"In addition to these basic projects being planned, the next step is to attract people to flow to our Gaoling!"
Li Tai stretched out his hand and pointed to the map of the area where Gaoling was located and said:
"We have established an agricultural institution. In addition to the students of the agricultural institution that provide a large amount of labor, they themselves also attract people who yearn for knowledge to migrate to Gaoling.
This leads to the second point, to establish supporting facilities that allow them to stay.
In addition to houses mainly based on the kang system and chickens and ducks cultivated from poultry places that can ensure they have enough meat and duck down jackets to survive the winter, it is more important to be the big peacock shop!
The big shop built by Peacock aims to buy anything that can be bought in Chang'an City.
We do not seek exquisite things, but complete things, so as to improve the infrastructure of Gaoling urban area so that people who come here can live.
This leads to the third point, that is, Gaoling’s regional advantage is located in the center of Guanzhong.
In fact, this place is more suitable to become the entire Guanzhong hub than Chang'an, connecting the entire Guanzhong material transportation!"
Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou touched his chin, took a sip of wine, and said,
"The king didn't think that we had something that we could buy in Chang'an, but that we could only use it in Chang'an!"
When Ma Zhou heard Li Tai's plan, his development of Gao Ling suddenly became clear at this moment.
"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded,
"First of all, we need to build a road that can lead directly to Chang'an, which can pass side by side with eight carriages.
Because Gaoling is positioned with a transportation hub, the road that intersects with Chang'an will become the top priority."
"The money spent this is probably quite a bit!"
Ma Zhou frowned when he heard Li Tai's words,
"Where do you come from the money and food?"
No matter what you do, money and food are the first priority. Planning without money and food is just a castle in the air.
Li Tai answered immediately:
"In terms of cost, the Gaoling area has been washed by the Jing River and Wei River for many years. It is naturally rich in clay, sand and gravel. These are natural resources for paving roads, and can be used directly on site to minimize costs.
Then the teams that are preparing to serve labor service also need to be tempered, so use this path to practice to reduce labor costs.
In addition, we can also encourage the people who benefit this road, so as to benefit the people on the entire road.
For example, as long as the people are willing to come to move bricks, shovel soil, and bury sand, I will be willing to give them food.
People have not had a few good days in recent years, especially last year it was drought and locust plague.
It has rained a few days since this year, so I don’t believe that ordinary people can really look down on this bowl of rice.
So the cost of building this road this year will not be too high, at least it will not be too high if you give enough food!"
"This is a way!" Ma Zhou nodded in agreement when he heard Li Tai's words.
Although the winter wheat has been harvested this year, the food prices have not yet dropped.
For ordinary people, taking out food and letting them work can at least save money on a meal.
"But when it comes to this grain, the wheat has been harvested this year. Do you have to return the grain from Sinong Temple?" Ma Zhou thought of something and said to Li Tai.
"I have to pay it back, of course I have to pay it back!"
Li Tai said decisively, "You prepare one-tenth of physical wheat, and the rest use Kaiyuan Tongbao and cloth. It is best to have a floor higher than the market price. You will go tomorrow...
No, I will go to Sinong Temple in person tomorrow!”
"We have enough food? Don't we pay back the food directly?" Ma Zhou asked when he heard Li Tai's words, "Whether we hire the people and pay with Kaiyuan Tongbao, isn't it the same?"
"It hasn't rained for more than 40 days, although the acres we have reclaimed are not short of water because they rely on the Wei River and Jing River.
However, the vast majority of ordinary people's land is mainly mountain fields, and it will be very troublesome if there is no water continuously.
So we should store more food. As for things like money, it is money!" Li Tai said.
"You mean that last year's drought will come again this year!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou's face changed.
"I don't know!" Li Tai shook his head, "but if you have food in your hand, you won't feel panic!"
Li Tai knew very well that although he had seen his duck farm slowly transforming into a poultry farm, in fact, if there was no feed supply, the duck farm would be immediately beaten back to its prototype.
After all, food is the foundation of society.
Li Tai is from modern times and knows clearly that the prerequisite for all the industrialization needs to be large-scale, that agriculture has reached a certain level, has a certain number of full-time population, and finally relies on industrialization to feed back agriculture.
If the agricultural level does not meet a certain standard, it is simple to make some luxury goods that can get rich overnight.
