Mrs. Ye no matter what, she doesn't think that she is eligible to enjoy 3,000 food estates, and her grandson fought hard for more than half a year and killed the Khitan Emperor in exchange for the food estate, which can be obtained just by incubating eggs and raising chickens, which is too unreasonable, not to mention that this method is still Ye Hua's idea, she just helped realize it.

Ye couldn't argue with Li Gu, so he could only let Ye Hua go and tell him, asking His Majesty to take back his order.

"Your Majesty will not take back the order, and the old man also takes it for granted!"

Li Gu smiled and said: "Champion Hou, the old man has gained a lot of knowledge these days, you are right, let everyone go to the fields, it is impossible, there are people with great manpower, some people have small manpower, some people can give birth to sons, and some people can't give birth to sons, or for decades, the difference appears, and the uniform field system cannot be maintained." So, you proposed to encourage business and industry to walk on two legs, and this advice is very clever! But how can we encourage industry and commerce, and what deeds are worthy of reward? ”

"The method of incubating eggs invented by the old lady is very good, and ordinary women and children can hatch eggs and raise chickens at home without young labor, and sell them to make money, without much effort. If everyone has an egg in their bowl every day and can eat chicken once every ten days, the world will be prosperous! ”

Li Gu's face was full of longing, as if he had set a great goal.

Ye Hua couldn't say anything, poverty limited the imagination of the prime minister...... However, Li Gu's thinking made Ye Hua refreshed.

This guy's brain power is indeed not weak, encouraging a side business such as breeding, digesting too much labor, is indeed a way to alleviate land annexation, even if 10,000 steps back, land annexation is still the same, and the people who have no land can still make a living by breeding...... Just raising chickens, promoting it to the entire Great Week, it is not difficult to solve the employment of hundreds of thousands of people, if you look at it this way, it makes sense to give the old lady 3,000 households!

Yes!

Ye Hua's brows suddenly jumped, and his fists clenched!

"Li Xianggong, you are so calculating!"

Ye Hua was angry, and Li Gu smiled.

"Champion Hou, the old man thought you could figure it out immediately, it looks like you're still a little hot!" The old guy didn't hesitate to laugh at Ye Hua, Ye Hua almost wanted to catch him, tear up the nasty old face, and throw it on the ground to feed the chickens!

Where did he give the old lady food, it was obvious that the old lady would teach these people to hatch eggs and raise chickens, and then supply the needs of Kaifeng. Ya's belly is calculating, and she came to sell it, it's just begging!

"Grandmother is too old to drive!" Ye Hua gritted his teeth and categorically refused.

Li Gu didn't care, "It's okay, if the champion Hou is willing to do it for him, the old man doesn't care!" ”

"You...... Raising chickens needs feed, they need space, I don't have the money! ”

"I've got you covered." Li Gu took out a map, and he drew a circle to the east of Kaifeng, including the village where Ye Hua originally lived, a total of more than a dozen villages, all of which were between Bianshui and Wuzhang River, and the land was flat and fertile, which was most suitable for farming.

"Champion Hou, you and the old lady have a total of 6,000 households, according to two dings per household, 200 acres of land are granted, a total of 1.2 million acres, and 300,000 acres are actually granted, all of which are here!"

Hearing 1.2 million mu, Ye Hua was quite happy, and he said that he had given a lot, but at once it was discounted to 300,000 mu, Ye Hua's eyes widened.

"Li Xianggong, I need an explanation, did you embezzle all my land?"

