The fourth update is here! Thank you for not dying for a day, you will be the crown prince’s reward after all.

Chang'an.

Eastern Palace, Lizheng Palace.

During the day, Li Shimin went to the suburbs of Beijing to watch this summer's crops, and even went to Bashang in contemporaries. Lijiagou in Bailu Township is still prosperous now, and Lijiagou has even been called Lizhen by the villagers. Li Chao's house is still the same, but a few archways have been added outside, so everyone who comes to Lizhen must come here to take a look first.

The original Zhangjiagou Village has now become a town with markets and streets. Bailu Academy is getting bigger and bigger. Now it has more than a thousand students. He is the one who succeeds Li Chao as the mountain leader here and is also a very famous old scholar. Not only are the children of Bailu Township going to school here, but many families in Chang'an send their children to study here.

Because the college rules here are extremely strict, all students are boarding and have a five-day break. During the five-day school period, the gate of the school is closed, students are not allowed to be discharged, and students' parents and servants are not allowed to be admitted. Although it is a bit strict, the students taught are indeed motivated and sensible, and the knowledge taught by the teachers is also good. Therefore, even some big families will send their children to you now.

There are also many workshops in Lizhen.

There are also many printing shops, wine shops, etc., and there are two-story shops on both sides of the Cross Street in the town.

The original bathing ditch was just a wasteland, but now it has become the real rice and grain river. The lake water is green, and the terraced rice flowers on both sides of the river are fragrant, while the mulberry trees on the slope are in rows, vines, cherries, kiwis, etc. are all growing just right.

By the water, there are rows of small courtyards on vacation, and there are also a floating pier, with boats tied to the reservoir. In the reservoir, lotus leaves meet the sky and fish jump out of the water from time to time.

Li Shimin also had his own small courtyard there, where he had a fish, rice and farm meal, rowed a boat, and bought some newly picked lotus pods and water chestnuts from the lotus-picking girls.

After wandering around for a day, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an reluctantly.

Two years ago, when he first came to Bashang, it was not like this here at that time. It was still a very ordinary place at that time, and the bath ditch was just a big wasteland ditch.

night.

Sitting in the hall, Li Shimin personally peeled the water chestnuts brought back from the bath ditch for Changsun.

"That place is really good. Li San is just a stubborn living. What kind of vacation hut is made? Although it is small and simple, it is not as magnificent as the summer palace, nor as comfortable as the pond on Mount Li. But there is no need to rush forward and backward. It is indeed a good place to completely abandon your identity and relax. Fishing, or rafting, picking lotus and picking water chestnuts, or grab a net, and paddle into the center of the water, scatter a net vigorously, and then close the net to see the fish catch."

"The mountains and waters are green, and you can even jump into the water to swim. In the evening, you can lie on a rocking chair and watch the sunset and enjoy the cool breeze. It feels so good. When it gets dark, you can also set up a bonfire, make a grill, and grill a local chicken. In the charcoal pile below, you can also bury a few taro, or bury a goose egg wrapped in wet paper. Then grill some lamb skewers and sprinkle some cumin. It's really good."

"Tonight, I set up a bamboo bed under the grape trellis in the yard, hang up a mosquito net, look at the stars in the sky, listen to the sound of frogs, and see fireflies flying. It was a feeling of unrestrained pleasure."

Changsun picked up a peeled water chestnut and put it into his mouth. The very tender water chestnut was very crisp and sweet. When he bite, he still had a lot of juice, just like eating a pear.

"Your Majesty, you have never lived there, how do you know this?"

Li Shimin smiled.

"Wuji and Xuanling and others have lived there. Now everyone has a small courtyard there. Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin and others even have their own manor there. Li San has not done enough to do this place and he didn't even build a manor for me."

"Didn't you just dominate a small courtyard? Whose yard is the one? You have dominated it?" Changsun asked with a smile.

"It's Li San's father-in-law Cui Shanfu. I gave him 100 guan to buy it."

"You bought that, it was obviously a robbery. I heard that each yard in the Li family's Whalegou Resort is at least a thousand chunks, with a mountain back and a small courtyard and a wharf. I also heard that there were also a piece of vegetable field and a few fields?"

Li Shimin said excitedly, "Yes, it's all the water facing the lake. Each family has a small wooden floating dock and a small yacht. The house is not too big, but there is a small courtyard. There are grape trellis, jujube trees, pomegranates, etc. There is also a large vegetable field behind the courtyard, where you can grow vegetables by yourself. There are terraces next to it, and you can grow grain. The Li family is very good at doing things. He also equipped each yard with a family of servants. They can not only guard the house and look at the yard, but also help take care of the well-grown vegetables and crops."

The resort developed by the Li family has only about 800 yards in total. Each yard is quite spacious along the waterside on both sides of the ditch. It has a dock, a field and vegetable fields.

Those who come here to buy a yard can also grow vegetables and farm here, which is also a kind of leisure. Of course, the yards here are at least a thousand yuan, and the people who come to buy are either rich or noble, most of them are nobles. They don’t have that much time to really grow vegetables and farm every day, so these vegetable fields are just a chance to experience them. They come to stay for a few days when they have time and have fun on their own.

