The two acres of fish ponds in front of the village have slowly accumulated half a pond of water.

On the embankment on all sides of the pond, a willow tree has been planted under the spring rain, and on the other slope of the embankment, Li Xiao also specially bought many fruit tree seedlings, planted peach trees, pear trees, plum trees, cherries, loquats, grapes, dates, walnuts, persimmons, chestnuts, pomegranates, etc., these are basically the Tang fruit trees that Li Xiao can find in the Guan, and can be suitable for the climate in the Guan.

After these fruit seedlings were purchased, he also deliberately watered them with the spiritual spring water in the space. These fruit seedlings are not easy to come by, and it costs a lot of money, but Li Xiao feels that Lanxi guards a main road from Chang'an to Shannan after all, and at the same time is close to Chang'an, the capital division, where the population is large, and there are also sales outlets.

After producing fruits, you can not worry about sales, after all, there is a market, and transportation is also convenient. Not more than Jiangnan, although there are more fruits in Jiangnan, but the transportation of fruits in these years is a big problem, thousands of miles, even the fastest water transportation, it is too late.

Tang Xuanzong's concubine Yang Guifei likes to eat lychees, and the emperor ordered people to send lychees from Lingnan on fast horses to ensure freshness, but a few people can eat this kind of fast horse that is more expensive than air transportation in later generations.

Many people in the north have eaten less fruits, and even ordinary people have only seen a limited number of fruits. In addition to the more common dates, pears and peaches, there are even grapes and pomegranates that some people have never seen at all.

Many people not only don't know the fruit seedlings that Li Xiao bought, but also haven't heard of them, and they don't know how to plant and manage them. Fortunately, Li Xiao understands a little, inserting thousands of insertions, planting planting, digging pits, piling soil, burying fertilizer, and watering.

However, there are still many people who feel that the owner is messing around while planting. They don't think there is much economic value in planting so many fruit trees.

It's better to have a variety of dates, the dates can be dried when they are ripe, and someone will come to buy them, and they can be sold for a few dollars, in exchange for some needle money and salt.

Can you live if you plant something you haven't heard of? Is it delicious and can it be exchanged for money?

Li Xiao really wants to plant some orange trees and the like, these fruits are delicious, but unfortunately the orange is born in Huaibei, and without some technical improvements, he can't make orange trees.

The spring rain is like oil, and the drizzle is misty.

In the smoke and rain, the small fruit seedlings have already revealed new sprouts and tender jade, which is pleasing to the eye.

Li Xiao imagined that the pear blossoms in the first month, the plum blossoms in February, the peach blossoms in March, and the pomegranate blossoms in May would definitely not be lonely on this pond embankment.

In June and July, they eat plums and peaches, and eight or nine children eat dates and pomegranates·····

Just thinking about it makes my mouth drool.

When he arrived in Datang, Li Xiao felt that the most regrettable thing was the lack of materials, the lack of food, the inconvenient transportation, the fish could not be eaten without the river, and the mountain flavor could not be eaten without relying on the mountain. If you want to eat some fruits, you can basically only eat what you have locally, and you can only eat what you have in season.

From time to time, there are a few ripples in the pond, which are the fry that have been cast and swim.

Two acres of fish ponds, put in a lot of fish fry, not only those small fry moved out of the space spiritual spring, but also a lot of fish caught from the nearby Blue Creek and Yuhe River, in order to increase the variety of fish, Li Xiao even put a lot of big fish directly into it.

Even all kinds of shrimp, turtles, crabs, loaches, yellow eels, river mussels, and so on have been thrown into a lot.

In a corner of the pond, there is a special small pond, in which a lot of river mussels are raised, which are ready to test artificial pearls, and when the river mussels are raised for a period of time, they will artificially put sand into them, and wait for the river mussels to turn the sand into pearls.

There was money in the pond, fruit trees by the pond, and melons were planted under the fruit trees.

Everything is self-sufficient, a flock of ducks paddling in the distance, a flock of chickens clucking by the pool, and a shepherd boy leading the old ox slowly along, following a calf with its tail cocked and running around.

A black dog lay on the ground not far from Li Xiao, looking at all this arrogantly, as if looking at his own kingdom.

"Is this the life you want?"

Wearing a robe, a bamboo hat, a pair of shoes, and a bamboo cane in her hand, she was left with a group of guards and retinues, only herself.

His steps were light, and his face was much calmer.

"Isn't this a bad life? Idyllic, quiet and cozy, how nice. ”

"It's very good, what's even more rare is that you are so young, you can look down on fame and fortune like an old man."

Li Xiao shook his head.

"I'm just a layman, where is what you say. I'm also greedy for money and lust, good food and enjoyment, I just like a comfortable and comfortable life. ”

Tamase shook her head slightly, she had seen too many people who liked pleasure, there were countless people in Chang'an City who were as old as Li Xiao and only knew how to play and enjoy, but Li Xiao was different from them.

"You are different from them, the gentlemen of Chang'an, they only know how to sit in the shade of their father's and brother's family to squander and enjoy, but you are running these by your own ability, your comfort and quietness are earned by yourself, not given to you by others."

Li Xiao smiled.

This is to the point, I only know how to squander, and that is just the second ancestor of the ruined family. And Li Xiao just chose a lifestyle he liked. All of this is not given by others, but is still earned by his own efforts.

"But you are right about one thing, you are indeed not completely indifferent to fame and fortune, you really like money."

"There is nothing bad about money, money is just a tool, it is a manifestation of value. Some people dislike money, say copper smells, but I think the money itself is very good, from ancient times to the present, no matter when, money is indispensable, lack of money, the world will be chaotic, although money is not perfect, but it has greatly helped us, so that the world has more order. ”

These words made Tamase a little difficult to accept.

"You're still too much about money."

"But you can't take money too lightly, money is not everything, but reasonable money is essential. Isn't it good that I make money legally and reasonably, spend money openly, get the comfort I want, and even use the money I earn to help more people in need? ”

"How dirty you are, how dirty your money is, how kind you are, how kind is money."

Money is not sinful, nor is it the root of evil, the key depends on how you get it and how you use it.

In fact, many people in later generations understood this, but for Gao Yang, it was undoubtedly the first time he had heard someone say it so thoroughly.

"Seems to make some sense!"

"The same rice feeds a hundred kinds of people, and the money is actually the same as this rice."

"I have found that you have a kind of magic for speaking, and whatever comes to your mouth, you can say the Tao." The princess smiled and shook her head.

"Actually, you smile beautifully, you should smile more." Li Xiao praised.

Tamase raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "Thank you." ”

"San Lang, I heard that you want to buy a thousand cows and give them to my eight hundred households?"

"Princess, I do want to buy cows, but I don't give them away, but let them raise them for me, and then I lend them them for free, and the cooperation is a win-win situation. I was going to set up a cooperative, a production cooperative, with them. ”

"Co-ops? Cooperative cattle breeding? ”

The princess originally heard that Li Xiao was going to help him manage the feudal household and collect rent, and then it was rumored that Li Xiao paid for the cattle himself and distributed them to the feudal households, she was extremely surprised, and some couldn't understand why Li Xiao wanted to send cattle to others.

I came here on purpose, but I didn't expect to hear Li Xiao say that he was not sending cattle, but to build a cattle cooperative, and he couldn't help but be even more surprised.
