Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 181
Soon, Wang Xuance began to send invitations to families of all sizes in Youzhou to discuss matters.

For example, the Lu family, the Zu family, the Wei family, the Zhang family, the Han family, etc. After all, the Lu family is the only well-known local family in Youzhou.

But if we talk about county prefects, under the Lu family, there are still a bunch of miscellaneous people, who can call themselves county prefects no matter how many times they come out.

Faced with Wang Xuance's invitation, these aristocratic families somewhat hesitated, but in the end they still gave it face.

After all, this is the first post that Wang Xuance sent to everyone after he became the head of the Youzhou branch, so no one would dare to underestimate it.

After all, Youzhou Academy is a serious institution for imparting knowledge. There is a difference between the aristocratic families living in the frontier and the aristocratic families near Chang'an, because in the border areas, they only look at things that are practical or not, not whether they are exquisite or not.

Agricultural colleges, whether they teach farming, mathematics, herding, or other things, are still very practical for the frontier at least.

Under such circumstances, these noble families of the prefectures also wanted to stuff some of their non-directed children into it to study.

It is always good for people in one's own family to learn one more craft and add more heritage to one's family.

After all, during the Zhenguan period, he had just survived the chaos of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and no one would object to learning one more skill.

"Zigou, what is going on in your Youzhou Academy, you are one of us, can you reveal it!"

At this time, the patriarch of the Zu clan looked at Lu Chengji and said.

"It's a good thing!" Lu Chengji thought for a while, then said slowly: "When Shanzhang Wang comes, everyone will know."

Lu Chengji sighed slightly, although he knew that he had no chance to become the head of Youzhou Academy.

But when Li Chunfeng returned to Yan Wang's mansion, he still looked forward to some extent, but it was realistic, and it was too realistic.

This time, Li Tai approached Liu Rengui and Lu Chengji after convincing Wang Xuance about the large-scale experiment of grass seeds in the Sanggan River and the domestication of animal husbandry.

Because this was originally the national policy that the imperial court tried in Youzhou, and with Wang Xuance as the head of the mountain, Liu Rengui did not object.

But to make this happen, not only must there be unification of ideas within the academy, but also the aristocratic families from Youzhou must be recruited.

So they approached Lu Chengji and asked him, Fan Yang's Lu family, to join them as a representative.

To be honest, Lu Chengji was somewhat hesitant, but he also knew that this was an opportunity, so he finally agreed with hesitation.

Soon, Li Tai, Wang Xuance and others came out from the door, and when they saw everyone, they naturally saluted one by one.

Everyone was seated, although Li Tai was young, he was sitting in the main seat as a prince, even Wang Xuance was on Li Tai's right.

All the aristocratic families present were stunned when they saw Li Tai, but looking at Li Tai's age, and seeing that Wang Xuance and Lu Chengji did not object at all, they had somewhat guessed Li Tai's identity.

"Thank you for your invitation here today. On behalf of Youzhou Branch, I, Wang Xuance, thank you all for coming." Wang Xuance greeted everyone generously, and everyone also said "dare not dare" or other polite words.

However, Wang Xuance didn't continue to chat with the crowd, and went straight to the topic:

"Today I invite you to come here to discuss that the Agricultural Institute will plant a large area of ​​pasture grass and animal husbandry in the Sanggan River.

After one year of selection and one year of cultivation, the grass seeds have been selected, and a batch of pasture grass can be mowed five or six times a year to meet the food needs of livestock.

If you carry out large-scale breeding, you can earn a lot of money, it depends on whether you are willing to seize this opportunity. "

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, the Youzhou family couldn't help but look at each other.

It would be unrealistic to say how excited it is.

After all, Wang Xuance's words were not very touching after all. The people present were either the patriarchs of aristocratic families, or the leaders of wealthy families. If they are stunned by profit, at least they must see the benefit.

The problem is that Wang Xuance is only talking about it here, which is naturally unattractive to these people.

And Li Tai looked at the entire Youzhou family, and suddenly became quiet, and said slowly,
"This is the "Grass Seed Project" implemented by the imperial court. The income department of the whole plan needs one copy, the inner government supervisor needs one copy, I want three copies, and the Youzhou branch school wants two copies.

So, if you want to participate, there are owners of seven points, and only three points for you! "

"Three...three copies?!" The Youzhou family present couldn't help being stunned when they heard Li Tai's words, but seeing the head of the Zhang family couldn't help but said, "Isn't three copies too small, and there are still so many?" Let the family divide!"