When they returned, the servants whom the Li family assigned them would help them take care of the yard, their vegetable fields, rice fields, and fruit trees.

Every few days, I pick some fresh vegetables and pick some fish to send them to Chang'an Mansion.

For these wealthy people, this is a style.

This has even become a popular fashion for wealthy families in Chang'an. It is too common to go to Lishan or Zhongnan Mountain to build a beacon. You have to go to Jingyugou, Li Town, Bashang to buy a vacation yard. Look at the good planning of their vacation yard, and the design concept is so comfortable.

You can also grow vegetables and fish there, and you can also plant some rice and fruit trees with your own hands.

Now the prime ministers and ministers all have small houses there, so it’s not just about leisure there. For many people, they looked down on Li’s resort at the beginning, and of course they were for enjoyment. They also had to grow vegetables and grains by themselves. Isn’t this full of food?

But when they saw the prime minister and the minister, and the large group of generals such as Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and Li Shiji, who were also building villas in Zhuchengyuan, they became active.

Not to mention anything else, Lizhen Jingyugou Resort has now become a symbol of identity. Those who can enter are all people with status and those who can become villagers are very remarkable. After all, the neighbors are all high-ranking and generals, and great families of honors.

The number is still limited, with only about 800 units in total. Maybe the Li family will build the second phase, but who knows when it will be?

Therefore, the Li family’s resort courtyard is getting more and more expensive.

If it is a real hospital, it is hard to find it, and you can't get in with money but no identity.

Many people are polite and often go to resorts, grow vegetables, grains, and fruit trees. They often borrow some reasons to send fruits and vegetables produced in their own fields to go around the mansions of high-ranking officials in the village.

Li Shimin likes resorts, but he is really like Fang Xuanling and others. He is just a busy work break. When he occasionally takes a break, he goes to Bashang for a holiday and has some leisure time. He is tired from the work and comes to the yard. He also gets a hoe to dig the ground, plant some vegetables, fruits and melons, and removes weedings. Or fishing and watching the rice in the fields grow taller day by day, which is also a rare relaxation and soothing.

"In a deserted ditch, the Li family has developed more than 3,000 acres of rice terraces, thousands of acres of vegetable fields, and more than 10,000 acres of fruit forests. He even raised chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, fish, sheep, sheep, cattle, and built mills, as well as hydraulic sawing and wood workshops, and hydraulic forging workshops. Li Chao's bathing ditch became a whale ditch. More than 800 small houses were built along the water, and sold for more than 100,000 yuan. It is said that Li Chao was the reincarnation of Wenquxing and Wuquxing. According to my opinion, he was actually the reincarnation of the God of Wealth."

Li Shimin laughed.

"The Queen is very accurate. No one in the entire court has made money better than Li Chao. Queen, do you know how much money did the three cities in Shuofang opened by Li Chao make in the first half of the month?"

Empress Changsun thought for a while, "When Li Chao was in Taozhou, he paid tens of thousands of guan in taxes in January. This is still one-third of the taxes paid for the central government. The three cities of Ningyuan are definitely larger than Jiangxin. I estimate that in half a month, there will be 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."

"You're not doing this right, are you a little far away?"

"More than 20,000 or 30,000? That may be because the market opened and the transaction was more than 50,000 yuan. Now it's almost done?"

Li Shimin still shook his head.

"Sixty thousand?"

"Queen, please be bold and guess up."

"You have to guess boldly? Could it be 100,000? Oh my God, 100,000 yuan in half a month, even the three border cities are so scary." Empress Changsun exclaimed.

"Wrong, ten times more than ten times more than a hundred thousand!" Li Shimin said proudly.

"Ten times more than one hundred thousand are more than ten times, wouldn't that be more than one million?"

"That's right, let me tell you, in just one Ningyuan City, only half a month, the tax collected reached more than 1.5 million guan and more than 1.5 million guan. I never thought that a border city could pay so much tax. The taxes in Zhenbei and Linzhou were less, but the total amount was over 100,000. Li Chao wrote a letter, one-third paid to the central government, one-third paid to the court, and one-third paid to the court. There were six hundred thousand guan."

With 600,000 yuan, Empress Changsun was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.

The current tax system of the imperial court is a system of renting and mediocre renting, which is basically based on physical taxes and will also collect a small amount of industrial and commercial, tariffs, etc., but in a year, there will be no 200,000 yuan. Not to mention that the tariffs on a border market in half a month will be received by millions.

"How did Li Chao do it? He won't be able to impose heavy taxes, right?"

"Don't worry, Li Chao is very stable in his work. He is just a little smart. The taxes that the court can increase this year are a lot of. Salt tax, tea tax, wine tax, sugar tax, and mineral tax. According to Li Chao's estimates, at least two million guan can be collected."

And this is not all that the fiscal and tax increases are today.

There is also the tax revenue of border cities, which costs more than one million guan in half a month. Even if you don’t count the ones left in the local area, you only count the one-third of the central government’s finances. In a year, it is conservatively estimated that at least three million guan will be at least three million guan in a year.

The central government increased its revenue by 5 million yuan in one year.

Li Shimin even didn't know how to spend the money.
