Chapter 131: Prestige

150,000 acres.

The land of Huangzhuang is not unlimited.

When the Li family became the ruler of the world, the royal land came from two kinds, one was the large amount of land owned by the Li family in Taiyuan, and the other was the imperial village of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty.

And after Emperor Taishang and Li Shimin ascended the throne, in order to buy people's hearts, they rewarded some of them, not to mention that over the years, Emperor Taishang married a lot of daughters.

This Chen Zhengtai is really a lion's big mouth, and it is directly 150,000 acres.

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back: "You didn't say that you would let me borrow land." ”

He was distressed, he was annoyed, so he got up and paced with his hands behind his back!

What kind of control did you play, and how did you end up controlling my head? Shouldn't I sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the storm surge?

Chen Zhengtai secretly gave Li Chengqian a look.

Li Chengqian understood something, so he hurriedly said: "Father, borrow it, it's not that you won't pay it back, not to mention that the sisters are still young, and they are thinking about what to do with the dowry." ”

"Shut up." Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian's temperament is relatively straightforward, he is a bold and generous character, although he is similar to Li Shimin in many aspects, but in this regard, he is very different from Li Shimin.

After all, Li Shimin is the Son of Heaven and knows the difficulties of the country, and every copper coin spent may have an impact on national politics, so he adheres to the concept of living within his means.

Li Chengqian is still young, he has not really been a family, and he is a prince, of course he doesn't value anything.

Li Chengqian was scolded, and he was immediately stunned, and he turned his head to run, but when he saw Chen Zhengtai here, he seemed to feel that there was no righteousness when he was alone, so he trembled and did not speak.

Li Shimin pondered seriously for a while, closed his eyes and said: "150,000 mu, is it really enough?" ”

"Enough." Chen Zhengtai's words are chiseled.

"Okay, here it is." Li Shimin suddenly changed his words: "We must pay it back as soon as possible, even if something goes wrong in the future, we can't pay it all back, at least 100,000 mu must be repaid." ”

"Mentor Shengming." Chen Zhengtai said with a wry smile.

Looking at Li Shimin's calm face, he really felt the distress of his teacher, but since he came today, this east wind is necessary to borrow!

Li Shimin glared at him, his eyes shining with wisdom: "In terms of the art of war, this is called a battle against the water, what do you want to do, I understand a little, but I must not let me lose my wife and lose my soldiers, do you know?" ”

"Understood, understood." Chen Zhengtai nodded stupidly, and then hurriedly withdrew with Li Chengqian.

Out of the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Scared to death, I was almost hurt by you, senior brother, did you think I was mighty when you saw me, I fought with my father and the emperor, I am not afraid." ”

Chen Zhengtai said without a match: "Yes, yes, the junior brother is mighty." ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but say: "Can you have a little sincerity?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Yes, yes." ”

Li Chengqian's face twitched, and he suddenly remembered something: "There is one thing, I don't understand very much, logically speaking, shouldn't it be a good thing to increase the production of this grain?" Even those who own many lands, will not their food be multiplied many times in the future? It's good for them, but why...... It looks like it's harmful to them. ”

In fact, Chen Zhengtai was very relieved when Li Chengqian asked like this, because since Li Chengqian had questions, it meant that he had begun to think.

It's not easy to get His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to start thinking.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Okay, then let me ask you, ordinary people have surplus grain, they can save some and keep it for disaster preparedness, but there are countless lands in the world, and they have mountains of surplus grain, what will happen?" ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while: "This ......"

Chen Zhengtai looked at him and thought about it for a long time, so he said: "They will store it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what loneliness means."

"But what is the essence of storage?"

Li Chengqian frowned again: "Isn't it just storage?" ”

Chen Zhengtai was very patient to give him an analysis: "The essence of storage is to sell it when the market is good." ”

Li Chengqian nodded.

"But what if in the next few decades, or even hundreds of years in the future, my Datang will not be short of food? After all, the grain of the people of the world is sold to the people who have no food, but the people have food, what should be done with the countless mountains of grain? ”

"This ...... Lonely to think, continue to store? ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled a little angrily at him, and said: "If you continue to store, the grain will become old grain, and it will still be moldy in the end." And it also costs a lot of money to build a warehouse, and the warehouse needs to be guarded and managed, and these are all money. ”

Li Chengqian thoughtfully: "Then...... You can sell it at a bargain price. ”

"If a few clans sell a large amount of grain at a low price, they may be able to recover their losses, but once everyone sells at a low price, it will cause a stampede, and the final result is very likely to be a loss of money. Because you need a cost to transport, and you also need a cost to sell, once the price of grain is lower than this cost, won't you make money at a loss? ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "I thought that as long as this grain was sold, it would be sold if I said it." ”

At this time, Chen Zhengtai said: "Then their only choice is to burn grain." ”

"Burn the grain...... Li Chengqian's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise: "Why do you want to burn?" This is food, are they crazy? ”

Chen Zhengtai looked at him with disdain: "Why don't you burn it?" ”

Li Chengqian still didn't understand, so he said, "They can send the grain out." ”

"Why?"