But if you want to truly build a complete industrial chain, as long as you increase the scale, you will find that agriculture and energy will restrict you in all aspects.
If you expand the scale willfully, it will even trigger a counterattack from the entire feudal society.
The most typical one is luxury goods such as perfume. Even if you make this kind of thing as a luxury goods, the upper limit is too obvious and it is very difficult to form other value systems derived.
Even if modern civilization is already quite developed, the global output value of the perfume industry before the epidemic was only 20 billion euros, but the total output value of the grain industry alone exceeded 3 trillion yuan.
More importantly, the grain industry can derive new industrial systems according to needs, such as the winemaking industry, and cash crops.
So in Li Tai's opinion, for time travelers who want to be at ease with a small fortune, it is normal to make some luxury goods and make some money.
But if you really want to change the entire feudal society, there are only two ways to start:
One is energy and the other is food.
In terms of energy, Li Tai really can't help them complete energy industrialization.
This requires the ability to build an industrialized system from scratch. More importantly, it is not only necessary for him to understand, but also for successors to understand how to build these from scratch.
What systems and plug-ins? Simply put, if you can't let your successors create such a complete system from scratch, then after you die, these things will return to dust and soil at a speed visible to the naked eye.
.
At most, a little legend will be left in the future, either becoming a totem that is worshipped or a story in mythology.
But Li Tai has a road that is not accessible, and Li Tai wants to take the path of agricultural industrialization.
Because China was absolutely sufficient to accumulate agricultural foundations, Li Tai wanted to integrate the agricultural power of the Tang Dynasty.
Farming technology is almost engraved into the Chinese genes, so the Tang Dynasty did not lack some top-notch planting technology, but a farming system that is constantly being studied.
This allows China to provide agricultural results stably, thus allowing more people who can be out of stock in this society, allowing more people to no longer be bound by the land, and to engage in other things, so as to successfully complete the transformation from agriculturalization to industrialization.
Ma Zhou nodded, "Then I will organize this team responsible for corvee as soon as possible."
Li Tai said: "When this twenty or thirty miles long road connected to Chang'an is built, even if the location connection between us and Chang'an is strengthened, it will naturally come to the next step, strengthening the connection between the entire Guanzhong!
At this point, I think we need to build a port in Gaoling District and build a ship that specializes in the dual-purpose use of waterways.
Otherwise, the shipping in the entire Weihe River area will definitely be restricted."
"Can the boat still walk on the road?!" Ma Zhou couldn't help but say when he heard Li Tai's words.
"I don't know!" Li Tai shrugged,
"Otherwise, the two rivers in Jingwei will fall down smoothly, but if they want them to go upstream, the small boats will be fine, but whenever those big boats arrive at the dry season, I will mostly see horses and manpower dragging the boats upstream.
In this way, the cost of ships is high, and even if we build a port, we will not attract people."
"Okay..." Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou smiled bitterly, "I'll go and ask Chu Ke to see if he can figure this out."
"In fact, we can combine things like keels, tubes, etc. with ships to see if we can borrow force from the water flow or from the wind. I believe that we can solve one difficulty after another in the end!"
Li Tai encouraged Ma Zhou.
"It's better to build the wharf and the shipyard first. Whether it can be studied depends on Chu Ke!" Ma Zhou said.
Li Tai nodded and said, "In short, when we build Gaoling County, we are taking the agricultural institution as the fundamental point, improving the supporting infrastructure of the entire Gaoling, and finally finding ways to open up the connection between Gaoling and the entire Guanzhong region, making Gaoling a hub for the entire Guanzhong!
Even if this is a comprehensive plan for Gaoling area, if you have anything to change in your actual work, you can modify it according to local conditions.
After all, I just need to plan, and you need to implement the specific operation!"
"Don't worry, the king has already planned this matter clearly. Let's look at me next!" Ma Zhou said confidently.
Li Tai was relieved when he heard Ma Zhou say this. The two continued to discuss details in detail, but by this time it was basically Ma Zhou who was talking, and Li Tai was nodding.
The two of them kept discussing until the rooster crowed, and Ma Zhou went to bed with red eyes.
Li Tai opened his eyes and saw that Bai He was preparing to clean himself. Li Tai said,
"Bai He, did the minutes of the meeting I discussed with Binwang yesterday record?"
