Liu Ju looked at the long queue on the right with a bewildered expression, even if he couldn't see where the tail of the queue was, there were still countless people who wanted to line up over there.

What's going on here?

Did I not make it clear?

"That's where the purchase is registered, you ......," Liu reminded again.

"Your Highness, we know that we are buying it over there, and we just want to buy ......"

"That is, I heard that the king of Shu almost sold his home in order to build this workshop, and the emperor asked him to build twelve more workshops, and now the king of Shu is counting on selling some new plows to build other workshops!"

"The King of Shu treats the people of Lantian very well, if it weren't for the King of Shu who defeated the Lan family, I'm afraid we would still be living in dire straits!"

"But that's not all, I heard that other counties also have to pay for the construction of waterwheels, our waterwheels have been used for a whole year, the reservoirs have been built, and the king of Shu has not said anything about collecting money......

"Your Highness, why don't you take the time to ask the King of Shu when he plans to collect the money? We're good to be prepared in advance, aren't we? ”

"Yes, Your Highness help me to ask, don't be prepared when the King of Shu says that he wants to collect money, although the King of Shu will not be angry because of the delay, but we can't drag the King of Shu back, isn't it ......"

"Your Highness, you see that there are so many people queuing up here, why don't you arrange a few more places to register?"

"That is, let's buy a new plough as soon as possible, and the King of Shu can receive the money as soon as possible to start building other workshops......

"This ......" These people instantly straightened Liu Ju a little bit.

Looking at the sincerity of these gangs, it doesn't look like they have been deceived at all.

What is this?

Liu Ponu's bastard boy doesn't seem to have done anything big in Lantian, why do you feel that these people in Lantian are closer to seeing Liu Ponu than seeing their relatives?

Didn't he just kill the Lan family?

But did he kill the Lan family?

Liu Ponu, he just came out, he was just the one standing in front of the stage.

It was the emperor who really operated this matter, but the emperor did not stand up and take away the credit, but let Liu Ponu harvest it.

In the future, Liu Ponu seems to have built a waterwheel, right?

But he didn't spend much money to build a waterwheel, and the craftsmen were all seconded from the workshop.

Although it is true that money was given, it is said that only wages were given.

In addition, those craftsmen also brought a lot of apprentices behind them, and every craftsman who came here to learn was more or less pitted by Liu Ponu.

The teaching is definitely serious, and it also ensures that they really learn something, and that they can build the waterwheel smoothly and fix some minor problems when they go back.

But the problem is that these people who come to study have not stayed here for less than a month, and although food, drink, and accommodation are provided by Liu Ponu, the local government has given money.

These apprentices also built a lot of waterwheels on the way to learn, and they are also known as being responsible for the apprentices, only when they are proficient enough to be able to easily build waterwheels can they be relieved to go back, so as not to learn a four-way difference.

As a result, the trainees came in batches, and the waterwheels built for practice were also piled up and piled up.

What should I do if there are too many water wheels?

One is to increase the density of waterwheels in Lantian County, which originally had only five or six waterwheels at one point, but now it has increased to six or seven, seven or eight.

With the increase of waterwheels, the flow of water introduced into the canal naturally increased, making it more convenient for the people behind to use water and store water.

The other is that Liu Ponu sold these waterwheels to Linxian at a relatively low price.

And this product is very good at business, and the price they sell is about the same as the price they build themselves.

You are not stupid, if I go to build it myself, I need to use a lot of labor, not to mention the delay in farming, and it is extremely easy to cause dissatisfaction among the people, because the Lantian County Government recruits the people to work for money, and if you want to conscript, then say whether to give money or not?

If there is a ready-made watermill and the price is about the same as that of my own, why should I waste my time building it at the risk of dissatisfying the people?

Wouldn't it be okay to directly recruit ready-made forced servants to go to Lantian and bring back the waterwheel.

Therefore, it costs money to build waterwheels in other counties, but instead of spending money, the construction of waterwheels in Lantian County can make money.

The big head Liu Ponu took it away, leaving some thin soup and little water for these people to share, but even so, it was a good thing that had never happened to these people.

They all saw the benefits of the waterwheel, especially at the moment of the autumn harvest, Liu Ponu's prestige in Lantian instantly increased like this.

The people of Lantian have received real benefits, and the officials promoted by Liu Ponu are all people with rigid personalities, and they are very upright.

The people are not afraid that the government is too upright and pays too much attention to the rules, but they are afraid that they will do things unfairly.

