The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 250 Trouble After the Locust Plague

"Father, if all the disaster-stricken prefectures are included, [-]% of the grain output will be harvested next year." Li Tai said looking at Li Shimin.

That's right, if the disaster-stricken dozens of state capitals, next year [-]% of the grain production will go to Li Tai.It can be said that Li Tai will definitely make a lot of money.

"Don't tell me you want to exploit the people after the disaster." Li Shimin's face showed anger.

"Father, Qingque will never do anything to exploit the people no matter what. The Qingque collects [-]% of the grain production, not for free. Instead, Qingque wants to provide seeds for everyone." Li Tai explained to Li Shimin.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin's expression eased to a certain extent.Then he opened his mouth and asked Li Tai, "Are you going to plant your corn in these dozen or so state capitals?"

"Father is right. The yield of this corn can reach about [-] catties per mu. Even if Qingque takes away [-]%, the harvest of the people will be better than usual. What's more, Qingque will provide them with high-quality seeds. "Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"This can be regarded as a good way, but I have something to say first. If the people voluntarily plant the corn you provide, then I will not say anything. If I find out that you force the people to plant corn, then I will never let you lightly " Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father, you can rest assured that Qingque will never do anything that is difficult for others." Li Tai nodded and said to Li Shimin.

After Li Tai left the palace, he went to inspect all the disaster relief sites.Seeing that all the disaster relief sites were operating in an orderly manner, Li Tai's hanging heart was finally relieved.

……

Time flies by, and the impact of the locust plague finally slowly passes.Seeing the disfigured land ruined by locusts, the people wept bitterly one by one.

Although this life is saved now, the next thing I will face is how to persist in the autumn harvest next year.This is more than a whole year, who has so much food in storage.

Just when the common people were frowning, the people sent by Li Tai found them.Not only did it provide them with the seeds to rush to plant, but it also ensured that they could reap something in the remaining period of time.

Li Tai also established large-scale breeding farms and vermicelli processing factories in these disaster-stricken areas.After all, Li Tai still has tens of thousands of potatoes that need to be processed.

Starting a business naturally requires workers, so those people affected by the disaster have become workers in Li Tai's industries.

As long as there is work to do, there will naturally be benefits.The common people will not be afraid of going to the pot without food.Then Li Tai provided them with seeds to sow next spring.

It's true that the seeds sown in spring are corn that the common people have never heard of or seen.From a normal point of view, new things are difficult to be accepted by the people.

But in the breeding farm that Li Tai established, it is this corn that feeds the workers.So Li Tai has let the people know about corn in a disguised form.

In addition, most of the common people have no money to buy seeds for the coming year, so they naturally accepted Li Tai's corn seeds.Although it is necessary to give Li Tai [-]% of the harvest, at least it is better than no land.

It's okay for those people who own their own land, but it's hard for those people who rent and plant the land of the landlord's family.Because although they refused to harvest, they still had to give what they wanted to give to the landlord's family.

When Li Tai learned about this situation, he immediately ordered Wei Wang's imperial army to come forward.Semi-coercive persuasion was carried out on those landlords.Get them to accept a plan to defer rent collection.

That is to say, the land rent will not be collected if there is no grain harvest this year, and the land rent for two years will be paid at the same time after the people have a good harvest in the next year.

Most landowners agree to this approach and sign agreements with tenants.But there are exceptions to everything, so naturally there are landlords who disagree.

Their reasoning is very simple. They plant my land and pay me rent. This is a matter of course.They have no harvest and cannot afford to rent.So how should we spend this long year?

For this group of people, Li Tai is also very troubled, if he uses strong means to reason, it will naturally be unreasonable.But it doesn't work to talk nicely to them.

Finally, Li Tai thought of a relatively novel method, that is, Li Tai paid the land rent for the people for the year, and then let the people no longer rent and plant their land.

It is absolutely impossible for those landlords to rely on their own ability to plant those lands.And Li Tai, like Li Shimin, is about to come to the imperial decree, that is, if anyone's land dares to be barren and not cultivated.Then you will be severely punished.Even the property will be confiscated.

In this way, those landlords had no choice but to compromise.Agreeing to Li Tai's conditions, he reluctantly signed a contract with the common people.

After dealing with these matters, Li Tai finally solved one of his heart problems.Finally, I feel relieved to start my next step of development.

The focus of Li Tai's next development is on industry.As a later generation, Li Tai knows better than anyone else the importance of industry to a country.

"Master. According to your account, the Gao family has established a large-scale glass workshop in Jizhou. Glass products are already in the process of development. It is estimated that there will be a breakthrough soon." Gao Ping said to Li Tai.

"This king is going to set up a special department. The main job of this department is to produce and develop some new products. This king will name it Tiangong Pavilion, and the location will be located in Gao's Wuwei Villa." Li Tai said to Gao Ping.

"The Gao family is willing to provide the lord with all the conveniences they can provide. They will fully support the construction of the lord's Tiangong Pavilion." Gao Ping said to Li Tai.

"This Tiangong Pavilion is very simple to build, but it is not so easy to make it operate normally. Because this Tiangong Pavilion requires countless skilled craftsmen, and all walks of life must be involved." Li Tai said to Gao Ping.

At this time, Mo Tiannan, who was sitting on the side, said, "King Wei, the old man understands what you mean a little bit. The best choice is that King Wei can unify the Mo Sect as soon as possible. With the help of the Mo Sect, the establishment of this day Gongge will not be a problem."

Hearing Mo Tiannan's words, Li Tai couldn't help but nodded. The best candidate to establish Tiangong Pavilion is Momen.But how can unifying the Momen sect be achieved overnight.

Leaving aside where the nine major families of the Mo Sect are, even if they are found, will they agree to return to the Mo Sect?

"Mr. Mo is right, but the unification of the Mo sect cannot be completed overnight. Therefore, we must rely on our current ability to build the structure of the Tiangong Pavilion first." Li Tai said to Mo Tiannan.

"What King Wei said is true. At present, not only the structure of the Tiangong Pavilion must be established, but also the Wei family must be rebuilt, because the Wei family will play a vital role in rebuilding the Momen in the future." Mo Tiannan clicked After nodding, he said to Li Tai.

"When the king finishes the matter at hand, he will help Wei Xinyao build the Wei family." Li Tai nodded and said.
