Chapter 881 Emphasis on Agriculture

In fact, when Lan Ruozhu heard this, her heart was agitated.

He wanted to do something for the state of Chu and for the people.

When he first became the emperor, he reviewed the memorials overnight and looked at the situation in various parts of the Chu country, which gave him a headache.

Because the situation in Chu State was more serious than he thought.

Only the generation from Dingzhou to Bianzhou was better. In other places, the people who had been manipulated by the princes of various states were killed and injured countless times, and they could not eat enough.

So he immediately ordered tax reductions and exemptions, encouraged farming, encouraged land reclamation, and distributed seeds to everyone.

Fertility is also encouraged.

If there are too many children, the county government will allocate more land and seeds to them when making statistics.

In this way, the population of Chu State will increase.

In ancient times, there were still very few people in the land.

If there are too many people, the whole country of Chu will be lively, and people will cultivate the wasteland.

Lan Ruozhu believed that as long as he worked hard, Chu State would definitely become a prosperous country.

Lan Ruozhu said, "Sister, what you said is a good way to run a school. Everyone has knowledge and knowledge, and they have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

"Furthermore, when everyone learns their abilities, they can live a good life and have the ability to eat enough and wear warm clothes."

"Maybe there will be something researched, just like my sister's cement, that's really good stuff."

Speaking of cement, Lan Ruozhu was also amazed.

The advent of cement really solved a lot of problems.

The city walls are reinforced with cement, and the city walls are even stronger.

And all the roads in Dingzhou Fucheng were built with cement, and now the roads are spacious and beautiful.

Rain or snow, the ground will not be muddy.

After the road was built with cement, the common people were curious and ran all the way to the street to see the cement road.

There was a new and curious look on everyone's face.

Su Binglan smiled and said, "Yes, the more knowledge you learn and the more you understand, the more talents will emerge from all walks of life."

"Brother, I suggest opening an agricultural research department to recruit some agricultural talents and specialize in agricultural farming."

"These agricultural talents can also be divided into small teams. Every year during spring ploughing, they go to various places to guide the people and teach the people how to grow crops in order to be efficient and high-yield."

In this era, there is no import, and the food grown by each country is self-sufficient.

If you want to get food from other countries, you have to be controlled by others.

It may also expose the shortage of food within the country, which could easily lead to war.

So every country on this continent attaches great importance to farming.

Just attach importance to farming, and the court did not take effective measures.

For example, how to encourage farming, how to let ordinary people open up wasteland to cultivate fields, and how to improve crops.

Everyone grows food the old-fashioned way, without any improvements.

But now the land around Dingzhou Fucheng and the land around Teng County are being cultivated by the villagers according to the early methods.

These were also taught by Su Binglan.

She arranged for someone to teach everyone how to farm and fertilize.

She also distributes high-yield seeds to everyone.

Most importantly, Lan Ruozhu set up a factory in Fucheng to make all the farming tools Su Binglan painted and distributed them to farmers, which greatly saved farmers' labor.

Everyone said those farm tools were good.

The people in the village place so much importance on cattle because they can cultivate the land and save labor.

Because if there are no cattle, the plow must be pulled by manpower, which is really hard work.

Sometimes, after working for a long time, the villagers may go home and lie down with back pain and unable to move.

But the farming tools Su Binglan painted really saved labor.

Even if the villagers do not have cattle, it is good to use such farming tools.

Lan Ruozhu pondered what his younger sister had just said, and he was thinking, just like this kind of agricultural tool, if the Ministry of Agriculture is established and such talents appear, it will be beneficial to the farming of the entire Chu country.

Not only farm tools, but even if someone can develop high-yield seeds, that is a great achievement.

It would be extremely useful if someone could even make the yield of crops on an acre of land higher.

Lan Ruozhu said earnestly, "Sister, just do as you said. I will create a new ministry in the imperial court called the Ministry of Agriculture."

Su Binglan said, "Brother, the Ministry of Agriculture doesn't have to be similar to the Ministry of Industry and Personnel. It can be set up separately, and it's only for you to take care of it. Agriculture is fundamental, or it must be in the hands of your brother."

"The officials of the imperial court always have some rules and systems among the officials, which are set up separately. The person in charge of the agricultural research department only needs to report the affairs of the agricultural department to your brother, and usually only concentrate on research, and they do not need to care about the affairs of the officialdom. , and do not need to participate.”

Su Binglan felt that people who specialize in research are actually not good at dealing with those relationships in officialdom.

It is better to let them just study agriculture well.

Lan Ruozhu nodded and said, "Indeed, we still need to cultivate more talents."

Lan Ruozhu found that he had a lot of things on his mind, and a lot of things to do, but there was really no agricultural talent on hand.

He felt that his sister was an all-rounder, but he didn't want to tire her.

Everything has to be arranged by my sister, what should I do if I'm tired.

He is just such a sister, like a baby, he actually privately hopes that his sister can be light

Enjoy the life of a princess with ease.

It's just that my younger sister is a talented person. Some things are brought up by my younger sister, and others don't understand it if you ask others to discuss it.

Then there is the little sister who can learn a lot from every idea and idea.

Many times Lan Ruozhu also likes to discuss things with her sister.

can benefit him a lot.

He also knew that there were rumors among the people that the younger sister was a fairy from heaven and earth who came to save the common people.

In fact, sometimes he also thinks that his sister may really be a fairy.

If it wasn't for the fairy, how could my sister know so much.

And every thing my sister does and every idea she puts forward is beneficial to the country and the people.

Lan Ruozhu could imagine that during the holidays, Chu State would definitely become the most prosperous country on this continent.

"Brother, brother?"

Su Binglan was talking to Lan Ruozhu just now, and found that her brother was a little distracted.

So she reached out and shook it in front of him.

Lan Ruozhu suddenly recovered, "Ah, sister, what did you just say?"