Li Gu waved his hand again and again, "Champion Hou, you have wronged the old man, around Kaifeng, it is already densely populated, after the saint ascended the throne, from Hedong, Yanyun came to more than 100,000 people, and with the addition of generals in the army, the land is not enough." If you are too little, then the old man will only give you land west of Kaifeng, or further away. Why don't I arrange for you to be in Chang'an, or Qinzhou, or Fengzhou? ”

Ye Hua was completely defeated by the old scoundrel, "Why don't you seal me to Yizhou?" ”

Li Gu said with a smile: "When the sage destroys the Shu Kingdom, the old man will definitely do what you wish!" ”

Seeing Ye Hua's eyebrows raised, Li Gu hurriedly explained: "Don't look down on this place, the water source is abundant, the irrigation is convenient, the land is fertile, these 300,000 mu are planted with grain, and the annual output is worthy of a low-class mansion, don't be dissatisfied!" ”

Ye Hua snorted, "If I only know how to grow grain, are you willing to give me such a large piece of land?" ”

Li Gu blinked, and suddenly laughed: "You finally admit that this land is not small...... Well, the old man still has something to do, farewell! ”

This one patted his ass and left with his big sleeves flicked.

Ye Hua smacked at her back and smacked hard!

These old guys are all monkeys who have become fine, and if they suffer a loss, they will immediately make up for it. It seems that he has given himself a lot of benefits, but he is forcing himself to work for him, which is really calculating!

Ye Hua hung his head, saw his grandmother, and told him about the matter.

"Big Mom, don't have any apologies, Li Gu has beautiful hands, buying horse bones for thousands of catties, which not only encourages the craftsmen, but also forces us to work, the best of both worlds."

also groaned for a while, and suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at Ye Hua's head, "Do you think that the eldest mother is old and useless, and she is a useless old bone?" ”

Seeing that the old lady was angry, she hurriedly waved her hand, "No, absolutely not!" ”

Ye snorted, "Forgive me and don't dare, don't be stunned, it's February, it's not far from spring ploughing, you can't miss the farming time!" You are all too young, you have never planted the land, how to get it, you don't know it, Big Mom has to teach you well! ”

The old lady was still a doer, so she found her old clothes, brought all the farm tools that had leveled the back garden, loaded them in the carriage, and waited to leave the city early tomorrow morning.

If it's just the old lady, in the evening, Zhao Kuangyin's mother Du, daughter-in-law He, and even Chai Rong's wife Fu came here, and several women surrounded the old lady Ye and chatted very happily.

Ye told them about plowing the fields and raising silkworms, and several people listened to them with relish and remembered them all. Ye Hua is also thinking about the wealthy lady, who is willing to do the work by herself!

But in reality, it is very different.

Not to mention them, even in the palace, Guo Wei set up a viewing hall and a silkworm palace in the palace, when he arrived at the farm, he had to personally plow the fields, and the nobles in the harem wanted to raise silkworms and reel, and they couldn't be sloppy at all.

At present, it is not a prosperous era of Wufu and the people, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be lifted, and the palace is not spared, let alone the home of the official eunuch.

No one is rich, and there is a lot of food, clothing and flowers, and everyone doesn't mind doing it themselves, not to mention who doesn't want to see with their own eyes how much land the court has given.

The next day, the old lady of the Ye family set out with a group of women.

Ye Hua, Zhao Kuangyin, and a group of other guys obediently followed, came out of the city gate, and arrived at their own territory, Ye Hua only had one feeling, that is, big!

It's really too big!

He rode his horse and galloped against the spring breeze, sweating profusely until he reached the northern border, where he saw the wide Wuzhang River, and boats sailed over the river from time to time. The slender man by the river was shirtless, ropes were tied into the flesh, shouting in unison, dull as thunder, moving forward steadily little by little!

Seeing this scene, Ye Hua's heart suddenly burst into joy!

There are rivers, there are ships, there is a lot to be done!

Ye Hua hurriedly flipped out the map, and checked carefully, the Wuzhang River communicates with Jishui, and along Jishui, it can be passed all the way to Laizhou on the coast!

It can also be transported by river and sea, which is really wonderful!

In Ye Hua's eyes, the Wuzhang River has become a river of wealth flowing with gold and silver! The canal alone is worth it!

At this time, Ye Hua didn't complain at all, he simply wanted to send a pennant to Li Gu,

It took me more than half a day to go around my own territory, and I was satisfied, how many things can be done in such a big place!

Facing the sunset, Ye Hua opened his arms and mouthed, and really wanted to roar proudly: Look, this is all my country!
