Destiny Only Han

Chapter 442 Liu Ying: I'm starting to panic...
Chang'an City.

From the north gate of Changle Palace, turn west, along the avenue separated by the palace wall of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace, go north all the way, and you will arrive at the East and West Second City, which is full of people.

Although there are sporadic snowflakes floating in the sky today, it does not stop people from leaving their homes and taking to the streets.

It's just different from the crowds flooding into the market in the past. At this time, the crowd is mainly concentrated on the road towards the west gate of Lin Guang Palace.

Bustling and bustling, shoulder to shoulder, but orderly, everyone is about three feet apart, looking at the surrounding environment vigilantly, and sometimes looking at the crowded team ahead.

They're lining up to buy bonds.

Well, it is the Nanchang City Development Bond issued by Liu Ying.

Although the expected annual rate of return is only about [-]%, for the middle class who do not have any good investment opportunities, this is already a dream!

After all, if you hide a hundred copper coins at home for a year, at most it will grow a little copper rust, and you will definitely not be able to change the extra seven copper coins!

Their frenzy at the moment was not caused by Liu Ying's bewitchment, but because they were genuinely willing to run all the way from the moment the gate of Lifang was opened!

Well, the curfew, the gates of the city gates and workshops are closed as soon as the sky is dark, and ordinary people appear on the street without authorization. If they are caught by soldiers on night watch, they will end in a terrible end...

In fact, it was their own wisdom that really convinced them that Liu Ying wanted to subscribe for a large number of bonds.

To be precise, it should sound like a rumor, but it is actually accurate gossip.

As soon as the Nanchang City Development Bonds were issued, old and new aristocrats rushed over carrying money boxes, fearing that they were too late and Liu Ying had already sold all the bonds.

Therefore, how could such a move be concealed from the servants in their mansion, so it spread to ten, ten and hundreds of people.

Of course, there is also the help of a certain traverser...

After three poles in the sun, Zhao Yao, who was in charge of washing horses for the prince, yawned and led a group of accountants holding abacus, like e-sports players, to the accountant.

Naturally, Liu Ying personally received the big customers, and as for these retail customers, they were just servants who had troubles...

Zhao Yao stood on the high platform, holding a wooden loudspeaker in his hand, and shouted loudly: "If you don't have a household registration certificate, don't line up here, go to the county government to issue a certificate..."

There is no way, the anti-counterfeiting means are limited, in order to protect the interests of everyone from loss, we can only strictly register personal information.

However, people at this time don't care about the leakage of personal information. Although some people find it troublesome, most of them think it is not rigorous enough.

Well, their idea is to let Liu Bang or Liu Ying come over in person, give them a written guarantee and stamp it with the national seal...

Even if he only has more than 200 five baht coins in his pocket...

....................................

Weiyang Palace, Dongming Pavilion.

Liu Ying sat cross-legged on the floor, holding a brush in her mouth again, and carefully considered her words.

What he wants to appease now is Xiao He's accountability.

Zhang Cang betrayed him and told Xiao He what he said that day in the cotton and wool textile factory with embellishments. ...

When Liu Ying first saw the note written by Xiao He, her mind was full of the desire to hit the door and hit Zhang Cang's lungs, but considering the size difference between him and Zhang Cang, she decided that a gentleman would not use his mouth.

And now he doesn't want to explain to Xiao He, but to explain a new agricultural production method.

Three garden system.

The so-called three-field system is to divide the land into three parts: spring plowing, autumn plowing, and fallow plowing. After two years of continuous plowing, each piece of land is set aside for one year to conserve soil fertility.

This is an agricultural and animal husbandry production method developed by the ancient Romans. The reason for this is that in the Mediterranean climate, winters are mild and rainy, summers are hot and rainy, and the rain and heat are not in the same period. This leads to the advantage of growing food crops rather than pasture.

In fact, this is somewhat similar to the well field system in the Western Zhou Dynasty, except that the well field system is a rotation of two gardens.

Liu Ying's idea is naturally to plant nitrogen-fixing pastures such as alfalfa in the fallow fields, and then use the pastures to feed livestock, and then compost the collected livestock manure to further increase the fertility of the land.

If the Han Dynasty at this time was the later era with a population of over [-] million, the three-field system can be said to be a disaster for the country and the people.

After all, there is no chemical fertilizer and no seeds that can produce stable and high yields. Even if all the land is planted with crops, it can only ensure that most people will not starve to death.

But now the population of Han is only in the tens of millions, so the three-field system is perfect!
The important thing is that the agricultural tax at this time is [-] [-] per cent. Occasionally, in some places where the harvest is not good, Xiao He will even notify Liu Bang to adjust the local tax to [-] per [-] tyres, or not collect it at all.

Under the three-field system, it seems that the area for sowing crops is reduced, but if the land is cultivated and fertile, the yield per mu will be much higher than that of continuous crop rotation.

