Wang Anshi sat up straighter, opened his mouth slightly and was about to refute Shen Long, Shen Long raised his hand to stop him without waiting for him to speak, and then asked rhetorically, "Jiefu also knows that the merger is flourishing now, otherwise he would not have proposed the Juntian Tax Exemption Law, so let's use the Juntian Tax Exemption Law as an example to talk about it, if there is not enough land in the world to plant, how should Jiefu respond?" ”

"Clear the land, clean up the hidden fields, divide the land into numbers according to fat and thin, and pay different taxes respectively......," Wang Anshi replied, this is also the strategy adopted in his Fangtian average tax law, this method is not his first initiative, during the Song Renzong period, Guo Zheng and Sun Lin had adopted a similar policy in Feixiang County, Wang Anshi just continued to carry forward their practice.

From the history books handed over to him by Shen Long, Wang Anshi learned that the Fang Tian Tax Law was greatly opposed by Sima Guang and others, and was finally abolished, so he stopped halfway through his speech, and this method has been proven to be ineffective, and Shen Long obviously knew that his answer would definitely not satisfy him, so Wang Anshi asked, "Is there any other way?" ”

"Look, I will say that Confucianism is only good at dividing cakes, but not making cakes, and this can be seen that even a great talent like Jiefu only limits his vision to the existing land." Shen Long shook his head and said, he closed the window again, and the previous map appeared on the curtain again, Shen Long pointed to the map and said, "There are many ways to solve the shortage of land, one of which is why not reclaim new land?" There is still a lot of land available for cultivation in the Great Song Dynasty, and the two lakes have not been fully developed, and a large amount of land can still be developed. ”

"Looking further south, the territory of Cochin is sunny, the land is fertile, and it can be harvested three times a year; This place was originally my homeland in the Central Plains, but it is a pity that the Great Song Dynasty canonized the king of Jiaozhi County when it opened the country, and then Li Gongyun created the Li Dynasty, resulting in the division of Jiaozhi County from the Central Plains, which is a pity! If the two lakes can be developed to turn the wasteland into cooked land, and then recover the homeland of Jiaozhi, it can ensure that the Great Song Dynasty does not have to worry about the lack of food for decades, this is the ability to make cakes. Shen Long said.

"Does Jiefu think that Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo are easy to deal with, or are the savages of Lianghu and Jiaozhi easy to deal with?" Coming out of Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo's mouths, I'm afraid it's more difficult than the latter, right?

"This ......" Wang Anshi was silent for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "Whether it is to open up the two lakes or recover Jiaozhi, it must be supported by the financial army, and now that the DPRK and China don't have this money, how should this be?" ”

"Let's not talk about this beforehand, but I'll talk about the second way to make cakes!" Shen Long continued, "The people's life is becoming more and more difficult, which can be analyzed from two aspects, one is the lack of land, and the other is the lack of output in the land, the former can be solved by opening up the two lakes and recovering Jiaozhi, while the latter can study how to increase grain production." ”

"If one acre of land can grow the grain of the previous two acres of land, isn't this equivalent to twice the land of the Great Song Dynasty? This is also a way to make bread, but you Confucians still don't do it, or occasionally people do it, but it doesn't attract your attention. Shen Long asked again, "Dare to ask Jiefu, what is the yield per mu of the Great Song Dynasty now?" ”

"Fan Xiwen once said in the book during the reign of Renzong, 'The minister knows Suzhou, and the tax collectors of the land are 34,000 hectares, and the benefits of Zhongni are 2 to 3 stones per mu', and the local output is also the same as seen in Jiangning; the land in Suzhou and Jiangning is far more fertile than in the north, and the yield per mu of the entire Great Song Dynasty is probably less than three stones." Wang Anshi thought for a while and replied.

After speaking, he couldn't help but retort, "My Great Song Dynasty in the Zhenzong period, once sent an envoy to Zhancheng to find Zhancheng rice, first in Fujian to try planting, and then take 30,000 seeds to spread to various places, and now Zhancheng rice has been widely cultivated in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"I remember that the True Sect himself brought it up, right? I haven't heard that civil official have written about this, and I have never heard of that person has been promoted because of this matter, which is enough to show that you Confucians still don't pay attention to these things; I think that if that official can introduce Champa rice and plant it successfully, such a great achievement cannot be overappreciated. Shen Long said with a smile.

Wang Anshi and his son were speechless, and Shen Long asked again, "Do Jiefu and Yuan Ze know how many catties of grain can be produced in one mu of land in the next generation?" ”

Without waiting for the two of them to answer, Shen Long directly showed the big killing weapon and put a picture of Yuan Dadruid in the experimental field of the harvest, "This land, the yield per mu is converted into two catties of the Great Song Dynasty, about two thousand catties!" ”

In the Song Dynasty, a catty was almost 600 grams, and Yuan Longping's world record per mu yield was more than 1,200 kilograms, and it was just 2,000 catties in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Two thousand catties per mu!" Wang Anshi and his son immediately got up from the chair and rushed to the wall, staring at the rice pictures on the wall.

"After looking at the rice, let's take a look at the wheat." Shen Long released a picture of the Silicon Valley Fertilizer Wheat Experimental Base in Guangfu Dongjie Village, Yongnian County, Hebei Province, setting a yield record, "The yield of wheat is lower than that of rice, but if it is planted well, it can reach more than 1,600 catties per acre." ”

This record is 974 kilograms, which is almost this number when converted into 600 grams of a catty, rice can only be cultivated in paddy fields in the south, but wheat can be cultivated in the north, and the meaning is different.

"This is 8,000 catties per mu!" The picture on the wall changed again, and the ground was full of white tuber rhizomes, piled up like a hill.

"What is this? There are also tens of thousands of catties per mu! Without waiting for Wang Anshi's father and son to exclaim, Shen Long changed the picture again, only to see that this time the hill on the ground had become composed of red tubular rhizomes, and this mountain was bigger than the one just now.

"Dao Chief, what kind of immortal seed is this?" Wang Anshi and his son were directly stimulated to the wood, and the yield per mu was 10,000 catties? If this is placed in the Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely be regarded as a great auspiciousness.

"The one just now is called a potato, and now the one I see is called a sweet potato, although the yield per mu of sweet potatoes is high, it is not as delicious as rice, and it is not as full as rice. Shen Long said indifferently, "I also have the seeds you want, and I have other high-yield seeds, but I'm afraid you can't grow such a high yield, and increasing the yield is not just a matter of seeds." ”

"I thank the people of the world for saying goodbye." Wang Anshi lifted his robe, knelt on the ground solemnly, and kowtowed to Shen Long, and Wang Yan hurriedly followed.

Shen Long bowed calmly, and then helped the two of them up, "This is what I said about making cakes, Jiefu thinks that according to Confucian knowledge, it is possible to do this?" ”
