Cheng Chumo is impatient and does things in a hurry.
Zhang Yang walked home, the tea eggs were still boiling in the pot and he smelled it carefully, "Should we go and see the hundred acres of land that His Majesty gave us?"
"Aunt Wang said that people from the Ministry of Finance have already measured it, but it's all wasteland." Li Yue's pretty face showed displeasure.
"In fact, the value of land is very high."
"That can't be a wasteland."
"Wasteland is also valuable, but if it is an acre, it will not have such great development value." Zhang Yang handed Li Yue a tea egg.
Li Yue opened the eggshell and ate it one bite at a time.
Li Tai and Cheng Chumo came back again. Seeing their appearance, Zhang Yang shared the tea eggs with them, "It looks like this trip didn't go well."
Taking the tea eggs from Zhang Yang, Li Tai said: "Actually, that Mo Suo didn't complain. Instead, it was the officials who talked to him."
Cheng Chumo took a bite of a tea egg and said, "I beat him for a while and felt sorry for him, so I gave him some money to treat his injuries."
Li Tai said in a low voice: "He did not have any details of the negotiations. He only talked about buying food and weapons. Furthermore, he also said that he wanted to leave an escape route for his family and the Tuyuhun royal family, and would not become an enemy of the Ministry of Rites."
Things were already like this, and Tuyuhun had no choice.
The three of them discussed for a while.
"Where can I buy tea?" Li Tai said unhappily.
"Your Highness, King Wei, doesn't want to make money?"
"How much is tea worth?"
"It will be valuable to me."
Li Tai sat down and leaned against the wall in frustration, "I just made some money and finally have some wealth. You won't let me spend it all."
“Are you keeping this money to store dust?”
Zhang Yang said while peeling tea eggs.
Li Tai sat on the ground with his head lowered, his chubby face aggrieved, "I want to see them a few more times. I have an inseparable expression from them."
"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is wrong about money."
"What's wrong?"
"I'll tell you later, hurry up and buy all the tea in Chang'an City, before the tea is still valuable."
Li Tai walked away in despair.
Cheng Chumo shook his head, sighed and left.
The Prince of Wei's Mansion acted quickly and summoned many tea sellers that afternoon.
Usually tea is not easy to sell, and those who buy tea are mostly literati. Even with low cultural level, tea sales are also very poor.
At this time, everyone heard that there was a villain who wanted to buy all the tea leaves, and a group of tea sellers came.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
Li Tai, who returned to the mansion, was standing at the door of his warehouse, looking at the silver cakes and copper coins affectionately.
"His Royal Highness King Wei, everything has been arranged, and they have brought tea."
Li Tai kicked away the guard who was speaking, "Get out! Let me look at them more."
His little fat man picked up a piece of silver cake with tears in his eyes, "It's all Zhang who forced me to do it."
He smelled the silver cake carefully again.
After a while, Li Tai put down the silver cake in his hand and said, "Okay, take everyone out."
"Here!"
Li Tai turned his back to the servants in the mansion, looked up at the sky and tears finally flowed down uncontrollably. These silver cakes were not yet warm.
A box of money was moved out in exchange for carts of tea, which filled the mansion.
Fortunately, these teas are not expensive, and the mansion can still have some money left over to live on.
Looking at the baskets of green tea leaves with dull eyes, Li Tai sighed: "Send all these things to Princess Runan's fief."
"Here!"
After wiping his tears and sniffing, Li Tai ordered again, "Don't leave even a leaf behind. I'll be upset if I see it."
"Understood."
In Shangshan Village next to Lishan Mountain, Zhang Yang and Li Yue came here with a pot of tea eggs. They cooked so many eggs at home just to feed the villagers here.
Li Tai's people also sent tea leaves as promised, and told the aunts in the village how to fry and select tea leaves, and they learned it immediately.
The men worked to repair the house, while the women fried tea leaves. For a while, the aroma of tea filled the whole village.
Zhang Yang and Niu Chuang looked at the wasteland in front of them.
"This is a place that no one wants. Those officials from the Ministry of Revenue are really nothing. Why do we need to plant such wasteland for us!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Build a commercial street. If it is empty, it will be empty."
Niu Chuang kicked the stone away from his feet and sighed.
To the people in the village, only the land that can be used for farming is valuable, and this kind of land that is dry and has no water source is a wasteland that cannot be irrigated, and the land fertility is not enough.
Zhang Yang thought that he might not be able to communicate the value of the land to the villagers.