Li Tai nodded and said: "The reason for giving you this investment opportunity is that the imperial court has no money right now, and you need to contribute money and work hard, otherwise you may not have this share next year!"

Hearing Li Tai's words, the family present didn't know how to refute.

Although Li Tai is only a 12-year-old boy, they dare not underestimate him as the King of Yan.

After all, the family as a whole might be able to suppress the imperial power, but if they are just individuals, they are still very fragile.

Looking at Li Tai's look, it's not that the court is looking for you to do something, but the court is giving you this opportunity, but it also makes the faces of the aristocratic families present not very good. After all, in their opinion, the court is begging for themselves. !
However, all the aristocratic families understood that looking at Li Tai's high profile, it was obvious that this job must be profitable.If it weren't for the money in King Yan's hands being invested in the small village of Tianjin, he might not even have the opportunity to eat soup for himself and others.

After all, in this world, everyone hates having one more person grabbing food.

Li Tai looked at Lu Chengji, and Lu Chengji knew that Li Tai wanted to be the leader himself.

Although Lu Chengji had made an agreement in advance, but now that the real thing is approaching, Lu Chengji is somewhat hesitant.

Li Tai frowned slightly, is this Lu Chengji so hesitant to be a supporter?It's a really useless feeling.

But at this time, the representative of the Wei family stood up and said, "My Wei family is willing to pay [-]%!"

Hearing this, Li Tai looked at the Wei family, their patriarch naturally didn't come, because their patriarch was Wei Xiaojie, governor of Youzhou.

Wei's coming here just represents Wei Xiaojie's support for the "Grass Seed Project". He is from the Hedong Wei family, not a local family in Youzhou.

After finishing this sentence, Wei Shi's representative said, "If you are not interested in the remaining [-]%, I, Wei Shi, can eat it too!"

Hearing Wei's representative's statement, everyone present looked at Li Tai involuntarily, obviously a little surprised.

After all, when Li Tai, the king of Yan, came here, not only was he the governor of Youzhou, but even the governor of Youzhou and the Sima of Youzhou were changed.

Wei Xiaojie, who has always been the largest military representative in Youzhou, unexpectedly supported Li Tai in this way.

Needless to say, if it wasn't for the sage's intentions, it would be no wonder Wei Xiaojie would take care of her like this.

Even if there is no meaning of a saint, it will be even more shocking behind it!

"After all, this is on the land of Youzhou. He Dongwei's hand is stretched too far, and he is not afraid of stretching his head!" When Lu Chengji realized it, he quickly said, "I, Lu, are willing to eat [-]% of my forehead." .”

At this moment, all the aristocratic families realized that this last share cannot be let go.

Sign up decisively one by one. After all, the more people participate, the bigger the share will be. When the overall share is large, even Fan Yang Lu and Hedong Wei may not be able to take all of this share. There is a chance.

Of course, it is not directly offended to buy this share, but to give the money to the Hedong Wei family or the Fan Yang Lu family, so that they will have face, and the most important thing is to have a lot of money, and how many have a relationship with these wealthy families what!

Li Tai didn't have much emotion when he watched the fight, the only strange thing was why Wei Xiaojie came to help him.

Therefore, with the end of this bidding, no matter whether the families present could make money from it or not, they more or less invested in it.

After all, even Wei Xiaojie, the dragon crossing the river represented by the Hedong Wei family, and Lu Chengji, the land tiger represented by the Fan Yang Lu family, have invested money, so as long as he is still in Youzhou, he must also invest money.

It was only through this investment that the big and small families clearly understood Li Tai's strength. No matter why Wei Xiaojie and Lu Chengji were willing to stand with Li Tai, since they chose to stand with Li Tai, it was to show Li Tai's influence.

When the crowd dispersed, Li Tai stopped the representative of the Hedong Wei family and said, "I wonder if the governor of Wei has any teachings?"

"Don't dare!" This means sincerely, "My Patriarch just said, King Yan, you have the talent of Tao Zhu, you can turn stone into gold, since you pointed out the way to make money, let me just follow it!"

"Thank the Governor of Wei for me!" Li Tai thought for a while, and said, "Just wait until the first step of the "Grass Seed Project" is completed, as long as the Governor of Wei is still in Youzhou, I can guarantee that the soldiers under his command will eat meat every week. Never stop!"

"Thank you, King Yan!" The representative of the Wei family heard Li Tai's words, but he couldn't believe it.

Although he is the representative of Hedong Wei's family, it must be known that even his servants don't get meat every week.

