In the golden autumn of October, the terraced fields outside Weizhou are in the midst of a bumper harvest, and there are farmers harvesting grains and drying the harvested millet and corn, although the farmers are busy, but their faces are sweet smiles.

Li Bao took Zhang Chengye, Li Yi and Jing Xiang to the outside of the city to watch the harvest in the golden autumn. As the chief official of Weizhou, Zhang Chengye attaches great importance to Weizhou's agricultural production. Although the Fengzhou Beach (Hetao Plain) under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Metropolitan Governor's Office now produces sufficient grain, and Shuzhong can supply it, the local grain production in Weizhou is also very important.

After all, the transportation conditions and transportation conditions in this era were very backward, and the loss of grain transportation on the road was quite large, basically the loss was similar to that of transportation.

The resident population of Weizhou City is nearly 300,000, and in order to support the large population in Weizhou City, Zhang Chengye's burden has always been very heavy. Seeing the bumper harvest in Weizhou this year, Zhang Chengye and others were very happy.

Nowadays, the cultivated land outside Weizhou City has been fertilized by Li Bao's method of accumulation and fertilization, and the yield per mu has increased greatly, and the yield per mu has generally increased by three to fifty percent.

With the increase of Dingkou in the city, there are more and more newly cultivated acres outside the city. In order to stimulate the people to cultivate more acres, the Weizhou Prefecture issued a decree exempting newly reclaimed land from land taxation for ten years, and the land tax per acre was reduced to 10%, and encouraged farmers to take the surplus grain to the market for sale.

In addition, the merchants who come to Weizhou to sell grain will be given preferential treatment of commercial tax reduction, and they can also enjoy various convenient conditions in Weizhou City.

At the same time, Li Bao also stressed that the various systems in Weizhou must be earnestly from the perspective of the people, strictly prohibit officials from eating the old, being pedantic and corrupt, and severely punish them if they are discovered!

It is precisely because of Li Bao's strict requirements that the Weizhou Prefecture is meticulous and resolute from top to bottom, for fear of being punished by King Qin and embarrassing.

Li Yi looked at the peasants who were working hard outside the city, and he said, "Liulang, you see that those farmers work so hard and don't rest, they are really capable!" ”

"Well, yes. They are all hard-working people, our Datang really owes them too much, Hachiro remembers that if you can be a political party in the future, you must treat the people under your rule well, they are the foundation of our Datang. ”

"Wonderful! What the king said is deeply in line with Taizong's rhyme of 'water can carry a boat, but also can overturn a boat', if the officials of the Tang Dynasty can be as wise as the king, then the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner. ”

Jing Xiang's words made everyone present a little congested, yes, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the national prestige is spread far and wide, and all the countries in the world dare not obey, but now the Tang Dynasty is still breathing, and the feudal towns are divided, if it is not for Li Bao being born, the world of the Tang Dynasty really doesn't know how far it will go.

Zhang Chengye looked at everyone a little lonely, and he immediately said: "King, why don't we go further, today's autumn is cool and comfortable, and we can enjoy the scenery of this autumn day." ”

"What Zhang Senjun said is good, go!"

After saying that, Li Bao took the lead in getting on the horse, and then galloped to the official road outside the city, Li Yi was not to be left behind, he also immediately got on the horse and galloped away, regardless of the backward Jing Xiang and Zhang Chengye and others.

Li Bao and Li Yi brothers galloped for half an hour before stopping, Yi Wuji and the others chased very hard, after all, Li Bao and Li Yi brothers' horses are all good horses produced in Qilian Mountain Horse Farm, and their horses are relatively poor.

Zhang Chengye, Jing Xiang and others are all civil officials, and riding horses and galloping is indeed not their forte, because they are lagging behind. By the time they arrived, the Li Bao brothers had been resting in a small village for a long time.

Jing Xiang watched Li Bao sit casually under the big locust tree at the head of the village, chatting with the farmers in the village very speculatively. He glanced at Zhang Chengye, then slowly dismounted and walked towards Li Bao's side.

"How's my husband's harvest this year?" Li Bao asked very kindly.

The old man who answered seemed to be in his eighties, and his age was very rare in Datang.

