Rebirth of the best little prince

"Reporting to my little prince, everything is fine in Luoyang. After the last expansion, the people of Luoyang can already live in thatched huts to avoid the cold. Moreover, this year is definitely a bumper harvest year. In addition, the surplus food for Yangzhou is enough for Luoyang to recuperate. Now, I believe that in another year or two, Luoyang will definitely be several times more prosperous than it is now." Di Renjie has this self-confidence. According to Li Yunfei's policies, completing step by step will definitely make Luoyang the economic center of Datang. Think about Di Renjie I feel very excited.

"It's so good, Huaiying, you have done a good job as the governor. I will definitely recommend you in front of the father in the future, so that you can go on a bigger stage to display your talents. I know you are a great talent." People, but the character is not enough, let's talk about it after a good hardening in Luoyang now," Li Yunfei nodded in satisfaction when he heard Di Renjie's reward, as long as the people support him, Li Yunfei believes that other resistances can be overcome one by one.

"Xie, my lord, I know who I am. I'm very happy to be able to serve the people of Luoyang today. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be with my lord forever," Di Renjie heard Li Yunfei say so. He said that he was very grateful in his heart, he didn't expect that Li Yunfei was thinking of himself all the time, thinking that he wanted to plot against Li Yunfei at the beginning, this really made him feel ashamed.

"Li Zhen, how is the economy in Luoyang at this time? I heard that businessmen from many places have been attracted here, so it won't cause any confusion." I believe that as soon as my preferential policies for merchants come out, many merchants will inevitably be attracted, but it seems that the development of things has far exceeded my expectations, and some of them have developed too much.

"Little lord, as you said, the status of merchants is very low, but after the little lord implemented in Luoyang to make the status of merchants equal to that of workers, some small and medium-sized merchants flock to Luoyang, and merchants from various industries can be said to be overwhelmed. It’s just that some big businessmen have their own family businesses in the local area, and many of them set up shops and properties in Luoyang tentatively. It was because Li Yunfei believed in Li Zhen that he entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility. It seemed that Li Zhen did a good job, and Li Yunfei nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, as long as they are law-abiding, Luoyang will always welcome these serious businessmen. Please remember that as long as you find any speculators who make a fortune in disasters, you must be severely punished and let them know what it means to be powerful," although Li Yunfei knew that businessmen were very serious. Promoting economic development is of great help, but Li Yunfei knows that businessmen are chasing profits, and there is no profit. Only by obeying the law can Luoyang develop better.

"Don't worry, my lord, these small and medium merchants are easy to deal with, but those big merchants are a bit difficult to deal with, especially those salt merchants from the south. These guys are all very rich and very good at bribing people. Just sent me a lot of presents. Today, knowing that the little prince is coming back, they even made a fool of themselves and packed up the whole Tianranju. They want to hold a banquet for you, but what they don’t know is that this Tianranju is the property of the little prince, heh, heh, but it is worth mentioning that these salt merchants have the shadow of the Dugu Clan behind them, so it is better for the little prince not to offend unless it is absolutely necessary," Li Zhen Hearing Li Yunfei talk about managing merchants, it really gave me a headache. Those small merchants welcomed Li Yunfei's policies, but those big merchants didn't buy it very much.

"Oh, salt merchants, it seems that you are really rich guys. What the emperor said is true. Although salt merchants pay more taxes than other merchants every year, those taxes are negligible compared to the income of salt merchants. Regardless, what's even worse is that the salt merchants are serious about tax evasion, but it's a pity that these salt merchants are meticulous in their work, and it's impossible to catch them easily," Li Yunfei heard the salt merchants, Li Yunfei couldn't help feeling refreshed, Li Yunfei remembered that Li Shimin was still worrying about these people.

In fact, these salt merchants can be said to be official merchants, because salt is an indispensable existence for people, and it is impossible for the state to allow private individuals to operate it, but these salt merchants, although they obey the law on the surface, secretly smuggle salt , used to make huge profits, private salt is more substandard table salt, but the common people don't know this, they just think it's cheap and they will sell it naturally, which makes the salt merchants not know that they have leaked it and reduce taxes. It's a pity that salt The merchants are all out of nostrils. It is really difficult to knock the mouths of these people. Li Yunfei knows that Datang's treasury is not rich at this time. , It can also fill the deficit of the national treasury. There have been many disasters in the past few years, and the treasury has almost been exhausted.

