Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 270
In Youzhou, Wang Xuance inspected the ranch as usual.

With the arrival of spring, Youzhou, Cangzhou, and even many other Hebei prefectures and counties became more urgent for scalpers because of Li Tai's original layout.

And Youzhou Ranch is also cultivating more in the direction of raising cattle.

After all, farming cattle is really easy to sell. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal flows down the river, and all the land boundaries that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through are mainly plains, which are good places for plowing fields.

Especially in the north, because of Tianjin, a commercial city that instinctively absorbs the surrounding population, and the steady development of Cangzhou under Li Tai's plan, the siphon effect on the surrounding counties is even more obvious.

Because of this, at least Hebei prefectures and counties have more or less less people, and the cattle in Youzhou are a good helper to solve the farming problem.

Of course, if the local area is really not rich enough to be reluctant to buy and sell the cattle, then wherever there is an agricultural society, there will be cattle as a reserve, and the common people can rent cattle to cultivate land from the agricultural society through a joint venture.

There will definitely be various problems in the process, and Li Tai did not force the Agricultural Society to help the poor.

After all, in Li Tai's view, as long as they have land, no matter how hard it is, they are considered middle class in this society.

Just like in modern times, as long as there is a house that can be rented out, no matter how bad it is, it is still at a well-off level.

Do you want to subdivide it yourself, are you renting out one suite, more than a dozen suites, or the entire building?
It's just that Li Tai's only request is that the process of renting and using the farm cattle should be transparent.

Whoever has the most money will use it first, and directly arrange the days when the cattle will be used next, so that every family is ready to use the cattle. If something happens to the cattle in your home, you will have to pay of.

Basically, as long as the agricultural society is fair and transparent, and the rules are clearly stated, the people will not complain about unfair things. At most, they will just say how the agricultural society fell into the eyes of money.

But in any case, as the graduates of agricultural colleges opened agricultural colleges in villages, the demand for cattle in the north naturally gradually increased.

At the same time, for the large local Arita households, because they use these new technologies, they feel that it is more cost-effective than hiring more people, so the number of scalpers for sale naturally increases.

Every year after winter and before the end of spring plowing, it is basically the craziest time for scalpers to sell.

As for buying cattle for food, at least in a short period of time, no one has dared to have such a crazy idea.

Even if it takes a long time, as long as the court does not lift the corresponding laws, at least for the vast majority of ordinary people, they really dare not risk their lives to taste this taste.

"Xuance, Xuance!" Just as Wang Xuance was patrolling as usual, he saw the tall Liu Rengui approaching Wang Xuance.

Although Wang Xuance came back, Wang Xuance only took over the ranch of "Seed Project", and Youzhou Academy was still in the hands of Liu Rengui.

"Regular, why are you here!" Wang Xuance asked in a daze, "But what happened to the academy?"

"Of course there is nothing wrong with the school!" Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Liu Rengui couldn't laugh or cry, and said,

"I'm looking for you because King Yan has a letter to come here, and it will be delivered to you through the academy!"

"Oh? King Yan!" Hearing Liu Rengui's words, Wang Xuance couldn't help but be a bit surprised.

After all, when he left, King Yan had only left for a short time. From Wang Xuance's point of view, after suppressing the rebellion against Tuyuhun, King Yan returned to Chang'an, and it would be a few years before King Yan really found him.

Let's first cultivate the horse and donkey hybrid species that King Yan needs.

As a result, he had just returned not long ago, and he hadn't even found out the horses he bred. As a result, the letter from King Yan had already been delivered to him.

King Yan was on the front line, but still worried about his own affairs, Wang Xuance couldn't help feeling a little ashamed!
Wang Xuance took the letter from Liu Rengui with his respectful hands, and carefully tore it open, but there was not much content in the letter, just a few words: "Hehuang is a state, Qinghai can be expected, the seeds are restarted, work with you .”

Wang Xuance looked at Li Tai's letter, and couldn't help but smile wryly. King Yan didn't even ask him if he was willing, so he let him go in such a domineering manner.

This is the journey from Youzhou to Hehuang Valley, at least a few months.

"Xuance, on King Yan's letter, is there any panacea to relieve the depression in your heart!" Liu Ren asked.

