Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　When the Lingnan area is opened up, the land will be owned by the common people, which is good for most common people.

　　Although it costs 10 dollars to cross once, it is not a small amount.

　　But thinking that the land that was reclaimed from the wasteland would belong to him, every citizen was full of energy and wanted to reclaim a piece of land that belonged to him.

　　There are even some poor tenant farmers who can't afford to eat directly want to immigrate to the Lingnan area.

　　Huang Zhongning is one of them. Their family comes from a small village in Chang'an County, Chang'an City.

　　It was originally considered a small asset, but because of the drought and locust plague, he had to sell all the land in his hands, and the family of seven could survive until this year.

　　When a disaster occurs, the poor in the world will perish, and the middle-income family will start to become poor, such as Huang Zhongning's family.

　　On the contrary, the rich will become richer, and it has remained the same from ancient times to the present.

　　"My child's father, does the land that has been reclaimed really belong to us?" Huang Fu, who learned about this, couldn't help but be a little worried.

　　It took two days for Huang Zhongning and his father to build a few thatched huts on a mountainside, and they were able to settle down in Lingnan temporarily.

　　"The government issued an announcement, and it should be true. Haha, although our family spent a total of [-] dollars and came to the Lingnan area, if we can cultivate more than ten acres of fertile land, our family of seven will not worry about no food in the future. "Huang Zhongning said happily.

　　"Yeah. We have to quickly occupy a good position. There are already many people in Chang'an City planning to move to Lingnan. In our village alone, there are more than [-] households." Father Huang said slowly.

　　It's understandable that the homeland is hard to leave, but if you can't survive, who cares about that.

　　What's more, with the fruit of the door, Lingnan and Chang'an are only a door away.Of course, for the rich, they naturally don't want to leave the prosperous Chang'an.

　　Most of the people who moved from Chang'an City came together after being unable to survive. Human beings are gregarious creatures after all.

　　Huang Zhongning's plan is to plant more than ten acres of wheat, more than ten acres of vegetable land, and more than ten acres of mulberry orchards on the land reclaimed here.

　　As for the hills where they live, if they have money, they can raise a batch of chickens and ducks.

　　In the Lingnan area, there are many mountains.On the mountain, weeds and vegetables can be said to be extremely abundant, and raising livestock will certainly save a lot of trouble.

　　As for the vegetable garden of more than ten acres, it can be used to fill the stomach before the crops can be harvested.

　　If you can't finish it, you can sell it in Chang'an City and use it to subsidize your family.

　　The mulberry garden is mainly used for raising silkworms and weaving cloth, and in the Tang Dynasty, cloth and silk can also be used as coins.

　　Huaxia has been a man farming and a woman weaving since ancient times, and it has never changed much.

　　Of course, reclaiming dozens of acres of wasteland will definitely be a major project.

　　For modern people, it can only be done manually, no one can afford it.

　　However, in ancient times, some tenant farmers had to cultivate more than ten or twenty acres of land to support their family.

　　In ancient times, the yield per mu of grain was too low, and only two or three hundred catties of grain could be harvested from one mu of land.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

　　And for the two tiers allocated to the tenant farmers, one mu of land is only [-] to [-] catties of grain.

　　"Grandma, Lingnan is so warm. I found that Chang'an is so cold. One piece of clothes is enough now. The only bad thing is that there are so many mosquitoes that I couldn't sleep well last night. They bit me all over my body." A seven or eight-year-old The child, said pitifully.

　　"Qing'er, when grandma knits the curtain with twine, you don't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes." Mother Huang smiled kindly.

　　"Haha, when the weeds on the mountain are cleaned up, there will be many fewer mosquitoes." Huang Zhongning laughed.

...... 0

　　"My child, please be careful, I don't know if there will be wild animals on the mountain." Huang Fu said.

　　"Haha, if there are any beasts, there are quite a few rabbits and pheasants. If we can catch a few, we can improve the food." Grandpa said with a smile.

　　"Father, it's better for us to be careful. After all, it's not the old village. If there are beasts attacking, we can only rely on ourselves. The thatched cottage and the yard must be surrounded by fences."

