After becoming a fairy, Blue Star's hometown contacted me

Chapter 136 Prosperity, Isn't It That Simple!
"Young master, are you serious?"

Zhao Yingluo's beautiful eyes are like the bright moon, full of luster.

"You guys think, if you want to solve people's livelihood, where should you start?"

Liu Xian did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

This question made everyone ponder.

"Food is the most important thing for the people. If we want to achieve a glorious and prosperous world where the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widows, widows, lonely, and sick will all be supported. The problem of food should be solved first."

Feng Xiaolian gave the answer first.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

"What Fairy Feng said is very true. People can't live without food. Only when the people are rich can they be able to help others. If the people have no clothes to cover their bodies and food to eat, how can we ask for more from them." Zhao Gou praised.

Zhao Yingluo then echoed, "It's just like that. Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as they can eat enough, it is already a rich life for the people of the world."

"Since you all know that food is the most important thing for the people, have you ever understood how the output of ordinary people is?"

Liu Xian continued to ask.

As soon as this question came up, Gao Wei was immediately stunned.

The output problem of ordinary people, where has he come into contact with such a thing.

Even Zhao Gou and Zhao Yingluo frowned and fell into doubt.

They are the sons of princes and princes, and they have never had contact with real ordinary people, let alone pay attention to this issue.

If Liu Xian asked about Lingtian and Linggu, they could still give some answers, but for ordinary people, it is really embarrassing for them.

At this slightly embarrassing moment, Zhao Hede gave the answer with a voice like a spring.

"Fine fields for ordinary people can produce about 260 catties per mu, middle fields can yield about 100 catties per mu, and Xiatian fields can only produce more than [-] catties per mu. This is a year with good weather, and the harvest of ordinary people. , There is no guarantee for the harvest of ordinary people.”

"An ordinary family of five, with two adults, one young man, and two children, needs to consume seven catties of grain every day to meet the basic needs of life, which is 550 five catties a year. According to the law of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ordinary people need to pay grain tax, distribution tax, head tax, weather tax, rain-seeking tax, etc., and all kinds of exorbitant taxes account for more than [-]% of the harvest.”

"Therefore, a family of five needs 110 catties of grain a year if they want to have enough food and clothing. Based on the production of about 25 mu in Zhongtian, a family of five needs at least [-] mu of Zhongtian to ensure food and clothing. But this kind of food and clothing is not enough. Stable, once encountering a disaster year, there is no means of defense."

"If you want to keep something in good years and ensure food and clothing in disaster years, you need at least [-] acres of Zhongtian."

Zhao Hede's analysis was well-founded, which made Gao Wei, Zhao Gou and others all surprised and admired.

"Sister Hede's calculations are generally good, but she missed two points."

But facing Zhao Hede's analysis, Feng Xiaolian gave a completely different opinion.

She said indifferently: "Sister Hede only counted the tax, but did not count the corvee and the annual salute."

Corvée refers to the unpaid labor that civilians are forced to perform, including forced labor, miscellaneous labor, and military service.

In this era, ordinary people not only have no money to work for the government, but also have to prepare their own dry food.Compared with those messy taxes, corvee is something that ordinary people are more afraid of.Because working for the government, not only can't be busy with their own affairs, but also prepare their own dry food.The most frightening thing is that if you don't do it well, you will die, and if you do it well, you may die!

"There is no fixed number of corvée, the regulations are different in different places, and the time required to serve is not fixed every year. I don't know much about corvée, so I didn't count corvée into it. But what my sister taught me is that if corvée is counted, before There is a huge deviation in the analysis, which is difficult to count.”

Zhao Hede admitted his mistake very simply, and he also understood that he really missed a problem.

It was Zhao Yingluo's first contact with the lives of ordinary people. After hearing about all kinds of taxes and corvees, she couldn't help turning pale and said with emotion.

"It turns out that the burden of ordinary people is so heavy."

"Excuse me, Fairy Feng, what is respect?"

"The so-called respect is the incense money that the people of the world have to offer to the Emperor of Heaven every year."

