Chapter 2246 Food is still food
That’s right.
In fact, Daqian has always been a sparsely populated area these days.
Because their territory is too vast.
The main reason is the existence of monsters.
Monsters will automatically eliminate a certain amount of the population.
Land is not valuable.
Safe land, land that can stably produce food and support the population, is valuable.
So there is also a talk about housing prices here.
And the housing prices are far higher than where Wen Rensheng is located in Dongzhou and Daxia.
Because Beijing is the safest.
Let’s put it this way, 99% of Beijing residents do not have their own houses.
My ancestors have been renting houses since birth.
The wages, bounties, and unexpected fortunes all turned into rent in the end.
Want to buy a house?
Unless you have a practitioner in your family, you must be at the foundation building stage or above.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to keep it after you buy it.
Just like a poor man cannot protect his beautiful wife and daughter.
20 square meters can be saved during the foundation building period.
Golden elixir 100 square meters.
Yuanying can have a villa.
Huashen Neng has a building.
It is relatively free after returning to the void level.
This is because the Mahayana ancestors are stationed in the capital.
No one can break this rule.
All houses, fundamentally speaking, belong to the ancestors.
It’s just that the ancestors are too lazy to care, so the people below have the right to use it.
Front bone, chamber skin.
If the ancestor leaves one day, then the house will immediately become garbage and waste, and no one will take a second look.
But the ancestor has been there for countless thousands of years.
So house prices have always been very high.
Every year countless people want to move in.
Countless people had to withdraw.
Because practitioners will die of old age.
Without the cultivator in the family, if the family cannot earn enough spiritual stones, they will move away.
The so-called spiritual stone is actually a luck stone.
Those who are not capable will naturally be diverted to other places.
As for [Wang Weiguo], he relied on his Nascent Soul cultivation to open up a relatively safe place to live in a county near the capital.
His rent is not high, only 30%.
Relatively speaking, for other residential areas developed by Yuanying, the land rent near them is 60% or even 70%.
Because we rely on the ancestors of the Mahayana stage, the demons that come will not be too powerful.
That is, below Nascent Soul.
The ancestor will notice you if you transform into gods and demons. As long as you notice, you will die.
Just like people, people cannot tolerate mosquitoes, but they can tolerate bacteria crawling on their bodies.
Nascent Souls like Wang Weiguo and others are sterilizing Penicillium and the like, which can provide a safe place.
These places are safer, so land rents are higher.
Anyway, as long as there are still people renting land, it will not decrease.
It will only be reduced unless no one rents it.
In dangerous places, land rents are relatively low.
For example, the Golden Elixir, Foundation Establishment Stage, and even the places opened up by Qi Refining are as low as 10 to 20 percent.
Even the land opened up for Qi Refining was given away for free.
Every year, we go to big cities to recruit refugees who really can’t survive, and give them land, cattle, and seeds, and you can cultivate whatever you want.
Why is the land given away for free?
The free gift is to let you go to his place to reclaim wasteland, and then collect taxes from you after more than ten years.
All you have to do is pay the taxes.
sounds good.
The question is how many people can persist for more than ten years?
After a demon riot, the refining energy was gone, let alone a mortal.
It’s too dangerous there.
After you go, only 5 of the 10 people may be left in a few years.
Therefore, after solving the water source problem, [Wang Weiguo] needs to solve another major problem if he wants to change the Daqian problem.
That's a security issue.
One is water source and the other is safety. After these two problems are solved, the next step involves food distribution.
He now relies on himself to protect the people.
But how many can he protect?
The other Nascent Souls would not listen to him.
The other party will only collect food at the upper limit of what the people can tolerate.
Because the food received actually contains luck.
So, if we want to really solve the people's problems, we must let the people take control of their own security.
In other words, lower the safety threshold.
When it comes to security issues, [Wang Weiguo] thought about it for a while, but there was really no way.
Then he went to ask the ancestor of the Holy Land.
The ancestor of the Holy Land told him that if he wanted to be safe, there were actually two ways.
“One is to set up a formation. You circle all the people, all the people.”
“Use a formation to circle them.”
"For example, the capital is a big formation, and the eye of the formation is the Mahayana ancestor."
"And the luck of all the people in the capital will be collected by the formation."
"All the people The luck of survival and reproduction will be absorbed by the formation."
