Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, Liangyi Hall.

"Hahahaha!" Li Shimin laughed happily. The Statistics Bureau under the Audit Department has just calculated the latest accounting figures, and the resulting figures made Li Shimin want to laugh three times.

"My son has the qualifications of a great emperor!" Li Shimin waved his hand excitedly and said.

Wei Zheng: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Today's Changsun Wuji is naturally closed as usual, and he knows the reason for the closure, so when he shouldn't show up, he naturally doesn't show up.

There is no other way for Fang and Wei, and they cannot escape.

"Look, look, I don't know where this kid collected these high-yield wheat seeds, maybe they came from overseas, but anyway, the yield is too high!" Li Shimin was a little excited.

"Since last winter, I heard that the warehouses outside Chang'an City have continuously transported wheat to important grain-producing areas such as Guannei Road. Know how much he promoted."

"But this year's number is really God's duty to make Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty smooth and prosperous for a thousand years! My good son, my good son!" Li Shimin was very excited.

He seldom loses his composure like this, but Fang and Wei can understand, because it is not easy for Li Shimin to ascend the throne.In the first year of Zhenguan, Jieli led troops to break into the vicinity of Longyou Road. For this reason, His Majesty had to sign a Weishui alliance with Jieli.

As His Majesty Dian said, that was not Datang's humiliation, but it was Li Shimin's humiliation.Because if Li Shimin hadn't launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, Xieli would never have had that chance.

Later, from the first year of Zhenguan to the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty suffered from disasters year after year. Drought, locust plague, frost and other disasters occurred frequently, so that His Majesty had to swallow locusts by mouth and write down the sin edict himself.

Even under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty still destroyed the Eastern Turks in the fourth year of Zhenguan!Starting from the year of Zhenguan, the surrounding countries such as East Turkic, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Gaochang, Western Turkic, Goguryeo, etc. took turns to find trouble for the Tang Dynasty.

And there is only one reason for all this, there is not enough food.

Food has always been Li Shimin's heart disease, but His Majesty was not so happy until His Royal Highness King Qin stopped hiding his clumsiness, perhaps obtained unprecedented technology from the country on the other side of the ocean, and obtained a large amount of food from Nanyang.

Because the food comes from Nanyang, in His Majesty's view, Nanyang has not been completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and it is not a long-term solution after all.

No one knows how many years Nanyang can supply Datang grain.

Although potatoes have been planted and promoted many times before, and His Majesty has even eaten them, His Majesty has never been so excited. They all know that His Majesty is waiting for the time when this food can spread to the world, and it will truly become popular in the world.

And this year, it all finally came to fruition.

According to the data given by the Bureau of Statistics, from last year to this year, the high-yield wheat seeds transported by His Royal Highness to various places in Datang totaled about 60 farmers, more than one-tenth of the farmers in Datang, accounting for almost all of the high-yielding farmers in Datang. the northern region of the land.

The 60 households planted an average of 50 mu of wheat per household, a total of 3000 million mu, and the average yield was about 4.8 shi per mu!

You must know that the average yield of wheat per mu before Datang was only about 1.7 shi!

Almost tripled!

这意味着光是这3000万亩土地所丰收的小麦就是86亿公斤！约为860万吨！按照大唐每个百姓高配每日2斤粮来算，每个百姓全年约为365公斤粮食，这些百姓一年的口粮也不过才91亿公斤而已！

3000 million mu of land can feed all the people in the Tang Dynasty, so isn't the rest of the land surplus? !

The problem is it's just wheat!The yield of potatoes is even more terrifying. The key point is that the demand for land for potatoes is lower. The total planted acres of potatoes in Datang this year is only 320 million acres, but the average yield has reached 30 shi!

This is also because a lot of land is relatively barren land!

These potatoes alone are another 57 billion catties of grain!Your Highness said that people can live by eating only these potatoes!These two alone are enough for the food life of the Tang people throughout the year, not to mention all the rice grown in the south, as well as the rice continuously shipped back from Linyi, Zhenwa, Tianzhu and other places!

I heard that the mountain people in Yizhou and Nanzhao have been recruiting them to plant rice in Linyi, Lusong and other places. The rice in those places can be grown three times a year!There is no shortage of food!

In the future, Datang will not be short of food, can His Majesty be unhappy? !

And after one year of planting this year, these high-yield seeds will be replanted next year, and potato seeds will be popularized all over the world. No one will starve to death in this Tang Dynasty!

It is understandable that His Majesty lost his composure today.

How is it possible for the people in the world to eat one kilogram of grain per day.Obviously, the price of food in Tang Dynasty will not go up in the future. Of course, His Highness said that it is impossible for the price of food to fall.

Tang Grain Reserves has already applied to the central bank, and started to carry out the grain collection policy. The price of grain in Datang, the price of wheat will be stabilized at 100 cash per stone, and the price of corn will also be stabilized at 80 cash. Rice may It will be more expensive and stable at 110 a stone.

This is the subsidy price given to farmers by the Tang Grain Reserve this year on behalf of the treasury to collect grain.

This year the people will definitely have a prosperous year!The average household in the Tang Dynasty had less than 5 people, so counting as 5 people, one kilogram of grain per person per day, the whole family only had 1800 kilograms of grain a year, and about 30 shi of grain was enough to eat.

However, the income of the people is 240 shiliang, so if each household sells 200 shiliang, this is 20 guan money!When will the people of the Tang Dynasty be able to earn 20 yuan a year from farming?

Not to mention that this has not counted the income of the other 50 mu.

"Xuanling." Li Shimin said happily.

"The minister is here."

"This year's grain collection has not yet started, now let Tang Chuliang start to collect grain, and announce the agricultural subsidy to the whole world!"

"In the same way, the grain production is also announced to the world! Don't forget, it's all thanks to Li Ke! This is left to the officials below to publicize, and don't use the Datang Weekly."

"The other thing is to let the local officials announce to the people in areas with few fields that there are a lot of barren and inhabited land in the Tang Dynasty that needs to be planted. For those who are willing to migrate, the imperial court will subsidize their travel expenses and food for a year! "Li Shimin waved his hand.

Lao Tzu is also rich now.Naturally, it is generous!

Anyway, there is a lot of food collected, and this year's food can't be eaten up. Subsidize the travel expenses and food for these people who are willing to immigrate!As long as you are willing to immigrate, you can talk about it!

Let all the land in the world be planted!
