was erected so high, if he did something bad in the future, the people would not scold him to death.

Although he won't do anything to hurt the people, it's not comfortable to be put up.

Just looking at the look of the little old man, he seemed to be genuinely grateful.

"Elder Chen doesn't have to be polite, hurry up, hurry up." Li Chuan took a step forward and made a move to help people.

But the little old man's movements were faster, and before he could come to him, the little old man jumped up by himself, and said with a guilty face: "Where can you make the county lord condescend, the little old man is fine, and it is healthier to kneel." ”

Li Chuan: "......"? He's wearing it too?!

"Ahem!" Li Chuan cleared his throat and said, "I'm just here to see, maybe I'll go back in the evening." "If he can't buy enough daily necessities, he can go back.

Even if you can't enter the capital, you can stay overnight in Li Chengqian's manor.

"Huh?!" Chen Ming seemed to be a little disappointed, but still said, "If there is any instruction, my lord should give it." ”

"It's not a ......," Li Chuan stopped halfway through his words, and asked again, "Can you introduce the situation of the fiefdom?" ”

He only cares about his fiefdom, and don't come to him for anything else.

"There are three hundred fiefdoms of adults, with a total of 1,708 people." Chen Ming seemed to have made sufficient preparations before coming, "Among them, there are about 300 old people, nearly 400 men in their prime, nearly 800 women in their prime, and the rest are children. ”

Li Chuan lowered his eyes and analyzed, that is to say, there are twice as many women as men, and there are also some elderly people who need to be taken care of by others due to their reduced physical strength, and as for young children, they not only need to be taken care of, but also loved.

With this component, life is hard to get better!

But he also understands that most of the men in the Tang Dynasty have gone to war, and although there are many who can survive from the battlefield, there are also many who die.

In particular, the Guanzhong area is the main area for military service.

In those years of war, there were white flags hanging in every house, and there were not a few women and children left in every household.

But most families will still leave a male at home and set up a door, the same is true for the Tang Dynasty, the only son is not allowed to go to the battlefield, and those with many brothers must stay at home, which is also a humane practice to avoid blood severance.

"We're having a hard time here." The chief sighed, then immediately cheered up, and said with a smile: "And we have a good adult, now those chickens and ducks are fattened, and the villagers are reluctant to eat them, looking forward to taking them out to exchange for more food." ”

Li Chuan licked his lips, in fact, he can understand raising chickens and geese, but how do ducks be raised? That thing needs water.

"It's always good to get more food." Li Chuan can't say that people eat meat without changing food, after all, there are a lot of people in every family, only a few chickens and ducks, and they will be eaten in a few days, and then what? Starving to death?!

He scratched his head in annoyance, they were all the people in his fiefdom, and he couldn't ignore it.

"Is there a carpenter in the village?" Li Chuan looked at the empty houses around him, and he was looking for someone to fight for the lack of furniture.

"Yes, yes! There are three good craftsmen, and there are more than a dozen poor ones, and they are all careful in their work. The chief's eyes flashed, and he looked at Li Chuan with a vague expectation.

"Then ask them if they have time to make some furniture for me." Li Chuan stretched out his arm and swiped back, "My room is empty." ”

"That's a good dare, don't worry, my lord, they will definitely do it quickly and well, it's just ......" The little old man's face showed a difficult look.

"What?"

"It's just good wood, we can't get it, and the wood in the village can only be used by ordinary people, and it is not suitable for farmers to use for their own use and for adults." The little old man rubbed his hands nervously, for fear that his words would make the work in hand fly.

Li Chuan was silent for two seconds, it was indeed a problem, he couldn't tell the chief to just do something, after all, his identity was there, even if he didn't care about any wood, but if it was known, he had to pay attention to it behind his back.

Datang is a country with very distinct classes, and it is better for him to follow the customs.

"Make some servants first, and I'll figure out how to make wood." Li Chuan pressed his forehead, so for the sake of the carpenter's wages in the village, he can't buy ready-made ones, he has to find good wood to let them do it?!

It's a nuisance! But you can't use the simplest way...... Send money!

Shengmi endou Mi hate, if these people are used to getting something for nothing, they will become the blood leeches of the Tang Dynasty, and he really can't afford to raise them at that time.