"Zheng Ze made fun of you!" Wang Xuance put the letter away calmly, and then said, "My Tang Dynasty has conquered the Hehuang Valley, and presumably won the war with Tuyuhun, so the King of Yan asked me to help That's all!"

Liu Rengui congratulated Wang Xuance with a smile on hearing Wang Xuance's words,

"Then I'm here to congratulate Brother Zhengzheng. This journey of thousands of miles will be a grand exhibition, and it will go straight to the sky!"

"It's all supported by King Yan. Without King Yan, I wouldn't have returned to Youzhou from Chang'an in such a dismal way!" Wang Xuance shook his head at Liu Rengui, "Thank you brother Zhengzheng for sending the letter today. Let's stay together and have a tooth sacrifice." it is good!"

"Then I will take advantage of you!" Hearing what Wang Xuance said, Liu Rengui replied with a smile.

After all, apart from this place, even rich people in other places may not be able to eat meat every day, but here, at least roast whole lamb is guaranteed.

After basically finishing the meal with Liu Rengui, Wang Xuance set off in a hurry, all the way down the Grand Canal.

From Youzhou to Shanzhou, almost from the easternmost point to the westernmost point of Datang, it takes several months to go.

At this time in Qinghai, Li Tai took the initiative to find Li Jing and said, "Director Li, let me handle the assets belonging to the soldiers. Millions of hairy ones don't count. Soldiers bring these livestock back to Chang'an?"

"King Yan, some of these spoils are going to be given to the imperial court, I can't be the master!" Li Jing couldn't help saying.

"Director Li, I didn't want to touch the part of the court, I just said, are you going to let them eat all the cattle and sheep you rewarded to the soldiers now, or are you going to take them all back to the court?

Save it, you take these things on the road, do you know how to take care of them?
I'm afraid that more than half of these livestock will die halfway, so why bother! " Li Tai pestered again.

Hearing Li Tai's insistence, Li Jing paced back and forth, hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't help but say:

"But King Yan, you just took the handwritten food stamps, didn't even seal them, and said you paid the money, isn't it too much.

You are the prince, but you can't treat the soldiers as fools!If it is not handled well, the soldiers will riot! "

To be honest, Li Jing has no objection to Li Tai's desire to take over the various supplies he seized from Tuyuhun.

After all, these days Li Jing also understood that Li Tai is really capable, and very capable.

Needless to say, in two months, the people of Shancheng who had been plundered by the Tang army didn't say anything about eating pots and pulp to welcome the king's army, but they all obeyed the dispatch of King Yan to assist the Tang army in handling logistics matters, and it seemed It seems quite positive.

Li Jing didn't know how King Yan did it, but with such logistics, Li Jing could really breathe a sigh of relief.

But even so, this time Tuyuhun was wiped out and so many supplies were seized, according to the rules of the military system, the soldiers got one share, the generals one share, and one share was handed over.

Many soldiers participated in the battle, not necessarily for military merit, but for the capture of more knowledge after winning.

After all, the military merits and so on mainly depend on whether the superiors see you well, and whether they will be greedy for your merits, but the captures that you put in your pockets on the battlefield are your own.

Even the most domineering generals usually turn a blind eye to the captures obtained by their soldiers fighting with their lives.

This is the inevitability of the military system of the government. After all, this kind of military and agricultural system is integrated, and the equipment is almost entirely borne by oneself except the armor. Do you really think that you can get ahead by fighting.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui was the only one who stood out because of the military system. Because he was wearing a white horse and a silver spear, and his combat power was beyond the charts, he was favored by the emperor.

As for the low-level military generals from other military systems, there are almost very few, so for the low-level military soldiers, they really don't expect to be promoted, but they only hope to get rich after winning.

And their desire to get rich, even Li Shimin needs to use his own money to redeem it, so as to save the soldiers from being robbed.

Therefore, Li Jing watched Li Tai use the food coupons he wrote to redeem the captured soldiers. From Li Jing's point of view, it was purely cheating money.

Li Tai pressed his temple and said to Li Jing,

"Director Li, although you have eliminated the main force of Tuyuhun, since Xihai is going to build a city here, Aye probably didn't let you go back to the court right away.

