After the college entrance examination, bring a system to serve as a soldier

Chapter 201

"It's really refreshing to cool off on this beach in summer, and my father is a little reluctant to go back to Xianyang!"

Ying Zheng leisurely leaned on the beach, enjoying the cool sea breeze and chilled fruit wine, only to feel that the fatigue of the review of the day's twists and turns was completely gone, and it was not pleasant.

"If you like, my father will stay here for a while longer. "

"Anyway, if you take the waterway, you can return to Xianyang from Songhai City in a few days. "

"It's a pity that the Grand Canal is still under construction, otherwise Erchen can enjoy the taste of fireworks going down to the south of the Yangtze River in June with his father. "

Fusu said with a smile.

Compared with the scorching heat of Xianyang City, this seaside is simply a fairyland on earth.

Especially at this moment, there is no industrial pollution, the sea breeze is very refreshing, and the beach is also very clean, after a busy day, it is like a dream to enjoy the night sky on the beach together.

"The volume of transportation by water is indeed much stronger than that by land. "

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Now with the development of shipping, all counties along the Grand Canal have accelerated their progress, and at most by next year, the Grand Canal will be fully connected." "

"When the time comes, you and I, father and son, will go to Jiangnan to inspect the Grand Canal together!"

Fusu smiled slightly.

Today's First Emperor has fully realized the benefits of water transport and sea trade, and has become a staunch supporter of the strategy from land to sea.

You can also start to think about the next strategy of the Great Voyage.

By the way, this spice all over the mountains of the South Seas should be a good introduction.

You must know that these spices are not only in Daqin, but also in neighboring countries, and even in Rome and other places, and they are still luxury goods today.

The profits in it were enough to make the Great Qin Maritime Merchants crazy.

Moreover, it can also deal a fatal blow to the economic foundation on which the Mauryan Dynasty depends, and speed up the pace of attacking the Mauryan Dynasty.

......

The next day, Ying Zheng and the courtiers were discussing court affairs, and Zhang Han suddenly walked in with a carrier pigeon.

"Your Majesty, good news from Nanhai County!"

Zhang Han said with excitement on his face.

"Nanhai County?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince transplanted it to Nanhai County after the auspicious harvest last autumn, and has successfully planted it for two seasons, both of which have achieved a bumper harvest!"

"This auspicious potato, a total of more than 100,000 acres of land are planted, and the yield per mu is an average of 83 stones!"

"The total harvest is more than 10 million stones!"

Zhang Han was ecstatic and handed over the specific report.

There was a dead silence in the hall.

The officials looked at each other in disbelief.

How long has it been since Nanhai County has actually planted two seasons of potatoes?

In the end, the harvest actually exceeded 10 million stones?

If it's true, then Daqin, isn't it, it's gone?

Even with the great development of commerce, Daqin is essentially a country based on agriculture.

After all, filling the stomach is the first priority of the people, and it is the most basic survival need.

Therefore, when they learned about the potato production at that time, Yingzheng and the courtiers were overjoyed, and even a little out of shape.

However, they all think that although this auspicious rui is good, it will be promoted at least until the end of the year, or even next year.

Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected surprise now.

This season, tens of millions of stones of grain can be harvested, which is enough to meet the needs of the people of Xiaobandaqin.

If it is transplanted to Guanzhong and planted for another season?

Ying Zheng and the others couldn't believe the terrible food figures.

Feng Quji and the others almost thought they had misheard.

Just before, they were still worried that the great commercial development of Fusu would have a great effect on Daqin.

But will there be an embarrassing situation in which all the peasants go to work or devote themselves to business, resulting in no one farming?

But now, Fusu only used a little more than 100,000 acres of land to grow almost one-fifth of the total output of grain that was taxed in the first half of the year before Great Qin.

Why are you worried about the lack of food?

Fusu smiled faintly.

Food is the foundation of the country, how could he, as the prince of Great Qin, forget this?

Therefore, all the favorable conditions of Daqin were taken advantage of early, and at the end of last year, the potatoes were transplanted to Nanhai County, and an extra season of winter potatoes was planted by taking advantage of the hot climate in the south.

Now it's really working.

And sweet potatoes and super rice are also in the process of planting.

After the autumn harvest, there will be an even bigger surprise.

"Haha, I'm Daqin, I don't have to worry about food anymore!"

"I'm going to have a headache in the future, I'm afraid that there is too much food, and I can't finish it at all, haha!"

Neshi was dancing like crazy.

The officials looked at each other with understanding.

They all know very well what this internal history of governance has become for food in previous years.

Now it's finally coming out.

In addition to the skyrocketing commercial taxes, the more and more abundant deposits of the bank, and the continuous inflow of gold, silver and copper from Fusang Island and other places, Daqin really has no worries about money and food.

The group couldn't help but look at Fusu one after another.

They all know that it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is changing everything.

"Thanks to Fusu, you!"

Ying Zheng was also full of gratification.

"Father, except for the sons, now that the time is ripe for tax reduction, you might as well reduce the land tax of the people of Daqin to one percent!"

"Ten years, gradually abolish all agricultural taxes!"

Fusu arched his hand.

"This?"

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but hesitate.

It's really Fusu's suggestion, it's too amazing.

"Father, now my Great Qin's commercial tax is more than ten times that of the agricultural tax, and the proportion is still increasing, and the abolition of the agricultural tax has no greater influence on the Great Qin than imagined!"

"It's better to leave these harvests to the people, so that the people who insist on farming can have more harvests!"

"On the contrary, we should worry that after the bumper grain harvest, because the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, it is necessary to set up a protective price to protect the price, buy a large amount of surplus grain in the hands of the people, and fill the grain depot. "

In this way, it not only ensures that the court has food in its hands, but also allows the people to really get benefits. "

"Anyway, if the people have surplus money, it will be deposited in the bank, or it will be spent as a commercial tax and returned to the treasury, and the court will definitely not lose. "

Fusu patiently explained.

Ying Zheng and the officials suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Quasi-play!"

After a long time, Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief, looking at Fusu's face, full of pride that could not be concealed.

Daqin has Fusu, which is really the greatest luck.

And he, the father emperor, will also benefit immensely from the various benevolent policies of Fusu.

From now on, who dares to say that he is a politician and not a benevolent monarch through the ages?