"Every time the Emperor of Heaven celebrates his birthday, or the imperial court celebrates it, or encounters a happy event, the common people need to pay a respect."

"What, there is such a thing?"

Zhao Yingluo's black brows were furrowed, she was extremely surprised.

She had never heard of respect.

I have never heard of the saying that Emperor Daxia confiscated and paid homage to the local area.

Feng Xiaolian was born in a poor family, so he knows the way here very well.

She sneered: "It doesn't seem like much respect, but you have to pay it five or six times a year. After this exploitation, ordinary people have to pay at least an extra thousand catties of food."

"It's like this every year, every year, does Sister Hede think that a mere [-] acres of Zhongtian is enough for an ordinary family of five to live?"

Zhao Hede was slightly sad and sighed.

It is also the first time she has come into contact with respect, and she does not know that the burden of ordinary people is so heavy.

"In this way, counting the corvee and respect, an ordinary family of five needs at least [-] acres of middle land to ensure food and clothing every year, and even if there is a disaster, they can have some food."

"Sixty acres of Zhongtian, for an ordinary family of five, I'm afraid it's already the limit under the burden of corvee."

Zhao Gou shook his head slightly and also sighed.

One mu of land is 660 square meters.

Sixty acres of middle land is [-] square meters of farmland.

Without modern machinery, it is no easy task for a family of five to take care of [-] square meters of farmland while coping with corvee labor.

At least in Zhao Gou's view, this is already the most ideal state.

Although Gao Wei was not very smart, after listening to everyone's analysis, he roughly sorted out the context, and exclaimed: "Hiss, in this way, ordinary people have exhausted their energy and tried their best to have enough food and clothing. No wonder the ancients Clouds, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick will all be supported, and this is already a prosperous age.”

After sighing, Gao Wei looked at Liu Xian curiously, and asked in doubt: "Master, do you still think that it is easy to achieve such a prosperous world?"

"easy."

Liu Xian answered decisively in a calm manner, leaving everyone dumbfounded, and they couldn't help showing their anticipation.

Is this person arrogant or confident?

However, Liu Xian still did not give a direct answer, but asked again: "If you want to solve the food and clothing of the people in the world, where do you think we should start?"

Although everyone didn't understand what Liu Xian was selling, they still gave answers one after another.

"Output, as long as the output goes up, the lives of ordinary people will naturally be rich."

"Cultivation efficiency, [-] acres of cultivated land for an ordinary family of five is already the limit. If there is a simpler and easier farming method, it will definitely make life easier for ordinary people. The Taoist leader has developed a similar magic weapon. If It may be possible to further optimize these magic weapons and solve some troubles.”

"harvest."

"land."

Everyone said something to me, and the answers they gave were not the same.

But when they thought about it, they also felt that what other people said made sense.

After the discussion, Feng Xiaolian looked at Liu Xian with watery eyes, and said expectantly: "Young master thinks, what is the most important thing to solve the food and clothing of ordinary people."

"It's a seed."

Liu Xian spread out his right hand, and a handful of golden grains appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Very common grain.

It is not the rice from Blue Star, but the main crop eaten by ordinary people in this world, a crop called barley, which is basically the same as the wheat from Blue Star.

And this is Liu Xian's trump card!

Blue Star's modern society is based on industry, but many people have overlooked another more important issue.

seed!

Before the nineteenth century, the yield per mu in countries around the world was very low. For crops such as rice, the yield per mu was usually two to three hundred catties.

Why did the yield per mu suddenly skyrocket after modern times?

Especially in modern society, many people think that it is normal for rice to yield 1000-[-] catties per mu, more than [-] catties.

However, the fact is that hundreds of years ago, the yield per mu was very low all over the world.

It was not until the development of modern science that people paid attention to technologies such as genes and hybridization that this situation was completely changed.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to improve seeds.

