Chapter 237 Social Change in Structure (Chapter 2)
Li Yi packed up the equipment and said: "Create a cluster industry with Lijiazhuangzi as the center, Zhangjia Village and the migrant worker settlement area integrating tourism, industrial production, agricultural production and other fields."
Li Longji thought hard for a while before catching up with the rhythm.
Just like before, find people to come over to play, and then have a workshop and farm on the side.
"When the weather warms up, the lives of the people in the northern states will be easier." Li Longji thought of new and useful tools.
"It's still a matter of converting production technology into productivity. With so much land and not a large population, how can we not have enough to eat?"
Li Yi seemed to be talking to Li Longji, or to himself.
"What technologies are there?" Li Longji helped Queen Wang sort it out a little and asked when they went out to eat together.
"Breeding technology, cultivate better high-yielding seeds." Li Yi said one.
"Sinong Temple's work." Li Longji said he knew.
"There is no good farming technology now, the only thing is cattle and horses. Breed more and prevent diseases."
Li Yi didn't dare to think about mechanization, but more livestock would still be possible.
"Sinong Temple's work." Li Longji still knew.
"Look for more natural stones to use as fertilizer. Phosphate stone is good. You need to know which kind of land is best for use." Li Yi said one more thing.
"The work of Sinong Temple." Empress Wang helped Li Longji tell it.
"In the south, we should plant rice well, with two crops a year or three crops every two years, and plant other crops in between." Li Yi said about rice.
He doesn't like rice from the south, but if there is too much rice, it will definitely fill his stomach regardless of how it tastes.
Li Longji continued: "Try to let people grow more land, minus the 'tuning'."
"Third brother is right. It is a matter of social division of labor structure. Those who farm farm, those who work, work, and those who fight, fight. Each is responsible for one aspect."
Li Yi mentioned the current shortcomings. Farmers have to do everything and do not have enough time to take care of the fields.
Often the harvest is poor, the rent is mediocre, and the land is sold, and the land is sold and the person runs away.
Thinking about it, Li Yi added: "Many families are short of a season's worth of food. If they pay less food once, their tone will be relieved. If we push one step further, more than 3,000 refugees next to the village will be the result."
Li Longji did not respond this time. He had already made up his mind to levy commercial taxes. If the court had income, he would reduce or reduce rents in each state in turn, leaving half a year's harvest for the people.
In the private room of the dining hall, each went to serve the dishes. The king and queen were assisted by the maids.
"Years ago, my eldest brother took away a batch of drunken crabs. Now that it is the first month of the year, other drunken crabs are also released for sale.
This year I will do another year of farming, and I will choose some villages near the water to cooperate. If nothing big happens and I make more money, those who have paddy fields will naturally learn to raise it in the future.
When the fields produce more, the money from selling them can naturally be used to buy more things and promote business development. "
Li Yi mentioned business again.
Li Longji nodded slightly and agreed.
He collected a lot of management fees from the night market. Once he collected them, he realized how much money Changan made every day.
Compared with management fees, heaven and earth are nothing.
The person being paid is still willing to give, as long as he sells things at night and hands over part of the money, the rest will be enough.
I heard that some shops were afraid that there would be another curfew after the Chinese New Year, so they offered to pay more management fees.
Obviously, collecting money does not hurt the people, otherwise why would the people still ask for it like that?
Li Longji strengthened his confidence from Li Yi. After eating and taking a short rest, he took Queen Wang back. The child was fine.
Then Li Chengqi came and took away jars of drunken crabs, hoping to sell them at a good price during the Chinese New Year.
People were coming and going on the streets of Chang'an City, and many shops were not closed at all.
There is a bamboo basket next to every place that sells grilled oysters. The finished oyster shells are thrown in and someone comes to take them away.
A few days ago, someone who set up a stall collected it himself, and then took it to a drug store to sell, but the drug store didn't accept it at all.
I don’t want a lot of money, just give it for free, just throw it away.
The man selling grilled oysters found that he couldn't keep them because the shells had a strong smell, and he never kept them for himself from then on.
After some inquiring, I found out that the Imperial Medical Office issued an order that all places that practice medicine and sell medicine in Chang'an are not allowed to collect money.
Otherwise, if caught, the license will be revoked and no new medical certificate will be issued.
As for the rogue doctors, they can take whatever they want. How much can they take if they try hard enough? Who eats oyster shells every day?
***
For several days, people visited relatives and friends. People who lived in Chang'an and its surrounding areas were all very happy when they returned to their parents' homes.
When you have money, you can go back with things, and your family is living well. When the married girl goes back, she talks about the situation at home, and everyone compares it.
Xingningfang, Yao Mansion.
"He won't spread the news?" Yao Chong, who was eating drunken crab, asked the person who went to Li Yi to inquire.
He was in a bad mood, even though the crabs were free.
"We finally got in, but the students didn't mention Dui Yun at all." The visitor replied.
"Bring a crab down, remember to eat it clean, and use eight pieces of crab." Yao Chong had no intention of embarrassing the servant.
When the messenger left happily, he looked at the eight pieces of crabs in front of him and sighed: "From now on, crabs are more expensive!"
Yao Chong is like a mirror in his heart. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has eight more gadgets for eating crabs, and eating crabs will feel different in the future.
Moreover, the price of crabs will rise, which is not cheap to begin with.
"He knows how to raise crabs and preserve them for so long. The taste is even better."
Yao Chong muttered and used the needle to pick out the crab's claws.
Other wealthy people in Chang'an City also learned to use tools to eat crabs. They felt that it would be a shame if their servants did not understand eight things.
They didn't know that when the person who took out this set of tools ate a crab, he just put his claws in his mouth, pried open the shell, and directly picked out the yellow and creamy ones with chopsticks.
The two crab claws will be left as snacks, bitten open and scooped out with the small tips of the claws.
While someone was eating, they began to wonder, if there is a paddy field outside the city at home, should they learn to raise crabs?
Pei Yaoqing, who was on vacation, was also eating crabs at home. People at home were eating, but he looked at the crabs that had opened their shells and made no move.
I have seven days off during the Chinese New Year and one day to go to work.
At this time, the affairs in the yamen were managed by other people who were not eligible for vacation, and he was not very relieved.
What worries him even more is that the ice cannot be taken.
The river has thawed and it is dangerous to go up to it. The ice below has melted and cannot be taken out.
After the New Year, people who cut ice can’t all transport coal and shake briquettes, right?
It’s not time to farm, so what kind of work can I find?
Pei Yaoqing has discovered that finding jobs for the people is the greatest political achievement.
Now that people have something to do, their living standards are different from those in previous years.
"Let's go to Zhuangzi tomorrow." Pei Yaoqing couldn't think of anything anymore, so she muttered and began to study how to use eight crab pieces to dismantle crabs.
A bite of crab meat enters the mouth, and the whole person feels refreshed.