"There have been recorded in detail, but the king wants to see it?" Bai He answered while helping Li Tai take care of his hair.
"You copied two copies of this today and saved this original copy to my study.
The other two, one was sent to Binwang, and the other was placed in the county government office in Gaoling County, so that I could remember this thing all the time."
Hearing Li Tai's words, Bai He replied, "I will handle this matter properly today."
"In addition, when Binwang prepares the property that needs to be repaid from Sinong Temple, prepare the car for me, and I'll go and make up for my sleep first!"
Li Tai said it and yawned. To be honest, this kind of candle-holding conversation is too harmful to the body.
Bai He said calmly:
"The Ma Mansion Officer had handled this matter early in the morning, and I had already prepared the ox cart.
If the king wants to go to Sinong Temple, it is OK at any time!”
"It's necessary to roll it like this..." Li Tai muttered, "Okay, I'll sleep in the car, let's go now!"
At this time, Ma Zhou came to the Agricultural Academy and recruited the heads of the other six departments and said:
"The King of Yue was named Gaoling County Magistrate, and I held the position of Gaoling County Magistrate until the King of Yue entrusted him to temporarily act as Gaoling County Magistrate.
Therefore, some teachers and students will be recruited to temporarily act as officials in Gaoling County so that the administrative work in Gaoling County can operate normally."
"Oh?!" Hearing this, Lu Cai immediately became energetic and looked at Ma Zhou with great desire.
Ma Zhou looked at the firm eyes of Lu Cai, and naturally nodded silently at Lu Cai and said:
"Yan Wenxue, Lu Cai, and Liu Shenwei, you are responsible for continuing to preside over the normal work of the school and keeping the school working normally.
Chunfeng, Mr. Du, you two will follow me and transfer ten other scientists to assist in handling a number of chores in Gaoling County.”
"Am I?" Li Chunfeng was a little stunned when he heard that he had a share.
However, Du Chuke was not panicked at all, and he clasped his fists and said to Ma Zhou, "Thank you, Chuke."
"Hey hey hey!" Lu Cai looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Zhou, have we had a relationship with the wine together?"
"Cough cough!" Ma Zhou coughed a few times and said, "I will not be in the institution in the future, so you will be responsible for taking care of it more.
King Yue has delivered the entire agricultural and agricultural institution to you. Isn’t it enough to show how King Yue attaches importance to you?!”
Lu Cai was helpless when he heard Ma Zhou's words. After all, he really wanted to be an official.
Even if you are from the ninth rank, you don’t care. Although the Agricultural Academy was handled by King Yue, this Academy is not an official after all!
It's like modern times, who doesn't want to be in the organization?
Ma Zhou said, "Of course, there is something else to hand over to you. If you do it well, don't say it. At least you will have no problem becoming a doctor in Gaoling County!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" When Lu Cai heard Ma Zhou's words, his attention was immediately attracted.
Although the doctoral degree is not of grade, it is considered formally established, and the professorship status is quite high, and even if it is really done well, he might be attracted by Li Shimin and entered Chongwenguan. After all, this place is close to Chang'an!
"Editing the identity of the people in the entire Gaoling County requires accurate people and their household registration, occupation, property, etc." Ma Zhou said, "As for the personnel, choose from non-local students in the Agricultural College. How to do it depends on how to do it
You are here!"
"Okay, let me leave this matter!" When Lu Cai heard this, he gritted his teeth and agreed directly.
When Du Chuke heard Ma Zhou's words, he looked at Ma Zhou deeply. As he aimed at Du Ruhui, he knew clearly that this matter was definitely a big pit.
Because if the population of Gaoling County can be cleared out, to a certain extent, it can also clear out the population of the entire world.
However, the specific population will become more difficult to check as the scale of the inventory grows.
"We will work together to build Gaoling County. For those who want to work in politics, this is the best famous sect for everyone in the future!"
Ma Zhou looked around for a while and his eyes fell on Du Chuke and said, "Mr. Du, Chunfeng, let's talk about the details next!"
As Ma Zhou began to recruit people from the Agricultural Academy, Li Tai also came to Sinong Temple to return the grain he borrowed!
"Ha, it's here."
Li Tai yawned in the carriage and saw the sign of Sinong Temple.
