I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

As he spoke, Li An showed his standard villain face again.

Tian Qi was puzzled, did this prince really care about the common people, or was it true that the sheep had to be fattened before slaughtering as he said!

"My lord, the imperial court's taxation is already very heavy now, and it is absolutely forbidden to increase the tax without permission." Tian Qi still reminded.

He thought what Li An meant was that when the people harvested well, they would pay back all the increased taxes.

Li An glanced at Tian Qi speechlessly, "How much can you collect by collecting taxes?"

As he spoke, Li An stretched out his finger and pointed at his head, "Didn't I tell you that if you need to use your brains more, I will be willing to let them send all the money into my hands, and I will never tire of it."

Thinking of the unrestrained and unrestrained life of being rich and luxurious in the future, Li An couldn't help showing a villainous smile again.

Tian Qi moved his butt subconsciously, moving a little away from Li An.

As soon as he left, Liu Yiyi squeezed over and sat down next to Li An.

Smelling the girl's unique fragrance, Li An turned his head to look at Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi was raised by Li An to become more and more juicy.

Liu Yiyi met Li An's gaze, her expression didn't change, and she continued to carefully select the seeds.

Maybe she was sitting here because there was an empty seat next to the simple Li An.

"By the way, Yiyi, how much is the price of grain in Qingshui County now?" Li An asked.

"It's already down to eight coins and one dollar. It will take some time to get to the five coins and one dollar that the prince expected."

Liu Yiyi's light voice came.

Li An nodded, Liu Yiyi was much more efficient than Tian Qi.

"You have to monitor the price of food at all times. The price of food must be controlled by the county government. If the people feel panic because of the skyrocketing price of food in the future, the foundation will be shaken."

……

As batches of seeds were distributed, there were more people working in the farmland.

Qingshui County is very poor. There is not a single farm ox in the fields of Qingshui County.

Only the common people held their hoes against the scorching sun and loosened the soil once and for all.

Fortunately, the fields have been irrigated by canals for some days, and they are no longer hardened as before, and the people have saved a lot of energy.

The seeds went to the ground, and after a while, there were many lush young shoots on the yellow soil.

When the slack time came, the common people took advantage of their free time to go to the county government to listen to Li An's lectures and teach the common people how to farm.

Dahua's agriculture is not very developed, and the people's cultivation is the most basic of digging the soil and weeding, and there is no concept of fertilization at all.

How much you can harvest depends entirely on luck and whether God will reward you with food.

I remember when Ang Lee gave his first lecture, he asked the common people what is the determinant of a good harvest?

A commoner stood up directly and shouted: "God!"

Li An was so angry that he took off his shoes and threw them over, "It depends on the god of the fart, it depends on fertilization, weeding, and pest control, and it depends on the careful care of your hands."

After that, Ang Lee taught the common people how to compost and fertilize, how to prevent crop diseases, and how to deal with crops when they get sick.

This busy work lasts for half a month.

He doesn't know much about farming, but it's enough.

After imparting farming knowledge, Li An sent people to buy a large amount of pig iron and returned.

Li An set up a blacksmith class by himself, and he asked the blacksmith class to make some farm tools to practice their hands.

After the practice is almost done, let them make swords and armor.

The first batch only required blacksmiths to forge [-] pairs of swords and armors, and there was only one requirement. Each of these armors and swords must be made of [-]-smelted steel that has gone through thousands of tempers!

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the lives of the people in Qingshui County are also on the right track.

On this day, accompanied by Tian Qi, Li An went to the countryside to inspect.

Walking to a field, the lush and thriving seedlings made Tian Qi shed tears of excitement.

It has been many years, and Qingshui County has not seen such a vibrant scene.

As he walked, a piece of field suddenly left Tian Qihei's face down.

This field is in stark contrast to the fields seen earlier.

The crops in the field were thin and short, not as tall as the weeds, and the already weak seedlings were covered with insects, and it was estimated that they would be eaten up by insects in a short time.

Evidently the field had been neglected for a long time.

"Whose land does this belong to? Find him out and see if I don't beat him today!" Tian Qi was really angry.

It's not easy for a virtuous king like Li An to come to southern Xinjiang. He cares about the people and promotes agricultural development. So there are some foolish people who don't understand?

Even if given a chance, he wouldn't be able to grab it!

Chapter 22

Thinking that the seeds in the field were carefully selected one by one under the scorching sun on their heads, Tian Qi felt that his hard work had been wasted.

"Yes!" A yamen servant was about to rush to the village to pick up someone on the spot.

Li An smiled indifferently and waved his hands, "Don't worry about him, he will regret it in a few months!"

At the same time, the owner of the land was still sleeping soundly in bed.

"Master, I passed by the field today, and the crops of other families are growing very well, but our crops are full of weeds. If this continues, other people's families will definitely have a good harvest, and our family may not be able to harvest a grain of grain. "

"Good harvest, the rainy season is coming soon. Just wait and see, no matter how good the crops are in other people's fields, there will be nothing left after the flood.

We just wait for that time to go to the county government to receive subsidies. "

The man said confidently and nonchalantly.

The woman wanted to say something, but the man turned his back impatiently.

