Chapter 468 Chapter 460
"What a lunatic."

Standing by the river, looking at the slaves working underneath, who came from the forest, Su Xi murmured.

Next to Su Xi stood the local sheriff, a 30-year-old middle-aged man with a heroic look.

"I can't help it, I can't be crazy, if I don't work hard, how can I live a good life under my rule next year."

The heroic man said in high spirits.

"It's nothing more than the death of some slaves, and I gave them enough food, and they went back to sleep on the kang, and there was a hot bath.

Gloves were also provided, which was nice and more lenient than most counties. "

The heroic man smiled.

"Brother Liu, what you said makes sense."

The heroic man is named Liu Rengui, a very powerful man with a bright future. Although Su Xi hadn't heard much about him before, it is said that after the local family left, this man quickly rose to prominence. In just five years, he became a county magistrate. Sheriff.

They were on a certain section of the Grand Canal at this time.

After the six ministries of the three provinces allowed the localities to start dredging the rivers, the localities began to dredge the so-called rivers.

As for the river course, a canal will appear as soon as officials from various places draw it.

It's nothing more than a little more work, but we are happy.

At the same time, areas that are not near the Grand Canal are also taking the opportunity given by Li Er to organize the river channels under their command, and several areas are connected in series to build a small canal. .

The large amount of hydraulic transportation is very good for material transfer, and it can also connect the north and the south.

After the canals began to be built in various places, Su Xi got an appointment to go around to observe the construction of the canals and pay attention to avoid any unsolvable problems.

It is also equivalent to inspecting the people.

The more Su Xi goes, the more prosperous Tang Dynasty can be found.

It was almost a year ago, and wherever Su Xi walked, the pastries and meat that the country wanted to distribute had already been distributed.

Although there is no way for every household to eat a large piece of beef and mutton for the meat sold uniformly by the country, every household can still buy a large piece of ham made of meat.

Bacon can basically be given to a family,
Those left behind are mainly farms, pastures, breeding farms and fishing grounds in various places.

Although it is not perfect, it is not comparable to later generations, but it does allow people everywhere to eat meat during the New Year.

After inspecting the river, Su Xi and Liu Rengui strolled back.

Passing by a certain village, more than 30 carts loaded with frozen cattle and sheep were parked there.

Each cart is loaded with two frozen cattle and sheep.

After being slaughtered, the skin has been skinned and bled, and the meat and offal are all covered.

Getting into the water is also necessary.

Since someone invented the way of eating offal, beef offal and pig offal have also become a kind of meat.

As long as it is meat, it is the best supplement for those who could not afford meat before.

Moreover, after rinsing the offal, scalding it in a spicy oil pan is definitely delicious in the world.

Officials from all over the country ordered from the Beijiang Ranch through the official, and naturally they all had to be sent back.

"Quyanghou, go over and have a meal."

Su Xi was puzzled, eat, what to eat, it's not time for meal.

Liu Rengui smiled slightly and motioned him to wait a moment.

Not long after, a group of people came over carrying hot water and a cauldron.

The offal of more than 30 cattle, sheep and pigs was treated separately.

Put the oil first, heat the oil and put it spicy, then throw the cleaned offal into it, after it changes color and taste, put various vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob and some cabbage, stir-fry again and add water, cover Cover until the water boils.

The method is very wild, and there is a lot of water, one pot and one pot.

"Some of them will be sold, but most of them are eaten like this. Anyway, they are cooked a few times a year. As long as the cost of selling meat is recovered, or a small compensation, we officials are content."

Liu Rengui and Su Xi each carried two big steamed buns, took a bowl of water, and hid beside them to eat.

The same goes for the guards around. The common people bring their own bowls, and the steamed buns are steamed in a big steamer next to them.

Su Xi didn't speak, and ate wildly. It was very good and delicious.

After making two big steamed buns and eating a bowl of offal and vegetables, Su Xi felt very comfortable.

"The spiciness is just right, not too greasy, and the dishes are all cooked, and the taste is great."

Su Xi gave her own evaluation.

"Is it the same in other counties?"

Su Xi thinks that such activities that are beneficial to increase the relationship between the government and the people should be held more often.

Only in this way can everyone live a better life and the people will be more obedient.

"Yes, similar activities exist in every region, as long as they are not too poor, they will be held.

There are wine and meat, and the price is not high. We have applied for three provinces and six ministries in the past, and His Majesty agreed. The premise is that the local officials must ensure that their people can live well.

It is best to eat meat every meal. "

Liu Rengui smiled.

Su Xi also smiled.

Of course, Li Er hopes that the people can eat meat every meal. When one day the people can eat meat every meal, it means that the world is basically stable. If there are no major problems within 50 years, the country will be safe.

According to the character of the Chinese people, if some day foreign invaders want to destroy their jobs, the common people will destroy their jobs first.

"The emergence of high-yield grains has led the people to have large-scale births. In order not to reduce the welfare of the people, I hope that the Marquis of Quyang can give more suggestions to His Majesty to expand the territory and improve production efficiency, otherwise there will be a situation where enjoyment is easy to suffer."

Liu Rengui pointed to a group of children who were holding corn and gnawing on them not far away, and said seriously.

Su Xi nodded.

That's right, the best way to solve the slavery system and the current shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty is to have an explosion of productivity, so that all the people can enjoy a sufficient level of treatment.

As long as the standard of living does not decline, the common people will not care about the current system.

Once the standard of living declines, the common people are the biggest mob.

The reason for the collapse of the Chinese system is that the standard of living cannot keep up.

Now the standard of living in Datang is gradually improving. At the very least, there is enough food and meat to eat. The next step is to have meat every meal, so that the people have new clothes to wear.

"Nowadays, the common people can buy one or two new clothes for the New Year, but they are still reluctant to buy them in normal times.

The tooling issued by the factory has become the favorite of the people and the most popular style. "

Su Xi said with a headache.

Who would have thought that people would still be unwilling to buy too many clothes after they had spare money.

His family's clothes, and many clothes manufacturers are now living on orders from factories, and there are very few scattered ones.

Lively speaking, compared with the population of Datang, there is a big gap.

Instead, it was the slave bindings in various places that made the largest list.

The slaves change their clothes three or four times a year. The country doesn't want to change them, but there is no other way. They can't be frozen to death, let them be dirty, and insult the country's image.

And the main thing is not to let them get sick and die.

Let them feel that the life of slaves is better than the life they used to be, and they will yearn for the identity of the people of Datang even more.
