Li Shimin

Chapter 228 Take Their Tickets

The [-] mu of wasteland that Chu Suiliang and Li Chang bought was completely black after being burned by the fire.

At the same time, the straight ridges cut the barren land into pieces.

In some barren fields, the direct flow of the Ju River has been introduced. The water quality is so clear that you can directly see the soil under the fields.

On the side, Li Chang, the old housekeeper, hurriedly cupped his hands to Li Xuan and replied: "My lord, there are a total of [-] acres of wasteland, and they have all been converted into rice fields. As long as the tenant farmers plant all the rice fields with seedlings, the [-] acres of rice fields will be transformed into rice fields. , it will be a good harvest again!"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Housekeeper, have you bought the fry?"

"fry?"

Li Chang was taken aback.

"It's Xiao Yuzi!" Li Xuan said.

"My lord, the villain knows it, but I don't know why the king wants these little fish eggs?"

Li Chang asked cautiously.

"There is so much water in these rice fields, put more small fish roe and raise them. When the rice matures, the fish in the rice fields will grow fat and be ready to eat!"

"My lord, I'm afraid the little fish will eat the rice seedlings!"

Li Chang said quickly.

"will not!"

Li Xuan smiled softly, "Last year, in the rice fields near the Juhe River in the village, the king asked the villagers to raise fish, including grass carp and carp, but none of the fish would eat the rice seedlings! "

"So, don't worry, my lord, the villain will arrange people to bring water into these rice fields."

Li Chang was overjoyed, his face was wrinkled, "I don't know what kind of fish Your Majesty wants to raise?"

"Grass carp is easy to feed, but there are too many fish bones. Crucian carp, loach and catfish, these meaty fish or fish with few bones, can be raised!"

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan said slowly.

Li Chang nodded repeatedly.

"Little man understands!"

"In addition, there are more carp in the Ju River, so you can also raise some carp!"

Li Xuan said again.

"My lord, we don't eat carp in Tang Dynasty!"

Li Chang's expression changed slightly, and he said hastily.

"Carp is adaptable, meaty, delicious, and easy to raise. Why don't you eat such an easy-to-raise fish?" Li Xuan asked.

"My lord, because the country's surname is Li, no one in the Tang Dynasty eats carp!"

Li Chang quickly explained.

On the other hand, Li Chengqian had a strange expression on his face.

He still remembers the last time he went fishing with his wife in the river, and was coaxed to bring back the big carp to the palace.

Although, in the end Aye also ate.

However, because of this matter, he was laughed at by Aye and A Niang for several months.

"The royal surname is Li, what does it have to do with carp?"

Li Xuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Could it be that your Majesty will not let the common people eat fish just because of one surname?"

"By the way, has His Majesty issued an edict on this matter?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not yet issued an edict!" Li Chang replied.

"That's fine, then raise more carp!"

Li Xuan was overjoyed and said directly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang could only answer helplessly.

"Don't worry, after the carp grows up, I will personally cook a pot of carp soup for the Supreme Emperor and Gao Ming!"

Li Xuan said with a smile.

Forehead!
Now, Cheng Chusi and the others who were watching the excitement behind were full of shock.

Li Chang just stood there in a daze, and the king actually wanted to eat carp for the Supreme Emperor?
I couldn't help thinking about whether I should obey the king's order and raise carp in the rice fields.

"By the way, steward, I saw the chicken pen and duck pen, and the hog pen is almost finished. Take it with you and find some chickens, ducks, and hogs."

Li Xuan thought Li Chang was still waiting for his order, so he continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Now, what Li Xuan said, Li Chang quickly responded.

I was afraid that if he said one more sentence, the king would think of something that made him shudder.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and Li Chang quickly ran into the city.

Chickens and ducks, hogs and small fry are all easy to find, but Li Xuan needs a lot of them, so it takes a little more effort.

However, these are little things.

You can buy as much as you want with some copper coins.

Afterwards, Li Xuan wandered around the foundation of the other courtyard.

Thousands of people work very fast.

The basement requested by Li Xuan has already been built.

There are already a few Zi people, with a group of hard laborers, who are starting to build houses.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen the King!"

When Sun Nian, the general supervisor, saw Li Xuan, he immediately cupped his hands and saluted.

"It's been hard work for the general!"

Li Xuan returned the gift slightly, his eyes still looking around.

"Let's leave all the secret drainage channels in the other courtyard!"

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, there are secret drainage channels under every house."

Gongsun Nian hastily cupped his hands.

Hearing this, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, they were ready to go back.

If he stays here, he is not only getting in the way, but getting in the way.

The craftsmen and laborers who will be the supervisor will not give birth to any thoughts of cutting corners.As for stealing, raping and playing tricks, let alone Li Xuanguan.

He only needs to inform Gongsun Nian of his request, and finally move in in front of him.

As for the quality of the house, don't worry about it at all.

In this era, building houses for princes and nobles is not only a lifetime responsibility system, but may also be the responsibility of several generations.

Wait until Li Xuan and the others leave the construction site.

From a distance, I saw that someone was already digging ditches at the rice fields to fill the rice fields with water.

the next day.

Li Chang took several carts of chickens, ducks, and hogs, and several carts of small fish roe, and put hundreds of small fish roe in each paddy field.

As for how many pieces will grow up in the end, Li Xuan doesn't care.

Anyway, he has already done everything he can do.

Now, chicken pens, duck pens, pig pens, and paddy fields in Lijiazhuang have all begun to be raised.

Lijiazhuang began to slowly get on the right track.

However, in the past few days, with the arrival of the patriarchs of the major aristocratic families around the Tang Dynasty, more and more "tourists" came to Lijiazhuang every day to watch.

Even, sometimes, more than 20 waves of guests can be received in one day.

"Baoding, you said that so many people come to play around my estate every day, should I accept tickets from these people?"

Standing outside the courtyard, Li Xuan, Li Baoding and others held a clairvoyant in each hand, looking at the mighty play team in the distance.

"Master, what are the tickets for?" Li Baoding asked seriously.

"Tickets are the same as city gate tax. It's a pity that they don't charge tickets when so many people come to hang out in Li's Village every day!"

Li Xuan sighed lightly.

"Master, go to Baoding and ask them to charge tickets!"

Li Baoding looked serious.

"Ok?"

Li Xuan was taken aback, he was just joking.

Unexpectedly, Li Baoding was serious.

On the side, Cheng Chusi and the others also said seriously: "Master, the Li Family Village is your Zhuangzi. People from these aristocratic families come to hang out in your Zhuangzi and treat you like nothing. It's too arrogant. It should be taken away." Their tickets!"

"So, let's make a wooden sign, and if you want to enter the Zhuangzi, you will be charged ten Wen for admission!" Li Xuan said.

"Ten cents?"

Li Baoding and Cheng Chusi were all taken aback.

"But less?"

Li Xuan was puzzled.

"Master, is Shi Wen a little too much?"

Cheng Chusi said slowly.

"too much?"

Li Xuan's face brightened, and he said directly: "Then change it to twenty words!"

"Yes, Master!"

Li Baoding hurriedly responded before Cheng Chusi could speak.
