After Zhang Chunhua had his last meal at Lanchi Palace, he returned the talisman seal, resigned from his position as Zhan Shi of Da Changqiu, and left the palace. Even if he still raised his own bees in Shanglinyuan, there would be much fewer people when he came here.

"Ah, Chunhua has left." Si Niang had enough food and drink, lay on the windowsill and watched Zhang Chunhua leave, saying with a sigh.

"After all, it's inevitable that we should calculate the income from growing peanuts ourselves." Liu Tong spoke with a little remembrance tone, but then he cheered up. It's not that he couldn't see it. Besides, it's more important to make living expenses.

"Abstract, one acre of peanuts can make 300 million yuan. Of course, this is to remove the consumption of hiring people and other aspects." Liu Tong said excitedly, "We have cultivated a total of 210,000 acres, and we can make about 60 million yuan. This is really a good business."

"Wait, this is wrong, why can I only earn 300 cents per acre?" Si Niang was stunned. There is a big problem here. I can also earn four stones in planting wheat. Once the official price is 150 cents, I will earn 600 cents per acre of land. Why do I lose money if I plant peanuts?

"Because we hired people to farm." Liu Tong just looked lazy, but his mind was still very good. They just gave the seeds and land, and left the others to the people to deal with. It was already very good to earn 300 cigars per acre of land.

"It feels a bit strange. It's better to grow food." Si Niang said with some displeasure, "It's obvious that one acre of farming can have a stable income of 600 cigars."

Chen Xi was a land grant. Not to mention the way the group of madmen abroad taught fields, the group was wild, and the land was given as many as 500 acres per person, and the worst was 50 acres per person. However, Chen Xi was a land granted according to households.

In fact, this is a means to force local families to separate families, to prevent local families from growing large households, to cut off land annexation, and to rent them by the state. Although this is not a complete step, the difficulty of selling land becomes greater. After granting land by household, if you want more land, the most correct way is to separate families after adulthood. This is Chen Xi's main means to curb the birth of large households.

Don’t look at the words of being a brother after the separation, but as long as the separation is separated, even if they are really a brother, they will inevitably go their own way in the end. This is not because of disunity, but because of more realistic human nature.

After all, there is a method called human nature to fight morality, which leads to human nature to fight capital. The core of Chen Xi’s teaching field is based on households. This way of playing will constantly force the population to break through five, that is, families with two or three offspring will quickly split up after the children become adults.

Because if they are not separated, the pressure on their grain output will lead them to find new ways out, working, doing business, etc. These are all means to slow down land annexation.

In addition, when Chen Xi divided the fields, the land was granted based on the village-level units after the merger of villages as the sum. There was definitely overflow in the early stage, but as time progressed, it would be impossible to continue to divide the households and not guarantee the so-called fifty acres of households as in the early years.

At this time, there are only two options: one is to form a new village-level unit, and the other is to join the army, or recruit veterans with their own land to become their villagers to alleviate their land pressure. In fact, these inconspicuous means are all means by Chen Xi to curb land annexation, improve the status of a military member, and force the population to develop towards industry and commerce.

But these methods have not been fully revealed at present. People are still enjoying high-yield grain production, with an output of 600 cubic meters per mu. Even if the land needs to fallow, the total amount is only half of the total a year. For a family of five with three children, which are standard parents and three children, there is actually a stable living output of 15,000 cubic meters.

This output is indeed a bit low, but Chen Xi adjusted the prices of items that are urgently needed to ensure that there is no problem with food and clothing. Moreover, the biggest advantage of the agricultural population is that the cost of eating is very low, so low that I don’t have to speak out at all.

So the people can still live very well at present. After a year, no matter what, they will have at least some extra money. However, when the next generation grows to youth, as long as the people with three children will find that they are a little underpaid.

At this time, Chen Xi's state-owned industry and commerce have entered an era of explosion. There is nothing to say about this, because the most core point of industry and commerce is that there must be enough wealthy people entering this industry before the development of these things can be promoted.

