"Minfu? How many men does the king want to recruit? Approximately how long? ”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Chen Lin was shocked at first, and then bitter.

During the reign of Emperor Taishang, all men over the age of 20 would be granted 100 acres of land. Among them, 20 acres are Yongye fields, which can be passed down from generation to generation, and 80 acres are mouth fields, which are to be returned to the imperial court after death.

If you take the land of the imperial court, you will naturally have to pay taxes to the imperial court.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, both rich and poor must pay a certain amount of grain and silk cloth, and at the same time serve the government for 20 days a year - it sounds very fair, the court gives you land, you pay the rent, and provide a certain period of free service, which is considered an equivalent exchange.

In fact, in this era of vast land and sparse population, this is indeed a good law.

And the reason why Chen Lin was so bitter was that he heard Li Yuanjia's words that he wanted to recruit people's husbands. Because as the assassin of Luzhou, and at the same time the most honorable prince in this realm, Li Yuanjia will definitely not be able to stop Chen Lin from using the people to do anything, but there are so many people in Luzhou, and there are already arrangements for what the people are recruited every year, in case King Xu needs a large number of people, and it takes a long time......

As if he didn't see Chen Lin's embarrassment, Li Yuanjia said lightly: "I haven't figured out how many people I will use and how long it will take, so I will ask Chen Beijia first, how many people can be recruited at one time near Luzhou City?" ”

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin replied respectfully: "If it is only near Luzhou City, about a thousand people can be recruited at a time!" If the range is widened, the distance is about a day, and 2,000 people should be no problem! ”

"Oh, that's a lot!"

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Li Yuanjia was suddenly taken aback!

Luzhou City is such a big and small place, in Li Yuanjia's eyes, at most it is the level of a town, usually he is not even interested in going out shopping, but he didn't expect to be able to recruit autographed people all at once? If you think about it, this place is quite interesting!

“……”

Looking at Li Yuanjia's surprised look, the corners of Chen Lin's mouth twitched, slightly embarrassed.

King, are you also the history of Luzhou Thorn?

's own fiefdom, he couldn't even figure out these most basic things, and Chen Lin didn't know for a while whether he was complaining that people didn't care about political affairs, or that he and other officials were too incompetent to assist in the assassination......

However, depressed to depressed, there are some things that Chen Lin still has to figure out, so after hesitating for a while, he asked carefully: "Wang, I don't know how big a project you want to do when you recruit people?" I'll give you a math and see how many people are needed and how long it will take to get it done. ”

After saying this, Chen Lin was quite apprehensive.

Recruiting people's husbands, in addition to overhauling pavilions and pavilions for himself, what else can a prince like Li Yuanjia do? After all, this is a common problem of emperors and princes, and it is the case in all dynasties, even Yang Jian, who was known as Wen in the former Sui Dynasty, and today's saints are no exception, so it seems that it is not surprising to think that a young man like Li Yuanjia seems to want to build a lot of construction in the Luzhou Government Office.

Merely......

After asking the question just now, Chen Lin couldn't help but start thinking about how to dissuade the king, at least let him limit the scale of the project to a certain range.

This Datang world, after all, has only been stable for a few years?

Even this year, there are still several rebellions in several places, and there have just been floods in 30 states, and the imperial court is still stretched thin in many places. Luzhou is not a big state, and its financial and material resources are quite limited, so if the project is too big, I am afraid it will be really unbearable.

"Hmm...... How big of a project? ”

Regarding Chen Lin's question, Li Yuanjia was also a little at a loss for a while.

Today, he heard the news of the flood in 30 prefectures in Shandong and Henan, so he suddenly had a whim and wanted to carry out a "people's livelihood" project. But how exactly should this project be done, how big should it be, how many people would be needed, and how long would it take...... The former surgeon, now Xu Wang, said that he was also confused!

As soon as he saw his expression, Chen Lin immediately understood it.

Resisting the urge to complain in his heart, Chen Beijia asked patiently: "King, first tell me how many pavilions you want to build, and how large are they?" I'll help you plan ......"

"Pavilion? What pavilion? ”

Without waiting for Chen Lin to finish speaking, Li Yuanjia had already raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "I just want to build a sewer system in Luzhou City, what does it have to do with the pavilion?" ”

"Sewers? What's that? ”

After listening to Li Yuanjia's words, Chen Lin was suddenly stunned......

……

After sending away Chen Beijia, who still couldn't figure it out, Li Yuanjia finally shook his head after muttering for a while at the door of the small courtyard, admitting that he had really thought things too simple.

Luzhou City is indeed not big, even if the whole city is dug through, the total length of the sewers should not be too scary. At least compared to the huge projects of Emperor Tang Ming in the Luzhou government office in the future, it is nothing at all. But when he suddenly thought of this idea because of the flood, Li Yuanjia ignored the fact that for Chen Lin and them, even if you want to build pavilions and pavilions, it is understandable, after all, those are real things, but countless pipes are built under the city that cannot be seen or touched, just for drainage......

Wasting people's power to build it, is there a gross use?

"And how to fix it, and who to let it repair, is also a problem!"

Turning around and returning to the middle of the small courtyard, Li Yuanjia looked up at the clear blue sky and slowly frowned.

The sewer system in the city, Li Yuanjia will definitely repair it!

Especially after hearing the news of the flood in Thirty Prefectures, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but be a little worried - there must be a big epidemic after the flood, which is something that is difficult to avoid in ancient society.

The topography of Luzhou City makes it difficult to be threatened by floods, but Li Yuanjia knows very well that this does not mean that it will not be threatened by infectious diseases. And what faster and more efficient way to stop the spread of most infectious diseases than an unobstructed sewer system?

And......

"Even if you don't consider the problem of infectious diseases, just to improve the living environment, sewers are necessary!"

Li Yuanjia thought of the muddy roads in Luzhou City after the thunderstorms in the summer, the muddy well water, and the mosquitoes and flies that were extremely annoying all summer - all of this is closely related to water!

So after thinking about it, Li Yuanjia quickly made up his mind: "First find out what technology and how much manpower and financial resources are needed to build sewers, and then see if you can do it...... No, let's do it as much as we can! Let's not talk about whether I will stay here for the rest of my life, even if I will be transferred to other states in the future, I will always leave a little mark of Li Yuanjia here, right? ”
