The case of the You family was solved, Yang Ze stayed in Shutangju graciously, and stayed in Langzhou for a few days, he was not idle in these days, he was not interested in any places of interest and beautiful scenery, but he was very interested in the industry and commerce of Langzhou, and almost all the shops in the city were taken a look in the past few days, and he turned around.

Langzhou's industry and commerce are not developed, although it is much stronger than Qiuzhou and Zhenxi, but compared with the big cities in the Central Plains, it is still much worse, but fortunately, there are all walks of life, but the scale is not large.

After a few days of visiting, Yang Ze found a very important thing, that is, the people of Langzhou are very gambling, in fact, this is also a common phenomenon in the entire northwest frontier, and the people in Zhenxi are also good at gambling, but they were not very rich before, and it was a problem for the people to eat, so there were no big gambling houses, and now there are many people fleeing from the famine, and there is no money to gamble, and the gambling industry has naturally not developed.

But Langzhou is different, one is far away from the border, and the other is that the people live a stable life, and there is a few spare money in their hands, so that there are naturally more big gambles and small gambling, and it is estimated that this is why the You family was able to make a fortune from opening a gambling house and eventually became the richest man in Langzhou!

Caicai followed Yang Ze in and out of the gambling house, the little girl was not interested in gambling money, on the contrary, she was very disgusted by the black smoke miasma in the gambling house, she asked Yang Ze: "Do you like gambling money very much, why didn't you know before!" Be careful, gambling money is very loser, even if you give you more gold, there will be a day when you lose everything! ”

Yang Ze was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing: "You actually talked to me about the truth, which is really beyond my expectations." I don't like gambling. It's just that everyone loves to gamble, so it's just a good time, and even if I like gambling, then I'm the one who opened the gambling house, not the one who went to gamble. ”

"You're going to open a gambling house?" Nana was very strange.

Tan Zhengwen is the most excited one, he has always been good at gambling, but he always likes to play tricks when gambling money, he also thought that Yang Ze was going to open a gambling house, if it was opened in the west of the town, it would be a government-run gambling house. It's the best deal.

Tan Zhengwen smiled: "Master." If we open a gambling house, we must let the apprentice be in charge, and the apprentice can't do anything else, but for gambling. That's a clear door. There are vain stewards. Make sure that the money is like a landslide and a tsunami, and it will all rush into your pocket, Master. ”

Yang Ze heaved and said, "Open a gambling house." It's so untechnical that even if I were to gamble, I wouldn't build a house and let gamblers throw dice in it. He waved his hand and stopped talking about the topic.

looked at other industries again, Yang Ze took the opportunity of Shu Tangju to be grateful to himself, and proposed to Shu Tangju to ask for the matter of craftsmen, as well as food, and also wanted to ask Shu Tangju to support some, of course, this is all bought with money, especially coarse grains that can be used to make wine, and the quantity that he wants is more, so Shu Tangju naturally agreed.

After staying in Langzhou for a few days, Yang Ze returned to Zhenxi with Caicai and his apprentices, and when he returned, he no longer traveled to the mountains and rivers, and he worked hard all the way, and returned to Zhenxi in less than a day.

At this time, the spring water period has passed, the surrounding area of Zhenxi has begun to vigorously produce, the people who fled here, see how much land in Zhenxi wants to have, as long as they are willing to work, they are not afraid of no food, they are naturally willing to stay, the surrounding area of Zhenxi County, a lot of new shacks have been built, and the people who fled live in it, hoping that Zhenxi County can distribute some land to them.

After Yang Ze returned to Zhenxi, Yan Chenghou told him about it, if Zhenxi wants to develop, it must have a population, and now outside the city, there are nearly 50,000 people who have fled, many old and weak, but there are also many strong and strong, and they must stay.

The development of Zhenxi, it is Yang Ze's idea, as a magistrate of a county, he also wants to make the land better and make Zhenxi prosperous, this is one of them, and the other is to show Li Yan his talent, after all, the days will be long, and Li Yan may be able to return to Chang'an, so not only do you have to get along well, but you also have to let Li Yan know that he is very capable.

Yang Ze personally made a plan for the development of Zhenxi, and that night, he took the plan and knocked on the door of Li Yan's palace.

Li Yan and his wife, these days are quite nourishing, so to speak, since the two of them were exiled to the west of the town, this period of time is the most comfortable, both husband and wife are very satisfied, especially the princess.

It was no one else who opened the door, it was Caicai's little girl board, a very good little girl, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but it was a pity that she followed Caicai, a strange princess, so the name was so weird.

As soon as Yang Ze entered the door, he smiled at the board and said, "Hey, isn't this a board, the prince can be in the mansion, has he had dinner?" ”

Xiao Yahuan was busy saying: "The prince, the princess, and the princess are all here, they are eating, and they are eating braised pork, which is fragrant!" Her mouth was still stained with meat juice, shiny and shiny, it seemed that Li Yan's family treated her well, and they gave her meat to eat.

There is a table in the courtyard, Li Yan and the princess, and Cai Cai are all sitting at the table, eating dinner, and there is a table against the wall of the courtyard, several servants are sitting around the table, also eating dinner, it seems that this family, life is quite harmonious.

