Buy people!

Li Er smiled helplessly, and the hand that was originally on Li Yuanxing's shoulder slapped it a few times: "If you have silver, you can't buy it." Because Gorou you are not buying a person, but a person from a state, for my brother to ask you, where are there so many people? ”

Li Yuanxing was dumbfounded, because he really couldn't answer.

The Tang Dynasty is different from the modern times of later generations, when a certain area is economically developed in modern times, there is a need for a large number of laborers, and many people will move there with their families and then settle in a certain area.

Datang is different. Datang here, you must need a reason to run around.

For officials, officials need special roads, and businessmen have merchants' guides. Ordinary people leave their hometowns to work, that is, hundreds of miles away, I am afraid that they can only be far away from their hometowns when they flee from the catastrophe, and the mobility of the population is extremely poor under normal circumstances.

Take Chang'an in the past six months as an example.

The number of people who need to work in the workshop area of Chang'an County has reached 50,000, but these people are basically people from the surrounding areas of Chang'an City. In the farther states and counties, no one came to Chang'an to work at all.

It is Huazhou, which is only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, but there are only more than 1,000 people who really open the road to Chang'an.

Li Yuanxing tilted his head sideways, but did not look at Li Er, but focused his eyes on the forbidden army.

"Don't fight the idea of catching slaves, although our brother is not a gentleman of what he said, Datang does not prohibit the slave trade. But have you ever wondered what happens if you catch too many slaves? Let's just say Goguryeo, once the Goguryeo people feel that the Tang Dynasty is very dangerous, then the war will be fought to the death. ”

Li Er saw Li Yuanxing's thoughts from a look.

didn't wait for Li Yuanxing to speak. Li Er said again: "Gorou, do you think that a slave can be used well in the first year? ”

"Alas......" Li Yuanxing let out a long sigh.

"In this way, I will hand over Huazhou to you for my brother, you can do whatever you want, the only thing you can't do is to get people from the surrounding states and counties to Huazhou, and the rest will be left alone by your brother. Even if you have any new ideas, you can try them out in Hwasa, for example, the policy of exempting you from food tax! ”

Li Yuanxing didn't expect it. Li Er is so generous this time.

"Brother Huang. The younger brother can't be stingy, give the royal brother a mining area. This marble is a small mine, and the real money is definitely not lower than that of a gold mine. Li Yuanxing said, taking out a tablet from his bag. After opening it, turn to the picture of Dali. "Swipe your hand and flip to the next one!"

High-tech stuff. Li Er has seen it. But it wasn't used.

Marble, also known as marble. (Although marble is already an official name, the name of marble is also well documented)

There are hundreds of colors. Among them, the one with a white base, sky blue and black patterns, Li Er stared at it and didn't want to turn the next page.

"Gorou said, my brother's study should be this kind on the ground, it's very beautiful!"

Li Yuanxing took the tablet and quickly found a set of photos in it, which were renderings made by modern film companies in later generations. This is a rendering of the main hall of the imperial palace in the brand-new, huge Chang'an City requested by Li Yuanxing.

"Brother Huang, the golden steps, the fiery red doorposts, and the black floor. The pillar of pure copper and gold, the gate of the golden silk Nanmen, and then there are 999 steps, with granite as the base, a pair of 99 zhang long, 9 zhang wide huge Kowloon stone carving, on both sides of the steps, there are 99 different forms of the fox. ”

"Good, that's good!" Li Er really likes it.

Li Yuanxing continued: "Envoys from foreign countries, just seeing this palace, you will feel like an old peasant from the countryside!" ”

"Good, very good!" Li Er praised again.

At this time, Li Yuanxing smiled strangely: "Brother Huang, the younger brother has prepared everything." There is only one problem, so that the younger brother has no way to start work this year, so it can only be put into next year. ”

"Trouble?"

"If there are no craftsmen to work, it takes at least tens of thousands of craftsmen to build a palace, or even several years. Of course, a big hall can definitely be repaired in a year, and there is no one to move bricks, so ......"

Li Er understood that Li Yuanxing needed people, and he needed people more than Li Yuanxing.

However, Li Er is the emperor, and he will not be disturbed by Li Yuanxing's words: "There will be natural disasters next year, if the palace is built now, there will definitely be some people who hate the old sour brother to write a book, saying that it will hurt the people and money, and cause the anger of the heavens and people, and then ......"

Speaking of which, Li Er didn't say any more.

There's no need to go on, it's not a good thing to say.

"Do you want to plant the art of white fungus, do you want it?"

"Can it be converted into cash?" Li Er smiled and asked rhetorically.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "That's it, the younger brother still has to do something for the imperial brother, otherwise the younger brother will not feel at ease." How about renovating your bedroom? ”

"Why don't you add the main hall?" Li Er asked with a smile.

The two returned to the study, which had been sorted out, Li Er looked at the pattern on it and nodded with satisfaction, and shook his head gently: "This pattern is not good, I prefer the white floor for my brother." Li Er snatched Li Yuanxing's tablet, but he wouldn't open it.

