Qin Shaoyou couldn't figure out the context for a while, he originally thought that Li Xian would work hard for two years when he ascended the throne, but who knew that it was like this.

He sighed in his heart, but he was speechless, this Li Xian seemed to have nothing to look forward to, so he sat down and talked a few words to Li Xian.

Li Xian seemed to be quite concerned about Qin Shaoyou and Shangguan Chen, and he smiled: "I heard that Shangguan Chen has been quite beautiful in Luoyang recently, singing every night, hey, sometimes I really envy him." ”

"yes." Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "The minister is also quite envious. So he spread his hands: "He has a good temperament, and he can get drunk when the sky falls." ”

Shangguanchen is now the Marquis of Jizhou because of his merits, and he has the financial support of Meng Jin, and he spends money in Luoyang.

Recently, Mengjin has been integrating with the Kwantung Shi clan, if Wang Ju is the lubricant of Mengjin and the Shi clan, then Shangguanchen is in Luoyang, and the lubricant of the Kwantung officials and some children.

Many people want to test Qin Shaoyou's mind, or want to find out the confidence, most of them are through Shangguan Chen, and Shangguan Chen, but he is a good hand at relationships, but whoever comes into contact with him, three times five divided by two, he can get acquainted with people, he is thick-skinned, and he is not afraid of trouble, and when he gets up every day, he is thinking about which one to visit, or who to invite to dinner.

He set up a separate courtyard in Luoyang, called Zhu Lou, red walls and green tiles, majestic, and hired famous chefs from all over the world, prepared good wine and tea, and raised a group of singers, Zhu Lou there, every day is like a market, a small circle, just put together, everyone at the beginning, just want to test him, but over time, and he has a lot of fun, a lot of pleasure, and often go in and out of Zhu Lou. I drank with him every day, and laughed every day.

Since he received Qin Shaoyou's money, of course, he can't spend it at will, so he will make a special register and register a personal name, what is this person's family background. Who do you have any kinship with, what position you have now, what the eighteenth generation of ancestors do, invite him to eat and drink today, where to have a banquet with him tomorrow, and what he has said is recorded in detail, and every once in a while, it will be sent to Mengjin.

Now Li Xian mentioned Shangguanchen. Qin Shaoyou suddenly woke up, he came to inquire about the news, what to do when he entered the palace, Shangguanchen is the real Bai Xiaotong, most of the news in Luoyang, there is nothing he doesn't know. It's good to spend so much money, don't ask who he asks.

Qin Shaoyou thought about it, but relaxed instead. He said a few words to Li Xian and said, "The minister will enter the palace in a few days." I'm afraid that I have to pay homage to the emperor. ”

Qin Shaoyou started by relying on Wu Zetian, although he helped Li Xian, but when he entered the palace, it was impossible not to see Wu Zetian, if he went to see him secretly, let Queen Nawei know. It is better to simply talk about right and wrong.

After hearing this, Li Xian bowed his head and said, "Okay, it's time to pay a respect, the emperor's body is better." He had some mixed feelings about Wu Zetian. But he can understand Qin Shaoyou very well.

Qin Shaoyou glanced at Li Xian, and just sighed in his heart, this son of heaven is really complicated and a little indescribable, he is a very kind person, but it is a pity, but he really shouldn't be called a lonely widow.

Qin Shaoyou said goodbye and left, turned around and went to Ziwei Palace, and happened to bump into Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er looked a little thinner, she pursed her lips and laughed, and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Hongnong County is really a rare guest. ”

"Ah......" Qin Shaoyou looked ashamed, hurriedly saluted, and said: "Shame, shame, Hongnong, there are thousands of things, if it is not for me to ignore the old relationship with the emperor, I really can't get rid of it." ”

Shangguan Wan'er understood very well, pursed her lips, and said: "You are in Hongnong, no one in Luoyang City knows, the emperor has also heard of some, the emperor said, that Wei's move is good, but your chess is better, Shence Army, no matter how powerful, it is just a military horse, you can rely on this Mingzhe to protect yourself, and use this to gain a foothold, but it is not enough to achieve a great cause, compared with these high-ranking families of the Cui family, what you lack is not the four surnames of Kanto?" ”

Qin Shaoyou smiled embarrassedly: "It makes people laugh, the emperor is also concerned about Meng Jin's affairs?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said with a straight face: "This is natural, the emperor's body is better, and it can be regarded as a pleasure to raise in Ziwei Palace, but there are some things that are not at ease after all." ”

Qin Shaoyou and Shangguan Wan'er entered Ziwei Palace while chatting, Shangguan Wan'er said: "My younger brother is really not angry, he makes jokes every day, eats wine and eats on the tree, I really don't know what to do?" ”

After Qin Shaoyou asked, he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this guy was drinking with people, he was already drunk, he had to climb the tree, he climbed to the trunk, and fell asleep, the servants were scared to death, but they didn't dare to disturb him, so they put a two-foot-high straw under the tree, who knew that this guy didn't fall down, and when he woke up, he felt that he didn't enjoy it, and said that he wanted to build a tree house on the tree, and he also gave himself a nickname, called the tree dweller.

