After traveling through the book and becoming the fake daughter's biological sister

In the evening, Yunzhang and King Wei rode their horses to Puchang County.

All I saw was the ruins after the fire last night, a desolate scene.

The fire was very big last night, and some of the nearby mountains and trees were burned. After the villagers' intense firefighting, it is now basically out, with some smoke still coming out. Under the setting sun, it is a desolate scene.

Many people were crying together. Their only dilapidated house was gone, their belongings were gone, and their fields were burned down.

An old woman and King Wei cried, "Even a flood couldn't be this terrible!"

King Wei comforted him coldly: "It's good that he is okay."

The old woman was comforted. Because for a normal person, being alive is good. Fortunately, the prince had already asked everyone to avoid it. Moreover, the prince came to see it in person. The prince personally saw the situation of the people and would definitely help everyone.

The old woman cried again: "Those people deserve to die! They want to kill the prince, they will not die well!"

Someone came over and said, "Go dig up the Jiao family's ancestral grave."

Many people shouted: "Go dig up the Jiao family's ancestral graves!"

Yun Zhang looked at the fertile fields where crops were growing well. Now they were all burnt yellow and black, with very little green, like a burnt bald head. Thousands of acres of land were ruined. Thousands of people had no food left.

Fortunately, it is a peaceful and prosperous time now, there is no major disaster, and food can be obtained from other places. Otherwise, the people will be even more desperate, and they can directly form a group to go to Jiao's house, and now it is clear.

Ou Huang, Song Gongming, Meng Dan and others also came to see. They are definitely different from ordinary people, but they can stand from the perspective of governing the country.

An old man came over with a cane and said to King Wei, "This field is very good."

Yun Zhang asked, "How much land do you have?"

A villager shouted: "More than 200 acres. They want more."

The old man was wearing a green robe and was in much better condition than the peasant.

Yun Zhang talked to the common people: "How much does this field produce?"

An old farmer replied: "In previous years, we could harvest 300 kilograms, but this year the water is too high, so we can only harvest 200 kilograms."

Yun Zhang asked, "Do you know how much this kind of fertile land can produce when it is not flooded?"

The old farmer knows: "At its best, it can reach more than 500 kilograms."

Yun Zhang said, "Everyone can do the math, right? Planting one acre of land is equivalent to planting two acres, and people don't have to work so hard. For those who don't have enough brains, don't even think about it. Follow the prince and live a good life. The prince won't let you starve anyway! The prince doesn't farm, so he must still ask you to farm. For those who have enough brains, think more!"

King Wei said nothing and just listened to the girl.

Everyone knows that the girl is extraordinary, and her face looks particularly reassuring in the sunset.

Yun Zhang said, "This is a good field! This is a rough jade! It has not yet emitted its true light! If you want to live a good life, you can't just think about it, you must think seriously! If you live this kind of life, I will say you are stupid! Of course, there was no way before. Now we have given you an opportunity! When you are poor, you must change, and when you change, you will get through, and when you get through, you will last long! Don't be inflexible!"

Someone shouted in support: "We can't do this!"

Yun Zhang pointed to the low-lying fertile fields below and said, "For something like this, there is another way. We must fence it off to block the water."

Many people accepted it. Although it is not easy to block such a large area.

Yun Zhang said, "To ensure people's safety, the place where people live should be high enough, and boats should be prepared so that they can escape in case of floods. Things that are greatly affected by floods should be abandoned, and things that are less affected or even like water should be chosen. You have to follow the will of heaven and earth. Orange trees, pear trees, and jujube trees are all good, and grass on the ground can grow freely."

Meng Dan said: "Like Osmanthus Village, mainly growing osmanthus?"

Yun Zhang said: "The old way is definitely limited. Only by constantly breaking through it can we develop continuously. In places suitable for growing grain, we should strive to increase the yield to meet the needs of more people. In places that are not suitable for growing grain, or suitable for growing other things, if we can get more, we can grow other things. This is called economy, commerce or industrialization. Some people study, and some people practice martial arts. This is the division of labor, and then cooperation. Men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. That's about it."

Yun Zhang said to the farmers, "Don't think that you need silver to buy food. If you can earn 20 taels of silver doing something else, it would be more cost-effective to spend 10 taels of silver to buy food."

This is a long-term thing.

Yun Zhang just said casually: "This land is really fertile. We can grow grass and raise cattle. If we raise a thousand cattle, we can get cowhide, beef, and horns. When there is a flood, we can drive the cattle away. Buffaloes are not afraid of water. A cow can produce 400 kilograms of meat. A kilogram of beef is 60 coins. A cow can be sold for about 30 taels of silver. That's 30,000 taels of silver. How much can a village get from planting 2,000 mu of land?"

Everyone was stunned. Is it possible to raise so many cows?

Yun Zhang said, "If you can raise so many cattle in a horse farm, you can raise cattle in a cattle farm as well. Plow cattle are for work, but beef cattle need more research. How many years should we raise them for the best meat and the most cost-effective? How many years should we raise them for the best hide, and we also need to milk them. If we want to raise them, we must raise them to perfection. In the future, everyone will have enough food and can eat meat regularly, that's good."

An old man rushed over and shouted, "You can't just kill cows."

Yun Zhang asked, "If you can kill animals, why can't you kill cows?"

The old man was extremely angry and cursed the Yunzhang woman in a very difficult to understand dialect.

The Tiger Guards drew their swords and chopped.

Yun Zhang calmly said to everyone: "Don't kill cattle casually. Why? It's to protect farmland and ensure that everyone has food to eat. Don't put the cart before the horse. Ploughing and harrowing have also developed. In the future, we need to make more farm tools to improve efficiency. It's better to unblock than to block. If there is a problem, we should think of a better way to solve it, instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater."

Yun Zhang thought it was quite interesting. It costs about 15 taels of silver to buy a cow, and the value of killing a cow is about 20 taels of silver. So don't keep the cows, just kill them. Why is the price of cows 15 taels of silver? This has been formed over a long period of time. For example, a donkey costs about 5 taels of silver, and an ordinary horse costs 20 taels of silver, which means that cows cannot be sold for 30 taels of silver.

Song Gongming also knew how to calculate. A cow with 300 jin of meat could be sold for 18 taels of silver. Even if the butcher's profit was added, if the final profit from killing a cow was 25 taels of silver, the government would take 3 taels, the butcher would take 2 taels, and the other 2 taels would be deducted, which would still be 3 taels more than the profit from a live cow.

Yun Zhang concluded: "It's like if a hundred households raised cattle here and planted some fruit trees and mulberry trees, they would have some other income, which is definitely more cost-effective than growing grain."

There is no need to raise cattle in Yunlin. Yunzhang can also eat beef and mutton.

King Wei made the decision: "Find a place to raise at least 500 cows."

Zhu Bing nodded. Everyone's brains became active.

A farmer said excitedly: "Others rely on the mountains to eat and the water to eat. We rely on this fertile land. We will definitely be able to change our way of eating. And the prince will come to help us."

An old farmer was worried: "What is this going to become?"

The young man said, "Be flexible! Be flexible!"

Who wants to be so poor that they can’t get married?
