No matter what, Old Mrs. Ye didn't think she was qualified to enjoy 3,000 household fiefs. The fiefs she received after fighting for more than half a year were obtained by killing the Khitan emperor. It was too unreasonable to obtain by just hatching eggs and raising chickens. What's more, this method was what Ye Hua thought, and she just helped to realize it.

Ye family could not argue with Li Gu, so they could only let Ye Hua tell him that he would ask His Majesty to take back his life.

"Your Majesty will not take back the order, and I also think that fief is for granted!"

Li Gu smiled and said, "Champion Hou, I have gained a lot of knowledge these days. You are right. It is impossible to let everyone plow the fields. Some people have great strength, some people have little strength, some people can have sons, and some people can't have sons. If there is a few decades, the difference will occur, and the equal-field system cannot be maintained. Therefore, you suggest that you encourage industry and commerce and walk on two legs. This suggestion is very clever! But how to encourage industry and commerce, and what are the rewards?"

"The old lady invented the method of hatching eggs is very good. Without the need for young and strong labor, ordinary women and children can hatch eggs and raise chickens at home. It doesn't take much effort to sell them to make money. If everyone has an egg every day and can eat chicken once every ten days, the world will be prosperous!"

Li Gu looked full of longing, as if he had set a great goal.

Ye Hua couldn't say anything, poverty restricted the Prime Minister's imagination...but Li Gu's ideas refreshed Ye Hua.

This guy has a good brain power. Encouraging side jobs such as breeding and digesting too much labor is indeed a way to alleviate land annexation. Even if you take a step back, land annexation will still be the same. People who have no land can still make a living by breeding... Just raising chickens, promoted to the entire Dazhou, and solving the employment of hundreds of thousands of people is not difficult. If you look at it this way, it makes sense to give the old lady 3,000 fiefs!

ah!

Ye Hua suddenly browed and his fists clenched!

"Mr. Li, you are very calculating!"

Ye Hua was angry and Li Gu smiled.

"Champion Hou, I thought you could figure it out immediately, but it seemed that it was still not time to ignite the fire!" The old guy laughed at Ye Hua without hesitation. Ye Hua wanted to grab him, tear his annoying old face to pieces, and throw it on the ground to feed the chickens!

He didn't give the old lady a fief, it was clearly asking the old lady to teach these people to hatch eggs and raise chickens, and then supply Kaifeng's needs. He was full of calculating and even came to pass the orders to sell them, which was simply a beggar!

"Grandmother is old and can't stand the drive!" Ye Hua gritted his teeth and refused flatly.

Li Gu didn't care either, "It's okay, if Champion Hou is willing to do it for him, I don't care!"

"You... need feed and venue for raising chickens, and I don't have money!"

"I've thought about it all for you." Li Gu took out a map and drew a circle on the east side of Kaifeng, including the village where Ye Hua originally lived, a total of more than a dozen villages, all between the Bian River and the Wuzhang River. The land is flat and fertile, which is most suitable for farming.

"Campoke Hou, you and the old lady have a total of 6,000 households. Each household has two-man resident, and 200 mu of land is granted, totaling 1.2 million mu, and 300,000 mu are actually granted, all of which are here!"

Ye Hua was quite happy to hear that he had 1.2 million mu. He thought he gave a lot, but he suddenly discounted 300,000 mu. Ye Hua widened his eyes.

"Mr. Li, I need an explanation. Did you embezzle all my fields?"

Li Gu waved his hand repeatedly, "Campoke Hou, you have wronged me. Kaifeng is already densely populated. After the saint ascended the throne, more than 100,000 people came from Hedong and Yanyun. With the generals in the army, the land was not enough. If you think it was too little, then I would have to give you land to you west of Kaifeng or further away. Or I would arrange it for you in Chang'an, Qinzhou, and Fengzhou?"

Ye Hua was completely defeated by the old scoundrel, "Why don't you seal me to Yizhou?"