Not only growing food, the added output value of land is also very high.
Several little girls in the village were sitting together eating tea eggs, and they all looked at Zhang Yang standing in the distance.
"Is that the consort?"
"The Prince Consort must be very capable, right?"
"It's not like the Erniu from the next village, with one head, two hands and two feet." said a rather sloppy little girl.
"What kind of man can be a prince-in-law? Can a boy in our village also be a prince-in-law?" Another girl had eggshells in her mouth. The eggshells of tea eggs were also delicious.
When the eggshell was gone, he spit it out and took another piece of eggshell.
"The prince consort and the princess will be served by the maid." The girl sitting on the far right is the youngest. Her big eyes are looking at the prince's back.
"You still want to be a maid, are you literate? You're still so thin."
"I will gain weight, but I am a little thin now." She said firmly.
The girl on the side looked at herself and then at her, "You only have skin left on you."
The girl with big eyes also looked at the other person with disdain, "You will be like your mother in the future, with so much meat dangling from your body."
The girls dispersed in a hurry, laughing.
Zhang Yang helped Daniel repair and cut stones, "Is there anything else missing in the village? Is the money still enough?"
"There is still a lot of silver left over from last time, which is enough."
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me. In the future, I will point to this village for retirement, so don't be polite."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Brother Zhang, don't worry, you won't miss the important event of the princess and the consort."
After smoothing a piece of stone, Zhang Yang put it aside.
"Are you married?"
When asked suddenly, Niu Chuang was stunned. He smiled awkwardly, "The village is too poor to find a wife, and no one is willing to marry her."
"When we become rich, we won't be afraid that we won't be able to find a wife."
Niu Chuang nodded when he heard this, "Brother Xiao Zhang is right."
Poverty alleviation cannot be separated from construction. If you want the village to become prosperous again, you must first renovate the village.
Fortunately, I had some start-up capital.
Zhang Yang looked back at Lishan Mountain behind the village, and the future construction of a commercial street and tourist area was sketched in his mind.
In the palace, Li Chunfeng handed over a roll of silk cloth and said, "Your Majesty, this is the experience I gained from being in seclusion these days."
Li Shimin slowly pushed away and looked at the numbers and some notes on the silk cloth, "What do these mean?"
After bowing and saluting, Li Chunfeng replied: "Your Majesty, from the price of crops and the population, we can roughly estimate how much money a state or place needs to support, which can also be helpful for the government's planning."
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Chunfeng. There were dense notes and words written on the cloth. Just reading for a short while made his eyes sore.
Li Chunfeng added: "This is because I saw the fiefdom plan of the Prince Consort and Princess Runan and realized it. According to what Her Royal Highness the Princess said, we can make plans based on the local output value."
"output value?"
Li Shimin took a sip of tea and looked puzzled.
Li Chunfeng explained: "I didn't understand it at first, but after careful consideration, I found that it is not difficult. In short, it is the value generated by a land. The value generated through hard work and farming can be measured in terms of money."
His thoughts were very messy. Li Shimin admired Li Chunfeng for his numeracy skills.
But when it comes to governing the country, Li Shimin is more willing to trust Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other important ministers in the court. Let's not talk about whether Li Chunfeng's method is useful. The value of a place cannot be measured in money.
After all, this was Li Chunfeng's hard work in seclusion for so many days. Li Shimin looked at him and whispered: "I will discuss this strategy with Zhongshu Sheng. Please step back first."
"Pindao, please retire."
It was really strange for a guy who studied numerology to use numerology to govern the country. Li Shimin put the silk aside and ignored it.
It felt quite reassuring to have someone protecting me in the court. Even though the boss Li Xiaogong was unreliable, he was also the spiritual support of the Ministry of Rites.
Back home, the couple had dinner and played chess quietly.
Teaching as you go.
Li Yue saw her chess pieces being killed one by one by her husband, her face unconvinced, "Why can't the elephant cross the river!"
"My appearance cannot cross the river."
Zhang Yang said while playing with the killed chess piece in his hand.
The only pawn that could cross the river was also eaten. Li Yue looked at his chessboard, only one general and one bishop were left.
"This game is not fun. When can badminton be played?"
"I still need to look for materials for badminton rackets."
Li Yue rearranged the chessboard, her face full of grievances, "Come again!"
The couple started another game. When the veteran abuses the newcomer, he usually starts by shaving the newcomer's head.
