Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 359
Outside Zhuangzi, Li Shan looked at the constant flow of people with some emotion. In fact, in this world, good intentions may not necessarily be rewarded, but good deeds are most likely to be rewarded.

After the autumn harvest, it was the Helou clan who first heard Li Shan’s personal guards mentioned that they took the initiative to send people to the brick factory to help. Later, they heard that Li Shan abandoned the county government office and lived in a post house, but first built a medical office. All the young and old came.

Li Shan glanced over, and there were hundreds of young and strong within sight, many of them were peasants who came back from Yanmen. Hearing that Li Shan went to the fields in person, he gathered a crowd to harvest them, and came here to thank them.

"Lang Jun!" He Lou Xingshu saw Li Shan with sharp eyes and waved from afar.

Li Shan got off his horse, walked over and smiled and looked at the old man beside He Lou Xingshu, "He Lou Gong is here too."

He Lou Shanzhu smiled and said, "Dai County has never seen such a grand scene for many years."

"you flatter me."

"It's definitely not an over-reputation." He Lou Shanzhu shook his head and said, "The Ming government implements a benevolent government, so it gathers the hearts of the people."

Several old men who gathered around saluted one after another, and praised them endlessly. These are local powerful families in Dai County.

He Lou Shanzhu introduced them one by one. Although Li Shan was a little impatient, he still accepted them patiently.

Ma Zhou watched coldly, and found that each old man was followed by one or two young people, obviously imitating He Lou's family and wanting to follow him with his children.

These families are somewhat powerful locally, but Daizhou is the gate of Hedong, and Yanmen in Dai County is also the gate of Daizhou. From Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang to Lu Chongmao, and then to Yuan Junzhang, there were few obstacles for Turks to enter and exit Yanmen. Looted too many times.

Therefore, these families are far from being compared with the aristocratic families in the true sense. Ma Zhou thought that although they were in decline, there were still some old relatives in the court. Only people with a benevolent background can vote.

Of course Li Shan also understands this truth. All ethnic groups send their children to accompany them, nominally to protect the Ming Palace, and one who has a lower figure keeps saying that he has never seen such parents, so he sends the youngest son to guard the door... But these are actually Expressing support for myself.

An old man said with a smile: "I heard that Mingfu likes noodles, and there happens to be freshly ground wheat flour in my next home..."

"No, no!" Li Shan laughed and said, "I can't afford it."

"Where do you dare to ask the Ming government to pay?"

He Loushanzhu stopped him with a smile, "The Ming government did it by itself, with three thousand people and dozens of villages, who wouldn't be grateful."

"In these days, there are many village names offering food, or chicken, or meat, or wheat flour, but the Ming government ordered that all be exchanged for grain and rice... I heard from my grandson that the Ming government has already lost a lot."

The old man was stunned for a moment, and bowed solemnly to Li Shan.

Li Shan laughed it off, what could be more important than this during the autumn harvest?
This is Li Shan's instinctive idea. If he can charge a little more, he will be able to eat more food in the future. In this era, in such a war-torn place, it may be a life.

Li Shan didn't get the attempt in return.

Of course, Ma Zhou doesn’t think so... The character design that was finally erected, it’s hard to be kind to dozens of villages and three thousand young adults. These can all come in handy!
Li Shanzhen wanted to spit on this guy... his heart is so dirty!
But Li Shan turned around and ordered Zhou Zhoulang, Fan Laosan, the young and strong who went to help in the brick factory, each of them would either be paid wages or grain... Continue to be kind!

A group of people entered Zhuangzi. It was a desolate place more than a month ago, with weeds everywhere and only three or four families, but now it is thriving. The red brick houses are neatly arranged, and the roads have been repaired and flattened.

The carriages and sidewalks are different, and there are special personnel in charge of directing them. Although there is a large flow of people, it seems to be only orderly.