At that time, Liu Ponu promoted a large number of officials from the grassroots level, and it was not that no one in the DPRK and China discussed this matter, and even most people were not optimistic, and some people even asserted that problems would arise in three or five months at most.

As a result, the reality slapped them in the face, and the people of Lantian not only respected Liu Ponu very much, but also trusted the officials he promoted.

And what hit Liu Ju the most was the behavior of the people of Lantian scrambling to pay the money.

In the past, in any place, if an official said that the money would be paid evenly because of something, which of the people below was not scolded?

It's good now, with the comparison of the surrounding counties, Liu Ponu hasn't said that he wants to collect money, but the people themselves are embarrassed at first, and one by one they actually take the initiative to send money to the door.

In the end, Liu Ponu came here for a year, the things were done, the money was earned, the connections were collected, the coercion was pretended, and even the prestige of the people was packed and taken away?

So why am I here?

"It's leased here, and you only need one penny of rent every five days......" Liu Yi continued to persuade with some unwillingness.

What Liu Ponu said before is indeed reasonable, and renting for a maximum of five days at a time can indeed ensure that everyone can use the new plow during the spring ploughing period.

But the question is how many acres of land can be cultivated in five days?

If this account is also taken into account, then the loss of renting a new plow for a year will far exceed the cost of buying a new plough yourself.

Although Liu Ju is a little bit of a tendon, he is definitely not a dead brain, at least since he came into contact with Liu Ponu, Liu Ju's brain is not as dead as before.

According to Liu's plan, it was to give priority to the leased places, and when it was almost over, he was luring the people who could afford to buy new plows.

In this way, the situation of insufficient number of new plows is solved.

At the same time, it also solves the problem of the loss of cultivated land due to the inability to use new plows all the time.

The time for spring ploughing is about a month, to be exact, it is about ten days of work, which is still a beautiful situation, once missed, the rise of crops will be affected.

But now the productivity is low, and the efficiency of ploughing the land is also very low, so the people have to plough the land in advance, and then level it, and wait for those days to sow the seeds with all their might, only in this way can they try to cultivate a few more acres of land and harvest more.

fo

Even if calculated on a month's basis, the cost of a year's lease is only six cents, and buying a new plow is enough for them to rent for seven years.

Liu Ju still doesn't believe it, and the people of Lantian can afford this expense? No one wants this cheap delivery?

"Your Royal Highness, the King of Shu can't wait to take out his heart and lungs to us pariahs, and now that the King of Shu needs us, how can we be ungrateful? Besides, this year's days are tight, and it's not that we can't get by, even if we can't get by, we have to find a way to support the ...... of the King of Shu."

"Yes, not ungrateful......"

"That's it, our Guanzhong men are all affectionate and righteous men, how can they do the thing that gives birth to a son without an asshole?"

Liu: ......

As the crown prince and Liu Ponu's brother, I put down my dignity and self-esteem, and cheekily went to Liu Ponu to borrow 5,000 new plows in a shameless way.

Isn't it just to make you feel less burdened?

You are so affectionate and righteous that you must not be ungrateful.

So what should I do?

The new plow can't be rented, so what should I do if I go to find the new plow that Liu Ponu wants to come?

Then cheekily went over to him, and smiled embarrassedly and said I can't rent it, you took the new plow and sold it, right?

I'm not Liu Ponu's kid, I still want face.

For a while, Liu Ju suddenly felt that it was really difficult to live in this world.

It's hard to be a jerk, and it's even harder to be a good person.

Obviously, I just want to do something good and practical for the people in a down-to-earth manner, why is it so difficult to say this?

Is everything that the saints say wrong?

That's not right, those books have been handed down for hundreds of years, they are all tried-and-tested, if they are useless, I am afraid they will disappear long ago.

Could it be that I haven't really grasped the essence of the saints' books?

Yes, it must be.

The Book of Sages is a truth summed up by countless ancestors with their lifelong experience, and each sentence contains the meaning of simplicity and simplicity, and it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes.

So, the book of saints is fine, and I am the one who has the problem!

Suddenly, Liu Ju seemed to see a light avenue and found his way forward.

It's not a pity to lose the crown prince's position, as long as you can learn the true essence, when the time comes, you can still influence Liu Ponu, and Liu Ju is still confident that he can convince Liu Ponu.

Success or failure does not lie in a moment, a gentleman should be frank, he should speak with facts, those conspiracies and tricks, prosperity on the surface, in fact, are not real prosperity, and one day will be punctured.

It's like ......

It's like today's Han Dynasty, who defeated the Huns, although it seems to be invincible, but the interior has long been riddled with holes......
