On the other side, Tang Mo didn't notice the fluttering eyes of the King of Chu, and directly responded: "There are two ways to solve the food problem in the land, one is to change jobs, and after the people near the coast do not have enough arable land, they go out to sea to fish and become fishermen. The areas close to the mountains are turned into herders, raising six animals in large quantities, and only one type of animal is raised on each mountain, so as to achieve special use. ”

When Xiong Huai heard Tang Yu's words, his thoughts immediately retracted, and he bowed his head slightly to show understanding.

There are two benefits in the coastal area: the benefit of fish and salt, for example, the country of Qi, which is the home that relies on the profit of fish and salt, and now the country of Qi is still the richest country among the countries.

The waves are raging like this, and the tide comes every day, so there are naturally fewer places to make sea salt. However, there is still an inexhaustible supply of marine fish. This is not only about fishing, but also about various shellfish, shrimp, birds, turtles, etc., among them, the tortoiseshell of Yue is the jewelry sought after by various countries.

As for raising livestock in the mountains, it's even simpler.

Sure enough, it is relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relying on the sea to eat the sea.

At this time, Tang Yu saw the king of Chu nodding, so he further explained: "Great king, it is difficult for fishermen and herdsmen to migrate to other parts of Chu State, fishermen not only need to fish, but also need to find all kinds of food on the coast to ensure the needs of the family. Therefore, even if the fishermen are relocated to Dongting Pengze and let them continue to be fishermen, it may be difficult for them to adapt.

The herders in the mountains are often only skilled in raising one type of livestock, and have no other talents, and it is difficult for them to survive elsewhere. ”

Xiong Huai nodded and continued to ask, "What about the second way?" ”

"Increasing food production."

Xiong Huai's heart was shocked when he heard this, grain is the real wealth in these years, the people eat grain, the officials receive the money or grain, most of the transactions in the market are also grain, and even the currency is grain.

Therefore, increasing food production has always been the goal of all countries.

Now that he heard Yue Di's second method, Xiong Huai immediately showed a look of anticipation: "Xianqing, how does Yue increase grain production?" ”

Tang Wu heard the expectation of the king of Chu, and hurriedly responded: "Build ponds, renovate farm tools, select and breed good breeds, promote cattle farming, and intensive farming." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, his heart suddenly became interested.

Not to mention the pond, he just went to see it, it is a water conservancy irrigation project, and he is already preparing to build a canal in Yingdu. As for farm tools, the Yue people are famous for their swordsmanship, let alone building farm tools.

The technology of cattle farming is not new, it has been around for many years, but the speed of promotion is not fast. Even in the Qin State, which had established a system of farming warfare, equated farming with warfare, and officially promoted horse farming and cattle farming, cattle farming is not now widespread.

As for the state of Chu... It's too big...

And in terms of intensive farming... The land of Chu is too big.

On the other side, after Tang Mo swallowed his saliva, he continued: "These have been implemented as early as the Goujian period of the Yue Wang, when Fan Li and others entered Vietnam, not only the Yue Wang's cronies and important ministers gave advice, but also brought advanced technology from various countries to the Yue country, Wenzi taught the Yue people to farm, Fan Li taught the Yue people to raise livestock, and compiled the technology into a book, so that all the people can learn.

Nearly 200 years have passed, and the farming techniques of the land are no worse than those of other places. Moreover, thanks to the stone ponds and the investment of a large amount of manpower into the limited cultivated land, the yield of the rice fields where the ponds are located in Yuedi today is generally 8 to 10 stone per mu. The big pond in Fuzhong outside the city of Huiji is one of the best, the yield is extremely high, because of its richness, it is called Fuzhong. ”

Xiong Huai sighed when he heard this, and the yield per mu was ten stones, which was already the most fertile fertile land yield in various countries. However, intensive cultivation, a method of increasing yield, was not suitable for the Chu State.

It's not that this method is useless, but the people won't use it.

The state of Chu was large, and the people had enough land to cultivate, and with extensive farming, they could get a year's ration without much effort.

However, this is not the case with more people and less arable land, and if we do not try to increase production, there will be no food at all.

Then, Xiong Huai suddenly remembered that when he was very young, his parents planted less than two acres of land, and when it came to the summer double robbery, the whole family went into battle together, tired to death.

If it is a hundred acres of land, a family cultivates, if it is calculated according to a family of five, according to the future generations, this will definitely be tiring to death, and it is difficult to complete the cultivation task.

Therefore, the cultivation method is not only related to the means of production, but also related to the amount of land.

If you are in a place where there is a lot of produce, and you can pick up food when you go out, then you don't know what your job is.

This has nothing to do with diligence and laziness, nor does it have anything to do with human nature, it is just the destiny of heaven to raise a person for one side of the water and soil.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai suddenly didn't care so much about Yuedi's method of increasing yield.

At this time, Tang Mo paused for a moment, and then continued: "Great King, it is precisely because the cultivation and lifestyle of the people in Yue Di are completely different from those in other places, so the minister thinks that it is difficult to succeed in relocating the people.

If the people of Yue were forcibly moved, and then the people of other parts of Chu were moved, the minister was worried that both the Yue and Chu people would complain. ”

"The widow knows." Xiong Huai nodded, and then, Xiong Huai looked at Tang Yu again and asked, "A few days ago, Xianqing proposed to reward the Yue people with cultivating cattle, which is also related to the production methods of the Yue people. ”

Tang Mo nodded and said, "King Mingjian, that's exactly the case. Because the ploughing ox is an important production tool for the people in Yuedi, it is a great wealth, and when it comes to farming, the ploughing ox is used by the people, which will arouse the envy of the people. This is how I reward once, but I can always spur the people, guide them to goodness, and make them always grateful. ”

"Not bad." Xiong Huai nodded: "For the people, rewarding ploughing cattle is indeed incomparable to rewarding money, money is difficult to show, and money will always run out one day, the money will run out, and the affection and favor will be exhausted." Ploughing cattle are not, not only do they need to pull out the arable land, but they can also be used every year. Whenever the people use it, they can still remember the favor of the widow. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai pondered for a while, and then spoke: "It's not enough to just reward the ploughing ox, but also to reward the new plough tools, and the important thing is that the people will not use the ploughing ox to plough the land, and they have to send someone to teach them, so that the benevolence of the widow can be highlighted." ”

"The king is wise!"

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, and asked again: "Xianqing, regarding the matter of recommendation from all over the world, Xianqing has to hurry up, not only quickly, but also let the people recommended from all over the country be the people needed by the widow, so as to maximize the effect." ”

"Yui!"

"Also, since Xianqing talked about the herdsmen and fishermen, if these people are among the people elected by the counties, and the tools needed for their work are also prepared, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and the widow should let the people of Yue know that the blessing of the widow will benefit everyone."

"Yui!"
