The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Therefore, after every rain, the water source in the canal on the farm becomes abundant.

Now it's good, because of a spring rain, the crops in the field don't have to worry about drought.

After saving the time of watering the land, Li Fu hurriedly asked people to start building a granary.

Not only the granary, but also Li Fuhe organized people to expand the canal on the farm.

The canal can not only store water better, but also facilitate the irrigation of farmers like the canals built on the farm last year.

The water conservancy system can't be completed in a year or two. It started to be built last year. First, the funds were not sufficient, and second, it was built in a hurry. Such a large farm will take a long time to build one after another. This is to take advantage of the farmers' free time to free up manpower.

After the spring plowing, there are more people who are idle, not only the people on Li Fu's farm, but also people from outside, which is very convenient.

Some sheds and houses left on the farm last year have not been demolished yet, so even if they come, there is a place to live.

Li Fu also plans to build a temporary place for people to live, so that the craftsmen from outside will not have nowhere to live when they come from far away.

Now the two workshops have people and things to do, so it is no longer appropriate to use the workshops as places to live.

Now the workshops are full of urgent things, and people from outside can no longer go to the workshops.

In a few days, hundreds of young and strong people gathered on Li Fu's farm, some to build granaries, and some to build temporary houses.

Temporary houses do not need to be built so delicately, and they are all made of adobe bricks.

Li Fu found a piece of land far away from the farm and asked all the builders to dig soil from there.

Add hay and mud, use a square mold, stuff the mixed mud into the mold, and then remove the mold. After drying, you can use mud bricks to build a house.

Most of the houses that the people live in the countryside are made of mud bricks, and the roofs are covered with hay instead of tiles.

The farmers in the village still live in this kind of house. The best house in the whole village is the mansion of Li Fu's family. Although the mansion is almost 20 years old, it was built very exquisitely when it was bought and built.

After all, she is also the concubine of the third son of the Li family. Even if she can't be brought home, the old Li family is not short of money.

"Old Zhou, the granary in the village has started construction. I will give you a task." Li Fu said: "From now on, the price of purchasing grain must be appropriate. The old grain from last year or the year before will be fine."

If the grain in the granary is life-saving grain, it doesn't matter whether it is new grain or old grain. It can be stored in the granary for a long time.

At the beginning, Li Shimin discussed the reward with his ministers in the court. At that time, King Yi'an served the Tang Dynasty with Yongfeng Granary.

Yongfeng Warehouse was one of the four granaries of the Sui Dynasty. In this sense, King Yi'an contributed one-fourth of the world's savings to the Tang Dynasty, so he was named King Yi'an by Li Yuan.

The grain of the Sui Dynasty could be stored for several years. If it had not been taken out and consumed later, the grain inside could have continued to be stored.

When Li Shimin was rewarding, King Yi'an had nothing to do with it.

After all, he had been rewarded by Emperor Taizong Li Yuan in the Wude Year for his contribution to Yongfeng Warehouse.

Now it is not enough to bring this up again.

The Yongfeng Warehouse now is no longer filled with grain from the Sui Dynasty, but grain from the Wude Year of the Tang Dynasty.

"Sir, how much grain should we purchase?" asked Lao Zhou.

"Just collect as much as possible. The current plan on Zhuangzi is to build six granaries." Li Fu said.

Lao Zhou thought about it and pondered the materials bought after the New Year.

According to the plan of the young master, the six granaries are not small in scale...

"Young master, if we build so many granaries and really store grain, there may be some trouble. If we do something big, the court may not be able to accept it." Lao Zhou expressed his worries.

Even if the young master wants to make wine, one granary is enough.

Six...

How many granaries are there in Yongfeng Warehouse?

Is my young master not afraid that His Majesty will suspect him of plotting something bad?

Therefore, Lao Zhou also reminded Li Fu that if he really wants to purchase a large amount of grain, it is best to report to His Majesty to avoid suspicion in the court.

"Okay, I know, the granaries will be repaired first, and the grain will be collected first. As for His Majesty, I will write a memorial to the palace. The next time I go to Chang'an, I will enter the palace to meet the emperor and tell His Majesty about this matter."

Li Fu has not planned to return to Chang'an City these two days.

"Young master, there is one more thing. The person you sent out to find tea, sent a reply, the letter is on the table. "Old Zhou said.

Li Fu heard this, glanced at the desk in front of him, saw a letter on the desk, and picked it up.

The rough letter paper was sealed with wax on the outside. After Li Fu checked that the wax was intact, he opened it.

In Huizhou, tea mountains have been found. As expected, many people have been recruited there. However, if you want to build a tea house there, you still need to transfer a batch of funds from Chang'an City. By the end of March, the first batch of spring tea can be picked. If the tea house can be built before the end of March, then the picked tea leaves can be directly fried into finished products according to the method given by Li Fu.

The temperature is moderate in spring, there is abundant rain in the south, and the tea trees have been recuperating in winter for half a year. The spring tea buds are plump, green, and soft. Not only is the fragrance pleasant, but it is also rich in health care.

The main thing is that it has a high vitamin content.

Tang Dynasty In winter, it is difficult to get some green leafy vegetables. There are greenhouses in the palace, and only the emperor and empress can eat green leafy vegetables. In winter, it is a problem to supplement vitamins.

So it is necessary to drink some tea. Not only is tea fragrant, refreshing, and tastes good, but it can also supplement vitamins and amino acids.

Li Fu looked at the letter in his hand and thought that if it doesn't work, he would go to Huizhou in person.

If the new tea can enter Chang'an this year, it will be a very considerable income for the Jingyang Wangzhai.

Now the manor is making drastic changes, building granaries, collecting grain, and repairing canals. Li Fu calculated in his mind that the 130,000 strings of cash before the New Year were not enough. Even if the 20,000 strings of cash awarded by Li Shimin after the New Year were added, it was still stretched.

And the two houses in Chang'an City and the manor still have to make a living.

Although the business of changing eggs is stable, the income is a long-term stream.
