408 Future Plans

After swearing a lot, Su You thought that he had almost inspired people, and even caused them to disperse.

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty, Ma Han and Peng Sheng were left behind, and then assigned Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Daolin, 300 guards to escort those captives to mine coal and make iron, and ordered Peng Sheng to lead the 1,000 guards to burn bricks and lime, and prepare to build houses for the 10,000 people of the upcoming Guozhao.

While a few people were talking, the guards on the dock immediately came to report and said, "Madame and Childe have disembarked. ”

Su You nodded, although she didn't have to personally greet the arrival of Yanbei and Su Yunfan, but thinking that she had just given birth to a child in Yanbei, she was frightened, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her heart.

Su You immediately dismissed Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others, and was about to go to greet Yanbei and the others in person, but their carriage had already arrived at the door.

Su You stood on the steps and watched as first Shuang'er got out of the carriage, and then came to Yanbei and Turandot

Lai Yanbei was dressed in a red cloak, holding a child in his hand, and looked at Su You standing at the door heroically, if it weren't for the yarn on her face, it would be a send-off Guanyin.

I haven't seen it for a month, and Lai Yanbei's body has not been out of shape because of giving birth to a child, but looks more energetic than before.

"You're finally here." Su You stepped forward quickly, his face was full of eagerness, and he reached out to take the child in Yanbei's hand.

Su Yunfan and the eldest grandson Wujian stepped out of the other car and called Su Youdao in their mouths, "Dad, long time no see"

Su You immediately waved his hand and welcomed them inside, while Su Yunfan commanded the guards to move the big boxes and small boxes and big bags they brought from the Eastern Capital into Su You's residence one by one.

"I went out to look for a mine a few days ago, and I forgot to arrange our accommodation for a while, so," Su You hugged the child and said to Lai Yanbei and Turandot beside him as he walked, "But I promise that our home will be built before the end of the year!" ”

Su You's plan to borrow land for development in Nanzhong has long been said to Lai Yanbei, so there is nothing strange about her; As for Turandot, since he left the grassland last winter, he had decided to marry a chicken and follow Su You for a lifetime, so he didn't have any objection to Su You's intention to take root in Nanzhong.

After Su You handed over the child in his hand to Shuang'er, he personally fiddled with the things he brought from the Eastern Capital, including all kinds of books, including those brought back by Bard from overseas, and some purchased locally from Yangzhou, the Eastern Capital, and those bags also contained various plant seeds collected from the Grand View Garden, including cotton and rape

Su You divided the categories one by one, and at the same time thought about promoting these seeds suitable for planting in Nanzhong, but after thinking about it, the most suitable for planting in this land is still sugarcane, and the technology of making white sugar was naturally written down by him.

The three of them were fiddling with these small objects in the house, and Su You suddenly said on a whim, "Duo'er has been following me for so long, it's time for me to give her a name."

Turandot suddenly heard Su You speak, and still felt that happiness came a little suddenly.

Lai Yanbei knew that this was an inevitable result, but he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he responded, "It should have been like this a long time ago, our family's current accounts are in chaos, if it is handed over to Sister Duo'er, it will not be like this."

"You let Do'er take care of the accounts, what about you?" Su You was still a little puzzled by the generosity of coming to Yanbei, and besides, although he wanted to give Turandot a name, he could only accept him as a concubine.

Is there a precedent for concubines to manage the family's finances?

Or no, but equally no, it is impossible for a princess to be someone else's concubine.

"Of course I'm with you to protect you." There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to think about Su You's face when you come to Yanbei to speak.

"In that case, can you?" Su You naturally had no reason not to agree to the idea of coming to Yanbei, but he only knew that Turandot had a hobby of painting, but he had never heard that she had a talent for mathematics.

"I'll do my best." Turandot didn't dare to swear, so he had to bite the bullet and say.

Lai Yanbei immediately added, "By the way, I heard the guards talk about your call to the residents of Lincang City just now, and I already knew that we would stay here for five years or more, our place is less than a hundred miles, but there are two or three thousand people and horses, and I am afraid that it will be a problem to eat at that time." ”

Su You nodded and motioned to come to Yanbei to continue.

