This time, Ang Lee took the opportunity to deliver ice cream to play tricks on these poor bear children again, letting the children with better academic performance eat ice cream, and also let them return to the classroom to eat slowly, so that those children who did not have the opportunity to eat ice cream could only drool.

The masters naturally understand Li An's good intentions, the last time Li An proposed to use lunch to deal with these disobedient bear children, it has played a very good role, the discipline of the schoolchildren has been greatly improved, this time, Li An aimed at academic performance, only rewarded good grades, and suppressed students with bad grades, so that it is natural to stimulate children's enthusiasm for learning.

Li An glanced at the eight copies of ice cream that had not been distributed, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "These remaining servings, you can look at it!" The official is going back. ”

After saying that, he left with a group of people, but he didn't plan to leave immediately, at least, near the classroom in front of him, to see the drooling appearance of the bear children.

However, before the bear child drooled, Li Ang heard the movement behind him, and when he looked back, more than a dozen masters were fighting for the remaining ice cream.

"Give me one, this one is mine."

"Oops! You haven't finished this yet? Why do you want more! ”

"These are the rewards given to us by Li Shilang, why do you all have two copies and I only have one?"

"I just finished class, and my throat is very thirsty, give it to me!"

"Oops! Mine, this one is mine, don't grab it! ”

The masters scrambled in the office regardless of their image, and those who didn't understand the situation thought it was a group of gangsters? This is especially true of the popularity of ice cream.

"Hey! For the sake of a bite to eat, you actually don't care about your image so much, Yun'er, it's all your fault! ”

Ang Lee sighed.

"Ah Lang, Yun'er is too wronged, what does this matter have to do with me!"

Yun'er said with an aggrieved face.

Li An Zhengse said: "Heh, you are still reasonable!" If you hadn't made ice cream so delicious, would they have been able to do this? ”

"Ah Lang, you have no conscience! It's also wrong to make it delicious. ”

Yuna was even more aggrieved.

Li An smiled: "After telling you, Yun'er is the best, haha!" Let's go and see what the bears look like! ”

As he spoke, he walked to the classroom in front of him to admire the performance of the bear children.

Looking out of the window into the classroom, Ang Lee saw a scene that he would never forget, next to each schoolchild eating ice cream, surrounded by a large group of spectators, and these spectators were all drooling without exception.

Some children will secretly reach out to touch, to ** the cool feeling, in this hot climate, can eat cold food, it is definitely a happy thing.

Of course, there will be some schoolchildren who will try to ask children with ice cream to ask for a bite, but where will the children who already have such delicious ice cream be willing to give up, of course, they refuse.

However, some children have more money in their families, and even take out a lot of money to ask for a bite of ice cream, and some will exchange their learning tools for a bite of ice cream.

In the face of interests, everyone will be moved, of course, schoolchildren will not be an exception, seeing that the children in the same class give themselves so many benefits, he naturally generously agreed, and after accepting the gift, let the other party eat a small bite.

The schoolchildren who ate ice cream had a satisfied expression on their faces, and they did not regret the price they paid, they felt that they had earned it, what did it matter to be able to eat such delicious cold food, pay a little money, and give each other some literature?

Looking at the satisfied expressions of the children who ate the ice cream, the corners of Li An's mouth showed a smile, these children who studied well have become second-class dealers, and they actually started a business with rewarded ice cream, and they have a sense of business at such a young age, and they will have it when they grow up.

However, it is enough to prove that ice cream is an irresistible delicacy, and it is absolutely effective to motivate schoolchildren to study seriously, and if it is invested in the local market, it can also generate a lot of profits and reduce local finances.

"Yun'er, do more when you go back, these masters haven't eaten yet? In addition, the officers and men in the army and the officials also have to be given a little, and everyone goes south with their own officials, and their lives are very hard, and they cannot be forgotten if there are good things. ”

Li An opened his mouth to ask.

Yun'er replied: "Ah Lang, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to do it together after I go back, and I will definitely meet the needs of all the soldiers." ”

"Alright, then, let's go back! It's getting late. ”

Ang Lee led the group back to their residence, preparing to study where to go next.

Ever since the Lion Nation's Mateqin defected, the Lion Kingdom has been mired in serious civil strife, with the new government forces of Mateqin and the loyal followers of the old King Khurram, engaged in one conflict after another, causing great losses to both sides and the loss of many poor people's lives.

However, judging from the strength of the two sides, it is natural that the Ma Teqin side of Toucheng is stronger, and there is also the support of the Tang army and soldiers behind him, so naturally there is no need to be afraid of the power of the old king Kulam.

The back and forth war, the loss of the economy is obvious, the financial pressure on both sides is extremely serious, life is very sad, in order not to collapse, can only increase taxes, the people live in dire straits, only the people on the land ceded to the Tang Dynasty, can live a better life than before.

Looking at the people on the land ceded to Datang, life is even better than before, whether it is the people on the side of Ma Teqin or the people on the side of Kulam, they are very greedy, and many bold people are packing up and preparing to go to the land of Datang to enjoy happiness.

This is similar to when the people of the Chinese Empire were poor in later generations, they would choose to risk their lives and smuggle them to rich foreign countries, so as to make themselves live a better life.

What countries and nations do the common people not think too much about? Where to live well, where to live comfortably, where to live, people's life is very short, why bother yourself?

However, the departure of the common people is a serious endangerment to the special service and Kurram, if all the ordinary people run away, then their taxes will be even more uncollectible, and life will be even more difficult.

In order to prevent the common people from leaving the land of their hometowns, both imperial courts sent soldiers and horses to intercept and punish the fleeing people, hoping to deter these ordinary people and prevent them from running to the land of the Tang Dynasty.

