Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 207 Proposal

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chunfeng took Xue Dading and Wang Youfang to the cafeteria opened in the palace.

Seeing that Li Tai was already sitting at the table waiting, Xue Dading couldn't help but glance at Li Chunfeng, complaining a bit.

However, Li Chunfeng was already familiar with this scene. Seeing Li Tai salute Li Tai calmly, "My lord, how is your breakfast?"

"Your sliced ​​ham is indispensable." Li Tai stopped his chopsticks, looked at Li Chunfeng and said,
"You come so punctually every time, you must not have measured every step!"

"Your Majesty is joking, how can I come on time, you are the one who is on time!" Li Chunfeng said with a smile.

Li Tai didn't say much, and asked Bai He to take the paper to wipe his mouth and said, "Eat slowly! Eat well."

Watching Li Tai and Bai He leave, Li Chunfeng dragged Xue Dading to the breakfast selection area.
"King Yan is gone, don't be so restrained, the remaining dishes, you can take whatever you like, don't waste it!"

"So many dishes? It's all our breakfast...it's too rich!"

Xue Dading looked at the breakfast with Xiaolongbao, Xiaoxiaosu, steamed dumplings, deep-fried sauce, tofu brain, soy milk, meat slices, duck eggs... so much that he couldn't see it.

There was even a man dressed as a chef with noodles in front of him, and a thick broth next to it, ready to eat at any time.

"Is this what King Yan ate? This is too extravagant!"

Although Xue Dading knew that Li Tai's life was extravagant, he never thought that it would be so extravagant.

A person eats so many things in the morning, I'm afraid he can't taste everything.

"What are you thinking, take the plate and grab what you like to eat!" Li Chunfeng said,
"Except for banquets in Prince Yan's Mansion, most of the meals are like this.

King Yan was the first to eat, followed by officials with officials, followed by the servants in charge of King Yan, and finally the staff in the cafeteria.

Each group of people had a fixed meal time, but everyone ate the same food. Basically, whatever King Yan ate, the entire King Yan Mansion ate. "

"Why so..." Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Xue Dading felt that Li Tai seemed a little too frugal.

"After all, King Yan was born in the royal family, so he is particular about eating, but he himself is not a person who is easy to spend extravagantly, and he is more sympathetic to the people and servants. It is not surprising to do such a behavior!"

Li Chunfeng is used to it, first put several pieces of ham in his plate, and then said slowly,

"Eat whatever you like!"

To be honest, for Li Tai, eating is really a problem.

Because I am a prince and now a prince, there are rules on how much to eat each time.

Often there is only a small amount of food on a large plate that is spread out, and it is thrown away when it is not finished. It is really a waste.

So Li Tai carried out reforms. It is impossible for him to change his plate arrangement and eating etiquette, because this is the rule.

Then change the surrounding environment of eating, how to arrange the dishes, or how to arrange the dishes.

According to the etiquette system, it is meaningless to forcefully change it by yourself, but the whole Yanwang Mansion is up to you in the end.

Everyone eats the buffet, so that the people below can also enjoy the delicious food they eat. As the scale expands, the cost will naturally drop. After all, the entire Yanwang Mansion has more than a thousand people, and the scale effect is obvious.

At the same time, I set the first eating rule, which is taken for granted by others.

After all, he is King Yan and the person in charge of King Yan's mansion.

But in fact, for Li Tai himself, what he did was to remind himself that he was now carrying the entire Yan Palace.

Even if I wake up a little late, the people in the entire King Yan's mansion will accompany me to starve.

Because the rule set by Yan Wangfu is to eat the first meal by oneself.

This forced Li Tai to get up early, and there was nothing better than the rules he set to tell himself what he had to bear.

In the future, if he fails in seizing the heirloom, and he has no food to eat, then the entire Prince Yan Palace will also have no food to eat.

That's why Li Tai can get up early every day.

It really takes willpower to want to do things against your will, purely for yourself.

But he was lying in bed, and the entire King Yan Mansion was starving with him, and Li Tai, who still had some conscience brought by modern times, couldn't completely ignore these people as passers-by.

