Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 702 Population loss big problem

Li You's Dengzhou City is located in Penglai County. The population of the entire Dengzhou is about 1. In addition to the more than 6 people Li You brought this time, there are only more than [-] people. The most helpless thing is Li You now. Lost all sources of income, perfume, soap, and all other businesses established by Li You, all of which were cut off by Li Shimin. Now it is Li Zhi's in name, but all the money earned is sent to the palace. For Li Shimin's squandering.

But Dengzhou is very poor, and the people in Dengzhou have almost no profitable livelihood, they just rely on farming or fishing.

But you have to know that fishermen in ancient times were very bitter. Cao Cao's son once wrote a poem, "Liang Fu Xing".

There are different qi in all directions, and there are wind and rain in thousands of miles.Drama Zai Bian Haimin lives in a cottage.The wife is like a beast, and her movements are hindered by the forest.Chaimen He Depression, Fox Rabbit Flying My Universe
The first sentence says that the climates in the eight directions are different, and the wind and rain patterns are different within a thousand miles.The implication is that the seaside climate is humid, there are frequent storms, tsunamis and tornadoes also occur from time to time, this kind of environment is not suitable for people to live here.

The second sentence says how hard the fishermen by the sea are, and the dilapidated thatched huts are their shelter.Directly write about the desolation and misery of the fishermen's living environment.

The third sentence says that the wife and son live like beasts, moving about in the wild forest by the sea every day.From this sentence, we can not only see the vulgar and difficult lifestyle of fishermen who are disheveled and savage, but also imagine their dull and decadent image of isolation from the world.

The fourth sentence says that the simple chaimen is so deserted, and foxes and rabbits shuttle freely around without any scruples.By describing the scene of foxes and rabbits running around, this sentence reflects the barbarity of the living environment of the people in Bianhai and the fear and misery of the people in Bianhai.

Some people will say that it is not so exaggerated. People who live by the sea should be better than people in the inland. At least they can eat as much seafood as they want.

If you want to get something, you have to go to the far sea, but the ancient fishing technology is also backward, and it is impossible to catch as much as it is now.In ancient times, there was no weather forecast, and the boats were small and slow, so fishing in the sea was very risky.

There is a saying that it is better to go up the mountain to fight tigers than to go fishing in the sea. Clouds float in the sea and sky, and fish hide in the water. In the morning sun, fishing nets are cast, and the sea breeze blows head-on.The tide rises, the waves surge, and the fishermen are poor forever!The broken fishing net left by grandpa, be careful to rely on it to survive the winter

This is actually a true portrayal of ancient fishermen.

The people of Dengzhou are suffering, and the government of Dengzhou is also suffering. The government of Dengzhou is suffering, and the people of Dengzhou are suffering even more. So what Li You has to do now is to prepare a way for Dengzhou to make a living as soon as possible.

This road must not be realized by itself. After all, Dengzhou has no land, no resources, and no manpower. So what method will Li You use to turn the tide of Dengzhou? Please wait and see.

Yin Cheng smiled and led Li You and his party into Dengzhou City. You must know that Yin Hongzhi and Yin Cheng had not been idle when they came to Dengzhou City in advance, in order to welcome Li You's future troops.

At this time, many houses have been built in Dengzhou City. Although these houses are only thatched huts, they are naturally incomparable with Chang'an City, but it is better not to sleep on the streets. Five or six times more, I felt a little thriving all of a sudden.

In addition to houses, Yin Hongzhi also built two factories for Li You. One is an iron smelting plant. A large amount of iron ore has been transported here from Qiuliang Mountain for storage. The small blast furnace has also been built. Li You brought it here. Blacksmiths can start work the next day.

The second factory is the cement factory. The production of cement is also the key now. Cement is a must for construction. In the future, Li You will build a port here, and the dock cement is a must.

Therefore, according to Li You's request, the cement factory was built early, and the raw materials for making cement were also stocked up early, so that they can start working immediately as soon as people come.

Li You's home is on a high slope in Dengzhou City, overlooking the entire Dengzhou City, but Li You's home is not a tall building, it is a house similar to a courtyard, but this courtyard covers an area of ​​ten acres The left and right are also great.

At least Li You's whole family could live here, but Li You didn't move into his new home immediately, the first place Li You went to was the Dengzhou government office.

The new home that Quan Zhixi, Chunniang and others went to first.

Li You, Xue Rengui and Yin Cheng went to the Dengzhou government office together. After arriving at the government office, Yincheng took out everything in the Dengzhou government. To be honest, after seeing these, Li You also Slightly sighed.

It turns out that Dengzhou has been rescued by the imperial court every year, and it needs to open warehouses almost every year. Moreover, Dengzhou is also the state with the largest population loss in history. Because Dengzhou is located by the sea, too many people fled to Inland, after all, there is better development in the inland.

Fishermen by the sea are really struggling. If they escape to other states, if they are lucky, they will even reclaim a piece of wasteland. Then as long as they behave well, these reclaimed wasteland will belong to them.

What does Dengzhou have, except for the endless sea, there is almost nothing. Although there are abundant resources in the sea, you must know that the danger of death in the sea is also very high. When a huge wave hits, no strong ship can Useless.

"How many people left this year?" Li You looked at the data on the table and sighed.

"At least more than 300 people have left, and now it is almost the end of the new year. There may be more people leaving, because the weather is cold, and more fish and shrimps in the offshore are not caught. There is a way out here." Yin Cheng looked at Li You and said, "We have also made a lot of efforts, but the effect is not very great.

Now we urgently need something that can help the people of Dengzhou get rid of poverty and eat. Unfortunately, I can't find this thing. You are different. You invented soap, perfume, and candles. You can lead Dengzhou People in the state live a good life.

As long as you live a good life, the people of Dengzhou will not run away, maybe some people will come back. So everything depends on you. "

Yincheng looked at Li You with expectant eyes, and at this time Li You was also dumbfounded by this look. You must know that this place in Dengzhou is different from other places. You can say that this place in Dengzhou wants nothing. What, this place was not considered a place at all, it didn't even have a name.

In the 4th year of Wude, Tang Gaozu established Dengzhou for the first time, governed Wendeng, and led Wendeng and Guanyang counties, which belonged to Henan Province.

At first, the name, jurisdiction and seat of the Terengganu Administrative Region were not fixed.At this time, the 3 counties of Huang County, Wendeng, and Mouping in Dengzhou are just a small place. Li You frowned at this time as to what special products in Dengzhou could sell well.
