Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 479
To be honest, after arriving in ancient times, Li Tai understood a little bit why the ancient times had to monopolize things like drinks.

Because wine is so profitable, or in ancient times, in addition to gold, things like wine also have financial attributes.

Other things more or less have a shelf life, but wine increases in value over time.

Whether the taste of wine will get better and better with the age of precipitation is a matter of different opinions and wisdom.

Even in modern times, unopened famous wines are used as financial collateral in banks.

After that, those wineries discovered that the wine can still be used in this way, and even pushed out the so-called vintage wine value index.

It has begun to completely financialize the wine industry, and hoarding wine to increase its value has become a common tactic in the wine industry.

But not to mention, the biggest reason for the IQ tax on alcoholic beverages is that the shelf life of alcoholic beverages is indeed terrifying.

In the Tang Dynasty, if the food was stored for too long and it would go bad, it would be better to make it all at once into wine, which could be used as medicinal alcohol for military use, and then sold to foreign ethnic minorities.

After all, there are not many things to keep out the cold in the north in this era. If you can drink a glass of wine for three meals a day, it is still very comfortable.

Not only in normal life, but in the army, if they have to patrol and stand guard in winter, the soldiers might be able to drink a small glass of wine to warm up when they eat extra meals.

Therefore, Li Tai is not afraid of wasting these grains when they are stored.

In this era, wine can solve most of the problems of overproduction. After all, industrialization has not yet started, but agricultural products are the real mainstream in the agricultural society.

Li Shimin watched Li Tai leave, and couldn't help stroking his beard.

To be honest, Li Shimin did not expect Li Tai to actively promote the Goguryeo plan, and even Li Tai took the initiative to propose to become the general logistics.

Li Shimin does not deny Li Tai's ability, especially as Li Tai said, with him in charge of logistics, whether it is the Grand Canal or Youzhou, they can be completely dispatched according to Li Tai's wishes.

Changing to other people does not mean that it cannot be done, but there will definitely be problems such as running-in during the process.

But only with Li Tai in charge, the entire system of agricultural institutions cultivated by him can be maximized.

Li Shimin took a deep breath. If the crusade against Goguryeo can go smoothly, then Qingque will be able to become the prince because of his meritorious service.

If the crusade is unfavorable, it is okay to suppress him for a few years, after all, who told him that he has not yet had a son!

Du Ruhui, Liu Ji, and Cui Renshi understood that after Wei Wang's persuasion, the sage was now more determined about the conquest of Goguryeo.

Not to mention being a saint, even if he is himself, now that he has heard the plan of the King of Wei, isn't he eager to attack Goguryeo?

After all, King Wei's arrangements from beginning to end were too comprehensive.

When Li Tai returned to Wei Wangfu, he immediately called Peacock, and asked her to complete the handover of the matter at hand, go to Luoyang to raise wheat and corn, and then use the corn as a cover to transport the wheat to Youzhou for storage.

At the same time, let Lu Chengji go to Goguryeo again, start selling low-priced wheat to Goguryeo, buy high-priced specialties, and buy local pro-Tang people in Goguryeo, let them go to preach for greater benefits next year.

Goguryeo should encourage the people to go to the mountains to collect ginseng antler and various local specialties this year. As for food, it is cheaper to buy food from Datang.

After all, Tianjin has been open for so many years, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it never fought a war with Goguryeo.

Although Li Shimin wanted to restore the territory of the Han Dynasty and surpass the achievements of the Sui Dynasty, as far as the bottom of the society was concerned, the opening of Tianjin Port and the Goguryeo Treaty Port between Youzhou and Goguryeo made the exchanges between the people very friendly.

Therefore, between the two sides, it is natural to cultivate a horse who advocates peace between the two countries.

For them, the relationship between the two countries is close, and their business can grow bigger and bigger, but if a war breaks out between the two countries, it will be far away, and their current status may not be able to be maintained.

Under such circumstances, there are many people who advocate peace between the two countries.