But the existing days are really unbearable, and many ordinary people are overwhelmed by the increasingly serious taxes, and they don't want to live anymore, so why not be afraid of the punishment of the imperial court.

Therefore, whether it is interception or punishment, it will not have much effect, and the people from all over the south will still quietly move to the north and enter the land that already belongs to the Tang Empire.

This is an irreversible trend, no one can reverse it, and the transferred population is still deteriorating, giving the two small courts a headache, and even unable to organize troops and horses to fight each other, and only solving the internal fugitives are exhausted.

The continuous influx of population has made Li An overjoyed, and with sufficient population security, many tasks can be completed at an accelerated pace, especially many major projects that benefit the country and the people can be started immediately.

In Ang Lee's thinking, the construction of ports and the construction of water conservancy are the top priorities, with a good port, in order to promote the development of commerce and trade, so that the local economy can take off, and only the construction of water conservancy can ensure the supply of food, just by eating fish is not enough, the food is too monotonous.

In addition, the local area will certainly be associated with quite a few natural resources. It is also necessary to open the necessary workshops, which are inseparable from a large number of labor, and the large influx of people has solved this problem very well, so that many thorny problems have been solved.

Li An was very excited about the influx of the population, but Ma Teqin and Kuram wanted to cry, Kurram offended Datang, and when he agreed to surrender, he was also put together by the subordinate general Ma Teqin, and he didn't even have a chance to surrender, and he was very helpless to deal with this situation.

But Ma Teqin still has a glimmer of hope, he surrendered to Datang, and his relationship with Datang is not bad, when he encounters difficulties, he can naturally ask Datang to help.

However, at present, Ma Teqin's court still owes Datang a lot of indemnities, and it is a one-cent indemnity, which has not been paid off yet? Continuing to make demands to the Tang Dynasty, the confidence is a little insufficient, but no matter what, for the sake of the stability of the regime, I have to beg the Tang Dynasty.

What Ma Teqin lacks now is money, and the thorny problem is the escape of the people in China, and these two problems are not easy for Datang to help, he already owes Datang money, if he borrows some more, it will be even more difficult to pay it back in the future, the escape of the people is his own problem, what is the use of asking Datang for help.

After much deliberation, Ma Teqin sent his own envoy to negotiate with Li An, and prepared to borrow some more money to relieve the pressure on the new imperial finances, and hoped that Li An would prevent his people from entering the north.

"Li Shilang, Ma Teqin's envoy is here?"

A subordinate reported to Ang Lee.

Li An could probably guess the purpose of the special envoy of the special service, nodded and said, "Let him come in!" ”

"The villain has seen Li Shilang."

The envoy saluted respectfully.

Li An waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, just sit down!" ”

After a brief explanation of their intentions, the envoy pleaded with Li An to save their lives, and without the support of the Tang Empire, the small imperial court would have perished due to financial collapse.

Li An thought for a while and felt that it made sense, if Ma Teqin's small court collapsed, it might not be a good thing for Datang, but Datang's local construction also needed money, and if it supported Ma Teqin's small court, Datang's construction would be affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, in order not to affect the overall situation of the construction of the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time to help Ma Teqin and the small court, Ang Lee must come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

It is said that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and it is not easy to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, after all, there is only so much money, and you can't meet other people's requirements if you spend it yourself.

"I heard that there are more than 3,000 people in your king's backyard, and there are more than 1,000 women alone, so this must be a lot of money!"

Li An said.

"Li Shilang, after all, the king has to look like a king, and there are not many people in three thousand!"

The envoy replied.

Li An nodded and said: "Under normal circumstances, these people are not many, but at the moment, your finances are so difficult, is it necessary to support so many idlers?" What should be cut still has to be cropped. ”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely tell the king when I go back."

The envoy replied.

Li An was embarrassed for a moment, and then said: "I am also engaged in a lot of construction here, and I really can't spare any money to support you, but the merchants who come and go should have a lot of money in their hands, and if you exchange domestic mines and other resources, I believe that these businessmen will definitely agree." ”

"Li Shilang means that we should sell the mine, and this can really be tried."

The Special Envoy felt that this would indeed provide a solution to the temporary dilemma.

Li An continued: "In addition to selling mines and land, the port can also be rented, and it can also be leased! ”

"Yes, yes, what Li Shilang said is so right, it can still be leased, and it can be recovered after decades of lease, which is very cost-effective."

The Special Envoy was very pleased.

Li An smiled and said: "On the merchant's side, this official can help you contact, you go back and ask your king if he is willing to do this, and what the price is." ”

"Yes, Li Shilang, I will go back and discuss with the king in the next place."

The envoy saluted and turned to leave.

Li An smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was really very smart, and he was able to think of such a good way to get the best of both worlds, with this good method, the financial problems of the small court of Ma Teqin could be easily solved.

Selling and leasing land not only allowed Ma Teqin's small court to gain a fortune, but at the same time, these merchants must continue to invest after buying these, for example, when a merchant buys a mine, he can't be idle! Mining must be carried out, and mining mines must use a lot of manpower, and many workers must be paid, so that the workers will have money, and the small court will also receive a certain amount of taxes, in short, it will never be a loss, and it will definitely be a good thing for both sides.

After the envoy went back, he immediately told Ma Teqin about the method proposed by Li An, and when he heard that Li An wanted to cut the people in the backyard, Ma Teqin felt very disappointed, but he could only accept this opinion, because the Lion Country he now controls is only half the size of the previous one, the economy is very withered, and he still owes Datang an indemnity, so it is not okay to save some flowers.

And after hearing the second opinion, to sell and lease fixed assets such as land, Ma Teqin's eyes lit up, such a large piece of land in the north has been ceded to Datang, and it is a big deal to sell a few mines, and it can also be leased.
