Since Wei Zheng paraded around Chang'an with a turtle on his face, the prince's reputation for loving the people like a son has spread. In addition, when the local officials summarized the above table, they also brought the so-called "Book of the People" by the way, and they unanimously hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would reward the crown prince heavily.

And the image of the Tang Dynasty has really taken root in the hearts of the people. The people are very simple, and there is actually one truth summed up in a thousand words - if you take me seriously, I will take you seriously!

Because of the relief of the imperial court and the help of the local county government, the displaced people who went out of the mountains finally returned to the days of food and clothing for many years, and those children born in the mountains finally did not have to suffer in the cold weather.

In such an environment, Li Chengqian completely stayed in the East Palace.

This is Li Gang's warning, as a young prince, with such a "credit" behind him, what is needed is not publicity, but precipitation. Only by precipitating all the merits can the foundation be stable.

Although he was still a little resistant to inheriting the throne, Li Chengqian was horrified to find that the direction of things no longer seemed to be within his control.

There is such a thing as the Book of Wanmin, even the emperor will be excited for a while when he gets it, and what he got was the crown prince, who directly nailed a cement nail to his status as the prince, and smashed it a few times with a giant hammer.

In the morning, Li Jing and Niu Jinda jointly guided martial arts practice, and in the morning, he followed the old gentleman to read, practice, write reading notes, and occasionally play two games of chess.

And the afternoon time that should have belonged to him was taken up by Wei Zheng, the bastard!

When the old bastard Wei Zheng came to the East Palace, in addition to mixing rice, he would also explain to him what happened in the court, and he was full of interest. The emperor clearly maintained a supportive attitude towards his actions, after all, if he left it alone, he was already supportive.

Thanks to Wei Zheng's fragmented thoughts, Li Chengqian knows more and more about the court.

It wasn't until near Layue that Wei Zheng was sent out to inspect the countryside that Li Chengqian finally had the opportunity to leave the palace.

Unlike the usual report to the emperor before leaving the palace, this time out of the palace, Li Chengqian only brought Fang Sheng and a few younger eunuchs, all dressed in disguise, mixed in the construction team of Chongwen Pavilion, and left the palace from Yanxi Gate.

Not far from Chang'an, it is the farm that was ordered to be built before.

Because of the large investment, the scale of the farm is very large, there are the residues after the brewing of Li Dahai Distillery, the remnants of greenhouse vegetables, and the grass seeds collected by the old palace maid and the old eunuch.

I had long heard that the prince was coming to see it, and the person in charge of the farm, the eunuch Liao Zhong who was expelled from the palace, waited at the door with everyone.

As soon as the prince jumped out of the carriage, he fell to his knees.

I hate the etiquette of kneeling the most, Li Chengqian stepped forward to help Liao Zhong: "What are you kneeling, it's all your own life in exchange for work, and Gu Ye only provided you with initial funds." Moreover, Lone doesn't do anything, doesn't he still take the biggest profit! ”

Liao Zhong was already in tears, and choked up: "This is different, Your Highness, if we don't have the money you give, even if we want to find a way to support ourselves, we can't do anything." Some time ago, there were a few old palace maids who reached their longevity, and unlike the previous people, they left with a smile. It is Your Highness who can save us and others to have a good old age and a decent death! ”

Looking at the people crying bitterly, Li Chengqian had mixed feelings.

In this era when the upper echelons are extremely honorable and the people at the bottom are allowed to live and die, they can just eat enough and be buried in a coffin when they die, which is already a dream-like scene for them.

I can't say some words of encouragement, and being attached to the prince is equivalent to being born with a jade spoon in my mouth in this era. With the identity of the crown prince, some encouraging words may sound like ridicule to the other party.

Patting Liao Zhong's arm, Li Chengqian followed him to check the scale of the farm.

In just half a year, under their hard work, the farm has a certain scale, although it is necessary to sell some chickens, ducks, eggs or chicks in exchange for living expenses, but the overall scale has not been affected much.

Looking at the circle full of poultry, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Even in the future generations, when facing the locust plague, biological countermeasures must be used. Guanzhong is very large, and the scale covers the locust plague in the entire Guanzhong, and his chickens and ducks are not enough to resist.

However, with so many poultry, it is no problem to shelter the surroundings of Chang'an. What's more, there are so many locusts, there must be a way to deal with them. The saying that "a species is raging because it has not been studied how to eat it" does not have much market in Datang. Maybe some people in the south can have this taste, but for the people of Guanzhong, eating locusts is still too unrestrained.

Since people are not good at mouthing, it is good to let chickens and ducks put their mouths, and then people turn to eat chickens and ducks, isn't it the same?

Therefore, as long as the locust plague is together, he is ready to buy locusts on a large scale, and if they can't be fed in a year, they will be dried into locusts and processed into animal feed.

