Chapter 280 Su He gave Wang Xiaohu a new suggestion
Su He also suggested to Wang Xiaohu that they could ask the villagers outside the city to raise more chickens and rabbits so that they could be used as food reserves. With more meat and eggs, people would naturally eat less food, which in turn would increase food production.
Chickens can eat earthworms, bugs and weeds, while rabbits only eat grass. They are easy to keep. It would be great if the villagers could raise more chickens and rabbits in the mountains so that they can eat them and sell them for money.
When there are more of these, people in the city can also eat cheap meat and eggs, which will solve the big problem. After a few years, when the fruit trees in the city are ripe, there will be more fruit to eat, which will save food.
In this way, the food saved by everyone can be used to supply the army, and the food and grass problem will be solved. The general can lead the soldiers to better defend the border town, and the people can live and work in peace.
Idle people in the city can make money by digging a moat outside the outermost city, so that they can defend against foreign enemies when they come. When there are no enemies, they can raise fish and shrimps, which can be sold for money.
As long as the money in the whole city is circulating well, there is no need to worry that the general will be short of money. All businesses require paying taxes.
The three of them thought about the feasibility of these suggestions together, and Wang Xiaohu finally thought that they were a good idea. As long as everyone had money, they could repair their houses and buy and sell food, which could feed many people.
Why do people in Beijing have such a good life? Isn't it because business is good and there are many rich people? The rich are willing to spend money, so the people below can make money, and in this way, everyone can make money.
What they can do now is to boost the business in the city. After the villagers sell meat and eggs, how can they not buy clothes and cloth? This will be spent again. The shops in the city can also make more money, so they can buy more meat and eggs.
Su He thought that if everyone was well, the environment in the city would be better. Su He also thought that if everyone had the leisure to go out for tea and meals, his family's business would be prosperous.
Thinking back to the old days, a roast duck restaurant could be passed down for several generations, with branches opened everywhere, not to mention the money they made.
In general, the whole nation needs to be prosperous. In some of the past, there was only one store in every village, which only sold a few kinds of goods. Every household was short of food and clothing, and everything was in short supply at that time.
When I wore it, the economy was developing rapidly. Everyone had enough food and clothing. Everyone had a lot of clothes. Stores and restaurants were everywhere. Many people are looking for ways to lose weight, not because they don't eat enough, but because they eat too much.
Su He hopes that everyone here can have enough to eat and not go hungry, and that grain production and income can increase.
She thought of a method for seed selection and breeding, and wrote it down when she got back. She gave it to Zhuangzi to try first, and if it worked, she would tell Wang Xiaohu. She found that knowing Wang Xiaohu was her greatest luck, and many things could be easily solved.
He never asked so many questions, and would just do what they gave him, without being suspicious of them. This made the Su family feel relieved, and they were particularly willing to trust him.
Wang Xiaohu has been following the general for such a long time, and he knows that there are many masters in this world who are not comparable to ordinary people. There are also many people who are born smart and can know things that others don't. As an ordinary person, he can only envy them. God didn't give him this talent, and he was lucky to know such people.
Their old general knew a great monk who had once told the Wang family that their luck was in Fenggu City and that they could not go anywhere else. Later, their family was stationed here all year round. Every time they returned to Beijing to report, they were not lucky, and every time someone would give them a hard time.
If it weren't for the Wang family's loyalty, and the emperor couldn't find a more reliable general, I really don't know what would have happened. As a family son, Wang Xiaohu has always been by the general's side, and he regards the general's family as his own.
