I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

The difficulty is no less than that of the whole people running for a well-off life.

So, it turns out that those toubobs get what they say.

"Brother, this time the Ministry of Officials actually gave a seat for a Bapin County Chancellor, and it's still like that of Shangxian County. I really didn't expect it!"

Li Zhen smiled a little smugly, and he looked very sour.

For the magistrate of Shangxian County, high-end talents who passed the imperial examination are probably treated like this. Those who rely on favors like Li Zhen can be regarded as a lot of face for his father Li.

It's no wonder that Li Zhen is secretly cool, as the descendants of generals, they usually follow the path of martial arts and knighthood.

But compared to being knighted by martial arts, the promotion of herdsmen is the kingly way.

After all, now that Datang is wearing a magical costume, beating up the surrounding weak and small countries is a matter of raising hands.

Want to lead troops to earn credit?

Sorry, it depends on the face.

It's not something you can get if you want to.

In the past, it was called fighting for one's life, and it was a good thing to be lucky if someone got on.

Now it's obvious to get credit, and if he is not handsome, he probably won't be able to get in.

Therefore, under this background, the road to imperial examinations is fairer, and the path to advancement is more transparent.

And it will gradually become the general trend, because as the Tang Dynasty becomes more and more powerful, and the surrounding countries are conquered one by one, there will be fewer and fewer wars.

The advent of the prosperous age means the rise of the imperial examination road.

The competition may not be too fierce in the early stage.

But it is hard to say in the future. When the prosperous age comes, a powerful emperor like Li Shimin will burp, and when the new king takes power, at that time, a large number of reserved talents from aristocratic families will inevitably hit the imperial examination.

Especially the super aristocratic family of Wumen Qiwang, with their background, the energy burst out on the road of imperial examination will be as terrifying as a volcanic eruption in an instant.

At that time, there will be a wave of imperial examinations.

Or the kind with extremely disparity in strength.

After all, how could ordinary people compare with the children of aristocratic families with profound backgrounds.

Even with the cheap rice paper provided by Li Mu, a wild time-traveling dog, the gap cannot be narrowed overnight, and it will take time to slowly settle.

Fortunately, Li Shimin is still alive at this time, and because of Li Mu, he maintains a powerful imperial power that is far superior to the original history.

The aristocratic family knew that this would not be the best time, so they still chose to stay dormant for now.

But at most it will be dormant for 30 to [-] years. As long as it enters a period of political peace without a strong monarch, then the children of these aristocratic families will come out all at once.

And the time that ordinary people can win is only 30 to [-] years.

How much the gap can be narrowed depends entirely on God's will, or hope that a certain wild crossing dog can push it.

But between the aristocratic family and the ordinary people, there is still a poor family.

What is a poor family, the scope of the poor family is a bit wide, there are down-and-out families, and there are rich upstarts, even the upstart children like Li Zhen can also be classified as the poor family.

In short, there is no three generations of rich and powerful inheritance, you are a poor family.

And at this time, the most anxious thing is the poor family's children.

Because they must strive to grab resources and places as soon as possible within this buffer period.

Only in this way can we remain invincible.

Chapter 234 Big project requires big investment!

"Dalang, this Yunmeng Lake is the first to focus on water control. After this year's tide is over, as long as the spell is used properly, one side will surely gain the merits of water control."

Li Zhen frowned, "Brother, what do I know about water control?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, and patted Li Zhen on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Da Lang, everything is up to me."

Li Zhen's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "Brother, are you serious?"

"Why did you lie to you, you and my brother, we should watch over and help each other."

"Brother Enyi, I am so grateful!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed deeply.

Li Mu quickly helped him up.

"However, the method of water control also needs the help of local sages, and I can't help it."

"Hey, brother, don't worry, my lord still has some relationship in the court. During the reign of Wu De, Feng Gong served as the prefect of Hanyang. Feng Gong and my lord are old, just a letter is not necessary. Disaster."

When Li Mu heard this, he immediately laughed, what he wanted was your father's network.

As for Feng Gong in Li Zhen's mouth, his full name is Feng An, Shangzhu Kingdom, and Geng Guogong.

The whole of Lingnan was his territory. He was the prefect of Hanyang for a period of time. With the ability of this old man, as long as he is willing to take care of him, the whole south can basically walk sideways.

After all, this buddy has been in business for so many years, and he still has this ability. In a word, those local snakes with the name of "village sage" should not give face.

In this way, it is much more convenient to do things.

"Oh, that's a good relationship. With Feng Gong taking care of me, my business in Jiangnan will be smoother. Then I will ask Da Lang to recommend me, and thank you for my brother's generous gift."

Li Zhen had a smug face and patted his chest to express that everything was on me.

Li Mu was secretly refreshed, and it seemed that the plan could be bolder.

In the future, he can also rely on Brother Feng's strength when fighting hunters.

To be bolder, it is not impossible to conquer all the strategies in Southeast Asia.

cool!