……

A week later, the sky began to rain lightly.

It rained for three whole days without stopping.

Tian Qi paced back and forth anxiously in the county government office, and the rainy season really came.

He had already sent people to the county above Qingshui County to investigate, and there was even more torrential rain, as in previous years.

Like Tian Qi, the people in various villages were also in a hurry.

This year's seedlings have grown better than ever, and it must be a bumper harvest year, but there must be no more floods.

Thinking from the bottom of my heart, the common people set up god tablets at home, and burned incense and prayed worriedly every day.

And Ang Lee...

Inside Hongxingfang, Li An was sitting in a familiar private room, hugging left and right to feel happy.

"My lord, I will feed you grapes."

After a coquettish woman finished speaking, she plucked a grape from the grape bunch with her red lips.

"The grapes in your Hongxingfang are sweet." Li An smiled happily.

Just when he was having fun, the old bustard of Hongxingfang came to Li An with an apologetic smile on his face.

"I have seen the prince."

Li An glanced at the old bustard, and instantly understood that he was here to ask for a bill.

Li An got up instantly: "I'm going to the toilet, Wang Hu, you continue to drink."

Hearing this, Wang Hu also looked at the bustard: "My lord, I happen to be going there too!"

Wang Hu has already suffered from Li An's urine escape once, how could he be treated the same way for the second time?

Li An glanced at Wang Hu speechlessly, oh shit, Wang Hu has learned a lot, so he can't bring Wang Hu with him next time, he has to bring other bullies.

"That's fine, let's go together." Li An said and walked towards the door of the box.

The bustard dodged and bowed to block Li An's way.

"Hey, you are so brave, you dare to block my prince's way!" Wang Hu yelled angrily.

"Don't dare, dare not." The old bustard shook his head repeatedly.

"Then get out of the way."

Hearing this, the bustard directly knelt down towards Li An, weeping so hard that the rouge on her face was weeping: "My lord, please do me a favor, please settle the bill, you owe Hongxingfang It's several thousand taels.

If you don't pay the bill again, Laoshen's Red Apricot Shop will soon be closed. "

"We owe so much?" Li An leaned into Wang Hu's ear and whispered, "Have you been cheating on me again, kid?"

"My lord, you wronged me, I came with you only for the sake of elegance, I never play dirty.

My brothers and I sneaked in when we were playing dirty, and she didn't keep the accounts for us, so we settled the accounts every time! "

Li An thought about it, and he has been whoring for nothing for several months. The wine should be the best, the girl should be the most beautiful, and the music should be the most wonderful. It seems to make sense.

After all, this Red Apricot Square used to be the favorite place for rich businessmen to patronize. Those wealthy businessmen spent money extravagantly, so the charges for Hongxing Square were higher than other brothels.

Originally, even if Li An owed Hongxingfang silver, it would be nothing, but a few thousand taels to curry favor with a prince would be a solid profit no matter how you think about it.

But the rich merchants in Qingshui County were all slaughtered by Li An once, and the merchants in the past dared not settle down in Qingshui County.

In Qingshui County now, the people are all grateful to Li An, but the landlords, gentry, and wealthy businessmen with a little bit of money in their families are all in awe of Li An's complaints.

Li An runs to Hongxingfang every day, who dares to come to Hongxingfang?

As a result, the business of Hongxingfang has plummeted, and now the business is really about to fail.

"Ahem~" Li An coughed and looked directly at the bustard.

"I keep accounts all the time, right?"

The old bustard nodded, "I've already recorded several thousand taels."

"Whose name do you remember?"

"Magistrate Tian."

"That's right, Lao Tian owes you money, what do you want from me? Ask Lao Tian for the debt!"

"Ah?!" The bustard froze on the spot.

Seeing this, Li An and Wang Hu looked at each other.

slip!

By the time the bustard came back to his senses, Li An had already disappeared with Wang Hu.

"Mom, what should we do about this? We can't afford to offend the lord, but if we can't get back the money, then..." A young servant had a troubled expression on his face.

Hearing this, the bustard bit his handkerchief tightly and thought about it.

"The prince often comes to our Red Apricot Square. Although the prince is a little unpredictable, he is not a domineering person. Go and contact the mothers of the other brothels, and we will go to Tian County Magistrate to ask for debts!"

"Will this anger the prince?"

"Probably not, you can't look at this prince with the eyes of ordinary people!"

……

At this time, Li An and Wang Hu sprinted for a hundred meters, and they were already far away from Hongxingfang.

"By the way, my lord, you are so rich, why don't you settle the money? We are not the ones who are short of money?"

"You know what a fart, I, Li An, am an upright person, and I am the kind of person who spends his days and drinks his life?"

"But don't we come here basically every day?"

"As long as I don't spend a penny in the brothel, I don't have whoring. This is called character!"

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment when he heard it, what the prince said obviously didn't make sense at all, but he always said it with full momentum, very similar to that!

"Don't ask me out to drink flowers and wine recently, I'm going to discuss life and philosophy with Yiyi, I'm not like you, I'm a career-oriented person!"

"You are accompanied by Miss Liu every day, and I am a bachelor." Wang Hu muttered softly.
