For those who can help him make money, Gu Feixue does not hesitate to invest resources.

Giving Chu Tianshu a pistol is just a small matter for Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As for asking Xie Ningzi to teach Chu Tianshu how to use a gun... that was something Xie Ningzi would do regardless of whether she said it or not.

So by mentioning it, she can take credit for herself. She said this very casually.

But this so-called "reward" is not what Chu Tianshu wants.

What Chu Tianshu wants is to understand reality.

So he additionally asked Gu Feixue about the agricultural situation in Dayun Dynasty.

This is a big topic.

It includes not only the price, output, planting cycle, number of employees, and the proportion of local output to domestic consumption of various agricultural products, but also the specific population distribution in Dayun Dynasty.

For Gu Feixue, these things are not particularly confidential.

So she casually promised to help Chu Tianshu understand this.

So the next day, July 3, Chu Tianshu welcomed several junior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture.

The political system of the Dayun Dynasty was to use parliament to govern state affairs.

At the top, the kings' councils, which control military affairs, are the exception among the councils. Generally speaking, the councils do not include the kings' councils.

In addition to the discussions among the kings, the so-called "all discussions" actually refer to the six discussions including policy, taxation, industry, agriculture, education, and law.

Among them, the highest status is strategy.

This discussion is dedicated to national affairs.

Under the policy, in the past hundred years or so, the one with the highest status should be Nong Yi.

However, now the ranking of agricultural proposals among other proposals is much lower.

——When the country failed to vigorously develop industry and was dumping foreign goods, agriculture was one of the two pillars of the Dayun Dynasty.

At that time, Dayun was a very ordinary country. It was said that it was a little stronger than other countries, but it was limited. To say that it was a suzerain country was actually just bragging.

During this time, the biggest problem Dayun faced was lack of money.

——The royal family has money, but the court has no money.

At that time, with over-reliance on agriculture, underdeveloped technology, and little money in the court, the country was ruled by landowners large and small.

During this period, the royal family was the largest warlord and landowner in the country.

The royal family is very powerful.

But the imperial court was not that good.

Sixty or seventy years ago, Dayun began to seek reform.

The direction of reform is to develop foreign trade.

Dayun has a vast territory and a long national border. At the same time, a large part of the national border is close to the sea. It is normal to develop maritime trade and fishery to obtain supplies and support the court and the country.

But there is a very important problem here - Dayun Dynasty does not have any excellent local products.

So for a long time, Yunchao's flagship product sold to the outside world was Hanying Suxue.

At the same time, due to the needs of ocean trade, the shipbuilding industry is booming.

At the same time, it is driven by the development of the materials industry and the weapons industry.

later.

That is to say, about twenty years ago, the late emperor was the prince of the supervisory state.

During that time, the late emperor met someone.

This man stated a fact to the late emperor.

The fact is that just selling Han Ying Suxue will not last long.

This was indeed the case later.

After selling Hanying Suxue for a period of time, Dayun switched from exporting to importing twenty years ago.

——Yunren was anti-dumped by the industrious and simple Zheluo Kingdom. Hanying Suxue.

The Zheluo Kingdom blocked its national destiny and planted Hanying Suxue on one-third of the land in the country. With the spirit of hard work and not treating its own people as human beings, it achieved success despite the lack of food in the country.

The extraction evolution and anti-dumping of Hanying Suxue.

Then the Zheluo Kingdom fell.

Yunchao people have never been very good at doing business.

However, the Yunren's weapons manufacturing industry was well-trained in maritime trade and dealing with pirates of all kinds.

Moreover, the Yun people had accumulated a lot of wealth through long-term foreign trade, and the royal family even increased military expenditures by as much as 40%.

Under such circumstances, the Yunren could not sell anything to the Zheluo people, but they could still beat them.

So under the plan of a young man named Qin Zheng and under the leadership of a young emperor, the people of Yun Dynasty began to fight against foreign countries.

Later, facts proved young Qin Zheng's advice.

That is, fighting a war really makes more money than simply selling goods.

Then, the Yunren continued to expand and optimize their own weapons in the process of fighting foreign countries.

Moreover, Yunren discovered that the countries defeated by Yun Dynasty were all eager for Yunren's weapons.

So another pillar industry was born.

Initially, this industry was monopolized by the royal family as a smuggling business.

Later, as the scale of the war increased, as well as domestic land annexation and population annexation intensified, this monopoly by the royal family and one surname became the monopoly of the imperial court.

In the war that lasted for more than ten years, everything changed.

"That's outrageous." Chu Tianshu felt very magical as he listened to the officials from the Ministry of Agriculture telling him about the history and traditions of the Yun Dynasty as if they were chatting.

“Then wouldn’t these laws become a piece of paper?”

"That can't be said like that." Jiang Nan'an said with a smile: "Since it is a law and since it has not been abolished, it will always be useful."

"Although people don't usually use it, if they really need it, they can still use it to talk about things."

"That makes sense." Chu Tianshu sighed: "On the one hand, it is said that the country is short of people, so it makes great efforts and spends a lot of money to import slaves from outside. On the other hand, there is actually no shortage of people in the country."

"What's happening in this world." Jiang Nan'an stroked his beard: "Brother Chu is still too young."

"This shortage of people is a shortage of people, and population overflow is a population overflow. They cannot be confused together."

"The laws of the dynasty... are naturally good. At least when this law was first established, the late emperor's intentions were good."

"It's just that during the implementation process, we ordinary people..." He said, he couldn't help but laugh: "Let's just say something that Brother Chu is interested in."

"We have introduced several new varieties of grain in the past two years, and the yields are extremely high."

"Are there any side effects of consuming it?"

"Then I don't know." Jiang Nan'an shook his head: "This new crop is the same as the new technology. It needs to be supplied to His Highness King Li in a limited amount. Whether it can be planted in the end and whether it can be eaten as food, that is Li.

This is something that the King and His Majesty need to consider."

"Until King Li reports it and His Majesty gives instructions, no matter how high-yield this stuff is, no one will be able to eat it."
