Chapter 446: Cheng Chumo in the return to the customs

The last issue of Datang Daily before the military parade swearing-in really brought a huge repercussion among the people, first of all, the people know who to sell the grain to, and the price of grain collected by the official warehouse of the court is equivalent to the market price.

Moreover, selling to the imperial court, that is patriotism, contributing to the country, this is what the emperor himself said.

Therefore, from the next day, the grain merchants pressed again and again, the price of grain, which was about to drop to the freezing point, actually began to stabilize and rise, the people are not stupid, knowing that this time the emperor is afraid that his people will be damaged, so he deliberately talked about regulation and control, so even if the merchants who collect grain raise the price again and again, they still choose to sell the grain to the imperial official warehouse, anyway, the price of the official warehouse is also with the merchants to raise the price, keep the market price in the purchase, they know that the official warehouse has more grain, in the future, even if they lack food, You can also go to the official warehouse at a low price and buy it back, so naturally you won't sell it to merchants.

Now those businessmen don't dare to be so irrational and keep raising the price with the imperial court, because after all, Guanzhong has a bumper harvest this year, and next year, the year after that, may continue to have a bumper harvest, they are afraid that the grain will be smashed in their hands, so when the price of grain rises to more than 130 yuan per stone, they will not dare to increase the price, and at the same time, the amount of grain they reserve in their hands is fixed at the moment, because, the more the price rises, the more no people are willing to sell them the grain, and the people have formed some sense of crisis through the propaganda of the newspaper. Sell it to the government, and they can rest assured.

Secondly, it is the people's praise for Li Shimin's merits, and the people spontaneously gave him tens of thousands of truckloads of grain, but he didn't want it, for fear that the people would not live well enough, and the price of grain would be too cheap and he would suffer a loss. Where to find such a good emperor? Who can not listen to such a Ming Jun's words.

Therefore, the next day, the people who sold their grain and got money were especially willing to spend, and the emperor said that when the people had money, they should buy more clothes, new farm tools, livestock, etc., to increase their productivity. Eat more meat, salt, and nourish your body in order to produce better, which is also a help to the country and the emperor, and the people must of course listen to the emperor.

Therefore, Chang'an, as well as the cattle, horses, and livestock markets in the prefectures and counties of Guanzhong, are extremely hot, and even the simple style of cotton summer clothes launched by the garment factory has also skyrocketed, and the rest such as sickles, shovels, shovels, curved ploughs, rickshaws, mule carts, etc., produced in the Weinan factory, have also been shipped in large quantities.

Not only this, is the food stalls on the streets of the county, the business is also booming a lot, Chang'an night market, shopping and eating people are endless, many small stalls with good craftsmanship, and even full of customers, this is the appearance of a bumper harvest in the fields and a good economic situation.

Shelong had a little bit of a feeling for these things, but Zhang Cheng, who came with him, was even more deeply touched, Li Tang really had the strength to eliminate the surrounding barbarians as Wang Hao said, so he had the strength to come to Chang'an this time to successfully complete it, eat, drink and have fun, and wait for Li Shimin to return to Yunnan after the expedition.

But I don't know why, when he walked on the bustling streets of Chang'an, a trace of melancholy and reluctance inexplicably rose in his heart, he grew up in a special environment, and he didn't dare to have the slightest doubt and rebellion against Wang Hao, he just felt that such a beautiful picture should not be destroyed.

Zhang Le Qiujin has been completely corrupted in Chang'an, and in less than half a month, he is a little reluctant to leave here, the mansion given to him by Li Shimin is indeed very large, among those maids, there are two Silla maids, and three maids of the Japanese kingdom, all of whom have been slept with by him.

It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, these prisoners of war, criminals and other third-class citizens can be disposed of by magnates like him, as long as they do not die.

He also wants to spend money to buy more such handmaidens to serve him, but unfortunately, he only has 500 taels a month, and the price of these handmaidens has reached hundreds of guan, and he also wants to buy some sexier orchids, but the price of the top goods is as high as 1,000 guan.

