Chapter 668: Buying Land in Units of 10,000 Mu

The Qinling Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and the plains and valleys nurture the people of the court. It is difficult to plant many officials in the mountains, and they want to buy more land to make farms.

"It's too early, they will still be in chaos for a while. When the Turkic tribes surrender one after another, the Tang Dynasty can free up manpower to face Tubo."

Li Chengqi took a sip of the cold noodle soup with ice stubble and said with a refreshed expression.

Li Yi smacked his lips and drank a sip of the cold noodle soup.

"Thanks to the preparation of a lot of ice last year, otherwise we would have to use saltpeter to make ice. The amount is too much. The higher the water temperature, the more saltpeter is used."

Li Yi sighed. Last year, a series of ice cellars were dug and ice was frozen with well water, which could be eaten directly.

The ice in the river is not so clean, but the people of the Tang Dynasty also eat it, and they drink the river water directly.

Li Chengqi has seen saltpeter making ice, with a large basin inside a small basin.

The saltpeter used to make ice can be changed back.

Now a small part of the saltpeter in the Tang Dynasty is supplied to the pharmacy, and the rest must be sent to Li's manor to make gunpowder.

Another type of Glauber's salt cannot be used to make ice. It is used to make watermelon frost with watermelon or to be used with other medicines.

"Brother Yi, buy a piece of land this year to store ice. It doesn't matter how good the land is. A cave will do."

Li Chengqi wanted to increase the storage of ice and sell it.

Now someone is selling ice water, which is very expensive.

The ice in Liulizhuang was given to officials more than before.

The ice stored in the palace was also used a lot, even ordinary palace maids and eunuchs used it.

The ice in Lijiazhuang can be used by just looking at the cold noodles with ice stubble that can be eaten casually.

The ice stored in the Huangzhuang managed by Wang Xing above was also sent to the palace.

The large number of ice cellars in Zhangjia Village serve tourists, and no more ice can be taken out.

It is absolutely impossible to not give ice to giant pandas.

Li Yi frowned and thought about the amount of work: "The Lishan behind is good, and there are hot springs. It would be great if Wang Xing could manage it together."

The place Li Yi was talking about was the royal garden connected to the Huangzhuang above, but it was not under Wang Xing's management.

"Yes, ice can be stored there." Li Chengqi agreed.

"Speaking of places, there are a lot of uninhabited mountains in Huazhou and Tongzhou, and I want to buy them."

Li Yi stopped eating and went to get a map.

He spread the map on the table and pointed out several areas that could be connected.

Li Chengqi looked at it and said, "People in the two states farm in the fan-shaped areas washed out by the tableland and the canyon. It's too difficult on the mountains."

"Build terraces. Now is not the time to protect the natural scenery. I will build many terraces there." Li Yi said his plan.

"The areas you marked out add up to hundreds of thousands of acres. Do you want to send the captives of the Southwest Barbarians to build terraces?"

Li Chengqi looked at the area and planned to calculate that it was more than 300,000 acres, or even larger.

"Buy it first, and think about the people slowly. There's no rush." ​​Li Yi put away the map and continued to eat.

"Okay, I'll ask for you. It's official land there, and the price is not high." Li Chengqi was ready to help get a good price.

The mountain is useless there, so it can't be too expensive.

"After the terraces are built, I can still pay rent. I don't enjoy the policy benefits of several periods of exemption for the land I opened myself. As long as I grow food, it's called rent."

Li Yi said a better price. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land were converted into terraces, and a lot of food could be grown.

The most suitable crop for terraces is rice. If Champa rice is cultivated in Jiangnan Road, it can be put on the terraces next year and harvested twice a year.

Li Chengqi shook his head and slurped his noodles.

Terraces are not easy to grow. It's hard to turn the soil, it's troublesome to use water, and people have to go up and down.

After lunch, Li Chengqi left with a method of building a bathhouse at a low price and Li Yi's purchase of such a large piece of land.

