Chapter 270: Good days are coming
Some people want to live and desperately earn capital for themselves, but there are also people who want to die and desperately lead themselves to death, going farther and farther.
With Li Yuanji's acquiescence, Fang Xuanling found the door of the family one by one.
After some personal persuasion, they reluctantly accepted the new proposal.
This proposal is of course to cut off the wings of the family, but it is also the beginning of another era, and this proposal is tantamount to giving them a piece of cake in advance.
The families are intertwined, except for the Li family in Longxi, the other families are the targets of Li Yuanji.
Don't ask why, after becoming the emperor, Li Yuanji naturally took over the position of the patriarch of the Li clan in Longxi, and with this emperor here, no one dared to be the patriarch.
Therefore, no matter what the royal family decides, the Li family in Longxi will always be the first to stand up and support it.
The Royal Commercial Group, in fact, is expanded with the Li family's industry in Longxi as the core, and fifty percent of its income belongs to the royal family, and fifty percent is distributed according to my rules.
"It's really my good clansman!" With some emotion, Li Yuanji looked up at the sky, and the continuous drizzle began to fall again.
The gloomy weather, like the mood at the moment, is dull and depressing.
"Xiao Gong, you go in person, and I can give them two deals for future projects." Squinting slightly, this is his last bottom line.
"No!" Li Xiaogong nodded and answered in a dull voice.
I don't know what confusion the Zhaojun Li family made, but when the other families agreed, they started Tai Chi instead.
may have determined that Li Yuanji would not do anything to them, and moved the Li family of Zhaojun, which is equivalent to deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and Li Yuanji can't bear this charge.
Li Yuanji's bottom line is already here, the emperor who has just been on the throne for less than a year, the grand strategy in his heart has long been known to everyone, the future project?
If it had been a year ago, no one would have known what those four words meant.
But now, the answer is self-evident.
In addition to the Li family in Longxi, the project of the future project is the most fiercely contested by several other major families, but no one can participate, which is the core of Li Yuanji and the most lucrative place.
Ken pulled the Zhao Jun Li clan in, not because of their current attitude.
It's because the two are the same thing.
The Li family of Longxi and the Li family of Zhao County can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and the ancestor of the Li family of Zhao County is Li Mu, the second son of Li Ji, the Taifu of Qin, that is, the famous general Li Mu of Zhao in history.
The ancestor of the Li family in Longxi is Li Chong, the county guard of Longxi, and his father is Li Tan, who gave birth to four sons, Chong, Braid, Zhao, and Ji.
That is, Li Chong, the ancestor of the Li family in Longxi, is the uncle of Li Mu, the ancestor of the Li family in Zhao County.
Why is the Maison called the Maison? It can be understood in the simplest way, which is the heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation.
The essence is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist.
The Li family of Zhaojun has produced a lot of celebrities, not to mention the ancestor Li Mu, the founder of the mountain, has long been well known, and there are dozens of people who are not famous in history, but they really hold the real power of the assassin history, Taishou and other feudal officials, and the most recent and the most famous, is Li Mi.
The Li clan in Longxi is not inferior, the famous general Li Xin of the Qin State, the famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, the well-known flying general Li Guang, the king of Xiliang Li Hao, etc., to the nearest Li Yuan Jiantang.
Over the past few hundred years, if anyone can produce so many big people, they will definitely become a family.
And the five surnames and seven hopes, which one doesn't have such a glorious history?
In this glorious past, who is willing to let go of the pride of the past and devote himself to the lowly industry?
From this point of view, Li Yuanji is indeed a bit of a bully.
But with the death of Li Mi, there was some estrangement between the Li family in Longxi and the Li family in Zhaojun.
Li Yuanji has released a signal of reconciliation and also given benefits, if the Li clan of Zhaojun is still stubborn, it will be a thorny problem for Li Yuanji.
In any case, if he has a clan relationship, he is not suitable for being as ruthless as dealing with other families, and besides, Li Yuan is still alive, so he naturally will not sit idly by and watch him attack the Li family of Zhaojun and ignore it.
Headache, not your average headache.
"Your Majesty, Luozhou urgent!" The headache has not been solved, so Fang Xuanling hurriedly found the door.
Rao is known as Fang Xuanling, who is known for his calmness, and at this moment, a trace of anxiety is also highlighted on his face.
Luoju, rain.
Li Yuanji basically had some guesses in his heart.
"Say it!"
"Recently, the Central Plains and other places have been raining heavily, the water level of various rivers has skyrocketed, some of the canals dug before have collapsed, and people have been sent to repair them. In addition, some crops have been washed down by the rain, and most of the wheat kernels in them are empty...... "Fang Xuanling kept reading the emergency report from Luozhou, which will be the norm in the future.
Despite the preparations, the rain brought too many troubles.