Then, he thought of the suggestion of the housekeeper assigned to him by the emperor, move the clansmen to Guanzhong, they can help themselves earn a lot of money for their own use, in a place like Chang'an, as long as you have money, you can get any refreshing experience that you can't imagine, not to mention a Baizi king, that is, the emperor, there are people who are unwilling to do it, because the emperor does not spend money to enjoy the pleasure.

Therefore, he sent some of his retinue back, and in addition, he also asked Shelong to help after he returned, he knew that Shelong did not want the Zhang family to continue to stay in the old land of Yunnan.

It was not only Zhang Le Qiujin who was happy to return, but also the Yumi father and son of Lingnan, Heicha, and the chiefs of ethnic minorities from all over the Central Plains, who were now very envious of the people who agreed to the arrangement of the imperial court and moved to Guanzhong.

When these people came to Guanzhong, they not only had houses and fertile land, but also had food that could not be eaten for two years when the first summer grain was harvested, and some of them had even bought livestock and mule-horse carts, and it was said that next year, they would live in spacious brick houses.

This is simply incredible, these days in Guanzhong, those chiefs and tribal leaders have visited the new countryside, Guanzhong, as of May this year, there have been nine counties, the implementation of the new rural construction and transformation, it is said that by the end of the year, it will reach more than a dozen, and by the end of next year, it will be fully completed, that is to say, even those Goguryeo people who have been relocated will live in such a good house, so, what reason do they have to prevent their people from living such a good life?

In the ravines and ravines, what if they are the king of heaven and Lao Tzu? Is it good to eat, drink, live and play here?

No.

Therefore, they have been begging everywhere recently, hoping that the emperor will allow them to move to Guanzhong, and after Li Shimin learned about this matter, he has been looking for a department to count the data of fields, houses and other data, to see how many people in Guanzhong are suitable to move over at most.

The political unit in the newspaper, on the largest page, also published another news, the Tang Dynasty is going to restore the Han system, set up Rinan County, a tribal leader named Ba Mu, dedicated the land over a radius of thousands of miles to the imperial court, and has established a city, called Guangzhi City, Li Shimin named Ba Mu as the assassin of Rinan County, the town guard general.

If it is just a barbarian land in the south, everyone does not have an intuitive image of it, but the newspaper said that it is the origin of Champong rice, and then look at the gift of Thorn Shi Bamu of Rinan County to the imperial court, everyone will not dare to underestimate this place, because, even if it is Shangzhou in the Central Plains, there may not be so many taxes and taxes paid to the imperial court in a year.

Just the golden silk nanmu, Bamu has pulled fifty boats, each ship has a good golden silk nan big wood hundreds, this kind of golden silk nan wood, one, the market price in Chang'an is ten runs, the value of a boat, is a thousand, fifty ships, fifty thousand.

In addition, there are 10,000 catties of sandalwood, 3,000 catties of agarwood, 10 elephants, 10 rhinoceros, 10 five-colored birds, 10 adult dragons, gold ore, all kinds of gemstones, a total of one boat, five ships of silver ore, ten boats of copper, although these precious metals are two or three thousand stone boats, but the value of each of these kinds is not low, combined, absolutely more than one million.

In a county place, who would dare to despise something worth more than one million guan worth of tribute to the imperial court at once?

This is no longer a matter of submission of a small barbarian tribe, this is a rich land for the imperial court to expand its territory, because these things that are paid tribute are all produced in that land.

When Bamu escorted these things to the stones of the Weishui wharf, thousands of people crowded to the wharf to watch, those small elephants with long noses, rhinoceros with big horns, and as soon as they called, they stretched out their tails and became big colorful birds in the shape of large fans, in fact, peacocks.

As for the dragons whose mouths are tied with ropes and are very hideous, they are even more amazing to ordinary people, in fact, they are crocodiles.

These things are not only strange to the people of the Central Plains, when they see them subdued and honestly locked in an iron cage, the first intuitive feeling of the common people is that the country is getting stronger and stronger, and even such a ferocious beast has to surrender.

