Although he was quite panicked, Feng Tubol was not stupid enough to admit it directly.
He Wulang smiled innocently and did not comment on Feng Tubou's denial.
But when Feng Tubiao saw his smile, he no longer dared to look down upon him, because this fat man was not simple.
"In the early days, as soon as the eight-ox plow came out, there was a lot of commotion in Jincheng. Many families with fields wanted to use all their methods to get what they had."
He forgot to pick up the bowl and took another sip of hot water, then wiped his forehead.
On such a cold day, he was actually sweating a little.
"It's just that I don't know where the news came from, saying that this thing is only for the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and will not be considered for private use for the time being."
Of course Feng Yong knew about this. At that time, Wang Ping also offended many colleagues because of this. Finally, Feng Yong asked Wang Xun to give him a message, asking him to take leave to help him find Qiang people and avoid the limelight.
I just don’t know why this little fat guy suddenly mentioned this matter?
Feng Yong was thinking in his mind and glanced at He Wang, just in time to catch the admiring look he cast towards him.
"Later I heard that Hanzhong was to be colonized, and the Eight-Niu Plow was made for this reason. Those in the court who wanted to reward the land in Hanzhong could give priority to redeeming the Eight-Niu Plow from the Shaofu. As soon as these two news came out, a lot of people were anxious.
A big family in Shu."
"Later, some people who were concerned about the country and the people wrote to Your Majesty again and again, saying that the people also need these eight oxen plows, and admonishing Your Majesty not to forget the people of the world. Later, Your Majesty consulted the Prime Minister."
"This statement is correct. There are still capable people in the court who can take care of the people."
Feng Yong nodded in agreement, his face showing the same admiration as He Wang.
But I let out a "poof" in my heart. Are you still worried about the country and the people? They are obviously hostile elements lurking in the court!
People who can use eight ox plows are called common people?
Hearing Feng Yong's words, He Forgot smiled, but there was no smile on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
He could only hear him continue: "The Prime Minister said that he was worried about missing Hanzhong for reclamation, so he did not sell it to the people at first. Later, His Majesty was worried about the people, and gave Hanzhong Ye the right to make the eight-ox plow exclusively for Hanzhong.
The eight-oxen plows produced in Jincheng are not allowed to be used in Hanzhong to avoid the worry of heavy consumption."
Very good, this move directly put an end to the idea of aristocratic families running from Jincheng to Hanzhong with their eight-ox plow to grab land.
Officially, it sounds good, but it is because they are worried about duplication of production.
But in fact, it was the condition proposed by Zhuge Laoyao that the aristocratic families could buy the Eight Ox Plow.
Some of the land that was easy to cultivate in Hanzhong was allocated to the heroes, and some was circled by the court itself for farming. The rest was basically scraps.
Either the fields that have been opened are scattered and not connected, or it is difficult to cultivate, or the grain yield is not high. It is okay for the Guizhou leaders to make a living, but how can a family who is used to eating big fish and meat take a fancy to it?
So do you want to get the rights to Ba Niu Li in an open and honest manner, or do you want to get the wasteland that Hanzhong despises?
This is simply something that doesn't need to be considered.
Besides, there is only one road from Jincheng to Hanzhong, and there are so many city gates in the middle. With this regulation, even if you want to go against it, how can you get there?
Is it possible that he wants to imitate Deng Ai and sneak into Yinping?
"The imperial court then allowed the people to redeem the eight-ox plow from the Shaofu. For a time, families who could use the eight-ox plow came in large numbers. The grand occasion at that time was really rare..."
Having said this, He Wang looked at Feng Yong again, with admiration still in his eyes, "Even if the price of the Eight Niu Plow was mentioned again and again, it couldn't stop people from rushing to buy it. For a while, the stock was actually out...
"
Such a familiar scene, such a familiar routine!
When Feng Yong heard this, he was amazed!
There were two mobile phones back then. Didn’t they use this same routine?
One is selling a kidney and queuing up all night to grab it, the other is online hunger marketing...
"How much does a pair of eight-oxen plows cost?"
Feng Yong asked while sighing.
"At first it was five pieces, then it became eight pieces, and finally it was ten pieces. This is also a shortage of inventory."
Feng Tibi opened his mouth wide and his saliva almost flowed down.
As a party involved, he naturally knows the cost of the eight-niu plow, which is only about one plow.
Doubling profits can be called huge profits, but Zhuge Lao Yao is more than just doubling it? This is a minimum profit of 400% and a maximum profit of 900%!
With this wave, the imperial court will probably have a good year.
"I don't know who planned this, but the control over people's hearts is really wonderful and admirable!"
He Wang shook his head and sighed.
Who else besides Old Demon Zhuge?
Feng Yonggang was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly he remembered He Wang's look just now, and was stunned: You don't know how, are you talking about me?
Looking down at He Wang, I saw that he had a very understanding look on his face, as if he was saying, yes, I know it was you.
However, this matter has nothing to do with me! I just made the eight-niu plow...
Feng Yong wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know where to start.
Controlling people's hearts is simply an illusory thing that can be realized freely. How can you explain it clearly?
The main subject of this incident, Ba Niuli, was the one who caused it himself. It is quite natural for others to think that he did this incident.
"The He family is considered a big family, and they also grabbed a few pairs of eight-oxen plows. My younger brother's family just got a pair."
He Wang lowered his voice, leaned his head and said, "According to what I have tried, the eight-oxen plow is very labor-saving. In the past, it took a hundred people to plow the land, but now only a dozen people are enough. It is necessary to retain people.
For harvesting, thirty or so people are enough. But the remaining seventy people have nothing to do from now on."
"And the imperial court issued an edict when the Eight Oxen Plow came out, which was to supervise the families of slaves. If there are slaves who do not comply with the government order, the slaves must be re-registered..."
Damn it!
If it weren't for Little Fatty He sitting below, Feng Yong could hardly control the ancient power in his body, and he would have kicked over the table in front of him in excitement.
After hearing this, he completely understood what Zhuge Lao Yao had done by using the Eight Ox Plow after he left Jincheng.
Is Ba Niu Plow good?
Of course!
One plow can support a hundred farmers, and the cattle can only eat grass, unlike those two-legged animals that have to eat and waste food.
So with an artifact like the Eight Ox Plow, what kind of servants are needed for farming?
Feng Yong could almost completely imagine the thoughts in the minds of the powerful people in Shu.
To put it in terms of the political knowledge Feng Tubou learned, it means that the updating of production tools and the improvement of labor efficiency can liberate more labor from the land.
Of course Old Demon Zhuge doesn't understand this, but he understands that the more aristocratic families release more hidden people, the more beneficial it will be to the big man.
