Entering the peach forest, a collapsed thatched hut caught everyone's eyes. Passing through the small peach grove, a small village appeared before everyone's eyes. In the village stood hundreds of thatched huts. These thatched huts Most of them have decayed under the erosion of the years, and only one or two still retain their original appearance.
"You protect Your Highness! You, you, you follow me." Qin Huaiyu ordered three people to walk into the village vigilantly, while Li Yin and Jin Daqian waited outside. Taking advantage of this time, Li Yin looked around the valley again , the length and width of this valley should be about 20 miles. Such an area is indeed not small, enough to move some confidential things here, and the terrain here is flat, except for a long hill in the middle that separates the valley. Open, it can be said that the mountains and rivers are complete.
Qin Huaiyu came back with people in a short while. He searched the whole village and found hundreds of bones. There was not a single living person in the village.
Hearing this, Li Yin and the others entered the village. Just as Qin Huaiyu said, there were bones lying all over the village. The clothes on these bones were completely corroded, and there were even corroded holes on some of the bones. The basic shape of the weapon is invisible.
"It seems that there used to be a small village here, but it was discovered later, and the people inside were massacred." Jin Daqian looked at the piles of bones and said regretfully. Such things are normal in this era. In the past few years, rebels frequently ransacked villages, and there was only one exit in this valley. Once the exit was sealed, no one inside would be able to escape.
"Qin Huaiyu, take other people to search the valley again and see what else you can find!" Li Yin said to Qin Huaiyu who was walking in front.
Hearing the words, Qin Huaiyu responded and directed several nursing homes to search in different directions.
Walking behind Li Yin, Jin Daqian asked again: "Is Your Highness satisfied with this place?"
"Very good. After you go back, you will arrange for your slaves to build a research institute in this valley, a small area to the north of the hill to build a military camp, and a larger one to the south for the research institute and workshop. I will give you the specific facilities after I go back. A blueprint." Li Yin pushed away a residential house, "Bury these dead bones, let them rest in the ground, as for these houses, they will be remodeled and given to slaves to live in."
Jin Daqian wrote it down bit by bit, and said: "Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it when I get back."
I have to say that this small valley is really a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. If it is in the 21st century, it can definitely be a five-a-level tourist attraction, but Li Yin has to destroy it now. In the future, it will be his secret military base and scientific research base. He will secretly increase the number of caravan guards recruited. On the surface it is 1,000 people, but in fact it will increase to 6,000, and 5,000 of them will all be stationed here. Li Yin will build an army of his own, Of course, it is still the guards of the prosperous Tang Chamber of Commerce on the bright side. This time the Guanlong nobles and Shandong gentry collectively attacked him, which made him very annoyed. Li Yin knew that if there was one time, there would be a second time. No matter what new things they come up with, they will still persecute Li Yin. Human greed cannot be satisfied, and he will never let these people insert tubes all over his body to **** his blood together.
Qin Huaiyu led people to search the entire valley. Except for some livestock, nothing else was found here, and there was only one exit when entering, and the rest were steep rock walls.
Such a valley can be said to be a very hidden place in this era. After wandering in the valley for a while, everyone returned to Yizhou City.
Back to the palace, Li Yin dived into the study, this incident made him realize that his strength was really weak, a sudden sense of urgency made him no longer able to be as leisurely as before.
What Li Yin is drawing now is the planning map of the military camp. This military camp will include a series of modern facilities such as the camp area, training ground, weapon depot, ammunition depot, and shooting range. On the side of the research institute, in addition to the research institute, an arsenal will also be built. Steelworks, there will be other more confidential things in the future. It took one night to draw the plan. The next morning, he handed it over to Jin Daqian. After Jin Daqian received the drawing, he immediately organized all the slaves. Go to the small valley called Taoyuan by Li Yin.
Li Yin was busy with the affairs of Taoyuan every day, time flies, Li Shimin's southern tour team finally arrived in Yizhou, after receiving the notification this morning, Li Yin immediately took Yizhou city officials, big and small, to the north gate to wait.
On the official road leading to Yizhou City, Li Shimin was riding a horse surrounded by guards. Li Shimin was a military commander and never liked riding in a carriage. Ma Qu, "Auxiliary machine, along the way, there are quite a lot of merchants traveling back and forth to Yizhou."
Changsun Wuji followed Li Shimin on a horse, and said, "That's natural. Nowadays, who of these businessmen don't know that there are many good things in the Shang Tang Chamber of Commerce, and they all sharpen their heads to go to Yizhou. They say that this **** has been used since You can buy it for ten renminbi in Yizhou, and when you get to Chang’an, you can change hands for 20 renminbi, so there’s no reason not to go to Yizhou as a businessman is after profit.”
On the right side of Li Shimin is Lu Jin, the doctor of Guanglu. He said: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness is really lucky to be favored by that Luo Anguo businessman, and to get so many amazing goods and skills. This time in Yizhou, Your Majesty Why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince to introduce that Luo Anguo businessman, and let Datang and Luo Anguo trade with each other from now on."
"Doctor Lu's words are wrong. This Luo Anguo businessman only has Liu Lang in his eyes. Maybe he is dismissive of other people. Let's not make things difficult for Liu Lang." Li Tai was also accompanying him. , he took the initiative to ask for a chauffeur.
