Chapter 50: I'm curious

Huo Quzhi's gift to Li Kang was five catties of gold, which was part of the thirty catties of gold that the emperor rewarded him.

Cao Xiang's gift to Li Kang was sixteen servants, half male and half female, all of whom were in the prime of life.

Yun Lang gave a lot of gifts, silkworm seeds, chicken chicks, duck chicks, goose chicks, piglets, lambs, calves, a complete set of farm tools, and all kinds of Yun's unique seeds.

With these things, a three-hundred-acre estate can be self-sufficient.

Li Dang put a lot of effort into this small manor, from the layout of the houses to the farmland and the arrangement of the mulberry forest, which is exactly the same as the Yun family.

A hot spring on this side of Beishan was introduced into the home, and a one-acre pond was naturally formed in the lowest recess of the Li family's land.

This was specially requested by Li Dang, and he had no money, so his soup pool was paved with pebbles and fine sand, although it was simple, it also had a unique flavor.

Compared with the country, the Han people pay more attention to their own homes, run their own homes well, let the family be passed on from generation to generation, and gradually become stronger, which is the ultimate pursuit of the Han people.

Until now, the rule of the Great Han State over the country is only superficial, that is to say, the rule of the Great Han Emperor ended only in the county, rather than going deep into the pavilion, where there are countless wealthy families, and they firmly grasp all the citizens of the Great Han State.

This is a world in which the royal family uses several large families to rule over countless small families, and uses countless small families to rule everyone.

In many cases, the laws of the Great Han Kingdom were only valid in the land of Gyeonggi, and the farther away from Gyeonggi, the less effective the law of the Great Han would be.

Fortunately, the land of Gyeonggi will always be the political, economic, and cultural center of the Han Kingdom, so there are countless good things flowing from here to remote places.

Let the Han people of those marginal tribes have a sense of hope for the nature of the Great Han Kingdom.

Yuan Shuo plough is Liu Che ascended the throne since the first large-scale gift to the people, it is said that this thing, is the emperor His Majesty night to watch the sky, look down on the geography of the mountains and rivers, and then survey the people's feelings, and finally sleepless for 300 days to develop a good thing for the benefit of the people.

Of course, the historian will not be so shameless, so on a thin slip, there is a line of small words, "In the first year of Yuanshuo, Yunlang presented Yuanshuo plow!" ”

Li Kang's housewarming was originally going to last for three whole days, but after Li Kang's mother asked Li Kang to send seventy percent of the gifts he received to everyone, but Li Kang refused, the housewarming was hurriedly ended in the afternoon of the next day

Li Kang didn't seem to take his mother's angry departure to heart, and his wife Li Yang didn't seem to care.

After Li Yang's housewarming ended, he quickly followed her husband to the Yun family, the Yun family did not have a hostess, and there were a large number of women and children at home, which gave Li Yang's great convenience, except for Yun Lang's bedroom, study, and secret room, he did not let go of any place in the Yun family.

In the past two days, Yun Lang did not go to the wounded barracks to continue to treat those wounded soldiers, but stayed in the Yun clan and waited for the arrival of Gongsun Hong.

As a result, Gongsun Hong seems to have forgotten about it.

After Gillian sold the land of Fugui Town, and sold the shares of the coal and stone firm, and was ready to raise a large amount of money to build the town, Gongsun Hong could no longer sit still, he personally visited Gillian with gifts, and happily bought two percent of the coal and stone firm, and then went home triumphantly.

As for the Yun family, in his eyes, he is a bedbug that is not worth taking care of, if he doesn't catch it, it will suck blood, and it will be very troublesome to catch it, so it is better to let it go.

Gongsun Hong, who returned to the capital, naturally came to Liu Che's face, and after delivering the recital, he knelt quietly on the blanket and waited for the emperor to speak.

Gongsun Hong's recital is very long, more than a dozen catties of recital, Liu Che can only be regarded as finished after reading a pillar of incense.

Put down the twists and turns and asked Gongsun Hong uncertainly: "Can Gillian really build a strong city by herself?" ”

Gongsun Hong opened his closed eyes and arched his hand: "There is a small sample of a rich town in the side hall of the Gillian noble, if the city is built completely according to that small sample, it can be regarded as the second-class city of my Han Dynasty, which surpasses Yanglingyi and is almost the same as Luoyang."

