Oh my god, can you play like this?

Chapter 192 You want all the people in Dongshun to grow high-yield grains

After Li Beichen returned to the palace in the imperial carriage, he immediately drove back to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion using his Qinggong skills.

At this time, Gu Lanzhi had just fooled that little guy Gu Jingcheng away.

Looking at Li Beichen who was walking quickly in front of him, Gu Lanzhi said with a smile: "You are really fast!"

Li Beichen helped Gu Lanzhi sit down, and said with a gentle smile: "I am worried about you being alone."

"How can I be alone? Aren't Mo Yi and the others serving me?"

"That's different. They are them and I am me."

Gu Lanzhi curled his lips, knowing that Li Beichen was worried about him, but he didn't say anything else. He felt a little sweet in his heart.

"Lanzhi, I will announce at the court tomorrow morning that our wedding will be in five days." Li Beichen stared at Gu Lanzhi with sparkling eyes.

He was still afraid that Gu Lanzhi would go back on her word. Even after the imperial decree to crown her as queen, Li Beichen was still worried.

He knew very well that Gu Lanzhi would not be bound by these rules. If Gu Lanzhi really didn't want to get married, no one could force him, including Li Beichen.

Gu Lanzhi just thought that Li Beichen was in such a hurry to get married because of the baby in his belly, so he nodded without refutation.

After all, the royal bloodline cannot be confused in the slightest. The most important thing is to get married sooner so that the child in his belly can be legitimate.

Seeing Gu Lanzhi nod without hesitation, Li Beichen felt a little relieved, but only a little. Without the real wedding, Li Beichen could not be truly at ease.

Li Beichen took Gu Lanzhi's hand, placed it to his lips, and kissed the back of Gu Lanzhi's hand.

"Lanzhi, you are pregnant now. When you are further along in your pregnancy, you will definitely have many inconveniences in your life.

I was thinking, should we renovate our bedroom to look like the one you used to live in?"

Gu Lanzhi looked at Li Beichen in confusion, "The way I used to live? What does that mean?"

"It's the kind that has a toilet, bathroom, and air conditioning, and it's much more convenient for you to use."

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seemed that Li Beichen knew a lot about his previous world after having the subsystem!

Gu Lanzhi also wants to have a convenient life, but those things are too far beyond this era, and people in this world don’t understand those things. They don’t even know how to install them, let alone modify them.

"I just want to know how to do it, but no one knows how to do it." Gu Lanzhi said helplessly.

"I see there are robots for sale on the StarCraft page of the mall. We can buy a construction robot, and that will solve the problem, right?"

After hearing what Li Beichen said, Gu Lan subconsciously looked in the direction of the large screen showing the amount of system coins, and then looked at Li Beichen with disappointment.

"Obviously, we don't have enough system coins to buy robots, let alone buy decoration materials."

Seeing that Gu Lanzhi agreed, Li Beichen smiled and held Gu Lanzhi on his lap and said, "Can't we sell things to the audience in the live broadcast room?

I have learned that people of your time like things that are pure natural and pollution-free. We can send people to various villages to collect some mountain products and so on. This is equivalent to giving the people a channel to make money.

People in the interstellar plane are even more lacking in natural food, so we can sell it to them!

There are also Shu brocade, Yun brocade, and various hand-sewn clothes and shoes. I heard that these things are very expensive in your place."

Gu Lanzhi nodded. This was a good idea.

"In fact, in addition to wanting to find you a convenient place to live, I also want to buy a large amount of high-yield grain seeds from the mall."

"You want the people of Dongshun to grow high-yield crops so that everyone can have enough to eat?"

Li Beichen nodded seriously, "The grain we grow here only yields 200 to 300 kilograms per mu of land, which is far less than the yield in your era.

Moreover, the people still have to pay grain tax. Although I have reduced the grain tax to 30% after I ascended the throne, the people will not starve as before.

But once the war breaks out again, if the national treasury does not have enough grain stored, how can we fight the war?

I also asked the audience in the live broadcast room about the planting methods in your time. They said that you can plant rice twice a year.

If that were really possible, not only would the people be able to eat their fill, they would also have surplus food to sell to the court. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Gu Lanzhi nodded in agreement, and Li Beichen continued, "I am also planning to change the commercial tax recently."

Gu Lanzhi raised his eyebrows again in surprise, "Tell me in detail."

“The commercial tax in Dongshun is fixed. No matter how big or small your business is, the tax is the same.

For merchants with small business, the business taxes they pay almost account for half of their income, but for those merchants with large business, they don't care about these taxes at all.

This is not right, so I plan to set business taxes according to the proportion of their income. The more they earn, the more they pay, and the less they earn, the less they pay.

If their income doesn’t meet the minimum threshold, then they don’t have to pay tax.”

Gu Lanzhi smiled, glanced at the live broadcast room, and then returned his gaze to Li Beichen's face, "Did the audience in the live broadcast room tell you this?"

Li Beichen also smiled and glanced at the live broadcast room, then nodded to Gu Lanzhi.

“They told me that if you want the people to get rich, the economy must have a good cycle.

If the common people don’t have money, they can’t consume or buy the things they need. Even if the things are manufactured and placed there, no one will buy them.

If no one buys things, how can the economy function? How can the country become rich? "
