Three Kingdoms: Economic mastermind, Cao Cao wins!

"I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, the people in these positions are also held by some people from big families, and random changes may cause disgust among these people."

"Lord, come with me, I'll bring something, it's outside now, you can make a decision after you see it

."

"Oh, what's that?".

Hearing Li Mo's words, Cao Cao was also curious, and immediately got up and followed Li Mo outside, and at this time, there was already a big box outside, which was naturally full of crops, and Cao Cao looked at this crop with a curious face, because he had never seen these things like small clods

"Abundance, what is this?".

"Lord, this is a potato, which can be used as a staple food or as a dish, and there are many ways to cook it, such as frying, cooking, frying, roasting, and even stir-frying."

"Oh, it's a new thing, it's full of heart."

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought that this was a gift that Li Mo was going to give him, but Li Mo shook his head decisively

"Lord, the 100,000 stone grain and grass I gave you before have basically emptied all the grain in Pingqiu County, and I have borrowed a lot of grain from some families."

"Abundance has a heart, don't worry about this matter, I will keep it in my heart."

"Lord, I'm not here to invite you to do this, the yield of this potato per mu is more than 30 stones, as for the other red-skinned sweet potato, which is similar to potatoes, the yield per mu can basically be more than 50 stones."

"Well, um, what do you say, how much is the yield per mu, thirty stones, fifty stones? Abundance is not a joke

."

As soon as he heard Li Mo's words, Cao Cao's soothing face began to become a little serious, and the rest of the questions were not to be said, but this grain matter is related to a country's major affairs, Cao Cao has never heard of so many crops per mu in his life, and it is already a good harvest to be able to produce more than three stones per mu, what Li Mo said is too exaggerated

"My lord, don't you believe this?"

"Li Mo, this kind of thing is not a joke".

"What if it's true?"

"Then you are the saint who saves all nations."

"Alas, sure enough, since the lord doesn't believe it, forget it, these things can be used as long as they are peeled and heated, and there are many ways to leave them for the lord to enjoy."

"Abundance, what the hell do you want to do?".

Li Mo suddenly made Cao Cao very surprised, although Cao Cao was also more curious about this new crop, but the income per mu was more than thirty stones, so Cao Cao didn't take it seriously at all, and Li Mo took out a plan book about the tuntian system made by himself at this time

"Tuntian system, good name, abundant, in fact, I have long had this idea, but I am far less detailed than you think."

When he saw Li Mo's plan for the Tuntian system, Cao Cao also greatly appreciated

it

"The use of soldiers and landless peasants to cultivate wasteland, and divide it into three types: military tun, min tun and Shang tun, first of all, the original surrender of troops, the use of these surrendered troops, a large range of Dongjun, Chenliu County, Jibei County, these three counties began to implement the policy of military tun, so that a large number of apprentices can be obtained, and in the central areas such as Xuchang, recruit displaced people to tuntian, and then promote".

"Then what does this Shangtun mean?"

The first two Cao Cao can understand and agree, but he really hasn't heard of the last way of Shangtun, and the Shangtun method listed by Li Mo is completely different from the orthodox way of Shangtun

"Lord, such a large range of tuntian system wants to be implemented, the money needed is not a small amount, first of all, it takes a lot of money to build houses just to appease the displaced people, and secondly, to appease these displaced people in the early stage must invest a certain amount of money and grain, in the short term, this is not a small amount, plus a variety of farm tools, this is a lot of expenses, this has not yet counted the cattle, if all are calculated, not counting the grain, the money alone will need at least tens of millions of money, it is expected that at least 20 million money can be fully used"

"What? 20 million?".

Listening to the figures reported by Li Mo, Cao Cao was so shocked that he almost didn't jump up, with 20 million money, does he still need the tuntian system, and he has already started to recruit troops and buy horses

"Don't worry, and I'm afraid that these 100,000 stones of grain and grass can't be saved, and even at least 200,000 stones of grain and grass are needed to be able to deal with the autumn harvest."

"This ...... It's too much, no, no, it's abundant, you promised me at that time that you could solve the problem of rations for these 300,000 soldiers, and now why are you backing down."

"Don't worry, this is what I said about Shangtun's behavior, simply put, it is carried out by bartering, uniting the lord, the family, and the displaced people to solve this problem."

"What does that mean?".

"To put it simply, the family pays for the grain, and in the harvest, the family takes a part, the lord takes a part, and the remaining part is used to appease the homeless, and not only for the family, even if it is a businessman."

"How can this be done, my Han has a clear rule that merchants are not allowed to own a large amount of land, this is the rule

."

"Lord, the rules are dead, people are alive, not to let the businessman completely own the land, but to let the businessman have a part of the land lease right, but also to increase a part of the price, in this way, the problem can be solved, not to mention, but also to make money, in less than a year, the lord no longer needs to worry about grain and grass."

"This ...... It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult to implement, and it's not so easy for these families to come up with the money, especially if they haven't seen the results yet."

Cao Cao listened to Li Mo's plan, and he also felt that Li Mo's plan was equivalent to allowing Cao Cao to get the most benefits with the least effort, and he could also gain a reputation as virtuous, killing multiple birds with one stone, but it was very difficult to do it

"Lord, how is this, not to mention, just on the fertile land near Xuchang, can the lord negotiate with the family, let me lease it at a fairer price, and I am a comprehensive lease, just a lot of the fertile land around Xuchang is now abandoned, these families don't have to do it for a year, let these guys see that it is profitable, and the problem can be solved at that time."
