Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Baili Ye took Qinghe's hand, smiled at each other, stood up and bowed, saying: "Thank you, Grandfather."

The queen smiled and said:

"Yer, you and He girl are going to get married in a month. Logically, you two should follow the rules of our ancestors and not see each other during the wedding.

I think starting from tomorrow, you two won't meet each other anymore, understand?"

Shang Yajun also smiled and echoed:

"Yes, Ye'er, this is the rule left by our ancestors. We can't break it."

Baili Ye and Qinghe looked at each other. Although they were a little reluctant, they still nodded obediently.

Baili Ye said softly: "Ye'er understands, follow all arrangements."

Qing He also blushed and said, "I also listen to the elders."

The Queen looked at them with satisfaction and continued:

"But don't be too sad. This month will pass quickly. After the wedding, you can stay together forever."

The banquet hall was filled with voices of approval and blessings, laughter and joy.

Everyone ate and chatted, the atmosphere was warm and lively.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet ended in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

The emperor arranged for Shangguan Chengwei and his family to be sent back to the Princess's Mansion in Qinghe.

Qinghe and Baili Ye stayed in the palace and went to the queen's bedroom together.

When everyone was seated, the emperor laughed loudly and praised Qinghe:

"He girl, Ziqian has reported the results of the trial planting of new crops in Tailai County. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. I really did not expect that these crops could have such a high yield.

Now that these crops have been successfully trial-planted, the next step is to consider promoting their cultivation. Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people. Only when the food problem of the people of Dasheng is solved can the people live and work in peace.

Therefore, Father wants Ye'er and He Yatou to formulate a promotion and planting plan based on the specific conditions of various places in Dasheng."

Qing He and Bai Li Ye looked at each other, then bowed and replied:

"I, your son, will obey your orders."

The emperor nodded and smiled, "Father wants the people of Dasheng to vigorously reclaim wasteland and grow crops. Do you have any good ideas?"

After thinking for a while, the prince spoke first:

“Father, I think we can first send some experienced farmers to various places to teach the planting methods and techniques of new crops so that the people can master them more quickly.

At the same time, some incentive mechanisms can be set up. All reclaimed wasteland will be exempted from taxes for three years, and the grain tax will be set at 20% in the future, so as to improve the enthusiasm of the people of Dasheng. "

The emperor thought for a moment and said:

"In the past, the tax on grain was 30%. Now that the new crops have been planted, the grain output has increased, and the tax on grain collected will be much higher than before. It is feasible."

Qing He continued:

"Father, I think that in order to increase the speed of the people's land reclamation, we can increase the investment in means of production such as farm tools and oxen, and reduce the cost of obtaining these for the people.

In addition, new agricultural tools, such as windmills and plows, are constantly improved and invented to improve planting efficiency.

At the same time, in order to better irrigate crops, water conservancy projects can be built, such as ditches, dams, ponds, etc., to ensure irrigation of farmland.”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Well, what you said makes sense. What else do you think, Ye'er?"

Baili Ye said seriously:

“When we went to the border this year, we organized the soldiers to be self-sufficient, reclaimed the surrounding wasteland and planted corn.

So far the planting results seem to be very good.

Therefore, I think we can promote the military farming system, organizing the army or the people to cultivate in the border areas or specific areas, which can not only ensure food supply but also strengthen the border defense. "

"Military farming system? Can you tell me more about it?" The emperor's eyes lit up and he asked in confusion.

Baili Ye explained: "The military farming system is to organize the army or the people to cultivate in a specific area. I think it can be divided into military farming and civilian farming.

For example, military settlements were where the land around the army was distributed to soldiers, allowing them to cultivate the land when they were not on the march or fighting, thereby solving the army’s food supply problem on their own.

Sixty people can be defined as a group, and the group members will serve as both "soldiers" and "farmers" at the same time. At the time of harvest, they must also pay a certain amount of rent to the state.

In addition, the families of soldiers can also come to carry out the matters of military farming.

The second type of settlements was for large numbers of landless refugees. The government could recruit them, give them the necessary tools to reclaim government farmland, and finally distribute the grain among them in a certain proportion.

This will combine labor and land, greatly promoting the development of agriculture. It will not only reduce the burden on people, but also solve the survival problem of refugees and increase the income of the court. "

The emperor and the prince listened very carefully and thought this method was feasible.

The emperor was excited and said solemnly:

"This is a brilliant plan! It can fully utilize land resources and enhance the country's grain reserves."

The emperor looked at Baili Ye with admiration and continued:

"The measures you proposed are all important. You still need to study how to implement them and come up with a detailed plan to present to us."

The Crown Prince, Baili Ye, and Qing He bowed and said, "Your subjects obey your command."

The queen watched the discussion with a smile on her face, her eyes full of satisfaction.

At this time, she said: "Your Majesty, the children are so smart and capable. It is really a blessing for our Dasheng."

The emperor laughed and nodded.

"Yes, I am very pleased. With these rising stars, I believe that Dasheng will be more prosperous in the future."

After thinking for a while, the emperor said:

“After the implementation of these measures, the food problem in Dasheng will be greatly alleviated.

However, as for the secret meeting to attend the new emperor's enthronement in Daxia, several countries were quite interested in Dasheng's grain.

Since ancient times, food has been a major problem faced by every country. I think each country may take action.

I wonder how we will face it then?"

After hearing this, several people fell into deep thought. Qing He smiled and said:

“Your Majesty, in my opinion, we can continue to vigorously develop agriculture and ensure that we have enough food reserves so that we can have confidence in facing any situation.

On the other hand, we can conduct a certain degree of food trade with other countries with which we have friendly relations, but we must strike a balance and neither become overly dependent nor completely reject them.

At the same time, strengthen border control to prevent any improper actions by other countries.

Furthermore, we can also use this opportunity to conduct some diplomatic consultations and cooperation with other countries, turning passivity into initiative and enhancing Dasheng’s status and influence among various countries.”

Baili Ye continued:

“Xiao He is right. We can also form a special intelligence team to closely monitor the movements of various countries so that we can formulate response strategies in a timely manner.

Furthermore, if some countries use this opportunity to attack Da Sheng, we can use this opportunity to demonstrate Da Sheng’s military strength and make those countries with ill intentions fearful.”
