Li Shu squeezed my waist with his plump buttocks, sat down beside me, softened his body and leaned over: "You have said that if you can grow rice in Liaodong, the yield is much higher than millet and wheat. Can you..."

"Well! I have considered it for a long time, but it won't work for the time being. Lamb, don't worry. This matter is important. Let's wait first. If you want to plant it in Liaodong, you can only plant Chameng rice. Because the frost-free period in Liaodong is too short, it is not appropriate to plant other rice. Let's wait for my elder brother to plant experience in Jiangnan. At that time, let's talk to Your Majesty and plant the rice. In this way, no one will say anything and can still make it well."

"You are just too sensible..." Li Shu pouted his plump and rosy mouth, his big eyes were watery, and there was a temptation that emerged from his bones. I swallowed and squeezed with pride: "Nonsense, I don't have much scruples, can I clean up all of you? Hehehe..."

The cold wind whistled, and finally arrived at the end of the Zhenguan year. Duan Yunsong, who was full of dust, finally returned to Chang'an from Liaodong. The private room of Wangjiang Tower was filled with Tang Dynasty playboys who came to celebrate the reunion of brothers. "Oh, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You kid are much fatter than before. Why? Liaodong's Feng Shui is good and you are raising people?" Li Yexu smiled and picked up his wine glass and said.

"Oh, don't mention it, Liaodong, that's really a good place, let alone, let's tell you, Duan is tired of eating meat in Liaodong, especially in winter, oh, the pickles are like treasures. Even if it's a plate of dragon liver and phoenix brains, we don't care about it. When it comes to late autumn, the coldness almost freezes my nose into ice. Fortunately, our barracks don't just set up a few tents like in Chang'an. If you want to have that tent, you can freeze people half to death without crushing the snow. Wait, I'll eat some vegetarian food first. I'll go back to Chang'an. I'll definitely be a monk for a month... and eat vegetarian food." Duan Yunsong simply used a plate of bean sprouts in front of him as staple food, and swept it into his stomach in an instant.

The playboy who came to eat and drink all laughed so hard that he fell to the ground. "Look, he is a person who has been in Liaodong for more than a year. Oh, he doesn't even look down on meat. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"Don't say, Liaodong. Duan finally saw it. In summer, it's similar to ours. But it won't be done after autumn. Vegetables can definitely not be planted. The snow can be high waist. Can it be planted? All the animals are frozen to death and they are peeled down. Liaodong is indeed a place to raise people. It's a little cold. What's so scary? The houses built by our military camp are the same as those of ordinary people. They are all burned in large pieces of land and coal. They are all built with fire pits. That warmth. They almost don't want to get up. Hehe, I have to say. I have to thank our brother Jun, our Master Yuanzheng, who was not the map he handed to the Ministry of Works. We moved to Liaodong and the people, but I don't know what they would be frozen. But, the land in Liaodong is so fat that it almost bleeds..."

I sat aside and looked at the man who kept blowing the sea with a smile. Well, it wasn't a blow, it was indeed like this. If it weren't for the large-scale planting of cotton, it would be difficult to bear in the winter in Liaodong, but the Liaodong's products were indeed rich enough.

Although the people followed Guanzhong, Hebei and other places generally can only sow seeds for one season, but the harvest was far more abundant than before. Why? There are more land and fat land. The average land in Guanzhong is not more than fifteen acres of land per capita. However, in Liaodong, men Ding and men over 18 years old each received 60 acres of Yongye land, three times that in Guanzhong. The 200 acres of land in the mouth are also several times that in Guanzhong. Moreover, due to the changes in national policies, Uncle Li Xinyu has a nobleman and a fifth-rank or above official official, and a scattered official can receive 5 to 100 hectares of Yongye land according to the grade. The honor palace can receive 60 to 30 hectares of honor land according to the grade. They all receive 60 to 30 hectares of honor land according to the grade. They all receive 60 to 30 hectares of honor land. They all receive 20 to Jiangnan land, which means avoiding densely populated areas.

Moreover, Liaodong adopted horse farming. From the 18th year of Zhenguan to this year, there were as many as 50,000 households and more than 200,000 people moving from Guanzhong to Liaodong alone, including those relocated in other places. The population of Liaodong now has a total of more than 570,000, and the Han people account for 70% of them.

