Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Let's go, I remember that I made an appointment with you. During the Chinese New Year, I will come to your place to eat meat and dumplings filled with white flour and meat. Do you have any now?" Li Ke waved his hand directly, smiling very freely. Take the lead and walk forward.

"Yes, yes! We can all live a good life now!" The village head here hurriedly said.

"Hahaha, let's go and have a look." Li Ke was very happy.He believes that the village head here is not lying, because he can see that the land in this village has been compacted and covered with river sand, so that even when it rains, there will be no rain. Can get very muddy.

Of course, Li Ke didn't have to worry about horses and so on. Surrounded by the villagers, Li Ke walked into the village. As he walked, Li Ke could see that the houses in these villages had also been preliminarily planned.

There is a certain distance between each household, and most of the time it is a very neat row of houses.

Li Ke still had some impressions of this place, and he immediately recognized the house in Liu Laosan's house, which was so exciting to Liu Laosan and others.

But when Li Ke came over, he happened to see Liu Laosan's wife hurrying over from a distance with a large piece of pork in her hand.

Seeing Li Ke suddenly, Liu Laosan's mother-in-law was startled, and was at a loss for a while.

"What's going on here?" Li Ke asked with a smile, pointing to the pork in Mrs. Liu's hand.

"This..." Liu Laosan stammered a little and didn't say it for a while.

The village head next to him was a little anxious: "Liu Laosan, what's the matter with you? Is there no meat in the house? Didn't your family kill a pig?"

The village head didn't mean anything else, but he was afraid that His Highness would think that they had a bad life and start worrying about them again.They have really gone through an unprecedented time, so we can't let His Highness worry about it anymore.

There are so many things going on in the Tang Dynasty, how could His Highness keep worrying about them.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Liu Laosan, you can just say it. It's okay." Li Ke said with a smile.

"This...Your Highness, didn't I see you coming, so I asked my mother-in-law to buy some pork at Lao Qi's house. Lao Qi's house killed the New Year pig just the day before yesterday, and there is still fresh meat at home. All the meat in my house is made into pigs." It's oily, and there's only marinated pork, and it's better to eat fresh pork when eating dumplings." Liu Laosan said embarrassedly.

"Your Highness is like this. This meat belongs to my family. The third child is not lying. He just wants Your Highness to eat fresh meat, but this meat is my family's invitation to Your Highness to eat." Among the crowd, a man who came later said loudly. opened the mouth.

"Lao Qi, you fart! I paid for it! Who said that your family invited you, and His Highness wants to come to my house for dinner." Liu Laosan's wife quit when she heard this, and subconsciously uttered swear words.

"I didn't want it!" the old seven said loudly.

"I gave it, and threw it underground at your house!" Mrs. Liu said angrily.

"Don't you say that you are inviting His Highness to dinner, please Your Highness to dinner, if my Seventh takes money, won't I be poked in the back? My Seventh is dead and I have no face to see my ancestors!" Rubbing his neck, he blushed and said loudly.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Your Highness is still here, isn't it embarrassing enough?" The village chief was a little dumbfounded, you are really promising, and you don't look at any occasion.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, it's all true temperament, what does this mean, it means that I have a high status in your mind! Haha! In this way, don't argue with the two of you. Let everyone in your village have a meal."

"In this way, how about treating this meat as if all the people in your village came out together, and then sharing a little bit for each household?" Li Ke said with a loud smile.

"Okay, Your Highness, let's go out together." The other onlookers were immediately happy and agreed directly.

This time Liu Laosan and Lao Qi couldn't object, so they naturally agreed.

"In that case, I'll go to Liu Laosan's house for dinner. Didn't I promise him before, you will have a meal of white flour and meat dumplings here during the Chinese New Year, and the weather today is not bad. After dinner, everyone chats in the yard together , I have something to go back in the afternoon, okay?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Okay!" There were loud applause from all around, "What are you still doing, third daughter-in-law, hurry up and cook, let's help." The old sisters-in-law over there all pulled Liu's third daughter-in-law Son walked to his house.

Li Ke followed Liu Laosan and the others to Liu Laosan's house again. Liu Laosan's daughter-in-law was making dumplings, and Li Ke simply laughed and spent time with everyone in the yard.

Soon, the huge courtyard of Mr. Liu's family was full of people, and even some children climbed on the surrounding walls and the roof.

Li Ke didn't care, he just smiled and told everyone to be safe, and then started chatting with everyone.

The things they talked about were very simple, and they were all familiar to the common people, and they were closely related to their lives, such as some things in their homes now.

Every household bought iron pots. They were the first group of refugees to start working in state-owned commercial firms, and their monthly income was increased the most. Therefore, this group of people can be regarded as the first batch of workers in the Tang Dynasty.

It was a great opportunity for them to transform from refugees to what they are today.

During the chat with them, Li Ke knew that each household of these common people was not given much land, with an average of about ten acres per household.This is because the arable land near Chang'an is very scarce, and these refugees are mostly allocated to them from the wasteland in the hands of the government.

The extra land belongs to other people around, and if they want to allocate [-] mu of land, they can only move to farther places.

But these refugees themselves have a high monthly income, and naturally they are unwilling to migrate, so they accept this amount of cultivated land.

However, this amount of arable land is enough for them. Most of them plant a few acres of wheat and eat it themselves, and then plant two acres of alfalfa to raise pigs, chickens, ducks and other livestock.

Now the output of wheat, seven or eight acres of fertile land is basically enough to feed a family for a year.What's more, there are still two seasons here.

Being able to raise poultry and livestock also means that every household has no shortage of meat.

It's like Liu Lao San's family, killing two pigs, and then refining the oil and putting them in the side room, enough to eat until next winter when the New Year's pigs are slaughtered.

This is a huge improvement over the past.

Moreover, every household bought a lot of thick linen, and processed wool can also be bought for winter clothes. All in all, these first batch of workers near Chang'an can basically catch up with the peasants in rich areas when Li Ke was a child in his previous life, around 90. The people lived.