The old man speaks clearly, and his body is also very tough, which is really surprising, but he is not timid at all when he talks to Li Bao, and it can be seen that this old man has seen the world and does not want to be an ordinary country old man.

"So that the nobles know that a certain family has a good harvest, and this year it has collected as much as 50% more than last year, plus our sons and daughters work hard, and this year more than 20 acres of new fields have been opened.

"And how much corn did your family collect today?" Li Yi couldn't help but ask.

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but show off: "Sixteen acres of ripe land at home, one stone and half grain per mu, less new fields, and more grain than half a stone per acre." This year, in addition to the sixteen acres of mature fields to be handed over to one percent, there are nearly 30 stone grains at home, which are all the fertilization methods advocated by our Weizhou prince, so that a certain farmer can receive so much grain. ”

Jing Xiang saw that the smile on Li Bao's face was very bright at this time, and he was very polite to the old man. It was Yi Jingxiang who ignored the fact that the ground was full of loess, quietly sat under the tree, listening to their small talk.

"I don't know if my husband is old this year? Where are you from, it doesn't sound like we Weizhou locals. Zhang Chengye saw that the old man was very talkative, so he couldn't help but ask.

When the old man saw that there were a few more nobles in front of him, and that these new nobles were all very respectful of the young nobles who had just talked to him, he immediately understood that this younger nobleman must be a very big official.

It was he who was busy and said: "A certain year is eighty years old, a certain hometown is to help the wind, the Huangchao bandits came, a certain took his family to the west to flee to the west, and later met our Weizhou officials on the road, to follow their instructions to come to Weizhou, to Weizhou County officials are very polite to a certain class, not only arrange a certain place to live but also to a certain class to send clothes and food, and later to a certain class of good land.

Now the sons and daughters of the family are not young, and they should all start a family, so the old man still thinks about this year's corn harvest, so he asked the sons and daughters to dry it quickly, and then go to the state capital to sell, and then save money for the sons and daughters to marry an aunt. ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed together, and Li Bao even laughed: "Uncle, you are so old, and your body is still so good, it is really enviable." As long as things at home can go smoothly and safely, then it will be done! ”

"What the noble man said is yes, the old man does not seek to be blessed and live longer, as long as the children in the family are filial, a certain day is more satisfying than ever."

Li Bao nodded yes, but Li Yi was curious, and he said, "Husband, aren't you blessed and long-lived?" Why do you only think about the safety and well-being of your children at home? ”

"Xiao Langjun doesn't know, the old man stole it from the old man of Lord Yama at this age, how dare he expect more blessings and longevity, the old generation often teaches that people should avoid greed, and contentment can be happy."

"What the old man said is reasonable, it is really a person who cannot be seen, such a simple philosophy, it is really eye-catching, the old man please accept a certain worship!" After Li Bao finished speaking, he was about to make a gesture to the old man.

The old man hurriedly got up to stop Li Bao and said loudly: "I can't help it, Lang Jun is a promising nobleman who is literate and hyphenated at first glance, and the old man is just talking nonsense about the teachings of the old generation, where is there any philosophy." Lang Jun has tormented the old man! ”

Jing Xiang was really a little surprised when he saw Li Bao so humble, so he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade Li Bao and said: "King, don't do this, you will only make the old man more embarrassed." ”

"What, you call this noble king? Could it be that he is our Weizhou Prince Ji? Oh my God, the old man has lived for so long and has seen the first time that the heavenly gods have descended to earth, Lord Ji, come on, Prince Ji has come to our village. ”

The old man's shout immediately summoned more villagers, and the villagers spread the word from one to the other, and finally all the villages were sensational, and King Ji came!

As the people under the rule of Weizhou, Li Bao, the king of Weizhou, is a god who talks about it every day, and the people they think about day and night are standing in front of them, and they don't believe that this is true.

However, the imposing young man, as well as a large number of followers, immediately believed the old man's words, so the villagers bowed down in front of Li Bao.

Li Yi looked at the scene in front of him, and the shock in his heart was difficult to calm down for a long time, this Liulang is really like a god, when can he have so many people to admire and admire?
