"Well, this place, good."

Rubbing the ochre-colored black paddy soil in his hand into a mud ball, and flicking it away with a finger of his hand, Zhang De looked at the axe lake lake west grange, very satisfied.

Because the matter involved the "new policy of the province", Zhang De specially took a note, saying that Jianghan industry and commerce are prosperous, and there are many fangs who go down the mountain to work, if the business is not good one day, the fangs have no work, and there is no place to farm, they may make trouble. Therefore, Lao Zhang suggested that the imperial court, under the guidance of the correct and clever Zhongshu Ling Changsun Wuji, should first put the newly opened fields away, only rent and not sell, and all of them should be leased for less than five years.

In this way, if the fangs have no place to work, they can still have fields to cultivate, and they will not cause trouble.

Sounds like a lot of sense.

Li Dong also felt so, so he made two wills, one was the middle will, the emperor sent the eunuch who died of yin and yang to come over and praise him verbally; The second is to issue an edict in the middle of the service, and specifically legislate this matter.

However, in fact, there is a fart truth in this matter, that is, a piece of shit, fooling Emperor Li.

A fang, or a fangman who goes down the mountain to work legally, will he go back to farming if he doesn't have a job? Not to mention the fangs, the Khitans don't want to.

Yes, that's right, most of the workshops in Jianghan are man-eating sweatshops. But the harvest of a year is three streets stronger than farming and hunting, the original livelihood, that is not called life, that is called life. And once you can work in the workshop, then you will be able to improve a realm, and this realm is called life, even if the word life is preceded by poverty, embarrassment, and so on.

Tian is still from the imperial court, and the tax can be exempted, and the tax cannot be paid. Generally speaking, if you get 10,000 acres of land in your hands, you will not lose money when you grow grain, and you can make a profit.

If it is calculated according to the tax uniformity, the field tax as a whole will last for a long time, and it is the big head, not only the big head, but the big head of the big head. The main expenses maintained by the imperial court are nine out of nine on the field.

At present, Emperor Li and his old subordinates are willing to let industry and commerce blossom more, and they also want to turn ninety-nine into ninety-nine-seven......

Therefore, Lao Zhang's idea of letting some livestock not come to these new fields is also a painstaking effort.

Although it is a bit of the Tang Dynasty version of the meaning of "distribution according to trouble", but "appeasing the fangmin", this is a merit, this is the glory of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is a footnote to the greatness and brightness of the right. Whoever opposes it is going to draw a small black dot in Emperor Taizong's life history.

"How many buffaloes are there?"

"Not much, three hundred."

"It's enough."

"Before Zheng Guogong left, he said that he wanted to recruit more Huainan people, observe, do we really want to listen to him?"

"Is he still in Jiangxia or Wuchang?"

"Not there."

"So he's a fart? Can you control us? ”

Lao Zhang mocked Wei Zheng, and then said to the left and right staff, "These new lands can grow sugarcane and cotton. The boundary of Axe Lake is open, and if the water of the Jinshui River is recorded correctly, then you can also open up a peach orchard or mulberry field. If it is a fruit, if you want to make a profit, you always want it outside the three-year period. But at present, canned food is in short supply, and white sugar is also in short supply, so it is said that Liaodong Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, it costs two stones of sugar a day, do you know what it is used for? ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Zhang Gan, a staff member of the family, explained on the side: "Shicheng Iron and Steel Factory has meat, but it has also tasted bad over the years. In addition, there were several times when the Turkic slave Khitannu made trouble, and it was a pleasure to kill, but the rest of the people could not be kept in mind. Everyone also understands the principle of both soft and hard, so in the past two years, Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant has had some meat, which is to be braised with sugar. Two stones of sugar a day, most of which are used for cooking. ”

"Liaodong actually eats well?!"

"This brute is still against the sky?!"

A group of local bureaucrats in Jingchu were all shocked and inexplicable, in this world, they actually gave such treatment and benefits to barbarians? It's not scientific!