　　Although their family chose a small mountain that was only ten miles away from the gate of Menmenguo, it was sparsely populated, and it was estimated that only one or two families could be seen for several miles.

　　Unless you wait for a while, the population of people emigration increases.

　　There are thousands of households like Huang Zhongning's family. They have gradually become accustomed to the climate in the Lingnan area and the local environment since they were uneasy and uneasy.

　　A large number of landless tenant farmers migrated from Chang'an to the barren Lingnan.

　　Helping others to grow the land for a lifetime, the desire of the tenant farmers for the land is beyond the imagination of many people.Four.

Chapter 291

　　Not only their family, but also a large number of tenant farmers around Chang'an City migrated to Lingnan, causing all the landlords and nobles to be stunned for a while.

　　In fact, not only Chang'an, but the landowners of the whole country hold a lot of land, and the land owned by the common people is actually pitiful.

　　Most of the people encountered natural and man-made disasters and had to sell their land, so most of the land and resources were concentrated in the hands of the landlords.

　　The poor get poorer, the rich get richer.

　　Most of the people support their families by being tenant farmers for the landlord's family.However, the land is so important to the people.

　　Now Li Er's announcement has been issued, except for Anping County.This caused more than [-] tenant farmers from several counties around Chang'an City to migrate to the barren Lingnan area to open up wasteland.

　　And the government responsible for the registration found that the number of immigrant tenant farmers was increasing day by day.

　　The originally barren place gradually developed into a small town with a population of tens of thousands.

　　The main Lingnan area has abundant water sources and a warm climate, attracting many people.

　　The people do not have to worry about the lack of water sources, the abundant fresh water resources, and the occurrence of droughts.

　　Although there are a lot of mosquitoes, if you count the advantage that the reclaimed land is owned by you, it is not a disadvantage at all.

　　As a result, at the beginning of spring ploughing, some landlords had farmland, but there were not enough tenant farmers to help with the cultivation.

　　Even if the share of the tenant farmers is increased, there will still be hundreds of thousands of vacancies in the labor force.

　　Many landlords had to recruit coolies, hire people to farm for ten dollars a day, or buy slaves.

　　The labor remuneration in Chang'an City has risen by five layers in a short period of time, and the price of slaves has even doubled.

　　On the contrary, the price of the land around Chang'an has dropped by two floors, which is unimaginable.

　　For example, Kunlun slaves used to be able to buy a slave with about four calibers, but now they can't buy it when they rise to seven or eight calibers.

　　In addition, the last crusade against the Eastern Turks, although a large number of Turkic slaves were harvested, but not many people bought them for a long time, and now they have been sent to build roads.

　　Of course, most of the Turks are rebellious, and it is normal for the common people to dare not buy them.

　　"Brother Yao, you're right. Since a few days ago, the price of land has dropped dramatically. If you buy back the money you got from the [-] acres of land you sold some time ago, you can make a little bit more money. Thousands of passes." Qin Qiong said.

　　"What do you do when you buy it back? The price of the land should continue to fall." Li Jing shook his head.

　　"No, the price of one acre of land is quite low now. The existence of the fruit of the door allows Chang'an to connect with the whole world of the Tang Dynasty. I think the prosperity of Chang'an will attract rich people from all over the world, and the people will continue to I have come to live in Chang'an, so I don't think the price of Chang'an land will be too low." Qin Qiong naturally didn't believe it very much.

　　"I understand what you are saying. But also because of the ability of the door, the land will become very cheap. In fact, for the common people, the decline in the price of land is not a bad thing. Shubao, don't forget, Your Majesty. In addition to being able to develop the land in Lingnan, you also think about the Japanese country opposite the sea, or there is still a large area of ​​fertile land in Linyi that has not been cultivated..." If you count the grasslands in the north, the big Tang's territory was already so large that Li Jing couldn't imagine it.

　　A prosperous era will come, an era in which the common people can own their own piece of land and be able to eat and clothe themselves.

　　In the past, relying on farmland to accumulate wealth, Li Jing thought that it was no longer suitable for the current situation.

