"And potatoes, we need to plant them in large quantities. Potatoes have a short harvest period and high yields, so they are definitely a good product."
Li Zhao added.
Li Jinong had already learned about such high-yield grain from Li Zhao, and nodded repeatedly, "This is also necessary."
The harvest period of potatoes is about three months, and after one month of planting, they will be ready to harvest in just a few days, which is even better than that of rice.
"I believe that after this food crisis, the people have learned about our high grain yield, suppression of business has been banned, and fertilizer production will be increased."
At present, fertilizer production is only for personal use. If it is the fertilization stage, it is true that the produced fertilizer can only be used by oneself, but if there is no need to fertilize at this time, then the produced fertilizer can be put into the market in large quantities.
Gao Qiu had ordered fertilizer before and had already started to publicize it. Coupled with this famine and such a high yield of food, people naturally thought of fertilizer, so someone must have been eyeing fertilizer.
Just keep an eye on it, so you don't have to go out for publicity.
In other words, after the ban on suppressing business, all industries in Chang'an Township can produce and sell in large quantities. This is a good start.
The breeding farm is also operating normally, and pigs are available every time.
So many industries continue to provide a large amount of money to Chang'an Township, but Li Zhao feels that this is not enough. Production needs to be expanded and industries must be diversified.
Furthermore, as production expands and the natural manpower increases, more people need to be hired. So many people need a place to live. The existing accommodation is completely insufficient and is temporary.
It's time to build a shelter.
The architecture of the Qin Dynasty is still relatively backward, but it is famous for its bricks. In his previous life, Li Zhao had heard of Qin bricks and Han tiles. Qin bricks were blue bricks, but they were not available to ordinary people.
Blue bricks are expensive and can only be used by princes and nobles, while ordinary people live in wooden houses.
In fact, this polarized wealth gap will inhibit business. Therefore, in order for Da Qin's economy to develop, what he must do is to make some people rich first.
It sounds unfair to make some people rich, but it is also a good way to develop the economy.
This is what Li Zhao did. The people who got rich first were the original capitalists. These people invested to create jobs for the people. Once the people had income, they could boldly consume. This consumption would make the economy lively.
.
This is the basic idea of economic development.
But if we really want to do this, we must first let everyone have enough food and have enough food.
The rice in Chang'an Township can provide conditions for this.
The grain that was put into Xianyang some time ago was to solve the famine problem, but this time it can be used specifically as grain seed and promoted everywhere. In less than two years, with the addition of high-yielding grains such as corn and potatoes, he can guarantee that,
In less than two years, Da Qin will be able to solve the problem of food and clothing.
With food and clothing, the excess labor force can be freed up for handicraft production, which is the germ of commercial development.
As long as it develops, some people can specialize in non-agriculture, just like Chang'an Township. Many farmers in Chang'an Township are farmers from surrounding areas. In addition to taking care of their own fields, they also come to Chang'an Township to earn extra money.
income.
In fact, with the development of Chang'an Township, the demand for various products has increased. Farmers have found that what they can earn in Chang'an Township is much more than what their own fields produce, so many people have given up their status as tenant farmers and directly become employees of Chang'an Township.
.
This is the inevitable result of the development of handicraft industry.
When this situation becomes common throughout the Qin Dynasty, then the people will have extra food and money. Once they have money, they will pursue a better life. This can promote the economy very well. The better the economy, the more benefits it will bring.
The more people there are, this means that some people can drive others to become rich.