Then the tax collected is not less than before.

Compared with the income of one mu of land planted with pasture and raising livestock, the latter must be higher. Otherwise, there would be no uproar caused by using wheat as silage fodder.

Therefore, under the three-field system, farmers' income has increased, and they can naturally afford the largest expenditure in their lives.

poll tax.

The so-called domestic waste and population halving during the Han Wu period actually meant that a considerable number of people could not bear the increasingly heavy poll tax, so they resolutely fled their hometowns and became black households, or took shelter in the manors of wealthy and powerful families, or simply occupied the mountains. Become a king and become a bandit.

Therefore, when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who pushed the Han Empire to its peak, was dying, the last thing he convened his ministers to discuss was that the Han Dynasty is so hanging today, but why are there bandits everywhere in Guanzhong?
And the answer Wang Mang gave a few years later was the same as that of some scholars in the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. All the turmoil and natural disasters were due to the failure of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he needed to abdicate to let the virtuous!
Naturally, those scholars were cut in half, and Wang Mang's head was cut off and became a collection of a certain son of destiny...

After Liu Ying wrote down the benefits of the three-field system, she then recounted a kind of knowledge that she thought was useless when she was a keyboard warrior.

Daita method.

The so-called substitute field method is to sow the seeds in the ditch, wait until the seedlings germinate and grow leaves, and at the same time of cultivating and weeding, rake down the ridges on both sides of the ditch and bury them in the roots of the crops, so as to prevent wind and lodging. effect on drought resistance.

The most unique thing is that the ridges and furrows are interchangeable between the two seasons of planting. After the crops are harvested in each season, the field must be plowed again. At this time, the ridges become furrows, and the furrows become ridges. Although crops are planted every season, the land in each furrow is actually kept fallow in turns.

It is said that it was invented by Zhao Guo, an agronomist who served as the captain of Su Su during the Han Wu period. Well, to be precise, he summarized and promoted the method of substituting land created by farmers in Guanzhong.

But Liu Ying went out to take a look. At this time, there was no similar planting method in Guanzhong.

Therefore, he shamelessly took the credit for himself...

Just as Liu Ying was writing vigorously, a series of voices came from far and near outside the palace gate.

He didn't pay much attention to it at first, although it was obviously footsteps, judging from the heavy steps, it definitely wasn't his elder sister.

But then the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground made him instantly understand that his previous judgment was wrong.

"What are you doing... haha... ouch..."

Liu Ying raised her head and glared at the little loli who appeared in front of him panting heavily.

"Hey, brother..." Liu Le squeezed out a flattering smile on his round face with some baby fat, and bent over to open the big box thrown in front of Liu Ying: "What do you think this is?"

Damn, so many treasures, so flashy, I'm blind... Liu Ying looked at the gold and jade jewelry in the box like garbage, and couldn't help showing a happy smile on her face:
"My sister has finally found her conscience after running away from home for many years. Do you want to make up for the grievances my brother has suffered all these years? Then I will not be polite..."

Little Loli froze little by little, and suddenly bent down to hug her own box: "Don't even think about it! I'm using it to find you to buy bonds!"

"Buy bonds?" Liu Ying scratched her head: "Where did you hear the news?"

Little Lolita waved her hand: "Don't worry about it! Anyway, it's spread in the palace. Aunt Cao, Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Tang Shan are all busy selling their jewelry, and they are also planning to ask you to buy bonds!"

Liu Ying stared at little Lolita for a long time, stood up silently, turned around and packed up her luggage, ready to go out to avoid the limelight.

He is a little scared...

The little Lolita was not willing to let him go, so she stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "Smelly brother, you will accept my things today, or you will accept them if you don't! I have bought the bond, mother is here I can't save you, I said!"

Liu Ying turned around and picked up Little Lolita's treasure box. According to his impression, the jewelry inside should be birthday presents given to Little Lolita by Lv Gong Lu Ze and the ladies of Chang'an City over the years.

Well, after all, Xiao Luoli is Lu Zhi's only daughter, the eldest princess of the Han Empire.

He flipped through the box casually, and was suddenly taken aback: "These? Could it be rings?"

Little Lolita was startled, she thought she had been accidentally caught by a thief...

But she looked at the string of 'rings' inlaid with precious stones that Liu Ying was holding in her hand, her round face flushed slightly: "No, it's not a ring, it's a thimble...that's what I used to make clothes for others. "

There are a lot of stationery for poor students. This is... Liu Ying put down the string of thimbles, looked up and asked, "Are you really willing to exchange these treasures into bonds? Let me tell you, investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry!"

Little Lolita nodded heavily:
"Well, I'm willing to! I heard from others that my brother has never done anything wrong these years, and he will definitely make money by following him! You know, in this world of indifferent people, only yellow orange gold can give people money. Come warm..."

Liu Ying: ...
