Chapter 105: Land
"What, to mourn the family's piety? It's a shame that he came up with it. Ah Qian has followed me since the first emperor, I don't agree! Empress Dowager He was furious when she heard this.
"Ah Niang, this woman is not a big girl, you can still let Ah Qian stay with you for a lifetime." Li Ji was in Jishan Palace, followed by He Fuquan's two doglegs.
Empress Dowager He is very fond of these two palace maids Ah Qiu and Ah Qian, although these two are maids, but the Empress Dowager has always treated them as her own daughters.
Marrying a general is not what Empress Dowager He wants. She wanted to wait for these two girls to grow up, either stay by Li Ji's side and be a concubine, or marry the sons of those princes and ministers.
These generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, Empress Dowager He doesn't like them very much.
"Emperor, there are still a few people fighting on this battlefield, and the mourning family doesn't want Ah Qian to be a widow early."
"A-Niang, although this Pan Da is vulgar, he is loyal to our Datang. This Yique County copper mine is the top priority, this money and grain is related to the country, and the child wants to transfer him to Yique County. First, it is the gateway to the capital, and people must be stationed there. In addition, the child wants to make him a salt and iron degree envoy again, and let him be in charge of mining in the mine. ”
What kind of person is this Empress Dowager He, once it is related to the country's affairs, she will not hesitate at all: "Ji'er, A-Niang is always a woman's family, but I didn't expect this." This happy event should be done, and it needs to be done! ”
Li Ji was overjoyed when he heard this: "Son, let's go and order someone to prepare."
……
The loser Zhu Youneng lost Li Ji, a dog meat friend, it was really boring.
He sat on the couch in the Guangwang Mansion, crossed Erlang's legs, and was bored with a branch in his mouth.
"Second son, let's go fight crickets?" Wangcai asked, standing aside.
"No, no."
Laifu knelt on the ground and beat Zhu Youneng's legs: "The villain heard that a new Qinglou has opened in the east of the city, and the girls there are smart and tender." As he spoke, his eyes glowed green.
"Get out of the way," Zhu Youneng kicked him aside: "This son quits sex and prostitution, and he will have to mention women again in the future."
Laifu and Wangcai glanced at each other, and both of them felt strange, isn't this Zhu Gongzi stupid, why is this not like him at all.
The fighting crickets don't go, the fighting cocks don't go, the dice rolling is not interested, the Qinglou is not interested, why does Zhu Youneng suddenly seem to have changed as a person.
"Master Zhu, Your Majesty is invited." Youwei walked in from outside the house.
Youwei entered the mansion without the need for the family to report, so he went straight in.
As soon as he heard that it was Li Ji who summoned him, Zhu Youneng was immediately happy, and he got up in a hurry: "Li, what is that Your Majesty looking for me, is it going to fight cocks?"
Youwei shook his head: "Your Majesty recruited you into the palace to discuss something."
"Oh, let's go, then." Zhu Youneng patted his ass and stood up: "You don't know, this Brother Li didn't come to play with me, but he suffocated me to death." As he spoke, he walked out with Youwei.
Wangcai and Laifu are looking at each other in the back, have a basis? It's a real hammer.
Li Ji has changed and has become very majestic. Zhu Youneng entered the Ming'an Palace and was stunned because Brother Li didn't dare to shout out, but saluted respectfully: "Minister Zhu Youneng has seen Your Majesty."
Li Ji said "um", abandoned the left and right maids, and left only Fuquan.
The maids saluted and withdrew, and Li Ji stood up and patted Zhu Youneng on the shoulder: "Brother Zhu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's been good lately."
Zhu Youneng scratched his head: "It's okay, it's just that I don't have His Majesty to play with, it's very boring."
Li Ji laughed: "This time I will find you a fun thing, I guarantee you like it."
Zhu Youneng's eyes immediately lit up: "What, what's fun?"
"Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to do business with you, and I wanted to build a glass factory."
What Zhu You could hear was in the clouds: "What, what factory?"
"You don't have to worry about any factory, this glass factory can't be built overnight. I want to take it step by step, I don't have much money, building the factory is a matter of the future, and now I want to hand over the most important things to you. ”
Zhu Youneng patted his chest: "Your Majesty, but if you have something to order, you will be."
Li Ji smiled, stretched out three fingers and rubbed: "Borrow 5,000 yuan."
Zhu Youneng almost didn't choke: "Five, five thousand? Even if I sell all my Guangwang Mansion, it's not worth so much. ”
"I didn't borrow you in vain, counting the interest, I promise to pay it back in three months."
It's not about money, it's still a good brother, if you want to be a brother, don't talk about money, Zhu Youneng looked embarrassed: "It's not that the minister refuses, but it's really not that much."
Li Ji actually knew that King Guang's Mansion was rich, but Zhu Youneng didn't have much money, and the money was from his father, King Guang Zhu Quanyu.
"Well, I don't have to borrow money. You lease 200 hectares of land in the Guangwang Mansion to me, and I will give you rent every year at the market price. Li Ji finally showed his fox tail, which was his real purpose.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the land annexation was serious, and the Guangwangfu owned more than 400 hectares of land.
What kind of concept is this, one hectare is fifty acres, and four hundred acres is twenty thousand acres.
Don't be intimidated by this number, the ancients produced very little food. One mu of land and 200 catties of grain is considered a high yield, and an ordinary ten-person family has to plant at least one hectare of land to barely solve the problem of food and clothing, so the 400 hectares of land in his Guangwang Mansion is not much.
200 hectares, 10,000 acres. Li Ji suddenly asked for so much land, Zhu Youneng really didn't understand what he wanted to do.
"Brother Li, these 200 hectares of land are all given to you. Those tenants have no way to live, you are the emperor, what do you want so much land for? "In a hurry, Zhu Youneng won't call him Your Majesty anymore, who let you not look like an emperor and come to bargain.
"I can hire those tenants together, I want so much land, how can I do it without anyone to cultivate it." Li Ji said mysteriously.
Zhu Youneng was even more puzzled: "Brother Ming's accounting, Brother Li, you will say it clearly, what do you want to do?"
Li Ji whispered: "I got some crop seeds, which are not owned by the Central Plains. It is from overseas Xianshan, and I want to plant it in the capital to relieve the suffering of the people's lack of food. ”
In fact, since Zhu Wen was executed, the system that Li Ji carried with him lit up with a red light. The system shows that 10,000 catties of sweet potatoes can be produced. What is this concept, once these sweet potatoes are used as seedlings, they can meet the sowing of nearly 10,000 acres of land.
Once the sweet potatoes are ripe in autumn, they can solve the problem of food and clothing for hundreds of thousands of people. With this unnatural amount of grain, Li Ji is still worried about not being able to recruit soldiers.
Yique County produces copper, which can be used to make money. Luoyang sweet potatoes can produce grain. With money and food, Li Ji had the capital to start a war with the feudal town.
Once these self-respecting feudal towns are taken, the Tang Dynasty will truly have hope for revival. Li Ji's borrowing of money was fake, and it was true that he forced Zhu Youneng to lease the land of Guangwangfu to him.
There is also a lot of land in the Liang Palace, and most of Li Ji has been divided into meritorious ministers. He now has crop seeds, but the only thing he lacks is land, so he started the idea of Zhu Youneng, a loser.
PS: I really don't know much about ancient land data, so don't study it in detail if you examine it.
