Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 1409 Great Qin Harvest
"Your Majesty, the concubine made a rough calculation. All the food, regardless of the type, is about [-] million shi of food!"

Nanyan made a rough calculation, and couldn't help but gasp. This harvest is far more than last year, and it is an unprecedented harvest in Daqin.

It can be said that before the Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, the annual combined grain output of the former seven kingdoms, on average, could reach one-tenth of this year's harvest, which is already considered remarkable.

Before the Great Qin unified the six countries, the combined population of each country was more than 2000 million.The grain output, on average, is about 4000 million to 6000 million shi per year.

Among them, only three to four out of ten of the grain production occupied by Qin State.

It is conceivable how poor the people of other countries are.

Of course, these tens of millions of grains sounded like a lot.

In other words, it's completely different.

Take up to 6000 million shi of grain as an example, one shi of grain is equivalent to 33 catties, and 6000 million shi of grain, in conversion, is less than 20 billion catties of grain.

Using the calculation unit of this era, that is, less than 20 catties of grain.

What is this concept?
Calculated in this way, 20 billion catties of grain are distributed to 2000 million people, and each person can get almost [-] catties of grain.

And one hundred catties of grain can eat 360 for five days, that is to say, a person can only eat less than one catty of grain in three days.

This is all good, after all, there are still many costs that have not been calculated in it.

If you have to pay various taxes and so on, in the end, almost everyone can get sixty or seventy catties, which is already considered remarkable.

There are still many people who, after a year, counted headcount, can't even get [-] catties of food for each person.

This was the living conditions of the lowest-level people in various countries at the beginning.

And remove the word average, according to the differences between the rich and the poor in various countries, Daqin, ordinary people, each year, each control their diet, eighty catties to one hundred catties of grain is enough.If there is any surplus, it will be kept, and it may be donated to the Great Qin court.

This is one of the reasons why Daqin was the richest and most powerful at that time.

From this, one can imagine how rare this so-called 6000 million shi of grain is.

This year, Daqin's harvest, calculated in terms of stones, is 200 million stones, and converted into catties, it is almost [-] billion catties of grain.

Daqin now includes the Central Plains, plus the southern border, and the population of the southwest is about 6000 million.

That is to say, in conversion, each person can get almost 360 five catties of grain.

Even if all kinds of taxes are paid, according to the Daqin tax, everyone will get more than half of the grain, that is to say, at least 150 catties of grain can be obtained.

That might not seem like much, but in reality, it's enough to keep any family well off for a full year.

After all, in this era, there is no such thing as eating and drinking.Even if there is, only those aristocratic families can enjoy it.

Ordinary people can eat half a catty of grain a day, plus various other wild vegetables in the mountains, etc., they are really satisfied.

And what you need to know is that the crops in Daqin are not only these grains, but also various vegetables. As long as the growth speed is taken care of, the harvest will be more abundant than the crops.

It's just that the preservation time of vegetables is mostly not long, so they are not counted among the rice grains.

Therefore, the harvest of Daqin and the prosperity that the people will spend in the next year are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

This series of reasons also caused Nan Yan's shocked appearance at this moment.

"I also made a rough calculation, and the grain output is almost [-] million shi!"

The corner of Ying Shou's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Nan Yan's surprised and unbelievable appearance, it was inexplicably funny, and he reminded him.

He did make a rough calculation, and the amount of food and cold tea has reached more than 200 billion catties. In the words of this era, it is 200 million catties.

This is a lot, and it is also a quantity that even Ying Shou himself feels pleasantly surprised.

"hiss!"

When Nan Yan heard this, she couldn't help but gasped.

"Your Majesty, is this too much?"

Nan Yan said in disbelief.

"Hehe, empress, that's a bad word. No one in this world would dislike the abundance of food. Besides, although the output is good, it's not too much to eat!"

Ying Shou stretched out his hand and tapped Nanyan on the forehead lightly, teasingly.

Nan Yan's pretty face flushed, don't say anything, I'm afraid people will look at her with what she said just now.

What are you kidding?In this world, who would dislike a lot of food?
Even if the grain output is ten times higher this year, no one will think too much, and they will only be happier.

"Oh, the concubine is just too happy in her heart, and she is talking too fast. Your Majesty, the concubine wants to say, isn't this year my Daqin is another year of peace for the country and the people?"

Nan Yan waved her hand. She didn't know whether she was pregnant for three years or she was shocked by the food production. Even when she spoke, she felt confused.

"This battle is not over yet, Guotai Minan, where do we start?"

Ying Shou was a little amused, and refuted it back.

"Oh, I said, Your Majesty, don't always confront the concubine, okay? That's not what the concubine said!"

Nan Yan was upset, and when Ying Shou mentioned it, she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong again.

The battle of Daqin's near extinction has not come to his senses until now, where did Guotai Minan come from!

"Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say, don't be too surprised!"

Ying Shou waved his hand, interrupted Nanyan's desired expression, sighed, and said: "The war is a mistake, originally this year's harvest, according to the current situation and the previous budget, there is basically a chance to break through [-] shi. However, together with the war, the output has dropped by more than one-third!"

"The Donghu army set foot in Yandi and swept around, so that Yandi basically didn't gain much."

"In the southwestern land, after repeated wars and man-made disasters, it will not be possible to recover in three or two years. Nowadays, there are few strong men, so that the harvest is bleak!"

"Finally, there is the southern border. It is still in the flames of war, and the rebel army is looting everywhere. There are countless crops in the fields, and no one dares to harvest them in autumn, so that they are wasted."

"There is nothing wasted, and a lot of them were snatched up by the rebel army, so that they couldn't appear in my Daqin account!"

"So due to various reasons, that's all I, Daqin, can record!"

Having said that, Ying Shou couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Although he has tried his best to avoid the war from affecting the Great Qin Harvest, it cannot be completely avoided after all.

As a result, Daqin's harvest this year is still almost half, and more than one third.
