Chapter 302 Reclaiming twenty acres of land
"Of course, the fields that everyone has in their hands cannot be given up. And they must not be neglected!"
Li Wen continued.
At the same time, he was also shocked.
After reading some books, he naturally knew the importance of land taxation to the country.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would be so generous this time!
"The fields in our hands are all deceived by fertile land, so we will naturally not give up easily."
After hearing this, everyone said.
Afterwards, they all looked at the Qi Master beside him.
"This matter is up to you and others. Whoever wants to reclaim wasteland and who can reclaim as much is your ability! If the emperor tells me, this matter must be true!"
Master Qi said directly with a certain look on his face.
"yes!"
After hearing this, everyone was full of excitement.
In this era, you can live with fields.
In the past, people only dared to guard the few acres of fertile land that were guarding because the tax on the land was too high, and they could only come out as long as they planted fertile land. However, when the tax on those low-level and poor fields was paid, there would be not much left in the remaining grain.
Now, since the emperor issued a notice that the newly reclaimed fields will not be taxed within five years, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes will be planted.
No one is unmoved by such a great thing.
Therefore, as soon as Qi Ye finished speaking, everyone ran home with excitement on their faces.
Then, everyone took a farm tool and ran out of the city.
After years of battle, there were many desolate fields outside the city.
At the same time, people were carrying various farm tools everywhere in Nanjing and running out of the city with excited expressions.
During the whole process, no one paid attention to the two and stood quietly under the notice.
The two yamen runners were already a little used to this.
Although such a thing is a bit of suppressing their face, this matter is easy.
Of course, there is part of the reason, because now, in any alley in Nanjing, there are literate scholars and people who work in the yamen. If you are not careful, you can get into people you can't afford to offend.
As for the major villages in Nanjing, there are also yamen runners to inform us.
Therefore, in just one morning.
Nanjing City and the surrounding major villages are empty.
Everyone went to reclaim wasteland.
...
"Your Majesty, great joy!"
In the palace, Yang Siyi ran into the palace with a happy face.
"What happy event has made Lord Yang so excited?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Siyi in surprise.
It has been a long time since he saw Yang Siyi's expression so excited.
"Report to the emperor, now everyone in the city is carrying farm tools, and they are starting to rush out of the city and start to reclaim wasteland. In addition, the surrounding villages are empty and are reclaiming wasteland!"
"Sure enough, the fields have been touching since ancient times!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slowly, but his eyes were filled with smiles.
...
"Little real person, our factory outside the city has completely stopped working!"
In the afternoon, Chu Nan stood in front of Zhu Zi'an with a sad face, reporting the report with apologetic expression.
"Why is this?"
Zhu Zi'an, who has been staying in the mansion, still doesn't know what happened outside.
"Report to Xiao Zhenren, starting from the morning, the Ministry of Revenue issued a notice, and all the workers threw down their work..."
Chu Nan told Zhu Zi'an in detail all the notices.
"In this way, I pried my own corner?"
After listening, Zhu Zi'an looked strange.
Basically, most of the things in the notice of the Ministry of Revenue were his own attention.
"Little real person?"
Chu Nan asked quickly with a nervous look on his face.
"I'm not in a way!"
Zhu Zi'an quickly looked up and said, "Since that's the case, the factory outside the city will be suspended for a few days. Also, inform the factory Master Yang and the shopkeeper Yang that if anyone wants to reclaim wasteland, they will go."
"Little real person, this matter?"
After hearing this, Chu Nan looked surprised, and he never expected Zhu Zian to be so cheerful.
"It's okay!"
Zhu Zian waved his hand indifferently and said, "So many people go to reclaim wasteland. Within two days, the wasteland outside the city will be reclaimed. At that time, they will naturally return automatically."
"Yes!" Chu Nan hurriedly bowed.
"In addition, let Master Yang know that today the factory mainly forged various agricultural tools." Zhu Zi'an continued.
"Yes!" Chu Nan's eyes lit up, and then he saw that Zhu Zian had no explanation.
He bowed slightly and retreated.
Then, in the factory in the city, the forging furnace was fully fired.
Piles of iron ore were thrown into it.
After coming out, after a while of forging, it became a series of cold farm tools.
Then, these farm tools were sold out as soon as they were sent to Zhenyi shop.
Seeing this, Master Yang, Chu Nan and others admired Zhu Zi'an even more.
...
Three days later.
In the imperial study room.
Yang Siyi walked in with a blush on his face.
"Your Majesty, in the past three days, a total of 200,000 acres of land have been reclaimed outside Nanjing City!"
"Two hundred thousand acres of land?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy.
“How fertile is the soil in those fields?”
"When I go back to the emperor, half of these 200,000 acres of land were desolate during the war years in the past few years. Therefore, the reclaimed ones this time were all top-notch fertile land. In addition, the remaining 100,000 acres of land were carefully cultivated by the people, and the fertility of those fields was not weak!"
Yang Siyi reported.
"That's great!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.
"Now, let Zi'an help cultivate sweet potato seedlings and potato seeds!"
"yes!"
Afterwards, Yang Siyi bowed slightly and said goodbye quickly.
After leaving the palace, he quickly walked towards Zhu's mansion.
...
"I've seen the little real person!"
In the Zhu Mansion, when Yang Siyi arrived, Zhu Zi'an had just returned from the sea trade caravan and was lying on the rocking chair with a lazy face, feeling comfortable all over.
"Mr. Yang?"
When Zhu Zian saw Yang Siyi, he was shocked and quickly sat up.
It was not that he focused on image, but that Yang Siyi's old face stood directly in front of him, and anyone was a little shocked.
"Presponsible disturbance, please don't blame me!"
Yang Siyi apologized and explained his purpose directly.
"Xiao Zhenren, this time I came here just to ask Xiao Zhenren to go to the Ministry of Revenue and let Xiao Zhenren teach us how to cultivate sweet potato seedlings! Of course, if the sweet potato seedling cultivation technology is Xiao Zhenren's secret, we can also arrange the indoor room directly for Xiao Zhenren so that Xiao Zhenren can cultivate it with peace of mind!"
Yang Siyi said quickly.