"Most of it is provided to the Mahayana ancestor, which is the reason why the ancestor is immobile."
"A small part is saved. , accumulated over many years, once danger comes, this luck will burst out from time to time, which can suppress natural and man-made disasters. ”
"It can be said that the power of these lucks is enough to suppress most disasters."
"With enough luck, even great demons and great monks have to stay away."
"Because of the words of the great monk , They are being watched by Heaven anytime and anywhere."
"If they forcefully fight against these fates, even Mahayana monks will be targeted by Heaven."
"And Mahayana monks will be targeted. To stay down there, you need to avoid being targeted by heaven, and you have to be a dog that is let go.”
What the Holy Land Ancestor said shocked [Wang Weiguo].
It seems that the ancestors and the Mahayana monks also have great conflicts.
"The second is that you are strong enough to protect the law with the law."
"You can use a bit of luck to form a very strong deterrent, which is much less expensive than the former. ”
“Just focus on the attacking spells. ”
"This can deter others. Of course, if you encounter those lunatics and monsters, you must be prepared to die together, so there are very few monks who do this."
"Although it is cost-effective, it is too dangerous."< br>
"Most people still focus on practicing defense, escape, and concealment spells, and only one or two are used to attack."
[Wang Weiguo] nodded.
The other party is right.
That's right.
It makes sense.
After thinking about it, [Wang Weiguo] felt that this formation must be reformed.
Strive to make the formation cheaper.
It would be great if luck could circulate.
Through borrowing and luck, the money that cannot be used up by big cities can be transferred to small cities.
In this way, dynamic security can be formed!
This is modern defense theory.
I have no way to completely defend the enemy from the outside.
But I keep my mobile force inside.
Only a small number of reconnaissance troops are placed on the border.
This way the enemy can break through. If he breaks through, I will mobilize mobile troops to destroy you.
So depth is very important.
Air defense is even more important.
Without air defense, you have no depth, and the opponent will hit the center in one go.
Your mobile unit is useless.
Thinking of this, [Wang Weiguo] had to be glad that he still knew some military knowledge.
We will not make the mistake of making a sneak attack with 150,000 cavalry on a small road and stationing 70,000 cavalry in towns. So he retreated to study.
A group of people were also gathered to study.
They finally came up with a channel formation.
It is able to absorb the luck of these people every day, and then automatically form a long-term channel that can circulate the luck in different city formations.
In this way, an advantage of concentrated force is achieved.
Once a demon appears, you can quickly mobilize your energy to suppress it.
In this way, the maximum land and maximum population limit of each city are actually the sum of the charm of several cities, not a single city.
[Wang Weiguo] After doing this, the Holy Land Ancestor was very happy.
Specially reward him with a scapegoat.
In times of crisis, it can replace death.
It can be seen that the ancestors of the Holy Land still hope that Daqian can change his past, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the practitioners can make progress.
I am not the same as those decadent practitioners who seek immortality.
It's just that the ancestor himself is also lazy, similar to someone who can talk big and is ideal enough, but he doesn't want to move or work.
He can be very upright, appreciate upright people, and praise kind people, but if you want him to do good deeds personally and work hard to save the people from fire and water, then forget it...
Ancestor Just the king of words.
[Wang Weiguo] has already seen this.
So he understood why the ancestors of the Mahayana period did not kill the ancestors of the Holy Land.
Because this person poses no threat and can maintain a little bit of the practitioner's vitality, which is a waste.
As a result, there will be no resistance or hope when facing demons from outside the world in the future.
This is also the difference between cultivators and ordinary feudal rulers.
The former is smart enough and sees far enough, even if he is bad, it is a high-level bad.
I will not commit the shocking shame of Jingkang.
That's a bunch of mentally retarded people.
The death of a cultivator is that he chooses to die after calculating everything clearly.
Ordinary feudal rulers are confused, lazy and cowardly, driven completely by the weaknesses of human nature and the shortcomings of the system.
I simply don’t understand what is truly beneficial to me.
Just like the Second Emperor Jingkang, who was deceived by his ministers, he took the initiative to negotiate in the enemy's camp, trusting his life and death on the sincerity of the enemy.
As a result, he was captured and used to destroy the city.
It is simply the most bizarre thing in ancient and modern times.
I really can’t tell where I stand.
After developing this formation channel, for a while, Daqian really showed signs of prosperity.