Qin Shaoyou said: "If he likes it, let him go, it is not a bad thing to have such a heart, people always have to be innocent and good, like you, isn't it also tiring?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er moved her lotus feet, but she couldn't help but say, "Isn't Your Highness tired?" ”

Qin Shaoyou smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Outside the dormitory, Shangguan Wan'er reported first, Qin Shaoyou was called into the hall, and sure enough, he saw that Wu Ze's weather was much better, and the whole person was radiant, and even the Huafa was a lot less, Qin Shaoyou was busy saluting, and said: "Minister Qin Shaoyou, I have seen the emperor." ”

Wu Zetian looked very happy, and said busily: "Get up, get up, why don't you bring Ling Yue with you?" Has she forgotten me as a mother? ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has been busy with some things recently. ”

"But I don't know what?"

Qin Shao spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "In terms of trading, the business of the horse market is good now, so the Shence Mansion has purchased a large piece of land, planning to raise cattle and horses in captivity, specifically for the purpose of the horse market." ”

Wu Zetian was angry and funny, and said: "She really got into the eyes of money, Ma Shi...... Recently, I heard that every once in a while, thousands of cattle and horses are brought in from the city. ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "Yes, the caravan sent tea and cloth to the Wolf Fort outside the Saiwai, and after the transaction, the furs, cattle and horses were transported back, and now the minister is promoting these things, and it has been quite effective." ”

Wu Zetian was very interested in this, and she couldn't help but say: "Promote cattle and horses, you continue to talk about it." ”

Qin Shaoyou said: "There are only two kinds of precious things in the world, one is people and the other is earth. But manpower is limited after all, so vigorously promote cattle to replace manpower, in the past, a person planted at most 30 acres of land, now there are more cattle, a person can plant 60 acres, extra people, naturally do not have to put their minds in the ground, as for the promotion of horses, it is as a substitute, if people walk, a day can not go to a radius of 50 miles away, but with horses, it is hundreds of miles to go, if you walk faster, the benefits are also good. ”

In terms of economy, Qin Shaoyou has indeed been working the promotion of cattle and horses.

He stopped at Wu Zetian's words, he was afraid that Wu Zetian didn't understand these things, but Qin Shaoyou knew that there was really a great benefit here. Cattle can liberate manpower, and manpower liberation, can be in the case of not reducing production, a large number of workers, in this way, the planting area of people who farm expands, can grow more food, and can be full, and workers can manufacture all kinds of goods, to increase their own income, people's income increases, consumption power will rise, you can buy more produced goods, this is a positive cycle, in agriculture at the same time, gradually embark on an economic mode.

As for horses, on the surface, they are just a substitute, but in fact, they can increase the range of people's activities, and the reason why small farmers are small farmers is because their perception of the world is only a palm-sized world, so even if there are good seeds, it is difficult to promote, and even if there are new ones, it has nothing to do with them. In this era, in addition to the children of the scholars and merchants, the vast majority of people are frogs at the bottom of the well, some people can not go out of the realm of a hundred miles in a lifetime, the perception of the world, is limited to this, and once the scope of activities is increased, if the horse can be popularized in large numbers, then people's perception of the world will be more expanded, many things can be quickly promoted, some new farming concepts, can also be quickly spread, between small farmers and scholars, in fact, the biggest gap is not the amount of wealth, to some extent, But it is the level of vision, so the vast majority of people denounce small farmers as fools. Once human mobility increases, the original smallholder economy will be even more vulnerable, which is almost the last straw that crushes the smallholder economy, and at the same time, it can greatly stimulate consumption.

Qin Shaoyou is very concerned about this, so he sells almost all the cattle and horses transported from Wolf Castle at a low price, and even directly compensates for the cattle for some poor people, and tries his best to improve people's vision and improve their production efficiency with the help of these animal power.

Moreover, in this era, because of the low productivity, so a lot of land is difficult to cultivate because of the lack of manpower, and once there is animal power, there should be a new wave of reclamation, Hongnong County land, I am afraid that it will increase a lot.