It takes a lot of people to sift through countless fertile fields year after year, and to look for the same crops that are the same but slightly different.This requires not only observation skills, but also a hundred million bits of luck.A good seed often needs ten years or even decades of careful cultivation by countless people before it can be discovered and popularized.

The money, manpower and material resources consumed are immeasurable.

But in this unpredictable world of cultivating immortals, it is not particularly difficult to get a good grain seed.

At least for Liu Xian, it was a very easy and simple matter.

All it takes is a million dots of thought!
Although his current state can't change the basic laws of the universe, it shouldn't be too easy to slightly increase the output of ordinary crops.

"seed?"

Everyone looked at each other and asked the same question.

Liu Xian smiled and scattered the seeds in his hands, spreading them all over the table.

No special magical powers are required.

It only takes one thought, but the table is full of Qiu Mai growing up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Broken shells, sprouts, seedlings, fruitful.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Qiao Mai was fully mature.

The golden fruit exudes a strong aroma of wheat.

Compared with ordinary Qiao Mai, the golden ears are more than four times longer, fuller and heavier.

Blossoming golden ears weigh heavily on the wheat stalks.

"This~~~"

Feng Xiaolian stared at Qiao Mai on the table, and stood up in shock.

She was born in a poor family. She ate Qiao Mai and planted fields when she was young.

So she could see at a glance how different the Qiao Mai in front of her was from the ordinary farmer's Qiao Mai!

The ears of wheat are too big!
So full!

If ordinary people planted this kind of barley, the same one mu of land could produce at least five times more grain!

"This is Qiao Mai. This is the first time I've seen such a thing."

"But does it make any difference?"

Gao Wei looked at it for a long time, completely unable to understand the difference between Liu Xian's Qiao Mai seeds and ordinary Qiao Mai.

"The difference is huge."

Zhao Gou narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: "If ordinary people plant this kind of wheat, the same land can produce at least seven times the grain."

Liu Xian smiled and said: "These selected seeds, even if they are taken care of by ordinary people, can easily achieve a yield of [-] catties per mu, and middle fields can also produce more than [-] catties per mu. Produce more than [-] catties."

Having said that, Liu Xian is actually a little disappointed.

If only the foundations of the world were a little better.

It can be matched with more industrial products.

For things like chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu can be even higher.

It's a pity that the foundation of the world limits Liu Xian's performance.

After all, the fertility of the land is limited. After each cultivation, the land needs to be rested for a period of time to ensure the fertility of the land.He can change the basic attributes of seeds, but he has no ability to change the whole world magically.

Otherwise, he would be able to produce ten thousand catties of grain seeds per mu!
"Everyone thinks, if this kind of wheat seed and similar seeds are popularized in the world, will it be possible to achieve a prosperous age in which the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick will all be supported."

Liu Xian said with a smile while regretting.

This is his real killer.

breeding.

Choose species.

Only by fundamentally changing the cultivation can the labor force be liberated.

silence.

The terrible silence.

None of the people spoke.

Instead, he was seriously thinking about Liu Xian's answer.

Good land can yield [-] catties per mu.

Zhongtian can produce two thousand catties per mu.

If it is still calculated on the basis of the 59 mu of land for a family of five, in the past, it would have to pay about [-] catties of various taxes, which is the output of more than ten mu of land in the past.But now only the output of one mu of land is needed to meet the tax, and the output of the other [-] mu of land is all owned by the family.

In the past, more than 9000 catties of grain were obtained every year, but now the grain received every year is 12 catties!

The income has increased twelve times!
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but change their expressions.

People's income has increased twelve times, is food and clothing still a problem?
At that time, every family will be rich and have surplus food, which is not just the glorious and prosperous age imagined by the ancient sages.

However, without waiting for everyone to express their emotions, Liu Xian continued.

"Ordinary people are weak and have limited energy. It is already the limit for each person to take care of twenty or thirty acres of farmland every year. But if there is a magic weapon creation that can greatly improve the productivity of ordinary people, an ordinary person can easily take care of thousands of acres, or even several How about a thousand acres of fertile land?"