Li Tai even offered to increase the supply of Tang grain to Goguryeo, and at the same time increase the output and price of various specialties of Goguryeo. For those who are engaged in this market transaction, they will only continue to increase production in this area.

After all, whether it is buying low-priced grain or selling high-priced Koguryo specialties, it is beneficial to these compradors themselves.

As for how many farmers in Goguryeo may not be able to survive this disaster year through this process, or the economy of Goguryeo may fall into a situation dominated by the Tang Dynasty, these compradors will not care about it. All they care about is profit. That's all.

Although Li Tai may not think highly of these guys, it has to be said that it is very convenient to use this kind of guys who will actively cooperate with Datang's strategy to assist them without paying any money.

"Your Majesty, when I went to Luoyang, I left it to Wu Mei to do the food collection. She has been coordinating Luoyang's chamber of commerce and managing Luoyang's futures market all these years. She is the person most familiar with this matter!" Peacock said,
"As for me, I will go directly to Youzhou, convey the meaning of King Wei to Li Chunfeng, and be responsible for supervising the construction of the granary in Youzhou area."

"Yes!" Li Tai nodded and said, "In addition to the granary, you start to open stores with winter heating facilities in Youzhou or Tianjin, selling down jackets, cotton clothes, coal and other things as a cover, and make preparations for winter heating. .”

"How much do you need to prepare?" Peacock couldn't help asking.

"Whether it's food, food, or heating appliances, buy them according to the share of more than 10 people!" Li Tai said.

Even if these things are hoarded, they won't go bad quickly, at worst, they can be bought and sold slowly in the next time.

Anyway, in the northern region, whether it is food or supplies to keep out the cold, it is always a just-needed product that someone needs.

Peacock was slightly taken aback when he heard the number, and nodded solemnly.

Obviously, she has also discovered that this is probably a material reserve for the crusade against Goguryeo.

However, King Wei has never done things in a secretive way, but on the bright side. Whether it is selling Goguryeo corn as a cover, or increasing the construction of shops in Youzhou to keep out the cold, it is all to cover the war. The former material transportation is conspicuous.

After all, if you just want to send people from Chang'an to Youzhou, if you really need to march in a hurry, you may not need a month, but with all kinds of logistics materials added, it will take at least three months scheduling.

But now, food, grass and cold-proof materials can be transported to Youzhou first. If a war really starts, the court only needs to send the army over there, and the preparation time for the opponent can be said to be much less.

After listening to Li Tai's order, Peacock saluted and left for Luoyang.

But Li Tai didn't continue to intervene in this matter. Apart from Li Tai's belief that Peacock could complete the preliminary work, more importantly, he was not the kind of person who liked to intervene in his subordinates to do specific tasks.

Taking a step back, these are just preparations, and Li Shimin has no intention of attacking Goguryeo now.

Although the plan for Goguryeo has been launched this year, but the real detonation of the thunder that he bought is because Datang really ordered the crusade against Goguryeo. Now more is to give Goguryeo sweets!
In the rest of Li Tai's days, besides spending half a day with Wan'er every day, he spent more time running on the road.

After all, it is determined that there is a high possibility of a crusade against Goguryeo next year, so the significance of the construction of this road from Chang'an to Luoyang has risen to a higher level.

If the construction of this road was originally based on economic and political considerations, but now it has been used for military purposes, and it is almost an imminent military use. The whole meaning of this is different.

And when Li Tai started to practice, to be honest, Wang Zhenru was really taken aback.

After all, for a long time, after the king of Wei made the plan, he basically became the hands-off shopkeeper, and all the things were handed over to the people below.

But this time, King Wei really got started, and he didn't see any problems with King Wei.

For example, King Wei still arranged the overall arrangement for himself, so that he could get away from other things.

Under such circumstances, Wang Zhenru can make dynamic corrections to the overall project at any time according to changes in the project quantity.

