Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 928;

Chapter 880;

In 632 AD, at the end of the spring of the sixth year of Zhenguan.

People around Lantian County all went out to watch the excitement.

The founder of the county, Li Yu, the patriarch of the Li family's Erfang family in Lantian Longxi, went to Lingnan to serve as the head of a county.

This year, Li Yu was 19 years old, and with Li Zhi, who was under four years old, and the Li veteran family from Longxi, five to six thousand people, they left Lantian and went to Lingnan.

Except for more than 1000 people who stayed behind as guards, the clan members of Li's second house in Lantian County all moved with the family and lived in Lingnan with the head of the clan.

Isn't this lively?
On the official road, there are only tens of miles of continuous teams.

"Hey Sanlang, I don't usually think how many people there are in Li's Second Household, why there are so many of them all of a sudden, it looks powerful and scary!"

"It's rare for you. You don't feel it when a dozen or so members of your family usually stay at home, but when you go out to go to the market, isn't it also a large group of people with their families?"

"That's true."

"It's for sure. In Pingsili, they are all nested in the four big villages around them. Now that they are all moved out suddenly, it seems that there are a lot of people."

"Yeah, yeah, you guys don't know, I, Aye, delivered vegetables to their village, and I know it better. It was said that there were 3 to 5 people in the first place. Later, Longxi heard that there was a new house here. , people who came here two or three times, I’m afraid there will be a population of [-] to [-] now.”

"Nonsense, how can you say so much?"

"Hey, people can't have children anymore? You just plan on the adults, and don't you see the piles of kids in this team?"

"Really, there are too many children in their Li family, right?"

The team of Li's Second Household walked the official road, with people watching the excitement on both sides.

The crowd said everything, and an old man in his 60s was seeing the village elder next to him...

"Did you see it? This is because there are too many people, who dares to bully others?"

"That is, the more people there are, the more powerful they are. The only thing left to do is to bully others, such as the clansmen of Li's Second Household. Who dares to provoke them? If they don't bully others, it's because the heavens have eyes."

"You bastards are not stupid. Of course, there are many benefits if you have more people. Even the imperial court needs a lot of sons to beat those prairie people. No one is all nonsense."

"Isn't that right, San ah, what you said is right."

"That's right, it makes sense."

"What's more, think about it, if you have a dick, you can get the corresponding fields. Now, with the cultivation method of the father-in-law and the high-yield cultivation of grain, the output of every household is several times higher than before.

So now the land is more valuable, and if you want more land, you have to follow the rules of the court.

When you become a man, you will receive the land allocated by the county. Whoever has a large family can get more fields. If you don’t have a population, it’s nothing. The more children you have, the more profitable you will be in the future. "

"That's that."

"It's like I'm five now, and within ten years, I will be able to receive hundreds of acres of land. Just imagine it and I feel very at ease."

"That's right, the hundreds of acres of land at home will never worry about being hungry. Who would dare to imagine before? That's the landlord."

"Yeah, smart people know that it is important to have children. The patriarch of the Li family is very smart. In the Longxi and this side of the family, regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, they will be rewarded with five guan coins.
I heard that there are cloths and food and so on. In a word, if you stay in the Li family, you can accumulate a lot of wealth just by having children. "

"My God, give birth to one child? Are these things you said... true or false?"

"When did the old man tell a lie?"

"Oh my God! Give me five guan for one child, like my family gave birth to seven children, you have to give me a lot of money?"

"How much is a lot? Old Ba, can you count?"

"Hahahahahahahahaha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Old Ba can eat, will he count as a request?"

"Drive, drive!"

"Look, this is the imperial army of the Li family's Lin family!"

"Brother, where did you see that?"

"Didn't you see that they are all wearing red scarves around their necks? This is the imperial army of the Lin family, very powerful."

Li's second room dispatched troops, all in groups of seven, no matter what they were doing, seven people started as a team, this is the habit and rule of the millennium.

A group of seven people rode horses and galloped all the way to the front.

"Report!"

"Report to the patriarch, all the troops are on the road."

Li Yu, who was riding a horse, swayed unhurriedly, turned his horse's head and stopped close to the side of the road.

"Oh, I see."

