Chapter 86 Preparation (for collection)
After knowing the general situation of the major forces in the east, Wang Jing did not rush to send troops, but continued to stay on the island in the middle of the lake.
Because it is time to harvest the next round of rice in the farmland.
This harvest yielded more grain and grass than last time.
As the people in Donghu County continue to reclaim the land, there will only be more and more grain in the farmland.
However, at this time Shen Yi discovered two more important problems.
"The first problem is that the people's enthusiasm for reclaiming wasteland is gradually fading. According to my estimates, if the method of farming is still followed by the army, only rations are left for the people, and all other food is taken away, the enthusiasm of the people will be greatly affected. suppression!"
The first time a problem is found.
Shen Yi, the county magistrate of Donghu County and the second person in charge of civil affairs under Wang Jing's command, quickly came to report.
"Huh? The enthusiasm of the people is gone so quickly?"
Wang Jing was a little surprised.
Except for the first group of people who left the begging army to follow him, the rest of the people were refugees rescued from the Murong clan.
As the saying goes, the grace of saving lives will be repaid by the spring.
Wang Jing didn't expect them to be loyal to him either, but it wasn't too much to help him plant the fields for a few months, right?
What's more, he also gave enough rations to the people under his rule every day, and he didn't starve them.
Shen Yi said: "It's not the later refugees, it's the first group of people who followed the lord! During this time, many men and women fell in love with each other, and they got married under the witness of Baochang Jiachang."
"After these people get married, they want to own their own house and land as the family heirloom... These are all human, and they are not dissatisfied with the lord, but their enthusiasm is not as strong as before!"
As the saying goes, full and warm thinking**.
People have other desires when they have something to eat.
After getting married, I thought about owning my own land and house, and thinking about having children to offer incense to me in the future.
It is normal for them to become less motivated when their wishes are not met.
This is human nature. In the source world, even a generation of great men cannot forcibly reverse it, and in the end they can only compromise.
The solution to this problem is very simple, as long as the current model of big pot rice is replaced by a small stove, and the land is distributed to the people, all problems will no longer be a problem.
"The enthusiasm has weakened... If the land is divided, this problem can be solved directly, but Mr. Shen, you know that the major forces in the east often have tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of troops."
"If we want to expand eastward and confront many forces, we must use every ounce of strength! It is easy to talk about dividing the land now, but after dividing the land, we must establish a system to collect taxes."
"Can the taxes collected from less than [-] people support our military expansion?"
Wang Jing was very clear-headed.
The people are a very easily satisfied group of people, as long as they are given food to eat, they can endure.
But the common people are a group of people who are not easily satisfied.
No matter how many benefits you give them, they may miss you for a while in their hearts, but once you treat them badly, they will complain in their hearts.
Since ancient times, people's hearts are like water, which is very difficult to figure out.
It is easy to divide the land, but how much tax will be collected after the land is divided?A small income is not enough to support military expansion and preparations for war, and a large income can easily hurt the hearts of the people.
When the fields are not divided, although the enthusiasm of the people for farming is weakened, as long as everyone is working, they will not say much.
But if the fields are divided, they will treat them as their own.The grain grown is naturally theirs, and if you want to harvest the grain, it is tantamount to drawing their blood.
Therefore, Wang Jing would rather maintain this state, and wait until the population is more than [-] and there are enough food and grass savings before considering the matter of dividing the land.
"My lord is thinking about it, I was negligent!"
Shen Yi thought for a while, and agreed with Wang Jing's point of view.
Food and grass is life in troubled times!With food and grass, city roads can be built with labor relief, and refugees can also be recruited to grow stronger.
The enthusiasm of the people under the current rule is a little weaker, but there are not many complaints.
When the people urgently want to divide the land, they can resolutely divide the land and win the hearts of the people.
"What about your second question?"
Wang Jing asked.
Shen Yi quickly came back to his senses and said, "I don't know if I'm too sensitive. I always feel that the rice growth rate this time is a bit slower than the previous few times. Well, it was about half a day slower. It's hard to find if you don't pay attention! "
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
Slow for a long time?
Wang Jing's expression changed slightly, and he asked quickly.
You must know that the plants and the fish and shrimps in the lake are blessed by the world consciousness, and their reproduction speed is five times that of the original world.
Slowing down by half a day means that the growth cycle is extended by one fortieth.This time is of course nothing, but it represents a very important trend.
That is the power of the world's blessing, and it is likely to be slowly declining.
Shen Yi said: "This is the situation I personally observed, there can be no falsehood! My lord, if the rice growth cycle is extended again, then the situation will be bad!"
He has no insight talent, but through the recent observation of this world, he also concluded that the reproduction speed of all things in the new world is five times that of the original world.
That's why he came to report to Wang Jing solemnly after he found out that the time for the rice in the farmland to mature was prolonged.
Make it a big deal.
"This time it will be extended for half a day, and next time it may be extended by one day... According to this speed, it won't be long before the five times the reproduction speed will return to normal!"
Wang Jing murmured.
Today, half of the hundreds of millions of people descended into the world of Shenzhou survived on the fish, shrimp and beasts that were born at five times the reproduction speed, and the rice and miscellaneous grains they planted.
The other half have become refugees under the various forces that are constantly at war, and are precarious.
In the future, when the reproduction rate returns to normal, those refugees who cannot eat enough to eat every day will inevitably be even more miserable. They may starve to death for thousands of miles.
"Mr. Shen, the time for rice to mature is getting longer now... Do you think we should continue to bury our heads in farming to save food and grass, or expand eastward according to the previous strategy?"
Wang Jing frowned at this time and asked.
Shen Yi said decisively: "Naturally, continue to expand eastward!"
He looked a little serious, and said solemnly: "I also know the importance of food and grass, but right now is a world of great contention. If we cannot grow rapidly, no matter how much food and grass we accumulate, we will only become food for others!"
"Cultivation and farming cannot be stopped, but external expansion must not be stopped either!"
Wang Jing immediately thought of Yuan Shu's more than 100 million Dingkou and the so-called [-] army in the north.
indeed.If you only focus on farming, and your own body is placed here, even if you continue to farm and accumulate hundreds of thousands of tons of grain and grass, so what?
Without strong soldiers and horses, too much food and grass will only arouse the greed of others.
Among other things, if Yuan Shu sent tens of thousands of troops, Wang Jing would be unable to resist with only three thousand troops.
Thank you Hongchen for my happy reward...
