Chapter 166: The tree is a bit of a trick
The structure of the plough drawn by Liu Ai is actually nothing special, the modern plough is basically like this, he is just based on the previous memory and this time by hand, plus a little mechanical knowledge design.
Give the designed drawings to the soldiers below, and let them go to the carpenter to make them, as for the iron part, it is naturally the iron smelted by Sizhou City itself.
The structure of this plough is very simple, there are only five or six parts to calculate, and this thing was done in less than a day, and Liu Ai then sent the plough to the old man's house, and asked him to make it carefully to see if there was anything to modify.
He said this is obviously a polite remark, the development of the plough has a history of thousands of years, and the development is now getting simpler and simpler, and it is getting easier and easier to use, so naturally he has a certain reason.
He took the modern plough to the Chinese Dynasty thousands of years ago, which was naturally very advanced, and the old man praised it after using it, and Liu Yi smiled and said: "As long as you say it is good, then it is no problem, I will go back to Sizhou City, let them process more and send it to the people for free!"
Seeing that the old man didn't believe it, Liu Ying smiled again and said: "It's nothing to send a few plowshares, you are really hard to farm, and the income from farming alone is not high, and some families can't even afford porridge, so I decided that all farmers under the jurisdiction of my Sizhou City are exempt from field tax, and if you encounter natural disasters or something, I can also provide you with some subsidies!"
"I ...... Did I hear me right? Hou Ye, what you said is true? Then I will thank you on behalf of the farmers in Sizhou City, old man!" The old man's tone suddenly became a little excited, and he spoke a little incoherently.
Liu Yi has said with a straight face: "Old man, you are so old, I can't afford to call me an old man, besides, these things are what I should do, the handicraft workshop in Sizhou City is now developed, we are not short of this land tax!"
Liu Yi has dared to say this, of course he has this confidence, and now the entire rivers and lakes of Huaxia are his commercial kingdom, and it is natural to raise such a small Sizhou city.
It's a pity that he doesn't have that much money now, otherwise he can buy back all the fields in his hands in those places, and then divide them equally among the people.
Liu Yi is a modern person, of course he knows about fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, but he also knows that he can't do it now, and he doesn't have the ability to do it, because it involves the interests of too many people.
All he has to do now is to do his best within this system, concentrate resources as much as possible, and then distribute them, and be a businessman who is not greedy.
Although he hadn't thought about fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, there was a way he really thought about it, that is, he would come forward and contract all the land in Sizhou City, and then subcontract it to those tenants, but doing so would require great financial support, and he hadn't reached that ability yet.
But he believed that if he was given another three years, he would be able to do it, and since God had sent him here, a modern man, he should use his modern knowledge to serve them.
Of course, he didn't tell the old man about this bigger idea, what he couldn't fulfill immediately, he couldn't promise these ordinary people, he would never learn from some officials, he didn't do a single thing, but his saliva was sprinkled all over the sky!
What kind of changes have happened in Sizhou City, of course the old man knows what good things Liu Ill has done in the surrounding countryside, he understands more clearly, knowing that what Liu Ill has said is a sure thing, how can he not be excited?
So this old man he has to be called, for him, this is a great respect, immediately said: "Hou Ye can think so about us poor people, we call you the old man is also a matter of course, if Hou Ye is really afraid of losing his life, then we will burn incense and worship Buddha every day, and bless your old man's life to be 100 years old!"
Liu Ill had already seen him so stubborn, and he didn't argue with him about anything, wasn't it just a title? Originally, it was nothing, and then he glanced at the plowshare, and after confirming that the plow did not need to be changed, he said: "Uncle, this matter is decided like this, if you are afraid that I will regret it, you can tell others about our conversation today, and I will definitely admit what Liu Ill has said!"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly: "I'm going back to Sizhou City to prepare to go, you old man and I take care of it, I dare to guarantee that within ten years, I will definitely let you live a happy and healthy life, and I will never worry about five buckets of rice again!"
After Liu Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly walked back, and the old man's exclamation came from behind him: "The people of Sizhou City are blessed now, such a good waiting master has fallen from the sky!"
Liu Ai also secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder some people say that the common people of the Huaxia nationality are the best people, and simply giving them a little favor can win them so much praise, why don't those who are officials do this? Sending a quilt and posing for a photo, isn't this suspicious?