Li Chengqian was anxious: "Isn't it a pity to burn it?" ”

"Of course, it is still a loss if it is burned, but it will be a little less than storing and selling, because the more grain is burned, the more food can be maintained. If you give away the grain for nothing, then everyone in the world will know that this grain is not worth a penny, and no one will spend money to buy grain in the future. Let alone...... What family does not have countless lands? How much food does this untold land produce every year, and how can so much food be given away? Do you think it doesn't cost to give it away? Don't need shipping? ”

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded: "Isn't this a dead end?" ”

"Theoretically, that's true." Chen Zhengtai said: "At least for now, they are in a dead end, farming requires a lot of manpower, tools need to be used, seedlings need to be cultivated in the early stage, all in all, although they have land, but the cost in the early stage is a lot." And once a large amount of costs are invested, in the end, the grain is burned, and it will still be a loss, and whoever has more land will lose more. ”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but say: "Then let the land be barren." ”

"The land is barren? And what about their parts? Dry-raised? ”

Li Chengqian was stunned again, and was a little speechless for a while: "......"

In the Tang Dynasty, the tribe is the population attached to the world, which is the official name, in fact, in the community, people call these tribes as domestic children, domestic servants, servants, slaves, concubines, etc., in fact...... He is a slave of the world.

In addition to some of the land leased out for cultivation, a considerable part of the land of the Shi clan was cultivated for the Shi clan from generation to generation, which was a system that has been continued since the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning, there was a person named Wang Mang, fainted, he usurped the world of the Han Dynasty, established a new dynasty, and wanted to reform it, known as Wang Mang's new system, but this reform quickly failed, and finally died and the clan was wiped out.

With Wang Mang's lesson, the Eastern Han Dynasty retained this system, and since then the world has experienced countless dynasties and endless wars!

However, instead of being destroyed, the system of the tribes was strengthened, and in order to accumulate strength in the troubled times, the clan accumulated more and more tribes. And ordinary people, in order to rely on them in troubled times, would rather be attached to the world.

The essence of the trilogy is actually a slave, and it is clearly stipulated in the 26th volume of the "Tang Law Shuyi": "The servant girl can be bought and sold at will, and it is not guilty of committing adultery with the wife and guest girl of the tribe of one's own family, let alone the servant girl." The master can beat the tribe at will, or even kill him. As long as the master reports to the government, he can kill the slave and maid. ”

The biggest difference between the tenant and the tribe as recognized by later generations is that the tenant has more freedom of personal and relocation with the landlord, the tenant is obliged to pay rent rather than labor, and the tenant is no longer a pariah but a good citizen in law.

Almost all the clans have raised a large number of tribes.

The Chen family is no exception.

These parts are both private slaves, so ...... If the clan decides to leave the land deserted, how will the tribes that were originally cultivated for them be settled?

Chen Zhengtai said: "What's more, barren land, doesn't it cost anything?" Your land is barren, and if you want to cultivate it later, you will need to reclaim it with time and effort. Not to mention, every piece of land needs to pay a certain tax, and you don't have any output, isn't this tax paid in vain? Not to mention, the family has a big business, because there was a lot of output in the past, so the life was extravagant, which family is not a servant like a cloud, fine clothes and food, once they are allowed to reduce their use, this is more uncomfortable than killing them. ”

People are different.

A person earns three thousand a month, then he feels that three thousand can barely feed himself. can make a person with a small goal a year suddenly reduce his income to 10 million, even if he is still rich, but the sharp decline in income will also make them have a huge sense of loss and anxiety.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally seemed to gradually understand, nodded and said, "So...... What do we do next? ”

Chen Zhengtai said with a smile: "It's very simple, next ...... Your Highness must never leave me. ”

Li Chengqian was stunned and said, "Why? ”

"I'm afraid I'm in danger." Chen Zhengtai said honestly: "With His Royal Highness by his side, he can dispel many people's thoughts. ”

Li Chengqian was surprised: "What, someone else would want to kill you?" They're so bold. ”

"Logically speaking, no." Chen Zhengtai said very seriously: "Just like when Emperor Yang of Sui was there, he did things that endangered some clans, causing turmoil in the world, but ...... Has the clan ever come out to kill Emperor Yang of Sui? ”

Li Chengqian said: "You wait, think about it first." ”

"Don't think about it." Chen Zhengtai said: "Such a family is rare, just like your Li family, junior brother, the world is reversed, don't your Li family still say that they want to be loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui in Taiyuan?" When the overall situation was fixed, the anti-Sui banner was raised in Taiyuan. The more people with big families and big careers, the less desperate they are, and people from a background like junior brothers, even if they have great resentment in their hearts, they will be obedient on the surface, and when those ordinary people shake the foundation of Emperor Wen of Sui, this is a fatal blow. So...... I can assure you that no one will dare to do anything to me, and although many people wish that a few commoners would come and hack me to death, and that they would gladly come and collect the body, they would not dare if they were involved. ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he suddenly felt as if his family seemed to be a little obscene, obviously ...... My father and grandfather were very strong, okay.

