The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Changsun Wuji stopped where he was, got off his horse, and stopped a farmer.

"Brother, may I ask what the people in this farm are doing?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Oh, that's right. It's almost New Year's Day, and the owner is distributing New Year's goods to the farmers. Every household in the farm has one. A family gets six feet of coarse cloth, four eggs, and half a pound of pork."

"The owner of the farm distributes New Year's goods? Every household gets one?"

"Yes, it's not just this year. It's been there in the past two years. It's just that in the past, we were not rich, so we just gave them a token of appreciation. But this year, the things we gave are pretty good. At least the six feet of cloth is enough to make new clothes for my family."

"And the eggs, although they are also from the farm, It is produced in the workshop, but it is very expensive in Chang'an City. How can we ordinary farmers have eaten such good things? It is the New Year, and we are following the master to benefit from it. "

"In that case, the master will have to spend a lot of money." Changsun Wuji said: "I heard that the master of this farm is the King of Jingyang County, and this year he has been granted 5,000 households."

"That was only allocated this year. They have no share of the New Year's goods. We are all old farmers who have been following the master." The man said.

"I see." Changsun Wuji bowed: "Thank you for telling me."

"It's not a big deal. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." The man smiled.

Take the six-foot cloth and go back to make clothes for his wife and children for the New Year.

Changsun Wuji got on the horse, came to the front, and walked with Li Shimin and others again.

"Have you understood?" Li Shimin asked without looking back.

"I found out that it was the Prince of Jingyang who was distributing New Year goods to the farmers in the farm. He said that it was like this every year, but this year they were a little richer, so they gave more things than in previous years." Changsun Wuji said, "The farmers all looked very happy."

"A little richer? Humph, Li Fu, this kid, is more than a little richer."

Thinking of the 130,000 strings of cash, Li Shimin's back teeth clenched.

However, he did a good job distributing New Year goods to the people in the farm.

This kid knows how to make money and is obsessed with money, but he is also generous. He is not stingy with his own people and builds houses and workshops on the farm.

Although it is also to make money for himself, as this kid said, once the workshop is built, people need to be hired, and if people are hired, they have to be paid, providing a livelihood for the people.

This is a little truth of Zhuangzi, but the Tang Dynasty is composed of hundreds of villages and cities, and the details can be seen.

If we want to make the people rich, we need people like Li Fu.

If there are more people like Li Fu in the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't the people have a way to make money?

Li Shimin was riding on his horse, thinking about this question...

In this case, the rich people have to rely on merchants?

Li Shimin frowned when he thought of this.

No, the foundation of the world is agriculture and sericulture...

At the door of the village head's yard, people from the farm gathered here. A table was set up at the door. Lao Zhou sat aside. There was also an accountant sitting next to him. There was a list on the table.

Shitou was helping to distribute things on the side.

When someone came, he would find his name on the list. After making a record, he could go to the side to get something.

Although the village head was old, he was in good spirits. He was busy at the door with a cane and greeted people.

Li Shimin and his group watched the excitement from a distance.

The entrance of the village head's house was already surrounded by a crowd of people, and they didn't plan to go forward.

"There are really a lot of people." Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, there is something you should pay attention to. This year, in Jingyang County, just this area, how much has the population increased compared to previous years? Please check it out."

"Yes." Fang Xuanling bowed and responded.

He understood what Li Shimin meant.

Whether it was Lao Zhou or Shitou, they were busy in the crowd and did not notice Li Shimin and others on the periphery.

"Let's go, let's go to the house of the Prince of Jingyang, it's time to meet the real owner." Li Shimin smiled.

In the house, Li Fu was in the kitchen yard watching the people busy below.

Naturally, he did not ignore the disgusted expressions on their faces.

No matter how Li Fu explained, they still doubted whether pig offal could be eaten.

This smell, just smelling it is enough, and eating it?

This pig intestine, this smell, what's the difference between eating shit.

Why does my husband like this?

After the pig intestines were cleaned out, the smell was not as strong as when they were first brought back.

People who work in the yard can accept this a little bit, but they still don't understand, there is obviously more delicious pork......

Isn't it all meat?

"Keep cleaning, clean it up carefully. I don't want to see the stuffing when we eat it." Li Fu urged.

"Don't worry, my dear." The cook said seriously, "If you don't clean this thing, it will be really..."

There was disgust in his tone.

"Okay, I'll do something else first." Li Fu nodded.

As soon as Li Fu left the kitchen yard, the servants in the front yard came.

"My dear, there are guests outside the house." The servant said.

"Guests? I don't remember receiving any invitations in the past two days?" Li Fu was puzzled, and then he paused. Could it be that Li Shimin brought people here?

"Did the visitor report his name?" Li Fu asked.

"It is said that his surname is Li and he is the second son."

Yes, it is really Li Shimin, His Majesty Li Er.

Li Fu hurried out. Such a big Buddha came, and he had to greet him in person.

Outside the gate of the house, Li Shimin brought Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, followed by four guards, and came to Jingyang County and Li Fu's farm in a simple manner.

Li Fu came to the door and greeted them with a bow.

"Second brother, Zhongshu Ling, Changsun Shangshu, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

"Your Highness."

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji also bowed in return.

"Quick, come in, come in." Li Fu invited them into the house and asked the doorman to greet people and lead the horses to the stables.

"Your farm is very good." Li Shimin said.

"Why does your Majesty say that?" Li Fu asked curiously.

"It's like this. Just now we came to the farm and walked around the village. We happened to see the housekeeper and guards in your house distributing New Year's goods to the farmers at the head of the village." Changsun Wuji said.

"Is that so?" Li Fu said with a smile, "There was such a practice in the past, but in the past, as you know, I was poor, so most of the time it was just a token of appreciation."

"You are quite willing to spend, which is very good." Li Shimin praised.

"If you don't spend, you will not get anything."