He can't care if others do these things, anyway, he has the ability now, so he has to do this, although these are some small things, but these are related to people's livelihood and the development of Sizhou City in the future.
Liu Yi has always believed that the investment in the people is the most cost-effective investment, and only when the people in Sizhou City and the surrounding areas of Sizhou City have developed, can they develop, and they can climb higher and go further.
In the following days, Liu Ai and Dongfang Undefeated traveled to all the villages within 20 miles of Sizhou City as the center, and every time Liu Ai went to a village, he would plan according to the actual situation of the village, and successively established sericulture, fruits, and vegetables...... And so on.
The development of Sizhou City has brought tangible benefits to the surrounding people, and these people naturally put the safety of Sizhou City in their hearts, and the defense line of Sizhou City is equivalent to pushing out for 20 miles.
With Sizhou City as the production base and Jianghu as the sales network, Liu Yi has finally created a business kingdom of his own, but these are not his focus, his next focus is to let more people enjoy the benefits brought by him.
Officials from other parts of Huaxia began to come to Sizhou City to learn from the experience, and the experience of Sizhou City was transparent, and the results were visible to everyone, but when these officials returned, they found that this model was not something they could replicate.
So it is against those Shi clans, in fact, it is no wonder that Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, Shang is at the bottom of the list, and it is also the most avoidable by those who are in power, according to the model of Sizhou City, it is impossible to put the status of Shang to the front.
Therefore, before the thinking of the officials has changed, the model of Sizhou City can only be adapted to Sizhou City, or it can only be applied to Liu Aiji and the group of people who were originally outside the Shi Nong Industry and Commerce led by Liu Aiji.
Yes, the rivers and lakes are a system of reading, and the people who break through the rivers and lakes are some marginal people, they do not belong to any class in the industrial and commercial circles, they are a group of people who dance on the tip of the knife, it is Liu Illness who has made them return to the reality of society, and it is Liu Illness who has made them walk down from the tip of the knife.
There are conservatives and reformists in the court, there are main peace factions and main war factions, no matter which faction of officials comes to Sizhou City, Liu Ill has been treated with courtesy, so although Liu Ill has not participated in specific court politics, but in the court, he has his own connections.
With Liu Ai's prestige among the common people, with Liu Ai's wealth, with Liu Ai's power in the rivers and lakes, and with Liu Ai's royal status, there are really few officials who don't come to talk to him, no matter what faction you are, you have to find a backer, and they seem to want to pull Liu Ai as their backer.
The form is really good, but those are all appearances, Liu Yi already understands in his heart that now is the most dangerous time for himself, the higher his reputation, the greater the threat to Liu He, and the stronger Liu He's desire to eradicate himself.
The current soldiers and horses in Sizhou City are not enough to resist Liu He, even if the entire rivers and lakes are added, there is no way to confront the court, and if it is really a confrontation, it will always be foreign races who will benefit, and the Jin Kingdom in the north is staring at his wolf eyes.
Similarly, although Liu He is almost in management ability, he is not a fool, and he also understands the current situation, he has been slow to move Sizhou City because the current Sizhou City is still under his control, if he perceives that Sizhou City is beyond his control, it is inevitable to raise troops.
The current Liu He also needs a lot of money to be with Jin Guo**, and Jin Guo**, so he keeps Liu Aiji, because the current Liu Ai is his money bag, and it is not so easy for him to easily give up his money bag.
It is precisely because Liu Yi has seen this that he ignores the courtship of those officials, he never participates in any political affairs outside of Sizhou City, and never talks about the current government politics.
What's more, among these officials who came, Liu Ying had no way to judge who Liu He's people were, if they came to secretly test themselves, it would be more than worth the loss. Therefore, his attitude towards these people is the same, you come to me to entertain, you leave I will send you off, but there is one point, don't talk about the country.
Liu Yi has worked very hard to dress up as a waiting master who only loves to do business, and he divides Liu He on time every month, and sends people to Beijing to send the accounts of each month, the purpose is to reassure Liu He that when he should pretend to be a sick cat, he can't pretend to be a sick tiger.
Yang Shihan's war has long been over, and Liu He has also tested him whether to transfer Yang Shihan back to Sizhou City, but Liu Yi has not agreed, and he can't agree, if Yang Shihan is really transferred back to Sizhou City, then Liu He won't want to sleep peacefully. (To be continued.) )
