Liu Che looked at the king of Lou who was kneeling in front of him.

The significance of him and his Loufu tribe, for Liu Che, they are similar to Shenzhen at the beginning of the **** reform in later generations.

It was the first stone to cross the river by feeling the stones.

To be honest, Liu Che is not too sure.

After all, such a thing is unprecedented.

Although there were later comers, when the latecomers played this set, the world at that time was already a world where machinery was popular.

Therefore, the success of the latecomers does not have much reference value.

At most, you can refer to one or two.

"Cotton...... Whaling ...... Salt...... Medical ......" Liu Che's heart, these words flashed one by one.

Today, in Shangjun and Daijun, these two Han families are the poorest and most difficult places.

The cotton planting industry is in full swing.

Last year, the royal family's imperial estates and official fields in these two counties were basically full of these imported magical plants.

The cumulative planting area has expanded to nearly 10,000 acres.

The cotton output reached nearly 700,000 catties.

Today, all of them have been recycled into the warehouse of Shaofu.

Liu Che's belly is very dark.

He announced to the people of the official fields who worked for him that one pound of cotton was worth four pounds of corn.

When you put it into account, it looks like Uncle Farmer has made a lot of money.

Because, the yield of corn per mu in Shangjun and Dai County has been a pit since ancient times.

The average yield of corn per mu in this area is only about one and a half stones.

Even, many places have only one stone.

The barren land and backward farming methods, coupled with the backward water conservancy facilities, made the last dynasty the Qin and Han dynasties. The world's famous 'poor county'.

The Han law specifically stipulates: If the land in the county is evil, it will be two stones. All three stones.

Hay, which is hay, is straw, and straw.

This illustrates. In the eyes of the ruler, even the grass doesn't grow much in this place!

In order to avoid forcing the peasants away, they had to compromise and announce that the proportion of taxes collected in the upper county would be reduced, so as to take care of the local economy and people's livelihood.

In the actual operation process, especially since the Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty, the Han family pursued a policy of lightly dispensing with light and meager endowments, and recuperated.

The Upper County was often exempt from many miscellaneous taxes, including the tax on the sage.

After Liu Che came to power. simply declared: The land of the county is evil, its people are hard, I am very merciful, its edict is exempted, and it is even more popular.

Anyway, there isn't much of a manuscript tax in that place.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Moreover, the Liu family has actually confiscated their tax for more than ten years.

Rather than keeping this name, it is better to use it to buy the hearts of the people.

As for the change of service and the passing of service, considering the hard livelihood of the local people, Liu Che in order to maintain the local people's livelihood economy. Encouraging fertility and development can only be exempted.

Otherwise, with the size of the local population and the situation of the land, Liu Che doubted. The local people, especially the lower classes, were sent to serve in the conscription. I am afraid that a family will soon be in a difficult or even desperate situation.

This will force them to huddle.

And then they form big families.

Rely on the protection and strength of your family to survive.

But. The big family is one of the social models that the Liu family hates and dislikes the most.

One husband and five people rule all fields. It's king.

Because of the big family, a family will be born, and the family will produce Haoqiang, and Haoqiang can eventually evolve into a gate valve.

In order to encourage the people to separate their families and become independent, they will have children and raise their offspring.

Liu Che could only choose to be exempted from the two types of forced labor that harmed the people the most.

In these two things, Liu Che behaved as he advertised, loving the people like a son.

However, to the cotton.

Liu Che's face immediately changed.

Exploitation, it can be said that there is no bottom line.

One pound of cotton is worth four pounds of corn.

This policy seems to have made a lot of money for the farmer's uncle.

To be reasonable, the Han system, one stone and four pounds, one pound and thirty pounds.

One stone is folded into one hundred and twenty catties.

The yield of corn per mu in the local area is only one and a half stones, that is, one hundred and sixty catties.

Now, Liu Che offers a pound of cotton to four pounds of corn.

In the two counties of the last generation, the average yield per mu was about 60 catties to 80 catties.

Even if they use the worst yield of sixty to calculate, they can get a return of three stones of corn, and if they are lucky, they can get a return of eight catties per mu, then they can get a return of four stones of corn.

Such a rate of return is already higher than the yield per mu of most northern counties, and even a place like Hedong can break hands.

