Then, Brother Zheng started to talk about the second step.
"After the commoners recognize the power of the curved shaft plow, the royal family can begin to sell it and allow the commoners to use the iron from their plows to exchange for goods.”
"But if the nobles want to buy it, they have to use money.”
"The second step is to harvest the cotton. The cold wave this year may be even colder. Only the royal family has cotton-padded jackets. If this step is done well, most of the people will be grateful to the royal family.”
Li Si, Wang Jian, and the others nodded. The matter of the cotton was no longer a secret in Xianyang City.
Many nobles tried their best to find out, and some even sent people to the cotton fields to steal seeds.
However, they were all captured by the soldiers led by Meng Yi.
However, there were still many places where the commoners did not know.
After making cotton-padded jackets and selling them to the commoners at a low price, the commoners would once again see how good Great Qin was.
When Brother Zheng said this, he added," The planting of cotton and the sale of Quyuan Plow must be firmly controlled by the Imperial Court!”
"The third step is to change the land policy. This is the last step to win the hearts of the people, and also the most crucial step!”
"We'll discuss how to formulate this after we've completed the first two steps and see the specific effects!”
In fact, Brother Zheng had already planned to implement the land tax reform method that Su Yang had mentioned, but he did not plan to say it now.
This was because the extent of the reform was still affected by the effects of the first two steps.
If the results were good, then they would directly announce a new land policy.
If the effect was not good, then he had to plan slowly and not be impatient.
Brother Zheng explained the strategy of brewing wine to the nobles and gave a copy of the method of brewing wine to the Shao Fu.
The Shao Fu was responsible for managing the income of the mountains, seas, and marshes that were specially used by the royal family, as well as the government's handicraft industry.
To put it simply, all the things that were made were under the management of this department.
If Brother Zheng wanted to brew wine, he would naturally have to look for them.
He said that he was calling the ministers over to discuss matters, but in fact, it was Brother Zheng who was talking alone. The ministers just had to listen.
When he was about to finish, Brother Zheng suddenly remembered something.
"Li Si, Qu Yuanli's promotion should avoid the place where Su Yang is, understand? I don't want to lay my cards on the table yet!"
" Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Si was taken aback, then cupped his hands." As Your Majesty commands!"”
Wang Jian, Wang Ben, and Zhang Han were curious.
He wanted to know who the Su Yang the Emperor was talking about was, but he did not dare to ask the Emperor.
The three of them looked at each other and prepared to ask Li Si later.
Just as Brother Zheng's palace was issuing the order.
It was already late. Su Yang and the others were eating hotpot in Little Restaurant of Immortal Destiny.
Ying Yinman didn't leave either. She said that she would stay here and see big sister Diao Chan get better.
However, under Su Yang's superb medical treatment and massage, Diao Chan could actually walk before dinner time.
Ying Yinman, who had witnessed the entire process, completely believed in Su Yang's medical skills.
After witnessing Su Yang's amazing abilities, it was already around four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Ying Yinman didn't want to walk back at night, so she stayed for the night.
When she first saw New Immortal Destiny Restaurant today, she fell in love with this new type of manor-villa-style building.
This was very novel to her, who had grown up in the Imperial Palace.
"Manman, didn't your father say when he would come back?”
Su Yang asked casually as they chatted over hotpot.
Ying Yinman picked up a piece of meat that she didn't recognize and put it in her mouth. It was spicy and hot.
After hearing Su Yang's words, he said vaguely,"After a while. Anyway, it definitely won't work in a month or two.”
She knew very well that her father had returned to Xianyang for an important matter, especially the matter of the cotton maturing.
Ying Yinman guessed that her father would definitely wait until the cotton was harvested before coming back.
"By the way, Brother Su Yang, what kind of meat is this? It's so delicious. It's much better than mutton!”
Su Yang looked at Ying Yinman's face, which had turned red from the spiciness, and said with a smile,"This, this is pork!"
"Pork?" Ying Yinman was a little confused. She didn't know what a pig was.
Su Yang saw her confused look and slapped his head.
"It's dolphin meat!"
He had forgotten that pigs were not called pigs in this era. They would only be pale if they were called pigs.
Hearing that it was pig meat, Ying Yinman's hand stopped in mid-air.
"Brother Su Yang, is what you said true? The pig meat was very unpalatable. It was smelly and difficult to swallow. How could it be so delicious?”
She was in disbelief. She stared at the pork belly in her hand, trying to see what was wrong with Su Yang's pork.
People in this era basically ate mutton. There was a policy that forbade people from eating beef.
Su Yang smiled." Actually, it's very simple to make pork not stinky and smelly. If there's a chance, get Xu Chu to teach you. He's an experienced butcher!”
Xu Chu nodded." Miss Qin, you'll understand when you come and watch me kill them next time. It's very simple. Once you go back and tell your servants, they'll be able to do it."”
"Yes, thank you, Uncle Xu!" Ying Yinman thanked him sweetly.
"Xu... Uncle?"
Xu Chu was dumbfounded when he heard that.
Good heavens, you call the young master brother and me uncle? Wasn't there a difference in seniority?
Besides, I'm not that old, right? It's not my fault that I look anxious, right?
Azure Dragon and the others hurriedly raised their wine glasses and drank, afraid that they could not help but laugh.
Su Yang also laughed happily.
Although Green Dragon, Xu Chu, and the others considered themselves as subordinates, Su Yang treated them as family in his heart.
Therefore, Su Yang did not care about the difference in seniority.
It was just a form of address.
