The big landlords owned very large tracts of land, the population was not very large, and the consumption of grain was not large, but because the land had to be cultivated after it was opened, after paying the tax, the cultivators had almost no extra grain to eat.

Even they can't say that they are full, they can only eat every meal, and the food that is enough to sustain life is a happy life for a person.

A gentry family with surplus grain.

The population problem, a major problem in the development of seaside villages, and the number of people absorbed by the seaside villages plus these has reached 3,500 people.

The food problem quickly became their big problem.

It is not economical to transport grain from Chang'an, and it can only be bought nearby.

The large landowners in the vicinity, due to the loss of the population, began to resist them.

It is not impossible to go farther to buy food, but the population density here is relatively low and the land is relatively vast, so it is difficult to obtain access to land where food can be purchased.

It is certainly not too close in terms of distance, and if you want to increase the distance you walk and shorten the time, that is to improve the traffic along the way.

And the amount of grain that can be transported will not be too much.

The first thing they started was the canal project, and at the same time as the canal was started, they bought some ships, and they used the ships as a means of transportation, and the first channel was opened to a place where grain could be purchased in the distance.

In the inland areas, people do not have ships to sail for the time being, so their tenant farmers will obediently cultivate the land, they are only a few villages apart, but the lack of information makes it impossible to convey what is happening along the coast.

You must know that when a person walks a distance that cannot walk the aisle for a day, he may not have a relationship with him for the rest of his life.

It takes a lot of effort to spread the influence of this era through distance, and the longer a person stays in one place, the greater the scope of influence.

What's more, the canal can also increase the amount of irrigable land, and even most of the open up places can apply for title deeds.

In addition to the areas where it is often necessary to evacuate, people in many places have lived for thousands of years, and the influence in one place seems to be far away, but in distant places, the impact is not so obvious, after all, people do not communicate with each other every day, and the farther away people are, the daily human relations will slowly fade.

Even if he knew anything, it had been several years, so he thought it was very important.

Others may break through the blockade and spread to the neighborhood, so they will explain to the people around them, but this distance is never very far.

Breaking the blockade of time and distance through transportation is the best way Ding Wu can think of.

And the channels they dig are the best way to circulate to the outside world.

Although the river transportation will not be fast, the volume is very large.

As long as the grain is transported back at one time, it can be used for many days, and it can even be transported back for half a year, as long as they have enough money, Fan Jingjing gave Ding Wu a lot of money.

You must know that transportation money also requires a very large capacity, but the carts they bring are a big capacity in themselves, and the grain and copper coins that can be brought over have accounted for most of them.

Large-scale trading does not need to use copper coins, but can be received with gold and silver, and the other party's affirmation and acceptance.

What's more, Fan Jingjing had already told the merchants of the Fan family manor that there would be food needs here, and after three months, the workshop here would be able to provide a certain amount of goods.

For the exchange of gold for ordinary people, because it is not a legal coin of Datang, it is difficult to exchange for different identities.

It is not difficult for the rich to exchange gold and silver for copper coins, or for copper coins for gold and silver.

There are also some money banks that are doing these exchange businesses, depending on the situation of the family and what the needs are.

After all, the money hidden at home must also be cleaned from time to time, if you want to clean some copper plates from time to time, it will constitute a great burden, people prefer to store gold or silver, leaving some copper coins, which can be used on weekdays.

At that time, there will be no copper coins, and when you need copper coins to spend, you can exchange gold and silver for it.

For some wealthy people who only make in but do not leave, they have little need to exchange copper coins, they will only exchange copper coins for gold and silver.

The family has a lot of food, lacks business channels, and most of them can't even use copper coins at all, so their favorite money to save is actually gold and silver.

Rubbing gold and silver after a while is one of the joys of their lives.

For Ding Wu to come to the door to buy, and even willing to pay gold and silver directly, without having to go to the money bank to earn some handling fees, it is a good thing for them.

What's more, they can clear some old grain and be able to sell it at a good price, which is a good thing for them, they buy a lot of grain at once and transport it by ship.

When these rich people sent bags of grain to the ship, many of them suddenly understood in their hearts that this was an important method of external transportation.

It is also a source of water for diversion and irrigation.

In the future, they will be able to continue to deliver food to the other side of the channel, so they will start asking what is going on with these channels? Hearing that the land can be filled in high, and the low places can also be raised and cultivated, and there will be meat to eat every day, many people think about it in their hearts, their eyes light up, and they start negotiations with them, they are willing to contribute, the land can be dug for them, and they can also be allowed to pass, but the fish or food of the land must belong to them.

It's a hit-and-shoot thing, so to speak.

With the cooperation of these big landlords and the discussion with the local yamen, the establishment of the channel network is very helpful for the development of nearby villages, and Ding Wu did not hide the development that the channel can do, including the fish can be raised, can be irrigated, and they are ready to develop canned food in this vicinity so that the food can be kept here for a long time, and the fish can be transported out to sell, that is, the fish in the river will not be wasted at that time, and can also become an opportunity for development, feed more people, and even become part of the tax revenue.

Many officials don't necessarily believe what they say.

But the channel can facilitate transportation, but with the operation of their ships, in their eyes, if they can solve the problem of transportation with contracts, they can do greater development.

Ancient people were not without vision, but they did not have the ability to do more things, and they were more constrained, and for them, although these labors could be done by the people, they needed the people to do the labor, and there were too many things to do, because the government did not have too much money in their hands, and most of the money had to become the salaries of the government personnel.

