Just one day later, Zhaoguo encountered some problems in coordinating grain and grass. Since the matter of grain and grass in the reform plan was strictly stipulated as a major event, matters related to domestic grain and grass issues must be handled carefully, but in the end it was still

Something went wrong. Liu Bao, the Minister of Household Affairs, advocated planting high-yield crops in spring and autumn, and reserve 40% of the harvested grain and grass, and the remaining 60% was invested in market sales and relief for disaster victims.

However, this idea has been opposed by many people. If only 40% of the country's grain and grass is retained, the needs of the court alone will be as much as more than 30%. There is also the supply and demand of the army's grain and grass. Where will the food be drawn from? The 40% of the grain and grass will be used up.

, the national granary reserves did not save any grain and grass, and all was invested in the market and relief for the victims.

While everyone pointed out Liu Bao's mistakes, the new Diannong Zhonglang Jia Sixie began his analysis: "There are actually many flaws in Master Liu's plan.

First, if only 40% of the harvested grain and grass is left, then the court's supply and demand will need 30%, and the army's supply and demand will be greatly reduced. The common people need to keep some of the harvested grain and grass, which is more than 50%.

Second, it is easier to explain. If all the grain and grass used by the imperial court are used up, then there will be no grain reserves in the granary. How should we deal with sudden wars or disasters? "

Everyone present nodded. What Jia Sixie said was very reasonable. Although 60% of the grain and grass were transferred outside, if it was put into the market for sale, it is very likely that it would not be sold out, or even the grain would be spoiled because it had not been kept intact for a long time.

Wouldn't it be a pity if it fell?

Immediately afterwards, Jia Sixie stepped forward and pointed to the current location of the granary and said: "Look, these granaries were newly built recently, but there is not a single grain of extra grain in the granaries. Our current task should be placed here."

Let’s start with a few large granaries, fill them up first, and then think about sales!”

Zhang Quanyi, the commander of the Diannong Mansion, nodded with great admiration. Jia Sixie was the most outstanding agricultural talent in history. Compared to him, he was really just a master of his own trade.

"What Mr. Jia said is that Liu Shangshu should not only think about the financial issues of the treasury, but also think about the people's livelihood issues. This is also a very important link for the country itself."

But Liu Bao just thinks that grain and grass should be put into the market in large quantities for sale. People's consumption of grain and grass can replenish the national treasury and allow people to buy good grain at the right price. Isn't this better?

However, he only thought about marketing methods, but forgot one very important thing, that is, the wealthy businessmen who supported Feng Hao. Once they took advantage of the opportunity, deliberately monopolized the sales of grain and grass and drove up prices, they would lose more than just grain.

No, it's the people's livelihood and financial shortage.

Liu Bao knew that he seemed very intrusive here, and if he stayed any longer, the group of people would not be able to attack him in groups, so he deliberately found a reason to leave: "Then I will do what you said, I am not good at it."

If there are agricultural issues, we won’t get involved in this matter.”

In this way, the problem of food and grass was solved, but there were also some problems within the officials, that is, about Liu Bao. The scope of Liu Bao's intervention was too wide. He also intervened in the food and grass matter, although it was Feng Hao's.

I gave you a hint, but you can’t do this.

So Zhang Quanyi found Feng Hao and asked him to explain to all the officials involved in the grain and grass issue. Liu Bao was originally a businessman, so it was okay for him to buy and sell. Did he really understand the grain and grass issue?

"Your Majesty, can you give us an explanation?"

Feng Hao was actually careless. He only wanted to pay back the money quickly, but forgot that Liu Bao was a businessman. However, Liu Bao voluntarily quit the food issue, which is already the best. At least he did not mess up this matter.

.

"It was my negligence. Liu Bao didn't lie to you, did he?"

Zhang Quanyi described what had just happened to Feng Hao in detail. It seemed that Liu Bao was only suitable for business issues, but he was still not competent for food and grass issues.

However, the issue of grain and grass is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue. Although the Diannong Prefecture was established to directly govern the issue of grain and grass on national land, the Diannong Prefecture is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, so Liu Bao can still intervene in the issue of grain and grass.

"I won't let Liu Bao interfere with your problems anymore. You and Jia Sixie are solely responsible for the food and grass reserves. If anything happens, I will take care of you."

With Feng Hao's words, Zhang Quanyi dared to really hold his head high in front of everyone. Diannong Mansion has been under Liu Bao's control since its establishment. All grain and grass affairs were messed up by Liu Bao, leading to the current situation.

There was no grain left. Originally, there was more than half of the grain in the granary in the capital. As soon as he took office, he emptied the granary of grain and put it all into the market to sell. As a result, he made money and the price of grain rose again.

After Zhang Quanyi conveyed Feng Hao's instructions to the officials of Diannong Mansion, everyone was very happy and finally stopped letting the businessman interfere with the grain and grass matters. However, the most difficult problem now is that spring has just begun and everything has just begun.

How to plant and how to plant is the question.

Jia Sixie, who was sitting at the table, thought for a while and said after a while: "The book "Essentials for Qi Min" written by me records the production and demand of a large number of crops. Judging from the land under our feet, it is

Although the red soil is easy to drain, it is fertile and the weather is enough to allow these food crops to be harvested twice or three times a year."

In other words, what Jia Sixie means can be planted based on the "Essentials of Qi Min" he wrote as an official point of view, but it cannot be copied absolutely. There are still some differences between this world and the real world. Although this place is like

It is very similar to the Jiangnan area, but it is not exactly the same as Jiangnan.

Only then did Zhang Quanyi remember that Jia Sixie's "Essential Art of Qi Min" had been applied, promoted and imitated by later generations. It was a book written by a generation of peasant saints and was absolutely official.

"Then let Master Jia's "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People" be the official standard. From today on, all Diannong officials in Diannong Prefecture will study the book written by Master Jia all night long. Remember not to copy it, but to experiment according to the actual situation.

Only after some time can we carry out actual operations.”

Everyone nodded and said: "Yes!"

Jia Sixie also said on the side: "Everyone, we can't go too far now. We have to look at the current actual situation. We should start from the beginning and gradually improve the food problem. The current task is not to achieve the yield per mu, but to expand the area.

food to prepare for the country’s uncertain future.”

Everyone admired Jia Sixie's words and unanimously said: "Your Majesty, we will take your words to heart!"

As a result, Zhao State's food problem was successfully solved with the cooperation of Jia Sixie and Zhang Quanyi, and a series of agricultural production plans were proposed, which were adopted and revised by the officials of Diannong Mansion.

Feng Hao was very dissatisfied with the fact that Liu Bao, the Minister of Revenue, had delayed so many people's time by messing around. However, he still needed his support in the business field, so he could only give him a warning to make him do well. Without him,
Chapter completed!
