Chapter 1381 A Treat

That night, Hutu calculated the profits in his study.

There was a lot of new money in today's income, and he wanted to distribute it bit by bit.

The wine business is doing well. In fact, the hotel's business income is far less than that of wine today. When I was checking accounts with the Ganzhou wine merchant today, the wine merchant shook his head looking at the pile of money and told him to open a bank account and transfer all the odds and ends.

Deposit it in the bank, and then just go to the bank to transfer money after settlement.

It's convenient, just leave the money with someone else, don't you worry?

The wine merchant laughed, why are you worried about this little money? Even if you are worried, it would be better if you exchange it for gold and silver coins and hide them at home than a whole vat of copper coins.

After discussing with my wife, I planned to take a few coins to the bank tomorrow to try.

There was a knock on the door, and Hutu quickly wiped the money on the table into the box: "Come in."

But it was Li Sanmei: "The village in the south of the city sent a fat sheep over, saying it is for tomorrow's distinguished guests."

Hutu asked: "Third sister, has Hu Da said who the distinguished guest is?"

Li Sanmei said: "Not really, but if Hu Da said he is an honored guest, it must be quite a big deal."

Hutu nodded: "Yes, Hu Da's winter vegetable garden is very precious. Last time I came here, I even said that I would supply vegetables to the Capital Transportation Department..."

Li Sanmei pouted: "It's still the method Yixi Weishe taught him. In the past, his winter vegetable garden only produced some spinach and green garlic sprouts."

Hutu took Li Sanmei's hand and said, "Xia Kingdom's fate has changed. Your second brother is also unlucky. He finally entered the Palace Division and lost his job in the blink of an eye. Otherwise, next time he goes out to the Great Valley, let him

Are you going with him to do business with the Tatars?"

Li Sanmei glared at him: "You are kind-hearted, but my brother didn't have good intentions when he was planning to marry me. If he asked me to have a baby, you think he has changed his gender? I don't agree."

"If you want to talk to him again, wait until you have a child. Once you have a child, Ruishenghao will still belong to your family."

This daughter-in-law is really determined!

Early the next morning, Hutu got up and asked his assistants to kill the sheep and save the blood. If the guests didn't want it, he could still sell the vermicelli soup for fifteen cents a bowl.

The Xia people also had two meals now, and the Ruisheng's best business was breakfast. It was so busy that all the breakfast guests dispersed, and a new army came and surrounded the Ruisheng.

After a while, several horses came. Hutu shouted happily when he saw it: "Third sister, third sister, it's Yixi Weishe!"

It was Su You, Li Shunju, Shen Kuo, Zeng Bu, Chao Buzhi, Li Ji and Liang Yiduo who came.

When several people got rid of the horse, Su You smiled at Hutu and said: "Old Hutou, the one who wants to pay is here!"

Hutu quickly bowed and said, "No matter what Yixi Weishe said, the sheep are all bought and delivered. I am just selling my strength."

Li Ji has often attended Su You's lectures recently. Although he is much older than Su You, he admires Su You very much.

The Weiming clan has now changed their surname to Li and wears Han clothes. For him who used to secretly wear Confucian clothes at home, there is nothing unacceptable.

He knew that the Xia Kingdom could no longer return. Once the decree to abolish slaves and eliminate farmland was issued, the Xia Kingdom would never be able to return.

Even if you don't want to farm, using the Song people's method of grazing two hundred acres is enough for a family of three.

Farming has made it easier to save money. The Han people controlled 26 counties and immigrated 300,000 people. Except for the three hundred miles of dry sea, it is still deserted. In addition, the serf status was lifted and the number of Han households in each county expanded. The number of Han people in Ningxia suddenly increased a lot.

The population gap has almost been filled.

The Weiming family's land and cattle and horses were not touched by Su You, but the land needed to be cultivated and the cattle and horses needed to be grazed.

Most people happily took their land deeds and became registered citizens, while those who were willing to continue to live a life dependent on the nobility also signed contracts and became hired workers under official supervision, and the employment standards were also set.

As for the original Shangba surnames of Xia State, Su You used the industrial and commercial transformation model to absorb them into the construction of the Three Roads.

Suyou's plan for No. 3 Road is very large. Next year Xingqing Jiuqu will begin vigorous renovation, and the number of acres will increase.

Reservoirs and main canals will be built on both sides of the Blackwater and Daquan River in Shazhou, and the farming area will be further expanded.

All of this requires recruiting workers, and the foreman is Shangba, but the River Canal Department will send people to supervise to ensure that the wages can be paid to the workers.

