An idea that I don't know if it's reliable or not was outlined by Liu Ponu in this way.

"Wang Wu, send someone to secretly investigate the Wuyan clan, I want to know who he is involved with, and what things he has done, preferably the kind of thing that can be punished!" Liu Ponu commanded with a relaxed face.

There is no sword in this world that only hurts oneself and does not hurt others, and if it is used well, it may only hurt others and not others, and if it is not used well, it may only hurt oneself and not others!

"Good!" Wang Wutang nodded firmly.

He was not interested in caring about the reason why Liu Ponu did this, nor would he go to the yang and the yin, he would only feel sorry for the Wuyan clan silently in his heart.

Originally, Liu Ponu didn't know that there was still a family of Wuyan in the world, but now it's okay.

I sent it to the door, and I was targeted by Liu Ponu again.

The Lantian Wang family can be regarded as half of Liu Ponu's people, right? But before that, how big was the loss of the Wang family?

But whoever is targeted by him, even if he doesn't die, he has to shed his skin, these bloody lessons are just in front of him, why don't you have a good reference for Wuyan?

The weather was getting colder and colder, and looking at the guards who were still working outside, Liu Ponu couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

What about the Yulin Army?

They still can't afford to enjoy high-end warm clothes, and they still wear clothes made of linen, but the style and eye color are uniform.

Liu Ponu can wear cotton clothes, but the cotton inside is not the cotton that Liu Ponu knows, but a thing called kapok.

The warmth effect is better than linen, but it is still far worse than real cotton.

As the weather got colder and colder, Liu Ponu felt as if he couldn't survive as long as he left the brazier.

As a prince, this is still the case, let alone others.

"Uncle Liu, let the people outside take a break, you don't have to work so fast when it's cold, and let people kill a sheep and cook a big pot of soup to warm them up." Liu Ponu instructed Uncle Liu, he had to guard against these people before, for fear that the Dog Emperor would suddenly give himself a salary from the bottom of the kettle, but now it's good, the showdown is over, and there is no need to act.

"By the way, get me a few more bricklayers to come over......"

It's not a thing to sit here all the time, Liu Ponu suddenly remembered the earthen kang in the northeast, if he could have that thing, I'm afraid this winter would be much better.

The principle of the clay kang is not complicated, Liu Ponu just explained the principle to the bricklayer, and they instantly understood what to do.

In less than a day, an earthen kang appeared in Liu Ponu's house, and a chimney was erected outside the house, which was as high as the roof.

The new kang needs to be dried in the shade, and before Liu Ponu has time to enjoy it, it is the day of the first day of the year.

And Liu Ponu was also called to the palace by Liu Che a day in advance, and the provincial goods were late the next day.

……

The next day, before dawn, Liu Ponu was shouted by Uncle Liu, eating the meal that the palace people had already prepared, and then the whole person was confused and walked towards the front hall.

Even so, when Liu Ponu came, the entire front hall was full of people standing inside and outside, and the scene was very lively.

The first day of the year generally does not talk about things, and the process is just a few points.

The first step is to summarize what happened in the last year, the second step is to look forward to what you will be working hard for in the next year, the third step is to show off to the strangers who are attending the meeting, and the fourth step is to make sacrifices, and then go back to each house to find their own mother.

Under normal circumstances, there are more people who will participate in the first year of the dynasty, and the county guards will come to Chang'an on this day, and some people will also be arranged to report on their work, like the previous Hanzhong Taishou Chen Zhong's halfway report is not nothing, but it is relatively small, and they will be temporarily recalled for debriefing only when something special happens, otherwise most of the time it is arranged to be completed in the period after the first year of the dynasty.

In addition to the official officials in Chang'an City, regardless of the size of the official position, there are thousands of people to participate in this court meeting, and the most important thing is a momentum.

"Broken slave, my brother hasn't been able to find a chance to thank you for the last time!" Seeing that Liu Ponu, who had not woken up from the misty lake, came to the front hall, the crown prince Liu Ju immediately surrounded him with a smile on his face.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Do we still need to thank each other? Isn't that all the things that should be done? Liu Ponu refused solemnly, but he was muttering in his heart, I hope you can still think like this when you are scolded, as long as you don't blame me for not stopping you at that time.

"It is precisely because you and I are brothers that we have to understand this account!" Liu Ju looked at Liu Ponu with a sincere face, and continued: "You don't know, the happy smile on their faces when I announced that the people could rent a new plough from the government, it seems that as long as I can see their smiles, no matter how hard and tired I am, it will be worth it......"

Liu Ponu looked at his brother who was a big wronged brother with some tears and laughter, and said that he wanted to settle the account, but in the end, he couldn't even understand his own account.

With his operation, even Liu Ponu, who was constantly operating, had to express his willingness to surrender.

"What price is my brother going to rent?" Liu Ponu asked cooperatively, but he was thinking about whether to puncture his illusions?

