After the crazy criticism of the prince ascending the throne, I can't escape

Chapter 240

Do it when you think of it.

It's spring now and everything is flourishing.

Ying Lili and two senior brothers visited the city and found several experienced farmers.

She told several people about the saplings, seeds, etc. obtained from the Western Regions based on their characteristics in memory.

Then he gave the seedlings to them and asked them to go back to discuss and study.

"General, give us such an important seedling, just in case we waste it..."

Ying Lili waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's really a waste and there's nothing we can do about it. At worst, we can go to the Western Regions again. Now we, Da Zhao, are not afraid of the countries in the Western Regions."

"And I believe in the farming experience of several father-in-laws. Every old man in the family is like a treasure."

"Success requires summing up experience from countless failures. No one can succeed casually."

I gave them some reassurance and discussed the matter of retting manure with some of my father-in-laws.

Several people listened very carefully and kept it in mind, preparing to study it themselves when they went back.

Ying Lili hated that she was a liberal arts student. If she were a science major, wouldn't she be able to produce fertilizers?

It's a pity that I can only think about it.

The old man went back.

They move quickly, and there is a lot to do next.

Wang Ping also wanted to make some political achievements, but the fundamentals of Lieshan City were really bad.

The past two years have been better.

The Western Border Army did not come to Lieshan City to search for food and grass.

Perhaps it’s because of the General’s presence that His Majesty’s supply of food and grass is abundant?
However, I exchanged letters with an old acquaintance who worked in Kyoto and learned that the food and grass rationing was no different from previous years.

This also shows that when King Zhennan was in charge of the Western Border Army, the food and grass provided by the court were sufficient.

It’s just that King Zhennan is too greedy.

Now it's better, Lieshan City can finally take a breather.

**
There are basically no wealthy households in Lieshan City.

Anyone with a little money who wants to live in a border city can't wait to move to other prosperous state capitals in Dazhao.

After all, maybe when the Western Region army comes, they will be killed and their property will be confiscated.

Therefore, no one holds large tracts of land in his hands.

Ying Lili wondered if, with the right time and place here, household production could be guaranteed.

After all, there are too many vacant and barren fields outside Lieshan City.

After discussing with the two senior brothers, he wrote a letter to Rong Qingzhang.

Twenty days later, Ying Lili, who was in the military camp, received a letter from Kyoto.

In the letter, Rong Qingzhang gave her full power to make the decision.

She returned to Lieshan City again with the letter and her two senior brothers.

After discussing his idea with Wang Ping, Wang Ping thought it was feasible.

Having land means having roots.

And with roots, local people can stay deeply rooted here to have children.

The population of Lieshan City is really too small.

It is even more populous than a county in any other state capital.

Ying Lili and the three of them formulated a detailed land transfer policy. The three of them put forward some ideas from time to time, which can be said to be very suitable for the current environment.

Lieshan City includes the land with counties and villages under it. The main land deeds are in the hands of the state government yamen, and the yamen only has the power of supervision and no right to buy and sell. In the final analysis, these land deeds are still in the hands of the imperial court.The village chiefs and village chiefs all have accessory land deeds, which were prepared to allow them to better coordinate with the local people.

In the end, because the population of Lieshan City was too small and the territory was vast, each person could be allocated three acres of land. As a result, most of the cultivated land was still unavailable for cultivation.

But in the face of the reality of this primitive labor force, no matter how much land they have, they will not be able to serve it.

Three acres of land, excluding the [-]% grain tax that needs to be paid every year, the rest belongs to the people themselves.

At the same time, a grain store led by the state government office was established in Lieshan City.

No one, under any circumstances, is allowed to drive up grain prices. Otherwise, if reported, the grain merchant's qualifications will be revoked and fined, and at worst, he or she will be jailed and have his or her home raided.

Well, this is what two senior brothers came up with.

Food is the fundamental foundation of a country and must not collapse, otherwise the stability of the entire country will be jeopardized.

It's tantamount to treason.

No one can bear this crime.

"Girl..."

A white-haired old man looked at Ying Lili.

“This land doesn’t belong to us anymore?”

The old man was trembling, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

It must be that he didn't get a good rest after hearing the news.

Ying Lili stepped forward and helped him sit down, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, the land is still yours. In the future, every additional person in the family will be able to get three acres of more land. Moreover, all the cultivated land in Lieshan City is in your hands." Here, if anyone dares to take advantage of your land, they will take out His Majesty’s pocket, which is a serious crime of treason.”

"Of course, the cultivated land is not for you to cultivate. You need to pay [-]% tax every year."

"The two percent is mainly for the soldiers at the border. After all, it is their bloody battles that can protect our safety, right?"

The old man was a little stunned when he heard this, and said: "Twenty percent?"

"Yes, [-]%, considered as land rent."

Ying Lili nodded.

The father-in-law asked, "No one dares to steal our farmland?"

A man next to him laughed and said, "My father-in-law, didn't you listen to the general? Our landowner is Your Majesty. Who dares to rob His Majesty's things?"

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, no one dares to steal your majesty's farmland, so how long can we cultivate it?"

Ying Lili smiled and said, "I'll do it until you die. How many people are there in my father-in-law's family?"

The old man smiled and said: "Oh, this is quite a lot. I have twenty grandchildren with me."

For these people, eating is not a small sum.

Ying Lili looked at the household registration of her father-in-law's family and said with a smile: "Seventeen people, a total of 51 acres of cultivated land, of which you can be allocated 21 acres of good land, [-] acres of medium land, and [-] acres of low-grade land."

"The government will send people down regularly to explain the specific grain tax to you. How much you need to pay every year and how much you need to pay, you can figure it out soon."

"These fields can be used to grow other things. If there is progress on the government side, we will go down and tell you."

The old man waved his hands and laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Beans will fertilize the fields. We will plant beans in the inferior fields. After a few years, they will slowly turn into fertile fields."

Hearing this, Ying Lili gave a thumbs up, "The old saying is true. Every family has its own bag. You have to lead the villagers to cultivate the land well. Beans are also good things. Transport them to If I don’t have to worry about selling it in other state capitals, I can eat more tofu and drink more bean juice in the future.”

Waves of people came and left, and those who left were overjoyed with their field deeds.

In about half a month, all the [-] people in Lieshan City got their own fields.

For this reason, Ying Lili also went to the people with his two senior brothers and the prefect Wang.

There are many busy figures in the fields.

When I meet someone I know well, I will stop and chat for a few words to familiarize myself with the knowledge of farming.

You will also be pulled by enthusiastic villagers to drink a bowl of sweet water.