Seeing that the prince was contemplating in front of the chicken coop, Liao Zhong and the others stood upwind to block the wind. Although I don't know what the prince is thinking, it must be a very important thing. Recalling the reckless mistake at the beginning, he couldn't help but admire Wang Sheng's decisiveness.

It turns out that although the crown prince is only eight years old, just now, their situation has improved. Although the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace who are too old to drive are still inevitably driven away, it is still possible to have this farm, so that they will not freeze and starve to death, and provide them with a safe place without discrimination.

After a few minutes, Li Chengqian continued to take steps, ready to look at the residential area.

Just at the first glance, Li Chengqian was furious.

There is such a large farm here, but the living area is very simple.

The house is built, but what is the matter with one or two hundred people crammed into a room? Moreover, he saw with his own eyes that near the innermost stove, there were a few people who were coughing in bed.

Kicking Liao Zhong's leg, Li Chengqian said angrily: "Isn't the farm quite profitable? Why don't you build a house properly? ”

The accounts of the East Palace remember very clearly that the farm has sent more than 10,000 pieces of silver to the East Palace in the past six months.

Liao Zhong didn't dare to rub the leg that was kicked and hurt by the thief, so he could only say aggrievedly: "The slave also suggested building a house, but they all felt that it was better to pay back all the money you advanced in first, and then build it." Although this house is simple, when the stove is raised, no one can freeze to death. In this way, we are already satisfied. ”

Li Chengqian was speechless. Recommended Reading: /.. /

Chao Fang Sheng beckoned, and Li Chengqian said: "Send the 10,000 guan back, it's not that you don't have no money, so you don't need to pay it back in a hurry." You don't have time to take care of yourself, you still have such a mind. Although this thing is hidden, Lone still feels ashamed. As a human being, you can't do this. You live so densely, although it doesn't affect your life, but if someone is infected with the wind cold or something, wouldn't one person pass on one piece? Lone is very suspicious, did the palace maids who died some time ago die of wind and cold? ”

Liao Zhong lowered his head and was speechless.

Looking at this dilapidated house, Li Chengqian sighed, and the little good mood that had risen was suddenly destroyed.

Liao Zhong had a bitter face, silently bearing the kicks that the prince kicked from time to time.

Taking advantage of Li Chengqian's time to drink tea, Fang Sheng grabbed Liao Zhong and said, "Bear with me, in the East Palace, His Royal Highness often kicks me like this." It hurts, but His Highness's concern for us is not mixed with a little impurity. I'll send you the 10,000 yuan when I go back, and I'll settle the matter of the house first. This year, more than 100,000 yuan has been accumulated in the account of the East Palace, and there is no shortage of 10,000 yuan for you. ”

"X.... More than 100,000? ”

Hearing this number, Liao Zhong was a little dumbfounded. He could never have imagined that the eight-year-old prince could save so much money.

In fact, Liao Zhong didn't know that in addition to the dividends obtained as a shareholder, Li Chengqian made the most money from the caravans that entered the Eastern Turks.

Summer is average, but since the beginning of autumn, the Turks, who are well aware of the benefits of high-alcohol alcohol, can't help but start hoarding.

High alcohol is a good thing, although it is dizzy after drinking, but it can make people warm up all over the body, and in previous winters they had to be frozen and couldn't sleep, but now as long as they pour some wine, the night will pass in a daze. As for the sequelae of headaches, they are really nothing compared to the difficult cold nights.

When the market demand is large, the price will increase, which is a common truth in ancient and modern times.

Therefore, the price of wine in Turkic, under Li Chengqian's advice, has increased a lot.

Li Dahai received an order from the prince to buy a piece of land in a border county. The cattle and sheep exchanged from the Eastern Turks were slaughtered on the spot by the old ones, and then returned to the Central Plains after they were dried or smoked. Lambs and calves were either sold to herders in the Central Plains or transported back to the Central Plains.

There has always been a shortage of cattle in the cultivated land of the Central Plains, so that slaughtering cattle without permission is a more serious crime than murder.

The cattle and sheep walking all over the grassland are very expensive in the Central Plains.

It is expensive to leave home, which is also a common truth in ancient and modern times.

Relying on truckloads of high-quality liquor made from inferior grains, Li Chengqian happily sucked blood in the Eastern Turks. Thanks to the narcotic use of alcohol, the herdsmen of the Eastern Turks did not feel that they had suffered a loss, and the transaction that was satisfactory to both parties was not a fraud.

Li Dahai was originally the shopkeeper of a small winery, and unlike Zhao Yongsheng, who has a big heart, he knows how to correct his position.

He took 10,000 yuan of the silver money earned by the winery, and sent the rest to the East Palace. As for the forty percent of the people, he wisely chose to forget.

10,000 yuan is already a profit beyond the reach of many businessmen, and no matter how much, it will be a disaster for him.

turned the farm around, and when he was leaving, Li Chengqian patted Liao Zhong's kicked leg: "If 10,000 is not enough, just tell Gu." ”

"Lonely, rich...."