Li Tai's words were aimed at Li Min on the surface, but in fact, they had malicious intentions hidden in them, in order to anger Li Shimin, which meant that the Luo Anguo businessman didn't even care about Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was the Ninth Five-Year King, so he couldn't be angry.
After listening to Li Tai's words, Li Shimin frowned slightly. How could he fail to understand Li Tai's meaning? This Luo Anguo has so many strange things, and he wants to see them without their reminders.
"The sons and ministers see the father!"
The bodyguards guarding Li Shimin were separated on both sides. Li Shimin rode a horse to the city of Yizhou.
Li Shimin got off his horse, helped Li Min up and said, "Excuse me!" After speaking, he looked up at Yizhou City for a while, "It's the first time I've been to Yizhou, and I didn't expect that the prosperity of Yizhou City would not be inferior. Yu Chang'an."
"The land of Shu is remote and has not been subject to war, so Yizhou can be so prosperous, but the prosperity is still much worse than that of Chang'an." Li Yin said respectfully. "Father, your palace, my servant is ready, let's go to the palace first!"
Li Shimin nodded, looked at the sky again, and said: "Well, it's getting late, let's take a good tour of Yizhou tomorrow, and Min'er will lead the way."
Li Yin responded, and led Li Shimin to the palace prepared for him. This palace belongs to the government and is specially used for entertaining officials. After Li Yin learned that Li Shimin was coming, he remodeled the courtyard. , to please Li Shimin will not do him any harm.
After entering Yizhou City, Li Shimin looked at the folk squares around him from time to time. When the people along the way saw them, they all stood on both sides and offered their bodies, not daring to raise their heads to violate the majesty of the emperor. It was clean and tidy, and it was rare to see disheveled beggars on the streets, so he said: "My son, there are still some vagrants who lost their land and became beggars on the streets of Chang'an, why can't I see them in Yizhou city? It will be to welcome me, you drove these beggars out of the city."
Li Yin walked beside Li Shimin, deliberately pushed Li Tai away, and said, "Father really wronged my minister. When I first came to Yizhou, there were indeed quite a few poorly clothed people on the streets of Yizhou." The beggars, but I looked carefully and found that these beggars were still able to work, so I asked them to go to the workshop to do what they could, and feed them every day. People do their best."
"Liu Lang is really a blessing to my Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, this beggar is said to have almost bought all the slaves in Chang'an. There should be seven or eight thousand people. It can be seen that the workshop in Yizhou is much larger than the one in Chang'an. If Liu Lang doesn't have enough manpower, I still have hundreds of servants in my house, and I'll send someone to bring them to you when I go back." Li Tai interjected inappropriately.
Li Yan thought to himself who would dare to use the servants you gave, but he had an incomparably pure smile on his face: "Fourth brother's heart is appreciated by Liu Lang, the craftsmen in this workshop are enough, so I don't bother fourth brother."
Li Shimin didn't answer Li Tai's words, but said to Li Min: "Make the best use of everything and make the best use of people. Min'er has a good idea, but no one can absorb these poor people except you. Hey, isn't this an underground pipeline?" Li Shimin noticed a round manhole cover on the side of the road.
"That's right, father, this is an underground pipeline. After my son arrived in Yizhou, he also transformed Yizhou."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "It's okay to repair the waterlogging in Chang'an, but is this also waterlogging in Yizhou? Otherwise, it would be a waste of money and people."
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Tai, Lu Jin, and Changsun Wuji all looked at Li Yin, waiting for his answer, thinking of watching a good show.
"Father, you don't know. The function of this underground pipe is not only for drainage, but also for composting. At the end of the sewage pipe in Chang'an, there is a large pond, which is the place for composting. Erchen, a former member of the Ministry of Industry, belonged to Wai Lang. At that time, I told Zhao Jie, the servant of the Ministry of Industry at that time, didn't he tell the father?" Li Min also felt strange, why Li Shimin didn't know about this, after he left office, that Zhao Jie took over him He even told him about his responsibilities, and he thought it was Zhao Jie who was absent-minded. Could it be that he didn't listen.
Li Shimin's brows furrowed even deeper, "I don't know about this!"
Li Yin continued: "Father, it's not too late to know, but it's a pity that I missed this year's spring plowing. Otherwise, if I use these fertilizers to farm, I can harvest 50% more grain per mu."
"Fifty percent!" Li Shimin's face became even more ugly, and he thought he should chop off Zhao Jie's head ten thousand times, "Min'er said that the winter wheat you plant can reach seven stones per mu, is it because of this fertilizer?" ?”
Li Yin understood that this matter cannot be concealed, but Li Shimin found an excuse for him. Li Yin said: "I did use fertilizer, and with careful care, the yield per mu reached seven stones!"
"The Sixth Highness's words are not exhaustive. It is said that the Sixth Highness got good seeds from Luo Anguo merchants, so that he can produce seven stones per mu."
A voice sounded after Li Yin finished speaking.
Li Yin looked in the direction of the sound. He was a fat man in a dark red official robe, and he looked ugly. He had rotten teeth and a mole under his right eye. He mentioned that at this time, Li Yin Both Tai and Changsun Wuji pricked up their ears.
Li Yin didn't know this person, and he didn't bother to know him, he said loudly: "Of course I will explain this matter clearly to my father, if I talk about it here, it will be bad if some people with bad intentions listen to it. "
