"What Dragon King, I don't know!" Qin Mo said: "There is a fish in Beiming, whose name is Kun, and the large pot of Kun cannot be stewed..."

"Which book does this come from?" Li Yuan asked, "Why haven't you heard of it?"

"Father, this little brat made it up. What kind of pot can I stew a 10,000 kilogram Kun!" Li Shilong said: "How do you know there are Kuns in Bohai?"

"It is normal for fishermen on the sea to go into the sea and encounter Kun, but the people are ignorant and just think that it is the Dragon King of the Sea."

Qin Mo said: "Father, for thousands of years, the people have digged food in the fields, but they do not know that the sea is a rich treasure. Using sea fish to supplement the food shortage inland can also develop maritime trade. There are many coastal countries, and taking the sea is not necessarily safer than taking the land, but it is definitely faster.

And maritime trade is more profitable.

We have to change our thinking when we work hard. Whether we open business roads or go to maritime trade, it is all about the pressure to liberate the people.

The territory we are working hard is quite large now. That's because there are few people, so when the weather is good for more than ten years, we will usher in a prosperous era.

But you can't resist the greed of those people. You should understand that they regard land as more important than life roots. We just need to guide this trend and then make land transactions one-size-fits-all.

You think, if one day the people find out that they don’t have to pay taxes or collect labor service, do you think they will still work for others?

They will inevitably put more labor in other positions, such as working in workshops and doing small business, which is much more profitable than digging food in the field!”

The male and middle-aged man of the big kids have 20 mu of land for each of the young kids, and the 80 mu of land is divided into each of the young kids.

After the farmers die, the land of the gutter must be returned to the country, and the land of Yongye will be permanently owned by the people. Yongye fields can be bought and sold freely.

To put it bluntly, if the family has several sons, these fields will make their family vomit.

Li Shilong was frightened by Qin Mo's boldness, "Where does the food from the court come from if you don't collect grain taxes?"

"Father, let me say that, now the land of a large worker is vast and the population is not large, only less than 20 million. With such a vast land, as long as you work hard, it will be easy to prosper for one or two hundred years.

But even after the development is final, the number of people will definitely skyrocket. There were more than 8 million households in the early years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the population is two or three times that of today.

In more than a hundred years, the number of people working hard will definitely be greater than that of the Dazhou, so the problem will arise again, land annexation."

This is not the first time Qin Mo talked about the land issue, but it is the first time Qin Mo said so in detail that even Li Shilong did not notice that Qin Mo actually started to attack the agricultural tax.

"You are right, it's true. So what can you do?" Li Shilong asked humbly.

"I said before that we will continue to fight wars, expand our territory, and assimilate our immigrant population, but if this continues, we will have a national life of three to five hundred years.

Moreover, if the territory is too large and cannot be controlled, it may not be a good thing, and it is easy to breed the emperor."

"So, you have to practice the straight road, right?"

“That’s one of the main reasons, and another is driving the economy.

Let me give you a chestnut. If we collect more than tens of millions of taels of commercial tax in a few years, will the father continue to reduce the agricultural tax?"

"That's natural. If you really need to have tens of millions of taels of tax, just ensure the food security of several major granaries."

"Yes, at that time, there is no need to let the people pay grain taxes. The court pays to buy grain, stabilize grain prices, and ensures that farmers benefit.

If it doesn't work, there will be thirty taxes and one forty taxes. The people pay the agricultural tax, and the surplus grain is enough for them to eat for a year or two. They will definitely sell the more grains. Then we will set up a grain bureau to ensure that the farmers' grains will not be collected by those grain merchants at low prices.

As long as the court has enough food, can the world go to chaos?”

"This method is indeed good!" Li Yuan said: "As Jing Yun said, if you are exempt from the agricultural tax, you, Li Shilong, are comparable to the ancient Holy Emperor. How powerful the country should be at that time.

Just thinking about it, I feel my blood boiling!"

Li Shilong's breathing was also rapid, "Tell me the truth, did you start planning to do this a long time ago?"

"Yes!" Qin Mo said: "My father came to ask me every now and then, and I was very annoyed. I simply made a ten-year plan to avoid being too brain-struggled!"

Listen, is this human word?

Just because I want to be lazy, I have thought of a ten-year plan?

"Boy, no wonder you asked me to make a five-year plan. You have already reached this day, right?" Li Shilong was angry and loving at the boy, and slapped Qin Mo in the head with a backhand, "Then why don't you write a memorial and ask me!"

"Well? Bullying my grandson-in-law?"

Li Yuan kicked it directly, "Isn't it true that I don't have a memory?"

Li Shilong touched his thighs, looked at Qin Mo with a proud look on his face, and gritted his teeth in anger.

"Hmph, Jingyun, don't be as knowledgeable as him. I'm going to be a living dog at an age!" Li Yuan patted Qin Mo's hand.

Qin Mo said with a grievance: "Old man, he is just unreasonable. What should I say about what happened?"

Hey, this brat is still wronged.

Li Shilong felt aggrieved, "Okay, I wronged you, so you can write a memorial, you can coordinate this matter and let them cooperate with you at that time.

Zhang Xishui Master is a good master. If you discuss the matter of going to sea, you can discuss with him and business affairs. Don’t delay it. After so many days of rest, it’s time to have enough rest!"

"Father, I have been fighting outside for more than three months, and I almost lost my mind. When I come back and rest for less than seven days, you will assign so many things to me to exploit me. The capitalists will call you the ancestors after hearing your words!"

Li Shilong also blushed, "The capable ones work harder. The court is working on people. Look at Chai Shao. At such an old age, you still have to work hard, so why should you, your son-in-law, help him?"

Qin Mo gave up struggling, let’s destroy it!

Seeing Qin Mo accepting his fate, Li Shilong felt very happy, "By the way, the Zan Ying you brought back last time, I rewarded him with an imperial physician order.

That cowpox is indeed magical. It can actually prevent smallpox from being affected by smallpox. It must be implemented nationwide. I want to completely exterminate smallpox!"

"Just one imperial physician order? Father, you are too stingy. At least you have to give me a title or something. I'll bring you such a big baby, so how are you treating him?"

Qin Mo said: "Does he look down on Lao Z? In my eyes, he can promote the cutting-edge talents of Daqian Medical Technology.

Who dares to say that he is not sick? I talked to him for a long time before he could devote his medical skills.

How many imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Department are willing to contribute their family-born medical skills?

If people weren’t for my sake, they wouldn’t have left Sichuan at all!”
