Peng asked Jie to explain to Chen Hui for a reason, because the first thing about the expansion of the gate was Jie's idea and plan, and Peng left it to Jie to operate.

Nevertheless, Jie didn't overstep it. She reported everything to friends about the expansion of the gate.

In other words, Jie told Peng about the common people in the capital's expansion of the gate to manage food, and she also got Peng's approval.

"This is to make the civilians work harder so that the expansion of the gate can be completed as soon as possible." Peng said at this time.

In fact, Chen Hui didn't quite understand that just because he was in charge of food, the enthusiasm of the common people was so high?

Hearing Jie and Peng's words, Chen Hui had a bit of aftertaste and asked tentatively, "isn't it right to take charge of food when expanding the city?"

"As the people of the capital, it's their job to expand the city!" Jie said immediately.

Chen Hui suddenly nodded, it is so!

The common people living in the capital are the people of the capital. Whether it's the expansion of the capital or other work about the capital, the common people in the capital do it for nothing, and they don't give any reward.

This expansion of the gate gate of the capital has the advantage of managing food, which makes the people of the capital more interested.

At the beginning, Peng and Jie thought that Chen Hui was dissatisfied with Guan fan, so they asked this question.

At this time, seeing Chen Hui's look, Peng and Jie understood that they would be wrong.

"That won't work!" Chen Hui stood up, walked back and forth in the chamber, and said, "the life of the common people is too hard and needs to be reformed."

"Reform?" The old beggar didn't know why.

They can't understand the word reform.

Chen Hui laughed and said, "that is to say, I told my husband to change the existing rules."

The old beggar nodded and asked, "what do you think?"

"What's the idea?" Chen Hui sighed helplessly and said: "now this kind of practice, the enthusiasm of the common people is not high, which is what you call hard work or not!"

At this time, it was obvious that they were eating a big pot of rice, including farming in the fields outside. After the civilians worked together and harvested the grain, it was distributed to the civilians by the capital, and the rest was owned by the capital.

The result of this is that the capital city is rich, but the civilians in the capital city are not rich. They have enough to eat and have little left.

The production and distribution of grain before the capital were all controlled by the wizard, but the original wizard in the capital was dead.

Chen Hui couldn't help but ask, "madam, do you know the grain production in the capital and the distribution to civilians?"

"Roughly." Jie nodded, and then told Chen Hui about the grain output of the capital city and the approximate number of people who were given it.

"That won't work!" Chen Hui once again said this sentence, saying: "if you want to increase the yield of grain, there are a series of problems, such as grain seeds, cattle and farm tools, but the root is in the common people, unified labor, unified harvest and unified distribution. This is eating a big pot of rice!"

After a meal, Chen Hui continued: "in this mode, there will be a problem. The common people do not work hard. They expand the gate and just manage the food. It can be imagined that the common people are not willing to work hard when farming."

In fact, Chen Hui discovered this problem when he wore nose rings on farm cattle.

However, Chen Hui just stayed near the field for a long time, but he didn't expect that the problem was so serious.

At this time, almost all the civilians went to build the gate to manage food. It can be seen that the problem is quite serious. The civilians usually work in the fields and are not willing to work hard at all!

"What do you mean, my lord?" Jie's insight is always limited by this era, and she doesn't understand Chen Hui's meaning.

"It's very simple. The existing fields in the capital are allocated to the civilians according to the population size!" Chen Hui said in a deep voice: "the cultivated land is still owned by the capital, but after it is allocated to the civilians, they will cultivate it by themselves. According to a certain proportion, they will hand over the grain produced by the exchange to the capital, and the rest will be owned by the civilians who cultivate the land!"

In fact, it's not an advanced model, but it's just a household contract.

However, in this era, it is sure to greatly enhance the enthusiasm of the civilian farming.

"Is that possible?" Asked the old beggar, pondering.

"It works!" Chen Hui said with a smile: "the world I live in was originally a big pot of rice, but later it was reformed in this way. This mode is called" production to households! "

"Since my Lord says it's feasible, it must be!" Jie immediately said, "it's just that we need to think carefully about how much grain we can hand over to the capital."

Chen Hui nodded silently and began to write and draw on the ground. It was just a simple math problem.

At this time, the grain yield per mu has something to do with the people's unwillingness to work hard. The grain yield per mu will certainly be improved after it is contracted to households.

However, Chen Hui did not predict how much output he would increase. Instead, he calculated according to the current yield per mu, and then calculated the grain consumption of the capital.

After all, the warriors in the capital are responsible for the protection of the capital. They don't need to go to the fields to work. All the food is distributed to the warriors by the capital.

After calculating, Chen Hui said, "half! If there are three people in a family, it should be allocated according to the number of them. When the land is handed in, 50% of the grain produced by each family should be handed over to the capital! "

50% is actually a very high proportion.

However, after calculating the amount of grain consumed by each family, Chen Hui found that 50% of the grain they were allowed to hand in was much more than the grain that the capital city now gave them.

The capital also needs to reserve food, in addition to the supply of warriors, but also to prepare for famine!

At present, 50% is the best choice.

It can not only arouse the enthusiasm of the common people in farming and labor, but also ensure that the grain collected by the capital is not only distributed to the warriors, but also has a surplus.

In fact, the grain handed over to the capital is already in the form of taxation.

Chen Hui pointed to the number he had calculated and explained it to Jie. Jie understood it immediately. After thinking for a while, Jie nodded and said, "my Lord, this method is really good. It will make the common people work harder."

"In addition, we support the common people to open up wasteland. For those who open up wasteland, there is no need to hand over grain to the capital in that year. In the second year, they will receive 20%, and in the third year, they will receive 50%!" Chen Hui added.
