Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 484 Champaign Rice

In fact, Li Tai didn't work in engineering that day, because although his engineering team couldn't do five days off and two days off, he could still do five days off and one day off.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty did not have the concept of a week, but generally it would be done every five days or every ten days, but this was not really stipulated by laws and regulations.

The main rest time is still on various festivals, such as Spring Festival, Winter Solstice, Qingming Festival, the birth of the emperor, and the birth of Lao Tzu.

Even when the emperor was in a good mood and something good happened to the country, he would announce a three-day holiday for the whole country, so the Tang Dynasty had quite a lot of holidays.

This is much happier than the low-level officials of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty only had three holidays: the Spring Festival, the Winter Solstice, and Zhu Yuanzhang’s birthday...

Li Tai naturally encourages rest, or in other words, only after rest can the money they earn have a chance to circulate.

Otherwise, the money is in their hands, how will their own economic system flow.

They are on the construction site all day long, eating steamed buns on the construction site, sleeping on the houses on the construction site, trying to save a small amount of money to go back to buy land and houses, which is not a good thing for Li Tai.

After all, too much wealth is concentrated on the land, and sooner or later there will be such things as land mergers, so from now on, we must cultivate their consumption concepts.

There is no need to make advanced consumption, as long as general consumption is enough.

However, in his previous life, Li Tai had been watching the house prices keep rising until he could afford to buy a house without eating or working for 30 years. The main reason may be to completely eliminate the desire of the middle and lower class people to buy a house.

Let them give up the excellent habit of saving money, spend as much money as possible, and promote economic circulation.

After all, as long as you don't buy a house in life, you will have at least half of your troubles and your life will be very comfortable.

Especially those who are below the tax benchmark. Although they don't have much wealth in their hands, they have a lot of base overall.

It is extremely useful to let them spend their money and revitalize the entire financial system.

At the same time, the house can also tie the future of the middle class, and work obediently for the next 30 years without causing trouble.

Make more use of houses to attract investment from the rich. After all, it is unrealistic to expect the rich to consume.

Because the base is too small, it is doomed that even if they spend money hard, they will not spend much at all. Maybe even a year's cost is not as much as his natural growth of wealth by lying at home and sleeping all night.

And through the house, it attracts investment from the upper class, secures the future of the middle class, and liberates the consumption of the lower class, revitalizing the overall economy of the whole country, benefiting all from the locality to the country, which can be described as a wonderful hand.

It's just that such a skilled hand has been used many times, and after a long time, it can't keep up with the times, and it becomes a bit stinky.

The most direct reason is that in this process, there were a lot of coquettish operations, which made this move sour.

In essence, it should be that the upper class can quickly accumulate wealth through investment, while a large part of the middle and lower classes consume in this system and will not accumulate wealth, or even ruin their own future, thus making the rich and the poor The gap widened, raising a host of questions.

Therefore, even if Li Tai is really in power now and finds that this trick is really useful, he can only endure it.

After all, the present is Datang, not the future, so there is absolutely no need for me to rush to catch up.

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, a large amount of funds were needed to concentrate efforts to do big things. The way that can be thought of and can get money quickly is land.

At the same time, there are more powerful enemies in the external environment. Fortunately, the country has a long-term view, grasps the main contradiction, and thinks of using real estate to raise funds.

Although there are future troubles, it is a coup that the country came up with in order to revitalize the entire country's economy when the country really had no other way.

But there is no need for the current Tang Dynasty to be so radical. If I do this now, in a few years, there will be an army of peasant uprisings to hang myself in the Vientiane Shrine!

So taking advantage of the time to rest, Li Tai came to the agricultural college to inspect.

For Li Tai, as far as industry is concerned, he can lay as much foundation as he can, and he doesn't expect to completely complete industrialization in this life.

But agriculture is also on the horizon, and Li Tai is very close, because Li Tai understands very well that promoting industry, integrating human resources, and completing a comprehensive planning and layout in this era is definitely a major project that started in a century.

This is not a steam engine or a production workshop, but a whole industrial chain from beginning to end.

