Da Qin: Destroyed the Xiongnu at the beginning

"It is really refreshing to cool off at the beach in summer, and my father is reluctant to go back to Xianyang!"

Ying Zheng leaned leisurely on the beach, enjoying the cool sea breeze and ice-cold fruit wine. He felt that the fatigue of reviewing the memorial for a day was completely gone, and he felt very comfortable.

"If you like it, father can just stay here for a little longer."

"Anyway, if you take the water route, 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 I could enjoy the fireworks going down Jiangnan in June with my father. Fusu said with a smile.

Compared with the unbearable heat of Xianyang City, this seaside is simply a paradise 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, let’s enjoy it together on the beach. The night sky is just like a dream

"The transportation capacity of this waterway is indeed much greater than that of the land route. Ying

Zheng smiled and said:"With the development of maritime transportation, the counties and counties along the Grand Canal have accelerated their progress. By next year at most, the Grand Canal will be fully connected.""

"When the time comes, you and I, father and son, will go on a tour of Jiangnan along the Grand Canal!"

Fusu smiled slightly.

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

He can also start to consider the next step of the great voyage.

Yes. Well, these spices that are all over the mountains and plains of the South Sea should be a good introduction.

You know, these spices are still luxury goods not only in Da Qin, but also in surrounding countries and even in places such as Rome.

The profits therein are enough for Da Qin’s maritime merchants to It's crazy.

Moreover, it can also give a fatal blow to the economic foundation on which the Maurya Dynasty depends for its survival, and speed up the pace of conquering the Maurya Dynasty.......

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

"Your Majesty, good news from Nanhai County!"

Zhang Han said with excitement on his face.

"Nanhai County?"

A look 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. It has been successfully planted for two seasons and has achieved bumper harvests!"

"This time, a total of more than 100,000 acres of auspicious potatoes were planted, with an average yield of eighty-three shi per acre!"

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

Zhang Han handed over the detailed report with great joy.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

All the officials looked at each other in disbelief.

How long has it been since then that Nanhai County actually planted two crops of potatoes?

The final harvest. , actually exceeds tens of millions of stones?

If true, wouldn't it mean that Da Qin has prospered?

Even with the great development of commerce, Da Qin is still based on agriculture in essence.

After all, filling the stomach is the first and most basic priority of the people. Therefore , when they learned about the potato yield, Ying Zheng and the court officials were overjoyed and even a little bit embarrassed. However, they all thought that although this auspicious sign was good, it would take at least until the end of the year to promote it. Even next year.

But I didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise now.

This season, tens of millions of stones of food can be harvested, enough to meet the needs of half of the people of Qin. What if it is transplanted to Guanzhong and planted for another season?

Ying Zheng and others People could no longer believe the terrible food figures.

Feng Quji and others almost thought they had heard wrong.

Just before, they were still worried that Fusu's commercial development would have a great impact on Daqin.

But will there be an embarrassing situation where all the farmers go to work or invest in business, leading to an embarrassing situation where no one is farming?

But now, Fusu only used just over 100,000 acres of land to plant almost half a year of tax revenue before the Qin Dynasty , one-fifth of the total output of grain.

Why are you worried about the lack of food?

Fusu smiled faintly.

Food is the foundation of the country. How could he forget this as the crown prince of Da Qin?

So he put Da Qin’s We took advantage of all the favorable conditions. At the end of last year, we transplanted potatoes to Nanhai County and took advantage of the hot climate in the south to plant an extra winter potato.

Now we are seeing miraculous results.

Sweet potatoes and super rice are also being planted..

There will be a bigger surprise after the autumn harvest.

"Haha, I, Da Qin, no longer have to worry about food!"

"If I’m going to have a headache in the future, I’m afraid there’s too much food and I won’t be able to finish it, haha!"

Neishi Tengzhuangru danced wildly and said.

All the officials looked at each other with understanding.

They all knew very well what the governor of Su Neishi was like in the past, worrying about food.

Now he has finally managed to get through it.

In Canada With the skyrocketing business taxes, increasingly abundant bank deposits, and the steady flow of gold, silver, and copper from Fusang Island and other places, Daqin really no longer has to worry about money and food. The group of people couldn't help but turn their eyes to Fusang Island. Su.

They all knew that it was this Crown Prince who changed everything.

"Thanks to you, Fusu!"

Ying Zheng also had a look of relief on his face.

"Father, son and ministers aside, now the time has come to reduce taxes. We might as well reduce the land tax of the people of Qin to 10%!"

"Within ten years, all agricultural taxes will be phased out!"

Fusu cupped his hands and said,

"this?"

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but hesitate.

Fusu's suggestion was really too shocking.

"Father, the commercial tax in our Da Qin is now more than ten times the agricultural tax, and the ratio is still increasing. The abolition of the agricultural tax will not have as much influence on Da Qin as imagined!"

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

"On the contrary, we have to worry about the fact that after the grain harvest is high, because the price of grain will hurt farmers, we need to set up a protective price to protect the price, and purchase a large amount of surplus grain from the hands of the people to fill the grain depot."

"In this way, it not only ensured that the court would have food in its hands without panic, but also allowed the people to get real benefits."

"Anyway, if the people have extra money, they will deposit it into banks or spend it as business taxes and return it to the state treasury. The court will definitely not lose money. Fusu explained patiently.

Ying Zheng and the officials suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Accurate!"

After a long time, Ying Zheng let out a sigh of relief and looked at Fusu with a look of pride on his face.

Da Qin is really lucky to have Fusu.

And his father will also follow suit. He benefited a lot from Fusu's various benevolent policies.

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