Li Gu smiled and said, "When the saint destroys Shu Kingdom, I will definitely do what you wish!"

Seeing Ye Hua stand up with his eyebrows, Li Gu hurriedly explained: "Don't look down on this place. It has sufficient water sources, convenient irrigation, and the land is fertile and oily. All 300,000 mu of grain are planted. The annual production can be as good as a low-level mansion. Don't be unsatisfied!"

Ye Hua snorted, "If I only know how to grow grain, would you be willing to give me such a large piece of land?"

Li Gu blinked and suddenly laughed: "You finally admit that this land is not small... Okay, I still have something to do, so say goodbye!"

The man patted his butt and left with his big sleeves.

Ye Hua spat hard at her back!

These old guys are all monkeys who have become sperm. They suffer some losses and immediately find a way to make up for it. It seems that they have given me a lot of benefits, but they are forcing me to work for him. It's really a good plan!

Ye Hua was dejected and told the story when he saw his grandmother.

"Big Mom, don't be guilty. Li Gu's hand is beautiful. Buying horse bones with a thousand pounds not only encourages craftsmen, but also forces us to work, and the best of both worlds."

After pondering for a while, he suddenly stretched out his finger and lit Ye Hua's forehead, "Do you think that the eldest mother is old and useless, and is a useless old bone?"

Seeing that the old lady was angry, she waved her hand in a hurry, "No, absolutely not!"

Ye snorted, "I don't know if you dare, don't stand there. It's February now, and it's not far from spring plowing. You can't miss the farming season! You are all too young and have never planted the land. I don't know what to do. My eldest mother has to teach you well!"

The old lady was still a practical person. She found out her old clothes, moved all the farm tools that were flattened in the back garden, put them on a carriage, and waited to leave the city early tomorrow morning.

It would be fine if it was just an old lady. At night, Zhao Kuangyin's mother Du, daughter-in-law He, and even Chai Rong's wife Fu, came. Several women surrounded the old lady Ye and chatted happily.

Ye told them about farming and raising silkworms. Several people listened with relish and remembered them all. Ye Hua was also thinking about the wealthy and noble ladies who were willing to work on their own!

But in fact, it is very different.

Not to mention them, even in the palace, Guo Wei set up the Guanjia Palace and the Silkworm Palace in the palace. When it comes to farming, he will personally support the plows and plow the fields. The nobles in the harem will raise silkworms and reel silk, and they will not be careless at all.

Now is not a prosperous era of wealth and prosperity. Everything is in trouble and the palace cannot be spared, let alone a family of officials.

No one's life is rich, and they have a lot of food, clothing, and flowers. Everyone doesn't mind doing it yourself, let alone anyone who doesn't want to see with his own eyes how big the land the court gave.

After a while, the old lady of Ye took a group of women out.

Ye Hua, Zhao Kuangyin, and a group of other guys followed obediently, came out of the city gate, and arrived at his own territory. Ye Hua had only one feeling, that is, big!

It's really too big!

He rode his horse, ran towards the spring breeze, and sweated all over his body. He reached the border to the north. In front of him was the wide Wuzhang River, and there were canal boats passing by from time to time. The boatman by the river was bare-armed, and the ropes were tied into his flesh, shouting horns in unison, dull as thunder, moving forward steadily little by little!

Seeing this scene, Ye Hua was immediately overjoyed!

There is a river and a ship, so there is great potential!

Ye Hua hurriedly looked out the map and carefully checked it. Wuzhang River communicated with Jishui. Along the Jishui River, it could pass all the way to Laizhou along the coast!

It’s really wonderful to be able to transport rivers and seas in combination!

In Ye Hua's eyes, the Wuzhang River has become a river of wealth flowing with mountains of gold and silver! The canal alone is worth it!

Ye Hua didn't complain at all at this time. He wanted to give Li Gu a banner.

It took me half a day to circle around my own territory, satisfied. How many things can I do in such a big place!
Chapter completed!
