Chapter 186: It's good in the daytime, and I can't see it at night
After telling Li Chengqian what he wanted to say, Li Chong's side didn't care about them anymore.
Let them do it themselves.
Li Zhong still set his sights on the promotion of this steam mill.
By January of this year, Chang'an City had changed from one mill to two, and ...... There are also two mills in Luoyang.
The promotion of this steam mill has undoubtedly greatly promoted the development of wheat cultivation and consumption.
Later generations should know that wheat is the number one food crop in the north.
But in Datang, the first thing now is chestnut rice.
Until when did wheat become the first, it is estimated that it will be pushed back another hundred years or so.
When wheat is also included in the scope of paying taxes, that is, the implementation of the two tax laws, when, wheat will almost reach the first.
The so-called two tax laws are levied in summer and autumn, once in summer and once in autumn.
So why is it levied in the summer?
Normally, grain is not harvested in autumn.
This is because winter wheat has spread in the north.
Winter wheat is generally harvested in the summer.
Such as the white house is easy to see the wheat in the middle of the wheat, but it is a pity that the summer is long.
However......
Now Datang's wheat is not too popular.
And people may prefer to grow soybeans rather than wheat.
Of course!
Wheat will definitely be grown.
It's just that......
If you want to be delicious, you have to grind it into flour, but there are no tools to grind it into flour, and even if you have tools, it is a waste of manpower.
But now, there are suddenly two more steam mills in Chang'an City, and the daily grinding grain reaches 80,000 or 90,000 catties, and everyone can go there to grind wheat into flour.
This undoubtedly greatly increased the people's desire to grow wheat.
In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, in fact, there was already a royal history for Li Er, and he could properly persuade the people to order more wheat.
After all, wheat is such a thing, it can save the famine.
It can also be made into a variety of dough cakes, and the taste is no worse than chestnut rice.
Time is the best thing to test whether something is good for the people.
Right now......
This benefit is slowly starting to come to the fore.
At this time, in the fang market where the two mills in Chang'an City are located, there are many people queuing up from morning to night every day.
Li Chong also hurriedly asked people to build a few warehouses, and bought a batch of slaves.
If you are willing to believe in him, you can just put all the grain here, grind it when the time comes, put it on for you, and you can just carry it back when you come at night.
……
Princess's House.
Li Zhong asked Li Lizhen to calculate how much money the princess's mansion could earn in a month against the account book, and Li Lizhen almost showed her toes and counted them.
I was stunned for more than an hour, but I didn't figure it out. And there are several different answers.
Li Chong sat down and hugged her from behind and kissed her on the cheek, "Princess, will you do it?" It is said that after pregnancy, women become stupid, and they will be stupid for three years, but I think you are really stupid, not when you are pregnant."
Li Lizhi glared at him dissatisfiedly, "I'm going to figure it out, as soon as you kiss me, I forgot about it."
….
Li Chong had no choice but to end up in person, and in the future, it would be better to hand this over to the princess's family order.
After all......
Li Lizhen really doesn't have such talent.
As for whether to hand it over to the Wu family?
The other party is a child of a merchant family, and if you think about it, the samurai may have taught her some arithmetic.
But Li thought about it again......
Forget it!
Because you can't let her get too much into power.
Continue to let the other party write "A Day in the Life of a Tang Woman"
, mainly because I didn't write it well before, and I always feel that it's a little bit worse.
Other than that......
Then let her keep a diary every day.
Later......
These may become valuable historical materials.
Of course, it is also convenient for you to observe each other.
……
Soon.
Li Zhong calculated the number.
You can earn twenty-one or two times a month.
In fact, this has to remove labor costs, fuel costs, etc.
Of course!
In fact, whether it is labor costs or coal, these fuels are not very expensive.
After all, if you want to talk about labor, it is just to manage a meal.
Coal, as long as the steam mill is efficient enough, the cost won't be high there.
I feel a bit of a capitalist.
Later, we'll see how to pay them appropriately.
In fact, it is still the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, not as good as a hundred years later, just a thousand years later, and at the beginning, it was used for a few cents and a few cents. Who would have known that just 70 years later, prices would skyrocket.
In the end, Li Chong divided the money into one cent, and divided half of it first.
It is divided into 12 pieces, that is, 2,000 yuan per person.
Of course, it's a month's.
If you count the ...... for the whole of the previous year,
That would give each person at least more than 12,000 dollars.
Hearing the money, the concubine's eyes also lit up.
Especially the Wu family, she didn't have much money in the first place.
Li Zhong estimates that if it reaches the end of this year, it should be doubled.
Because the number of steam mills will definitely continue to increase.
I can only tell them not to spend money indiscriminately.
Of course, Li Zhong knew that they would definitely not listen.
And......
I bought a beautiful skirt and jewelry, but I didn't wear it for him.
……
When you have received the reward......
The concubines went back happily.
Li Chong then also pushed Li Lizhen down.
After all, I haven't been comfortable in a long time.
"It's still daylight."
Li Lizhen is struggling.
Li Chong told her:
"It's good in the daytime, and I can't see it at night."
The slave and maid silently retreated.
All I can say is......
When the colt is doing this kind of thing, can you not treat them as your own?
……
It seems like a long time.
It's almost half an hour to an hour.
There seemed to be no movement in the room.
The clever slave has already prepared hot water.
After a simple bath, all that remains is the long breath on the bed.
Of course, Li Lizhen still wanted to see her son, but in the next second, she was hugged and dragged by Li Zhong and lay down.
In the end, she could only ask a slave to come over and take a look, and then come back to report.
……
The next day.
As we all know, Li Chong has never had many friends.
But I didn't expect that there was a Tuyuhun person at the door of the princess's mansion today.
And......
Looking at the clothes on his body, he should be regarded as having a good status among Tuyuhun.
After hearing the news, Li Chong went out to see what was going on.
Could it be that there is something wrong with Tuyuhun, Li Chong is with whom, but the name was forgotten all of a sudden, until the other party said the name of his own county king, Murong Nuo, Li Chong reacted suddenly.
The other party told Li Chong about the current internal situation in Tuyuhun.
To put it simply, King Xuan is not a good person and wants to hold him hostage in order to make Tuyuhun the country's princes
Marquis.
So......
This is to ask for help from yourself.