The advantage of going to the eighth surname is that you can use this as a certificate of submission to get a higher-level admission ticket - factory building infrastructure and city.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Even relatives, in the face of a better life, it is difficult to restrain them from choosing a better life.

However, wherever there are people in this world, there will always be some reactionaries. For example, there are also old aristocrats who think that their rights have been violated.

When autumn matures in September, a large amount of land is harvested, green storage and dry storage are stored, which requires a large number of people.

The two tribal leaders of the former Xixia noble Fangdang clan, brothers Fang Heqian and Fang Hemin, entangled their private soldiers to intercept the slaves of the original tribe who were willing to go and attach themselves to the big city. As a result, they used knives, bows and arrows, killing more than a dozen tribesmen.

When Su You heard this, he was furious and ordered Fang Gui, the former Xia Dynasty general who was still in labor reform and the leader of the Fangdang clan, to select Fang's old tribe among the prisoners and go back to rectify his family.

Fang Gui took action, Fang He took action, and Fang Hemin's private army was immediately disbanded. Fang Gui took the heads of the two men in return for Su You, and Su You was ordered to hang them in front of Xingzhou City in public display.

As a result, Fang Gui's three-year "re-education through labor" period was waived. Su You awarded him the title of Huaizhou regiment training officer and rewarded him with many large machines. Fang became one of the eight surnames who were most effective in promoting the Song Dynasty system besides Wei Ming.

one.

However, this incident also sounded the alarm for Su You, so he mobilized the eight surnames to form a cavalry army and went to Lanzhou to participate in the war under Li Xian.

In fact, the good life of the Shangba surname has always been achieved through military exploits and robbery, which is somewhat similar to the Tian family in Kuizhou back then.

Relying on these people, the Xia Kingdom can hold on to the neighboring countries for decades without losing its prestige. If its combat power is used well, everyone who encounters it will have a drink.

Therefore, in the autumn of this year, after the three routes had massive savings, Su You ordered each of the eight surnames to select 10,000 elites as the defense force of the three routes, called the "Eight Division Army".

According to the principle of separation of military and political affairs, the grain and fodder were controlled by the magistrate, and the defender was a Song general who guarded the northern border of the original Xia Kingdom.

Many systems and methods were devised by Su You who gathered the original Xixia ruling class, the Hexi gentry class representing the middle and lower classes, and the officials and generals representing the interests of the Song people to brainstorm and discuss.

What most admired the Xia people about Yixi Weishe was that he gave the Xia people enough respect. He did not hesitate to praise or adopt the desirable parts of the Xia people's governance methods.

For example, Mobei is still in a semi-autonomous state now. Su You only sent law enforcement officers, and the law enforcement officers are still the original Xia people. This means that it basically remains the same, with only a few minor improvements.

The governance of the twenty-six prefectures and counties was fully Chineseized, and farming, industry, commerce, and schools were vigorously promoted. The gentry was greatly used to sort out the population and land, and in a blink of an eye, it was strictly controlled.

Coupled with the prosperous Silk Road, Li Ji believed that this was the most ideal Xixia in his mind.

For this reason, he and Liang Yiduo had worked extremely hard over the past year.

Su You was also grateful for the two's sincere help and specially invited them to dinner today.

Su You, Li Shunju, Shen Kuo, Zeng Bu, Chao Buzhi, as well as Li Ji and Liang Yi are now the top administrative team of the Du Transportation Department, Ningxia Transportation Department, Henan Transportation Department, and Xingzhou.

It is not easy for everyone to get together in one place. Even so, Fan Chunren from the Hexi Transportation Department is still missing.

Fan Chunren didn't come to Xingzhou to flatter Shangguan. At the end of the year, the government affairs were a little quiet, so he immediately brought his lunch box and went to Shazhou to work for Ouyang Fa and Liu Fengshi for free... He didn't go to study Dunhuang archeology.

The all-sheep banquet is not the highest level of banquet in Ningxia, the higher level is the camel banquet.

However, Su You was not so arrogant, so he asked Dongcai Zhuangzi in the south of the city to choose the best Tan sheep as a gift.

Chef Zhou came over at dawn with his two apprentices. Hu Tu and Li Sanmei were in charge of Ruishenghao’s specialty large hard dishes, while Chef Zhou was in charge of the exquisite Su family dishes.

Su's cuisine is much better than Ruisheng Hao in cooking the dirty dishes, and after the dishes are prepared, they are beautifully presented and there is no trace of the "cheap ingredients" at all.

A dozen silver plates filled the table, as well as tall Western glasses and wine in glass jugs. The layout of the scene, the service process, and the order of serving dishes were all full of knowledge, which made the shrewd Hutu
Chapter completed!
