Iron Dynasty

Chapter 8: Land problem

   "Your Highness, the soldiers are waiting for this day."

   Lu Fei laughed heartily. Today's King Qi is different from the past, with more closeness to the soldiers.

He is a bold person. In the past, if Xiao Ming didn’t make things difficult, he would not despise Xiao Ming so much. Now he doesn’t know why Xiao Ming’s personality has changed a lot, but this is good news for him. Continue to follow Xiao Ming for a while.

   Li Kaiyuan chewed on a bone, and the special smell of horse meat made him not bear to swallow the meat directly, but chewed it in his mouth.

   With an expression of hope in his eyes, he asked: "His Royal Highness, it is said that this city of Chang'an is very prosperous, can the people eat steamed buns."

   "It's not necessarily that it can be eaten, but life is better than ours." Xiao Ming said in a deep thought.

   In Xiao Ming's opinion, the people at the bottom of the country would not be so wealthy. The land equalization method in the country has long since collapsed, land annexation is serious, many people have been displaced, and thieves have swarmed.

   Da Yu Country is like a late old man, exuding a decadent aura.

Qian Dafu recalled his life in Chang'an, saying, "It's just a wealthy merchant, and there are more noble children. Prosperity is also said to be, at least as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want. Unlike Qingzhou, you can't buy it if you have money. Salt, it was the aster that went to Wei Wang's fief to buy some back."

"Salt?" Xiao Ming suddenly said, how could this horse meat be white water meat. It turned out that there was no salt in the palace. He said, "The east of the fief is the sea. Isn't this the way to boil salt in sea water? Understand?"

"His Royal Highness, it's not that the people don't understand this method of boiling salt, but since ancient times, this salt has always been an official business. It is a capital crime to sell private salt, and your Royal Highness, you didn't take the official salt of this fief seriously, so..." Qian Dafu Said softly.

   Xiao Ming blushed for a while, it turned out that these were all the sins made by Xiao Ming before.

   In the past five years in the fief, this guy didn’t care about the world and didn’t even think about how to build his fief. He was just blindly greedy for pleasure. Many institutions in the fief were not established.

   With a long sigh, Xiao Ming said: "In this case, when Pang Changshi returns, let him prepare for the establishment of this salt transportation department, and set up official salt in Dengzhou and Laizhou."

   "His Royal Highness is wise." Qian Dafu was overjoyed, and Wang Qi is finally opening his mind now.

   The twilight gradually enveloped the city of Qingzhou. Before the sun went down, Lu Fei and Li Kaiyuan took the soldiers back to each other.

   They still need to patrol at night. There is a curfew in the night city of Dayu State, and the city of Qingzhou is the same.

   At this time, the palace was dark, only two or three rooms were lit by candlelight, and the lack of fief material also made the palace not have so many candles extravagant to light up every corner.

  In the side hall of the palace, that is where the servants live. At this time, the servants holding firewood are in and out of the smoke.

   Just after turning the front hall, Luluo suddenly appeared in front of him. The night was dark and dark. If it weren't for her green clothes, he really couldn't tell.

   "His Royal Highness, the hot water is ready. Today, Your Highness has captured the barbarians. He must be tired. Your Royal Highness should take a shower and change clothes early and rest." Lu Luorou said.

   It has been three days since I came to this strange world. Every night is when Xiao Ming hates the most. The night without entertainment is really boring.

  Occasionally, it's just one day, but now it's three days in a row, he really can't stand it now.

   He looked at Luluo, there was nothing he could do. If this goes on, he will probably go crazy and can only tease the two maids.

   The side hall on the side of the sleeping hall was Xiao Ming's special bathing place. He followed Luluo back. A large wooden bucket of hot water had been prepared, and Aster was standing by the Mutong waiting for Xiao Ming.

   After three days of life that is not as good as hanging silk, Xiao Ming is finally a little bit psychologically comforted, at least the prince is still served by a maid, which makes so many single dogs roll around with envy.

   "Your Majesty, the servant will undress you." Aster and Luluo stepped forward.

   Xiao Ming straightened his body and stretched out his arms. He didn't take a bath every day. In this wicked ancient time, taking a bath was also quite a luxury.

  Fetching water from the well and boiling it would require many servants to be busy. In his palace, there are only ten people who are rich and rich.

   These ten people are responsible for all the sanitation, food, and chores in the palace.

   Moreover, the area of ​​his palace is not small. It is 200 meters long from north to south and east to west. In Qingzhou city, the palace of Qi is the only luxurious building.

   Squinting his eyes, Xiao Ming enjoyed the personal service of Lulu and Aster. For the first time since the journey, he felt it was worth it.

   Luluo and Zixuan blushed. They had only served Zhenfei before. They had never seen a man's body before, and they felt ashamed, scared, and curious.

   But they knew in their hearts that since the concubine Zhen gave them to King Qi, they have already belonged to King Qi, and they can only suppress the shyness in their hearts.

   "Do you want to wash together?" Xiao Ming smiled evilly.

   Luluo lowered her head, she didn't dare to speak, Zixuan said crisply: "Your Highness, don't worry, Niang Niang has ordered. When your Highness gets married in the future, Luluo and I will be your Highness sooner or later."

  Xiao Ming is just teasing them to find some fun in their boring life. UU reading www. uukahnshu.com

   was sitting in the hot tub, and his eyes looked at the aster. This aster was more courageous than the green aster. The explanation in the letter of the concubine Zhen seemed to be such.

   "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Xiao Ming said while taking a bath, he is not a worm, he knows what the point is now.

   After a pause, he asked Aster, "Aster, this king asks you, if you want to make this king's fief rich, what is the most important thing right now?"

   Aster was very surprised that King Qi would ask her this question, and instinctively replied: "Aster is a woman, how can he understand these things."

   "This king orders you to answer." Xiao Ming frowned. At this time, he was still following the virtue of a woman without talent. Aster's answer was not what he expected.

   was taken aback, and Aster was afraid that King Qi would again commit his old surly temper, and said, "The land."

   Xiao Ming nodded, the rich family sits big, the threat of the northern barbarians, and the intrigue of the princes, it seems that there is not much time left for him to develop.

   He has been thinking about it these days. The first thing is to solve the land problem.

   In ancient times, any dynasty had a strange phenomenon, that is, the people will always be surplus than the land, and once a large-scale land annexation occurs, it basically heralds the end of this dynasty.

   At present, his fief is also the same. Large areas of high-quality land are monopolized by local prominent families, and many people have no land to cultivate. Now he has to solve this problem first.

   At the same time, the second problem he wants to solve is the inheritance of knowledge. He guards a science and technology library and does not use it. This is simply a violent thing.