He Lou Shanzhu squinted his eyes and thought carefully, seeing the big from the small... According to the news from the middle of Beijing, Li Huairen planned the Shandong war and was awarded a knighthood, and the saints favored the rescue of Princess Pingyang.

After turning around, the group stopped at a large mansion, which was the newly completed medical office. When they saw Li Shan, the guards at the door bowed and saluted, and the guards respectfully called them teachers.

Everyone sat down in the hall and chatted for a few words before leaving, but everyone's children stayed behind, and Li Shan handed over to He Lou Xingshu to take care of him.

"This kind of powerful family in the countryside seems to be in decline, but in fact they are deeply intertwined and want to rise again." Ma Zhou pointed out.

Li Shan nodded slightly, he knew what Ma Zhou meant.

The first two generations of the He Lou clan had world-renowned heroes. Today, the few selected by He Lou Shanzhu, although they have fallen, they still have some foundations.

In other words, in the past few years, Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang often attacked, the former even swept most of the east of the river, and the Turks often went south... But starting from this year, first Liu Heita of Hebei was awarded the leadership, and then Gao Manzheng raised Shuozhou to vote for the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Junzhang returned in a big defeat, Li and Tang ruled the world, and the situation against the Turks has become clear.

These influential families in Dai County intend to make progress... To put it bluntly, they want to use Li Shan, the celebrity in front of the saint, to achieve the purpose of their children becoming officials.

All powerful and powerful families in the world are like this. They are unwilling to do things that are not beneficial... This is related to the clan, not the will of one person.

Therefore, if there is no interest relationship, it is difficult for the relationship between these powerful clans and Li Shan to be truly harmonious... and it is impossible for Li Shan to use the land of Daixian to play any kind of democracy, and more or less rely on the power of these powerful clans .

Just like the previous Autumn Harvest, although Li Shan did it himself, it would be difficult to complete it without the help of the He Lou clan.

"Lang Jun."

"The pomegranate is here." Li Shan asked casually, "How is the placement?"

This person is a descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Ba's cousin Zhu Shiliu. Li Shan took the nickname of Pomegranate, and later entered the imperial medical office and was accused of being the head of the guards.

"Probably imitating the arrangement of the imperial medical office, the equipment is not complete, and it is still under construction, and it will be completed in about half a month." Zhu Shiliu replied respectfully: "The guards all live in the backyard."

Li Shan nodded and explained a few words. Once there is a war, these people will serve as first aid soldiers on the battlefield. There is a lot of demand for stretchers, which are not difficult to make but very useful.

Zhu Shiliu whispered, "The wound is washed..."

"It's okay." Li Shan shook his head.

Li Shan's eyes are dark, and it is very taboo to do business with outside the Great Wall... What do the grassland tribes, Yunzhou and Shuozhou need?
Ironware, medicinal materials, salt, and tea are urgently needed.

But these are all goods that are expressly prohibited from being exported, and even if they are smuggled in small batches, the profits are not high.

But there is one thing that is lucrative enough and can be exported, and that is spirits.

This was also one of the reasons why he wanted to trust Li Shimin. If he wanted to brew wine here, he had to deal with the relationship with the Jingzhao Du family. Du Yan, an old man, had no better status in the clan than Du Ruhui.

Although Li Yuan issued a ban on alcohol a few months ago, it actually had little effect on the one hand, and on the other hand, the main areas are Guannei Road and Jingzhao, and the east side has little impact... But Li Shan's letter to Li Yuan mentioned to this matter.

Li Shan's eyes fell outside the door, and He Lou Xingshu was talking to the children of those powerful clans... interests are connected, I can't promise an official career now, but money can achieve a similar effect.

Don't think that these powerful families don't value merchants and don't like money... Although they hope that their children can find a position in the court, the rich money rewards are enough for Li Shan to control them.

　In fact, it has been closed for more than half a month, but before I could order takeaway and work from home, now the takeaway staff are not allowed to go to the street, and the businesses are basically closed... It is said that it will not be unblocked until the tenth, and there is still more than a week.