Needless to say, screws the size of a fingertip can only be knocked out one by one. What kind of industrialization is there.

Therefore, Li Tai still focused on agriculture after all, because it was the prosperity of the feudal era when there was enough to eat.

What I have done is to make this prosperous age last a little longer, and to make my imprint on the whole world deeper.

"How about the research on Champa rice obtained by Master Yuan Ke?" Li Tai raised his head and asked Lu Cai.

Lu Cai was in charge of the entire student system, so after Li Chengqian's downfall, Lu Cai also completely shifted the resources of the student system to Chang'an, and the current Gaoling Academy was naturally handed over to Lu Cai to take over again.

"We have tried planting this rice in the Chang'an area. It is true that the growth cycle is short and the land is fertile. However, after internal discussions, we feel that it is not necessary to spread it to a large area for the time being!" Lu Cai said to Li Tai. .

"Huh?" Li Tai couldn't help being stunned when he heard Lu Cai's words, and asked, why?

"Because Champa rice has no fragrance and is unpalatable!" Lu Cai explained, "Of course the most important thing is that the people are not worth it.

King Wei, you mainly promote wheat in the north. With the help of the Agricultural Society, ordinary people at least have no problem filling their stomachs, and they can do temporary corvees to earn a little money if they are free.

Therefore, Champa rice has many advantages, but it is not easy to promote it in the north.

And if it is promoted in the south, it feels that Champa rice is not as delicious as our local rice in Datang!

Therefore, Champa rice is only used as replanting food in disaster years for the time being. Although it is a bit unpalatable to eat, at least it may play an unexpected role in disaster years! "

Li Tai nodded when he heard Lu Cai's words, somewhat understanding what Lu Cai meant.

To put it simply, because he integrated various farming techniques of the entire Datang, the agricultural productivity exploded.

At the same time, the Agricultural Society has opened up the grassroots, so it can directly pass on various production technologies to the common people.

Especially those locals who are willing to support their children to study in agricultural colleges, as their children graduate, they start to get positive feedback, so that the land receipts continue to increase.

This caused the harvest of the people in the north to increase greatly, but the population in the north did not keep up with the sudden increase in food, which made the people less enthusiastic about cultivating Champa rice, a new crop.

At the same time, the crop of wheat allows the common people to spare time in winter and summer to work as corvee or migrant workers in certain factories or roads built by Li Tai, which greatly increases the overall income of the common people.

Then switch to Champa rice, not to say that this kind of grain that can be harvested twice a year as long as it is taken care of is not good.

But for the common people, if you have this skill, wouldn't it be nice to spend half a year working hard in exchange for wages!
At least the model of wheat plus migrant workers is more profitable than harvesting two batches of Champa rice.

So in the case of voting with your feet, although this kind of food that can be grown for two seasons is very fragrant, the money that has not been obtained is fragrant!

Even if it wasn't for the fact that Li Tai only wanted to let the rural people generate income in their spare time, and through the Agricultural Society regularly issued government affairs to recruit part of the corvee, even if the people wanted to work at other times, they wouldn't be able to find a way at all.

After all, they have done a lot of work, and these people have also discovered that corvee is different from corvee.

For example, the corvees of the Agricultural Society are at least in charge of food, and sometimes they are paid back, but the corvees of the government are free, and they have to pay for their own meals.

And they want to find corvee workers similar to those issued by the Agricultural Society, but it is also difficult to find them.

After all, things like factories are basically under Li Tai's system.

The tasks released by Li Tai were first integrated into his own hands, and then one or two layers were added, and then they were continuously dismantled and distributed to agricultural societies one by one for the people at the bottom to work.

During this process, Li Tai couldn't guarantee that every cent of his money would be sent to these temporary corvees, but if there was something wrong with the collected things, he would send someone down to investigate thoroughly.

Of course, if you can settle the mission, you can take action from it, and you can even appease the local people, that is your skill, so Li Tai just turned a blind eye.

Of course, in this process, a monitoring system must be added, as well as a review mechanism specifically for them in the future.

But this is for the future. In a short period of time, Li Tai's system is much more attractive than the country directly requiring you to serve in corvee.