　　Although the land can produce a large amount of grain every year, with the spread of several thousand catties of fruit per mu, and the people owning their own land, I believe that the price of grain will become very cheap in the near future.

　　For example, he has several thousand acres of land in his hands, and he can harvest more than [-] catties of grain per mu after deducting all the costs a year, and he can indeed earn hundreds of tons a year.

　　However, without the help of the tenant farmers, the price of grain will drop, the cost will undoubtedly increase by two or three times, and the grain will not be sold for much money.

　　And look at the barbecue restaurant that Uncle Bao just opened, he can easily make more than ten thousand dollars a day.

　　A barbecue restaurant actually earns more in a month than thousands of acres of land in a year.

　　"Well, the land in Linyi is not much different from that in Lingnan." Shu Bao nodded.

　　Moreover, there is no country of its own in Linyi, there is no huge power, and some are just some uncivilized natives. Datang can indeed occupy it and let the people develop and cultivate.

　　His Majesty is ambitious, the ability of the national teacher is unfathomable, and there is a national teacher to assist the Tang Dynasty.

　　Li Jing understands that this is just the beginning, and that Datang will not know what kind of giant country it will become in the future, and it will even create an unprecedented prosperity. .

Chapter 292

　　"Your Majesty, since the opening of the Lingnan Gate, according to statistics, [-] households in Chang'an have moved there." Fang Xuanling reported.

　　There are about [-] people in number, but only less than [-] mu of Lingnan area has been reclaimed.

　　In terms of the area of ​​Lingnan, the land of more than [-] mu is not worth mentioning at all, about the size of a small county around Chang'an City.

　　"Very good. The wasteland in the Lingnan area is also empty. It is better to reclaim it for the people so that they can have their own land." Li Er said with satisfaction.

　　"But His Majesty's move has aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles and landlords in Chang'an City. Because of the departure of the tenant farmers, many people have fields in their hands. There are no tenant farmers to cultivate." Fang Xuanling said with a wry smile.

　　Among them, one of his relatives could only buy a few slaves at a high price, and then had to arrange a dozen or so servants in his family to be responsible for farming.

　　25 Furthermore, the nobles were fooled and bought a lot of grasslands in the north, dispersing a large number of people.

　　"Your Majesty, I think that the construction of the road from Chang'an to Yinshan should be postponed for a while, and the Turkic slaves responsible for the road construction should be brought back to Chang'an. Now it is a very important spring ploughing." Du Ruhui also expressed his opinion.

　　"Well, if there are tens of thousands of Turkic slaves, the situation can be eased. Of course, it is only a temporary solution, not the root cause." Fang Xuanling said.

　　In just half a month, tens of thousands of households have migrated. It is conceivable that people who have no land in Chang'an will definitely migrate to the Lingnan area in large numbers.

　　If this continues, the large amount of land in Chang'an City will not be planted, and it will even spread to the homes of hundreds of officials.

　　"Isn't the fleet organized by the National Division going to sea? Last time we bought two or three hundred Silla maids in Silla. I think we can buy more slaves next time we go to sea." Cheng Yaojin said.

　　"What Zhijie said is indeed a good solution." Zhangsun Wuji laughed.

　　"The slaves in Silla Baekje are very cheap, it is best to buy them in large quantities." Li Er nodded.

　　If they could buy hundreds of thousands of slaves from Japan, Baekje and other countries to help with farming, they would naturally be able to make up for the loss of the tenant farmers.

　　"Hey, sell a large amount of Tang's goods to the Japanese country, earn silver from the Japanese country, and then drop by the way to Baekje, Silla, to buy the slaves there at a low price, and the profit is quite considerable." Cheng Yaojin said happily.

　　There are only two female servants in Xinluo, and the young and middle-aged people are half cheaper than the female servants. You can buy one with the usual money. According to the current market price, you can sell it to Chang'an, and the profit can be increased by seven or eight times.

　　Counting the silver earned by the Japanese country, the profit of one trip to the sea will be at least ten times.

　　If there is the assistance of a door fruit, it would be very convenient to return to Chang'an from the slave trade in Silla.

　　"I don't know if the national teacher will agree to the business of selling slaves." Zhangsun Wuji said.