Li Chengqian said depressedly: "If you give an example, you will give an example, why do you want to cite my family?" ”

Chen Zhengtai smiled awkwardly and said, "For example, for example, this is because he treats His Highness as a brother and spits out the truth." But although I expected that no one would dare to do anything to me, there is no guarantee that someone will be dizzy, the junior brother is good at arching horses, strong martial arts, and there are many guards around him, all of them are tigers, with His Royal Highness by his side, I can also feel at ease, in the future, we will eat and sleep together, and it will be good to sleep together? ”

Li Chengqian thought about it, it made sense, and he decided to forgive Chen Zhengtai.

"What's next, what do we do?" Li Chengqian felt that every time he was with Chen Zhengtai, he was like a curious baby.

"Add fuel to the fire." Chen Zhengtai smiled meaningfully and said, "Wait and see, there is a good show to watch." ”

The two of them were idle, and they had reached Erpigou.

Chen Zhengtai ordered someone to call the third uncle: "Third uncle, have you bought all the land that you bought at the beginning?" ”

"I bought it, and I bought a lot." The third uncle looked distressed: "The land I bought at the beginning, why did the land price drop in a blink of an eye?" ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "I have a lot of use to take all the land deeds that I purchased." ”

At this time, the third uncle subconsciously glanced at Chen Zhengtai seriously, and then realized that Chen Zhengtai seemed to be planning something, and all of a sudden, he cheered up!

He watched Chen Zhengtai grow up, especially this year, Zhengtai surprised him too much, so he hurriedly said: "Go and get it, let's go get it." ”

Immediately, his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, and when he saw the court clothes that Li Chengqian was wearing, he said in surprise: "Dare to ask this is His Royal Highness the Prince......

Li Chengqian was quite polite to the Chen family, and said with a red face: "Lonely, I don't know who the old man is?" ”

The third uncle was excited, and hurriedly said: "The contemptible Chen Chang is Zhengtai's third uncle." ”

Listen to the third uncle...... Li Chengqian's face was pulled down, and then his face was pinned to the side, as if he didn't see the third uncle.

The third uncle was suddenly embarrassed, coughed, and saw that Li Chengqian didn't react, so he went unhappy.

Damn it...... Seeing this, Chen Zhengtai thought to himself, everyone doesn't like the third uncle.

…………

Broker.

Recently, the tooth shop in Higashi has finally regained some popularity.

After all, the land has fallen by three percent, and after such a sharp fall, some people finally began to think...... It's so cheap, why don't I buy some ideas.

There are people who buy the bottom, there are people at any time.

It is precisely because of this idea that the price of land has finally shown signs of stopping after experiencing a ** drop.

As far as the dental industry is concerned, they can't ask for it, after all...... It is only when there is a sale that they are profitable.

Whether it rises so much that no one sells land, or it plummets to land that no one cares about, it is not a good thing for Yaxing.

Zhou Dongjiale of Yaxing bloomed, but whenever someone came in, he greeted him politely, and then pointed to the dazzling land signs on the wall, and let people choose.

Now there are too many land sales, and the first thing that can't bear it is the ordinary small landlords, and the land is too hot to keep, so it is better to exchange it for money.

Copper coins and gold and silver were definitely hard currency in this era.

Because the output of this thing is very stable, so the money circulating in the market is more precious, in the past, you had 20 copper coins, maybe last year you could buy three feet of cloth, if you save at home, you may be able to buy four feet of cloth.

The limited output of gold, silver and copper coins led to deflation throughout the early Tang Dynasty to a certain extent, everyone was very smart, and this real money and silver were more and more valuable to stay at home, if it wasn't for urgent use, who would want to take it out to purchase goods?

In people's minds, there are only two things that maintain value all the time, one is money and the other is land.

Now the land market is clearly starting to be unstable, and it is gradually ...... It has given many people the idea of exchanging land for money, and then accumulating it to maintain their own family business.

At this time, a strange guest came to this tooth shop.

The guest came in, with a lot of strength behind him, panting and carrying several large boxes.

When Zhou Dongjia saw it, he was startled, ah, someone came in with a box and money...... It seems to be a big deal.

"Virtuous brother, contemptible ......"

"My name is Chen Fu, and I was ordered to sell the land, and I came to ...... Open the box. ”

Chen Fu looked very domineering, and turned his head to look at the few strong forces behind him.

So the men opened the big box.

Zhou Dongjia was stunned when he saw it.

He thought that the box he had brought was filled with copper coins.

I thought it was a big deal.

Who knows, what people bring is actually boxes of land deeds.

This title deed...... I'm afraid there are more than 100,000 of them.

Of course...... This certainly would not have been the original title deed, and should have been copied separately.

Chen Fudao: "All these lands must be hung up and sold, and all of them will be sold." ”

Zhou Dongjia almost fainted, he didn't even have to look at it, he knew that these lands were at least hundreds of thousands of acres.

He had never seen such a big deal in his life, and to be precise, he would definitely not have seen it in his previous life.

Zhou Dongjia suddenly trembled, and said tremblingly: "Dare to ask, what is the price?" ”

"What is the price?" Chen Fu glared at him: "Of course, you can sell it at any price, what you want is to sell it quickly." ”