Another game was over, and Li Yue saw that only one of his generals was left on the chessboard, "Let's try again!"
She kept saying it was not fun, the fighting spirit in her eyes was boiling, and she had a posture of not giving up until she won.
Zhang Yang slowly moved his cannon.
When the two cannons were placed in front of the checkmate, Li Yue wanted to move his chess piece, but found that it was already checkmate.
Li Yue found that no matter what her plans were in the early stage, she would be played by her husband and be applauded.
I feel an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness in my heart.
Slowly she discovered that this game is very strategic, including Zhang Yang's chess rules, this feeling of taking one step and thinking three steps.
In terms of mathematics, Li Yue is very talented, but in terms of strategy, Li Yue is a complete novice.
The night was already deep, and Li Yue was not sleepy at all, "Come again!"
Playing chess was also a very exciting game. It wasn't until both of them couldn't stand the sleepiness anymore that they went back to their rooms to sleep.
After two hours of hasty sleep, I was about to go to court.
Zhang Yang yawned and let Li Yue help him put on his official uniform.
This official uniform is particularly troublesome to wear. Can it be designed to be more humane?
While Li Yue was eating breakfast, she concentrated on reviewing last night's chess game and took a sip of porridge from time to time.
Watching my daughter-in-law step on the stool, put her hands on her knees, sip porridge, and look at the chessboard with a murderous look, what a good study spirit.
It was still dark, and Aunt Wang was holding a rabbit and said, "Your Highness, please kill this rabbit."
Li Yue nodded heavily, "This rabbit has thin skin and tender meat. It's delicious at first glance."
The laughter of the two aunts and daughter-in-law came from the yard.
The innocent and lovely daughter-in-law can be a little scary from time to time, well...she likes to eat rabbits recently.
Zhang Yang walked on the quiet Zhuque Street and went to court as usual.
Because of the fight in Tai Chi Hall yesterday, many people now have some patches on their official uniforms.
The salary provided by the government made everyone's life already very tight, and it seemed to make everyone's situation worse.
The Chengtian Gate opened. Zhang Yang was accustomed to such days and numbly followed the crowd into the Tai Chi Hall.
Then stand in your position, close your eyes, and stay like this until the end of the morning session.
Having suffered from a severe lack of sleep last night, Zhang Yang was very sleepy at the moment. He saluted with the ministers and the morning court officially began.
In this way, until the next court, Zhang Yang walked feebly to the front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
Li Xiaogong remained the same, lying on the table and sleeping.
Zhang Yang looked at Xu Jingzong and saw that this guy was writing something with a pen.
Except for various festivals, other times are free days for the Ministry of Etiquette.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was about to leave, Xu Jingzong asked doubtfully: "Is Minister Zhang going back?"
"Go home and catch up on some sleep."
Xu Jingzong was thoughtful and looked at Zhang Yang's expression. While he was keeping silent, he had already walked out of the government office.
With a long sigh, Xu Jingzong sat down cross-legged and then compared the various expenses of the Ministry of Rites.
Back home, Li Yue played chess with her two aunts.
On the chessboard, the two aunts took turns playing against Li Yue. It was very exciting to fight each other.
He occupied his wife's rocking chair, snuggled up to the sun comfortably, and was about to go to bed.
"Consort, Duke Zhao is here."
Hearing that Changsun Wuji was here, Zhang Yang almost fell off the rocking chair. Damn it, why is Changsun Wuji here?
Li Yue stood up first and said, "I have met Zhao Guogong, please come in."
Changsun Wuji took Lu Zhaolin into this courtyard, which was neat and clean.
I also planted so many flower seedlings in the yard, so elegant.
He was puzzled as to why Changsun Wuji came, so Zhang Yang forced a smile and said, "I wonder if tea eggs are to the Duke of Zhao's liking?"
Changsun Wuji stroked his beard and said, "It's pretty good."
Customer response has been good, which is a good sign.
Let the two of them take their seats and Zhang Yang poured them tea.
Changsun Wuji and Lu Zhaolin were sitting on the short chairs, a little curious, and looked at the chairs a few more times.
Lu Zhaolin picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea and savored it carefully. This is the taste of His Majesty's tea.
Changsun Wuji also took a sip of tea and was silent for a long time. It could be seen from the court that Zhang Yang had the aura of a young man who is not afraid of tigers when he is a newborn calf.
But now judging from the way he treats guests, he is neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. He is very calm and gives people a very natural feeling.
