Li Shimin

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded, then remembered something, and continued to say to Li Chang: "When the warehouse is being built, I need to build another winery. I will go to draw the blueprints when I go back."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang nodded again and again.

As for the brewery, Li Chang didn't pay much attention to it.

In Li Chang's view, it was just a small workshop. Anyway, the king had already built so many workshops in Li's Village, and building one more would only take up a few acres of land.

Afterwards, seeing that Li Xuan didn't explain anything, Li Chang hurriedly resigned.

"San Lang is back!"

In the other courtyard, Cui Mi was overjoyed when he saw Li Xuan's return, and hurried up to greet him, "Congratulations to Sanlang for the bumper harvest this year, with four shi of grain per mu."

"Mi'er's words are a little distant. As the concubine of Jin Wang, those paddy fields belong to Mi'er!"

Li Xuan chuckled lightly, then said to Cui Mi teasingly.

In the past few days, after getting acquainted with each other, the two of them are no longer the polite address between the king and the princess, and they directly address each other by nicknames in private.

"San Lang is making fun of my concubine again."

Cui Mi scolded Li Xuan, but her eyes were still full of smiles, she knew that she didn't mean to be angry at all.

"Why would this king make fun of Mi Er? It's just that Mi Er is not well informed. Those paddy fields don't just yield four stones per mu." Li Xuan laughed.

"Don't worry, Saburo, together with the water fish in the paddy field, it will yield five stones per mu!"

Cui Mi looked proud. As the concubine of Jin, all the servants and servants of the village household will notify her whenever there is any news.

"Not these!"

Li Xuan chuckled and continued: "Mi'er may not know that the rice harvested from the fields is huge and plump, and now not only His Majesty, but also the dignitaries of the aristocratic families in the city are scrambling to get the rice from the farm for breeding. .There is one stone of rice in the village, and the dignitaries of the aristocratic family exchange two stones of rice."

Li Xuan said with a smile, "Based on this calculation, the yield per mu is eight stones!"

"Eight stones?"

Cui Mi was startled for a moment, and then looked at Li Xuan with surprise on his face: "Your Majesty said that the rice in the village is all high-quality breeding?"

When Cui Mi was in the Cui family, he had heard about breeding.

Fertile land is easy to find, but breeding is hard to find.

After harvesting the grain, many people will first put aside the grain that has grown well, or the grain with full grains, as the next year's grain.

Good grain seeds are like half of good genes, and the grain grown under the same conditions will grow fuller and bigger.

It's just that it's really hard to find high-quality grains. Many aristocratic families can't find enough dupe grains in a year, so they can only grow with ordinary grains.

Thinking about it, Cui Mi's expression changed for a moment, and he said quickly: "Sanlang, I have something to ask."

"Ok?"

Li Xuan was taken aback, he had never seen Cui Mi look like this before.

"Are you homesick? If you are lonely, I will send someone to call Cui Hongmo to accompany you to relieve boredom. If you are homesick, I will accompany you back to Qinghe when the autumn harvest is completely over!"

"Saburo misunderstood!"

A touch of emotion flashed in Cui Mi's eyes, but she still said hastily.

I was afraid that Li Xuan would send someone to call her fifth brother all the way back from Chang'an City.

Thinking how many days she has been in Lijiazhuang, that fifth brother has already been here five times.

Thinking of the sad expression on the fifth brother's face, Cui Mi wanted to laugh.

"Why is that?"

Li Xuan asked.

"Going back to the king is for breeding." Cui Mi said hastily.

"High-quality breeding is hard to find. Since those aristocratic families will rush to exchange for this kind of seedlings. The Cui family must also urgently need this kind of seedlings. Therefore, I also want to ask the king to keep some for the Cui family."

"How many acres of land does the Cui family have?"

Li Xuan asked.

"This?"

Cui Mi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "There should be tens of thousands of acres of fertile land."

"How many acres?"

Li Xuan was stunned, and then said: "Ten thousand mu of land needs four hundred grain seeds, even if all the rice in the village is exchanged for the Cui family, it is far from enough."

"Sanlang, the Cui family has a lot of fertile land, but they are all occupied by various branches. Your Majesty only needs to leave four hundred shi!" Cui Mi said cautiously.

"can!"

Li Xuan nodded, "Then the Cui family needs to exchange eight hundred stones of new food!"

"Don't worry, Saburo, this kind of breeding can make a lot of money even if it costs [-] shi of new grain!" Cui Mi said hastily.

"Well, I will inform Cui Hongmo to exchange for new food tomorrow!" Li Xuan said.

"Thank you Saburo!"

Cui Mi's face was full of joy.

"It's just a little effort, if Mi Er wants to thank me, you can learn new skills with me at night!"

Li Xuan chuckled.

