Chapter 249

Li Ji was the prime minister of the dynasty and was also considered a rich man in the Tang Dynasty. His family had many lands, especially many people. As early as the Sui Dynasty, there were thousands of children and servants in his family. At that time, the Li family was just a powerful local tyrant.

Nowadays, the Li family is the family of prime ministers, the leaders of Shandong upstarts, and I don’t know how many slaves there are. Li Xiao encouraged Li Ji to go to Baekje to farm, but in fact he just wanted to take a sailboat.

Although the Li family in Lanxi has now squeezed into the ranks of Tang nobles, they are still too young after all. If Li Ji is willing to go to Baekje to farm, there will not only be policy support, for example, Li Ji said that the Navy of the Conquest East could sell the prisoners to the Yi merchants who farmed, so that the slaves who farmed were from the military farm would have a source.

In addition, with Li Ji's relationship, it will definitely be convenient and cheap to buy land there. Furthermore, if the Li family can be next to Li Ji's trunk, it will be safer to benefit from it at that time. Even if they go to Baekje, they can take their boats or follow their fleet.

"Ying Gong, although Baekje is still in war, it will be a country that will be destroyed in a few years. By then, Baekje will be the prefecture and county of our Tang Dynasty. Baekje is not as bitter and cold as Liaodong. Although it is located east of the sea, the climate there is no different from the Jianghuai River and the fields are also very fertile. If you don't take the lead now, the land there will definitely be very popular in the future, and it will not be so easy to get it." Li Xiao seduced Li Ji.

For people of this era, land has a special temptation. No matter how you make a living, it is easier to buy land than to buy land. Buying land is to ensure profits from drought and flood.

You may lose money when doing anything, but buying land will not lose money, and it is also the most stable profit. It can also benefit from passing on children and grandchildren from generation to generation. Land is the lifeblood of people in this era.

The emperor is the largest landlord in the world, and nobility and bureaucrats are not big landlords. Those who have no land are the worst people in this era.

However, even if Li Ji is now the Grand Tutor, the Duke of England, and the third rank of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, in the Central Secretariat, it is not said that he can buy land if he wants to buy land. After all, the world is stable and no one will easily sell land. The transaction of land is strictly regulated, and it is even more likely to happen if he takes advantage of the trick.

But Baekje is different. This is an undeveloped virgin land.

Before the court’s restrictions, it is the most cost-effective to quickly take action. Now, buying land is cheap and easy to buy. If you want to buy as much as you want, you can choose the best land and buy land in a continuous manner, which is most suitable for farming management.

How much better than a small piece of broken land here and a small piece of broken land there.

If you want to buy such a good place in Zhongyuan, dream.

And as Li Xiao said, the land in Baekje is indeed better than the land in Longyou Hexi. The climate is pleasant and the land is fertile. Especially after the imperial court conquered Baekje, there is no need to worry. After all, the Sanhan Peninsula is just a peninsula, and there is also a Fusang in the south, which is no longer a threat.

It is as good as JAC, but it does not have the price of JAC, and there are no restrictions. If you don’t take action now, you will really regret it in the future.

Li Ji finally reached an agreement with Li Xiao, and the two Li went to Baekje together to make money. Li Ji actually didn't have much motivation. After all, the Li family couldn't count the amount of money. There were piles of copper coins in the treasury, and a lot of the ropes that tied the money were rotten because they were useless for too long.

There are so many piles of silk in the Li family.

But Li Ji valued land more seriously. He had many children and grandchildren, but not all of them were good-for-nothing. In his words, when the farming there improved a little, he would arrange an unsatisfactory son to take care of it. In fact, he wanted to arrange a son to spread out there, and from then on, the Li family would have an extra Baekje house.

This can be regarded as a century-long plan for the Li family.

Li Xiao and Li Ji were talking so much, but first, they wanted to borrow Li Ji's status to attract some policy support, and second, they wanted to borrow some people and money from Li Ji.

Going to Baekje to farm, catching slaves is a very risky business. Buying boats and weapons, and recruiting despairs, all of which cost money. In addition to these, you have to take advantage of the opportunity to buy more land and go down as much as possible. Then you have to buy slaves, oxen, farm tools, etc., which are not cheap.

Li Xiao now has some money, but not much, so he bought a lot of bulls and spent a lot of money to run a workshop. He wanted to borrow some from Li Ji first.

"It's easy to say, just borrow some money, just say how much you want." Li Ji is rich and the Li family is very rich, but Li Ji can't explain clearly how much money he has. Anyway, he is very rich.

"Young Gong, you not only want to borrow money, but also want to borrow some people from you. Going to Baekje to farm is not as good as just a slave, and you have to be a lie in every aspect. You also know that my Lanxi Li family was just a small family in the past, and there were no clan family members, so there were not many trustworthy people."

"No problem, I'll arrange it for you."

Li Ji wanted to arrange people to go to Baekje to farm, which was considered for the Li family for a hundred years. In the country, the family is always the first. Although the Central Plains are large, they are bound to break up and get together. Every two or three hundred years, they must go through breaking up and getting together. They will establish a branch for the Li family in Baekje, which is also for the long-term consideration of the Li family.

If something happens to the main trunk of the Central Plains, there will be branches of the border areas in the future and the continuation of the Li family can continue.

"Baoje farming is because there are more people and more power. If more noble families can go to Baeje farming, the safer it will be for us."

Li Xiao was not worried that there would be more people going there, and there would be disputes over interests. Now Baekje is blank. Everyone can enclose land as much as possible. Even the court will acquiesce. After all, the court does not have the ability to include the entire Baekje in direct control. The court also hopes to use these wealthy families to stabilize the newly controlled Baekje.

For Li Xiao, if there are too many nobles and wealthy families, there is no need to worry about changes in the court's policies. Everyone invests so much, even if the court wants to withdraw at that time, it is probably not acceptable. With them speaking out in the court, long-term interests can be guaranteed.

What Li Xiao has to do now is to show everyone a way, and then follow this torrent into Baekje and go to the fullest to capture the land.

"The Cheng family, Xue family, Su family, etc., contact a few more families. If you have money, you can make money together, and if you have good places, you can circle together. Even the emperor, we can persuade Your Majesty to send the official to circle and set up a few imperial villages."

Li Xiao looks like I am a loyal minister, and I am considering the Emperor everywhere.

"Hahaha." Li Ji laughed, "It's no problem, it's just a greeting. But, Xiangrui, if you were to attend Baekje in person, I would be more at ease."

Li Xiao waved his hand quickly and said, "I am the only one in the Li family in Lanxi. Baekje has only built a city now. Who knows how long it takes to completely conquer those sticks? I will not go to such a dangerous place."

"I, Li Xiao, are not qualified to preside over the situation. Of course, I have to send my children to preside over the overall situation."

"Let Jingyou go." Li Ji said, Li Jingyou is Li Ji's grandson and the second son of the eldest son Li Zhen. Li Ji also has several concubines, but he finally decided to let the second grandson go instead of choosing a concubine. The idea is more traditional.
