Chapter 452 Grain storage strategy!
Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "I'm also a general who has been on the battlefield. I understand! Everyone, let's sit down and talk!"
...
Seven days later, Shen Lanxi submitted a grain storage charter to Emperor Renxiao. This charter was taken out during the morning court.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen's grain storage quota is simply ridiculous!" Wu Yanzhi was the first to stand up to object.
"Your Majesty, Shen Lanxi is exploiting and exploding the people of our Great Zhou. The people are the foundation of our Great Zhou. If they collapse, our Great Zhou will not invade the enemy tribes from all directions, and they will die from the inside!" The old teacher was full of pain.
Liu Mingxin didn't say a word, but his meaning was obviously the same as the old teacher and the left prime minister.
Emperor Renxiao frowned and thought about the feasibility Shen Lanxi said.
Encouraging the people to open up land is a good way. However, due to the wars in the past few years, the treasury was empty and the court increased its taxes. The civil servants were complaining occasionally. If such a burden was put on them again, he was worried that it would be counterproductive.
"I have to consider this matter more!"
Emperor Renxiao and most of the court officials had never been to the fields, and Shen Lanxi was not in a hurry to pursue the answer.
"Your Majesty, what about encouraging the aristocratic families to convert the garden into fields?"
Emperor Renxiao thought, "This matter requires a detailed description of a constitution. If it is true as you said, they will give me the food. Wouldn't it seem that my treasures are too cheap?"
Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "I have already responded. Your Majesty who has more than 2,000 kilograms of grain will write about a family of good fortune. Your Majesty who has more than 5,000 kilograms of grain will write about a family of good fortune. Your Majesty who has more than 10,000 kilograms of grain will be more generous and can allow one condition."
Everything else is easy to say, but the last one is Emperor Renxiao frowned.
"What if they commit a serious crime, let me forgive me?"
Shen Lanxi: "It is naturally impossible. The condition I mentioned must be in accordance with etiquette, law and ethics, and does not violate the court's laws and folk morality."
Emperor Renxiao's mouth twitched. If she really asked her to say this, wouldn't she have to ask for some trivial matters?
It is not impossible to negotiate if you promise a trivial matter of 10,000 kilograms of grain!
"This can be discussed."
Shen Lanxi: "As far as I know, there are many barren mountains and mass graves in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I want to use them!"
Emperor Renxiao twitched the corner of his mouth, are these two places where you can farm?
Shen Lanxi: "I have seen my grandmother grow corn in flower pots and rice in water tanks because she missed her hometown. The rise is very good!"
Emperor Renxiao smiled and said, "Your grandmother is a blessed person."
Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty, I think you can use every inch of the land of our Great Zhou according to local conditions. Our Great Zhou has a vast territory. Can we compete in farming and even a small country?"
Emperor Renxiao's desire to win and lose was aroused, but it was soon extinguished.
The Ministry of Revenue had previously submitted a memorial, and the wars were fought for years, and the strong labor among the people had withered, and many places were wiped out, so large areas of land were abandoned and no one was able to cultivate it.
Their Great Zhou Dynasty was not without land, but with insufficient population.
Shen Lanxi said, "Your Majesty, half of the Imperial Guards are vacant. You can send them to farm temporarily. When the population of our Great Zhou increases, we will draw them out."
Emperor Renxiao was stunned and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Before, he had always been worried that the officers and soldiers from Xihuazhou would be in trouble if they were not subject to discipline, but they lacked military strength and could only use it while being afraid.
Now thanks to Shen Lanxi's reminder, he finally has an open and upright reason to place these people.
"Okay, those barren mountains without a master will be counted below, and then you will be responsible for assigning the Imperial Guards!"
Emperor Renxiao seemed to have finally solved a big problem, and he felt much more relaxed.
In addition to the matter of Shen Lanxi's previous recommendation of encouraging the people to open up the land, he waved his hand and agreed. "This matter will be arranged by you!"
All the civil and military officials in the court knew that this was a hot potato. If one is not good, it would probably arouse public grievances.
So there is no opening blocking very consistently.
They were just waiting to see how Shen Lanxi cried when this ridiculous grain storage tuition failed!
The envoy of Yue Kingdom was not in a hurry to leave, but instead went to the Duke of Guarding every day to guard Shen Lanxi.
Shen Lanxi was busy here and had not stepped into the gate of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion for half a month. The envoy of Yue Kingdom still insisted on paying a visit every day, never stopping.
Everyone was talking privately that Shen Lanxi ruined the Great Zhou’s piety and despised other countries as envoys. She said that she was arrogant because of her favor, ignored etiquette and law, and ignored the lives and death of the people and the soldiers.
There are also different sounds mixed in these sounds.
"How can my great Zhou Dynasty bow to a small country? And this small country repeatedly threatens it with food. Wouldn't it crush my great Zhou Dynasty on its feet!"
"There is nothing wrong with the grain storage policy. I heard that the imperial court is responsible for issuing grain planting. The land it reclaims itself only needs to pay the grain in proportion. Just pay 20 kilograms of grain per acre of land, and reclaims more land, and there will be some reductions and exemptions!"
"Is there such a good thing?"
"My brother-in-law's brother-in-law brought tea and water to the adults at the Ministry of Revenue. He secretly heard that the land he reclaimed was reduced by half for more than five years, and for more than ten years, all taxes were exempted."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Really, there is such a good thing?"
"My wife's sister-in-law's sister-in-law's sister-in-law cleaned the courtyard in the Ministry of Revenue. I heard that the Ministry of Revenue had pulled out the small garden and planted food."
"Your news is too late. I also heard that the old lady in the Duke of Guarding the Kingdom was given the four words "Absorbing blessings" by His Majesty, praising the old lady for being a thrifty family and having a good wife."
"Oh, no wonder many officials have started digging gardens to fill ponds at home. It turns out that this is the reason."
...
Shen Congwen's nominal head of the Ministry of Revenue was not filled in by Emperor Renxiao.
Everyone in the Ministry of Revenue was thinking that when His Majesty wanted Shen Congwen to drag his broken leg to court, Shen Lanxi came to the Ministry of Revenue.
Although she had no intention of joining the Ministry of Revenue, she was doing things as the head of the Ministry of Revenue everywhere.
"Tian Chong, Yu Jiang, Xu Yuan, Zhang Han, you four are responsible for letting the people below count the unowned mountains in various places. You four are discussing two people to count the unowned mountains near the capital."
"Liu Yanhui, Dingmao, Sun Zhang, and Zhang Shuping, you four are responsible for counting the mass graves inside and outside the capital. If you have a master, you will be moved to the graves. If you have no master, you will only give you ten days."
"Ten days later, you go to various places to preside over the tranquil burial!"
Four people received the order.
Shen Lanxi: "After the mass grave is settled, arrange people to plant grain. The cultivation time is equivalent to a fighter jet, so you cannot delay it!"
"Yes!"
Shen Lanxi: "I will send troops to follow you. If someone makes trouble, the whole family will be exiled to a bitter and cold place to clear the land!"
"Yes!"
"What are the objections of the officials?"
All soldiers have been sent, who dares to leave?
Whoever causes trouble will go to open up land and farm? Shen Lanxi probably hopes that someone will cause trouble, so they won’t send her labor!
