Volume 1 Chapter 473 Not only to pick up girls, but also to buy food
Speaking of the hot place where the wine was hot, Li Shimin, who was as red as a monkey's buttocks, said to his son: "...... Among the heroes in the world, those who can have a chance to win the world are only Dou Jiande and Xiao Mo and their father. Of course, if the elder brother is willing to make a move, the younger brother believes that within five years, the world will be peaceful. ”
"Then I don't know if you can help my brother?" Ben Gongzi laughed loudly, and asked Li Shimin half-jokingly.
"The younger brother wants to, but the father is still here, and it is difficult for the younger brother to disobey his father's orders." Li Shimin was forced to sigh with emotion.
"This is true, but the days are still long, come and come, you all drink this lamp, and wish the world a peaceful day
After eating and drinking, bragging and farting, a vote of fox friends and dog friends flashed first, and my sister and I, as well as Li Shimin, Li Xuanba and Yaoguang sisters, stayed.
Staying in the special shareholder room, sipping fragrant tea, admiring the night of Chang'an outside the window and the starry sky, from time to time there was the whispering and low laughter of Yaoguang girl and my sister, as well as the sound of Li Shimin's flattering sycophancy, and the snoring of Li Xuanba came into his ears from time to time, which made people can't help but have a sense of comfort and ease that has been idle for a long time.
Li Shimin was there to tell what had happened during his stay in Jinyang, and his exaggerated tone and vivid language caused my sister to let out a low cry or sigh from time to time. This made Li Shimin even more proud, and he spat more and more stars.
Li Xuanba, this guy dozed off by the window, ate and slept, this is Li Xuanba's routine, at the beginning, it was very strange that this guy couldn't get fat after eating so much. But then I finally got to know the way, and after this guy took a nap, he would start to play stone locks with a hundred times more energy, or go alone with others or be singled out
I believe that if this guy is locked in the room for a month, he will definitely be able to gain about twenty pounds in a month if he eats and does not move.
Now this scene seems to have returned to the eastern capital of Luoyang, such a scene often occurs at that time, but if Liu Hongji's buddy is still lurking in Luoyang City, today's Luoyang City is no longer the open and prosperous eastern capital Luoyang of the past.
The population is also nearly one-third less, and all industries are withering, and the people are suffering, where is there still the wealth and luxury of the past, at least, compared to the current Chang'an City, it is really far behind.
Nowadays, there are still a large number of displaced people from the Central Plains fleeing to Guanzhong, however, Tongguan will not be opened, but is still sent to Hancheng County by ship in advance, and then diverted, in the past six months, the number of displaced people collected has reached 750,000, which shows how much disaster and impact the Central Plains Rebellion has caused.
Nowadays, Guanzhong is building cement straights on a large scale, because there are a large number of displaced people, so there will be no shortage of labor, and it also allows the displaced people to have something to do, and they can also have food to eat, and there will be no riots.
The cement straight road industry from Hancheng County to Shangxian County to Wujiaocheng has been completed, and now the cement straight road industry from Wujiaocheng to Yan'an County to Yijun County and directly to Chang'an has started, and 320,000 laborers are building cement straights at a speed that surpasses Britain and catches up with the United States.
Today, the cement plant in Hancheng County has been expanded three times, and now the daily output has reached 4.5 million catties, which seems like a lot, but in fact, the tonnage is only 2,250 tons, which is only equivalent to two-thirds of the output of the cement factory in the county where I worked at the beginning.
At present, the fourth phase of expansion is nearing the end, in addition, in Yan'an Fushi area and Zheng County (Huaxian) industry has started construction of cement plants, after the commissioning, the daily output is expected to be in the scale of three million catties.
In this way, it is expected that within two years, the main Yu Road from Chang'an to Yan'an County and directly to Longxi and Hanzhong and Tongguan will be fully connected. Within five years, Guanzhong County will be fully connected to the cement straight road. Well, the outline of the first five-year plan has already taken shape.
In addition to road construction, a large number of factories are under construction, shipyards, paper mills, feed mills, ceramic factories, garment factories, textile factories, and various factories and mines are being built at a rapid pace, so that those displaced people who have no land and have fled to Guanzhong have a stable job to support their families.
Only by properly governing Guanzhong can the people of the world understand what kind of benefits the New Deal has, what kind of benefits they can obtain, and only with goals can more people be attracted to join the industries that support the New Deal.
In a word, the will of the vast majority of people will be able to reverse the trend of history, and the future of China will certainly become different.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Why don't you go over and talk about it. Li Shimin didn't know when Lu Dao came over, and said with a smile.
"No, I'm thinking about one thing, how to deal with those grain merchants tomorrow." I let out a long sigh.
