On 26 April, under the impetus of Li Xi, Jinyuan County in Shuzhou promulgated a relief plan for the disaster victims in the county.

According to the figures reported by the local authorities, in addition to greatly reducing and reducing taxes this year, the county has also proposed relief measures for the hungry people who are running out of food at home.

That is, as much grain as you need, you can apply to the local government, and the government will distribute it interest-free after review, and only wait for the late rice to be harvested in the future and then return the original amount to the county government. In addition, the county also provided another set of repayment plans, that is, you can use the vacant land after the rice is drowned, and the two months of leisure before planting late rice, to grow vegetables under the guidance of the government, and in the future, the government will purchase according to the market guide price to offset the grain payment.

After all, whether it is the county magistrate Zheng Shuang or Li Xi's staff Li Yifeng, they all feel that it is too risky to simply implement Li Xi's plan.

According to the current plan, firstly, the grain money that should have been subsidized by the county government has been saved at once, and the money and grain can be used to do some things, such as guiding the people to rebuild the Tianji and Dujiang embankment with work-for-relief, etc., to ensure that they will not be affected again in the future, and secondly, although the grain money for relief is not completely free, it provides a convenient way for the people to repay the loan, and the people will not have too much complaint.

Of course, from the strong guidance that Li Xi considered in the past to the current optional or not, this strength is naturally much smaller.

It's only been two days since the news was released, and the following repercussions have been fed back one by one.

Even so, there is still a lot of opposition from the people, and the most critical contradiction is, of course, that after such a catastrophe, the government should have provided free relief to the victims, but now it has become a paid loan.

But fortunately, whether it was Li Xi who had Li Yifeng's guidance, or Zheng Shuang, the county magistrate, they had already prepared for this, so the second hand was immediately used, that is, the government announced that it would use the relief materials that should have been distributed to the people for free as salaries, and use the leisure time after the disaster to renovate the water conservancy and fields of Jinyuan on a large scale.

As a result, the voice of opposition from the people is much smaller. Although the common people still hope to get relief for free, but when they think that the government will use these relief funds to repair water conservancy, it means that they don't have to be so embarrassed when they encounter such a catastrophe again in the future.

But even so, except for those farmers whose fields have completely disappeared, everyone else is still not very interested in this method of growing vegetables to offset the relief, because no one knows who to grow so many vegetables to sell!

In their opinion, the wages given by the government are not low, and the family only needs to contribute two laborers to work, and the rice grain in exchange is enough to support the family, which is much more stable than following the master to grow vegetables.

Therefore, when the government has both hands on the one hand, on the one hand, the large-scale renovation of the water conservancy project, on the other hand, when the local authorities have counted the farmers in the area under their jurisdiction who

If you want to participate in the cash-for-work, you have to queue up to sign up, and even many people need to secretly promise some benefits to the Li Zheng people in order to get a place, and the Li Zheng people in order to help their own jurisdiction to fight for a few more places, but also their own magical powers, not to mention anything else, just Li Wei, a little knife and pen official who followed Jiang An, mixed enough oil and water with 10,000 yuan in a few days, all of which were paid tribute to by the Li Zheng below.

However, there are only a handful of farmers who are willing to sign up to participate in the relief of growing vegetables. It was only when the quota for cash-for-work had been filled up and there was no longer anyone else that some people reluctantly chose to grow vegetables in desperation, thinking that it was better than letting their family starve in the fields.

But even so, some people would rather rush to plant wheat after draining the water, wanting to grab back a little harvest, rather than planting vegetables with Li Xi. After all, in the hearts of the people, it is too nonsense to take so much good land to grow vegetables. Everyone is very afraid that when the time comes, the government will not want the vegetables to grow, and in the end they will only rot in the ground.

By the time April was about to pass, Jiang Andu had already begun to organize the strong men gathered from all over the country to start repairing the Dujiang embankment, and Li Xi had finally received the acres of vegetable planting that were counted by the people in various places.

When added together, there are only 230,000 acres of land in the county.

Seeing this number, Li Xi scratched his head a little, but Li Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Li Xi was a little dissatisfied, he hurriedly persuaded, "It's better to have less first, even if it's a trip, if it's really 500,000 mu together, the old man is really a little worried!" ”

When Li Xi heard this, he thought that it made sense, so he had no choice but to give up.

