Li Shimin

Chapter 838

It was a few days later.

Li Xuan's other courtyard, a group of guests came again!
"Chengqian, Xuance, and Yizhi have met Master!"

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong, and Yuchi Baolin bowed their hands respectfully to Li Xuan.

"You didn't stay in Weinan County honestly, why did you come back suddenly?"

Li Xuan was a little strange.

"Master, I have visited Weinan County for this appointment, and now I have a general understanding of the situation in Weinan County, so I came here to ask Master, how can Chengqian lead the people of Weinan County to become rich?"

Li Chengqian directly explained his intention.

"Oh?"

Li Xuan glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise, and then he noticed that Li Chengqian and Wang Xuance had become much more stable after not seeing each other for two months.

"You all know my Lijiazhuang very well. Do you think that according to the situation of Lijiazhuang, what can the people of Weinan County do to make money?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and the others couldn't help being taken aback.

The operation of my wife seems to be different from what they imagined?
However, fortunately, when they were walking in the townships of Weinan County, they actually visited them. They had some understanding of the situation in the townships of Weinan County, and they also tried to think about how to develop Weinan County and make Weinan County like a master. The Lijiazhuang is average!
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian spoke.

"Master, there are more than 2 households in Weinan County, and more than 2 people. Among them, there are only more than 2 young and old, and more than [-] young children. The rest are old, women and weak!

Weinan County just passes by the south of the Wei River. The people of Weinan County can build water conservancy projects beside the Wei River, build irrigation canals and reservoirs to store water, so as to prevent the food grown by the people from being damaged when there is a severe drought in the pass next year! "

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, without any expression on his face.

Li Chengqian continued: "In addition, Chengqian is going to take the people in Weinan to raise pigs and chickens. After the number of chickens and pigs raised increases, the people can not only eat eggs on weekdays, but also eat chicken and pigs, and eat chicken and pigs. You can bring these chicken pigs to Chang'an or Huazhou to sell them!"

"In addition, we can encourage the common people to reclaim wasteland and plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, so that the common people can not only accumulate some food in winter, but also bring the surplus sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn to Chang'an or Huazhou to sell and make money. !"

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded again.

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others at the side couldn't help being taken aback again.

"Master, I wonder if the policy Chengqian said is feasible?"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan, who was still waiting for Li Chengqian to continue, couldn't help being taken aback, "Is it finished?"

Li Chengqian froze with Wang Xuance and the others.

Inexplicably, I couldn't help feeling tense, feeling like a teacher checking my homework.

"Master, the policies Chengqian said are borrowed from Master's Li Family Village and our Zhuangzi. Is it difficult to implement?"

"no!"

Li Xuan shook his head slowly, "In fact, the three methods mentioned by Gao Ming can be implemented, and they are enough for a prince."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but relax a little.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan continued, "Unfortunately, you are still the county magistrate of Weinan!"

"Please correct me, master!"

Li Chengqian hurriedly cupped his hands and asked for advice.

Li Xuan asked directly: "You want to build water conservancy projects on the Weihe River and build irrigation canals and reservoirs for the people of Weinan, which is a matter of benefiting the country and the people!

But, I wonder if you have thought about it, how do you build water conservancy?Do you directly order the recruitment of the people, or hire the people?
Moreover, you have to think that since ancient times, building roads and bridges, and building water conservancy projects have been a waste of money and people!How can you guarantee that the people of Weinan County will actively follow your Weinan county magistrate's words and do their best to build irrigation canals and reservoirs? "

Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others couldn't help but fell silent.

However, Li Xuan did not stop, but continued to ask: "Also, do you want the common people to raise pigs and chickens?"

"Then, I want to know that the people in Weinan County have started to get richer? Do they have extra food to feed hogs and chickens? Or, does he have extra money to buy hogs and chickens?"

"Furthermore, do you encourage the people in Weinan County to reclaim wasteland and plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in the wasteland? I don't know, how many acres of land do each family need to cultivate each year for the [-] households in Weinan County?
Do they have the energy to reclaim wasteland?
If [-] households plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, they will surely have a good harvest.

