The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty
Chapter 479 What I saw on the road
In the blink of an eye, the Liu brothers had already set out for sixty-five days, and now they have arrived in Liaodong. They can also feel that it is chilly here, but these people are still very energetic, and no one is worried about it along the way. During their free time, they were all getting to know each other.
"This is the territory of Goguryeo. It's a pity that you are late, and the land in Jiangbei has nothing to do with us. All of it has been bought by His Highness Taisun. Have you seen the people farming over there? These people belong to His Highness. slave."
After leaving the Guanzhong, the plain area here was really too big. The land they had lived in Guanzhong for a long time was all small. Basically, a landowner with two to three hundred acres was considered a big landowner. But after arriving in Liaodong, two or three hundred acres of land were considered a big landowner. A hundred acres of land is really nothing. Of course, the land here can only be harvested once a year. Even if Li Xiang's special seeds are used, it can only be guaranteed to be harvested three times every two years.
If you want to get two crops a year, you have to continue going south. The weather problem is not something that ordinary people can solve.
After listening to the coachman's words, these people all became envious. His Highness is about the same age as us. How can he achieve such great achievements? From where we stand, we can't see the edge of the past. How much land is this?
"Our Highness is really brave, he actually sentenced all the people in Goguryeo to be slaves."
Just in time for the carriage to rest, a carriage driver next to him came over with water. These carriage drivers traveled all over the country, and they knew a lot of news. These people who went to Goguryeo to farm liked to listen to the conversation like the carriage driver. .
"Then the people of Goguryeo won't resist? It is said that there are many ordinary people in Goguryeo, which is comparable to more than a dozen state capitals in our country."
Liu Laosan said a little strangely. He knew that the life of slaves was difficult. In the past, he followed his brother to work part-time in the landlord's house. Their life was pretty good, at least not the same as those slaves. It is said that those slaves slept every day. You have to count on your fingers, and you have to work in the fields most of the time.
"Resistance is nothing. Do you think it's still the old Goguryeo? Their army of hundreds of thousands was defeated by us. Now except for some surrenders, the remaining troops in the country are long gone, including those who ran to the mountains. People were also pulled out by us."
The coachman said very proudly, as if he had done this. However, the situation in Goguryeo was similar to what he said. Millions of people across the country were already working in the fields. In such a short period of time, it was possible to make people With so many people on the track, Li Xiang has really worked hard during this period. It doesn't mean that it's over if you defeat a country. You have to let this country generate wealth for you, otherwise you will defeat this country. If you come down, you will have to bear a heavy burden.
"With so much more food, won't our food in Datang become cheaper again?"
Another young man thought about this. The family is still drinking porridge because they can't afford food. If the price of food drops, then the people in the family can also eat dry food like us.
"Isn't it a good thing that it's cheap? His Highness said that in addition to leaving a part of this batch of food, it will allow them to have some food, as long as they can't starve to death. All the remaining food will be transported back to Datang and used to improve our situation. The living conditions of the people in the Tang Dynasty will definitely be such that no one will starve to death in the Tang Dynasty."
The carriage driver thought of something he had heard before, which was the law promulgated by Li Xiang in Goguryeo. At that time, many people did not believe it and thought that His Highness might be deceiving me, but now those who do not believe it have shut up. Well, just take a look at these fertile fields along the way. Isn’t there enough food in these fields to eat?
"His Highness is really amazing. He single-handedly changed the current situation of our Tang Dynasty. Now we have to offer it to His Highness. That is more important to us than Guanyin Bodhisattva."
"Who says it's not the case? If we didn't have this policy, we wouldn't know what to do at home. Our family only has eight acres of land anyway. If my brother got married and used it as a betrothal gift, we two brothers would starve to death. It’s time to starve to death.”
Others were praising Li Xiang's merits and deeds. The coachman had one sentence that he hadn't said yet, which was that it took a lot of effort to have such a current situation in Liaodong. Of course, it was not us who lost. Those who lost were all the people of Goguryeo.
Take the field not far away as an example. When they came here last time, there was only half of the field, and the other part was still wasteland. But now it has been reclaimed. Although there are cattle here, the daily The working hours are also very long. If your body cannot bear it, you may have to become fertilizer in this field.
The two carriage drivers once heard from a government official here that the total number of people working to open up wasteland here is more than 7,000. This round trip to Chang'an will only take five months at most, and there are already six months left. There are more than a thousand people, and more than a thousand others have been exhausted to death.
There is nothing pitiable between the two of you in such a thing. You Goguryeo people were defeated. Since His Highness has labeled you and said that you are all slaves, then who will care about the life and death of the slaves?
What's more, they also heard from people in the army that the total population of Goguryeo was too large, and they were also wasting food. It was better to let them burn their lives, and then do whatever they had to do, so as not to eat our food in vain in the future.
"Let's go, let's hurry up and get in the car. We are going to the Yalu River today."
The leaders in front have already started greeting. These people have only heard of the Datong River here, and have never heard of the Yalu River here. But they heard that it was renamed by His Highness, so these people don’t care about Datong. Jiang Li.
After another ten days, these people finally arrived at their destination. In the distance, the coachman's head had already started negotiating with the officer, and the heads were handed over according to the heads on the list.
These coachmen had managed to survive. They had to quickly go to the army to get money, then transport the things that should be transported back, and transport people back from the capital again.
The money they can earn in this line is more than they will earn in their entire life, so they have to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money, lest they have no chance in the future and have nowhere to make money.
