Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 398 Autumn Harvest Results!

If Cao Cao knew the situation in Xuzhou at this moment, I don't know how he would feel?

At this moment, Yuan Tan was standing on the city wall of Xuzhou City, looking at the loads of grain and grass that were being transported into the city, thinking so viciously.

In front of Yuan Tan, a light curtain that only exists in his field of vision opened, behind the one with the remaining shock.

As the autumn harvest comes to an end, the effects of composting are proving to be not just a gimmick, but a real gem that can increase food production!
The impact brought along with this news is that the people of the entire Xuzhou, and even the four states of the Central Plains, have learned of the news through the gathering of tourist businessmen in Xuzhou.

It became an important source of Yuan Tan's sudden increase in shock points this time, and the number and speed of its growth far exceeded any previous ones!
People regard food as their heaven, and the reverse of this sentence is also true.

For the common people, they don't care who is going to sit in the world. They only care about one thing most, that is the harvest of the fields and the output of the crops.

The bumper crops had a much greater impact on the emotions of the people than the melee between the princes.

"Your Majesty, the results have been calculated."

Just as Yuan Tan was looking at the wildly rising shock point balance and was delighted, behind him, Zhuge Jin, who was also standing on the city wall, was summoned in a low voice by the officials who were arranged to count this year's taxes under the city wall.

After a while, Zhuge Jin's footsteps sounded from behind Yuan Tan again.

Although Zhuge Jin had always been prudent, after hearing the exact number from the officials, Zhuge Ziyu, an honest man, couldn't help walking with a bit of elegance.

That is to say, Yuan Tan is standing in front of him at this moment, and his subordinates are behind him, otherwise Zhuge Jin really wants to sing a song!
The grain output in Xuzhou in the first season, according to the official statistics just now, is the military field cultivated by the Xuzhou military government alone, which is a full 450 million shi!

And with the addition of the fields allocated to the refugees, there is a total grain output of 700 million shi!

You know, whether it is the barren land allocated to refugees or the military land cultivated by the military government, the tax collection standards for the first three years are all eight public and two civilians.

After all, whether it is government soldiers or refugees, their first-year rations, resettlement rations when they first arrived in Xuzhou, settlement expenses for joining the army, and so on.

But they are all issued by the government. Although the taxes of the eight publics and the two people are high, no matter whether they are government soldiers or "new Xuzhou people", they have no objection to this.

In other words, from the refugees and government soldiers alone, the taxes in the first quarter can receive 560 million stones of food and grass!
If the taxes paid by Xuzhou's aborigines are included, the first quarter of this year's taxes in Xuzhou will be a full 700 million tons!

Not to mention, with the end of the autumn harvest, the rush to plant the second season of rice has also begun, and it will be possible to harvest again before December arrives.

Although the output of the second-crop rice is generally not as good as that of the first-crop rice, it is helped by fertilizers and the restoration of the soil fertility brought about by the first round of cultivation.

Even if it has been reduced, in Zhuge Jin's view, at least another 400 million to 500 million shi of taxes can be reaped!

"So, by the time of the twelfth lunar month, the stock of grain and grass in my treasury in Xuzhou will exceed tens of millions?"

Yuan Tan turned around and said in surprise.

Although Yuan Tan himself is the main force in promoting the composting method, to be honest, even Yuan Tan himself did not expect the effect of fertilizer to be so good.

Originally, Yuan Tan estimated that it would be good if the production could be increased by half a stone to one stone.

Unexpectedly, the fertilizer doubled for him directly.

But after thinking about it, Yuan Tan also realized that the bumper harvest in the first year of Ding'an was not only due to the fertilizer.

There was also the drought last year that spread to the entire Central Plains, and even to Hebei.

As a result, many pests that were originally hidden in the land of Xuzhou were killed. In addition, the climate in the first year of Ding'an can be called a good weather.

Even if there is no fertilizer, this year will be a bumper harvest, and the appearance of fertilizer will add a buff to the original bumper harvest, which is the one with excellent effect.

In addition, there is also the promotion of new farm tools. Those who cultivate the barren fields are all refugees and government soldiers, and most of the government soldiers are also refugees.

Their longing for the land and yearning for a stable life, as well as the big cake that Yuan Tan drew for them, after three years of farming, they can assign the cultivated land to their own names and pay the same tax as the people of Xuzhou.

It aroused unprecedented enthusiasm for production.

The superposition of all these factors finally created a bumper harvest that was called a miracle in the first year of Ding'an.

Hearing Yuan Tan's question, the smile on Zhuge Jin's face froze for a moment.

He has not forgotten that although he is a wise prince, to some extent it is not wrong to call him a prodigal.

When Xuzhou was in a food crisis, this Marquis Qi did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on large-scale construction projects around the city of Xuzhou.

If this lets Qi Hou know that the treasury in the granary is sufficient now, in case he thinks of some fantastic idea on impulse.

Then I, the doctor of the Minbu, will be caught blind.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Although the Lord has a good harvest this year, in contrast, no matter whether it is a mansion soldier or a regular soldier, the required military salary must be allocated. 15 mansion soldiers, 15 stone grain and fodder per month. Not to mention the annual salaries of the generals, the military department, the official department, the rite department, and the civilian department, Lin Lin always calculates that by the time of the twelfth lunar month, at least four or five million stones, grain and fodder will have to be spent!"

Looking at Zhuge Jin's long face with pain, Yuan Tan guessed after a little thought that his chief butler might have been frightened by his previous operations.

At that moment, Yuan Tan couldn't help but wryly smiled, shook his head and said, "Ziyu, you're going too far, I haven't reached the point where I waste money and food as soon as I have a lot of money."

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Zhuge Jin also felt embarrassed.

Among other things, the protagonist's life can indeed be called frugal.

Even in the newly built Qihou Mansion, all the facilities are only practical, and even the common decorations in the mansions of the princes are very few.

Even after the completion of the Qihou Mansion, Yuan Tan basically used the Qihou Mansion as a government office.

The built main hall of the Qihou Mansion, which covers a very large area, has completely become the political center of Xuzhou.

As for those gardens for viewing and playing, they were directly marked off by Yuan Tan at the beginning of construction.

In Yuan Tan's original words, he already had these things in his residence in Yecheng, so why build another one here?
Instead, the Martial Arts Field replaced the back garden, but how could the construction price of a building like the Martial Arts Field compare with that of the Back Garden?
So Zhuge Jin felt a little ashamed seeing her lord showing such a helpless look, and then bowed down again to apologize and said, "It's the official who made a slip of the tongue, please punish me."
