Chapter 251 Potato Harvest! Crazy Growing Taxes!
Chapter 251
"Tuoer! Tuoer! The potatoes are cooked, they are cooked!"
Early in the morning, before Zhao Tuo finished his meal, he heard Ying Zheng's ecstatic voice outside the palace.
Sure enough, Ying Zheng trotted in, panting, before he could take off his voice.
"You can slow down and be careful of falling." Zhao Tuo smiled wryly.
Although he looked calm on the surface, he was equally happy when he heard the news.
This time the potatoes were ripe, and he had waited too long.
After all, the seeds can only be planted in a few acres from the beginning, until now the entire Daqin can be planted in a large area.
No one knows better than him the forbearance and sacrifice involved.
Not only Ying Zheng, Meng Yi and Li Si, who trotted in behind him, were also full of spring breeze at this time.
"Nine Zero Three"
It can be seen that this output is absolutely satisfying to them.
Otherwise, Ying Zheng, the former First Emperor, would not be so excited.
Before Zhao Tuo could open his mouth to ask, Ying Zheng started talking to Zhao Tuo about the victory.
"The five counties of Beidi, Hanzhong, Nanyang, Hedong, Sanchuan, and the surrounding villages of Xianyang have planted 600,000 mu of potatoes."
"Judging from the yield per mu reported in various places, the average yield per mu is more than 8,000 catties!
"This is 480,000 catties! 99
"Forty million stone potatoes!
Ying Zheng trembled with excitement.
At first he couldn't believe the number.
It was not until he counted it over and over again that he gradually accepted the big surprise.
Forty million stone grains, this is tantamount to getting rich overnight for the current Da Qin.
What is the population of Daqin now?
Twenty-five million.
This is equivalent to the potatoes produced in these five counties alone, and everyone in the entire Qin Dynasty can share more than a stone and a half of potatoes.
Specifically, it is more than one hundred and ninety pounds.
This is only a one-time gain.
With the climate around Xianyang, potatoes can be cooked twice a year.
Then it is equivalent to an annual output of 80 million stone potatoes.
Say without hesitation.
If the people of Daqin only eat potatoes, then everyone does not have to work, and it is only the production of the five counties around Xianyang.
It will be able to fill the stomach of the entire Daqin people!
Of course, this is just an assumption.
After all, Daqin people can't just eat potatoes, and Daqin doesn't just grow potatoes.
But at least, Daqin will never be threatened by famine in the future!
Zhao Tuo said with a smile on his face: "Father, the current yield is just reaching the passing level. After more crops mature, that will be a real bumper harvest! 99
"Besides, this potato harvest is just the beginning, we still have to do the follow-up preparations first."
Zhao Tuo put down his chopsticks, and after pondering for a moment, he looked at Meng Yi and Li Si and explained, "Now that so many potatoes are ripe, the people are extremely wealthy."
"Excluding what you eat and turn over to the state treasury, you can still have more than 60% left.
"If these 625 million stone potatoes are ignored, they might be wasted. The two Aiqings will quickly sort out some of the potato processing methods that I have come up with before and publish them for free."
Li Si and Meng Yi nodded.
With these production methods, those mercenary merchants will definitely spontaneously buy the potatoes hoarded by the common people.
Once these potatoes are on the market, economic growth is just around the corner!
Ying Zheng also counted his fingers with a look of joy at this time.
"Potatoes can be eaten much more than millet, and the price of one buck per buck is not too much, right?
"Twenty-five million stones, that's twenty-five million buckets, more than twenty-five million dollars!"
"I really didn't expect that the people of Daqin would become so rich, hahahaha!!!
Hearing Ying Zheng's mouth keep reporting data, Zhao Tuo felt a big headache.
He still can't get used to the unit Wanwan, and it seems that it's time for Ying Zheng and others to indoctrinate this unit.
No wonder Ying Zheng was so happy.
Xianyang and the surrounding five counties plant 600,000 mu of potatoes, equivalent to 200,000 households...
And the 250,000,000 yuan is distributed among these 200,000 households, and each household can share more than 1,200 yuan on average.
After deducting 10% of the business tax, there are still more than 1,100 dollars left.
This is definitely a lot of income for the people.
It can be said that these people who planted potatoes first, instantly broke away from the standard of living that was originally just struggling on the line of survival.
The business tax of more than 100 yuan per household, plus the land tax of more than 300 yuan, a total tax increase of 120 million yuan is also a good thing for the national treasury.
Although it is said that 120 million yuan is not a lot in the total amount of state treasury supported by government-run shops today.
But don't forget.
This is just the tax of 200,000 households, people who grow potatoes!
How many households are there in Daqin?
How many other crops of various kinds are planted?
How much tax will this generate?
And in addition to this, there is also the business taxation of businessmen.
This time the super crops are fully spread throughout Daqin, how many crops will flow into the market as far more than expected?
How many commodities made from these raw materials will enter the market?
The circulation of all goods carries a certain tax behind it!
Moreover, Zhao Tuo does not count the secondary profit of these crops.
For example, it is bought by other -1.0 dealers, and then sold at a high price after increasing the price.
All these things are added together, but it is not as simple as simple data.
This will represent the prosperity of the entire Daqin people, the development of merchants, and the growth of the economy.
When there are more merchants, there will be more varieties of goods.
The more types of commodities, the more money will flow in the basement of wealthy families.
More money entered the market, again stimulating consumption.
The last and more direct manifestation is the growth of treasury revenue.
After counting down, even Zhao Tuo already felt that his head was not enough.
All in all, this is a great thing!
A good thing that can make Daqin's national power rise wildly!