"Thank you, little old man, I'm going to tell them the good news." The little old man was so happy that his face was full of wrinkles.

Li Chuan waved his hand helplessly and let him go, this is just a measure of rights and interests, it can only benefit a small number of families, what to do with other families, he has to think again.

Anyway, why is he so self-conscious? Take the initiative to carry things on yourself?!

You deserve to be tired!

There was no place to sit in the empty house, Li Chuan simply walked out of the door, standing on the field stalks, looking at the children who were chasing chickens and ducks, and still felt some vitality.

These children also looked at him curiously from afar, and they didn't come, it should have been warned by adults, after all, people with status are not easy to mess with these days.

If there is really a child who does not have a long-sighted past, he may die in vain.

The children's curiosity lasted for a while, and soon they were divided into two groups, the younger ones staying in the village and watching the chickens and geese, and the older ones driving the ducks out.

"Where are they going?" Li Chuan turned his head and asked Xiao Yinzi.

Xiao Yinzi thought for a moment and said, "It should be to drive the ducks to the river." ”

River? Isn't that a long way off? Just these children go by themselves? Is it safe?!

Li Chuan frowned, among those children, the eldest looked like he was only seven or eight years old, with branches in his hands, and there were disobedient ducks running around, so they stopped them with branches, and then purred in their mouths to drive them away, not to mention, they looked at their work quite decently.

There is nothing wrong with this saying that the children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age.

Li Chuan stopped here, and no one dared to come over, at most he probed his brain at the door of his house.

Glancing around, Li Chuan's heart was a little heavy, and as far as the eye could see, there were low adobe houses, not a single wooden one, let alone brick and tile.

That's right, bricks and tiles are not popular in Datang, they are all antique wooden houses, the kind that cannot be extinguished as soon as they catch fire.

Building a house is imminent, and Li Chuan can't even look like how they survived the winter.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiao Yinzi pulled Li Chuan's sleeve slightly, and Li Chuan came back to his senses and saw the chief walking over with a dozen or so people.

The lieutenant was dressed quite neatly, and the others were covered in gray patches, and they were tanned, and they looked more peasant than peasants.

"My lord, these are the carpenters in the village, they work together and work fast." The little old man smiled as if he didn't want money, and gave a large number of gifts to Li Chuan.

"Okay, then find the right wood and do it." Li Chuan motioned to Xiao Yinzi, and Xiao Yinzi took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his sleeve and handed it to the lieutenant chief.

The lieutenant took it, saw the amount clearly, and his hands trembled!

Don't look at Li Chuan's spending of 1,000 taels for a guest, he feels that the silver is worthless, in fact, ordinary people rarely get close to silver in their lives, for him, 100 taels is enough for everyone in the family to spend for ten years.

Of course, this is a concentration in one family, so many people share, although they can only get a few taels, but it is also more than they should get paid.

"My lord, this is not good, there are too many, we can't accept it." The chief refused in his mouth, but his heart was dripping blood.

Want to receive it? I want to, I can think about it, but for the sake of the future development of the village, he must refuse, with the county of Li Chuan, they will have shelter, and at the same time they can get some care.

Since Li Chuan was named the county prince of Jingyang, he inquired about this person everywhere, and the result of his inquiry was ...... It's amazing, it's different from all the Tang people.

More than 1,000 years later, of course it's different.

Anyway, when the chief first came into contact with Li Chuan, he was still a little uncertain, but now he is a little relieved, it seems that this county is a good person.

And when I talk to them, I don't have that kind of arrogance and arrogance in my bones, and I seem very peaceful, as if there is not such a big identity difference between them.

I have to say, this is a very novel experience.

"Take it, just do your job." Li Chuan smiled lightly, his gaze swept over the craftsmen.

The craftsmen immediately bowed their heads, as if they were afraid of him.

Li Chuan's smile stiffened for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched to retract the smile, God knows that he just wanted to show that he was approachable.

"Thank you, sir!" The lieutenant turned around and yelled at the group of unassuming things.

The voice was so loud that even Li Chuan began to doubt his age, is this little old man just looking anxious? And the actual age is not the age of the old man?!

Thinking in his heart, Li Chuan asked, and he just waved his hand at the thanks of these carpenters, not caring much.