Looking at the mighty dragon and snake team, Li Yu was very satisfied. From the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, he liked three things, population, land, and finally money!

No matter when you leave the population, everything is a joke, so since then, he has issued a patriarchal decree, whether you have a child, regardless of gender, from birth to death, you will take care of the basic expenses for you, so that you can live a bold life without worry. Carefree life.

although
"Tell Master Lin, arrange more manpower, and be more rigorous in patrolling back and forth. There are tens of thousands of old people and children, and they need to be taken care of properly."

"only!"

As soon as Li Yu stopped, many people stopped and stood by the side of the road. There were guards and stewards who waited on them. Most noble women in the Tang Dynasty could ride horses. The chief steward of the inner house, Mrs. Liu, followed on horseback with three personal maids. The patriarch did not take the car.

Li Yu turned to look at Lady Liu;
"My lady arranged it properly, I am very satisfied."

"Thank you Mr. Lang for your compliment."

"What about the Gongshu family?"

"If I go back to my husband, I will leave early. I am thinking about it. We have a family with a family, and there are so many animals, old people and children. I am afraid that we will not be able to go out for half a year, so we arrange for the public to lose the family and go to battle lightly. Let's build the city first, this is also discussed with the head of the surname 21."

"Very good, very good. This time I deliberately did not interfere in anything, just to see everyone's reaction. I am very satisfied with the response of you and the parents."

"Oh, by the way, only Gongshu's family will go first?"

"How can it be? Sir, I have arranged for three thousand strong clansmen to go with me. Once I go there, I can start the kiln. If the site is selected, the work can start."

"Well, [-] craftsmen are not too small, but for a family with a large population like ours, it is still somewhat lacking."

"Yes, what the gentleman said is that the concubine will consider these things. After the public losers go to settle down, there will be insufficient manpower. Let's arrange some more."

"Fortunately, there are enough horses in our family, which saves us a lot of worry."

"Well, you can figure it out. I have another matter to arrange here."

"Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Northern people don't know water, so they are not as good as southerners when it comes to shipbuilding. Along the way, you can ask about shipbuilders everywhere, and take them to Lingnan. The more the better, the higher the price, I will be of great use."

"Wei! I remember it."

The conversation between the two caught the attention of Xichun next to him;

"Do you want to go out to sea, sir?"

"That's right, my wife's guess is true."

"Lang Jun is really good. He even plays differently from others. He plays really well."

Li Yu scratched Xichun's little nose.

"Hahaha, you're right, this time the game is very, very big, unprecedentedly big, I want to build a very big building boat, take thousands of tribesmen to the sea together, and have fun if you want to play, it's called People all over the world envy, envy and hate."

Xichun's eyes are full of love and pride, this is her man, this is her wishful husband;
"Admiration, Mr. Lang is really a strange man."

Li Yu and Xi Chun were talking, and Tan Chun yawned beside him and answered;
"Fortunately, with what you did in the past, buying a large number of livestock and horses, we don't lack the strength to travel today. Speaking of these, you are the greatest strength of your husband."

Li Yu turned his head to look at Tanchun in a daze;
"Did you become a thief last night? Why did you fall asleep like this again? Where did this come from? Suddenly such a sentence popped up?"

Tanchun yawned twice while talking;

"Oh, sir, I don't know. Last night, I played mahjong with Mrs. Liu, Overlord, and Liang Jianshi. Oh, my mother, I was trapped to death. Don't talk, don't talk. , I have to get into the carriage and go to sleep, sir, I will go first."

"Go, go, God, look at how trapped you are. Poor thing, I made you a fool by making mahjong, and I find someone to join the game every day."

Facing the funny appearance of Li's second-bedroom villain, many people suppressed their smiles and lowered their heads.

This lord can't say anything, can't scold her, and if it makes her unhappy, she can keep pestering you for days, anyway, she doesn't have to do any work, she's just an idler.

Li Yu watched Tanchun being rocked by two maids to find her carriage, and shook his head dumbfounded.

"This kind of life is indeed happy and carefree."

After listening to Li Yu's summary, Xichun covered her mouth and snickered, and Lady Liu answered with a smile;
"Can you be unhappy, sir? Whatever you want, do whatever you want. Apart from eating and drinking, you just have fun. It's like a fairy's life. Maybe even the gods are not as happy as her."