However, have sweet potato, potato, and corn seeds been popularized in Weinan County? If Weinan County has not popularized them, how can they get sweet potato, potato, and corn seeds?
Or, you can buy sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn seeds at your own expense?Could it be that these seeds should be given to the people of Weinan County for free?
Furthermore, do the people of Weinan County know how high the output of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn is?How high is the value?

Will they be grateful to you?Is what you are doing self-impressed, and can those people realize how much benefit you have done to them? "

"Also ask the master to teach Cheng Qian!"

After listening, Li Chengqian's eyes lit up, feeling a sense of enlightenment, he quickly got up and bowed his hands to Li Xuan.

Similarly, Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi, Changsun Chong and others on the side also looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

They have been in Weinan County for two months, and they already know a lot about the situation in Weinan County.

Fortunately, when they went, none of Weinan County's lieutenants and magistrates were promoted or transferred away.

Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong and the others just showed that they are the sons of honored nobles, and they are also the sons of top honored nobles.

Let the county magistrate, county lieutenant and others in Weinan County think that Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong, the honorable children, came to Weinan County to be gilded and left after a year or so. He was respectful and respectful every day, and he only thought about staying through the first half of the year and sending Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong away.

Therefore, Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong and others went very smoothly in Weinan County, and no one came out to make trouble.

However, after what Li Xuan said, they suddenly discovered that unless Li Chengqian disclosed his status as the crown prince to the county lieutenant and county magistrate of Weinan County, otherwise it would be impossible for them to carry out their secret strategy in Weinan County .

At least, those magistrates and magistrates will not let these honorable children mess around!
After thinking for a while, Li Xuan said, "Winter is coming soon, and the land is frozen. If you want to build water conservancy, you can only wait until next year."

"However, you can draw a map of water conservancy fields according to the conditions of the fields in Weinan County and the rivers in Weinan County. You will mark the locations of irrigation canals and reservoirs on the drawings.

Then, gather all the villages and people in the fields covered by the canals and reservoirs, and show them the benefits of building canals and reservoirs, especially the village leaders and elders of each village!
The common people rely on the farmland for their livelihood, and all of this is closely related to them. Just show them the drawings and let them know that the water conservancy built can benefit their own homes. When it rains for days, the reservoir can store water so that they Their crops will not be flooded, and they can also irrigate their crops with water reservoirs during droughts; and with irrigation canals, they can also irrigate through irrigation canals no matter how severe the weather is.

In this way, after they know the benefits of building water conservancy, the morale of the people will be strong! "

"Also, can you show off your abilities as noble children? For example, you can borrow bombs, and when you encounter difficult-to-digging land, you can use bombs to explode, so that the common people can save more effort.

Or, you can recruit strong men from those villages, and a strong man will be paid five cents a day, two catties of grain, one tael of bacon, and one tael of salt, and they will be paid every day. give a day.

In this way, without spending a lot of money, the people can eat and drink, subsidize their families, and build water conservancy for them. Naturally, they are willing to go, and they are very willing to go! "

"In addition, whoever has a Zhuangzi in Weinan County, you can take advantage of these few days, the land in the field can still be replanted, and build a ten-acre glass greenhouse in the Zhuangzi in Weinan County, and separately plant sweet potatoes and potatoes. , corn, peppers, and pumpkins are planted.

After the sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and peppers are ripe, the county officials and lieutenants of Weinan County, as well as a group of high-ranking villagers, are invited to watch the harvest of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

After letting them see the harvest of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn with their own eyes, they will naturally be eager to plant sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

At that time, you only need to go to Weinan County to buy some seeds and seedlings of sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc., and the people of Weinan County will naturally rush to buy from you! "

"As for raising chickens and hogs, it is complementary to planting fields.