At this moment, after Li Chunfeng and Xue Dading had finished their breakfast and came to yesterday's conference hall, Li Tai took out the copywriting that he and Bai He had just recreated, and said,

"Important Minister, please see if these plans are implemented at the bottom and whether the people can carry them out.

Chunfeng, look at the data, expect to be lenient, and see if there are any major problems with the data under our plan. "

The two of them didn't talk too much, and immediately took this white crane's plan to copy again.

Although Bai He's handwriting is definitely more radiant than someone else's, but now no one has the time to appreciate Bai He's amazing regular script.

According to their own abilities, both of them marked the handwriting with a pen, copied out the problematic part, and then disassembled it further, one for more detailed writing materials, and the other for more careful calculation data.

After they couldn't find any problems, they handed over an almost brand new proposal to Li Tai.

Although there is no change in the general direction, the content that has been filled in a little bit has added a lot of plans to the plan.

Facing this proposal, Li Tai asked Bai He to copy four copies, one copy would be given to the Governor of Youzhou, one copy would be sent to Cangzhou, one copy would be kept in his Yanwang Mansion, and the last copy would naturally be sent to the imperial court. Send it over.

In this plan, Li Tai has already written all the money matters.

To put it simply, Youzhou will invest in Cangzhou, and the investment will be divided into three parts, one part is the Youzhou government, the other part is the Yanwang Mansion, and the other part is the family interested in Youzhou.

The imperial court, as the supervisor of the entire plan, proved the validity of this contract.

Because the volume of the entire project is too large, Cangzhou will use the future income to pay in installments over 20 years, and a little interest is required.

At the same time, because there is no suitable material manufacturer in Cangzhou, the materials for various infrastructures are handled by the manufacturers in Youzhou, and the manufacturers in Youzhou directly settle the settlement with Yanwang Mansion.

King Yan's Mansion will contract all the materials for the whole project at a price that is two floors lower than the market price. It is really a loss to grandma's house.

Seeing Li Tai's generosity, Xue Dading was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. He has never seen such a prince who serves the country and the people.

Li Tai asked Xue Dading to take the entire plan back first, and build the preliminary project first.

By next year, Youzhou will begin to assist Cangzhou in the entire project.

Of course, the most important time is when Tianjin corvee needs to free up their hands to help Cangzhou.

As for now, when Xue Dading left, he took back about 200 students who had just come to Youzhou from Gaoling and went to Cangzhou, at least to pull the initial layout first.

And they had just left not long ago, and not long after, the entire Youzhou family, large and small, somehow knew that when the governor of Cangzhou left, he took a plan from Li Tai's hands, a plan with a lot of profits.

As for how they knew so clearly, it must be someone in Yan Wang's mansion who got drunk and went out to talk nonsense. Everyone knows that Yan Wang doesn't drink, and the leak of this news has nothing to do with Yan Wang.

This made the local aristocratic families smell some money and food, and one by one began to send people to Tianjin City.

It's just that they stayed in Tianjin City, and they were somewhat hesitant in their hearts. They wanted to go to King Yan's Mansion to ask if they had a chance to participate in it, but they were also afraid that their presumptuous visit would leave bad news for Li Tai. Impressions lead to loss of points.

To be honest, the feelings of the Youzhou family towards Li Tai are somewhat complicated, but they are more positive.

Because when Li Tai came to Youzhou, he brought a completely different way of playing.

Normally, when any official arrives in the local area, he needs to rely on the local aristocratic family to develop, and in the process of development, the aristocratic family will share the profits.

But Li Tai is completely different. When he first came here, he played with his own, and the Youzhou family only watched indifferently. Even if Li Tai built a city in Tianjin, or borrowed food from the Youzhou family, there was only some communication.

Even the relationship between the Youzhou family and Li Tai is really not considered, it is more appropriate to say that there is a transaction rather than a relationship.

But all of this, during the corvée this year, when there were problems with the big and small aristocratic families in Youzhou, Li Tai chose to help instead of suppressing the aristocratic families, so that he really showed his position.

To be honest, it is really hard to describe this kind of thing in words.

Listening to his words and observing his deeds means looking at a person's standpoint and what he does to determine whether he is one of his own.