As for the financial resources, Weichen thinks that as long as the Gillian nobles monopolize the silk industry in Chang'an Sanfu, supplemented by poultry breeding, livestock breeding, cattle and horse trafficking, carriage manufacturing, agricultural tool building, and pottery management, it is not difficult to maintain such a city, and their only deficiency is that the population is too small.

Gillian said that population migration is a major event of the country, and she does not want to discuss with His Majesty in private, so as not to fall into His Majesty's unfair situation, and asks Weichen to play on his behalf His Majesty, whether to allow Fugui Town to collect the wild people in Shanglin Yuan, one can increase the population of Fugui Town, and the other can also show the benevolence of our emperor. ”

Liu Che smiled and said, "Why didn't Aiqing mention the official settings and the candidates for the city guards?" ”

Gongsun Hong once again arched his hand and said: "The Gillian nobles hope that Dongfang Shuo will be the magistrate, responsible for managing the taxes, criminal names, and education affairs of Fugui Town. ”

"Where's the castle guard?" Liu Che asked with a smile.

Gongsun Hong looked at the emperor embarrassedly and said: "Appointing Dongfang Shuo as the magistrate of Fugui Town, the Gillian nobles have begged Weichen to say more good things to His Majesty, and he did not hesitate to bribe Weichen with a hundred pearls."

As for the candidates for the city guard, whether it is Gillian or Weichen, they don't think that except for Your Majesty, who else is qualified to decide which general to send to garrison Fugui Town. ”

Gongsun Hongnai is the character in Liu Che's pocket, so Liu Che has nothing to hide, patted the table and smiled: "If Gillian had such an insight four years ago, even if she had no children, I would not have robbed her of the throne." ”

Gongsun Hong said with a smile: "Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and the ancients were honest and did not deceive me. ”

"I heard that Aiqing was once dissatisfied with the Yun clan?"

Gongsun Hong said with a smile: "It's just a knock on the mountain and a tiger, the eldest princess of Changping is like a tigress who protects her cubs, and she can't be easily provoked, and the Gillian nobles are even more eye-catching, and there are few people in the world who can enter her eyes."

Now Wechen heard that the two of them are rich, and the family property they have purchased is even more suspicious of making money every day, and Wechen wants to prepare money and food for His Majesty's great ambition and boldness, and naturally needs to be compared.

The two nobles can't be provoked by waiting for idleness, and Weichen can only beat the weak Yun clan, and then achieve the purpose of making the two nobles wake up, so that they don't forget that as my great Han noble, my family and country are in front, making money is just a means.

Now it seems that the results are good, once Fugui Town becomes a city, and His Majesty sends the city guard, Weichen will naturally go to Dongfang Shuo to ask for the national funds they should pay. ”

Liu Che was very surprised, and felt that it was very incredible that these words could come out of Gongsun Hong's mouth, at least, Gongsun Hong was not so merciful when dealing with salt and iron merchants, let alone giving them enough time.

Gongsun Hong saw that the emperor was puzzled and hurriedly said: "This time is just a temptation, Weichen wants to know whether the Gillian nobles, the eldest princess of Changping, and the Yun family and the Li family know to share the wealth of Fugui Town, and whether they have the idea of turning Fugui Town into a private domain."

Therefore, Wechen proposed to buy two components of the coal and stone firm, and the result was successfully achieved.

They also tested their bottom line on the management of Fugui Town, and as a result, they also achieved their goal, since they have no intention of operating Fugui Town into a monolith, it means that Fugui Town is still under the jurisdiction of my Han.

Nowadays, Fugui Town is in ruins, and it takes a lot of money to run this walled city, so Weichen naturally will not do anything to kill chickens and take eggs.

Wechen has the time and patience to wait for Fugui Town to prosper. ”

After listening to Gongsun Hong's performance, Liu Che nodded with satisfaction: "What Aiqing said is very true, Fugui Town is just a small sample now, I have also seen that small sample, I heard that this thing is completely from the hands of Yun Lang, the layout of the whole city is very reasonable, although there are high walls, there is not too much pursuit of defense."

For this reason, I asked Gillian, and Gillian said: Shanglin Garden is my royal garden, the place where the Son of Heaven outed, only so there is a city wall, in order to facilitate the governance of the rich town, if you also have to take defense as the first priority here, let me be embarrassed by the Han border city.

My opinion is also to see what a group of women and children can turn Fugui Town into, I am very curious. ”

Gongsun Hong laughed and said, "Weichen is also curious!" Hahaha......"
