After Ji An finished reading Yu Yi's data over the years, he was also shocked, and then looked at the file in his hand in horror.
"Even Yuyi is so prosperous today..." Ji An thought in his heart: "No wonder the people in Guanzhong all say: Emperor Yao and Shun!"
Even Liu Che was actually a little surprised.
He knew that Yuyi had developed well in the past six years, because the so-called Qishan Plain area composed of several surrounding counties including Yuyi was the base camp of the Mohist family.
In the local area, in the pavilions of counties and villages, there are many Moshes.
It can be said that it is the place where the grassroots organizations of the Han Dynasty have the strongest power and the strongest action.
However, Liu Che was really surprised that it was developing so well.
"I didn't expect that there are so many hard-working people in the Mo family..." Liu Che sighed in his heart: "Now, it seems that my worries back then were in vain!"
At first, Liu Che felt that the Mohist scholars were too idealistic and might not be able to achieve anything.
But in order to win over the Mohists to work for him, he abandoned Qishanyuan, the poorest and most remote area in Guanzhong, for the Mohists to mess around with. His original intention was to get the Mohists to retreat from the difficulties and honestly engage in their science, technology and research.
However, Liu Che at the time never imagined that the Mohists would actually be able to deliver such a perfect answer in just a few years!
If there is no water in the data, then in the past six years, the household registration in Yuyi County alone has increased by more than one-third!
The total number of households increased from 5,321 to nearly 7,000.
In six years, the number of households increased by a net of 1,600 households!
This is equivalent to more than 12% of the annual net increase in household registrations!
This is even more terrifying than the population growth rate of 12%, because it means more families, more tax sources, and more soldiers.
When it comes to land, it's even more terrible.
In the past six years, Yuyi's land has only increased by a few thousand acres in total.
However, the quality of the land has been greatly improved.
The number of upper fields has almost increased fivefold, from more than 7,000 acres in the past to nearly 30,000 acres now. The area of middle fields has also increased greatly, from more than 50,000 acres in the past to now
It is close to 70,000 acres. Naturally, the number of fields has been reduced by almost two-thirds, to only 20,000 acres.
The change in this data shows that Yuyi's local agricultural economy and development have laid a solid foundation.
In the future, this place will definitely become the granary of the Han family.
The annual output of millet and wheat is hundreds of thousands of stones.
Not only can it feed the people of Yuyi and the growing number of children in Yuyi, but it can also transfer thousands of stones of field tax to the treasury every year, and even sell tens of thousands of stones of grain to the Shaofu!
And if Liu Che remembers correctly, six years ago, Yu Yi's finances were unable to make ends meet every year.
The government does not even have the money to repair water conservancy projects, so it can only use old but overburdened water conservancy facilities.
The local land is very salinized, there are many mountains, and the grain output is getting less and less. So far, the total number of fields with a yield of more than two dan per mu is only more than 7,000 acres.
This little food is not enough to feed people!
Initially, more than 30% of the people in Liu Che's Sixian Garden were Yuyi people.
But now, in just six years, Yu Yi's appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes!
Not to mention the ministers, even Liu Che was extremely surprised.
You know, in fact today's Han Dynasty and many counties are unable to be self-sufficient in food.
Therefore, people in many places, especially the poor at the lower levels, are hungry and hungry.
Therefore, at this time, people all over the world do not have the habit of eating lunch.
Because they must save precious food to fill their families' bellies.
In order to fill their families' stomachs, many people choose to pick wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Malnutrition has always been the number one killer of Han Dynasty teenagers.
But now, the people of Yuyi have solved this problem by relying on themselves and the Mohist family!
what does that mean?
Liu Che knows it very well!
This means that the Yuyi model can be promoted and even become a model.
There are so many prefectures and counties in the world, not to mention that all of them can be self-sufficient like Yu Yi, and even have some spare power to feed the country.
Even if it is just reducing the number of poor people and increasing the number of middle class, it is a matter of immeasurable merit.
But for the time being, the Yuyi model, or even the entire local development model in Guanzhong, is not suitable for promotion in Guandong.
the reason is simple.
The great development of Yuyi and the entire Guanzhong was not only due to the power of Mohism or Legalism.
The more reason is the dividends brought by foreign wars.
In the Battle of Mayi alone, the Han army captured nearly two million livestock of various kinds.
Then, Liu Che loaned some of them to the people in Guanzhong.
Otherwise, the Mo family would be cheating and it would be impossible to achieve such results.
Liu Che took the economic data of Yu Yi from Ji An's hand and looked at the number of livestock in it.
Then, he raised his head, looked at the ministers, and said: "Six years ago, in the entire Yuyi County, there were only two horses, fifty mules, more than a hundred oxen, draft horses, and about forty donkeys.
…”
"Now, Yu Yi has fifteen horses, more than 120 mules, more than 500 cattle, and 300 draft horses and donkeys!" Liu Che said: "Today, the people are farming, and they have left the country.
No more animal power!"
This is certainly for sure.
In the past, before oxen and horse plowing became popular, a large number of people could only rely on manpower to pull plows, performing simple, inefficient and extremely consuming work.
If there is insufficient labor, it is easy to miss the farming season, resulting in a bad harvest, starvation for the whole family, and even a family facing desperation.
But now we have the help of livestock.
The people's farming methods and efficiency have been greatly improved.
In the past, it took several days or even more than ten days to plow the land. Now, with the help of plowing oxen, draft horses and curved shaft plows, it can be completed in only one or two or three days.
Moreover, compared with the shallow tillage and coarse cultivation in the past.
Today's technological progress has brought about black technologies that are deeply cultivated.
This directly increased the yield per mu of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, due to deep plowing, the salinization of the soil was also curbed.
More importantly, this will not delay the farming season, leading to crop failure and disease and insect pests.
The most fundamental reason for these changes was the victory of the Han army!
Liu Che glanced at the princes and asked: "Is this an act of militarism?"
The answer is of course no!
If this is all about militarism, then what were the seven generations of Qin kings after Duke Xiao?
The princes lowered their heads one after another and remained silent.
As for the hawks and Liu Che's sycophants, everyone held their heads high.
Even the soldiers outside the palace were excited to hear it.
Everyone is roaring in their hearts: Long live your Majesty!
Liu Che slowly uttered a famous saying: "This is not a militancy! This is using the Han's sword as the Han's plow to find the Han's livestock!"
As for the land?
It's out of the question for the time being.
In the entire grassland of Saibei, there are very few places suitable for farming.
In addition to the Hetao, it is an oasis in the Hexi Corridor and is suitable for farming.
However, the oases and fertile soil in the Hexi Corridor are sparsely distributed. If we want to cultivate them locally, given the current technical conditions, the gains outweigh the losses.
Emperor Wu’s initial investment in the Luntai farmland was so large that even Emperor Wu could only grit his teeth and persevere!
However, as long as the Hexi Corridor is opened and the Western Regions are entered, the Han family will have access to a geomantic treasure land suitable for farming.
After crossing Congling, there are not many places suitable for farming.
At that time, the Han army's sword can be used to obtain land for the Han family's plow.
It can also alleviate the pressure caused by excessive population growth.
After spreading the matter and explaining it clearly, Liu Che threw the remaining seven or eight reports into the brazier and burned them without even reading them.
This is because his purpose has been achieved.
This is especially because, in fact, most of the remaining reports are blank.
Liu Che was just bluffing to scare the old princes: I know everything about you, but I am magnanimous and will not care about it.
But the princes didn't know, so many people who had evil thoughts were frightened to death.
When they walked out of the palace, some people were still patting their chests with lingering fear, feeling that the clothes on their backs were soaked through.