He threw the issue of buying land to Bi Gou and told Bi Gou that the terraces would pay rent.

A group of people will be responsible for discussing the establishment of bathhouses with each block, and each block will choose two places.

The government, temples and temples cooperate, and the other party's people can take baths for free and are allowed to take baths every day.

In summer, it is easy for people to take baths, and it is most convenient to go to the river to swim.

Others use well water to wash at home, which is cool and saves money.

Sprinklers and spray trucks were running back and forth on the streets.

The people who cleaned the streets in the two cities were the busiest, and they were required to clean up every half an hour.

No dirty water or dirty things were allowed to prevent people from getting sick.

The meat sellers covered the entire counter with a gauze net, and did not allow the cut meat to be hung for flies to bite.

The people who repaired the water net wore a bamboo hat on their heads, and dug and dug with bare arms. After working for a while, they were urged by the supervisor to come up and drink water.

On the way from other places to Chang'an, there was a shed sent by the government to provide water at every distance.

The people on the road went into a shed when they met one, sat down to chat, rest, and mainly drink water.

"Your Majesty used the money from the auction of the things in the right collection to provide water for everyone."

The temporary hired clerk said something important.

Who will drink the water? It must be emphasized whether His Majesty paid for it or sold the money from the right collection.

Li Longji listened to Li Yi's idea and auctioned the unused tribute and said where it was provided.

It helped the local area advertise and raise funds to do things.

The people were indeed moved. Every year, people died of heatstroke on the road. The water in their water bags was not enough to quench their thirst, so they had to ask for water when they came across a village.

This year, there were sheds everywhere in Jingzhao Prefecture, and the drinking water contained salt and mung beans.

In places where there was no mung bean water, tea was given, and a little salt was also added to the tea.

In the imperial city, Bi Gou handed two documents to his men: "Send them to Huazhou Prefecture and Tongzhou Prefecture."

After arranging his men, he turned around and went to the political hall. Something big had happened.

The document stated that the land was to be cleared by the two governments, but it did not say that it would be sold.

To sell or not to sell, Bi Gou alone cannot decide.

A spray truck came from the side spraying water mist. Bi Gou looked up at the rainbow and shook his head.

"It's still a drought, and people are using well water to irrigate their fields, waiting for the water network to be built. So far this year, there have been no reports of fatal heat incidents in Jingzhao Prefecture."

Bi Gou muttered to himself, and stretched out his hand to catch some water mist, feeling much cooler.

When he arrived at the political hall, he directly said to the three prime ministers who came out of their respective offices: "Li Yi wants to buy nearly 400,000 acres of land.

I bought mountains in Huazhou and Tongzhou, saying that I wanted to build terraces. I have sent the two states the writings of the Qingzhang area. "

The three of them were all stunned. Four hundred thousand acres of land in another state?

"Li Yi can afford it." Lu Huaishen considered it from the financial aspect.

"He bought all that land and built terraces. Does he not know how to build terraces?"

Zhang said he began to suspect that Li Yi didn't understand farming. UU Reading www.uｕkanshu.netｔ

Anyone who knows how to do it can’t grow terraced fields. Planting one acre of terraced fields is more tiring than planting three acres on the plains.

The key is that the yield is not as good as that of good fields in the plains, so it is not a thankless thing to suffer.

"The two states are not far from Chang'an and are relatively easy to manage." Yao Chong elaborated on his views from the perspective of management.

"Sell it to him?" Bi Gou heard that Yao Chong meant to sell it.

"It doesn't matter whether you sell it to him or not. Just give him a low price. You can't always let him suffer."

Yao Chong has no other thoughts at all, His Majesty will ask for sale.

"Xiao Yi said that as long as the grain is grown, the rent will be paid that year." Bi Gou had no idea about the price, but he did about the rent.

The rent is food, and the food is stored in the warehouse. He is confident.