Li Chang was silent for a moment and said, "Little Lao'er is thirty out of sixty." ”

63？ That's really not small in Datang.

"Old Chen looks good." Li Chuan praised it sincerely.

Chen Ming cracked his mouth and laughed, and said, "It's all thanks to the adult." ”

The corners of Li Chuan's mouth twitched again, what does his body have to do with him, and he has to pay attention to some skills.

"By the way, in addition to the carpenter, there should be a mason in the village, right?"

The little old man didn't quite understand what kind of work a mason was, so he asked in detail before he said, "No one specializes in this, but when the city wall was repaired, everyone contributed to it." ”

So that is to say, in fact, many people know some, but there is no professional.

"Okay, find a few." He just came to train, anyway, it's very simple to make a kang.

When he was in the palace, when the two craftsmen were doing it, he understood it, and with the drawings, how difficult it could be.

As soon as he heard this, the little old man was happy again, and he responded with great spirit, and ran quickly to find someone.

The dozen or so carpenters ran behind the little old man, not to mention how strange the scene was.

"Isn't it that the people's temperament is so boring?" Li Chuan couldn't figure it out.

He has seen not a thousand but eight hundred people in Chang'an City, and he has never seen such a stuffy horn, and he can talk about the horn without being tired for a day, so it is not without reason that the rumors in Chang'an City spread quickly.

Xiao Yinzi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "They are just afraid, because they don't understand adults, for fear of offending you, then the only way to live will be blocked." ”

"That's right, you must know that the imperial court has also recruited a lot of people to go out of the conscription, but where is it easier to make furniture at home than to go out of the conscription, this is also Your Majesty does not have a mandatory limit on the number of people, so those who can generally live at home will not go, but let those who can't really get a chance to live." A guard added on the side.

Li Chuan turned his head and glanced at it, he knew this person, Lan Ling, he looked a little like a mixed race, and he was the one who led the second batch of guards sent by His Majesty Li Er.

"That's better, it's more reasonable." After speaking, Li Chuan was a little silent, so the people of his fiefdom could still get by?!

God knows what it will be like for those who can't get by.

Sighing, Li Chuan shook his head, don't think about that, with his ability, it's good to be able to manage the fiefdom, there are so many poor people in the world, he can't manage it.

This time, the lieutenant brought six more people, all of them were tall and strong, and just looking at their appearance, they really couldn't tell that they were living a life of not having enough to eat.

"They have a lot of strength, and they do their work very well." The little old man smiled a little silly, and the six people behind him all lowered their heads and bowed to Li Chuan.

"Okay, then they are, but there are no materials now, tomorrow, I'll bring the materials tomorrow." Although it is not a large number of bricks burned now, there are definitely a lot of red bricks accumulated, and if he wants to buy some, His Majesty Li Er will definitely be happy.

"Okay, then we'll wait for the adults tomorrow, my lord, you see that the sun is gradually rising, why don't you go to the little old man's house and sit down?" The little old man was a little apprehensive about the invitation.

Li Chuan looked up at the sky, swept around the low adobe houses again, and refused: "No, it's still early, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." ”

It's not that he dislikes adobe houses, it's just that he doesn't know what to say to this little old man when he really goes to sit in someone's house.

He came today, and basically saw everything he wanted to see, to be honest, it was not as good as his resemblance, but it was not much worse, after all, his expectations were not so high.

"That little old man sends off the adults." The lieutenant bowed to the ground.

Li Chuan didn't say anything more, just got on the horse and left.

Not long after he left, the guard who had gone out to buy furniture returned, only to find that the furniture in his hand was useless, and he had been left behind!

The guard raised his head and sighed, my lord, doesn't he have any sense of existence as a big living person?!

At the same time, Li Chengqian finally got up from the bed, and with a deafening magic sound, he instructed the grandmother to make milk powder for little Li Zhi.

He decided to go and say goodbye to the queen mother for a while, and see if the queen mother thought about Xiao Jiu in the past two days, and it would be great if she did.

Of course, if Empress Changsun didn't mention it, Li Chengqian would not take the initiative to mention it, he would rather endure it himself, and also hoped that Empress Changsun could rest better.

Therefore, he still has to find a way to throw Xiao Jiu to his father!
