The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 351 Xingnong Increases Income
The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Ran had already stood up, looking at the two bags of seeds wrapped in plastic bags in his hands, he was quite speechless.

Two high-level lottery privileges, in exchange for these two bags, seeds, I don't know what the result will be.Although the system boasted that it was incomparably awesome, the result would only be known after the experiment.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

A bag of hybrid rice seeds is marked as one kilogram, which is quite a lot, but it is estimated that it can only be a few acres of land.If you want to spread it, you have to wait until it grows up in the next year.

There are estimated to be dozens of slender branches in that bag of sugarcane seeds, but according to the description of the system, as long as it is given a field, it will reproduce and grow by itself, without having to work hard like rice.

Chen Ran weighed it twice, smiled slightly, then pushed open the door and walked out.

In the courtyard, Chen Ran saw Cai Yan's figure, with a slender figure and a beautiful face. Although the clothes were not flashy, it was hard to conceal her beauty.

Chen Ran stayed in the room all night by himself, but there was no time to be ashamed between husband and wife, and Chen Ran felt a little guilty.

"Yan'er, why did you wake up so early?" Chen Ran asked softly.

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, and saw Chen Ran, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Husband, I went to bed early yesterday, and woke up in the morning, so I got up first."

Immediately, Cai Yan's face darkened, and he said: "But my husband worked hard last night, planning big things, but my concubine is helpless..."

Chen Ran was also funny. Although he stayed alone all night, he didn't do anything, but he didn't expect Cai Yan to have such an idea.

Chen Ran held it in one hand, touched Cai Yan's forehead with the other, and said with a smile: "Ha, you don't have to worry, my husband can handle these things. There are still important things to do today, and when I return in the evening, my husband will come to favor you you."

Chen Ran's tone was half joking and half serious, but he didn't expect that Cai Yan's face would suddenly turn red and shy, but he still murmured, "Yeah."

This shy and coquettish demeanor made Chen Ran go crazy. He really wanted to hug him into the room and give him a vigorous clapping.

Well, there is still business, Chen Ran suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and as Cai Yan signaled, he left with two bags of seeds.

Cai Yan was thinking about Chen Ran, but for a moment he didn't notice the two bags of seeds in Chen Ran's hand.

……

When Chen Ran left the mansion, he went straight to the official office.

He rode the white dragon horse, and it didn't take long before he arrived at the gate of the official office.He was wearing ordinary clothes, but his appearance was already known to everyone, so he got off his horse and entered the official office.

Knowing Chen Ran's identity, the officials, big and small, naturally did not dare to slack off and saluted one after another.

"I have met my lord!" Jia Xu and the two were already in the official office, seeing Chen Ran coming, they hurriedly saluted.

Chen Ran waved his hands with a smile, and said, "It's okay, what's the matter these few days?"

Jia Xu clasped his hands and said, "Zibu handles the government affairs very well. All the affairs are in order. The counties are also as before. Nothing major happened."

Chen Ran knew that when the two took office, they acted decisively, eliminated a large number of officials, and selected other newcomers, not to mention other counties, anyway, Shouchun City is definitely a thriving school now.

For example, those people under Zang Yu's subordinates before, if they are capable, they can still be retained, but if they are incompetent, they will be kicked out by the two of them.

Now that Chen Ran is as majestic as the sun, and the two rely on Chen Ran to do things, naturally no one dares to disobey.

Moreover, the two took office only for a few days, and they appointed an assessment system, which was distributed to all counties, and all assessments were carried out according to this. If they failed, they would also be resigned directly.

Thinking about Chen Ran's current prestige, these county guards would never dare to disobey Chen Ran's orders.

Although this assessment system was proposed by Chen Ran, the specific system was discussed by the two of them. Although it is not known which of the two is in the lead, the result of the discussion by Chen Ran and Chen Ran agrees.

This is talent!There are many top talents in the Three Kingdoms, but Chen Ran met not many.Chen Ran said that if there is an opportunity in the future, he must dig a lot of corners.

Now there are not many capable people under Chen Ran, so the two of them can work together and work hard, which is naturally the best.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about Jia Xu's loyalty, Zhang Zhao can go to him by himself, and it is impossible for him to harbor ulterior motives, and Chen Ran can trust these two.

Chen Ran relaxed, nodded slightly, and said, "It's fine if there's nothing to do, if it's not an urgent matter, you two should decide on your own."

The two looked at each other, and seemed a little happy. Chen Ran's ability to give them such power was naturally a recognition of their trust and ability.

It was better for Jia Xu to be scheming, but for Zhang Zhao, who was young, he felt that Chen Ran could trust him so much because of his bole, so he became more determined in his heart.

Jia Xu was good at observing words and expressions, he sized Chen Ran's eyes, it was not difficult to see that Chen Ran didn't come here today to gossip with them, so he cupped his hands and asked, "My lord, is there something important here?"

Chen Ran laughed, then nodded and said: "Wen He's words are right, I'm here today, I really have something important to do!"

With a flash in Chen Ran's eyes, he said, "What's the situation in the treasury now?"

Zhang Zhao's face was also darkened, and he bowed and said: "My lord, I almost forgot about my humble position. Although the treasury is abundant now, if it continues like this, it will be exhausted in the next year at most."

Chen Ran said calmly: "I came here today for this purpose."

Zhang Zhao said again: "My lord has ordered before to collect taxes from the counties and bring them into the state treasury. However, in recent years, Yangzhou has been plagued by bandits, and many people have fled to become bandits. The harvests of the counties are extremely poor, and it may be difficult to support them."

Now Yangzhou has not been developed, and its economic strength is far behind that of the Central Plains. It is difficult to compare even the grain production. Today's Yangzhou is not the future Yangzhou.

If you want to develop Yangzhou, agriculture is the first to bear the brunt. Although commerce is the most powerful weapon for development, if the basic agriculture is not complete, how to develop commerce is just empty talk.

"I understand that the most important thing now is to develop agriculture." Chen Ran thoughtfully said: "Now the treasury is unable to make ends meet. As for increasing income, that is exactly the purpose of my coming here today."

Zhang Zhao's face changed when he heard the words, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "My lord, this matter must never happen. People's livelihood in Yangzhou is exhausted now. If taxes are increased, the people's grievances will boil over."

Chen Ran was stunned, feeling that Zhang Zhao misunderstood what he meant, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and replied: "No, what I said about increasing revenue is not tax collection, but increasing grain production, grain production increases, tax revenue will naturally increase. "

Today's taxes are mainly paid in kind.

Zhang Zhao was taken aback, even Jia Xu was a little confused, could it be that the lord is also proficient in agriculture?
