Chapter 1384: Childe is raising pigs

Cai Ji did not accompany Cao Shuo back to Shouchun.

With a few of his men, he headed straight in the direction of the road he was building.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao accompanied Cao Shuo to go back.

"What is Captain Cai going to do when he comes back this time?" Walking beside Cao Shuo, Deng Zhan said confusedly: "Could it be that he just took his son to see the road?" ”

"What do you think?" Cao Shuo asked him.

Deng Zhan shook his head.

He really didn't understand what Cai Ji was going to do.

"Did General Zhu see it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"General Deng didn't see it, and I definitely can't see it." Zhu Ao replied.

"Of course he came back for a purpose, and that purpose has been achieved." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Cai Ji, this guy, has actually learned not to say anything, let me guess." ”

"What do you mean by ......," Deng Zhan asked in surprise.

"It's clear he's coming back for benefits." Cao Shuo said: "He knows that I will never be stingy with the soldiers under my command and the people who do things for me, so he came back to complain about all kinds of grievances. If you don't believe it, in less than two days, a large number of winter clothes and meat will be produced in the treasury. ”

"Will General Cai still do this?" Deng Zhan pursed his lips: "Childe knows his intentions, how can he still satisfy him?" ”

"He's not trying to fill his pockets, what can't he be satisfied." Cao Shuo said: "The road is very important, whether a place is strong or not, the key is to look at the road." Although a lot of money was invested in the construction, when it was repaired, the benefits were endless. ”

He continued: "With good roads, people will travel more quickly, and there will be a lot less time for goods to be transported from place to place. There is less time spent on the road, and the merchant will choose where to trade, needless to say, you should all understand. ”

"Childe is thoughtful, no wonder all places are different now than when we just conquered them." Deng Zhan said: "I remember that when I first came to Shouchun, the people here even had to borrow food from the government. In some families, the eldest daughter and the little daughter-in-law have no clothes to wear in winter, so they can only nest naked at home. Many families even have a set of clothes that can go out. ”

"That's Yuan Shu's sin." Cao Shuo said: "The people are so bitterly squeezed, the people can't eat enough, they can't wear warm clothes, their families are not rich, where will we collect taxes in the future?" Squeeze them to the point that they can't survive, they just dry up and fish, and in the end they don't even have anything to squeeze. ”

"That's what Childe said." Deng Zhan said: "It's just that Gongzi has invested too much in the past two years, and even when people have children, Gongzi has to give them benefits." The government still has to raise children for them. ”

"The people used to live hard, let them have children, can they afford to raise them?" Cao Shuo asked.

"But now they can afford it." Deng Zhan said: "There is no need to ......"

"It's still necessary." Cao Shuo said: "Some people refuse to have more children for the sake of their own stable life. What I want now is the population, and the more the population, the more we will be able to grow in the future. ”

"I don't really want to." Deng Zhan shook his head: "It's only been two years since the nearby sons came here, and there are actually more children than adults in each village. And the boy also has to go to school for both boys and girls, which costs ......"

Deng Zhan sighed.

Cao Shuo's current expenses are indeed a lot, if it weren't for the excavation of the ancient tombs in the Golden Camp and the prosperity of Lingyun Pavilion's business, he would not have been able to afford to raise so many people.

"Actually, I still give very little to the people." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "They give birth to children, and I will give some rewards." When a child grows up, it doesn't take much money to enter the school. As for the children's food and clothing, those are their parents'. ”

"How many benefits does Childe plan to give?" Deng Zhan said: "Nowadays, as long as it is the children of the common people under the rule of Gongzi, most of them are supported by Gongzi. It is better for the people to be fed and clothed. ”

"We'll be able to collect taxes in a few years." Cao Shuo said: "And the population is growing, I don't want them to blindly live randomly. When this generation passes and the next generation is raised, there will be no incentives. They will give birth if they want to, and I will not force them if they don't want to give birth. But now I need a population, a lot of people. That's at least 10 times the current population. ”

"General Deng said this." Zhu Ao, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Childe, this is raising pigs." ”

Cao Shuo and Deng Zhan were stunned.

Then the two laughed.

"I wish the general either not to speak, and the words he says are always so unexpected." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Although there is a lot of investment, it is also to increase the local population, how can it be related to pig raising?" ”

"I think it's like that." Zhu Ao came up with such a sentence, and didn't say anything more.

"You say yes, yes!" Cao Shuo greeted the two: "Let's go back to Shouchun soon, there are still many things to do in the city." ”

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao responded, followed behind Cao Shuo with the guards, and rode their horses all the way in the direction of Shouchun.

Cao Shuo was busy preparing military affairs and developing the local economy in Shouchun.

Before you know it, a month passes.

Cao Shuo, who stayed in Xiao Qiao's room, got up early in the morning.

Pushing open the door, he felt a cool wind rushing towards him.

There was also a strong dampness in the wind.

The courtyard was white, and the night before it was only cloudy, and it was only after one night, and it actually snowed so heavily.

Before he had time to make up, Xiao Qiao's makeup was messy and looked very lazy.

Walking behind Cao Shuo, she saw that the courtyard was full of snow, and she said in surprise: "It snowed last night?" ”

Stretching out his hand to wrap his arms around her slender waist, Cao Shuo said, "Yes, I also know that it is snowing." ”

"My husband and I didn't even notice it." Xiao Qiao said: "I slept too heavily this night. ”

"Even if we're not asleep, we wouldn't have known it's snowing." Cao Shuo grinned at her: "I'm just busy doing serious things between husband and wife, where will I notice this." ”

Snuggled up to Cao Shuo, Xiao Qiao whispered with some grievances: "My sister has left a child for her husband, but my belly is ......."

"Didn't I know that you were in a hurry, so I came to take care of you?" Cao Shuo said with a smile.

"I hope I can successfully conceive for my husband." Xiao Qiao lowered his head, although his cheeks were not flushed, he was still delicate and infinitely beautiful.

"Your singing and dancing are a must." Looking at the snow-covered courtyard, Cao Shuo said, "How about singing and dancing for me in this snowfield?" ”

"I'll let the maid prepare the yaoqin." Xiao Qiao asked, "What tune does the husband want to watch?" ”

"The "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" I brought back from the Huns, will you?" Cao Shuo asked.
