Chapter 473 Not only to pick up girls, but also to buy food
When he was drunk, Li Shimin, who blushed like a monkey's butt, said to this young master: "... Among the heroes in the world, only Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian and his father will have the opportunity to win the world. Of course, if my brother Tai is willing to take action, I believe that the world will be able to achieve peace within five years."
"I wonder if you can help me with me?" This young master laughed loudly, then asked Li Shimin half-jokingly.
"I think, but my father is still there, so it's hard for me to disobey my father's orders." Li Shimin said with great emotion.
"This is true, but the days are still long. Come on, come on, all you can drink this cup, I wish the world peace as soon as possible
After eating and drinking, bragging and spanking, a group of friends flicked first, while my sister and I, Li Shimin, Li Xuanba and Yaoguang, stayed.
Staying in the special shareholders' private room, siping fragrant tea, and admiring the night of Chang'an outside the window and the starry sky. From time to time, I heard the whispers and low laughter of Yaoguang and my sister, as well as the flattery of Li Shimin, and the snoring of Li Xuanba from time to time, which made people feel at ease and relaxation of having a half-day leisure life.
Li Shimin was telling what happened during his stay in Jinyang. His exaggerated tone and vivid language occasionally made my girl cry or sigh. This made Li Shimin even more proud and even more spitting.
Li Xuanba is dozing and sleeping while leaning against the window. This is Li Xuanba's routine. At the beginning, he was very surprised that this guy can't get fat even if he eats so much. But later he finally realized that after he takes a nap, he will start to play rock locks with a lot of energy, or fight with someone alone or be single-handed.
The strong energy can always be vented successfully, so that he can continue to maintain such a slim figure. I believe that if he locked this guy in the room for a month, he would definitely gain about 20 kilograms in just like him and eat and stay away from his meals.
The current scene seems to have returned to the eastern capital Luoyang. Such scenes often occurred at that time. However, if Liu Hongji was still lurking in Luoyang City, the current Luoyang City is no longer the open and prosperous eastern capital Luoyang.
The population is also reduced by nearly one-third, and all industries have withered and all the people are suffering. There is no such thing as the wealth and luxury of the past. At least, it is a little far behind the current Chang'an City.
Today, a large number of Central Plains refugees still flee to Guanzhong. However, Tongguan will not open, but they are still sent to Hancheng County by ships before diversion. In the past six months, the number of refugees collected has reached 750,000, which shows how great the disaster and impact the Central Plains rebellion has caused.
Nowadays, Guanzhong is building cement straight roads. Because there are a large number of refugees, labor will not be lacking, and refugees will have something to do and have food to eat, and there will be no riots.
The cement straight road from Hancheng County to Shangjun County has been completed. Now, the cement straight road from Wujiaocheng to Yan'an County to Yijun County and the cement straight road from Wujiaocheng to Yijun County and directly to Chang'an has started construction. 320,000 workers are building cement straight roads at a speed that is faster than Britain and the United States.
Now, the cement plant in Hancheng County has been expanded three times, and its daily output has reached 4.5 million kilograms, which seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only 2,250 tons of tonnage, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the output of the cement plant in the county where I worked.
The fourth phase of expansion is approaching its end. In addition, the construction of cement plants has started in the Fushui area of Yan'an and Zhengxian (Huaxian) industry. After it is put into production, the daily output is expected to be 3 million jin.
In this way, it is expected that within two years, the main roads from Chang'an to Yan'an County, which will go directly to Longxi, Hanzhong and Tongguan will be fully connected. Within five years, the county and county in Guanzhong will be fully connected to the cement straight road. Well, the first five-year plan outline has been initially formed.
In addition to road construction, there are also a large number of factories under construction, such as shipyards, paper mills, feed mills, ceramic factories, and clothing factories, textile factories, and various factories and mines, so that those refugees who have no land and have escaped from Guanzhong have obtained a stable job to support their families.
Only by governing Guanzhong well can the people of the world understand what benefits the new policy has, what benefits they can gain, and with goals, they can motivate more people to join the industry that agrees with the new policy.
In a word, the will of most people will be able to reverse the direction of history, and the future of China will become different.
"Brother, why are you stupid here? Why don't you go over and chat?" Li Shimin rushed over and said with a smile.
"No, I'm just thinking about something, how to deal with those grain merchants tomorrow." I sighed.
