Chapter 81 The peak of prosperity! The ancients admired!
The last paragraph of content appeared on the sky curtain.

Sure enough, it is similar to the estimates of ancient people.

Because not only in modern times, but also in ancient times, China was a major agricultural country.

The Chinese rulers of all dynasties were able to basically determine that their country's total grain output was absolutely very high.

Much higher than those barbaric countries around us!

However, due to the large population of China, the pressure on food has always been very great.

Now when I see the grain production of China in later generations, I can only say that I am envious.

Of course, while I am envious, I am also very curious.

When Ying Zheng heard that the grain yield per mu in later generations exceeded 400 kilograms.

It's even harder to believe my ears!

"I really don't know why the per-acre yield in later generations is so high."

"Is it really the God of Agriculture who has come down to earth?"

But the real data is here, and we have to believe it.

So Ying Zheng could only silently hope that God would display more content about agricultural production on the sky.

It would be best if our own Qin could emulate and learn from it.

But Ying Zheng also knew.

There is still a big gap between the current Qin Dynasty and the world in the future after thousands of years of development.

Even if there are many things in front of you, you may not be able to learn them all!

Do you want to lead the Qin Dynasty to reach the level of development of later generations?
After much thought, Ying Zheng came up with only one solution.

"Let's look at Xu Fu in the distance!"

"I heard that he has been studying the sky curtain in recent days and has achieved a lot of results. Maybe... he can really make me the elixir of immortality?"

……

same.

Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, also wanted to obtain information from the sky that would allow all the people in the world to have enough food to eat and create an extremely prosperous era!

But Liu Heng also knew.

If I were to study directly from future generations thousands of years later, I probably wouldn't be able to learn it.

So what Liu Heng hoped was to see how other prosperous dynasties in history did it.

And it seemed to be responding to Liu Heng's expectations.

Sure enough, something similar appeared on the sky curtain.

[The peak of the feudal heyday? ]

[How prosperous was the Kaiyuan Era? ]

Outside the sky.

Upon seeing the title on the sky curtain, many emperors seemed somewhat eager.

The emperors after the Tang Dynasty naturally knew what a glorious era the Kaiyuan Period was.

Seeing the story of the Kaiyuan Prosperity being told on the screen, I was envious, and at the same time hoped that the era I created could also be recorded on the screen in the name of the Prosperity.

And the ancient people before the Tang Dynasty.

I saw on the sky curtain that the Kaiyuan Era was not just a simple prosperous era.

It was even the peak of the entire feudal dynasty!
I am jealous but also curious.

What kind of dynasty was it?
Only then can it be worthy of such high praise from Tianmu?

Especially Liu Che, who had millions of assets in the national treasury and was full of confidence and prepared to further continue the all-out war against the Huns.

In fact, I am very dissatisfied.

Liu Che said: "There is too much money in the treasury of the Han Dynasty, so much money will rot if it is left there."

"There is so much rice that it is overflowing from the granary and is being wasted."

"We have 500,000 armored soldiers and 100,000 cavalry!"

"Such a powerful era! Can it not be called the peak of the feudal dynasty?"

"Okay, I admit that future Chinese rulers may be able to do better than I do!"

"But I still want to compare and see whether this so-called Kaiyuan Prosperity can really surpass our Han Dynasty!" Under Liu Che's gaze.

The sky curtain begins to play, introducing to everyone what the Kaiyuan Prosperity is?
[History textbooks once told us that the Kaiyuan Era was one of the most prosperous periods in the feudal dynasty.]

【Let us begin with a line from Du Fu’s poem. 】

【Recalling the heyday of the Kaiyuan era, even small towns still housed tens of thousands of households. Rice was fat and corn was white, and both public and private granaries were full.】

[The Kaiyuan Prosperity was not just an ordinary prosperous era. 】

[It is even called the only truly prosperous era in ancient Chinese history! ]

【The real thing, not just hype. 】

[Let us see how powerful the Kaiyuan Era was! ]

【First, let’s look at agriculture, which represents the most basic stability of a country. 】

[During the Kaiyuan Prosperity, the per capita arable land area reached a maximum of nine mu! ]

[This number is even eight times the average amount of cultivated land in modern China.]

[Even taking population growth into account.]

[However, under the development capabilities of ancient times, nine mu of arable land per capita was already an extremely exaggerated number that could ensure a comfortable life for a family.]

[Of course, some friends may ask, what’s the point of having more per capita? ]

[My assets, Lao Ma, Xiao Ma and I are worth hundreds of billions! ]

[Although there is a lot of arable land, it is all occupied by those aristocratic families. ]

[But the fact is, even if we don’t count the lands occupied by the aristocratic families. ]

[During the Kaiyuan period, an ordinary citizen could get about 1.6 mu of land.]

[With a large per capita arable land area, the Tang Dynasty also promoted rice cultivation on a large scale. 】

[During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, rice cultivation advanced from the south to the north. ]

[Under Li Longji's vigorous promotion, rice was first cultivated in Henan, and then in Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and other places.]

【Greatly increased the grain production of the Tang Dynasty. 】

【Even the people in the north at that time fell in love with eating rice.】

【Coupled with the development of agricultural technology, this has further promoted the increase in grain production. 】

[During the Kaiyuan period, a dou of rice cost only a dozen coins, which was very cheap.]

【Food is no longer valuable, so we have to eat meat.】

[Even ordinary people at the bottom of society can have a meal of meat every now and then! ]

[This is much better than some so-called prosperous times in later generations, where the people were barely fed and not starving to death.]

[With sufficient agricultural production capacity, a large number of people were also liberated from the land. ]

[Especially in the Jiangnan area, commerce and handicrafts are very developed. ]

【It has promoted the progress of the production system of the whole society. 】

【There is a large amount of circulation of various commodities in the whole society, with low prices and sufficient supply. 】

【This was unprecedented in the feudal era.】

[With more arable land, people are more well fed and have more daily necessities. ]

【The population is also soaring. 】

[Plus, the central government’s control over local governments and aristocratic families has increased.]

[During the entire Kaiyuan period, the population increased from less than 7 million households when Li Longji ascended the throne to more than 13 million households, nearly doubling! ]

[According to statistics, the world's population at that time was only over 200 million.]

[In the Tang Dynasty alone, the population reached 70 million, a terrifying proportion. ]

[The key is that with so many people, there was no serious Malthusian trap! This further highlights the value of the Kaiyuan Prosperity. ]

When I saw this.

Those ancient people who still had doubts about the Kaiyuan Prosperity are basically convinced.
