With Jian Yong's shout, Liu Bei felt as if he had been electrocuted, his entire body turning numb.
One foot?
The straight shaft plow of three men and two oxen could only eat 70% of the soil, but the curved shaft plow of one man and one ox could eat a foot of soil?
This meant that it wouldn't take long for the two banks of the Nan River to have a grand scene of nearly ten thousand mu of fertile farmland.
Ten thousand mu of fertile land,
Even if he followed Qin Feng's 30 - 70 land tax ratio, he would still have close to a few million catties of grain during the autumn harvest.
This was not even counting the output of the army.
Tsk tsk,
Even if he had 30,000 soldiers under him, it would be enough for him to eat and drink for half a year until the next summer harvest.
Thinking that he would not have to worry about food in the coming year, Liu Bei could not help but feel his heart heat up.
"Wenxuan…"
Liu Bei turned his head and stared straight at Qin Feng. His gaze was simply too mesmerizing.
"My Wenxuan is really like a fish in water.”
Liu Bei said emotionally to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng shook his head helplessly. He didn't like the ancient people's way of expressing their emotions.
"Duke Xuande, please stop looking at me like that. I'm not a young lady. Besides, this is only the first step of a long journey.”
"Long March?"
Liu Bei was slightly taken aback, unable to react to Qin Feng's occasional new words.""Wenxuan, what is the meaning of this?"
"Ahem…"
Qin Feng scratched his head and coughed a few times."This, this means that we still have a long way to go in the future, understand?”
"Hahaha, Wen Xuan's description is really too apt. Indeed, we still have a long way to go in the future.”
Liu Bei smiled delightedly and shouted at Jian Yong,""Xianhe, immediately put up a notice. All citizens registered according to their household register can go to the county government to get a pair of curved shaft plows and a cattle to rent in turn.
The rental fee was included in 30% of the land tax, and the remaining 70% belonged to the people.”
"Yes!"
Jian Yong bowed and immediately left with the officials.
At this moment, the commoners who were watching by the side seemed to have realized something.
This curved shaft plow…
It's not for the government's exclusive use, but to rent it to us. Moreover, we only take 30% of the fee, and the remaining 70% is for ourselves?
In this chaotic world, the ratio of land taxes was like a fairy tale.
Plop...
After the crowd recovered from their shock, they all knelt down before Liu Bei.
"Imperial Uncle Liu is so benevolent. This commoner's family finally has hope and a way out!”
"Thank you, Imperial Uncle Liu, for your kindness. I will definitely support you!”
"I've long heard of Imperial Uncle Liu's benevolence and righteousness. What I've seen today is truly admirable. We finally have hope…"
In this era where kneeling was not popular, such a big bow was enough to show how grateful the people were.
Liu Bei was stunned by this scene.
To be honest, if it was in the past, he would definitely be inexplicably excited.
Because this represented the will of the people, and a great event could be expected.
But now, he had mixed feelings.
Benevolence?
Was this the so-called benevolence and righteousness?
In the past, my benevolence and righteousness mostly stopped in my mouth. I really did very little for the well-being of the common people.
As for Wen Xuan, don't look at him being sloppy all day. What he did was for the people.
The present curved shaft plow, watering cart,
The method of opening up wasteland that has been introduced and gradually implemented,
There was also the refined salt that was about to be sold to the public.
What am I compared to him?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei laughed at himself and said loudly,""Everyone, Qu Yuanli is my military advisor, Qin Feng, Qin Wenxuan. He designed the 30% tax for farming. You should thank him.”
When the commoners heard this, they were all slightly stunned and looked at Qin Feng, who was beside Liu Bei, with confusion.
They had never expected that all these plans for the well-being of the people had come from the hands of this young man before them.
This young man was truly the lucky star of the commoners.
"We thank Mister Qin for your kindness. We will definitely remember your kindness.”
"Mister is talented and wise. You are truly a lucky star that has descended to the world and benefited the people.”
Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Liu Bei, secretly thinking that Liu Bei should not have pushed him out.
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and spread his hands.
Immediately after, Qin Feng walked over to the commoners and personally helped them up.
Among the commoners kneeling on the ground, there was no lack of old men who were close to 60 years old. Qin Feng did not dare to accept such a huge gift.
"Alright, there's no need to be so polite. You'd better go to the county government to register first, then rent the farming tools according to the order.”
Qin Feng waved his hand and persuaded the commoners.
Everyone thanked him profusely before they stood up and left.
