Chapter 21 Production Team

Snowflakes like cotton wool were still falling.

Pang Yukun walked all the way, and his body was covered with a layer of white. When he reached Xiao Ming, he bowed and said, "Your Highness."

"No gift, Pang Changshi came over to bake the coal ball oven, which is also warm and soothing."

Pang Yukun was wearing thin clothes, and his face was a little purple from the cold. Dayu Country is no better than modern times. Every family has padded jackets and down jackets. Here, padded jackets are luxury goods, at least Pang Yukun can't afford to wear them.

Trembling because of the cold, Pang Yukun said, "Your Highness, there is a difference between the superior and the inferior, the lower official should stand."

Xiao Ming has already learned about Pang Yukun's rigid character this month. Every time he behaves out of the way, Pang Yukun will scold him righteously, without caring that he is the dignified King of Qi.

As for why Pang Yukun was like this, Xiao Ming also generally understood after asking Aster and Luluo.

There is no other reason, because when Pang Yukun was in Chang'an, he was the official.

Specifically speaking, they do nothing with their salary, and stare at other officials all day long to find the wrong people. These officials are of very low rank, but they range from the ninth-rank sesame officials to the first-rank officials of the dynasty, and even the emperor. None of these people dared to scold.

The reason for this is that there is an unwritten rule in all dynasties and dynasties, that is, not to kill officials.

Over time, anyone who kills a speech official has been scolded as a scumbag.

With this level of moral restraint, even if the emperor doesn't like speaking officials, he has to endure it.

And Pang Yukun was sent here by Xiao Wenxuan. It was like killing two birds with one stone. One could keep an eye on Xiao Ming to prevent Xiao Ming from acting out of control. One was that Changan lacked someone who bothered him.

"Pang Changshi doesn't have to be restrained. You and I are in Qingzhou together. According to the father's wishes, I am afraid that neither of you nor I will be able to return to Chang'an. In this case, we should help each other a lot." Xiao Ming's eyes flashed. Cleaned up, began to sow discord.

Pang Yukun's expression moved slightly. His parents were both in Chang'an. Like Xiao Ming, he had only returned to Chang'an once in five years.

And the chance of the emperor letting him go back to Chang'an is slim.

Pang Yukun has an upright personality, but he is not a fool, but he understands that Xiao Wenxuan sent him to Qingzhou because he was angry with him.

"His Royal Highness is the King of Qi, and I am the long history of Qingzhou. It is the duty of a low-ranking official to assist His Highness. As long as His Highness is diligent in government and loves the people, and does not do anything eccentric, I will naturally not sue His Highness to the Emperor." Pang Yukun looked serious. .

Elm knots! Xiao Ming scolded secretly that it would be impossible to take Pang Yukun as a private minister in a short period of time, because Pang Yukun had the Great Yu Kingdom in his heart.

Xiao Ming is working so hard now, but in the end it is for his own fief. As for the Great Yu Kingdom, he doesn't have much affection, and the person sitting on the throne has nothing to do with him.

"Pang Changshi's remarks are reasonable, he realizes that the past is not admonished, and he knows that those who come here can be followed. In fact, it is not far from the lost road, and I feel that the present is not the past. This king was ignorant and ignorant in the past, and I have offended you. Please bear with me. Today, Pang Changshi came here despite the heavy snow, but it was actually for farming." Xiao Ming reclined on the chair, the warmth of the stove brought a hint of laziness in his voice.

Pang Yukun said: "Ever since His Highness gave the order to reclaim the farmland, the people of all the prefectures cheered and cheered. In just one month, the number of acres of fields reported by the state officials has reached more than 300,000 acres, and it has been registered and recorded in the name of the person who reclaimed the land. Down."

"Thirty acres?"

Xiao Ming measured it. According to the household registration statistics of Qingzhou, his fiefs had a total of 1 million households in the six prefectures. According to the minimum number of people in a family of three, it is 3 million people. If it is based on five people, it is 500 people. Ten thousand people, and he believes that the number of five million is more accurate, because the mortality rate in this era is very high, and there are generally three or four children in the family of the common people.

The population of 5 million in the Great Yu Country is not much, but it is not much. Because of the unification, the population of the Great Yu Country has grown greatly in a stable environment.

In Xiao Ming's view, it is almost on par with the Song Dynasty.

It seems that Xiao Ming is not very satisfied with this number, Pang Yukun added: "This is also something that can't be done. Some wealthy families have cattle, so they can farm more, while poor families lack tools, so naturally it will be slower. "

Xiao Ming nodded, "This time I came to you for this reason. This king intends to set up production teams in various prefectures, counties and villages."

"Production team?" Pang Yukun showed a puzzled look. He had never heard of this term before, and Xiao Ming's words just now, don't be indifferent to the past, he felt a little surprised that it was true today and not yesterday.

Because Xiao Ming in the past couldn't say such elegant words.

Xiao Ming waved to Pang Yukun, "I'm afraid this will take a long time to talk about, so Pang Changshi should sit down and talk slowly."

At this time, Luluo ran over from the snow carrying her skirt, trotted all the way into Xiao Ming's bedroom, took out a chair and placed it by the fireplace.

Smiling at Xiao Ming, Luluo rubbed her red face, and ran to play with Ziwan again.

Pang Yukun felt that his feet were about to freeze and numb. Xiao Ming's words "for a long time" made him unable to hold it any longer.

He had to walk unnaturally to the coal ball stove in front of Xiao Ming and sit down.

As if to hide the embarrassment, Pang Yukun said, "This is the coal pellet stove invented by His Royal Highness. It is indeed a good thing to keep warm in the house this winter. I heard that since the winter, the business of the Qin family's coal pellet stove has been very hot. "

"That's natural. This coal ball stove is convenient and practical, especially in the cold winter. It's like sending charcoal in the snow. But if the Qin family makes money, it means that our equipment company has made money. Now the equipment company has hundreds of taels of silver in the account every day." Xiao Ming looked excited, but the heavy snow really helped him.

Pang Yukun was slightly surprised that the equipment company, which was a big money-consuming company, had become a big moneymaker, but what he could not have imagined was that the real money-making business was the briquettes business, and Xiao Ming also took 30% of the profits from the Wang family.

"Since this is the case, I hope Your Highness can make good use of this silver tael, and don't use it for that romantic affair."

Pang Yukun's old problem was committed again, Xiao Ming was stunned, and smiled helplessly, this Pang Yukun really did not leave his line in three words.

He said, "Don't worry about Pang Changshi, I didn't use the silver taels indiscriminately. Instead, I asked Chen Wenlong to purchase a batch of cattle from Uncle Wei's fief and forged a batch of farm tools."

"Oh?" Pang Yukun was really surprised.

Xiao Ming continued: "The production team I mentioned just now has something to do with these materials. Because of the inequality between the rich and the poor, the fields cultivated by the people are also different. Now we divide the people into production teams, and each production team is divided into production teams. Select a captain, the government will provide cattle and farming tools, the production team will be responsible for management, and the people of the entire production team will use it together, which will greatly accelerate the reclamation of wasteland and future planting..."
