In the early winter of Jiangnan, the weather has cooled down.

I don't know the Xiaoice period in this era, but it is still very sensitive to weather changes, and the weather seems to be getting colder and colder in recent years, not only in the north, but also in winter, Jiangnan is also cold, making people not want to go out.

Several construction sites were busy, and Li Chuan was not idle, personally urging military households to build greenhouses.

The military households have a hard time, there are no fresh vegetables to eat in the winter this year, so let the military households plant greenhouse vegetables, it will definitely become a hot commodity, even if the output of an acre of land has increased by a hundred times.

It's a pity that the military families are not happy.

Li Chuan finally recognized a reality, it is really not easy to change the concept of hundreds of years.

The first thing military households have to consider is how not to starve to death, they can't afford to take even the slightest risk, even if Li Chuan said that the sky is crazy, no one dares to take the risk of having no food to eat to grow vegetables in greenhouses that they have never heard of.

Vegetables must be planted in greenhouses, and this is not the time to talk about democracy.

Li Chuan finally used his power to forcibly order military households to plant greenhouses.

Of course, in order to make the military households less resistant, he made a promise that if the greenhouse vegetables do not make money, the military households who grow greenhouse vegetables will be exempted from paying taxes next year, plus he reduced the tax to one percent, and the military households are finally not so resistant.

In order to speed up the progress and generate income for the military households, Li Chuan ordered the conscription of tens of thousands of military households.

Each laborer was a penny a day, and Jin Shanwei's military household almost went crazy.

In order to save some food, military households that lack food and clothing even have to reduce their meals in order to save a little ration in case they need it.

If it is a conscription, the military households will naturally complain.

But the employment is different, not only has money to earn, but also manages three meals a day, such a good thing is no less than good news from heaven for the military households of Jinshanwei, so in just one day, more than 20,000 young and strong laborers were summoned.

Li Chuan couldn't help but sigh that interests are the root of everything.

If you don't give money and don't have food, if you want to recruit 10,000 laborers, I'm afraid it will take more than half a month.

Tens of thousands of young people went into battle together, and in just half a month, a thousand greenhouses were all built.

"Good work!"

Li Chuan walked forward, while to Wan Youqing and other seven agents said: "Although the greenhouse has been built, but there are also a lot of things behind, now it is just winter, the temperature in the greenhouse is OK, and when it comes to the depths of winter, it is necessary to set up a stove, otherwise the vegetables will definitely freeze to death, arrange for people to buy more coal as soon as possible, and wait for the freeze to set up a stove in the greenhouse." ”

Wan Youqing responded and said, "If this greenhouse can really grow vegetables in winter, it can be sold for sale." ”

Li Chuan snorted and said, "When the time comes, the sale will be handed over to you." ”

This is a sweet date, and all seven of them are in good spirits.

They have all seen the vegetables grown in Lijiazhuang in Jiangyin, which is a rare product, if it can be grown in winter, those powerful men who have long been tired of eating pickled vegetables are not crazy to rob them, and when it comes, it is the master who sells vegetables.

"Thank you, sir."

The seven of them were busy thanking each other, and all smiles appeared on their faces.

This half a month has not been in vain, and he has been working for the young and strong military households who have worked all day long, although Li Chuan will give money, but in fact there is not much profit, it is purely in vain, if you can get the right to sell vegetables, even if you have not worked in vain.

Winter vegetables are a sought-after commodity, and even if you don't have much profit, you can still earn a lot of favors.

The seven of Wan Youqing are all shrewd businessmen, which is very clear.

However, the plastic sheeting that covers the greenhouse is a good thing.

Wan Youqing couldn't help but ask: "My lord, can I sell this plastic sheet?" ”

"No more!"

Li Chuan shook his head: "This thing occupies a place, and it is not cost-effective to transport it from the West, and I also spent a lot of money to get it." ”

The seven people were somewhat regretful, and they had some doubts in their hearts, but they didn't say it.

Where did the Western goods come from, many people have the same doubts, and some people have even inquired about it, but they can't find any clues at all, as if those Western goods appear out of thin air.

The seven agents didn't want to bypass Li Chuan and contact Western businessmen, but they couldn't find the source at all, so they could only choose to cooperate with Li Chuan.

Li Chuan also had a headache, and how to take out the goods also made him feel terrible.

Outsiders may be suspicious and suspicious, but the family members around them are not easy to fool, and they can't explain when they take out the goods several times, and even Li Changyue saw the problem earlier, and privately admonished the family members, Li Chuan also knew.

Li Changyue told the family members to take care of their mouths, ask less questions that shouldn't be asked, forget what they shouldn't see even if they see it, and threaten the family members that whoever dares to talk nonsense will drive the whole family out, so the family can keep their mouths.

Although the Gun River in early winter is not as cold as in the north, the cold and cold makes it difficult to endure.

In the naval barracks, tens of thousands of military households were sweating in the mud, digging out the mud and picking it out.

Although the sea is very tired, but you can earn two dollars of silver a day, and you can eat meat every meal, the military households have no complaints, as for the cold weather, for these military households who are struggling on the food and clothing line, that is also called a thing?

"Meet your lordship."

An old man was carrying the burden of pouring mud and walking back, after seeing Li Chuan, he was stunned for a moment, hurriedly threw the burden and basket aside, and quickly knelt down to salute.

"Get up!"

Li Chuan didn't pretend to be close to the people, and waved his hand casually.

There is nothing to pretend with these military households, no matter how good the pretending is not as good as the affordable, for these military households who can't have enough to eat, as long as you can generate income for them and let them eat meat, they will really support you, and everything else is.

In the middle of winter, I was digging mud in a mud pit, and I could see how sinful I was.

Even so, these military households did not have many complaints.

Hundreds of years from now, those workers will be putting mud in their bosses' faces.

From this alone, it can be seen that it is not difficult to win the hearts and minds of the people.

The extravagant expectations of the common people are actually not high, and it is enough to be fed and clothed.

As for other pursuits, they will only be considered when they have a full stomach, and the sage also said that they know etiquette when they eat in a hurry, and they know honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing! If you can't even eat your stomach, how can you think about anything else?

"Master Xie."

The old man hurriedly got up, rubbed his hands full of mud, and didn't know what to say.

"Why do you still come out to work at such an old age?"

Li Chuan asked, looking the old man up and down a few times, somewhat embarrassed.