The simplest thing is the Song Dynasty. Because of land annexation, many people went bankrupt and finally entered industry and commerce. However, the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were unable to engage in foreign wars, and each development was better than the other. Therefore, a large number of people poured into industry and commerce, which led to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Xi is actually waiting for this time point. Of course, from the moment, there is still no effect in the short term. After all, most people still tend to guard the land and farm. Of course, one thing we have to admit is that after planting the fields, we start to sit at the door to drink our own sweet wine. The leisurely life of a day is more because there is no pressure at all and there is no work.

The core of Chen Xi's second five-year plan is to find some work locally for these people who have nothing to do after planting the fields, so that they can get used to subsidies for work, and then gradually bring in the family's children and grandchildren, and then make the industry and commerce of the Han Dynasty more perfect.

This is actually more equivalent to a change in the thinking mode, and the change in thinking is sometimes more unsolvable than the change in productivity. The latter may produce a huge change with a flash of inspiration, but most of the time, the change of thinking requires a generation.

Chen Xi could not have allowed people who have been farming to suddenly run to the commercial workshop to work in an instant. This is unrealistic. There is no reason. People who can live a good life will definitely not give up their own life circle and open up new circles.

The so-called breaking through the comfort zone is a chicken soup that is dispersed. As long as it is not an adventurer who likes to take risks, for most normal people, if they can live happily in the comfort zone, why do you have to scare yourself? Isn’t this a matter of nothing to find trouble?

In reality, there are not many people who are not under the pressure of life and are willing to suffer. The meaning of suffering is for future comfort or for future glory. If suffering is for future suffering is for future suffering, sorry, it is shaking, not a normal person.

Chen Xi almost knew these things. Even if he was not professionally studying them, Chen Xi knew that people could live a good life, so why should they strive?

If everyone's wishes can be easily realized, then society will not enter the ultimate development, but will instead fall into stagnation. From the overall perspective of society, if we want to move forward, the general public must have a goal of struggle, a goal that can be achieved and worthy of continuous struggle. Only in this way can there be positive output at the social level.

After all, without counting the various messy things brought by financial data, the social production is actually labor per unit of time. If everyone stops working or everyone loses motivation to struggle, then there is no need to say what comes later.

This is actually the difference between the so-called materialist historical view and the heroic historical view. From the overall social perspective, the former is reliable, but from the perspective of nodes, the individual of that person is very, very important, and more important than everyone before.

However, if Chen Xi doesn't say this, it is difficult for others to get a glimpse of the whole picture. These simple things are permeated throughout history. What is needed to push them out is not just wisdom, but a kind of vision. Unfortunately, this era is simply nonsense.

Of course, this has no meaning to Liu Tong. Liu Tong's attitude is just to make some money. Even Chen Xi himself did not expect that peanuts would be so profitable these days. Originally, Chen Xi thought that peanuts would not make much money if they were only planted.

Because the labor cost of this thing is much more than planting wheat, and Liu Tong needs to hire people, Chen Xi will not let the free labor he recruited to work by Liu Tong, so Liu Tong can only hire laborers to do these things by himself, and all of them require money.

However, what shocked Chen Xi was that this thing could earn 300 million yuan by filling the last acre of land like this, but it was not considered oil extraction.

For Liu Tong now, if oil is being squeezed, there will be no supporting facilities for upstream and downstream industries. It is purely like this. It is a bit exaggerating to say that it is a loss, but it really won’t make much money.

But even if you can't make the money from oil pressing, Liu Tong can sell raw materials and sell peanuts to restaurants or other classic foods, which can make 300 million yuan per acre of land.

Therefore, Liu Tong was in a very good mood after collecting peanuts. He quickly calculated how many imperial villages he had. It seemed that there were many of them in the thirteen states, and they would plant peanuts next year. This looked very profitable, even if the price of large-scale shipments would drop.

But Liu Tong thought that even if he earned 150 cents per acre of land, his royal farm would be hundreds of thousands of hectares and tens of millions of acres of land. As expected, my father was really not good back then. If I had this level, I would have to go to me!

Even if the management of the imperial village is too expensive, it can be very expensive. At worst, it can be spread a little more. One acre of land will be spread for fifty cents. If this continues, it will cost 1 billion a year. In an instant, Liu Tong's eyes shine. Chen Zichuan is really a great person. As expected, he still has to learn well from such people.