"That's right, the gods still have catastrophes, but she's a fart. Who dares to provoke her? If she doesn't make trouble for others, it's God's eyes. Let's go, the important thing is to hurry."

"It's Mr. Lang."

"drive."

The journey was uneventful, Li Yu led a team of tens of thousands of people, dragged his family and his family, and traveled forty miles a day, and had to stop and hide when it rained. Seven months and ten days, when we arrived in Minzhou, the land of Baiyue, it was already mid-November.

Minzhou was first called Ye in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Although it was considered a land ruled by the Qin Dynasty, it only had the name of surrendering to Qin, and it had actually been in a state of self-government.

After the fall of the Yue Kingdom, the domestic nobles fled and merged with the ancient Min people in Yezhou, so it is often called the Minyue area, or Minzhou, or Baiyue, and it was renamed Fuzhou in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. It will still be called Minzhou for a while, and Li Yu's county is here. Speaking of it, it is a county, but in fact the territory is very large, almost including the entire Fujian Province.

That's why Li Yu's name is the princess, but he can actually be regarded as the governor of one of the princes.

In more than seven months, Li Yu sent a total of more than 6000 clansmen, led by the Gongshu family, to build the city. By the time Li Yu arrived, the Minzhou county had begun to take shape.

On this day, Li Yu took all his clansmen to the outside of Minzhou City, and set up camp on the open space selected by the Gongshu family in advance. When they finally arrived at their destination, everyone cheered.

In the early morning of the next day, after Li Yu had breakfast, he received the elders of Gongshu.

"Lang Jun is finally here, and this time I can feel at ease."

"Everyone said this, whether I come or not is the best arrangement for you, and I don't know how to work, so I still count on you."

The eldest son of Gongshuban said with a smile;

"That's different. When the lord comes, everyone has the backbone. How to build it, and you can ask for advice at any time. If the lord doesn't come, I don't know how to proceed. I don't have a bottom line in my heart, so it's not easy to mess around .”

"As I said a long time ago, you are in charge of the hosting, you have the final say, don't worry too much."

The patriarch of the public loser nodded, with a smile all over his face. It was entirely up to the public loser to decide. This has never happened in the past thousand years, and it is also the happiest thing for the public loser who is good at building.

"If Mr. Lang is free today, how about we go out and see the new county together?"

"good."

"My lord, please."

"Gongshuo, please, everyone, please."

"Your Majesty, please."

"it is good."

Accompanied by a large group of stewards who are public losers, Li Yu started along the north gate of the new county and inspected the entire county.

Everyone was walking instead of riding a horse. Li Yu walked around casually along the way, and the second son of Gongshu Ban was in charge of explaining.

"Look, sir, according to your order, the size we should build is 36 miles from north to south, and 72 miles from east to west, but the three provinces and six ministries are full of quarrels, saying that the county city is bigger than Chang'an city, not because of the ministers. Yes, it is really helpless and ruthless."

"It's normal. I guessed it would happen a long time ago. You should have concealed a lot of things. For example, someone should say that I want to rebel or something?"

"Uh, it didn't reach such a serious level, but there were indeed people who made insinuations like this. I heard that they were scolded by those generals at the court meeting, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense afterwards."

With his hands behind his back, Li Yu leisurely circled the city wall to watch.

"I don't dare to say rebellion, but I will still stop it. It should not exceed the size of Chang'an City. I don't know if my guess is right?"

"That's right. In the end, the standard given by the imperial court was that it was smaller than the Great Wall and nine neighborhoods. So we can only build according to this size."

Li Yu walked forward with a smile, joking with the elders of Gongshu:
"If we propose to build a county of such a size, there will be quarrels in the court. It is definitely not allowed, so I simply put forward those requests, just waiting for the court to make us a size that they are satisfied with, so that no one will be too many. said."

The old man Gongshu also stroked his beard and laughed loudly:
"That's right, everything can't be escaped from my husband's guess, and they really did. I know that I didn't live here when I built the city, so I chose another good place thirteen miles north of the city.

The combination of mountains and rivers, surrounded by dragons and tigers, the tall Xuanwu as the backing, and the new county as a case in the distance..."