"Grain Merchants?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, his eyebrows jumped. "Is there something wrong with the grain harvest in Guanzhong this year? I remember you wrote to me last time saying that this year's year in Guanzhong should be a bumper harvest, and the grain harvest is good."
I shook my head and said, "Of course it's not that the grain harvest is not good, but because of the bumper harvest in Guanzhong, and the grain in other places is ridiculously expensive. Many speculative merchants have entered Guanzhong and are eyeing it. So I need to stabilize the grain prices, and I can't let those grain merchants pull all the grain in Guanzhong..."
Guanzhong has good weather and good weather. This year is a bumper harvest year. The grain income in Guanzhong will not be too bad. Excluding Hancheng County, there are currently 37.5 million mu of arable land in Guanzhong, but 80% are dry land, and only 7.21 million mu are paddy fields. The average amount of dry land is about one and a half stone, while paddy fields are about two stones.
A total of more than 59.855,000 stones were earned. This year, the grain began to enter the first year of reform. It was no longer the tax on the taxes in the past, but a pit of grain per acre. Whether you were a nobleman of the Sui Dynasty or a rich merchant in the past, those with land would have to collect rent.
However, the rent of such land is definitely not high, 37.5 million mu, of which nearly 5 million mu are unowned arable land, all of which are assigned to refugees or local people to cultivate. In addition to half of the output paid to refugees and tenants, the remaining half is fully handed over to the state, and 3.75 million stones of grain were obtained here.
In addition, the 2.7 million shi of grain collected by Hancheng County, totaling 6.45 million shi of grain, plus the grain reserves that I saved before and the grain reserves of Hancheng County were 11 million shi, plus the 8.6 million shi of grain reserves in Guangtong Cang, Yongfeng Cang and Guanzhong Yi Cang, then after the autumn harvest, there will be at least 2.86 million shi of strategic reserves.
In addition to normal taxes, in the hands of ordinary people, there is more than 50 million stones of grain still among the people. This is definitely not a small amount.
In the seventh year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, the national grain output reached 87.1 billion jin, or about 622 million shi. Today, the grain output in Guanzhong only accounts for one-tenth of the total output at that time.
But now, the world is in chaos and people are living in poverty. I am afraid that the total grain output in a year will not exceed 300 million stones, which is half the annual output in Daye in seven years. The grain output in Guanzhong is equivalent to one-fifth of the total national output.
This is already a very terrifying number. The population of Guanzhong is about 3.5 million, and the number of refugees has reached a huge amount of 4.8 million. According to the lunar eclipse of Li Kui during the Li period, one stone in that era was the Han system. One pound was only 250 grams per pound, and one stone was about 60 pounds per stone. Today, one pound is about 60 grams per pound, and one stone is about 140 pounds per pound, which means that one stone in the Han Dynasty is only one third of the current one stone.
In other words, it is enough for people to eclipse half a stone now. The total grain output in Guanzhong is enough for the entire Guanzhong population to eat for two years, and then some miscellaneous things will be deducted. At least about 30 million stones of grain will enter the circulation market in Guanzhong.
Because of this, grain merchants from all over the world, and even many grain merchants representing their respective forces, flocked to them like flies that smelled blood. Fortunately, Fang Xuanling immediately found out the situation and reported to me. Now, all grain merchants have been summoned to Chang'an City, and I have finally figured out a countermeasure and prepared to talk to these guys tomorrow.
In a word, these guys must not be allowed to disrupt the grain market in Guanzhong. So, there are some considerations here to sell grain.
Hearing this, Li Shimin's surprise faded and he changed into an embarrassing look. "Well, brother, I came here this time. In addition to being a marriage, I have another important thing, and I also have to deal with brother.
"Is it just for food?" I deliberately showed a surprised expression and secretly laughed in my heart. I knew that Li Shimin came to Guanzhong and it would be impossible for me to pick up girls. There would definitely be something wrong. After Fang Xuanling informed me of the grain merchant, I expected that Li Shimin was afraid that in addition to getting married, he was also for food.
At this time, the Yaoguang and the others came over and looked at us curiously. "What are you saying, so mysterious." The Yaoguang girl was very curious. Well, women's nature, both girls were gossiping on their faces. Even the Li Xuanba who was dozing off just now was awakened and asked while yawning. "What mysterious secret?"
"Your second brother came to Guanzhong not only to get married, but also to have an important mission." This young master couldn't help but laugh.
