Two hundred and twentieth eight chapters go to Wangjiazhuang
Under Wang Ning'an's control, Li Xiangcheng's reputation for virtue quickly spread throughout Chang'an City. Even Li Er and Chang Sun were very happy. Everyone was praising Li Xiangcheng and saying that Wang Ning'an was unlucky.
I got such a good wife like Li Xiangcheng.
In the next few days, Wang Ning'an and Li Xiangcheng accompanied Wang Liangping to visit the entire city of Chang'an and eat all the delicious food in Chang'an.
Another day passed. Wang Liangping and Wang Ning'an were playing chess. When they learned that chess was invented by Wang Ning'an, they wanted to play chess with Wang Ning'an.
At this moment, he was fascinated. This lasted a day. At first he was abused by Wang Ning'an, but gradually he was able to fight with Wang Ning'an a few times, and finally he was able to defeat Wang Ning'an once.
"General." Wang Ning'an placed a pawn next to the red commander, completely checking the red side.
Wang Liangping placed the chess pieces on the chessboard and said: "Ning'an, Xiangcheng, it's time for me to go back."
"Dad, did we not greet him well?" Li Xiangcheng said quickly.
Wang Liangping smiled and said: "No, you have taken good care of me. I am reluctant to leave Chang'an, but as the magistrate of Yanchang County, I can leave for ten days and a half, but I can't leave for too long, right?"
"Dad, I will ask my father to give you a promotion. Just leave you in Chang'an." Li Xiangcheng said.
"No. I know my character and abilities. Being a magistrate in Yanchang County is already my limit. When I get to Chang'an, I'm afraid I will offend a lot of people." Wang Liangping said with a smile.
Wang Ning'an looked at his father in surprise, "So you know it all, why don't you change it after you know it?"
Li Xiangcheng smiled and said: "Father, you are humble. Your ability is obvious to all. I will go and tell my father."
Wang Ning'an grabbed Li Xiangcheng and said: "No, since dad likes to go to Yanchang County, then let's go to Yanchang County. But dad, you have to postpone it for a day and go to my village tomorrow."
"Fuck you Zhuangzi?"
Wang Liangping looked at his son with some surprise. In just a few months, he had his own restaurant, teahouse, workshop, and even Zhuangzi.
In Chang'an, the price of one Zhuangzi can be compared to ten restaurants in Chang'an City, not for anything else but because of the land.
Having Zhuangzi means owning land. In Chang'an, a piece of land is worth hundreds of dollars, which is much more expensive than other places.
Wang Ning'an said: "Uncle Cheng gave this to me. So far, I haven't been there yet. Uncle Zhong is taking care of everything. Let's go together tomorrow."
"Ning'an, why do you want me to go to your village?" Wang Liangping asked.
Wang Ning'an said: "Dad, can you just let me get away with it?"
"Well, since you won't tell me, I won't ask." Wang Liangping said. For him, it's not much more than a day or two.
"Thank you dad."
"It's getting late. I know you still have something to do. Go and do your work. I'm going to have a rest too." Wang Liangping left after saying that.
"Ms. Gong, Cheng Yaojin will give you Zhuangzi, your consort?" Li Xiangcheng asked.
Wang Ning'an said: "It's not very big, just fifty households with three hundred acres of land."
"It's really not big." Li Xiangcheng nodded and said, "My father gave me 10,000 acres of fertile land, which feeds 3,000 households, and it's right at the foot of the Western Mountain."
"Ten thousand acres of fertile land to feed three thousand households? My father is so generous to us." Wang Ning'an said without fear or tears.
"That's it. Hey, what's your expression? You look very unhappy." Before Li Xiangcheng could feel proud, he saw Wang Ning'an's expression that was about to cry.
With a tearless expression, he couldn't help but ask.
"Hey." Wang Ning'an said, "Xiangcheng, do you think three thousand households is too much?"
"Of course it's a lot. From now on, the annual rent paid by these three thousand households will be enough to cover the expenses of the princess's house."
"You are irresponsible. We now have a village with three thousand households, which means we have nearly ten thousand mouths.
What we have to do is to feed these 10,000 mouths, we must feed them, and we must have surplus food and money every year.”
After a pause, he continued: "Okay, with these 3,000 households and 10,000 acres of fertile land, I can expand the breeding industry."
"Expand the breeding industry?" Li Xiangcheng asked with some confusion.
Wang Ning'an said: "You will know tomorrow. Tomorrow you ask the person in charge of Zhuangzi to follow you and go to Wangjiazhuang to have a look."
"good."
On the same day, Wang Ning'an asked Wang Zhong to arrange things in Zhuangzi. Although he had not been to Zhuangzi himself, he believed that the farmers in Wangjiazhuang were living very well.
In the early morning, two carriages were waiting outside the gate of the Princess Mansion. One was occupied by Wang Liangping and Wang Zhong, and the other was occupied by Wang Ning'an and his wife.
As for the others, they followed them on horseback.
Wang Cheng helped Wang Liangping drive the carriage, and Sizhu and Yinqiao helped Wang Ning'an and Li Xiangcheng drive the carriage. Together with the accompanying guards, there were about fifty people in total. Because this was Chang'an, there was no need for too many people to accompany them.
