In this era, Koryo mainly planted wheat, and it was not until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that Koreans introduced rice.Now that the wheat has been harvested, the fields are full of stubble.On the flat ground in the center of each village, countless farmers are milling wheat, and some of the milled wheat has been carried into carts by farmers, ready to be transported back home.

All the farmers looked beaming, some of them were holding wheat in their hands and smiling foolishly.

"It seems that this year's harvest is very good?" Li Gang passed by a village and couldn't help smiling.

"It's more than good, it's really good! This year's grain output is almost twice that of previous years!" said the county magistrate of Yanchuan County, Gaoli, who accompanied Li Gang.

"Twice? So much? How is it possible?" Li Gang was taken aback, with an unbelievable expression in his eyes.

He also knows that the status of farmers in Korea is very high now, and many people who are good at growing grain have become model workers, and the deeds of these people have been promoted throughout the country.But even so, it is impossible to double the grain output?This is too unbelievable?

So Li Gang turned his head and looked at the magistrate of Yanchuan County suspiciously.

"Master Li, I'm really not lying to you, you can ask the farmers here!" said the magistrate of Yanchuan County.

"Okay!" Li Gang nodded, and immediately walked towards several farmers, asking about this year's harvest.According to those farmers, this year's harvest is indeed much higher than before. The harvest of most families is close to or more than double that of the previous one, and some families even tripled it.

Li Gang frowned, he was still very suspicious in his heart, he felt that the villagers here might have been threatened by the magistrate of Yanchuan County, or they might have been bought by the magistrate of Yanchuan County, deliberately saying such things in front of him, the minister of the military aircraft department!At that moment, he left this village without saying a word, and headed for the next village. After arriving here, he did not reveal his identity, but immediately started to ask how the harvest here was, and it turned out that the harvest here was the same as the previous village. Excellent, far better than previous years.

Li Gang didn't believe in evil, so he went to more than a dozen villages one after another to investigate the crop harvest of each village. In the end, many farmers took him home to see their own harvest this year. Seeing the bright yellow grain, Li Gang finally believed it.

"Could it be because this year's weather is better than previous years?" They were resting in a small town at night, Li Gang had already eaten, and asked sleepily while sitting in the courtyard.

"Master Li, the weather this year is no different from previous years, it's basically the same." Yanchuan county magistrate shook his head.

"Is it only in your Yanchuan County that the harvest is good? What about other places?" Li Gang asked again.

"As far as I know, this year's harvest in Koryo is far better than previous years. Almost all the farmers have had a bumper harvest," said the leader of Yanchuan County.

Li Gang was very surprised in his heart. In fact, there were signs of a bumper grain harvest in Korea last year, but it was not as obvious as this year.This year's grain output is twice that of previous years, which is really unbelievable. You know, the land is still the same land, and the farmers are still the same farmers. Why did the grain output suddenly increase so much.Although many agricultural model workers have been established this year, and the planting experience of many model workers has begun to spread, but after all, the time is too short, and the spread of those excellent planting experiences is very limited, and it is impossible for the entire Korean agriculture to advance by leaps and bounds.

"I can't figure it out! I really can't figure it out!" Li Gang shook his head.

At this moment, the host who entertained them walked into the room. He also heard the conversation between Li Gang and Yanchuan county magistrate, and he grinned and said: "My lords, the main reason is that the land belongs to us. That's right, so it's very exciting to work! I have endless energy all over my body, and I work hard from morning to night to do farm work, and this year's harvest is naturally far more than previous years!"

Li Gang shook his head, feeling that it is still unbelievable. The land, personnel, and planting methods have not changed, so it is impossible for the harvest to increase so much!

Everyone has already fallen asleep, but Li Gang is still thinking about this problem, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

In fact, if we carefully study many phenomena in later generations, we can easily figure out that the current problem is all due to the system, just like the Chinese rural areas in later generations suddenly changed from rural communes to household contracting, and the land is still the same. , the farmers are still the same group of farmers, and the planting technology is still the same as before, but suddenly the harvest has been greatly improved!Before household contracting, the vast majority of people in China did not have enough to eat. In that difficult era, many people died of starvation. Some people said that millions of people died of starvation, and some even said that tens of millions of people died of starvation. , so far no definite conclusion has been reached.However, after the implementation of household contracting, the problem of food for farmers was solved in only one year. In the second and third years, farmers had surplus grain in their hands. After a few years, farmers began to have spare energy to do some side jobs Many farmers were freed from the land.

Now the changes in Goryeo are the same as those in rural China in later generations. Due to the change of the system, the agricultural productivity has suddenly developed by leaps and bounds, and the agricultural harvest has doubled. It can be expected that such a system will continue to be implemented. The problem will be completely solved, and many people will be freed from agriculture and join in industry or commerce.