In the early morning, several fast horses came from the west, led by a man dressed in a dirty military uniform, with the buttons on his chest open, revealing thick hair, and the horseshoe knocked sparks from time to time on the wide cement road, but his eyes did not pay attention to this at all.

"What the hell is Guanzhong? Why does Lao Tzu feel like he has gone back to the wrong home? ”

The person who scolded the mother was Cheng Chumo, in the first year of Zhenguan, he was the same as Yu Chi Baolin, he was sent to the army by his father to experience, out of the Guanzhong, and then he never came back, first in Yinzhou Zhichong Mansion as a captain for a year, and later, Cheng Biting Jin out of the town of Yumen Pass, he took him over, and then later, naturally, it was to destroy Jieli, and the army went all the way to the west, occupying Yizhou, Wuzhou, Tingzhou, Xizhou and other places.

He ate the sand in Xizhou for two years before he finally caught an opportunity to return to Chang'an.

When he came, his father Cheng Biting Jin said that in the battle of the Eastern Expedition, the Cheng family must go to people, that is, to run and kill a hundred horses, and he also had to rush to Chang'an before the army set out, so, for more than a month, he only slept for more than two hours a day, and he was on horseback for eight or nine hours, and the calluses on his buttocks were thicker than those on his handboard, and he finally rushed to Guanzhong the day before the army swore in the parade.

Then, there was a scene just now, he is no stranger to cement, as one of the supervisors of Wangjiang Tower, he was one of the first people in Datang to come into contact with cement, however, the cement is so thick that all the main roads in the entire Guanzhong land make him a little confused.

Then, he found that now that he was in a hurry at night, he didn't need to worry about the city gate being closed, because Guanzhong had completely lifted the curfew, and he could immediately eat at the street stalls when he got off the street in a county town, and all kinds of pastries and drinks that were originally only possible in Sun Mansion were sold in these roadside shops, and they were open until midnight.

The most damn annoying thing is that when he came to Jingyang County, he saw a guy riding an iron horse, who was also a son of an official eunuch, and had been bullied by him in Chang'an before.

He is a dignified son of Lu Guogong, but he was ridiculed by others, can he bear it? So, Cheng Chumo got off the horse and snatched the kid's iron horse, but unfortunately, this iron horse only has two wheels, and he can't ride.

Then, Cheng Chumo, who had a sore knee, was fooled, and the kid made a bet with him, his iron horse, and Cheng Chumo rode a war horse, whoever arrived in Chang'an first was the one who won, and the one who loses will give the winner a thousand bets.

Cheng Chumo didn't see that the iron horse was not very fast at first, so he naturally agreed, so as soon as he arrived at the gate of Chang'an City, he owed others a debt of a thousand yuan.

Although the speed of the iron horse may not be as fast as the war horse in a short period of time, the guy can actually ride it all the time, and once the kid rides hard, the speed can be incredibly fast, and his own war horse, running fast for an hour, is almost useless.

In the end, he watched the kid arrive in Chang'an first.

Cheng Chumo said that he was also the son of Lu Guogong, and he couldn't do anything that broke his word and became fat, he owed a thousand guan and he admitted it, and took the opportunity to set up a note, so he began to ask the kid about the origin of this iron horse and how to ride it, and then, he really wanted to use another thousand guan to buy that kid's iron horse.

Fortunately, he didn't bring so much cash and wanted to owe the debt, but the kid didn't agree on the spot, and when he was about to return home with the war horse that was struggling to walk, he found that the officials of a little grade in Chang'an no longer used a carriage to travel, but a three-wheeled car, pedaled by a coachman.

And who the hell has torn down all the walls of the city?

At this moment, the whole Chang'an is extremely strange to Cheng Chumo, when he returned to the mansion, he couldn't find the stable where the horse was tethered, and the original stable location, parked a number of beautifully made tricycles, after meeting his mother Cui, he learned some of the situation in Chang'an from his younger brothers and sisters one after another, and he felt that his life seemed to have missed something very interesting.