But in reality, this is not the case.

First of all, they have to pay rent.

Now, the only people who can grow cotton are Liu Che's own Huangzhuang and Guantian.

The so-called Huangzhuang and Guantian were actually taken from the mouths of landlords and officials by various means by the old Liu family in the past few decades.

The land of criminal officials and lawless tycoons was confiscated and turned into the imperial village of the Liu family.

The Liu family then took these lands and rented them to landless, which was called fake land.

In history, Emperor Wu launched a lawsuit and collected countless fields, and the tax on fake fields even exceeded the income from field taxes!

Today, Liu's tax rate on fake fields is about 50%.

It is only in Shanglinyuan that the tax rate of fake land is extremely preferential 30%.

The reason is very clear, the land in Shanglinyuan is leased to the people, and the people will know that this is the grace of the Liu family. Moreover, right under the emperor's nose, there are eunuchs and cronies to supervise, and there will be no problems.

Locally, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the fake land is given to the people, and the tax rate is too favorable, so it is easy for the local tyrants to collude with officials to take these lands for themselves, and then become second-hand dealers and sublease them to farmers, so as to make profits from them.

In other words, in addition to paying taxes and serving as usual, these people who rented fake land also had to offset half of their income against the tax on rent.

Half of the income flew away at once.

The real income of the peasants is already very small.

So, in reality, the lives of the local farmers who grow cotton for Liu Che are still in a state of poverty.

It's just that it's slightly better than in the past.

Drink thin from eating bran. It has developed to the point where it can occasionally eat a few full meals.

However, this is still not an egg.

And. In fact, corn is much easier to serve than cotton.

Corn is planted. You can leave it alone, at most occasionally turning over the soil, watering and catching insects.

But cotton is different, it needs a lot of water to irrigate and it also needs more careful care.

With the same 100 acres of land, the whole family may have to work hard for several days when the corn is sown and harvested.

But cotton, on the other hand, must be carefully cared for and observed every day.

From the perspective of input ratio, cotton requires at least three times as much energy and sweat as corn.

But the actual income of the peasants. In fact, it's just the same as that.

Obviously, Liu Che has a typical capitalist attitude towards the cotton industry.

And it's the attitude of the sweatshop capitalists.

The purchase price he gave to farmers was, in essence, no different from Foxconn.

You will be given a basic salary of 1,500 yuan a month, and then 5,000 yuan at the end of the month. It seems that the salary is quite high.

But you're actually on the production line twelve hours a day, thirty days a month.

The reason why this is the case, Liu Che actually has no choice.

Cotton is destined to be an industrial product.

For now. Only a large enough profit can make the aristocracy and magnates pay attention to the cotton spinning industry.

If the price of cotton raw materials rises.

Is that still playing?

Wouldn't it be more profitable for them to do other things?

Ma Qian of Taishi Company said that if the profit is less than 20%. Not a promising business at all.

Of course, the profit of the cotton spinning industry is more than 20 percent.

At this point, it's actually a money-printing machine.

The value of woven cotton cloth is higher than that of silk. The creditworthiness is second only to gold.

has become the backbone of the gold standard system, even in the future. The potential to be credit collateral for banknotes.

Just as the later Mi Ti used oil to guarantee his dollar hegemony.

The truth is simple, nowadays. Cloth, copper coins and gold are the three forms of currency that are generally recognized and accepted by the people.

"That's why I'm like this......" Liu Che sighed in his heart.

If the Han dynasty wanted to develop industry, it was necessary to concentrate resources.

But obviously, Liu Che can't afford and dare not play with industrial and agricultural scissors.

If he dares to play like that, public opinion and the spitting stars of the world can spray him to death.

He, the Son of Heaven, will soon become a martyr.

There will be countless people shouting: Time will be lost and you will be dead!

And then send him, the emperor, to hell along with his industrial-agricultural scissors poor policy.

China is not a continent, and the Chinese people and Chinese scholars are not the serfs and aristocratic lords of Europe.

Even the most vicious Chinese rulers did not dare to play with the scissors of industry and agriculture.

At that time, Xia Ji claimed to be the sun and was the god of the scorching sun.

But the people would rather die with the sun!