Speaking of it, the agricultural yield per mu in Goryeo is far inferior to that of later generations. In later generations, the yield per mu of wheat could reach six to seven hundred catties, and even as high as one hundred catties, but now it is only one or two hundred catties.However, unlike later generations, the per capita land area in this era is much larger than that of later generations.In later generations, the combined population of North and South Korea exceeded 7000 million, while the current Koryo has a population of only 500 million.As for the Northeast region, the population is even smaller, now there are only more than a million people, and there will be a population of [-] million in later generations!Therefore, the current per capita land area is more than ten times that of later generations. If the Northeast is developed, the per capita land area of ​​Northeast China will be dozens of times or even more than that of later generations. <Rumbling, I vaguely think it's because of the system, but I'm not sure, he still looks unbelievable.

All the way from Yanchuan to the south, all the towns and villages we passed were full of harvest scenes, and the farmers were extremely excited.In addition to transporting wheat back to the granary, many farmers have already begun to prepare for planting autumn grain.It's just that at this time, there are no crops such as yam and tomato for later generations. Now we can only grow some sorghum, autumn buckwheat, or some cabbage, radish, etc. for winter consumption.

"Although the people's harvest far exceeds that of previous years, the government may not get more grain than before! In the past, the agricultural tax in Korea was more than 20%, but now the governor only collects [-]%! In my opinion, this year's grain tax is at most the same as in previous years. !" Among Li Gang and his party, there was a young man who was less than [-] years old. This young man looked somewhat similar to Li Gang, and said at this moment.

This person is Li Gang's nephew, whose name is Wang Shan. He was originally from his hometown in the Central Plains, but was later taken to Korea by Li Gang, and now he is doing some official business with Li Gang.

After hearing what his nephew said, Li Gang shook his head and said: "You are wrong, it is definitely not like this! This year's agricultural tax revenue in Korea will also far exceed the previous one! You forgot, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the previous In Korea, there are many people who do not pay the agricultural tax!"

"This..." Wang Shan was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized.

In the Song Dynasty and the previous Goryeo, ordinary poor peasants had to pay taxes, but if a person had fame, he didn’t have to pay taxes!In ordinary landlord families, because the family is rich, the sons and daughters have received a good education. Therefore, some of the sons and daughters are often able to pass the examination of scholar, and some even pass the exam.Once you are a scholar, the agricultural tax will be half of that of ordinary people, and if you are selected, all agricultural taxes will be exempted.

More than half of the land in the Song Dynasty and Korea was in the hands of landlords and scholar-bureaucrats. A large part of them did not pay taxes, and the government naturally received very limited agricultural taxes.Therefore, it is difficult for both the Song Dynasty and the former Koryo to support a large number of troops.The Song Dynasty was better, with relatively developed commerce, so there was a commercial tax as a supplement. As for the previous Koryo, commerce was also very backward, so it was difficult for them to support a population of 500 million and a force of 10.In the end, if it weren't for the battle to destroy the country, it would be impossible to have more than 20 troops.

"Such a large amount of food can support hundreds of thousands of troops to fight all year round! In addition, our soldiers in Liangshan are all brave, and they are not inferior to those brave real women! Given time, sooner or later, the world will be controlled by the general!" Wang Shan's youthful heart, said with a smile.

Li Gang nodded, deeply agreeing with this.If you just have soldiers, you may not be able to win the world. Now that Koryo is still governed so well and the agriculture is so developed, it is impossible to control the world.

Along the way, in addition to seeing farmers in the fields, they were also able to see many officials.In this harvest season, many officials have gone to the countryside to check the harvest situation, and at the same time help farmers deal with some disputes in the fields.This was never the case in Goryeo before.

A few days later, Li Gang and his party arrived in Pyongyang, which is also one of the important cities of Korea.The population here is quite large, the commerce is also very developed, and there are voices of hawking everywhere.

Originally, Li Gang and others were walking quietly on the street. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance. It seemed that countless people were cheering for something!

"What's going on? Let's go and have a look!" Li Gang asked curiously.

At that moment, Li Gang was striding forward, and a group of Shi Cong hurriedly followed him forward.After walking for about two miles, I saw a huge stage in an open space in front of me. More than a dozen young people were performing on the stage. There were many young people, middle-aged and old people watching the play below. They were the ones who made the cheers just now. of.

Li Gang couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while, but gradually his expression began to change.The content of the opera above turned out to be that the governor led the young people to overthrow the King of Korea, and at the same time, countless Confucian disciples were knocked to the ground!The whole drama is full of so-called "everyone is equal", so-called "no exploitation" and other content that Li Gang is not used to.

"How can this be!" Li Gang was furious in his heart.

Right now he was about to rush towards the stage, but the shi slaves next to him hurriedly pulled him back, all the shi slaves were drenched in sweat.

"What are you going to do? The people above are acting out some outrageous things. If I want to stop them, can't I?" Li Gang gritted his teeth and asked.