At least the area north of Dafeichuan and south of Xihai should be wiped out, so that I can take over! "

When Li Jing heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help looking at Li Tai, but said, "What are you going to do?"

Li Tai nodded, but continued:

"Since the number of soldiers used is not so many, let the soldiers take turns to rest.

However, the local population is limited, with a maximum of 3000 people in one batch. I will organize women's houses, soup springs, and local specialties.

He even helped the soldiers clean up their clothes and other chores, so that the soldiers were willing to hand over what they had seized. "

To be honest, I might feel a little bit ashamed morally about organizing women's brothels, but from the ruler's point of view, it would be a good thing if local women got pregnant because of it.

After all, I was planning to annex this place in the first place. Nothing can stabilize the local situation more than these children with Chinese blood growing up. Even originally, I was only relying on enlightenment, and I am afraid that it will take decades to assimilate this place.

But now, as long as I have the intention to push behind it, when these children grow up, the Chinese blood flowing in their blood will allow them to quickly help the local people of Shanzhou integrate into China.

Therefore, Li Tai asked Xue Rengui to bring the household registration information for enthronement to choose a woman.

Many of them are widows and single-daughter households. They are from the Qiang nationality and do not have a strong concept of chastity, so they have no objection to selling their bodies.

After all, in order to survive, it is not cheap.

Not to mention ancient times, even if life is difficult due to chaos in modern society, it will lead to a decline in women's living status.

And at this time, prostitution is often the last way for women to survive. After all, a grain of sand of the times falls on a person's head and it is a mountain.

Whether it is Japan after the baptism of the new crown, or Ukraine, where the Russo-Ukrainian war broke out, this is proved.

Of course, Li Tai didn't pretend that he gave these women a way out and saved them.

I just hope that the same disaster will not happen to the people of Tang Dynasty in the future, and I'd better earn the money first.

It's as if after World War II, a large part of Japan's start-up capital was obtained by providing various services for the US troops stationed in Japan.

Now the Tang army has defeated Tuyuhun and looted Tuyuhun's wealth, but these wealth are in the hands of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be realized, so it is meaningless.

But with the appearance of Li Tai, he can use his reputation to exchange the captured soldiers for food stamps. Of course, salt stamps are also possible.

At the same time, he quickly appeased Shancheng, restored order in Shancheng, and established many supporting facilities in Shancheng.

The establishment of these supporting facilities, especially the dedication of the local people in Shancheng, has enabled Shancheng to undertake a certain amount of consumption.

Of course, if the soldiers rushed directly into Shancheng in one breath, the conquest facilities in Shancheng would definitely be overwhelmed.

So Li Tai set a quota of about [-] at the beginning, and it should be able to gradually expand to [-] later, but that's all.

Continue to increase consumption, if the city transforms, it may not be impossible to continue to undertake, but this is not in line with the original positioning of Shancheng.

So with a city size of 5 to [-] people, it is really unaffordable.

And this is a process for soldiers to adapt to food stamps and salt stamps.

Of course, if they don't want to spend, but simply want to exchange for food stamps or salt stamps, and want to take them home to spend, Li Tai will not object, or even ask for it.

After all, when they returned to Chang'an, it would be even less likely for them to exchange food stamps for food stamps.

After all, there is no shortage of food in Chang'an now, so wouldn't it be good to exchange for other living supplies?
So one month later, Li Jing was stunned when he saw that he almost didn't need to order himself, and his soldiers basically exchanged all the seized food stamps for Li Tai's hand-drawn food stamps.

However, before Li Jing came back to his senses, Li Tai approached Li Jing again and said, "Director Li, I have a list here, please help me to count it.

If soldiers need it, they can use my food stamps and salt stamps to go to the designated market in Chang'an to exchange for daily necessities at a price nine floors lower than the market price. This can be regarded as my heart for the soldiers! "

Li Jing looked at Li Tai with very complicated eyes. Although he couldn't understand Li Tai's operation, Li Jing still said to the generous Li Tai,

"King Yan, have you made a lot of money?"

"It's convenient for others and convenient for yourself. They are all for the country. There is no gain or not!" Li Tai said sincerely.