After all, Li Tai didn't bother with the promotion of Champa rice anymore. After all, the demand for food has not yet reached the point where large-scale cultivation of Champa rice is necessary.

This seems to be why hybrid rice is increased by thousands of catties every year, but hybrid rice is rarely put directly on the market.

It's more about cultivating a certain amount of hybrid rice seeds every year as a reserve grain. It's not because this thing can fill the rice, but the taste is not as good as the usual rice.

When it really comes to the time when you can't afford to eat, you have to rely on these stored grains to save your life.

Of course, for Li Tai, the main reason why Champa rice has not been promoted to the north is the global warming!
In the environment where the average temperature of the earth is rising, the area north of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains of the Tang Dynasty is not as hot and humid as that in the south of the Yangtze River, but in terms of living environment, at least the biggest advantage of this rice species in water demand has not been reflected.

So under such circumstances, Li Tai didn't forcefully promote this kind of rice, just keep making reserves.

After all, global warming belongs to global warming, and at most it means moving the precipitation line suitable for farming northward.

Therefore, the land north of Youzhou is suitable for this kind of Champa rice.

It's just that there is Goguryeo in the north of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not convenient for large-scale development, especially the black land in Heilongjiang, Li Tai is very greedy, and Champa Rice will be able to play a role by then.

"So, Goguryeo must die. If he doesn't die, how will the Tang Dynasty develop!" Li Tai silently made a judgment in his heart.

After all, under the external environment of global warming, the potential of the plain where Heilongjiang is located can be said to be the most amazing.

If the land in Heilongjiang has not changed from a wasteland to a truly mature field before the world begins to cool down again.

If you want to develop the land of Heilongjiang again, you have to wait until industrialization, or until the next global warming.

Therefore, Li Tai looked at Goguryeo as an eyesore.

Because Li Tai knew very well that if the land of Songhua River was reclaimed, it would really have a great possibility to continue the fortune of the Tang Dynasty.

As long as this piece of land is reclaimed, the grain produced here alone can support the entire Tang Dynasty for at least 300 years.

Because the land here is flat and sparsely populated, it is also the most likely place to realize grain industrialization for me.

And the land in other parts of the Tang Dynasty, especially the land south of the Yangtze River, really don't expect industrialization.

Because there is really not much land per capita, and all kinds of land are still fragmented. In this era of private ownership of land, if you want to carry out industrial production, the cost will be too high. Compared with it, it is better to treat the piece of land in Youzhou Underground heavy bet!

"Anyway, with the control of Champa rice, the development of the land in the northeast will be more sure!"

Li Tai took a deep breath, "So, the problem of Goguryeo must be resolved quickly. I really don't know how the negotiations between Bailixuan and Goguryeo will go. I really want to go to Goguryeo to fight right away. ah!"

Li Tai looked at Champa Rice, but couldn't help but gear up.

For Li Tai, if he wants to develop the land in the northwest, he must solve Goguryeo.

But Li Tai also knows that it is easy to defeat Goguryeo, but it is difficult to defeat Goguryeo.

To be honest, Li Tai didn't have much confidence in winning the first battle. He could only say that it was a good thing that Li Shimin, the strongest general in the Tang Dynasty, was still there.

With myself as the logistics and Li Shimin as the commander, even if facing the peak Goguryeo, there is still a high possibility of defeating it.

Thinking of this, Li Tai continued to walk around in the academy to see other achievements, but other things are not as mature as Champa rice, especially the research on fertilizer is still being explored.

For this kind of thing, Li Tai didn't urge anything. It's normal for scientific research to stay for more than ten or twenty years, especially for many scientific research routes that were originally considered to be wrong. correct.

I really can't do anything about it, just wait slowly.

When Li Tai returned to Wei Wangfu, Yan Wan soon sent a famous card of Fang Xuanling, saying that Fang Xuanling sent someone to send it.

　After twelve o'clock in the next update, there is no need to wait any longer. I will watch it tomorrow when I wake up.In addition, I have finally become an eighth-level cutie. The next step is to wait for the God of Grass to reenact and fight in the abyss.