After galloping for more than an hour, the team finally arrived at Wangjiazhuang.
"Consort, here we are."
"Master, we're here."
Yinqiao and Wang Cheng spoke at the same time.
Wang Ning'an and his party dismounted one after another. The first thing they saw was an archway with a plaque on it with the four characters Wangjiazhuang engraved on it.
There were more than a hundred people gathered under the archway. They were waiting for someone, and they were waiting for Wang Ning to press their button.
Yesterday they received news from Wang Zhong that the princess and Wang Ning'an were coming, so they were waiting again early in the morning.
"Oh my God, what happened to their hands and feet?" Li Xiangcheng exclaimed because she saw so many people missing arms and legs.
The bankers in Wangjiazhuang were all Cheng Yaojin's brothers on the battlefield, but they were retired. The reason for being retired was that they could not go to the battlefield.
Therefore, all the young and strong people in Wangjiazhuang are missing arms and legs, and there are also people like Shen Da who are intact, but they are tired of the fighting and killing on the battlefield, so they retired from the army.
Wang Ning'an knew about this and promised Cheng Yaojin to support them, so he was mentally prepared for it.
Wang Liangping was also very curious and asked Wang Zhong with his eyes.
Wang Zhong understood and immediately explained: "Master, princess, they used to be good brothers with General Cheng through life and death. However, their hands and feet were cut off on the battlefield, so they all retired from the army and were arranged by General Cheng to live in their own village.
Here. And this bank account now belongs to the young master."
Wang Zhong still didn't change his tune and still called Wang Ning'an Young Master, and Li Xiangcheng didn't object to this either.
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "They are all good men who fought for the Tang Dynasty. They should not be buried in the countryside, so I give them some work to make their lives better."
Wang Liangping nodded and said: "Ning'an, you did a good job, you have the courage of a man."
"I learned it all from my father."
Li Xiangcheng said: "I will definitely report this matter to my father so that those soldiers who have lost their ability to survive on the battlefield will be treated better."
"This must be done." Wang Ning'an said with a smile. "However, the best way is to let them be self-reliant. Stop talking here, let's go in."
"good."
At this moment, the dealers under the archway came over to Wang Ning'an, and then they all knelt on the ground and said: "The villain joins the princess, the consort."
"Everyone, get up." Wang Ning'an said.
"Thank you, Prince Consort." The dealers all stood up.
This is Wang Ning'an's home court, so everything is decided by Wang Ning'an.
Wang Ning'an nodded with satisfaction and said: "Today I am just taking my father to visit Zhuangzi here. You don't have to come to accompany me. You can all go and do your work. I know Zhuangzi is very busy now. Uncle Zhong is very familiar with Zhuangzi, so there is no need to trouble you to lead the way."
Already."
"yes."
The people in the village are very simple. Just leave if you ask them to leave, and go to work if you ask them to work. As long as you can give them a bowl of rice, that's all.
Wang Zhong was the most familiar with everything in Wangjiazhuang, so Wang Ning'an asked Wang Zhong to lead the way.
Wang Ning'an said: "Uncle Zhong, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Wang Zhong said, and then he walked at the front, saying as he walked: "The young master said that if you want to improve the lives of the villagers in Zhuangzi, and even live a prosperous life, then you need to plan.
"
"Planning? How to plan?" Wang Liangping asked.
Wang Zhong said: "The young master said that it should be based on Zhuangzi's resource conditions, existing production base, development guidelines and policies of nearby cities, with economic development as the center, efficiency improvement as the premise, etc.
The conditions of Zhuangzi in Wangjiazhuang are average, with only 50 acres of land, and not a particularly large labor force. The annual grain output is just enough to provide food and clothing. There is nothing to say about the fact that Zhuangzi has not only 100,000 but also 80,000 people near Chang'an."
"In that case, why do you still mention it?" Wang Liangping asked, "There are also economic development as the center, increasing production, etc. Are you planning to let Zhuangzi people do business?"
Wang Ning'an replied: "Dad, what you said is almost the same, but this business is related to farming. What is sold in the village is pork, mutton, chicken, duck, etc."
Wangjiazhuang is close to Chang'an City, which is the biggest advantage. All the poultry raised in the village can be sold quickly, which is an income."
Wang Liangping nodded and said: "What you said is correct, but will this delay the farming work?"
"No." Wang Zhong said: "Master, let's go to the chicken farm now."
Under the leadership of Wang Zhong, everyone came to the chicken farm. They smelled an unpleasant smell of chicken feces before they even walked in.
Li Xiangcheng frowned slightly, covered his nose with a silk scarf and said, "Ning'an, it smells so bad."
Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "It's good if you hear something strange."
"But."
Wang Ning'an patted Li Xiangcheng's hand and said, "You must tell my father what you saw and heard today."
Li Xiangcheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Wang Ning'an meant. He wanted to use her to tell his father what he saw and heard today.
Since it was Wang Ning'an's intention, Li Xiangcheng endured the smell and entered the chicken farm.
Wang Liangping saw those densely packed chickens running around on the ground and couldn't help but asked: "Ning'an, you raise so many chickens, can you sell them?"
