Li Shu squeezed my waist with his buttocks, sat down on my side, leaned over softly: "You said that Liaodong can grow rice, and the yield is much higher than that of millet and wheat, can you ......?"

"Hmmm! I have already thought about it for my husband, but not for the time being, lamb, don't worry, this matter is very important, or wait first, the land of Liaodong, if you want to plant, you can only plant Zhancheng rice, because the frost-free period in Liaodong is too short, it is not suitable to plant other rice, first wait for my eldest brother to plant experience in Jiangnan, at that time, let's talk to Your Majesty again, plant rice in the past, in this way, no one will say anything, and it can be settled. ”

"Just how ...... you are" Li Shu pursed his plump and ruddy mouth, his big eyes were watery, revealing a temptation that came out of his bones, I swallowed my saliva and squeezed my eyes proudly: "Nonsense, I don't have many eyes, can I clean up a few of you?" Hey, hey, hey......"

The cold wind howled, and finally arrived at the end of the Zhenguan year, and Duan Yunsong, who was dressed in dust, finally returned to Chang'an from Liaodong, and the private room of Wangjiang Tower was crowded with Tang Dynasty gentlemen who came to celebrate the reunion of the brothers. "Yo, I haven't seen you for more than a year, but your kid is a lot fatter than before, what's the matter, Liaodong water is good, raise people?" Li Yexu smiled and picked up his wine glass and said.

"Alas, don't mention it, Liaodong, that's really a good place, don't say, tell you, Duan is in Liaodong, but I'm tired of eating meat, especially in winter, alas, that pickles are like babies, even if it's a plate of dragon liver and phoenix brains in front of me, we are not rare, at the end of autumn, the cold energy, almost froze my snot into ice slag, fortunately, our barracks are not like in Chang'an to build a few tents, if you want that tent, if you don't collapse the snow, you can also freeze people half to death, wait, I'll eat some vegetarian first, mother, When Lao Tzu returned to Chang'an, he was determined to be a monk for a month...... Just eat vegetarian. Duan Yunsong simply took the plate of bean sprouts in front of him as the staple food, and swept it all into his stomach at once.

The gentlemen who came to eat and drink all laughed crookedly and grinned. "Look, it's worthy of being a person who has been in Liaodong for more than a year, ah, this can't even look at meat, tsk, look at what you can, Xi Moudang is in the poor place of Longyou, one meal or two, one meal can be stained with some meat, even if he is a great blessing, this is good, I don't know that I think he was born as a butcher." Xi Junmai couldn't help but laugh and scolded.

"Don't say it, that Liaodong, Duan Mou has finally seen it, in the summer, it was similar to ours, but in the autumn, it won't be done, vegetables will definitely not be planted, and the snow can be waist-high, can you plant it? and all the cattle were to be brought into the house. Frozen to death, directly peeled the skin under the pot, Liaodong is indeed a place to raise people, cold is cold, what is terrible? The houses built by our army are the same as the people's houses, all of them are large pieces of coal burned, and they are all built with long fire pits, and the warm energy is almost not want to get up, hehe, I want to say, I have to thank our brother Jun, our Yuanzheng, not the drawings he handed over to the Ministry of Industry, the people who moved to Liaodong don't know what it will be frozen, but ah, the land in Liaodong is really fat, so fat that it almost runs out of oil......"

---------------------------------------------------- I sat aside, smiling and watching this benevolent brother blow vigorously, well, not blowing, it is indeed such a situation, if it is not for the mass cultivation of cotton, if it is not for the fire kang, the winter in Liaodong is indeed difficult enough, but the products of Liaodong are indeed rich enough.

Although the people can only sow one season in Guanzhong, Hebei and other places, the harvest is far more abundant than before, why? There is a lot of land and fertile land, and the per capita land in Guanzhong does not exceed 15 acres, but in Liaodong, Ding men and middle-aged men over 18 years old each receive as much as 60 acres of Yongye field, which is three times that of Guannei, and 200 acres of land in the mouth, which is also several times that of Guanzhong, and now due to the change of national policy, Uncle Li has newly given nobles and officials above the fifth rank and above to accept Yongye Tian from 5 to 100 hectares according to their grades. The Medal Palace may request 60 acres to 30 acres of Xuntian according to the rank of the Honor. All of them are the acres of land in Liaodong or the fields in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, to avoid densely populated areas.

Moreover, Liaodong adopted horse farming, from the eighteenth year of Zhenguan to this year, the people who moved to Liaodong from the land of Guanzhong alone were as high as 50,000 households, more than 200,000 people, including those who moved from other places, and the population of Liaodong now totals more than 570,000, and the Han people account for seventy percent of them.

