Listening to Xiao Yu's complaints, and seeing Li Shimin's face becoming more and more solemn, Yang Shidao felt uneasy, and his eyes drifted out from time to time, hoping that Li Chengqian would come over quickly.

Ma Zhou sat under him and saw that he looked uneasy, and quietly patted his hand, signaling him not to worry.

The person who sent the letter to Li Chengqian had already arrived at the Chongjiao Palace, but Li Chengqian was not in the East Palace at this time, so Li Chengqian never appeared.

-------------------

After the tenth pass of the first month, a warm southwest wind has been blowing, and when the southwest wind blows, the land frozen by severe cold and heavy snow becomes brittle.

Industrious peasants began to go to the field, the Tang Dynasty was not like now there are machines that can plough hundreds of acres of land a day, most of the peasants in the Tang Dynasty have no oxen, and there are no plowshares, and it is good for people to have two iron rakes.

If a tenant farmer pays 4 to 60 percent of the land rent first, there are dozens of catties of grain left over from one acre of land, and a family must plant at least 50 acres of land if they want to eat enough food.

According to the speed of ploughing, there is probably more than a month from the New Year to the Qingming Festival, and the farmers generally start ploughing the ground after the spring breeze after the New Year.

The more than 100,000 victims rescued by Donggong last year were the poorest people who had no tools, and Li Chengqian planned to reclaim millions of acres of farmland under the Longshou Plain to feed these people.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Jie and Du He had already asked Zhao Jie and Du He to take people to the Longshou Yuan to start digging irrigation ditches and building houses.

There are not many government affairs today, and when Li Chengqian returned from the mansion of the eldest grandson Wuji, he went out of the city from the north gate of the East Palace, Xuande Gate, to see how they built houses.

When Li Chengqian came to the place where the house was built not far from the Xuande Gate, he saw that there were only more than 100 old and weak people digging soil and burying pillars here.

Obviously asked them to build their residences before the Qingming Festival, but at this rate, if they want to build a place for nearly 100,000 people to live, I am afraid that it will be next year.

Li Chengqian said unhappily in his heart: "Go and find the steward here for King Gu!" ”

After a while, a little old man followed the guards of the East Palace to Li Chengqian, this old man Li Chengqian also knew, it was a plasterer named Juan in Chang'an City, when the house was snowed down, he met Li Chengqian in the Shengdao Fang, he contributed a lot when the Shengdao Fang repaired the house, and was later promoted to be the chief of the body.

"Villain Juan meets His Royal Highness the Prince!" Juan came to Li Chengqian to give a salute.

"Flat, King Juan asked you, why are there only these people here, and when will you be so slow to build the house?" Li Chengqian was very unhappy with those who dared to change his arrangement.

When Juan saw Li Chengqian's words, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince......

"Get up and speak!" Li Chengqian saw that Hu An was frightened like this, and knew that he was getting angry by mistake.

"Alas" Juan struggled to get up again, and then slowly said to Li Chengqian: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is what all of our chief guards and A chiefs discussed and then discussed with Lord Zhao and Lord Du, so that most of the people went to turn over the ground, leaving these old and weak people and villains to continue to build houses here." ”

Li Chengqian was even more puzzled when he heard this, so he wanted to go and see it in person, because he asked Hu Dao: "This is still early before Qingming, what kind of land?"

Take the Lone King to them, and the Lone King will see what they are doing! ”

Li Chengqian turned around and got into the carriage as he spoke, this is now a large wasteland, uneven and full of weeds, and the carriage is slowly rocking and moving forward here.

Li Chengqian was in a worse mood when he sat on the bumpy car, thinking about how these people didn't know what to do? Let him build a house first, and then open up the wasteland and cultivate the land, so that everyone has a place to live, and he can cultivate it with peace of mind.

Why are you so anxious?

A long guard guarded a swaying carriage and slowly came to the bank of a grassy river.

Li Chengqian was helped out of the carriage by the old ghost, and slowly glanced around the people who were working here with a serious expression, not knowing what to say.

Tens of thousands of people are in chaos on this wasteland, some are digging and repairing embankments, some are cutting grass, and some are ploughing the ground.

Li Chengqian got out of the car, and not long after, Du He and Zhao Jie came to Li Chengqian to salute.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As Li Chengqian became busier and busier, and the time spent with the two became less and less, the two people who followed Li Chengqian in the first place were full of awe for Li Chengqian.

"That's it, why don't you listen to my arrangement, build a house and repair the canal first, and then divide the plot to each person according to the direction of the canal, and then let him reclaim it?" Li Chengqian said angrily.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is what we discussed with the chiefs......"

"Why didn't you do what I said?"

Du He was interrupted by Li Chengqian before he could finish speaking.

"If you do everything according to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, you won't be able to plant much land this year, and these people will have to be raised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in winter." Zhao Jie, who was impatient, said the point in one sentence.

"What do you mean?" Li Chengqian realized that there might be a problem.

Du He hurriedly stopped Zhao Jie, and he himself said to Li Chengqian: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, look, these tens of thousands of people have only turned out more than 10,000 acres of land after a day of reclamation. If we wait until the houses are built and the canals are repaired, and everyone has sown seeds, we will start plowing the ground, how much can we plant?"

Li Chengqian looked at them all using iron rakes and iron milling to turn over the ground, and said angrily: "Why don't you use your hands?"

That's slow!

What about the plowshares you bought?

Didn't you ask Li Yifu to give you all the money for the raid?

Why don't you buy some plowshares and ploughing oxen?"

Du He and Zhao Jie were dumbfounded by Li Chengqian's series of questions, Li Chengqian thought that the question was right, and waved his hand and said: "Okay, you have also worked hard, and I can understand some unexpectedly, go and arrange for someone to buy some plowshares and ploughing oxen, or let people build a house and dig a canal first." ”

After a long time, Du He said in embarrassment: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also thought so yesterday. ”

"Oh, what's changed today?" Li Chengqian said curiously.

Zhao Jie saw that Li Chengqian didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he said angrily: "Now that spring ploughing is just around the corner, who took crazy medicine and sold their farming cattle?" We even bought all the plowshares in Luoyang, and we only bought more than 100 in total......"

"Say less!"

Du He saw that Zhao Jie's tone was not good, and he was afraid of angering Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at the place where the grass had been cut in the distance, and sure enough, someone was pulling a plow and turning the ground, because it was far away and few, Li Chengqian didn't notice it just now.

"No one sells the plough ox, and no one sells the plowshare? Is someone deliberately going against the Lone King?" As soon as Li Chengqian's words were finished, his body immediately had a self-respecting momentum, and even Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, who were standing next to him, became serious.

Du He smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I didn't dare to embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince, there are really not so many plowshares to buy, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry too much, we have made a deposit in the surrounding counties, Chang'an Chengdong City and the blacksmith shops in Luoyang, and we can still make hundreds of plow......shares before the Qingming Festival."

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes directly when he heard this: "Then let's fight it ourselves!" ”
