Chapter 277 The potatoes are cooked! The potatoes are cooked!
"Su Yu! Su Yu! The potatoes are cooked, cooked!"
As soon as Lao Zhao entered the door, he ran towards Su Yu with a look of ecstasy.
"You can slow down and be careful of falling." Su Yu said with a smile.
Although he looked calm on the surface, Su Yu was equally happy in his heart.
He had waited too long for the second batch of potatoes to ripen.
After all, his tavern has been renovated a long time ago, just waiting for the potatoes to mature and the people to have some extra money before opening it.
Not only Lao Zhao, Meng Yi Li Si and others behind him were also full of spring breeze at this time.
It can be seen that this output is absolutely satisfying to them.
Without waiting for Su Yu to ask, Lao Zhao trotted all the way over and started talking to Su Yu about the victory like a family treasure.
"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 reported yield per mu, the average yield per mu is more than 8,000 catties."
"That's 480,000 catties!
"Forty million stone potatoes!"
Lao Zhao 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, the people of Daqin can't just eat potatoes, and the people of other counties can't but work.
But at least, add the food grown in the rest of the Daqin counties and some hunting income.
Even a significant portion of these potatoes are turned over to the state treasury.
But this is enough to make all the people of Daqin have enough to eat!
Su Yu said with a smile on his face: "I just reached the passing level, so I'm happy for you.
"Can I be unhappy!" Lao Zhao was not hit by Su Yu this time, and continued to say excitedly:
"Now that so many potatoes are ripe, the people are extremely prosperous.""
"Excluding what you eat and turn over to the state treasury, you can still have more than 60% left. 95
"I have ordered the various counties to dispatch merchants to purchase these 625 million stone potatoes.
"Potatoes can be eaten much more than millet, and the price of one dollar per buck is not too much?"
"Twenty-five million stones is twenty-five million buckets, more than twenty-five million dollars! 35
Lao Zhao kept shaking Su Yu's shoulders, the ecstasy on his face could not be restrained.
Listening to Lao Zhao's reluctance to listen and reporting data here, Su Yu felt a big headache.
He still can't get used to the unit Wanwan, and it seems that it's time to instill in Lao Zhao.
No wonder Lao Zhao 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 tax increase of more than 100 yuan per household, with a total of 30 million yuan, is also a good thing for the national treasury.
Although it is said that 30 million yuan is slightly thin in the total amount of the national treasury.
...... ask for flowers... 0
But don't forget, this is just the business tax income of 200,000 households.
The income from planting is not counted.
Moreover, once the scale is expanded, how much is the tax for 2 million households? How much is the tax for more than 8 million households in Daqin?
And in addition to this, there is also the business taxation of businessmen.
This time, more than 4,000 merchants were dispatched from the five counties around Xianyang to buy potatoes.
25,000,000 shi of potatoes, even if they sell them at a profit of 1 penny per bucket, after all expenses are removed, there will be 20 million yuan left.
And 40% of Daqin's business taxation means that these 4,000 people will provide a total of 5 million in taxes.
..0
Although it looks a little less.
But after conversion, we can see that the tax contribution of each businessman is equivalent to nine times that of each household.
Moreover, Su Yu did not count the secondary profit of these potatoes.
For example, it is bought by other traders, reprocessed and sold at a high price, etc.
All these things are added together, but it is not as simple as simple data.
This will represent the prosperity of the people around Xianyang City, 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, Su Yu already felt that his head was not enough.
All in all, this is a great thing.
But seeing Lao Zhao happy, Su Yu had to warn him again.
After all, the immediate benefits of such potatoes are indeed enviable.
But doing this all the time is not a good thing!
ps: Qin Dynasty has ten liters per bucket, and one liter is equivalent to 200ml in modern times, that is, one bucket
The number of potatoes reserved for seedlings in the second year does not need to be very large, which is ignored here.