Regardless of whether this person is going to be the sixth child or a spy, as long as his actions are in line with his class's behavior, then it doesn't matter whether this person has any problems. For the entire class, maintaining class consistency is important.

As for Li Tai, no matter what Li Tai wanted to do, during the spring plowing, Li Tai did not take advantage of the trend to suppress the Youzhou family.

Moreover, Li Tai even pointed out a way of making money, and the Youzhou family who joined the "Grass Seed Project" is even closer to the Yue Palace.

Those Youzhou aristocratic families who did not participate in the grass seed project, Eight Immortals crossing the sea managed to get enough labor to cultivate their own fields, they didn't have much hatred for Li Tai, on the contrary, they were more jealous of those Youzhou aristocratic families who rewarded Li Tai's thigh.

So although Li Tai didn't interfere in the affairs of the Youzhou family, and didn't do anything to suppress the Youzhou family, the Youzhou family has more or less recognized Li Tai's existence.

What's more important is that those aristocratic families who followed Li Tai have made money and have a better future. For the aristocratic families, this is real.

Therefore, the aristocratic family wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hook up with Li Tai, after all, these days, no one would make things difficult for Li Tai!
However, the aristocratic family didn't have a way to connect with Li Tai directly. The aristocratic family immediately found Gao Jifu, who became more and more friendly with him, but asked Gao Jifu to go to the Yan Palace to inquire about the news and see if there was any benefit.

Therefore, Gao Jifu soon came to visit Li Tai in a light boat.

It can only be said that after the Grand Canal was dredged, it took only a few days to get from Cangzhou to Youzhou. Gao Jifu received the news to find Li Tai, and the speed was even faster.

Anyway, Gao Jifu also understood, as long as Li Tai didn't do anything bad, then he should just turn a blind eye.

As for when this one eye of mine will open, King Yan has a project at this time!

In any case, King Yan is in the border of Youzhou, so it's not too much to take some credit for it.

Therefore, when Gao Jifu came to the Yue Palace, Li Tai entertained him with good tea and water, and said to Gao Jifu,

"It has been raining heavily in Youzhou recently. I heard that Gao Changshi went to inspect the water conservancy in Youzhou. How can I have the time to come to Tianjin City?"

Although the relationship between Li Tai and Gao Jifu has gradually eased down, and even some necessary exchanges are even better, but if Gao Jifu really comes to visit, it is more or less an important matter.

Gao Jifu looked at Li Tai with a wry smile, and said, "I'm also inspecting the water conservancy, but whoever asked the Youzhou family to count as one, all of them came to visit me and asked if there was any major event recently.

As for the important matters that I, the governor of Youzhou, don't know about, I can only ask you, King Yan.

I just don’t know if you, King Yan, are willing to solve the confusion! "

"What did Gao Changshi say? It's not clearing the confusion. It's just a deal about the next 20 years in Youzhou. If the Youzhou government is interested, just add it in. If not, forget it! "

As Li Tai spoke, he took out the plan he had prepared for the Youzhou government, and said,
"If Gao Changshi is interested, the Youzhou government will also have a certain amount of income in the future.

Of course, if Gao Changshi is willing to come forward and select a few reliable Youzhou families to join in, he will naturally be able to share a few profits.

Of course, I won't join forces with the Youzhou family, but if you have money, everyone can make money together, there is nothing wrong with it! "

"This money is mainly paid by the Youzhou family? Doesn't the government need to pay?" Gao Jifu looked at the plan and asked in confusion.

Li Tai said calmly: "No need! Within the scope of Youzhou, it is enough to provide a certain degree of political convenience.

For example, organizing people to serve in corvee, such as building a road leading to Youzhou, and in the future, corvee will need to work across states, and the government still needs to make adjustments, etc. These are the things that the Youzhou government will need to do in the future. "

"But the Youzhou family can't afford so much money and food?" Gao Jifu asked doubtfully.

"You just give this condition to the Youzhou family! If they are not interested, then I will take their shares."

Li Tai put his hand on the plan, and said to Gao Jifu seriously,

"Anyway, you show this condition to the Youzhou family. Those who are willing to participate can participate, and those who don't want to forget it."

　I stayed up late watching DOTA games, so I woke up a bit late...