"Do you know how many acres of land have been cultivated in Liaodong from last year to today?" Duan Yunsong took a sip of wine and proudly displayed. Su Dingfang put down the wine jug and smashed his mouth: "I estimate, I'm afraid I can open 500,000 acres, right?" But how much more can you get in two years? ”

"Wrong, it's this number!" Duan Yunsong stretched out two slaps, then withdrew his four fingers, and smiled very obscenely. On the side, Cheng Chuliang rolled his eyes: "What's the surprise, 600,000 mu, such a little, it's less than 1 million mu." ”

Duan Yunsong still maintained his weird expression and shook his head, and continued to hold two big slaps: "No, 600,000 mu, when Duan is a rich landowner in the countryside, isn't it?" Even if it is a million acres, can it enter Duan's eyes? Can you show it to your brothers? ”

In an instant, the entire private room became silent, and even I was startled, and asked in disbelief: "I said Brother Duan, you wouldn't say that it was six million acres, right?" ”

"That's right, a total of more than 9.3 million acres." Duan Yunsong finally stopped selling Guanzi, and grinned proudly: "Let me tell you, Liaodong uses horse farming, do you know how many acres of land the people there can open in a month?" Duan Yunsong raised a finger: "On the flat beach, ten acres can be opened, and if it is in other places, six or seven acres can also be opened, plus the original cultivated land in Liaodong, do you know?" Now Liaodong has a total of more than 8 million acres of land, this is not counting the territory east of Yalu Water, the communist grain is nearly 20 million stones, but unfortunately, the court has a decree, within five years to prohibit the collection of field endowments, tsk, tsk, otherwise, not to mention that Liaodong can also receive two or three million stone of grain, look, it's only been two years, and in the future, I don't know what Liaodong can get rich. ”

This night, Duan Yunsong became the protagonist, and the things he promoted were quickly spread by the gentlemen, and at this time, the Liaodong Dao Observation Envoy Cen Wenwen's recital also arrived in Chang'an, and Uncle Li sat in the court and played straight.

"Listen to it, listen to it, Liaodong, it's really a treasure land, my battle is really worth it, it's worth it! Hahaha...... "Uncle Li's excited ass looked like a drill was installed, and he couldn't sit still. Zhongguan's voice changed a little: "...... Liaozhou south of only 100 miles, now found iron ore vein, the reserves are large, unprecedented, and the quality is superior, unheard of, another cover Muzhou east of ten miles, found the coal and stone mine, for the open-pit mine also, with the mining and taking, can be said to be inexhaustible. It is reported that there are also large iron and copper veins in the upper reaches of Liangshui, and at present, the minister has sent the army of Wu Ben to escort the officials of the Ministry of Industry to investigate, and if he hears good news, he will soon present it to His Majesty......"

Listen to the ministers present one or two are all happy eyebrows, why, these are all money, now, the coal mine Datang is the official camp, since the use of coal stoves spread, the wind of coal is more and more prosperous, not to mention the high gate valve, even the small people all burned coal, especially in winter, standing on the head of Chang'an, you can see countless large and small smoke pipes like a flagpole sign straight to the sky, thick smoke billowing.

After the ---------------------------------------------------- coal is dug out, the lump coal is more expensive, and the face coal is preferable, so we will play the honeycomb coal technology also passed out, so that most of the small people use the face coal, which is more suitable than the lump coal, in the past a winter to buy firewood charcoal, it probably cost 100 dollars, and it is probably so much money to replace it with burning coal. Moreover, the warmth and safety factor of coal stoves are much higher than those of carbon, so that last year, at least tens of thousands of acres of forests were cut down around Guanzhong.

"Liaodong is really a treasure land, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to my Datang!" The old man was the first to jump out and hit a sycophant first, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that my Datang will increase the development of Liaodong, and the construction of roads must be accelerated. ”

The Ministry of Works, the prince's right guard faction led Li Daliang to stand up: "Well, yes, the road, this road, must be repaired, and it must be repaired, but now we are still lacking manpower, Liaodong built roads, with more than 100,000 Goguryeo prisoners of war, but the weather in Liaodong is much colder than ours, and the time to build roads every year is only seven months, and now it has been half of the road from Yingzhou to Liaozhou, Liaozhou through Anshi Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture to Jili Prefecture on the Liaodong Peninsula. The road from Pingding City to Liaozhou has been repaired to the east of Yalu Water, and I am afraid that the construction will not start until the ice and snow melt in the next year. ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the people of Liaodong Province ......" An old courtier stood up, and Uncle Li shook his head: "No!" Liaodong is now undecided, the people have just arrived in a different place, their hearts are shaken, panicked, I have decreed to the world, the people of Liaodong will not levy any taxes within five years, if I go back on what wrong, I am in my heart, there is a lot of harm to the court and society! That's it, when I pacify the Wa Kingdom, I will once again expand the road construction team of my Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, mining and mining will have to be ...... manpower" When Uncle Li said this, the corners of his mouth twitched, like a landlord who was stealing and playing tricks, and it made people's hearts chill.