Lao Zhang smiled: "You calculate all day long, and it doesn't count these catties." How many people are there in Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant? Just two stones of sugar, even if it is all used to make braised pork, how many barbarians can be fed? These are just tricks to buy the heads of barbarians, don't take it seriously. ”

"Look, is our new land really used to grow sugar cane?"

"What? Afraid of making the Feng family lively? The gray sugar in Lingnan is sold, but the gray sugar in Ezhou can't be sold? Do you think there is no sugarcane in Yangzhou or do you think there is no sugarcane in Suzhou? It's just that it's just a season of planting, and a stubble is harvested in autumn. After the Silk Road was opened, the white sugar hoarded in Dunhuang was probably ...... How many are there? Shiro, do you remember? ”

Zhang Zhen, another staff member of the family, thought for a while and replied, "There are 40,000 stones." ”

"Forty thousand stones—"

"Forty thousand stones! This...... How is this possible?! 40,000 stones! Can this be sold?! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Zhen explained very calmly: "Earlier, most of the camel team was from the king of Huaiyuan County. This year, there are more than 90,000 camels in the camel team registered in Yangguan. Because of the need to cooperate with the Western Army, all the sugar transferred from Chang'an and Longyou was hoarded in Dunhuang. ”

"And the emperor has long wanted to repair the Dunhuang Palace, and the king of Huaiyuan County deliberately kept these white sugars in order to celebrate. It is also to show the wealth of the Celestial Empire......"

Is it easy to make a sycophant? To pat a sycophant to be ready for a few years, have you ever seen a hundred thousand camels?

For a while, the local bureaucrats in Jingchu felt inferior, and felt that their usual technical level of sycophants was too low to be on the stage. Compared with Li Simo, the king of Huaiyuan County, they are really "Nanban", very young and naïve.

"Four million catties of sugar, that sounds like a lot. But in the Western Regions Tianzhu and Persian Flin Kingdom, there are also many people. And the last person ate tea earlier, not only adding sugar, but also adding milk. After Cheng Chubi laid down and the end, the original and the last nobles still ate like this. Even if you eat a pot of tea and two taels of sugar, how much is it in a day and how much is it in a month? How much is it in a year? ”

Zhang Gan, who knew that foreign systems were different, also opened his mouth on the side, "It is not limited to the countries of the Western Regions, such as the Northern Tianzhu like Gandhara ......."

"But the 'Western Qin Society' raised manpower to build a merchant castle in the Xindu River?"

Someone interjected and asked.

"It's that Gandhara. In such ancient and modern Buddhist countries, most of the people in the city are two or three thousand, and most of them are only more than 10,000. It's just a believer, but it's scattered all around. Such as Gandhara, its letter on both sides of the river, not limited to mountains, forests and ravines, farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting people, many worship of the Buddha. In the past few years, it was not good, but in recent years, because of Huang Guanzi's real dragon slaying, there are many superstitious people. There are countless people who worship the Son of Taihao and respect the precious furniture. Among them, white sugar is like China's three animals. ”

Speaking of which, many people suddenly understood.

In this way, if such a foolish man and a foolish woman are deceived by Li Zhenren...... Pointing out, I'm afraid that the cattle and sheep are all exchanged for sugar, and then enshrined in the gods and temples? ”

For a moment, everyone fell silent. This kind of act is really cruel, and it is extraordinarily cruel. As far as the bureaucrats present are concerned, their moral and moral spirit is still very high, and although sometimes they are put into practice, they may not be able to control their own hands, accidentally embezzle and accept bribes, and lose their trust in the masses.

But!

The sage said well, the gentleman is far away from cooking.

Although I am corrupt, I can't bear to see other people's families ruined because of corruption.

In the same way, although it is very pleasant for me to abduct and deceive foolish men and women, it does not mean that I am indifferent to seeing them lose not only their property but also their souls.

The bureaucrats struggled and contradicted themselves, so the atmosphere was cold, and they fell silent.

They originally thought that since it was the Silk Road, it must have been sold, and it must have been bought by the Hu people.

But I never expected that there would be such a means......