When Li Yan's family saw Yang Ze coming, the most enthusiastic thing was not Caicai, but the princess. The princess is now pleasing to the eye when she looks at Yang Ze, and she is still developing in the direction of becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, she smiled: "Isn't this Yang Ze, I've been busy with a day's official business, have you eaten, come and eat together, come on." Board, don't hurry up and move a stool for Lord Yang. ”

The board agreed, brought a stool to Yang Ze, and brought a pair of chopsticks, Yang Ze was not polite, so he sat down at the table and said with a smile: "The lower officials are really hungry, thank you for your meal." ”

The princess looked at Yang Ze with a smile and asked, "Recently, there have been a lot of people outside, and there are no obedient and docile children, you can find a few more, the place in the house is big, and there are many people needed, and a few of them can't be busy just by relying on the board......"

Li Yan sighed, glanced at the princess, and thought: "It's just such a big courtyard, why do you need too many servants, just a few." There are not enough rooms, you still want more, let them live somewhere! ”

Yang Ze hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to look for Niangniang, I am honest and reliable, and Niangniang can rest assured." He glanced at the courtyard and said, "This courtyard is too simple, and the lower officials want to build a new palace for the prince and his mother in the city. The lower officials have plenty of money in this time! ”

The princess was surprised and delighted. She said happily: "Change the house? Okay, when will I change it? You're going to build a new one for us, okay, let's build it quickly. Is two months enough? ”

Li Yan hurriedly said: "How can this be done." I was exiled here by my mother. It is pointed out that you live in this house and cannot move out without permission! ”

In Zhenxi County, everyone calls him Wangye. But in fact, he is just a prisoner exiled here, and he is a prisoner with a strong enemy in the capital, I don't know when the empress will come down, he will be forced to hang, think about those Li family clans who were killed, Li Yan's hair will stand on end, and there will be unspeakable fear in his heart.

As soon as Li Yan mentioned her mother, the princess was also scared, she, like Li Yan, was the most afraid of the Dugu Empress, the expression on her face darkened, and the princess said: "Then, then you don't need to build a new one, let's live here." Actually, it's full of good things, and there's nothing missing. ”

Seeing her parents' expressions, Nana pouted and thought, "I want it again, but I don't dare to ask for it, I really don't know what I'm afraid of, is the imperial grandmother so fierce!" ”

This time she was wrong, her imperial grandmother, Empress Dugu, was even more fierce than she imagined, and much fiercer!

Yang Ze thought for a while, and said: "Xia Guan wants to build a garden, mainly so that the people in the city can have a place to go after hard work, play chess in the garden, drink tea, and enjoy flowers. ”

As soon as the princess heard this, she immediately became happy, Yang Ze was building a garden for their family in disguise, Li Yan was also happy, using this reason to repair the garden, then no one could say anything, and there was no need to move out of this house, killing two birds with one stone.

For the Li Yan family who fell in distress at this time, who is good to them at this time, they will be grateful for a lifetime, they have a good impression of Yang Ze, at this time they feel that Yang Ze is really thinking about them, once the impression is formed, they are not young, this is almost impossible to change, unless Yang Ze rebels in the future, there will be no day when he falls out of favor.

Yang Ze took out the prepared plan and said: "Lord Wang, this is a plan made by Xiaguan, named Zhenxi Development Plan, Xiaguan pondered, since he is an official in one place, he has to be a good official, so he made this plan, but Xiaguan is young, his experience is too shallow, and some places may not do well, so this plan has to ask the prince to take a look, if there is anything that needs to be modified, please also ask the prince to give advice." ”

Li Yan was taken aback, he had lost power for more than ten years, he had long forgotten what power was like, no official had ever asked him what his plans were, and with his short "political experience", he could not come up with anything to build.

But when he took the plan and looked at it a few times, he found that it was written concisely and to the point, he had lived in the west of the town for more than ten years, even if he didn't know how to do government affairs, but the situation was very well understood, and at first glance he felt that the plan was well written.

Li Yan said with a smile: "All the people who reclaim the wasteland, each person can get twenty acres of land, tax exemption within three years, this is excellent, the land here in the west of the town is a radius of hundreds of miles is wasteland, there is no shortage of land, but the safety problem is not easy to handle, this is not a peaceful place." ”

The princess also stretched her neck to look at the plan a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, it is not peaceful here in Zhenxi, if it is peaceful, there will be no people planting those wastelands." ”

Yang Ze hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Niangniang, you look down, about security, the lower officials want to build a farm with high walls, and the people live in the farm, first, it is safe, and second, if there are robbers attacking, then they will fight to the death with the robbers in order to protect their families and property, and there is that the lower officials don't want to raise too many soldiers, only recruit some elite soldiers, as a response, where there is a war situation, they will go to support where, so the speed is fast, and the soldiers are strong, as long as we win over the bald mud, Then there will be no large-scale war, and if there are only a few robbers left, then the danger is not great. ”

Li Yan nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, if you can take the initiative to suppress the bandits, then Zhenxi will be safer in the future." ”

Yang Ze immediately said: "According to the order of the prince, after the subordinate officials have trained the recruits, they will be sent to the surrounding areas to suppress bandits and ensure the safety of the west of the town." ”

For more than ten years, Li Yan has never felt so valued as today, almost moved to tears, he looked at the princess, and saw that the princess was also happy, he said: "Yang Qing, you are not only loyal to the king's affairs, but also willing to work hard, you are really a prime minister!"