In these words, not to mention Li Yifeng and Liu Rong, even he, who was originally the shopkeeper, was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and it was impossible to even sit down and have a meal with Wulan leisurely, so although there was less than half of the expected field, Li Xi only complained, feeling that it was not enough to show his talents. Even, as the time traveled over became longer and longer, and he knew more and more about these ordinary people nowadays, he had actually expected this result for a long time.

But 200,000 acres is enough for a big handful.

In order to really turn this absurd farce in everyone's eyes into a shocking drama, there are too many things that need to be done and the basic equipment that needs to be prepared in advance.

To grow vegetables, you have to have seeds, and they have to be diverse and abundant. This point has long been handed over to Li Yifeng to handle, he is proficient in general affairs, and these things are not difficult.

Then, considering the control of the market time in the future, the growth cycle of vegetables must be calculated very accurately, and the planting time in various places must be strictly controlled, and we must strive to achieve a variety and a harvest time. For this, not to mention Liu Rong, even Li Xi was ashamed to ask once, the two of them found a few old nurseries that had been experienced for a long time, and Liu Rong also made a special record, and patiently sorted it out afterwards, and arranged it according to the region.

Then, there is the problem of planting and management, this Li Xi is not worried, the people who farm the land are all old farmers for many years, no one is better at tending to the fields than them, and there are not so many pests and diseases in later generations at this time, so when the time comes, you only need to regularly take a few old gardens selected by yourself and Liu Rong to go around more.

At the end of the day, there is the issue of picking, tucking and transporting.

Because when the seeds are distributed, they are handled according to the region, and they only need to be paid a small salary to the local government to manage it on their behalf, so this collection is not a problem.

The challenge is transportation.

Jinyuan County was called Chongqing City in later generations, less than 100 miles away from Chengdu in the east, if it was in later generations, it would not even be an hour's drive, but at this time, this 100 miles of road was a very close distance. Fast horses can be used as a round trip, but the transportation of vegetables is obviously not so fast.

There are few horses in the south, even if there are horses, they are mostly ridden by rich and noble families, of course Li Xi cannot gather so many carriages, and although the waterways of Sichuan and Shu are smooth, and even there are many artificial ditches between Shuzhou and Chengdu Prefecture, but most of those ditches are very shallow, although they can barely be boated, but most of them are only very small boats, and all of them are manpower boats, speaking of which if you want to transport on a large scale, it is very unbearable, so the best choice that can be used to transport vegetables is an ox cart.

After many discussions with Liu Rong and Li Yifeng, everyone finally decided on the plan.

Li Xi and Liu Rong came forward to recruit ox carts throughout the county, and each car must bring a coachman, one person, one cart and one ox, in addition to taking care of food, they will also carry the load according to the approved standard of the ox cart, and give them a generous salary every day.

Get up early every morning, the ox cart according to the specified time, place, route, go to the place to pull vegetables, the morning is the time for vegetables to pick and collect, the afternoon is not the beginning of the hour, all places must be loaded, the coachman has also eaten, the afternoon will be officially on the road, go non-stop overnight, about a total of nine hours, that is, the eighteen hours of time in the future to hurry, before and after the sun rises the next day, you can definitely rush to Chengdu, and it is just not delayed to sell.

After unloading the car, the ox cart drove back to Jinyuan empty for a day, and there was also a night's rest time before hitting the road again the next day. Oxen can rest, people can nap on the road, but carts can't rest, and the cycle must be repeated.

In order to keep the ox cart smooth at night, after repeated discussions with Li Yifeng, Liu Rong and others, Li Xi also decided to establish a road guard team composed of about 20 domestic servants, which was divided into two shifts to patrol the official road from Jinyuan to Chengdu back and forth.

At this point, even if the preliminary work of growing vegetables can be delivered perfectly, the rest is the last and most important part, that is, sales.

According to Li Xi's proposal, in addition to buying two large storefronts in the east and west markets of Chengdu Prefecture and renovating them into vegetable supermarkets, it is also necessary to select the most densely populated squares among the 42 squares in the entire Chengdu Prefecture, and establish at least 20 smaller branches to ensure that the sales network is completely spread out at once.

In order to ensure the safety and channels of doing business in Chengdu Prefecture, Li Xi also listened to Liu Rong's opinions, and chose Liu Rong to come forward and take the initiative to unite with Xian Yu Zhongtong, a famous business family in Chengdu Prefecture.

Because Li Xi knows that for what he wants to do now, the most important thing is to keep the sales network smooth and covered, even if some profits are taken away in the short term, as long as the network can be rolled out in time, to make money, in the future.