In the case of the small amount of money that could be used, these free laborers must also be carefully calculated in their minds, and if too many people were to be forced to do their work, and the work in the fields would be affected, these officials would cause widespread resentment among the people, and even the local gentry would not let them go.

For some of the people who were engaged in labor were their tenant farmers.

The tenant farmers in these places are generally not affected, and they do not know the news from far away, and they are even happier to see someone transport the grain away, because a good landlord, in fact, when he has a lot of harvest, must also take care of the tenant farmers around him, so that he can survive well, and the absolute seeker of interests, he will explore the interests around him.

After extreme exploitation, it will cause less and less production, because people will be less and less motivated to live, or people will be less and less energetic because they can't live, and the result will be the worst in between.

The long-term career as landlords has also enabled these landlords to learn how to handle the tenant farmers under their command more or less, so that their work mood and attitude can be a little better, and they will not lose too much.

In fact, many tenant farmers have some land in their own homes, and then rent some land from the landlord, so that they can earn a little more and get a little more harvest.

The large number of immigrants brought a lot of demand, and these landlords also knew that this would not be a long-term demand, but the landlords' estates were mostly self-sufficient, and they knew that these new arrivals should not have the ability to produce their own for the time being, and a large number of handmade products were also sent to the places where they lived through channels and boats to try to sell.

After all, these channels Ding Wu did not block them, but let everyone use them.

When some people can use these channels to go farther, they also have some special ideas in their hearts, and everyone's ideas are different, but the changes brought to life can always seize the opportunity for some ordinary people.

Ding Wu didn't think about these questions, he was already accustomed to the changes that the Fan family manor had brought to the people around him.

If he thinks too much, his brain is not enough at all, and he can only put his efforts on the task that Fan Jingjing brought him.

As Fan Jingjing said, he noticed that the people that the government can manage are actually very few, most of the people are hermits and hermits, as hermits and hermits, although there is no way to be protected by the imperial court, but they do not need to pay taxes and serve labor, and some people have not lived in history all their lives.

They even want to get out of the eyes of other people, but for daily life, this is a very normal thing, after all, most people will not leave the place where they live, a kilometer.

And this vast land is still very vast and sparsely populated at the moment.

Time passed slowly, when Ding Wu was confused to carry out various work in the seaside village, Fan Jingjing was finally pushed into the delivery room in the Fan family manor, and the touching things were finally about to begin.

The princes and princesses are also very nervous, and everyone knows that pregnancy is a matter of life and death for a woman.

What's more, Fan Jingjing's belly is not ordinary big, compared to her body, her belly is almost the volume of her body, and even the imperial doctor of gynecology is not sure whether she can be born safely.

When her stomach began to hurt, Fan Jingjing was speechless, watching the midwife produced by Fan Jingjing on the side, as well as the imperial doctor, touched Fan Jingjing's belly, and felt that there may be more than twins in it, or even more than triplets, for people in the feudal era, twins are not necessarily an auspicious news, and even people will give up such children, not to mention triplets, which are too rare may be mythologized or demonized, just look at the first model, what kind of effect it has caused.

In the case of pregnant women giving birth to multiple births, there were often problems in ancient times, and when there were many problems, people thought that it was an unlucky thing, and even thought that the child in the womb was a demon, and if the demon was allowed to grow up, it would cause misfortune to the family.

What's more, people are not used to looking at exactly the same person, appearing in front of them.

Since Fan Jingjing became pregnant, in addition to the products that are not produced in the manor, the products she eats are all the products in the manor, not to mention that there is also meat in the manor, in addition to the poultry and livestock raised by herself, there are also wild things from the mountains, and the water she drinks is the water vegetables in the manor, fruits, and even the current grain is produced in the manor, which has high nutritional value, which can ensure that Fan Jingjing can eat very healthy as long as she changes her food every day.

Fan Jingjing is very healthy, which will affect the children in the belly, and each of them will grow very strong.

When it was time to come out, he actually started fighting in Fan Jingjing's stomach, wanting to grab the power to come out first, after all, the first to come out is that the boss has the right to inherit, if it is the second or third, it is difficult to say.

The general family is the primogeniture inheritance system, but Fan Jingjing herself is a woman, maybe what he should do is the primogeniture inheritance system, and life without change is boring, so the rich and noble families in Chang'an City still have a lot of people who care about Fan Jingjing's child.

The baby in the belly, rushing to come out, Fan Jingjing was tossed so much that she almost passed out, and it was impossible to have a caesarean section.

Her body was too small, and the opening of the birth canal was small, but fortunately, she was healthy and did not cause a large amount of blood collapse.

After ten hours in the delivery room, all the people in the Fan family manor began to worship God and pray to Buddha.

It's a pity that Fan Jingjing can't see it, otherwise he would be very curious about what kind of belief the Tang people believe, they also worship Buddha and Taoism and places, and worship all kinds of beliefs, it seems that as long as they can bless them, they all worship, even worship Fan Jingjing herself, if it wasn't for the production this time, it was Fan Jingjing, it is estimated that they would also ask Jin Jin to bless them.

Maybe they were tired from fighting in Fan Jingjing's stomach, and finally a child ran out first.

The first child came out, but if the child didn't come out all of them, he couldn't take them out, and he would die in the end.

For the people of the Fan family manor, the child is not the most important, Fan Jingjing's life is more important, and if she wants to have children in the future, as long as she stays alive, she can still regenerate.

The second child came out, and the third child was in the wrong position, which also made the children behind them unable to line up and go out

The child's bones are too soft to be deadlifted, but one foot has come out and will flutter.

"Can we pull him out?"

The midwife next to her and the trained female doctor were also very nervous.
