Wei Tieniu was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said, "Your Highness, although Tieniu doesn't know how many such villages there are, there must be a lot of them. ”

"It's not sure that there are a lot, it's the vast majority, they are not as lucky as you in Yangshu Village, they have made a lot of money by planting potatoes, and they are all counting on this season of autumn rice to fill their stomachs, but it's a pity......" Li Su did not continue.

Wei Tieniu vaguely understood something, it wasn't that he hadn't heard the current rumors, "Your Highness, are you talking about cultivating cattle?" ”

Li Su looked at Wei Tieniu with stern eyes, "What do you say?" Now that your Yangshu Village is rich, your family can afford to raise four or five ploughing cattle, and the price of ploughing cattle in the entire Yizhou City has been raised by your Yangshu Village. ”

Wei Tieniu's newly bought clothes were suddenly soaked in cold sweat, Li Su didn't talk to him like this with such a stern tone and expression, Li Su's words are true, they are indeed a lot more impetuous after they have money in Yangshu Village, and he also feels that it is wrong to cultivate cattle, but seeing that the villagers are like this, he can't say anything, and now he finally caused trouble.

"Your Highness, Tie Niu will go back and let the neighbors sell the surplus farming cattle to other villages at the previous price." Wei Tieniu said categorically, compared with the ploughing cow, he cares more about Li Su's trust, and now the people don't know that potatoes and sweet potatoes can only be obtained by Li Su, and without Li Su's protection, it won't take a few years for Yangshu Village to change back to its previous state.

Wei Tieniu said this, and Li Su's feelings eased a little. Shangguan Yi came to him not only to talk about farming, but also to tell Li Su about Wei Tieniu. It's just that he didn't say it explicitly, Shangguan Yi and Wang Yinlong definitely felt that it was inappropriate for Yangshu Village to destroy the overall farming, but they didn't want to punish him directly, after all, Li Su took care of Yangshu Village many times, and they couldn't find Li Su's pulse, and they just wanted to see Li Su's attitude.

"It is unnecessary to sell it to a neighboring village, so as not to cause trouble again. You go to Shangguanyi, and they will give you a reasonable distribution of ploughing cattle. Li Su said.

Wei Tieniu said cautiously: "Yes, Your Highness!" ”

After saying this, Li Su asked Wei Tieniu to leave, and after coming out of the palace, Wei Tieniu hurriedly went to the official office, and his body was cold. Li Su is approachable on weekdays, and when he is angry, the majesty of the superior presses him out of breath, and at this time Wei Tieniu's understanding of Li Su is deeper, Li Su is familiar with him, but Li Su is the prince of a country and the master of the ten states of Shu. With the power of life and death in his hands, those wealthy families still dare not make a mistake in front of him, let alone a small poplar village, he doesn't understand other big truths, but he still understands that obedient children will not be beaten.

Wei Tieniu's arrival made Shangguan Yi and Wang Yinlong smile knowingly. Li Su must have heard their voices.

"Shangguan Assassin Shi, if you have any orders, just say. Poplar Village will definitely do the same! Wei Tieniu said.

Shangguan Yi said: "In the next period of time, Chengdu will set up a rural cooperative, that is to say, the villagers of each village will be divided into multiple teams, this kind of team is called the production team, and the cattle and farm tools in each production team are all managed by the team. ”

"That means that the land in the whole village is cultivated by the whole village, and the harvest is divided according to the fields of each family?" Wei Tieniu understood the general meaning.

"That's right, but it should be divided into more details, for example, 50 households are divided into a production team, and your Yangshu Village is divided into four teams of 200 households, with ten ploughing cattle and ten ploughing in each team, so as to avoid the waste of ploughing cattle, and also allow farmers who can't afford to buy ploughing cattle to benefit from the convenience brought by ploughing cattle." Wang Yinlong continued.

Wei Tieniu nodded, "This is a good idea, Yangshu Village is willing to be the first to establish a cooperative." ”

Shangguan Yi and Wang Yinlong were overjoyed when they heard this, Shangguan Yi said: "As for those extra cultivated cattle, the government will buy them at the original price, and the extra money spent by your Yangshu villagers will be considered as a punishment for you, now you go back and talk to the villagers about it, and I will go to Yangshu Village in a few days to help you build the cooperative, and after success, I will summon Li Zhenghe and county orders from other counties and townships to study in your village." ”

"Okay, no problem!" Wei Tieniu said excitedly, let everyone come to learn, how big their face will be in Yangshu Village.

Wei Tieniu discussed some details with the two of them and went back to Yangshu Village, and the task he took over was not light.

"What! I'm not happy to sell the ploughing cattle to the government office at the price of four dollars! Wei Tieniu summoned the villagers to tell them about the cooperative, and it was still very smooth in the front, but when it came to the matter of cultivating cattle, some villagers began to be reluctant.

