The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Industry alone is not enough." Li Mu inspected a section of the field. He found that there were more barren areas in the field, but less planting. Traditional corn was planted more than wheat. This made Li Mu worried about Zhao's grain output.

"Prime Minister, the best time for spring planting has passed. If you plant again at this time, I am afraid." Li Zuoche said worriedly at the back.

"Yeah." Li Mu nodded. He knew what he was worried about. I am not worried about this problem at all.

"If the grain output is not resolved, we may still have to import a large amount of grain from Qin. A country that cannot even stabilize its grain output will not be considered a powerful country at all." Li Mu said. In the Changping War that year, Zhao was not lost on the battlefield. It was strength, what was strength, and economy. Qin State had a lot of grain reserves, but Zhao did not. Zhao needs to borrow grain to get through this. Looking at the past now, there are not many places where there is really food in the six countries of Guandong. Zhao Guo must now solve his own food problem.

"Do you know how Qin people grow food?" Li Mu asked at this time.

"This, I know." Li Zuoche replied.

"Farms, ranches, their farms are very large. I saw almost all the smallest ones I have checked hundreds of acres of land. In the farm, there are only a few people working specifically, and there are big machines in the middle of the gate to help them go together." Speaking of the car.

"Oh." Li Mu knew Qin's farm, but didn't know how Qin people run it. This time he was surprised when he heard that the number of people on the farm was very small.

"Can such a small number of people come here?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes." Li Zuoche said.

"Their farms grow wheat on hundreds of acres, and they are very professional. So they only need to plant wheat. The result of large-scale planting is that the number of people is much smaller, and many people from Qin people go to cities to find jobs. Those who remain can use machinery or special care. Just like Qin’s factory. We grow a small piece of grain, while the other side produces a large piece of grain. Among them, The difference is here, our food quality is different, but the other side's food quality is the same." Li Zuoche said.

"Treat it like a factory." Li Mu whispered.

"I heard that in order to encourage farmers to grow more wheat, the people of Qin also specially set up interest-free loans from the government, and related policies are also supported relatively well. For example, there is no tax payment for the cultivation of male wheat and the export of wheat. Such preferential policies Let us also be envious." Li Zuoche said.

"Oh." Li Mu nodded.

"Look at us again, we have nothing." Li Zuoche took the comparison with Qin Guo, and he knew that his country was very inadequate in this regard, and it was this insufficiency that made Li Zuoche feel very shameless.

At this moment, an old woman carrying a basket and a child in her hand walked slowly over. Li Mu motioned to Li Zuoche, and then two people came forward, and more people were behind. They came out to inspect. The fewer people, the more they know.

Li Mu quickly stepped forward and approached the old woman by asking for directions. The old woman saw the two people dressed neatly and knew that they weren't ordinary people, so she enthusiastically told each other where the place was. In fact, Li Mu and Li Zuoche had known it a long time ago. Both have experienced wars, and the use of maps in wars has become the norm.

"Old woman, we have some tea and cakes. Let's take a break." Li Mu motioned to Li Zuoche, and Li Zuoche had opened the can of biscuits he had brought with him and handed it to the old woman's grandson. Seeing the delicious food, the little grandson hesitated at first, but Li Zuoche enthusiastically handed it to him, and the little grandson ate it when he thought it was delicious. Biscuits are still Qin's patent, but they can be imitated on a large scale. Zhao has already developed a trend of imitation, and Qin's things are easy for them to imitate. It’s just that there is a big difference in quality. For example, biscuits, Qin State’s sweet biscuits, mainly taste, and salty biscuits are used in wartime. Sugars are hard to find and there are fewer substitutes. Therefore, sugar biscuits are less. But Zhao Guo only made salted biscuits. And the taste is very bad.

"This." The old woman was a little embarrassed.

"We still have some questions for advice. I see how barren this field is, I don't know what's going on?" Li Mu asked.

"Oh. This matter." The old woman looked a little worried when she heard such a thing.

"Those barren land is the noble land, and there are some places where small plots are planted are our own land." The old woman said.

"We could have planted it, but if they don't know who the land is sold to, they don't plant it. It's all a good field, a good place. It's a pity. I just threw it here this year. It hurts to look at it. "The old woman said worriedly.

"Our land is all small, and we feel distressed and distressed. We just planted some corn, but we can also harvest some grain." The old woman said.

"It's a pity that young people nowadays. They all ran out to work outside of Handan. They also paid wages, and some did not pay wages, but they gave food and took care of it. In this way, it is better than growing food at home. It’s more cost-effective and can bring in wages. Food is not expensive, and you can eat meat in just a few months, so all the people in the village who can give their energy go out to work. Some land is sold. Some land is just. Do not plant this way." The old woman said.

"It wasn't like this before. Now, I'm really worried." The old woman shook her head and said.

Hear here. The sweat on Li Mu's back was also flowing.

"Qin people's food prices are very cheap. There are only one and a half two in Handan, and you can buy special supplies of food. And the price of wheat is cheaper. It is not good for the food to be cheap. We are all farmers, knowing that If the price of food is too low, it will be worthless, and people will not cherish the food. This is squandering. It's too scary." The old woman continued.

At this time, Li Mu was vaguely aware of some of the purposes of Qin's large-scale export of grain to Zhao. If Qin continued to export grain to Zhao like this, Zhao's agriculture would suffer a great blow, because The first impact was the relatively weak agriculture in the country of Zhao, and the factory evacuated a large amount of labor. The land is barren and the price of food is low. What would happen if the people of Qin suddenly raised the price of food? Li Mu felt a chill on his back. He knew that Qin's tricks were too powerful.