Liu Xian glanced at the crowd with a smile, and picked up the teacup leisurely.

With Blue Star's technology, ordinary people can easily take care of thousands of acres of fertile land with the help of machines.The creations forged with the magic technology of this world are far more capable than Blue Star.

Not to mention one person looking after a thousand acres, even if it is ten thousand acres of fertile land, it is not a troublesome thing.

As for land resources, there is no need to worry.

The world is vast and sparsely populated. Considering whether the land is sufficient, it is better to consider whether the population is sufficient to develop the world.

It's just that Liu Xian's words made everyone who was sighing directly shut down.

Their eyes were blank and their brains were spinning rapidly, but they couldn't keep up with Liu Xian's thoughts.

Grain seeds can increase the output of ordinary people by more than ten times.

The magic weapon creation can increase the production efficiency of ordinary people hundreds of times, or even nearly a thousand times!
In this way, one farmer can create tens of thousands of farmers in the past, no, it should be the income of [-] farmers.

Farmers themselves also need to consume a large amount of food, and tens of thousands of people consume tens of thousands of food rations every year.But now one person can produce the output of tens of thousands of people, but only need to consume one person's rations, this, this.
Even the quick-thinking Zhao Hede, Zhao Gou and others were dumbfounded at the moment.

unimaginable.

They couldn't imagine how prosperous it would be if the world described by Liu Xian appeared.

One person can easily feed 10 people!

Such a world is like a fairyland in a dream.

After a long silence, Zhao Yingluo's eyes blurred like morning stars, and she muttered to herself as if in a dream: "Does this kind of world really exist?"

"If there is such a world, the people in the world will be rich and healthy, and it will be a prosperous age that has never been seen in the ages."

Zhao Gou was so emotional that he couldn't help patting his legs.

He cannot be calm.

It was simply, simply horrific.

He couldn't even find any other words to describe it other than terrible.

The reason why there are so few practitioners in the world is not because ordinary people are exhausted in order to survive, and even their bodies are bruised.It is difficult to eat enough, what do they use to cultivate and practice martial arts.But if it is possible to realize a world of abundance for everyone and make the people of the world rich and healthy, the number of practitioners will inevitably usher in a skyrocketing increase.

A thousand times, even ten thousand times skyrocketing!

Practitioners are the foundation of the country, when the number of practitioners increases by a thousand times, ten thousand times.

Even if it is doomed that most practitioners can only do nothing.

But even if only one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand practitioners has achieved something, what does it mean?
It means that the number of strong players will appear like a blowout.

The national strength has greatly increased!

It is a hundred times, a thousand times that of the past!
This is the law of a strong country!

This is a policy that benefits the people!

Feng Xiaolian understands better the influence of fine seeds and magical creations on the people of the world, and the significance to ordinary people.

Her peach-like pupils were full of radiance, and she looked at Liu Xian excitedly.

Full of admiration.

and thinking.

Who is he?

His speech and behavior are not like ordinary people, and his words and deeds are Taoist style.

Is it
Taoist head teacher Liu Xian!

Feng Xiaolian's pupils constricted, thinking of the only person who could do all this.

"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful."

"If the good seeds in the hands of the son can be popularized, even if the magic weapons of the Daoist sect that help planting are more expensive and consume more, it is worth it."

"My son's move is really the way to strengthen the country and enrich the people. Please accept my worship."

Zhao Gou was full of thoughts, trying to understand the meaning of Liu Xian's words and the value of good seeds, so he couldn't help standing up.

With arms folded, he solemnly bowed down to Liu Xian.

This bow, I am sincerely convinced.

Although he didn't know Liu Xian's identity, it didn't affect his admiration.

"Young master is a great talent."

Zhao Yingluo's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, full of admiration and admiration, she raised her glass and offered tea to Liu Xian.

The atmosphere in the room became more eager than ever.

Everyone was talking and laughing, but the protagonist changed from Zhao Gou and Gao Wei, two princes, to Liu Xian.

While everyone was chatting, a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Mr. Shui Jing is here."