After asking Li Yuanxing to open it, he flipped to the picture and found one of the marble circles: "I want this for my brother." ”

Li Yuanxing snatched the tablet back as soon as he stretched out his hand: "Brother Huang, let's do it." I asked people to mine some more marble, cut all kinds of patterns into one-foot-square pieces, and then sent them to the royal brother. The royal brother watched the stone pick it himself. After picking, within a month, the younger brother replaced the floor of the main hall with a new one! ”

"Well, you can!"

Li Yuanxing asked again at this time: "Brother Huang, there is really no way, the younger brother needs to ......" Li Yuanxing calculated the minimum population in his heart, and sighed helplessly, Li Erxiao stretched out a hand, and then flipped over: "100,000 households, this is the minimum number you need for Wulang, you can't do it for my brother!" ”

Li Yuanxing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Li Er said again: "Don't say that you can't do it for your brother, even if Tianying Pavilion wants to break his head, he can't make up 50,000 households for you!" ”

Li Yuanxing didn't even eat lunch, he was in no mood to eat, and he was not in the mood to chat with Li Er anymore. really went back to the Tiance General's Mansion, and when he returned to the bedroom, he lay on the bed.

Li Yuanxing was troubled, and the reason was not because of Huazhou. It's Datang!

It can be said that the development of Datang has reached a bottleneck, not only Huazhou, but the entire Datang is facing this problem. And there is only one way to solve the problem, and that is to wait.

At least wait for ten or eight years for the population to increase before it can be truly solved.

The sound of the piano suddenly sounded at this time, and when the melodious sound of the piano just appeared, Li Yuanxing immediately wanted to get angry, and any sound at this time would make him more annoying. didn't wait for Li Yuanxing to scold, but his mood unexpectedly calmed down, and the feeling of this piano sound seemed to be the feeling of Daomen's "Pure Heart Mantra".

Slowly closing his eyes, Li Yuanxing slowly closed his eyes under the sound of the piano.

There is nothing wrong with it, you can't solve the problem in a hurry, since it is impossible to solve it in the present, let's make more plans for the future.

Li Yuanxing calmed down and began to think about how to solve the current problem.

The sound of the piano stopped, but Li Yuanxing didn't feel it. On the contrary, it was the sound of light footsteps that made Li Yuanxing notice.

When he felt that there was a figure beside the bed, Li Yuanxing heard: "His Highness seems to be asleep, I saw His Highness brow......ning just now" It was Mei Jian who spoke, and Mei Jian didn't finish his words at all, but was pulled to the bed by Li Yuanxing. Mei opened her mouth and wanted to scream but didn't make a sound.

I'm Mei Jian, and I'm looking forward to it in my heart.

Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, then secretly smiled and stepped back.

"Yuan Chun, go and summon Wei Changshi!" When Li Yuanxing spoke, his hand had not stopped.

Before Yuan Chun could withdraw, Mei Jian couldn't help but moan, just being held made her feel as if she was about to be melted.

About ten minutes later, Li Yuanxing sat in his study.

Declare prostitution during the day, if the imperial historians knew, the saliva would not spray himself to death, so Li Yuanxing just took advantage of some of the advantages in his hands, and left the bedroom with his clothes intact.

It's a simple bowl of noodles with just two extra eggs on top.

Wei Zheng is in the Tiance General's Mansion, and in terms of official position, Wei Zheng is the history of the Tiance General's Mansion, and Cui Dunli is the history of the Qin Wang's Mansion.

"Your Highness is so frugal, let your subordinates be ashamed!"

"Don't talk this kind of nonsense, if you have anything to report first, ask any questions first. After a while, this king has something to give you an idea, or this king has already made up his mind, and you can refer to the details one or two! Li Yuanxing only cared about eating noodles by himself, and he didn't even raise his head.

Wei Zheng didn't talk nonsense, and opened his book directly.

Cui Yiye and Yuan Chun also sat at the small bookcase on Li Yuanxing's side, ready to record with paper and pencils. Cui Yiye's record was for King Qin's daily life, while Yuan Chun would not record it in such detail, but just picked out the key points and recorded them so that Li Yuanxing could check the key points of this conversation.

"Your Highness, that train has been operating normally for fifteen days, exactly half a month. For the passenger part, 803 yuan was collected, and more than 357,000 tickets of various levels were accumulated. However, many people have sat there many times, and the merchants of Chamber of Commerce Street, once a day in the morning and once in the evening, have become as indispensable as a daily meal! ”

Listening to Wei Zheng's report, Li Yuanxing probably had a number in his heart.

Wei Zheng continued: "Your Highness, according to this algorithm, this train will lose money, and it will continue to lose money forever. ”

"You must have something Jihua?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Yes, if you want this train to really make money, it must be a two-pronged approach, and you must be able to make the train run without sticking money!" (To be continued......)

PS: Sorry for being late.

Don't explain, any excuse is not good to update the real, code words, continue to code words.
