"My lord, in the new city, there are 78 shops and restaurants in our own industry, and the scale is still expanding, so it is best to make up 100 according to the wishes of my wife."

After Pei Yuanqing reported, Hong Tian and Qi Fu stood up when they were on biqutv.

It is said that after the city wall of the new city was built, the huge places inside needed to be rebuilt, except for a part of the land sold to the original merchants, many of which were developed and built by the Meng government

In the future, these are all endless ways to make money.

"Well, what is the income from the recent sale of land?"

After hearing this, Wei Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and looked at Qi Fu.

"My lord, the income from the sale of land has been nearly one million taels of silver recently, but it has taken a lot to build the moat, and now there are more than 300,000 taels left in the treasury."

"More than 300,000 taels is good, and after the return of the son, all the silver will be sent to the Mengfu to build a new city, and the various expenses will be made up for the prince one by one."

Wei Zheng nodded.

He has a clear distinction between public and private,

His son-in-law has invested too much for this new city, so after all taxes and the money from the land sale are put away, he must return it

It can even be said that even if it is still the world of the Great Sui, this new city really belongs to his son, even if the Sui lord comes, he can't say anything.

"Yes, my lord"

Qi Fu and Hong Tian nodded in unison.

"By the way, all kinds of staple grains are growing well this year, Fan Hu, organize the people and do a good job in the summer grain harvest"

Finally, Wei Zheng looked at Fan Hu.

It turned out that many people moved to Qizhou Mansion after selling their original mansions.

The fields outside the city that had been cultivated were deserted.

Later, Meng Fan saw that the money could not be spent, so he simply hired a group of laborers to pick up those plots again, and by the way, he also reclaimed some of them.

All of these expenses are paid for by the Mon government.

At present, the summer grain harvest is abundant, and it is natural that the Meng Mansion will have to be cleaned up.

"Don't worry, my lord, when I went to Chang'an, I had already arranged that a lot of large granaries had been cast in a place three miles outside the northern suburbs of the city, which was enough to hold these grains."

was named, Fan Hu bowed out.

"So Very Good"

"Lian Ming has not had enough people to catch fast recently, and he needs to recruit some more"

"It's an adult"

In this way, everything was arranged in an orderly manner by Wei Zheng, and in another place, Meng Fan's carriage also slowly stopped in front of the Meng Mansion

Just when everything is on the right track on Meng Fan's side and ushering in rapid development,

Jiujiang Mansion, Xinping County, in front of a magnetic kiln on a hill,

Jia Yun, the big shopkeeper of Tianma Commercial Bank, raised a porcelain ** in his hand, and there were seven or eight sweaty porcelain masters standing in front of him.

while

I saw Jia Yun knock lightly, and the porcelain ** made a crisp and pleasant sound.

Looking at his body again, the whole body is as white as jade, without a trace of impurities, which is far different from the celadon fired by major official kilns.

"Is this done?"

Looking at the porcelain**, Jia Yun's eyes flashed.

"The big shopkeeper has become the white porcelain you want"

The next moment,

Seven or eight porcelain masters cheered excitedly.

They are all Jia Yun spent a lot of money to recruit porcelain masters from various places.

Since coming to this place called Jingdezhen, they have gathered together day and night to start firing according to Jia Yun's requirements.

During this period, from the celadon at the beginning to slowly fade, until now it is snow-white and pure without any impurities, and they don't know how much brains and effort they wasted.

Now it seems that it has finally been done.

If it is not bad, once this kind of white porcelain is on the market, it will definitely become a thing that is frantically robbed by wealthy officials and businessmen

"Okay, each person will be rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and hurry up, I will see 20,000 pieces of white porcelain out of the kiln in a month."

Jia Yun swept over the porcelain master with an excited face, and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart,

"Childe, that silver has not been wasted, and we will definitely be able to make a lot of money when our things come out."

"Five thousand taels per person"

Here, hearing Jia Yun's words, those porcelain masters were stunned at first, and then overjoyed,

"Don't worry, don't say 20,000 pieces of white porcelain in a month, even if it's 30,000 pieces, you can get it out."

"Good"

Jia Yun nodded heavily.

But just when he wanted to say something, a little guy came to him in a hurry,

"Master, there's news from Bohai County"

"Is there news about Yang Qing of Bohai County for the 10,000 sets of battle armor and 5,000 war horses?"

His eyes lit up again, and he hurriedly took the note.

When I opened it, it was

The secret letter said that the things had arrived in Liangzhou Mansion, and he needed to send someone to make up the remaining silver and pick up the goods

"Liangzhou Mansion will pick up the goods, and then it will be up to Lord Su Cheng to arrange this Yang Qing to make me button my hat, and then swallow this goods alone, hehe, ridiculous"

The corners of his mouth curled, he put away the note, and called the little guy again.

"Pick up the pen and ink"

"Yes, sir"

And so, day by day,

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since Meng Fan returned to Licheng County,

At the same time, the weather in Chang'an City is getting hotter and drier.

There was no rain for two months, and many people couldn't help but run to the banks of the Qujiang River to take a bath.

As a result, when I arrived at the river, I found that many places had dried up, let alone bathing, and there was no place to even draw water.

That's not all, many wells in Chang'an City have also begun to dry up, and the water that has been brought up in recent times is full of sediment and needs to be clarified for a long time before it can be used.

The most important thing is that the people still can't see a single cloud in the sky

For this reason, one after another the recitals were sent to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, if it doesn't rain again, today's summer grain will be lost, and many fields have begun to dry up."

Li Yuan, the new head of the household department, stood in front of the dragon case and said with a bitter face.

In other words, he worked hard and finally transferred from the Ministry of Officials to the Ministry of Households.

I wanted to make good use of the treasury silver to send Meng Fan to heaven, but after taking over, I was almost angry to death.

Not only is the treasury poor, but it is also experiencing a major drought that has not been seen in decades

Recently, I have been annoyed to death by this drought every day, how can I have the heart to care about Meng Fan's affairs anymore.

"Whew"

Hearing this, Lord Sui slowly put down the chapter,

In just one month, his face was much paler than before, and he looked even weaker.

"Spread the decree, and after three days, set up an altar in the east of the city, and I will personally sacrifice to the heavens and pray for rain."

"Your Majesty wants to sacrifice to the heavens and ask for rain"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed down.

Regardless of whether this rain pipe is useless, as long as the news is released, at least in two or three days, his ears will be much quieter.

"Let the Ministry of Rites Su Cheng prepare to prepare"

Waving his hand again, Lord Sui's face showed a hint of fatigue,

"Princess, help me go to the dormitory"

"Yes, Your Majesty"
