As spring returned to the earth, the Youzhou family was noisy, but in the end, they rented a large number of scalpers from Wang Xuance and began to cultivate the fields in an orderly manner.
Of course, the general order is that families who participate in the grass seed plan are given priority to rent, and then arrange the corresponding order according to the size of the family forces. None of the Lu family, Wei family and Zu family suffers a loss.
Of course, there are also some aristocratic families that have not participated in the grass planting program. They can only watch themselves distance themselves from these aristocratic families.
To be honest, if all the aristocratic families did not receive any help or compensation from Li Tai, then the Youzhou aristocratic families would definitely unite to confront Li Tai, the Yan King.
But the family that was originally on the same front suddenly had a solution. More importantly, this solution was not possible for me to use. In the eyes of these families, it would be betrayal.
In fact, these aristocratic families want to buy the cows in Wang Xuance's hands directly, after all, they will use Taoism next year.
But Wang Xuance said: "Now, there is no plowing ox in the entire Youzhou. If you buy it, you will make enemies with all the families of Youzhou, and if you rent it at a fair price, it will increase maintenance costs for no reason.
Find out why.
It would be better to leave this matter to the court and sort it slowly in order.
As for the idea of buying scalpers, if the grass planting plan continues to be implemented in the future, any aristocratic family will not lose their animal power in the end!"
With Wang Xuance's statement and Li Tai's support behind it, these aristocratic families still chose Wang Xuance's plan.
To be honest, there is a problem here, that is, the order of ploughs.
It is naturally much more convenient for those who plow first. As for those who plow later, they may accidentally go against the farming time.
In fact, this kind of operation was very common at the grassroots level in ancient times.
Generally, the plowing ox sent to the court is first carried by the powerful and noble families at the grassroots level, and then it will be the other people's turn.
Now, there are no ordinary people among the people present, and there are only landlords of all sizes.
At most, the big landlords first enjoyed the benefits of the court's policies, and the small landlords were affected to a certain extent.
In this case, those landlords who fled and could not rent scalpers because they did not join the grass planting plan will naturally reduce the tenant's land rent expenses, thus allowing some of the tenants to stay.
After all, as long as you are a normal person, if you don’t really see a trace of hope in the local area, who will leave the local area!
In short, with the aristocratic families in Youzhou that received scalpers at the forefront, the aristocratic families in Youzhou quickly accepted Li Tai's plan.
Especially after these top families directly enjoyed the benefits of the "Grass Plan", they took the initiative to come to Wang Xuance and said that they would increase their investment in grass planting plans.
Don’t say that if the oxen can be sold next year, then how many of your own companies can buy as much as you want.
If the oxen cannot be slaughtered, at least we must ensure the stability of plowing next spring and first set the number of oxen you need.
After all, according to the way that King Yan still wants to build Tianjin City, no one knows how many tenants will stay next year.
In the face of the active cooperation of the Youzhou family and Li Tai's prior guidance, Wang Xuance naturally clarified the further development of the supporting facilities of the grass seed plan.
When the ox and herding cattle in my hands are on the scale, my achievements will naturally come.
This kind of down-to-earth feeling with the goal made Wang Xuance quite satisfied.
As for Li Tai, he returned to the land with spring, and began to leave a small part of the corvee service to carry out construction of the road from Yongnu to Tianjin City, and began to carry out large-scale dredging projects on the canals in the entire Youzhou area. It is time to do serious things.
It's right.
One winter, while establishing tents and repairing roads, the corvee workers completed the savings of materials.
However, the most important thing is to get through, not only to get through these corvee laborers’ familiarity with the Gaoling model, but also to cooperate with the common corve laborers in Tianjin.
More importantly, there is the familiarity and running-in process of the initial food coupon and salt coupon during the actual use.
It can be said that it is definitely not a short-term thing for Li Tai to come to Youzhou to make a large number of Youzhou locals accept Gaoling's model. For both sides, it requires continuous adjustment to make both sides more cooperative.
With the adjustment of this winter, when Tianjin's corvee laborers were allowed to work, they naturally discovered that the local corvee labor in Youzhou was quickly integrated into the Tianjin corvee work model.
Now as winter passes, the weather gets warmer, and the ice floes on the canal begin to melt.