"Grain merchant?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyebrows couldn't help jumping. "Could it be that there is a problem with this year's grain harvest in Guanzhong? I remember the last time you wrote to me, saying that Guanzhong should be a bumper harvest year this year, and the grain harvest is good. ”
I shook my head and said, "Of course, it's not that the grain harvest is bad, but because of the bumper grain harvest in Guanzhong, and the grain in other places is ridiculously expensive, many speculative businessmen have been stationed in Guanzhong, eyeing the tiger." So I need to stabilize food prices, and I can't let those grain merchants pull out all the grain in the gate......"
Excluding Hancheng County, Guanzhong's current cultivated land totals 37.5 million mu, but 80 percent of it is dry land, and only 7.21 million mu is paddy field, and the average acre of dry land is about one and a half stones, while the paddy field is about two stones.
With a total income of more than 59,855,000 stones, this year's grain began to enter the first year of reform, and it is no longer levied according to the ding in the past, but by the mu, and each mu is levied on a bucket of grain.
However, the rent of such land is definitely not high, 37.5 million mu, of which nearly 5 million mu is ownerless farmland, all of which are allocated to displaced people or local people for farming. In addition to paying half of the output to the homeless tenants, the remaining half was handed over to the state in full, and three million seven hundred and fifty thousand stone of grain was obtained here.
Coupled with the 2.7 million stone grain collected by Hancheng County, a total of 6.45 million stone grain, plus the grain stored by Ben Gongzi and the grain savings of Hancheng County is 11 million stone, plus the grain storage of Guangtong Cang, Yongfeng Cang, and Guanzhong Yicang totaling 8.6 million stone of grain, then after the autumn harvest, there will be at least more than 2860000 stone of strategic grain reserves.
In addition to the normal taxes, in the hands of the common people, in addition to deducting all the grain collected into the state treasury, there are still more than 50 million stone of grain still in the people. This is definitely not a small amount.
In the seven years of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the national grain output reached 87.1 billion catties, or about 622 million stones, and today's grain output in Guanzhong only accounted for one-tenth of the total output at that time.
But now, the world is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living, and I am afraid that the total grain output in a year will not exceed 300 million stones, which is half less than the annual output of the seven years of the great cause. The grain output in Guanzhong is equivalent to one-fifth of the country's total output.
That's a terrible number. The population of Guanzhong is about 3.5 million, plus the number of displaced people, reaching 4.8 million giant, according to the lunar eclipse of Li Kui period one and a half stones, one stone in that era is the Han system, one pound in the Han Dynasty is only 250 grams, one stone is about 60 catties, and now a pound is about 600 grams, a stone is about 140 catties, that is to say, a stone in the Han Dynasty is only equivalent to one-third of a stone today.
It is also said that the current human lunar eclipse is half a stone, which is completely sufficient. The total grain output in Guanzhong is enough for the entire population in Guanzhong to eat for more than two years, and some miscellaneous items are deducted. At least 30 million stone of grain will enter the circulation market in Guanzhong.
Because of this, grain merchants from all over the country, and even many grain merchants representing their own strength, flocked to the place like flies that smelled blood. Fortunately, Fang Xuanling found out about the situation and reported it to Ben Gongzi at the first time, and now, all the grain merchants have been summoned to Chang'an City, and I have finally thought of countermeasures, and I am ready to talk to these guys tomorrow.
In a word, these guys must not be allowed to disrupt the grain market in Guanzhong, so how to sell grain, there is a need to pay attention to it here.
Hearing this, the surprise on Li Shimin's face faded and was replaced by an embarrassed look. "That, brother Tai, the younger brother came this time, in addition to family affairs, there is still one important matter, and he has to deal with Brother Tai
"Is it just for food?" I deliberately showed a surprised expression, and secretly smiled in my heart, I knew that you Li Shimin came to Guanzhong, it is impossible just to pick up the girl, there will definitely be something, and after that Fang Xuanling informed me about the grain merchant, my son expected that Li Shimin came this time not only to get married, but also for food.
At this time, the Yaoguang girls also came over and looked at the two of us curiously. "What are you talking about, so mysterious." Yaoguang girl is very curious, well, the nature of women, the two girls are gossip, and even Li Xuanba, who was dozing off just now, was woken up and asked with a yawn. "What mysteries?"
"Your second brother came to Guanzhong not only to get married, but also to have an important mission." Ben Gongzi couldn't help but laugh.
"Second brother, why didn't you tell me?" Sister Yaoguang said with a dissatisfied face. also elbowed Li Shimin, this guy smiled bitterly and spread his hand. "There's no way, my father wants to act secretly for my brother, but I don't want to, and in a few words, let my brother take it out."