Instead of relying entirely on one's own spiritual talent in the past, complete this aspect of planning as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Although spiritual talent is an important part of one's own ability, Wang Zhenru knows very well that with this spiritual talent, at most, he has the ticket to become a high-ranking official.

But after all, I am not a tool person to activate my spiritual talent. Such a person cannot become a prime minister in charge of the world.

Therefore, since King Wei can now have time to help him manage other things, he can also work harder on this aspect.

Soon, as Li Tai really intervened in the management of this aspect, Wang Zhenru soon discovered that the efficiency of the entire project began to be significantly improved, but if it was said that Wei Wang really made any specific policy reforms, it didn't seem to matter. No.

Wang Zhenru soon discovered that Wei Wang did not sit dead in the office, but inspected the entire engineering system of the project, and everything he did was ordinary and trivial.

Every day I meet whoever I meet, I will take the initiative to say hello, encourage the discouraged, praise the hardworking and capable, chat with the workers during the break, and talk about the significance of building this road, which makes people feel excited.

Bumps and bumps are indispensable throughout the construction process. If something happens, such as someone is injured, King Wei will come to this person's side to express his condolences at the latest and the next day.

King Wei didn't make any promises to these people, and he didn't even make any extra compensation with his own privileges.

It is to solve the problem according to the rules and regulations set by the corvee, as if anyone can do it, but it just makes the corvee work enthusiastically.

Originally, they were either working for welfare or for the wages of the corvees, but now, these people seem to be working for the king of Wei, or even for the dreams in their hearts.

Wang Zhenru didn't know what the answer was, but it was undeniable that even working for King Wei was actually pretty good.

Li Tai is well aware of his abilities, but in fact his abilities are quite average. The phrase "the posture of a man in the middle" is not a fingertip universe, but the truth.

Even in modern society, I am just a hard talent, and to the whole society, I am just a screw that can be replaced at any time, at best it can be regarded as an excellent (taxable) screw.

But after all, I was born at the bottom, and I know what the bottom people need. In reality, it is just to be fair when struggling, to be cared for when I am wronged, and to have hope in my life.

Therefore, Li Tai's management method for them is also very simple, based on their reaction to themselves based on their monarch's talent.

As long as I can know them, I can feel their emotions and inquire about their status through the monarch's talent.

Then give them affirmation for those who work hard, and give fairness to those who are wronged during the construction process. As for those who were injured on duty, Li Tai appeared immediately and assured them that he would give them protection according to the regulations.

It's that simple, at most, Li Tai's feedback through his monarch talent is quite timely.

And it is this kind of timely feedback that allows these workers to start doing things to maintain their enthusiasm to the greatest extent.

It's as if Li Tai's talent as a monarch can make the soldiers of the same belief exert the greatest lethality.

Now Li Tai is still a little bit pragmatic about his talent, and inadvertently let these corvees show the highest enthusiasm, which makes these corvees work harder, naturally.

And Li Tai looked at these corvees working so hard. After all, their hearts are fleshy, so he immediately bought mung bean soup, red date soup and other decoctions for these corvees to nourish and nourish Qi. Extra meals.

The benefits flowing from Li Tai's fingers moved these corvees even more.

Their enthusiasm for working is even higher, and this high enthusiasm has promoted the advancement of the project.

This made Wang Zhenru's project plan revised several boards, especially the current version, which will be able to build this road in April next year. It's just that these people have to work according to 996 without 7. OK.

Li Tai looked at it, and quickly asked Wang Zhenru to change the plan. There is no need to work so hard, as long as the Chidao can be built in May next year, you will be destroyed by humanity if you do this in the 21st century!

Because the project is extended to May, in addition to the sixth day of the six-day week, they can rest, as long as they complete the monthly project volume, there will be two to three days of rest in the end for them to rest.

After all, I am just a feudal landlord, not a capitalist, so there is no need to force people to death.

　After the next update is more certain, don't wait any longer, let's watch it tomorrow.