"I also know what you think, you want to build a city of your own, and you want to attract more people to join it, it can indeed be said that ZTE knows, but will the eleven taxes be too little? After all, the land is limited, and the manpower is sometimes poor, how much can a family produce on an acre of land, and can the eleven taxes be levied to feed our people? ”

"My worries are not unreasonable, but there are less than 1,000 residents in Lincang City, and it is obviously unrealistic to rely on planting alone to feed us" Su You nodded, and immediately patiently explained, "As far as I know, the eleventh tax is the most common tax rate in the world, and three of the four major powers in the West implement the eleventh tax. As for whether this tax rate can raise soldiers, as far as I know, two of the four great powers have their farmers who have not paid taxes since the Stone Age, so it makes no sense that our current production level is not as good as that of others. ”

Listening to Su You's explanation to Lai Yanbei, Turandot was also confused, and immediately interjected, "If the peasants don't pay grain, what do their superiors eat?" ”

"You say that the peasants do not pay grain and taxes, who will pay the grain and pay taxes - serfs! Since ancient times, it has been serfs who pay grain and pay taxes! And merchants. What to do if you don't have enough food, establish a colony and let the serfs in the colony pay for it! Speaking of this, Su You paused for a moment and continued, "You know the Great Qin Kingdom where Barton is located, right? The peasants of Daqin never paid taxes - from the Stone Age onwards, these peasants were the main force of the army, and because they had their land and families behind them, they fought with great determination."

When Su You said this, he found that he seemed to be a little ahead of his time when he wanted to continue to talk about concepts such as "colonies", so he stopped the topic and said sharply, "The new Lincang City I want to build is positioned as the hub of various tribes in Nanzhong, and I hope that this place will become a commercial loyalty, and we can feed us just by collecting transaction taxes Of course, we will not sit here and eat nothing, and we will also take the initiative to produce iron tools and other materials to sell to various tribes and even Tibet, and at the same time exchange for important resources such as war horses that we need."

After listening to Su You's plan, Lai Yanbei finally put his mind at ease, as long as Su You could prove that he was not hot-headed, it was enough.

Su You immediately summoned Su Yunfan and the eldest grandson Wujian, and the five of them began to discuss the construction of the future of Lincang City.

For the design of the city, the three women of Turandot and Changsun Wujian obviously did not have enough overall vision, but Su Yunfan designed a very modern city with the help of the advanced concepts of high-rise buildings and overpasses in later generations.

Obviously, it was impossible for Su You to follow Su Yunfan's imagination, because if he wanted to build such a city, it would not be possible to complete it every ten years and eight years, and they would not have such a long time to spend in a city that would leave after it was established.

Of course, to build a city, the city's symbols are still needed; Su You finally set the final name as the city water clock.

This kind of ancient thing Su You obviously couldn't fiddle with, but didn't he still have the thousands of books that Su Yunfan and Bard brought back to him?

In these books, Su You can even find the formula for making glass, and this formula is obviously what Su You has wanted for a long time.

Chatting about these future plans, the family became excited, but when Su Yunfan heard that Su You was going to be Naturandot as a concubine, his brows still wrinkled involuntarily.

"What's the problem?" Su You couldn't help but feel strange when he looked at his words.

Su Yunfan shook his head.

It wasn't until the father and son avoided the three women that Su Yunfan said to Su You with some concern, "Dad, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Su You patted him on the shoulder and couldn't help laughing, "When did you become so timid?" ”

Su Yunfan had no choice but to say, "Dad wants Aunt Nadol, have you ever thought about us raising the flag of righteousness in the future?" Aunt Duo'er is a Turkic, so I'm afraid we'll be criticized by others then."

Su You listened to Yun Fan's reminder, and even if he suddenly came to his senses, no wonder Yang Guang had been instigating himself to marry her, was it to block his way out?

However, later on, many rebel armies still had such and such relationships with the Turks, such as Dou Jiande, Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou, and so on.

Will you be able to borrow troops from Duji then?

But when Su You thought of this question, he couldn't help but feel as disgusting as eating a fly.

Because of Su Yunfan's problem, even if Su Youdang was a little depressed, he didn't regret asking Naturando to be his concubine.

That night, Su You stayed in the room in Laiyanbei, and after the two turned off the lights, it was like dry wood touching a fire.

After all, Su You has not been close to women for nearly three or two months since the last time he spent a night with Turandot in Zhenbei Pass, and because of pregnancy and childbirth, he almost forgot what it was like to be a man and a woman.

took off Lai Yanbei's clothes on the quilt with her own hands, and Su You's hands began to move on her body; After the latter encountered his strange hand, the cardamom on his chest quickly hardened

All of a sudden, the bed began to shake, and Laiyanbei also began her muffled hum

Su You pressed on Lai Yanbei's body and began to gallop vertically and horizontally.