You can only encourage the people to raise chickens and pigs, sell piglets and chicks to the people at a low price, and send people to teach them how to raise pigs and chickens!
For example, after planting potatoes and sweet potatoes, you can mix the potatoes and sweet potato leaves, or hogweed, and the hogs will especially like to eat them.

As for the chicks, corn and pumpkin can feed chickens and pigs, and leftovers can also feed chickens and pigs! "

"You can also send people to teach the people in the villages to build special manure ponds. The feces of pigs and chickens can be specially used, covered as fertilizer, and sprinkled on the land to improve the soil and increase fertility!"

"In addition, although I don't know how many cattle are there in Weinan County?

However, you can send people to Shunzhou, Yuzhou, Huazhou, Changzhou, Dingxiang, and Yunzhong. Now they all raise a large number of cattle, and you can buy a large number of cattle from them. Cattle, raised in Weinan County!
If there are people or villages who can buy it, you sell it to them.

If no one buys it, you will raise it yourself, and then rent it out to them every year when you plow the land. You will be charged two or three renminbi for plowing an acre of land, or you can set your own price. The cost of raising cattle can be paid out! "

"and also……"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Li Xuan lay down on the sofa, picked up the teacup at the side, and drank slowly.

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and the others had shocked faces and bright eyes.

After a while, the few people slowly came back to their senses.

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Xuan waved his hands indifferently and said: "If you really want to thank me, you can just find more delicacies in the world for me in the future!"

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others couldn't help laughing.

"Master was joking, all the delicacies in the world are in Master's Village!"

"That's your shallow knowledge!"

Li Xuan said angrily.

"Okay, what else is there for you?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian quickly said with a sneer: "Master, I want to build concrete roads and houses for the people of Weinan County. I wonder if Master has a good plan?"

"Ok?"

Li Xuan turned his head and took a deep look at Li Chengqian.

"You have all built concrete houses for your own households. How much money does it cost to build a house? You also have an idea in your mind. Do you think that with the current family background of the people in Weinan County, can they afford it?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Master, Chengqian remembers that Master said before that after the bank is opened, the real estate department can borrow money from the bank to build the house, and after the building is completed, the common people..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chengqian was stunned!
Li Xuan chuckled, "How much money do you think it takes to buy a concrete house? How many families in Weinan County can afford it?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but sighed helplessly.

"Gao Ming, the money house is for rich families and wealthy businessmen. As for the concrete houses, only rich families and wealthy businessmen can afford it!"

Li Xuanyou said quietly, "As for those people who are poor, at most they are only building concrete houses and paving concrete roads. They work as strong coolies and earn some hard money from it."

"Gao Ming, the common people at this stage, as long as they have enough food in their families and have a few more children, it is serious business. If they want to live in concrete houses, they need at least five years, or even ten years, 50 years of hard work!

However, the life of the people here is much better than ever, at least they won't go hungry!

You, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, work harder, so that everyone in the Tang Dynasty has enough clothes to wear, and they will no longer suffer from the cold, and they will be satisfied! "

"Master, Chengqian knows!"

Li Chengqian's spirit shook, and he clasped his hands together.

Then, thinking of something, he asked again: "Master, if you teach the people in Weinan County to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and then raise hogs and chickens, the farmers in Chengqian and others' village will not be enough!"

"It's okay!"

Li Xuan looked relaxed.

"At that time, the king can lend you some manpower from the village. Or, the next door to Lijiazhuang is the farm of the Twelve Guards. You, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, borrowed a hundred old men who can grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn from the farm. Pawn, it should be possible to borrow it!"

"Thank you, master, for reminding me!"

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others immediately relaxed.

Li Xuan said again: "However, if you want to borrow someone to teach the people in Weinan County to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, and raise pigs and chickens, you need to pay tuition fees!"

"tuition fee?"

Li Chengqian couldn't help being taken aback.

"Exactly!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

"Whether it's the people in my village or the veterans from the farm next door, they went all the way to Weinan County to teach those common people how to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, and also taught them to raise poultry and livestock such as hogs and chickens. These are all knowledge. Isn’t some tuition too much?”