Even the sun dares to extinguish.

What else did the Chinese people and scholars dare not kill?

Historically, the germ of capitalism in China has always been a bud.

Except for the interference and interruptions from the alien conquerors.

Part of the reason comes from this.

It is impossible for the Chinese scholars and ordinary people to tolerate cannibalistic monsters like capitalism.

Since ancient times, China's humanistic ideas and values will not allow such a thing as sheep eating people.

And the deep-rooted plot of the village party and the simple benevolence of the scholars themselves will put an end to such a situation.

You can fish in the country, you can bully men and women.

But no matter what, you have to look like a humble gentleman on the surface.

Capitalism and the bourgeoisie, on the other hand, want to tear it all up, break it all, crush it all.

The most thorough and blatant selfishness and the values of money and profit are laid out.

In other words, capitalism and the bourgeoisie want to make the little freshmen give up their illusions, let the pretenders have nothing to pretend, and let the people at the bottom fall into hell.

As a result, he offended both the literati and the scholars, the landlords, the nobles, and the common people.

It's amazing that it can successfully germinate.

But Liu Che knows that this monster, one day, will wear a tie, suit and leather shoes, look like a dog, be free at a time, and be universal at a time.

Although it trampled on countless corpses under its feet, tumbling in the abyss of the sea of blood with no end in sight.

Moreover, it is indeed the only way for human development.

It is also the road that mankind must pass to move towards a higher level of civilization.

As a traverser, Liu Che couldn't do it, watching his empire, nation and people indulge in the dream bubble of self-sufficiency for two thousand years.

The price is always paid.

It's not now, it's the future.

The **** in history, in order to develop industry, the price and blood paid are still vivid.

There is no way.

Liu Che could only try his best to find nutrients for this monster as much as possible without causing more damage and destruction.

To this end, he did not hesitate to start a world war, throwing the whole world into the flames, destroying and enslaving countless kingdoms and peoples, and irrigating this monster with corpses and blood.

For this reason, he should not be disciplined, lose his shame, and try his best to make black money and black resources.

To this end, he will build a whaling ship and turn the whales of the entire sea into corpses.

Liu Che himself conservatively estimated that if he wanted Chinese capitalism to sprout and grow, he would have to send at least 10 million human beings to the altar.

And I want it to grow to the stage of eating a little bit in the shortest possible time.

It is estimated that the entire nation of West and South Asia will be wiped out.

Even China itself could be hurt by it.

However......

"This is the price necessary for industrialization before the Common Era......," Liu Che thought to himself.

Even in later generations of Europe, in order to achieve industrialization, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of lives were sacrificed for hundreds of years.

The indigenous peoples of the Americas were almost wiped out, and all of Africa was destroyed and torn apart, even in their native land.

It is also the corpses and blood of hundreds of people.

It turns out that without sacrifice, there is no industrialization.

Liu Che can't help it, it's not something he can do if he wants to.

It's something that will inevitably happen and emerge in the future.

Either the Chinese go and send other people to the altar, or someone else sends the Chinese to the altar.

In that case, then why not send others to the altar?

The cotton spinning industry is currently the only one that Liu Che has found that can do the least harm to Zhuxia but help the industry the most.

It is the smelting industry, and it is not as good as the cotton spinning industry.

It can absorb a large number of people, create jobs, and create countless profits, so that countless people rush to it, and it can also drive the development of related technologies.

Starting from this year, the Andong Metropolitan Government will also vigorously promote cotton planting.

Within five years, Liu Che will develop a million-acre cotton planting industry throughout Andong.

And one of the main customers of the cotton cloth produced is the nomads of the steppe.

The whale meat from the whaling industry can be refined into oil, and the bones can be ground into powder, which can also be sold to the nomadic peoples of the steppes.

As for salt and medical care, it is an indispensable resource.

Through these four products, coupled with China's own huge volume and super digestion capacity.

In the future, as long as the nomadic tribes of the steppe conquer and then let them settle, they will complement China's agricultural civilization.

In the future, they will have to rely on China's agrarian civilization.

Otherwise, they will famine and they will die.

However, the premise of this is that the settler plan envisioned by Liu Che can be successfully realized. (To be continued.) )
