After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 160: Dare to give advice to the emperor

"So, you want everything you've seen these days?" Zhu Jiangjiang confirmed with Xu Gu again in disbelief.

Ever since they said they wanted to cooperate, she took Xu Gu to all the villages in Jiangnan Town.

What each village is responsible for planting, how long it takes to harvest, and what transportation conditions are needed, she told Xu Gu one by one, and he clapped the table to make decisions when he came back.

Buy it all!

"Can't you?" Xu Gu looked innocent.

"Okay! Why not!"

With such a big client, Zhu Jiangjiang will agree to everything, "As long as you give me money, I will do anything!"

She agreed very readily, but the Wu family father and son beside her were not very happy.

"Miss Zhu, I've given everything to Xiao Xizhou, so what about Dali Dynasty?" Wu Jinping slapped his thigh anxiously.

He has been in Xiaohuang Village for so long, why should Zhu Jiangjiang be on a first-come, first-served basis? He hasn't gotten those things yet, so why are they all given to Xiaoxizhou?

Although he also really wanted the iron mines in Xiaoxi Prefecture.

Seeing Wu Jinping's anxious face, Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't help chuckling, "Mr. Wu, the things are in Dali Dynasty. If you want to plant them directly, why do you need to grab these dried fruits from Xiaoxizhou?"

It takes about half a month to transport things from Jiangnan Town to Xiaoxizhou. Pineapple and watermelon are fine, but strawberries cannot be transported.

So for things like strawberries, she plans to build a factory in the village to make sauce and sell it in Xiaoxizhou.

Similarly, she sells dried shrimps and mushrooms.

As for the Dali Dynasty...

Zhu Jiangjiang's ambitions are not limited to these dry goods.

"Growing?" Wu Jinping didn't think about this question, "You mean these things can be grown in other places?"

"It's not just these, in fact the most important thing is food. We have to solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then it's not too late to solve these melons, fruits and snacks." Zhu Jiangjiang turned a corner again.

She can't tell everything all at once, or she won't have an advantage.

She can solve the problem of crops first for Dali Dynasty. As for melons, fruits, fish and shrimps, she wants them to become the characteristics of Jiangnan Town before launching them.

Besides, few of the melons and fruits planted this year can bear fruit.

The fruit trees beside the road will not bear fruit until next year, so it is useless for them to worry.

"I don't know what plan you have, Miss Zhu?" The Wu family father and son couldn't see through Zhu Jiangjiang.

Most of the time, they didn't know what she was thinking.

"It's very simple. Divide the experimental fields, implement the contract system, and reduce taxes. If possible, it would be good for the court to give some subsidies." Zhu Jiangjiang listed several ideas at once.

These are all policies that benefit the people after verification. The country in the previous life could reform, why not the Dali Dynasty?

But these are a bit bold for the ancient people of Wu family father and son.

"What? Reduce taxes? Need subsidies? Zhu girl, this is really a bit whimsical, the treasury is not real, how can the country be safe?" Wu Jinping expressed his thoughts.

For them, the stability of the Dali Dynasty can only be guaranteed if the national treasury is enriched.

That's why the common people have been taxed so heavily on food.

But they seem to have forgotten that a strong country and a rich people are indispensable.

Xu Gu also felt that Zhu Jiangjiang's idea was not feasible.

Although their Xiaoxi Prefecture was not suitable for farming and they ate grains exchanged from various countries, the iron mines were always in the hands of their royal family and no one could covet them.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for Anbang.

"Old Mr. Wu, don't get angry. I didn't say it too. To divide the experimental field, you can take a place to do the experiment first. If the effect is good, you can slowly promote it. I don't want you to do it. The son will be opened in the whole Dali dynasty."

I wish Jiangjiang to persuade patiently.

She is confident that she can take care of the farming affairs of the entire Dali Dynasty, but the court cannot rest assured.

That's why she proposed the idea of ​​dividing the experimental field.

"Then what is the implementation of the contract system?" Wu Jin began to be a little interested in Zhu Jiangjiang's ideas.

"It is to return the land to the farmers, let them cultivate as a family unit, and count as much as they plant, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm."

In fact, every yamen has a lot of open land that has been reclaimed, most of which were confiscated by those rich lords.

After the confiscation, the yamen neither planted nor gave farmers any planting, and remained vacant.

It's like the shrimp pond that Zhu Jiangjiang asked Zhou Liang to ask for before. If she had no relationship with Zhou Liang and had money in her hand, otherwise the land would be empty.

The yamen held those lands in their hands just to wait for rich people to buy them, so as to generate income for the yamen.

But in fact, by doing so, they damaged those lands and hindered the development of the local agricultural economy.

"Return the land to the farmers?"

Wu Jin looked at the land in Xiaohuang Village in front of him, and didn't quite understand, "Haven't these lands been planted for you?"

Zhu Jiangjiang heard the words, and secretly rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "Your Majesty, most of the land in Xiaohuang Village you see now was reclaimed by the villagers themselves. There are not many people in the village who have land deeds. household."

The land with a title deed comes from the yamen, and nothing else.

"Besides, even if you opened up wasteland by yourself, the yamen still took away every grain of rice when paying taxes." She complained again.

These regulations are too unreasonable, and farmers have no passion for farming.

If she hadn't planted those high-yield grain seeds for them, so that they would have more surplus grain at the end of the year, otherwise the villagers would have had to muddle through and would rather eat wild vegetables than work hard on the land.

"This……"

Zhu Jiangjiang's words left Wu Jin speechless.

What he saw in the DPRK has always been to focus on the "big picture" and give top priority to enriching the national treasury.

But I didn't expect that when enriching the national treasury, the interests of so many people need to be sacrificed.

"Miss Zhu, I can agree to the division of experimental fields and the implementation of the contract system that you said, but the tax and subsidies will be reduced. I still need to discuss it with the ministers." Wu Jin only took half a step back.

"Then when will the emperor go back to discuss with the ministers?" Zhu Jiangjiang asked expectantly.

In fact, he was willing to agree to the first two items, which was already beyond her expectations.

But since he is willing to consider the latter two, why doesn't she look forward to it, in case it happens?

Wu Jin couldn't answer this question for a while.

Discussing such important matters with ministers is usually brought up in the early court, but he is not in Lijing now, and he doesn't really want to leave.

As for when we can discuss it, he can't say.

"Jin'er, why don't you go back to Beijing earlier, as long as your father is here." Wu Jinping suggested.

He didn't want Wu Jin to find out where he was, but now that he had the opportunity to drive Wu Jin away, he wished he could.