With the order of Li Tai, the corvee service in the camps was fully silted and widened under the leadership of Ma Zhou, and even several Ozukou were established where these camps were located.
Convenient to the rapid distribution of goods.
"As a matter of fact, it is still comfortable to command the corvee work under the command of the King of Yan!" Ma Zhou looked at his order, and almost every day the dredging work of the entire canal was advanced rapidly at a speed of thousands of miles a day and couldn't help but sigh.
Ma Zhou said this and couldn't help but turn his head to Li Chunfeng, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"Calculate the camps that the entire canal needs to be established in Youzhou section, so as to promote the project more efficiently, just a trivial matter!"
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "In comparison, the King of Yan disagrees and takes the initiative to provide enough coal, clothes and food to allow these corvee workers to clear snow and build roads in winter, so that they can become familiar with our working model.
Otherwise, even if spring returns to the earth, the repair of this entire canal would not have been so fast."
Ma Zhou nodded to Li Chunfeng,
"It is true that sharpening a knife will not delay chopping wood. Working with the King of Yan will make you feel twice the result with half the effort.
I originally thought that the dredging work in Youzhou would be delayed until June.
But in reality, I am afraid that before April is over, this canal will be cleared out."
"It's better to clean it up early!" Li Chunfeng said,
"Because the Jiangnan Branch did not have enough students to produce, the imperial court felt that it would be fine to drag the Grand Canal.
But for King Yan, he would not waste a moment of time. The most important thing is to complete the dredging work of the entire canal as soon as possible!”
"Yeah! I will pay attention." Ma Zhou narrowed his eyes when he heard Li Chunfeng's words, and asked in thought.
"After completing the Youzhou dredging project, did the King of Yan have any other projects?"
"Yes, he plans to build a road between Jinkou, Tianjin and Tianjin Port." Li Chunfeng said with a serious expression.
"Chidao? Is it the one I understand?" Ma Zhou's eyes widened, and always felt that he was either crazy or Li Tai was crazy!
"It's the Chidao you understand!" Li Chunfeng nodded expressionlessly. To be honest, this thing is really a waste of money.
If Li Tai hadn't forced himself to calculate how to stimulate the prosperity of the entire Tianjin city after building a road between the entire Tianjin Port and Jinkou.
When he heard Li Tai propose this plan, he wanted to slap Li Tai directly in the face to make Li Tai wake up.
After all, things like Chidao are really too expensive!
Because the iron tools of the Qin Dynasty were not qualified, they were laid with wood, and the wood needed to be spent is an astronomical figure.
At the same time, roadbeds are also very important, because not only can be used for thousands of years, but it is always necessary to use them for hundreds of years.
This requires very high requirements for roadbed ramming. In ancient times, it was basically a combination of sleepers and three-combination soil.
The road built in this way is similar to the current train tracks. If you want to say anything different, at most it is the power of livestock in this dynasty, rather than now, electromagnetic force has been used.
It is also a way to prepare for the power of livestock, so when using it, it mainly uses the power of livestock.
Basically, the pace of each section of the road is equal to the rhythm of the horse when it is running, so that the horse will "vibrate itself" once it runs and can hardly stop by itself.
It can be said that the operation of this road is definitely the most harmful to horses. Not to mention how much resources are invested in the early stage, the maintenance of the road in the later stage is probably a trembling number for the entire country.
Because this galloping road uses horses as fuel, to be honest, it is so luxurious that they can drool.
So, after Ma Zhou thought about this thing for a moment, he felt like Li Tai was crazy.
At this moment, Ma Zhou looked at Li Chunfeng strangely and said, "You didn't persuade me?"
"I persuaded me, but the King of Yan pulled me to calculate the cost of communicating with the Jinkou and the port office in Tianjin, especially the benefits brought by the cargo being transported directly from Tianjin through the Grand Canal to the north and south of China. I was convinced by the King of Yan
!”
Li Chunfeng also showed a helpless look and continued, "Not to mention, for this plan, the King of Yan laid the foundation for the grass seed plan to reduce horse costs as much as possible and the fishing plan to increase the production of Tianjin products.
When this road is truly built successfully, if you want to enter the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, you must go to Tianjin City in this circle of the entire Bohai Sea!”