"However, brother, the land in Hanyang has only [-] acres of land, and it is not as large as that in Henan. It is also Shangtian, and the land in Henan has a strong yield per mu. There are many Hanshui and other lands. I am afraid that I will not be able to make any achievements. "

When you are an official in the Tang Dynasty, the grain harvest is a hard target. If you fail to meet the grain harvest target, even if you have the merits of water control, you may have to discount it.

That's why Li Zhen was worried about this.

"Hey, Dalang, don't worry, I have my own ideas."

"Oh? Brother, what's your idea? Tell me quickly."

"Yunmengze in the south has a radius of thousands of miles, and there are at least two thousand lakes, large and small."

"What do you mean by brother?"

Li Zhen looked confused, I know there are many lakes, but what's the use?

"Has Dalang ever heard of reclamation of lakes for farming?"

"Create fields around the lake?"

"Yes, as long as the law is done properly, no less than 30 mu of fertile land can be obtained."

"30 million mu?"

Li Zhen is not calm at all, 30 mu, how big is this project?

"Brother, don't be ridiculous. It is not easy to build 30 mu of fertile land without 20 years of work?"

And there must be a prerequisite for this matter, that is, the water control must be done well, otherwise the fertile fields that have been created with great difficulty will be washed away by the flood in minutes, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Brother, what is the magic method that can be used quickly, please teach me." Li Zhen hurriedly asked.

"It is said to be a quick method, but it also requires tens of thousands of civilians. It is not easy to do."

When Li Mu said this, Li Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, this is the normal understanding.

In fact, the so-called quick fix is ​​nothing more than a large amount of investment in Li Mu's "high-tech" products.

The method is still the old method, which is to upgrade the equipment, which can greatly shorten the time.

But it's still a big project.

As for the construction of reservoirs, he does not dare to think about such a big project as the Three Gorges, but more small projects and reservoirs can still be built. We can't win in quality, so we should strive to win in quantity.

This kind of project may not be a big deal after [-] years, but at this time, it is definitely a big project. Once it is completed and put into use, the merits will be insignificant.

Li Mu felt sour just thinking about it.

Of course, such a large project requires not only money and technology, but also needs to adjust the interests of all parties.

Therefore, he needs the investment of big bosses. Li Zhen's joining is only the first one, and he needs to attract more small partners to join in the future.

But the bosses behind the little friends are not fools. If there is no profit, they will not invest.

And if your income is too little, and you only earn three melons and two dates, people will look down on you.

Therefore, before getting merit points, he must first get Kaiyuan Tongbao, so as to attract investors.

When necessary, we have to use war to attract people. As for the unlucky targets, of course they are those who refuse to be kings.

But this is a relatively long-term plan. For the current short-term profit plan, he plans to invest in a heavyweight black technology.

That is, hybrid rice.

Chapter 235 Fat Intestine Noodles, Have You Ever Eaten?

For something as high-end as hybrid rice, Li Mu, a wild time-traveling dog, alone cannot produce it.

But fortunately, he is also a dog, we have a system!

At most, it's just spending some merit points.

Being aggressive is strong!

a little bit...

In addition to reclamation of lakes for land reclamation, Li Mu also values ​​the shipbuilding industry in the southern Jiangling area and the professional veteran boat drivers.

Especially after Li Mu set up a shipyard in Hebei, he earned a lot of money by going to sea, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River immediately began to yearn for overseas places.

All of a sudden, private shipyards flourished.

Whether it's going out to sea to make money or reselling ships, it's a good career.

The point is that these local turtles clamoring to go out to sea to make money, they are so skilled and bold.

Several people pooled their money to buy a sand boat, and then they went to sea.

How dare you believe it?

But this is not the point, the point is that these soil turtles actually returned with a full load on a sand boat.

Lying in a big slot!

All of a sudden, all the veteran boat drivers in Jiangnan rushed forward.

Now a sandboat can be sold at a high price.

Of course, many people died.

But, whocares?

It doesn't matter how many people die, anyway, some people will return with full rewards.

This is enough, the people only want to see inspirational stories, and they really love the chicken soup of getting rich overnight.

As for the dead or something, it is selectively ignored.

After all, the income is really big enough to get rich overnight.

Even a powerful capitalist like Li Mu with a big family and a big business.

Ever since the four major fleets made great profits and made him taste the sweetness, he couldn't help but increase his investment.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the quality of the sailor. In the past, he insisted on preferring lack to excess, but now he has no bottom line. As long as he can hold his breath in the washbasin for a period of time, he is considered a qualified sailor.

But don't think that this is the bottom line, and there are even more bottom lines.

In some small shipyards, one person just stuffs it into the boat, regardless of whether you can hold your breath, even if you are a horseman who lives on the grassland all year round, he dares to stuff it into it.

As for getting sick and dying at sea, it doesn't matter, anyway, there are sharks in the sea, just put a set of sacks, throw them down with a plop, clean...

Even those turkeys who pooled their money to buy a sandboat and dared to rush into the sea, many of them can't swim, believe it or not?