Don't say that Li Tai said that Wei Xiaojie's soldiers can eat meat every week. Is this really a life that soldiers can enjoy? !
Li Tai didn't have the idea of ​​visiting Wei Xiaojie, after all, as a feudal lord, being too close to this kind of Youzhou military leader was not a good thing for him or Wei Xiaojie.

As for the return to Wei Xiaojie, when the "Grass Seed Project" is implemented, Wei Xiaojie will naturally understand that his investment has made a lot of money.

In contrast, Li Tai was more curious about the reason why Wei Xiaojie had such confidence in him, after all, he had no friendship with Wei Xiaojie.

In fact, Li Tai didn't know that Wei Xiaojie was the original executor of the "Fishing Plan" he submitted.

It's just that later, Li Dejian had a place for the navy, which made Li Jing choose to hand over the navy to Li Dejian for training.

But although Wei Xiaojie withdrew from the Navy, he did not quit "Fishing Project".

To a certain extent, the profits from the fishing plan, except for the part that needs to be handed over to the imperial court and the profit that can be shared by Youzhou Academy, are basically given to the Bohai Marine Corps and Wei Xiaojie's subordinates.

In this regard, Wei Xiaojie naturally recognized Li Tai's ability more than anyone else.

"How is it, how much did these big and small aristocratic families pay?" Li Tai couldn't help asking when he came to Wang Xuance's side.

"Thirty...more than 30 guan!" Wang Xuance murmured, "Especially the Hedong Wei family handed in [-] guan!"

"Is the Hedong Wei family so rich?" Li Tai was also a little surprised, but Li Tai said,
"No matter what you say, since the money has come, let's make good use of it to build up the animal husbandry industry.

In addition, this sum of money can also appropriately expand the Lower Youzhou Academy and increase the scale of animal husbandry students! "

"That's not good, isn't it being used for other purposes!" Wang Xuance said a little embarrassed when he heard Li Tai's words.

Li Tai said sternly: "What do you mean by using it for other purposes, do I seem to be someone who would instigate you to do such a thing?
Obviously, we don't have enough manpower in the animal husbandry industry, so we have to use this sum of money for the cultivation of animal husbandry talents! "

"Since King Yan said so! Then I will use part of this sum of money to expand the enrollment of animal husbandry students!" Wang Xuance said.

Li Tai raised his brows, always feeling that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually has two hundred hearts!

However, Li Tai didn't say anything more. After all, among many things, the first money was the real rare thing.

Now that there are policies, funds, methods, and technology, and Wang Xuance wants to be promoted step by step, he must put all his energy into this "Grass Seed Project".

At least the right time, place and people have been assembled as much as possible. Whether the large-scale livestock breeding can be successful depends on Wang Xuance's own ability.

Li Tai didn't care about the Youzhou Branch School any more, after all, as long as he didn't achieve a result, he was afraid that Wang Xuance would burn out.

But Li Tai returned to Tianjin Village and began to think of ways to increase the population of Tianjin Village.

These days, Gao Jifu also began to send people to the small Tianjin village, but because the main population that Li Tai wanted was Han Chinese, the population of this small Tianjin village did not increase very fast.

Counting the more than 500 people that Li Tai brought with him, the population of Tianjin Village has only reached about 4000, but it will have to wait for a further increase.

For Li Tai, many public facilities in the small village with a population of 4000 also have meaning, such as shopping malls, medical buildings, teaching buildings, etc. Various facilities have begun to settle in Tianjin.

It's not that there was no plan to build it before, but things have to be done one by one. The most important thing is that the saltworks need to invest in manpower and material resources as soon as possible.

After all, the earlier the saltworks are built, the earlier the profit is.
But now that the population has reached this number, it is enough to build up supporting facilities.

And when Li Tai was worried about where the manpower should come from, Wang Zhenru and Wei Xu brought some Gaoling corvee and bad people backbones, as well as more than 1000 Gaoling students, from the canal to the small village of Tianjin.

It has to be said that the arrival of this group of students has really solved Li Tai's urgent needs. Li Tai really needs this kind of succession management talent.

Not to mention, the unscrupulous people brought by Wei Xu have rich experience in peacekeeping, and Wang Zhenru's corvee troops are even experts in road construction.

The most important thing is that with this group of people coming over, Li Tai felt that he could recruit some foreigners to work again.

All of a sudden, the entire Tianjin village, no, the Tianjin town began to explode with amazing vitality, and developed rapidly at a rapid rate.