"One penny at a time, five days at a time! In this way, it is possible to ensure that the people of the county can use a new plow every five days, and each spring plough can be rented for only two or three dollars. Liu Ju exuded a smile on his face, and judging from the smiles on the faces of the people, he succeeded this time.

According to the calculation of three dollars a year, a new plow costs 200 yuan, and they can use this money to rent a new plow for sixty-six years.

The question is, after these sixty-six years, can the quyuan plow still be used?

So from the perspective of the common people, it is clear that leasing is much more cost-effective than buying outright.

Moreover, it does not take 66 years for the government to recover its costs, and the people need to wait, but the new plough has been working, and can earn six yuan in a month.

The new plough that Liu Ju got was only 50 yuan a piece, and it only took more than eight years to return to the cost by simply relying on the lease fee.

This new plough can be used for at least ten or twenty years, and Liu Ju has already planned it, and all these profits will be used to buy new plows and continue to lease them.

Of course, to paraphrase Liu Ponu's words, these are all benefits that can be seen on the surface.

And those real invisible interests cannot be ignored, even if each family can only reclaim two or three acres of land every year with a new plow, then the county will gather a lot of taxes to the government.

Liu Zhi even sent someone to calculate an account very seriously, if even these invisible benefits are included, Liu according to this wave of operations will only take two or three years to return to the cost, that is to say, starting from the fourth year, Lantian County will have funds to continue to buy new plows, and even it is not impossible to do one per household.

He is now waiting for his achievements to persuade Liu Ponu and even convince the emperor.

"I wonder if my brother has ever calculated another account? If each household has a new plough, if it relies entirely on manpower during the spring ploughing period, it can generally cultivate about half an acre of land every day, and if it relies on livestock, it can generally be reclaimed between one acre and one and a half acres per day, which is between fifteen and thirty-five acres in a month. ”

"Even if all of them are calculated according to the yield of one stone per mu, the harvest of 15 to 35 stone can be increased by these extra reclamation in a year."

"Although the elder brother's method can reduce the burden on the people in the short term, he will also face the problem of collecting at least seven to seventeen stones less than others in a year!"

"In other words, it seems that they save a lot every year because of the new plow, but if the current grain price is calculated at five cents per stone, renting the new plough from the government will cause them to lose thirty-five to eighty-five cents a year!"

"Then convert it into the cost of renting the new plough of the government, waste in carrying the new plough back and forth, and the time delayed in finding someone to communicate is not counted, that is to say, the cost of renting the new plough of the government is at least thirty-eight yuan per year, if there is enough labor in the family, the cost of use will be higher, that is, if it has been rented, it will be six years at a time, and two or three years at a time, and the money lost alone is enough for them to buy a new plow."

Speaking of this, Liu Ponu paused slightly, and looked at Liu Ju with an expressionless face, as if asking him if he was surprised? Not surprised?

You take everything into account, but business doesn't work the way you do, and you can't just count savings without expenses.

And the losses given by Liu Ponu are not empty words, but losses that can be seen in real terms.

"So, brother, do you think that when someone gives this account to the people, will they laugh or cry when the time comes?"

"I ......" Liu Ju's head suddenly went blank, and now he was a little confused.

The people I looked for didn't settle accounts with me at all, and Liu Yi didn't realize this before, but after Liu Ponu said it, he instantly understood.

"If the brother's wish is to be fulfilled, the government must ensure that there are enough new plows to be lent to the people, at least one per household! Because this is the only way to really reduce the cost of their use, so that they can buy a new plow for 33 years! ”

It's a good thing, and it's not difficult, as long as the court forcibly orders it.

At that time, the new plough will no longer need to be sold, and the cost of iron will not be counted, and the cost of a new plough will only be a dozen dollars.

As long as the imperial court grits its its teeth, tightens its belt, and lives a tight life for the next year, the extra income when the autumn harvest is time will be enough to make up for these vacancies.

But unfortunately, the promotion of the new plough, although the first task of the imperial court, was not the only task.

The whole country is so big, there are places everywhere that need money, and the benefits in the short term are all given to the people, so what about other aspects?

What if some people who are not bad and well-intentioned use this iron to do things?

These are all issues that the imperial court needs to consider, not just something that can be done by renting at a low price.

Liu Ponu didn't give Liu Ju a chance to continue to speak, according to Liu Ju's temperament, what he would say next Liu Ponu had already guessed.

"Besides, if you are not afraid of provoking your brother, how long does your brother think you can stay in this position in Lantian Ling? A year? Two years? Or three years? ”

"Your successor must continue to implement your policy, that is, brother, I sell you this face, dare to ask this world, except for you, brother, who else does my brother think can have such a big face to get a new plow from me at this price?"

"The reason why the bad old man has no objection to the price I have set is because we all know that the money earned from the new plough is not used to enrich our own pockets, and the profit of every penny in it, in fact, the court has already arranged a place for him to go, didn't my brother find that those ministers who like to make things on weekdays are surprisingly quiet this time? ……”