"Who said it wasn't? Little prince, you haven't seen that those salt merchants are all slick, and they spend a lot of money. They are rich owners at first glance." Seeing that Li Yunfei cared so much about the salt merchants, Li Zhen couldn't help being puzzled He took a quick look at Zhang Han. In his opinion, the salt merchants were nothing more than some rich upstarts, and he didn't need to care about it at all. After all, the salt merchants were operated by the state.

"It's just,,,,,, aren't the salt merchants all in the coastal area, and I remember my father said that most of the salt merchants are near Yangzhou, how did they come to Luoyang?" Li Yunfei gave Li Zhen a strange look, not understanding Why did the salt merchants come to Luoyang? In terms of convenient transportation, Luoyang is actually far inferior to Yangzhou. I am still very puzzled that the salt merchants came to Luoyang and invited themselves to dinner.

"I heard from them that there was a plague in Yangzhou a few days ago, and after the investigation by the prefect of Yangzhou, it seemed that these salt merchants were too troubled, so they simply came to Luoyang. This is also the reason why Dewey developed the Cao Gang very well. It can be said that water transportation is not inferior to any place in the south, so it is not surprising that these salt merchants choose to come here, and who told us that Luoyang is too kind to merchants," Li Zhen also fought with these salt merchants. I know that the salt merchants can't stay in Yangzhou anymore, so I came to Luoyang from Yangzhou. It's just that I can't be sure about Luoyang's attitude, so I invited Li Yunfei to find out.

"I do know that there is no good wine and no good banquet. The salt merchants invited me this time. They must have no good intentions. We will talk about these things later. Let's talk about other aspects of Luoyang first. , Chunfeng, in terms of agriculture, I don’t think I need to say anything. Food is the most important thing. For farmers, farm tools and weather are the key to the decision of sowing and harvesting. I let you manage this aspect, you should understand me Let's put your best effort into it." Li Yunfei turned his head and looked at Li Chunfeng. To be honest, he has great expectations for Li Chunfeng. Li Yunfei knows that Li Chunfeng's achievements in astronomy can be said to be unmatched by others, but he doesn't know what Li Chunfeng thinks. .

"My lord, I naturally understand. Don't worry, my lord. I have no dissatisfaction. I have formed a department dedicated to observing the weather. As long as there is any change in the weather, I will post a notice as soon as possible, and let the farmers do it as soon as possible." Be ready, and the farm tools have been modified according to the requirements of the little prince, and the farmers are full of praise, not only saves trouble but also saves effort, this time it can achieve such a bumper harvest and it has a lot to do with these," Li Chunfeng stroked Smoothing his beard, Li Chunfeng almost understood Li Yunfei's intentions when Li Yunfei asked him to take over the job. Now that he decided to leave the mountain, Li Chunfeng would naturally assist Li Yunfei with all his strength.

"Chunfeng is doing business, I am naturally relieved, Chunfeng, I want you to finish the matter in hand as soon as possible, because soon it may be time for you to change from Confucian uniforms to military uniforms. I don't know how the Luoyang army is training. Yes," Li Yunfei nodded when he heard Li Chunfeng's words, and he still believed in Li Chunfeng, especially Li Yunfei was very satisfied that Li Chunfeng could understand his own thoughts.

What Li Yunfei said made Li Chunfeng very excited. It is finally time for him to show his talents. Li Chunfeng has always wanted to do so. It is a pity that he did not have this opportunity. But since Li Yunfei said so, he will not be aimless. I probably guessed that what Li Yunfei said probably came from the north. Although Li Chunfeng has never left Luoyang, how can the world's affairs be hidden from him? While Li Chunfeng was excited, he was also looking forward to the early arrival of this day. It's time to show off your ambitions.

"Master, let me tell the story, hey, hey, you don't know, my overlord army has grown to more than 3000 people, all of them are selected by me for training, and they can definitely become the trump card of our Luoyang army, um However, the training of the cavalry archers is still a bit unsatisfactory. Those guys just have an appearance, but if they really match up with the cavalry archers on the grassland, they are really weak." When Lu Zhishen heard Li Yunfei talking about the army, he immediately He jumped up, and then he couldn't wait to speak loudly. When he talked about the Overlord Army, his face was full of excitement, but when it came to the cavalry archers Li Yunfei asked him to train, he felt a little squeaky.

"Zhishen, you have to know that time waits for no one. At the beginning, I asked you to train cavalry archers to deal with those cavalry on the grassland, but you have not experienced the tempering of war. Those cavalry archers are difficult to form, but you have to continue Just work hard," Li Yunfei looked at Lu Zhishen and frowned and said, Li Yunfei spent a lot of effort in forming the cavalry archers, so he couldn't give up halfway.