There is a process of wheat growth, which first sets grains, which are hollow, and then grows a little bit and grows hard, and when the crops turn yellow, they can be harvested.
At this time, it can be harvested in a month or two at most, but a heavy rain makes it a luxury to harvest early.
The fallen wheat will not continue to grow, and even if it is corrected, a large part of it will die.
"Let's plant rice!" sighed, no matter how well prepared he was, it couldn't withstand a natural disaster.
Fortunately, because of the seeds, wheat was not planted in all places, and after the beginning of spring, Li Yuanji also ordered all localities to start preparing rice seedlings.
Rice, on the other hand, matures faster, and only needs to survive a few months, so you don't have to worry about food problems.
In fact, Li Yuanji is not worried about food now, and a large number of dried fish are stored in Changping, which is enough for all localities to eat for several months, plus some grain stored before, it is not a problem to wait until the rice is ripe.
"Hey!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh, people are tired, and their hearts are even more tired.
Since the Xuanwumen, Datang has not had a smooth experience in the past three years, two years of drought, one year of waterlogging, who knows what will happen next year?
If it is still like this next year, Datang is afraid that it will be stormy, and after three consecutive years of disasters, Rao is imperial court has tried its best to rescue the disaster, but it still can't save the people of the whole world, what can be done is still to keep people from starving to death.
The people are malnourished, emaciated, that is counted by heaps, by pieces.
This is also the downsizing of personnel that the imperial court is engaged in, which frightened the officials below.
No one wants to leave this position that they have obtained with great difficulty, for fear that after Chang'an, no one wants to lose their jobs and lose the power in their hands.
Therefore, while it has not yet begun, everyone is working hard to rectify all places, and everything is developing for the better.
And because the officials wanted to protect themselves, they did a lot of work that was beneficial to the people, and by mistake, the imperial court did not lose too much popular support in the face of disasters for three consecutive years.
But this is not the norm after all, who knows, when will this be a head?
In May, the heavy rain stopped for a few days, and the fields were full of mud, and the fallen wheat was in patches.
When the rain stopped, the people did not dare to wait any longer, so they took up their sickles and went down to the fields to harvest the wheat, whether good or bad, and brought them all home.
And the harvest of one acre of land should have exceeded one stone, but in the end it was less than one percent, and if it weren't for the imperial court's disaster relief, this day would really not be able to go on.
The people began to pin their hopes on the rice that was planted later.
In September, I finally survived until the rice was ripe.
However, due to the continuous heavy rains, the fertilization of rice was affected, and the yield was still not high, only less than one-third of the normal yield.
But the good news is that the heavy rain has finally stopped, and it has not rained for half a month.
The water has also receded, thanks to the previously dug canals, and the canals were dredged and dug in advance, so that the stagnant water did not stay inland for a long time.
So this time, the waterlogging is actually not particularly serious.
……
The Central Plains, where the flood first appeared, was also the last place to leave, and it was the most serious place.
The group held dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and the men carried baskets of white rice, walked up the river embankment, and entered the busy group of people.
"It's almost, call it a day!" Li Ling looked at the embankment in front of him, and below was the boiling river, and the position of the river had already exceeded the original height of the embankment.
For several months, this team kept running around the lower places of each embankment, carrying it on its shoulders and pulling it by hand, and it was hard to strengthen and increase the height of these low embankments a lot.
The people who did not take the credit for not backing up the river and not causing any more serious damage to the wheat fields were greatly attributed.
The eyes of the masses are bright, and this sentence is also applicable in ancient times.
"Captain Li, stop quickly, let the soldiers hurry up and eat something and rest their feet." An eldest lady shouted enthusiastically.
"Auntie, we have everything here, you don't have to send it, and now you are also short of food." Li Ling responded a little embarrassedly.
"If you hadn't built the embankments everywhere, we wouldn't have been able to keep this little food." The eldest lady said with a smile, and immediately filled a big bowl of white rice, and handed it directly to Li Ling without vegetables.
Li Ling sighed helplessly, and finally took the bowl of white rice, the rules can't match the enthusiasm, but the rules are always the rules, if you eat someone else's, you have to return it.
"Auntie, it won't fall this day, and the days to come will be better, the river embankment is almost repaired, we have received an order from above, and we will withdraw after doing it today." Li Ling said reluctantly.
"What? Going? ”
"Yes, we are an army, and now that the disaster is over, we naturally have to go back to train ...... to defend the country."
The same scene was staged almost simultaneously in many places, and before the waterlogging began, these former Qi army officers and soldiers who were stationed in various places received orders.
The government soldiers in various places are responsible for maintaining local law and order and other issues, and it is actually these professional soldiers who really do the work.
I'm tired, but through this waterlogging, I have gained a lot of fame for the army.