As long as no powerful monsters come, most of the cities and towns that have formed the Qi Yun Channel Alliance are safe.
As a result ground rents fell rapidly.
But it only took a while.
A few years later, those lands were quickly annexed, and the local cultivators and ordinary dignitaries once again united to impose excessive taxes on the land, until the common people only had food rations left...
It's so outrageous.
[Wang Weiguo] was almost furious.
"You will starve to death if you eat less, right?"
"You will starve to death if you eat less than 10%, right?"
After he was angry, he calmed down.
In fact, this is caused by rules.
The law of involution.
If you don't roll, someone else will roll. If someone rolls to the extreme, is stronger than you, and has a higher level of cultivation than you, you will be eliminated.
So those who understand this take the initiative to participate.
Those who don’t understand will be swept away.
[Wang Weiguo] can only continue to work.
After solving the water pumping problem, the people at least have more food rations.
After all, as the total number goes up, people have more room to move around.
If one acre of land is paid 90%, if the total output is five dan, it will definitely be much better than the total output of only one dan.
And people can also find ways to conceal production.
After all, the higher the total number, the easier it is to hide it.
The total number is low, and you can tell how much is produced at a glance.
Grain, beans, sweet potatoes, oil, salt were stored in various cellars, in the mountains, under the woods, and at the mouth of wells...
As a result, the landlords accused him of being cunning.
One by one, the land rent is very high to recruit people, and the rent is gradually reduced.
Just get stuck at the highest point.
So with the issues of pumping and safety solved, what remains is the issue of distribution.
It is also the most critical question.
[Wang Weiguo] knows that this is the real challenge.
Farmers are really suffering now.
Two great inventions he worked so hard on.
99% of the results obtained by adding electric water pumps to the Qiyun Channel were taken away by practitioners and powerful landlords.
If you want to distribute it to the people, you must challenge these people.
[Wang Weiguo] Looking through history, I only know that there is only one place where the head-on challenge was successful.
Other places are solved by roundabout ways of relying on money and business models.
What is done in a roundabout way?
Just let go completely.
If you want to annex, just annex.
The people are all ruined.
No more farming.
I went to the city to find work.
Landlords have no choice but to automatically evolve into mechanized large-scale farmers.
The prerequisite for this is that commerce is highly developed and handicrafts and industry are sufficiently developed.
There are enough light industrial products to be able to exchange enough grain and other agricultural production raw materials from landlords.
It can make landowners willing to exchange grain.
So in modern society, there are countless products, which is why it is stable.
The most extreme, a landlord in the world.
He has all the food.
To get food out of him, what do you have to produce?
Cloth clothes, medicines, high-end food, entertainment and luxury goods, accommodation, decoration...
All kinds of things.
The more things, the better.
In this case, the other party will definitely be willing to exchange food for these enjoyments.
What should I do if someone says that he just won’t exchange?
If there is no exchange, it depends on the strength of both parties.
In fact, any modern power has a method of forced acquisition.
Farmers are currently doing better under the rule of [Wang Weiguo].
Because many people have just been allocated their land.
I still have the deed of land allocation on hand.
But [Wang Weiguo] knows that these lands will be gone before long.
How can ordinary people compete for land with the powerful and cultivators?
The most critical distribution issue must be resolved.
Therefore [Wang Weiguo] still has to promote farmers to enter industrial society.
Do you want to merge?
We don’t plant any more.
But if you don’t plant it, you have to ensure a food supply to have the prerequisites for industrialization.
Without food, blind industrialization will only lead to great famine.
With enough food, no matter how blind industrialization is, it can support the bottom line and maintain minimum rations, and the people can stabilize and survive various economic crises.
Wang Weiguo knew how much trouble it would cause without food.
So he began to discuss with the senior people and Cheng Lan.
“I think it is better to ensure that we have enough food in our hands. In this case, we use our own land and unlimited energy to produce a large amount of food. Based on this, we will vigorously recruit farmers as workers. Start maintaining the minimum wage and provide food."
"Complete the new economic cycle," Cheng Lan said.
"Well, yes, I think so too." Fang Guang copied it directly.
"Me too."
So the three of them made a decision.
We began to collectively open up farming land again.
In fact, they already have quite a lot of land.
But for planning, it is not enough.
At least one-tenth of the total land is required.
