Chapter 170 Reconciliation with this era

A chicken will be very conspicuous when it gets mixed into a duck, and a duck will be out of place when it gets mixed into a chicken coop.

It’s not that chickens are more noble than ducks, just because they are not the same species.

Bai Jingyuan felt that there were at least ten Mariana Trenches between him and the people here.

His mercy and kindness, in Shuyu's eyes, was purely a woman's kindness. Shuyu's despise of slaves and civilians for the sake of his own contempt, also made him reluctant to agree. He believed that no matter what his background was, at least from the perspective of personality, no one should be nobler than anyone else. A nobleman like Shuyu believed that everyone was born unequal...

Bai Jingyuan felt very painful. He also felt very uncomfortable when he was accused of such a king, Shuyu and the others.

No one can say which of them is more correct, but Shuyu and his ideas are undoubtedly more suitable for this era - it is really unrealistic to imagine the satisfaction of the spiritual world when it is difficult to eat.

Instead of being hypocritical, it is better to leak a little out of your fingers so that these people can get real benefits.

What's the use of being sad for nothing? What he should really do is to find ways to change the status quo.

Even if the fireflies are shining, hasn’t they illuminated a corner of the world at some moment?

Bai Jingyuan tossed and turned and thought for a night, and waited until dawn, and after a moment of enlightenment, he finally understood this truth.

Before leaving, Shuyu came over to eat with him. After the two of them bowed, they sat down separately. Bai Jingyuan was not as usual, just staring at the food. Today, he stood up and saluted Shuyu solemnly.

Uncle Yu didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he sat upright with his sleeves and waited for him to speak.

As a uncle, although there is a difference between the king and the ministers, he is still fundamentally different from the ministers next to him. At least at this time, he dared to receive the gift from the young master.

"Uncle! Bai hopes that those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country can spend their old age carefree and children who have not grown up can also grow up smoothly. So, what should I do?"

The kind young master bowed solemnly and looked at Shuyu with seriousness in his eyes.

Three years after coming to this world, he encountered this kind of painful thing again. Finally, he no longer just mourned silently, but learned to reconcile with this era through actions.

Just as he couldn't stand the thoughts of people here, Shuyu could not understand his thoughts. Yesterday, he did not achieve his goal. Shuyu keenly discovered his little emotions and gave a few words in private, saying that his wife's kindness was not worth it, and that war could not be unscathed. No matter how capable the generals could not do this, this victory was exchanged for the greatest gain with the smallest sacrifice, which was really worth it. He repeatedly warned him that as a superior, he should look at the problem calmly and not act voluntarily.

My eldest nephew was able to figure it out in such a short time and make effective efforts. Shuyu was very satisfied with this. He stroked his dark beard and told him about the various policies of Chu to treat his soldiers. He did not mention that he had received these educations since he was a child and should not know nothing.

It is a good excuse to waste three years. It is normal to forget what you learned when you were a child.

The State of Chu has been established for thousands of years, and it has a set of effective rules in charge. If you want to become a good king, you must keep these things in mind.

Shuyu is very happy that the young master can take the initiative to learn these things.

"Is it not enough to be only fourteen years old? Is it not enough to help raise the eldest son? What should I do if the other children are also given alimony from my parents at one time. What if the elderly are cheated? Besides, what should I do if my life span is not enough? I should come to the government to collect it on a monthly basis."

How can a 14-year-old half-aged child be able to establish a family? Or a junior high school student! People here often have several children, how can they be responsible for only one? Can other children drink the northwest wind? There is also the problem of supporting the elderly, which is also a lot of trouble.

The State of Chu's pension policy has long been related to the relevant regulations, but it is somewhat different from what Bai Jingyuan imagined.

I have to say that Ru Shuyu inherited the throne and could definitely crush the old king to no end. He remembered such boring policies clearly one by one.

"Do you know how many people there are in the Chu army?"

Shuyu didn't explain, and just asked this question, but Bai Jingyuan was instantly lost.

Even without a large war, the Chu army still followed the ancestral teachings and maintained a scale of one million. There may have been a stage of empty salary in history. But in recent years, not to mention whether the half of Hou's hand was in this situation, Shuyu's hand was a real 500,000.

There are so many people, even if they are just bandit suppression, many people sacrifice every year. The families of those soldiers are considered to be a huge group. It is really not easy to support them in vain. If there are still people behind the scenes who deceive their superiors and conceal their subordinates to make profits, it will definitely be an unbearable burden for the treasury.

Being able to do this is enough to make Chu laugh and proud of all the countries.

Bai Jingyuan sat down with a depressed waist and pondered for a long time until the noodles in the bowl were all lumped. Then he cheered up again and asked Shuyu: "Can we have a variety of grains to generate income? Our Chu State is full of wasteland, so why not cultivate it and cultivate it?"

Gong Shuyu was originally the Dasikong who was in charge of land and taxes. He knew the most about these things. While hearing this, he was relieved and funny about his ignorance.

"Reclaiming wasteland is very labor-intensive, and cultivating land is also very hard. We don't have enough population!"

"Then why not encourage childbirth and have more children?"

If the population is not enough, just work hard to live! This kind of problem is too simple, and even a playboy like him wants to get a solution!

"No matter how much you give birth, you have to raise your life! Without enough food, how can you raise so many people!"

Shuyu was very patient and almost all the pity in his eyes when he looked at his eldest nephew.

The eldest nephew finally made the lecture. He believed that as long as he worked hard to teach, he would become the king who was loved by the people of Chu in time!

Things have returned to the beginning.

Bai Jingyuan scratched his chin and thought hard.

Seeing that the person who came in quietly asked when he would set off, Uncle Yu waved his hand and signaled to rest for a day before he said that he would leave tomorrow.

When he returned to Phoenix Platform, there was a lot of people surrounding him. It would be not that easy for him to teach his eldest nephew well like now.

Bai Jingyuan didn't put these trivial matters on him. He just wanted to solve the problem of soldiers' pensions. However, he just pulled a thread, but found that there was a ball of thread as big as a bowl at the back, which almost made him full of his mind!

Just when his mind was getting hot and he wanted to faint, a light of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind!

He remembered that one year, his father and his brother were discussing at home that a certain electronics factory needed to replace the production line. His brother said that we must keep pace with the times and advanced tools and technologies can bring higher production capacity. In this way, we can save labor costs. However, his father said that the production line is too expensive, and if the input and output are not proportional to it, it will not be beautiful...

I heard that even though I think about it now, the reason why the Chu people could not reclaim more land and plant more food was not only population restrictions, but also because of the population restrictions, was there any reason why the tools were too backward?

"Uncle! Do you need to use plows when plowing the land?"

When I read novels in the past, if I encountered a thing that traveled through ancient times, I would have figuring out a thing called "Quyuan Li". Unfortunately, he only knew that there was such a thing, and he didn't know what it looked like.

But this is also a direction of effort!

Even if you don’t improve pears, you can improve other agricultural tools!

As a result, Uncle Yu was stunned for several seconds before asking him: "What plow?"

Don't know the existence of this thing?

Bai Jingyuan was stunned.

It seems like I have to find a few experts.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyuan suddenly remembered a disciple of the two fishermen and woodcutters who had met. He didn't know if he was still studying fertilization?

"Uncle! Go back quickly!"

Bai Jingyuan was full of farming, so he naturally felt that it was unwise to spend time here.
