Chapter 368: Ploughing
Finally, the so-called "Zhenguan Arithmetic" was completed.
Li Tai was not in a hurry to send it to the palace, so let Li Shimin be anxious first.
Who let Li Shimin always bully himself?
Although in this world, Li Shimin is his own father.
He got up early, and then followed the girls out of the city.
The day before yesterday, Li Shimin was leading people to cultivate in the land of Huangzhuang, and it is said that it was Li Chengqian who led the cattle rope.
This marked that Li Chengqian had once again won Li Shimin's favor, and the ministers began to stir again.
However, these people don't know that in fact, Li Chengqian's position in Li Shimin's heart has not been shaken at all, although Li Shimin does think so.
In the court, now it is starting to be wonderful again.
And during the spring ploughing, there was no shadow of Li Tai, and many courtiers thought that Li Tai was snubbed by Li Shimin again.
I walked out of the city for almost an hour, and finally came to a village.
The old Li Zheng had already been waiting at the entrance of the village with people, and when he saw the arrival of Li Tai and others, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Meet Your Highness!"
Under the leadership of Li Zheng, the people in these villages have confronted Li Tai.
"Tai, I've seen all the elders." Li Tai hurriedly returned the salute.
Although Datang is an era of respect and humility, it is also an era of respecting the old and loving the young.
Although these people are ordinary farmers and Li Tai's tenants, there is no shortage of gray-haired old men among them.
For the elderly, Datang has a lot of respect.
When you live to be 70 years old, you can basically walk sideways on the main road.
Seeing that Li Tai did not oppress people with power, Li Zheng stroked his beard with satisfaction, and nodded with a smile: Sure enough, he came out of the royal family, polite and very royal.
Under the leadership of Li Zheng, Li Tai walked on the country road, and a large field appeared in Li Tai's sight.
"Husband, everything you can see is the field of my Wei Wangfu." The eldest grandson Miruo said proudly.
"So much? This must be more than 100,000 acres, right? Li Tai was taken aback and asked, "If I remember correctly, the field that my father rewarded me with is only 10,000, right?" ”
Li Tai was very surprised, after all, this is not his own fiefdom, how can there be so many fields?
Although the acres of this era are much smaller than those of later generations, this is also a large area.
"It is true that the father's reward is only tens of thousands of acres, but the Wei Wangfu has also made a lot of money this year, especially the last time the husband earned, we all used it to buy the fields around us, so the fields around it belong to us." The eldest grandson Miruo smiled slightly and said, "Husband, I don't know, in Luoyang, we still have more than 100,000 acres of land." ”
"In the future, we are going to buy more fields, don't look at the number of fields, and there will be fewer in the future."
"En, what Sister Chai said is not wrong, taking advantage of the fact that there is a lot of wasteland now, we should buy more."
"In a few years, the price of land will rise, and I won't be able to buy so much."
“……”
The women spoke one after another.
"I'm going to become the big landlord of Datang." Li Tai couldn't help but sigh and said, and at the same time understood one thing, a woman's desire to buy is really strong.
Whether ancient or modern, a woman's favorite thing to do is to buy, buy, buy.
Women in later generations bought cars, houses, bags, clothes, pants and minks.
In ancient times, women were much more single-minded and specialized in buying fields.
"All the money in the family has been spent?" Li Tai asked.
"This ......"
The eldest grandson Miruo and the others smiled awkwardly, and Li Tai understood that the family was poor again.
Loser, what a bunch of losers, I've worked hard to get some money, am I easy?
Li Tai suddenly felt that he wanted to cry without tears.
"You won't rely on the name of the Wei Mansion to oppress the common people, right?" Li Tai asked, this is what he is most worried about, if this group of women use the name of the Wei Wangfu to oppress the people outside, Li Tai will never allow it.
"The husband is too worried, even if the husband is not ashamed, we still have a reputation." The eldest grandson Miruo smiled slightly and said, "We all bought it at a price three times higher than the market price, and we gave it cash, so it's too late for the people to be happy." ”
"Exactly, this morning, there are still a few women waiting in the house for the news of the sale of the land, the husband does not know, and now many people are scrambling to sell the land to us."
"If it's not good, we may not buy it if we sell it."
“……”
Looking at the happy faces of the women, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that the Wei Wangfu has really become a veritable person who is stupid, has a lot of money, and is coming quickly.
The price is three times higher than the market!
With this money, they can buy more fields as soon as they turn around, and then sell them to the Wei Wangfu......
The war at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty reduced the population of China by more than half, and now there are more abandoned fields in the entire Tang Dynasty.
"That's good." Li Tai smiled slightly and said, "Then, these fields will be planted with corn, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc., and our treasures will be planted first, and then other crops will be planted." By the way, the organizers have protected our things, and divided a part of the guards in the palace and stationed them nearby to guard the new crops. ”
"Don't worry, husband, you don't need to worry about this matter, you will start farming tomorrow." The eldest grandson Miruo smiled and said, "I have already organized it, and this thing will definitely not be passed out." ”
"By the way, keep some seeds, and plant them in the house, it seems that you will finally be able to eat corn this year." Li Tai showed a bright smile on his face and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity, if it's in the south, you can still plant it twice a year." ”
"Twice a year?" The eldest grandson couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Yes, spring, summer, autumn and winter, twice a year." Li Tai said with a smile.
"It's incredible, this corn can still be grown in this way."
"By the way, let's plant rape in the surrounding fields."
"Why?"
"Rape flowers, beautiful."
"Hire more people and strive to finish planting during the Spring Festival, we are not short of money. If you are willing to give us a job in the Wei Palace, you will receive a consistent amount of money for one month. ”
“……”
When Lee Tai was inspecting his land, he was in the palace.
Li Shimin frowned.
The eldest grandson Wuji and the others were all called, and they all had a trace of worry on their faces.
Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the emperor should be allowed to go." ”
"Zhijie, tell me the reason." Li Shimin asked.
"Since the Li family of Longxi invited the Emperor Taishang to give a speech at their family academy, His Majesty should beat the gongs and drums and order someone to escort the Emperor Taishang lively." Cheng Yanjin smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, now that you have sat firmly in the world, it is impossible for the Emperor Taishang to reset the throne." ”
"And, Your Majesty, don't forget, we have an artifact." Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Boom, it is torn apart, who dares to compete with Your Majesty?" ”
"Huh?" Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, and after a few minutes, he laughed: "What Zhijie said is not wrong, if it is stable today, it is indeed that I am too worried." ”
"Go and tell the Emperor that he likes to go there in this world, so he will go there." Li Shimin said that the whole person is full of confidence.
"Whoa!"
An attendant answered, and then strode towards the deep palace.