"Do you know how many acres of land in Liaodong have been opened from last year to today?" Duan Yunsongzi sipped the wine and showed off proudly. Su Dingfang put down the wine pot and smashed his mouth: "I guess I can drive more than 500,000 acres? How much can I get in just two years?"

"I'm wrong, it's this number!" Duan Yunsong stretched out two slaps, then withdrew four fingers, and smiled very despicable. On the side, Cheng Chuliang rolled his eyes: "What's so strange? Six hundred thousand acres, and so much, it's less than one million acres."

Duan Yunsong still maintained his strange expression and shook his head, and continued to hold two big slaps: "No, 600,000 acres, is Duan a rich man in the countryside? Even if it is one million acres, can it enter Duan's eyes? Can it be used to show it to the brothers?"

In an instant, the whole room became silent, and even I was shocked and asked in disbelief: "I said Brother Duan, you wouldn't say it's six million acres, right?"

"That's right, there are more than 9.3 million mu of acres in total." Duan Yunsong finally stopped selling it and grinned proudly: "Tell you that Liaodong uses it, but it's all horse trench. Do you know how many acres of land the people there can open in a month?" Duan Yunsong raised his finger: "On the flat beach, you can open ten acres. If you are in other places, you can also open six or seven acres. Add to the original arable land in Liaodong, do you know? There are more than 8 million mu of land in Liaodong now. This is not the territory east of Yalushui. The total grain is nearly 20 million stones. Unfortunately, the court has an order to ban the land tax from collecting land within five years. Otherwise, at least Liaodong can also collect two or three million stones of grain. Look, it's only two years later. In the future, I don't know what kind of wealth can be like in Liaodong."

That night, Duan Yunsong became the protagonist, and the propaganda were soon spread by the playboys. At this time, the memorial of Cen Wenben, the Liaodong Dao observer, then arrived in Chang'an, and Uncle Li sat in the court and was having fun.

"You all listen, listen carefully. Liaodong is indeed a treasure land. My battle is really worth it, worth it! Hahaha..." Uncle Li's excited butt seemed to be equipped with a drill bit, and he couldn't sit steadily. The sound of the memorial of Zhongguan was a little changed: "... Only a hundred miles south of Liaozhou, the iron ore veins were found. The reserves were unprecedented and the quality was superior. It was unheard of. Another ten miles east of Muzhou. The coal stone ore was found as an open-pit mine. It can be said that it could not be taken out as soon as possible. It is reported that there are also large iron and copper veins upstream of the Liang River. At present, I have sent Wu Ben's army to escort the officials of the Ministry of Works to investigate. If you hear the auspicious news, you will definitely submit it to Your Majesty as soon as possible..."

The ministers present were all happy. Why, these are all money? Now, the coal mines are adopted by the official business. Since the coal stove spread, the wind of coal use has become more and more prosperous. Not to mention the high-gate and large valves, even the common people have burned coal. Especially in winter, standing on the head of Chang'an, you can see countless large and small smoke pipes standing like flagpole signs piercing straight into the sky, with thick smoke rolling.

After the coal is dug out, the coal is more expensive, and the coal is more suitable. So we also spread the technology of making honeycomb coal. In this way, most ordinary people use coal, which is more suitable than coal. In the past, buying wood-carbon in a winter would cost about a hundred yuan, but it would cost so much to burn coal. Moreover, the warmth and safety factor of the coal stove are much higher than that of carbon, which made at least tens of thousands of acres of trees cut off around Guanzhong last year.

"Liaodong is indeed a treasure land. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to me on the Tang Dynasty!" The old man was the first to jump out and flatter him first, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the Tang Dynasty's efforts to develop Liaodong must be increased, and the construction of roads must be accelerated."

The Minister of Works and the Right Guard of the Crown Prince led Li Daliang to stand up: "Well, yes, the road must be repaired, and it must be repaired well. But what we lack now is that we are not able to provide enough manpower. It took more than 100,000 Goguryeo prisoners of war to build a road in Liaodong. However, the weather in Liaodong is much colder than ours. The road can be built every year for only seven months. Now, half of the road from Yingzhou to Liaozhou, Liaozhou through Anshizhou, Jian'anzhou to Jilizhou on the Liaodong Peninsula has been built. The road from Pingdingcheng to Liaozhou has been built to the east of Yalu River. I am afraid that the construction will be started after the ice and snow melts next year."