Li Chunfeng said helplessly, "I can convince myself not to do this, but I can't convince myself to calculate the income data that I have calculated several times."
"Okay..." Ma Zhou pressed his temple when he heard Li Chunfeng's words, "That is to say, this matter is profitable?"
"There is a profit!" Li Chunfeng nodded and added, "Even if the railway tracks are made of steel and the roadbeds are made of three-dimensional soil, the number of horses consumed every year may be thousands. As long as the track is built, there will definitely be a profit!"
"What if the Grand Canal is not cleared?" Ma Zhou asked Li Chunfeng again.
"As long as the Grand Canal is cleared to Luoyang, the King of Yan advocates that the road must be built will not be much lost!" Li Chunfeng also answered expressionlessly.
To be honest, when Li Tai pulled himself to calculate a road from Tianjin Jinkou to Tianjin Port, Li Chunfeng also felt that King Yan was crazy.
But looking at the data calculated by himself, Li Chunfeng said that he could doubt his reason, but he would never doubt his mathematics.
Then Mo Da expressed his support for Li Tai's plan in a emotional way.
Ma Zhou understood a little what Li Chunfeng was doing today, so he reminded himself that the entire Grand Canal canal transportation system can be completed quickly.
After all, if Tianjin's speed is slower, it will still have a great impact on Tianjin's overall development speed.
"But the King of Yan was not allowed to relax at all. Even if he arrived at the local area, he would have arranged one project after another."
Ma Zhou shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "This is really the style of King Yan!"
However, Ma Zhou did not worry too much about this matter, and did not even give a positive answer. He just followed Li Chunfeng to have lunch at noon and said that he knew about it.
Because Ma Zhou knew that his next important task was to steadily implement the "Cache Transport System" on the Grand Canal.
After all, the entire project of the Grand Canal is strictly speaking only responsible for the implementation.
If you want to speed up the overall progress, it is not enough to rely solely on your own efforts. Du Ruhui is the person who truly grasps this rhythm.
Du Ruhui came to Youzhou and watched coldly as Li Taima completed the implementation of the entire Grand Canal transport plan at the end of April.
River channel dredging, wharf construction, road maintenance, and even cabbage transport personnel are prepared.
After Li Tai finished all this, Du Ruhui naturally came to visit Li Tai to express his gratitude to Li Tai.
Li Tai solemnly received Du Ruhui's gratitude and did not dare to neglect the slightest.
Du Ruhui and Li Tai exchanged normal greetings, and suddenly said, "King Yan, what kind of Youzhou do you want to build!"
When Li Tai heard Du Ruhui's words, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Just try to develop as much as possible!"
Du Ruhui looked up at the roof, but the thick voice was full of power, saying:
"Did King Yan not have any prospects for Youzhou's future?
If not, aren’t the grass seed plan, fishing plan, and canal transportation plan all your development of Youzhou!”
"..." Li Tai heard Du Ruhui's words and said, "What kind of answer does Du Xiang hope for?"
"I think it is worthy of the investment of King Yan. Youzhou is at least not just a frontier position to fight against Goguryeo!"
Du Ruhui looked directly at Li Tai. Seeing that Li Tai's ears were just a little red, he changed his mind and said:
"I have also watched some days in Youzhou and found that the King of Yan never gives civilians a chance to recuperate.
But the civilians were highly supported by the King of Yan, so they were very curious."
"Maybe because civilians don't need to recuperate, they just need to live better!"
Li Tai looked at Du Ruhui and said with a little sarcastic look,
"Du Xiang has been watching Youzhou for so long. If he can't see through this, it would be a disappointment."
When Du Ruhui heard that Li Tai and it was a bit ridiculous, he was not embarrassed or annoyed. Instead, he said seriously:
"I did look at Youzhou for a long time, but the longer I looked, the more confused I became.
It should have been done whether it is the canal or spring plowing, if you have the existing corvee service and population in Youzhou, you can only do it well in a short period of time.
But under your allocation control, through systems, people's hearts, food, and even tools, these two things are accomplished!
This feeling is like you have created something out of nothing and made up for the lack of human power...
King Yan, can you tell me what did you make out of nothing?"