"It's broad daylight, Saburo don't want to talk nonsense!" Cui Mi blushed.

"Let's talk about it tonight!"

Li Xuan laughed loudly, then walked upstairs.

In his previous life, Li Xuan was also a drunkard.

Therefore, in the second year of coming here, I have already explored the method of brewing wine.

However, suffering from the scarcity of food, he only brewed such a small bottle of alcohol for emergencies.

Now, millions of catties of grain will be recovered immediately, and he can do whatever he wants.

When he came to the study, he took out a lot of blueprints according to his memory, and Li Xuan sat in front of the desk and began to revise and revise.

With so much food and reinforced concrete, his previous ideas can be improved even more.

at the same time.

Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang and others also entered Lijiazhuang and came to the square under the leadership of Jin Wang's personal guards.

……

Chapter 338

"One stone for high-quality breeding, and two stones for new grain?"

After listening to Fang Xuanling and others, Zhang Liang, Qin Qiong and others couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Zhijie, didn't you say before that it only needs to be increased by [-]%?"

"Hey, third brother, that's Your Majesty, we need two stones of new food in exchange for it!" Cheng Zhijie said hastily.

On the side, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang and others squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of rice, and stared at it for a long time.

"Third brother Qin, come and see, this kind of high-quality breeding is worth two stones!"

"I'll take a look!"

Hearing this, Qin Qiong quickly walked up, took a look, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"I want fifty stone!"

"I want fifty stone too!"

Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji and others who came together said hastily.

Hearing this, all the dealers were overjoyed.

They quickly took out the rice seeds that they had just brought home.

On the way back, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and others were still overjoyed.

Looking at the rice in his hand, his face was full of joy.

With these high-quality breeds, the harvest of their fields next year can at least increase by [-] to [-] percent.

Following Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others, who returned to Chang'an from Lijiazhuang with the cartload of rice seeds, the dignitaries of the aristocratic families who had heard some news hurriedly ordered their servants to prepare some gifts for those who had friendship. to the house.

……

the next day.

The people in Chang'an City discovered that overnight, all the dignitaries of the aristocratic families, as if they had made an agreement, took a group of carriages and lined up to the south of the city early in the morning.

Along the way, there were long queues of carriages, all the way to the gate of Lijiazhuang.

With so many aristocratic families crowding in, the personal guards of King Jin of Li Family Manor were all nervous.

Xue Rengui personally leads people and guards at the gate of the village.

Each time, only three forces are allowed to enter.

And the aristocratic families who went in did not include the lake, and directly took out more than half of the deposit, and each aristocratic family asked for hundreds of shi of grain.

After several aristocratic families came down, there was not a single grain of rice left in the hands of the farmers.

Even the rice in Jin Wang's mansion was only exchanged by the three families, and it was exchanged once.

"Housekeeper Li, I heard that His Royal Highness King Jin's paddy field produces four stones per mu, and the paddy field of thousands of acres has at least three thousand stones of rice. Why did it disappear so quickly?"

A steward of an aristocratic family asked Li Chang anxiously.

"You gentlemen, there is really not a single grain left!" Li Chang said indifferently.

Seeing Li Chang's expression, those family members couldn't help but sighed, and then quickly asked: "Dare to ask Steward Li, can you tell me who took away so much rice at once, and I am in urgent need of this kind of rice?" Breeding, find him to replace some!"

"Qinghe Cui's family!"

Without even thinking about it, Li Chang said directly.

"Qinghe Cui's family?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and quickly asked: "How many stones did the Qinghe Cui family change?"

"Four hundred stones!"

Li Chang said.

"what?"

Now, all the family members were angry.

When they came, they all negotiated. In order for everyone to change, each family should not exceed a hundred stones at most.

Unexpectedly, for Cui Hongmo, such a villain, he exchanged four hundred stones in one go.

Thinking about it, everyone looked angry, and slowly cupped their hands towards Li Chang, and said, "Thank you, Steward Li, for letting me know. I'll go find Cui Hongmo right away!"

In an instant, all the stewards of the aristocratic family rushed towards the small courtyard farthest from the Li Family Manor.

At this moment, in the courtyard, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde were drinking happily.

If so many high-quality breeders are collected at once, they will definitely be praised by the head of the family and some elders.

"Brother Zheng, since it is costly to transport new grain at this moment, why don't you discuss with the farmers that you can use three stones of old grain to replace two stones of new grain!"

"Brother Cui's words are very clever. This method must be approved by the clan, and those farmers will also agree." Zheng Mingde looked happy.

"Let's go, I'll go find sixth uncle!"

"Extremely..."

After saying that, the two picked up the jug, stood up, and walked out of the courtyard.

As the sixth uncle who was originally the village elder of Lijiazhuang, after so many households came, the status of the sixth uncle among the households in Lijiazhuang has not declined.
