"Your Majesty, if the whole country implements land reform, I will be more busy in the future, but I will feel at ease!"

...........

Although Zheng State did not say it clearly, this sentence shocked Ying Zheng and others. The atmosphere in the study became fierce, almost visible to the naked eye.

Obviously, in the Qin Empire, food is a major issue that affects national peace and stability all year round.

In this era, the main grain crops of the Great Qin Empire were: millet, millet, wheat, millet, rice, beans and soybeans.

The local grain crops in Daqin are mainly millet and wheat, because millet does not require too much irrigation and are suitable for dry land north of the Qinling Mountains. If there are certain irrigation conditions, the yield of millet and wheat will be greatly increased. However, the Daqin did not complete the Zheng State Canal until the end of the Warring States Period, and Guanzhong became a natural granary.

Although the rice yield is the highest, it is only suitable for areas with abundant precipitation south of the Qinling Mountains, such as Bashu, Hanzhong and Chu.

The more abundant the precipitation, crops such as rice can be planted with higher yield per mu, so that the yield per mu can be greatly increased.

However, the land of Daqin is located in the northwest, with less rainfall than that of the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and there is no good irrigation conditions, and most of them are dry land.

Moreover, if this kind of land is cultivated for a long time, it will cause severe soil erosion and the nutrients in the soil will decrease year by year, which will eventually lead to a decrease in yield per mu and become a poor field with extremely low yields.

This problem of land degradation must be solved through rotation.

Ying Zheng remembered it very clearly that when he was given a field, the upper field area was 100 mu, the middle field area was 200 mu, and the lower field area was 300 mu. There was no need to rotate the land, and the middle field had to be planted for one year and two years had to be planted for two years.

It is precisely for various reasons that the Qin Empire did not produce much grain, so it could only barely maintain a balance. Once a famine occurs, the food in the south cannot be transported, and this delicate balance will be completely broken.

At this moment, although Zheng State did not give a clear number, it really made Ying Zheng feel excited. In a country like the Great Qin Empire that relies on agriculture, it was purely based on the heavens to make a living.

The risk is too great.

After all, Ying Zheng’s short-term plan requires a lot of food, whether it is foreign military use or projects within the Qin Empire will be launched one by one.

In the third year of Chengping in the Qin Dynasty, it fattened up the aristocratic families, but it caused a part of the court's foundation to be deficient.

"Your Majesty, I have estimated that it once during the land reform in Guanzhong. If it is a bumper year, it will naturally be more than twice as high.

But farming is all about God’s words. Even the hardest-working farmers cannot withstand a heavy rain or a drought in the sky.

In any case, land reform will only bring vitality to the Qin Empire. Once the food is sufficient and the lives of the Chinese people are rich, the population of our Qin Empire will increase."

...

In just a few words, Zheng State drew a huge blueprint for Ying Zheng, which calmed his mind and had long become a peaceful state of mind. Ying Zheng's emotions fluctuated.

The king and his subjects knew each other too much and knew clearly what the other party wanted. Therefore, at this moment, Zheng State directly applied to his preferences and raised the aspect that Ying Zheng cared most.

After all, whether it is the true sense of the Qin Empire to enter a prosperous era or to use military force to the outside world, it requires young and strong people and military sources.

All of this requires a huge population as its foundation. Although the population of the Great Qin Empire is huge, it is not enough to support a great empire.

"The data on the population, land, poverty and wealth of counties calculated this time are included in the imperial palace.

As a bottom line, it is also a doubt to verify future governance!"

Ying Zheng was very serious at this moment, and no one knew better than him that the importance of these data, especially for the governance of the Qin Empire for at least fifty years.

At this moment, a thought flew over my head, but after that, it could not be captured, as if it had never appeared before.

Moreover, fifty years later, the Qin court will gradually prepare for the next land liquidation, which is like a cycle of reincarnation.

Although Ying Zheng stipulated that land was contracted to the people for a hundred years, everyone knew that a hundred years was too long and was just a temporary measure.

At that time, if the time was too short, it would be difficult to calm down the public's opinion. The Qin Empire was an empire dominated by agriculture. The people of the country valued land without personally experiencing it and could not imagine it.

However, Ying Zheng once thought more than once that fifty years may be a limit. Fifty years, in this era, there are basically only two generations.

"promise."

He nodded and agreed, Li Si: "I will sort it out with the Secret Master Zhisu and then send it to the imperial palace to avoid any mistakes and omissions."

"I still believe this matter, right prime minister and Zhisu Neishi, who are responsible for this matter, but this matter is related to the future national policy of the Qin Empire, so we should be cautious."

Ying Zheng took a sip of tea and said in a serious tone: "Don't be too anxious about this matter. The two dear friends will rest for a few days before tidying up."

"I am grateful to Your Majesty!"

I haven't returned to Xianyang for a long time, and even if I go back to Xianyang, I just have to wait for a short night and then leave in a hurry, so I naturally need to rest for a while.

...........

"Three dear ministers, the land reform in Guanzhong has ended now. Now the land outside the Guan, the counties in Shandong, and fertile land of 300,000 miles. Where do you think the land reform will start?"

Ying Zheng was a little solemn in his heart at this moment. He knew that the most difficult time for implementing land reform was coming. He needed everyone to brainstorm and formulate countless strategies to minimize risks.

The Qin Empire can kill people, but rebellion cannot break out.

Because of the murder, more than 70,000 people died at most. Within one day, the Qin Ruis suppressed him, and he was as stable as Mount Tai.

However, once a rebellion occurs in the old place of the six countries, it will surely sweep thousands of miles. The survivors of the six countries in Shandong will not sit idly by. Once the situation is corrupt, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

It is precisely because of this that Ying Zheng is so cautious.

It was not that he didn't know that Guanzhong was the foundation of the old Qin people, but at this time some of the old Qin people in Guanzhong were actually very bad. They had to go through a baptism of iron and blood. Only in this way can they be reborn.

If you want to be reborn from the ashes, you naturally need to pay a heavy price.

In this world, there is never anything that can be accomplished without paying a price, even if it is the emperor of the ages.
