"Master, in the spring of next year, we must build concrete houses for all the farmers in Zhuangzi!"
"You haven't seen it. I was sleeping until midnight when the whole village suddenly became noisy. The houses of two farmers were directly crushed by the snow. Another farmer was unlucky and had his leg crushed."
"It's okay for you. In my village, an old farmer was directly killed by a collapsed beam!"
"Alas, my village is even worse. Three farmers have disappeared from our village!"
"..."
In the end, Cheng Chusi ended this inexplicable miserable discussion by considering the loss of three dealers as the biggest casualty.
Originally, among them, one was the crown prince of the East Palace of the Tang Dynasty, one was the prince of the county of the Tang Dynasty, one was the legitimate son of the county prince, and the rest were all the eldest sons of the Duke.
Their status is extremely respected. According to the past trend, they have no relationship at all with the farmers in the village.
In fact, even during the spring plowing and autumn harvest festivals, they only need to go to the farm to show off and do errands, and will not have any interaction with the farmers.
However, they happened to meet the wife Li Xuan, and they also learned Li Xuan's way and wanted to treat the villagers as a family.
I want to lead the farmers to raise chickens, ducks, hogs, and even fish.
Finally, a glass greenhouse was built.
Lead the bankers to make money...
Anyway, after they learned something from Li Xuan, they went to their own village to teach the farmers how to do it.
In this way, with such a good little proprietor at the stall, the dealers subconsciously treated Cheng Chusi and others with all their heart.
Whenever they passed by, the farmers would spontaneously go over to greet them, arrange tables and chairs for them, and even prepare tea and snacks.
Although they are not as delicious as those here at Master's, those teas and snacks are the best items in the households of those farmers.
They can tell just by seeing the boys from the farmers drooling at their tea and snacks.
After going back and forth like this, although there is still a status gap between them, the small proprietors and the farmers, they are becoming more and more familiar with each other, even more familiar with them than the servants in their houses.
Overnight, just because of a heavy snowfall, several lives disappeared before their eyes, leaving them helpless.
At the same time, they all suddenly figured out, what is the use of the money that is comparable to a mountain in the house?
Money only has value when it is turned into something truly useful.
"You all know how to build a cement house, what tools and materials are needed, what manpower is needed, and how much it costs. Why bother asking me about this!"
Looking at these little bastards who seemed to have matured a lot, Li Xuan was a little surprised in his heart, but his face was still filled with relief.
"Master, it takes about twenty guan to build a house. There are at least hundreds of farmers in our village, and it takes several thousand guan at a time. I'm afraid of Aye's punishment!"
Cheng Chusi said cautiously.
"You spend your own money, what are you afraid of? Besides, haven't those Zhuangzi given you full responsibility, so what do you have to worry about?"
Li Xuan was a little surprised at the changes in these bastards. They were afraid of being punished because of their money.
Is this what the dandies of Chang'an City can do?
"Master, are we spending our own money?"
Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi were all stunned.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan chuckled and asked, "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi and others were startled.
"You are all the eldest sons of each family, and you will inherit the family property in the future! When you inherit the family property in the future, no matter how much money your family has, won't it all be your own money in the end?
"Li Xuan said seriously.
“It seems that’s really the case!”
Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others all nodded subconsciously.
"In this case, you will spend your money on your own, so why bother with you?" Li Xuan said.
"Thank you Master for your teaching!"
Li Chongyi, Cheng Chusi and others bowed with joyful faces and raised their hands.
"A boy can be taught!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly.
Anyway, their family earns more than 100,000 guan, or even more than 200,000 guan every month. Why not spend a few thousand guan to build a house for those farmers who have been farming for them for generations?
…
The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in history did not come in vain. In this heavy snow, the officials of those aristocratic families showed their different sides to Li Xuan.
In addition to corruption, intrigues, and exclusion of dissidents, these officials from aristocratic families are doing their best to provide disaster relief to those poor farmers!
Of course, we do not rule out the idea of rescuing and treating these farmers and raising them before cutting leeks!
More than ten days later, the impact of this snowstorm on Chang'an, Guanzhong, and Guanner areas disappeared as the snow merged.
Chang'an City fell into prosperity again.
Every day, ten four-wheeled carriages loaded with seafood from Qingzhou were transported into Chang'an City.
Seafood restaurants in the east and west cities are still as popular as ever.
At the same time, in the Liangyi Hall.
Looking at the report in his hand, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.
There was a snowstorm in the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks in the far north also had a snowstorm, which was even more serious than the Tang Dynasty.
The Turkic grasslands encountered a rare drought in the summer. Now, another snowstorm has struck, and a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses have been frozen to death and starved to death.
Jieli, who only took more than 30,000 remnants of his troops, retreated all the way to Iron Mountain, did not bring many cattle, sheep, and horses with him.
Now, most of it is frozen to death again.
Under such circumstances of internal and external troubles, Jie Li had to consider putting down his face, surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and joining the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, he could not defeat the elusive Li Jing!
Wait until next year when the grass is green and the horses are fertile, and then move to Mobei, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.
"What do you think of Jie Li's request to surrender?"
After letting Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others read the apology letter sent by Jie Li, Li Shimin asked slowly.
This time he devoted all his efforts to pacify the Turks, destroy Jieli, and make Jieli surrender to the Tang Dynasty, avenging his previous humiliation!
Unexpectedly, just over three months had passed, and Jie Li, who had previously forced him to sue for peace in person, was actually chased away by Li Jing and others like rabbits, all the way from Xiangcheng to Qikou, and again
He was driven to Yin Mountain and finally hid in Tieshan Mountain.
They lost their helmets and armor along the way, not to mention losing more than half of their tribes. Even their confidant General Kang Sumi was beaten to despair by the powerful generals of the Tang Dynasty. Under Li Jing's persuasion, he led the Xiao family and
His grandson Yang Zhengdao arrived in Dingxiang and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
But now, Jie Li also began to feel desperate, and sent his confidants to Chang'an in person to plead guilty.
The greatest shame and humiliation in his life is about to be wiped away!
Rao has been in office for three years, and Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Your Majesty is wise, Jieli is no longer able to resist. From now on, our Tang Dynasty will no longer have any Turkic troubles!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Might..."
Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all congratulated Li Shimin.
"So, do you all agree that I accept Jie Li's surrender?"
Li Shimin looked overjoyed.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui bowed their hands helplessly.
So what if you don’t agree, you have already written your meaning clearly on your face!
But Fang Xuanling was standing aside, frowning slightly.
