Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 708 Chapter 710
This time Li Shan did what he said, he was honest and dutiful, he went to the Yamen every day, stayed quietly in the Si Nong Temple, slept after eating lunch, and went out of the city to go back to Zhuangzi when he woke up.

People often send invitations, Li Shan basically does not give face to anyone... Except for Cui Xin and Li Keshi, Li Shan does not enter anyone's door.

Offending people is definitely offending people, but nearly two months ago, Li Shan had already visited all the courtiers who had a little relationship, and he didn't care anymore.

It is an exaggeration to say that Li Shan has contacts with most of the great families in the world, and the relationship is also good.

Of course, with the invitation of two people, Li Shan had to go to the banquet. One of them was Qi Wang Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin might have to postpone it later.

It was already the end of November, and Li Shan woke up this day...waking up in the Sinong Temple, and suddenly found that the window was completely white.

"Very big snow."

Li Shan walked to the entrance of the yard, looked up at the falling snowflakes, thought of the venison sent by the Shanglin Department yesterday, hesitated for a while or gave up.

Forget it, let's go back and get it. The barbecue smell is a bit strong, and the Zhongshu Province is next door. If the smell spreads...it will cause Cui Xin to come over with a black face and reprimand him.

"Lang Jun."

Li Shan looked back and saw He Lou Xingshu holding a booklet, "Have you chosen?"

"Yes." He Louxing said with relief, "Twelve places were selected in Tongzhou, Fangzhou, and Longzhou."

Sinongqing was chosen to promote cotton, and Zhutunjian was chosen to farm fields. Li Shan naturally had to make some preparations in advance. He asked He Lou Xingshu to choose a location in Guannei Road and prepare to start trial planting in February and March next year.

"Fangzhou..." Li Shan was the first to rule out Fangzhou. The devil knows what Fangzhou's manager Yang Wengan wants to do, and he can't be involved.

Tongzhou borders on the east side of the river and is close to the Yellow River. Longmen and Fengling are two ferries in Tongzhou. Longzhou is also good. It is close to Longyou Road and has convenient transportation. In fact, cotton is best promoted in Longxi...Longxi Road is probably Gansu in later generations the area.

"Tongzhou and Longzhou, please send someone to ask first." Li Shan ordered, Sinong Temple is qualified to intervene in this kind of matter, but after all, it is related to the locality, and it is impossible to completely bypass the local government.

Walking out of Sinong Temple, on Chengtianmen Street, dozens of guards were sweeping the snow... It was a bit hard, and they swept over in a row. After a short rest, the ground piled up again. Today's snow is really a bit heavy.

Li Shan was a little worried, because of the heavy snowfall the year before last, many houses in the village were crushed at night, and several died. After thinking about it, he said hello, and went straight home with Qu Silang, Wang Junhao and others.

During this period of time, Wang Junhao has been guarding Li Shan's side... The latter was really afraid that Duan Zhixuan would come to make trouble, so he went to ask, Master Li hesitated, Duan Zhixuan let go of the words in Tiance Mansion, so humiliating, It will be reported in the future!
But this time Li Shan was worried in vain. Zhu Wei arranged it very well. After a year, all the houses in the whole Zhuangzi were rebuilt with red bricks. The representative who came with Li Shan this time Although the family members of the guards in Shuozhou and Shuozhou live in a crowded place, they all have places to hide.

The whole Zhuangzi went around, and Li Shan asked about the secret storehouse of Dongshan Temple.

"The armor and ordnance were brought to Daizhou last time, but I returned to Beijing a few months ago and picked the best ones to bring back." Zhu Wei said in a low voice, "I also brought back a lot of bows and crossbows."

Li Shan snorted, the kingdom was established at the beginning, and the military system of the government was implemented. Ordnance, armor, bows and arrows are not allowed among the people, but crossbows are strictly prohibited... Uncle Qi, what are you trying to do?
Zhu Wei looked indifferent, and continued: "Since July, the price of rice in Guanzhong and Hedong has plummeted, and the villagers have been dispatched to various places to buy. Now there are about a thousand stones of grain in stock."

Li Shan calculated in his heart, one stone is about [-] catties, and one thousand stones is about [-] catties of grain. Now the whole village has about [-] households, and there are about [-] people, men, women, old and children together. Let them eat freely... I don't know the extent and duration of the drought in the early years of Zhenguan in history.

But in any case, food storage is always necessary.

"Still no one is willing to grow cotton?"

Zhu Wei smiled wryly and shook his head, "They are all good fertile fields, who would be willing to grow cotton?"

Li Shan smiled and didn't say anything. In name, Sun Moon Lake belongs to him now, and he can grow whatever he wants, but he has never been willing to force others... Everyone is willing to grow food, that's because We all know that food can keep us alive.

After chatting for a long time, Li Shan asked people to go to the city to buy a batch of charcoal and distribute it to each family. Judging by the appearance, the heavy snow might not last for a day or two.

"Let's go from Dongshan Temple." Zhu Wei said with a smile: "The pension before and the house after the year are all from your side."

Li Shan nodded indifferently, no matter whether it is Zhuangzi or Li Zhai, there is no shortage of money now, and Li Shan has been working in Daizhou for a few years, not to mention other things, just the profit of the business route, it is a huge sum... through The accounts submitted by Princess Pingyang are only related to Li Shan's share of Xiashi's profits.

Now the accounts in Zhuangzi are divided into two books, one is for Li Zhai, and the other is for the whole Zhuangzi and Dongshan Temple, which is in charge of Zhu Wei.

When the charcoal was distributed to each household, countless villagers gathered at the gate of Li's house to thank him. Li Shan was used to this, but Zhu's was full of ambition... He really raised a good son!
However, a few members of the Zhu clan mentioned the Gewürztraminer back then to the people who moved here... Lang Jun skillfully made Gewürztraminer, and he was not stingy about it, and used it to solve the plight of the whole village.

Uh, Li Shan blushed a little when he heard this passage... At that time, he was forced to go to Liangshan by his mother, and nodded with his eyes closed and tears in his eyes.

There are also dozens of copper coins presented to Wang Renbiao by his mother... It was almost at that time that Li Kai really started to talk to him.

It has to be said that Li Shan, who has just traveled to this era, is incompatible with this era in terms of three views. Zhu's two decisions made Li Shan truly open the door to integrate into the era.

In fact, even now, Li Shan also feels that money and wealth can mobilize great resources, such as Xia City, such as Shang Dao, but he also truly understands that fame is the hard currency!
When the crowd dispersed, Ling Jing, who was released from the yamen, walked over and winked, Li Shan took the initiative to walk away.

Zhu Shi glanced at him and didn't bother to pay attention. She was getting more and more confused about her son's mind now, but no matter what, she was still her son after all.

Now Mrs. Zhu has to go out basically every day, and she is very busy. Sometimes she goes to Cui’s mansion to exchange feelings with her future daughter-in-law, sometimes she goes to Li’s mansion to taste tea with Changsun’s family, and sometimes she goes to Yanshoufang’s mansion to see how furniture is made. , I also want to go to the Duke Ying's mansion next door to see the Yang family who has a good relationship, and by the way, hug the future queen who is only two or three months old.

Over there Ling Jing asked in a low voice: "How about going to the Qi Palace for a banquet yesterday?"

"What's wrong?" Li Shan was a little surprised, "It's just perfunctory."

Ling Jing walked back and forth a few steps, and said in a low voice: "In the Hall of Liangyi today, King Qi boasted that next year the Turks will invade, please lead the army."

Li Shan opened his mouth wide and scolded, "Thinking about blinding him!"