Of course, when Liu Rong was in charge of handling these preliminary preparations, he said that since he could sell vegetables in Chengdu Mansion, he could naturally sell vegetables in other places, and even he had already started to operate sales channels in several places independently, and Li Xi was naturally happy to see it.

Don't say anything else, just talk about Meizhou, there is a river communication between the local Jinyuan and Meizhou, this to transport vegetables is down the river, the boat is very convenient, although it is said that from the local to Meizhou, there are two hundred and thirty miles of road, but the vegetables are loaded down the river, and even a day can not be reached, it is more convenient than to transport to Chengdu, and although Meizhou is not a famous city than Chengdu, but the urban population is nearly 100,000, Li Xi is naturally happy not to let go.

It can be said that as long as it is within a one-day transportation radius, there is no problem with the preservation of vegetables, then it can be regarded as the market of Jinyuan, and Li Xi completely delegated power to Liu Rong for this point. And Liu Rong is a very smart person, he was still constrained by the problem of thinking at the beginning, but at this time, he got Li Xi's whimsical ideas, he was also thorough at all, and soon figured out a lot of whimsical ideas that made Li Xi jaw-dropping, and implemented them one by one, which saved Li Xi a lot of effort.

To be serious, Li Xi, a traverser, is actually just because he has lived in the modern society of later generations for a long time, so he has a little more knowledge than the current Tang Dynasty people, and his horizons have broadened a lot.

As a result, Jinyuan County in April suddenly became lively.

Such a big piece of news is naturally known to everyone on the streets and alleys, but this time it is different from the previous one, although everyone thinks that the matter of hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the entire county being used together to grow vegetables is almost child's play, and it is like a fantasy.

But because there are a series of successful precedents there, everyone thinks that if someone else does it, don't say that someone else has done it, and anyone else, just saying this idea is enough to make people laugh off their big teeth, but this thing is Li Xi doing, but it makes everyone feel that before the matter comes to light, it is really difficult to judge what the result is, so almost everything Li Xi has done before is not very reliable, but surprisingly, he actually succeeded in everything in the end, in the face of such a person, can you still use common sense to analyze speculation?

And people with a discerning eye also see that Li Xi is so engaged in growing vegetables in the county, not to mention anything else, as long as he doesn't lose money, it will already be considered a success. Because after he did this, at least he could make up for the grain that had been cut off in the county, and the people who had run out of grain could get sufficient rations by planting vegetables, and successfully completed the relief task after the disaster.

At the same time, because the grain is only distributed in the form of loans, it also puts an end to the disadvantages of officials withholding and local false reports in the year of great disasters, and the remaining grain that has been successfully helped by the county government has been used to repair the Dujiang embankment and water conservancy in various places, so as to put an end to the flood problem in the future.

However, except for Liu Rong and a few other insiders who have understood the articles in it, even if they take a look at Li Xigao, their predictions of growing vegetables are at most so good. In everyone's opinion, Li Xi is already a big victory if he doesn't lose money, and the first fire of his new official can be regarded as a smooth burn.

Even when Mr. Li Yifeng mentioned this matter, he always said that after the whole thing is done, when all the vegetables and late rice are harvested and planted, it can be guaranteed that the early purchase of shops and decorations and so on can be earned back, and it will be considered a success.

As for Pei Jun and Jiang An, because Li Xi's hand suddenly came out, they were a little unable to react, and they were a little overwhelmed for a long time afterwards, so to speak, this trick was used, so that the strategies they had prepared in advance to deal with Li Xi were completely empty, and even this matter was beyond the thinking scope of their two old bureaucrats.

Therefore, in the face of Li Xi, who was tossing up and down the entire Jin Yuan, they discussed again and again when they were drinking behind closed doors, but in the end, they could only decide whether to try not to meddle in what trouble for him, and when everything in front of them was so confusing, it was better to take a look first.

In their opinion, even if Li Xi is holding back his strength this time to make up something new, but now that this mess is thrown out, he may not be as relaxed and happy as brewing wine, maybe he will lose on the first fire of his new official taking office.

But it turns out that Li Xi once again miscalculated the vast majority of people.

Jinyuan is located in the country of abundance, the soil is fertile, from April 1 began to have vegetable seeds in the field, only less than a month later, the first batch of vegetables in Jinyuan County - small cabbage, has been officially listed.

On the first day of the Chinese cabbage being listed in Chengdu, Jinyuan and Meizhou at the same time, its sales were so hot that everyone was dumbfounded.