"Not happy? That's okay, I'll make up the difference of six dollars per head, and your family won't want to plant any potatoes in the future, or plant rice that used to yield less than one stone per mu! Wei Tieniu said angrily, Wei Tieniu is now Lizheng, thinking about the interests of the entire village, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for some villagers who only care about themselves.

"Tie Niu, don't be angry first, this time there are six dollars missing, who doesn't feel distressed, how can you say that this is also the money we worked hard to get from farming, isn't it?" An old man said that he was the former Lizheng of Poplar Village, and his prestige in the village was very high, and he said this, and his voice rose again.

Wei Tieniu didn't expect the resistance to be so great, and suddenly felt a little depressed for a while, and even wanted to leave them alone, and let them do whatever they wanted.

"To say that is to have no conscience." A voice sounded, and Wei Tieniu said, "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"I heard that some people without conscience are making trouble here, and they are angry!" Mother Wei glanced at the old man and snorted, "The old woman wants to ask, what did you eat before my son didn't do this, and what are you eating now, you said that this money was earned by your hard work, why haven't I seen you farming for so much money before, ah?" ”

The old man was said by Wei's mother, his face was blue and red for a while, "Tie Niu is an honest child, when he entered Yizhou City and made money by coolies, he thought that he would also let the neighbors in the village have a full meal, and he had a little extra money in his hand, so he went back to the village and brought you all there, His Royal Highness said to find a village to plant potatoes, originally I only planned to let Tie Niu try to plant it, and Tie Niu begged His Highness to plant it for you, this potato has been harvested, do you have a way to sell it?" Didn't His Highness deliberately hold an exhibition? ”

"Mother, don't say it!" Wei Tieniu didn't want to mention these things.

"Mother is going to say, we are not doing it here, whoever wants to do it, Tie Niu, you don't have to run back and forth between Yangshu Village and Yizhou City in the future to ask His Highness about any money-making crops." Wei Mu was about to pull Wei Tieniu back as she spoke.

Now the villagers are in a hurry, this village relies on Wei Tieniu to know the king of Chengdu, and the others find the palace, and everyone ignores it, this Wei Tieniu doesn't care, it is equivalent to cutting off the financial road, what is the use of raising more cultivated cattle, "Tieniu, don't worry, isn't this being discussed?" We're just nagging, and we're not able to listen to you, so we're going to drive the cow to the government office. The old man stopped the iron bull, and whoever was willing to spit out the meat that he ate in his mouth only complained, and they didn't dare to really go against the government.

"Really!" Wei Tieniu was about to leave, but stopped when he heard the words, "That's right, there will be no mistake in listening to His Highness's words, the money you lose now will be earned back several times in the future." ”

Wei's mother also breathed a sigh of relief, Wei Tieniu discussed this play with her when she was at home, Wei Tieniu understood that they would definitely not be happy to let the villagers sell their farming cattle at a loss, for fear that Yangshu Village and the government office would have an unpleasant quarrel and annoy Li Su, so he planned to persuade him first and perform a bitter meat scene.

At this time, the villagers who bought more than a dozen ploughing cattle could only shake their heads and sigh, and there was no other way but to suffer.

The matter of cultivating cattle was solved, and Wei Tieniu said excitedly: "Let's discuss the division of the production team......

The next day, the villagers of Yangshu Village drove their ploughing cattle into Yizhou City, and Shangguanyi bought them at the price of Siguan as promised, and praised the villagers of Yangshu Village, which always made the villagers feel a little more comfortable.

At the same time, Wang Yinlong also began to sanction those merchants who took the opportunity to raise the price of cattle, and set the price of cattle in four ways, and Li Su also asked Tong Nian to buy cattle and other livestock from other places in Datang to alleviate the shortage of cattle in Yizhou.

A month later, Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlongci convened a collective meeting of all the officials of Chengdu Prefecture in Yizhou City, the content of the meeting was about the establishment of cooperatives in various villages and counties, and after the meeting, they also took the officials to Yangshu Village to visit the production team warehouse, public cowshed, and explain the composition of the production team and the distribution of work on the spot.

After the meeting, under the overall control of the government office, all townships and counties immediately took action, and a new agricultural model began to be popularized in Chengdu Prefecture, and agriculture was managed in an orderly manner, instead of a primitive small-scale peasant economy.

In addition to new crops, Li Su also encourages the planting of mulberry, tea, hemp, Shu brocade is a special product of Shu can not be lost, and next year's spring tea Li Su will use the roasted tea technique, this tea workshop is about to be built, and it should be put into production.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the output of well salt in Yunnan was not small, so the treasure was in Li Su's fiefdom, how could he not use it, not to mention that he still had an official name.

In the early years of Zhenguan, the salt industry in the Tang Dynasty was divided into two kinds of public salt and private salt, which was not an official monopoly, and some salt merchants were only taxed, and the salt industry was relatively relaxed.
