Li Zhao is in a meeting.

Mainly people from the two major townships. They have learned well and listened to Li Zhao's words.

As long as you hold it steady, money will come in loudly.

No one realized that Li Zhao's influence had unknowingly expanded to this extent.

After Li Zhao finished the meeting with them, they immediately went back to clean up.

Li Zhao emphasized in the meeting that gouging or raising prices was not allowed, and those caught would be severely punished. As for the wealthy families who came to visit, Li Zhao ignored them and told the outside world that he would only accept people who had purchased threshing machines here. and windmill people.

There was an uproar and noise outside.

The man who had purchased the threshing machine and the windmill walked into Li Zhao's tent as though he was a relative, and signed a new agreement with Li Zhao under the envious eyes of countless wealthy family members.

The rich and aristocratic families have learned well and are given a lot of money.

They wanted to take the opportunity to please Li Zhao so that Li Zhao could concentrate on making tools for them without any worries.

Of course, Li Zhao would reciprocate the favor and express his acceptance, and everyone was happy.

Li Zhong has been smiling from ear to ear recently because he has too much money.

You can’t spend it all, you can’t spend it all.

Li Zhao never looked at the account books. Li Zhong, Qian Duoduo and others were doing this.

Now, he has passed the stage where he is not short of money.

Next, he can make drastic changes to create his own real paradise.

As for those who want to buy tools, Li Zhao has no plans to deal with them for the time being.

It was too expensive for you to buy before, but now you want to buy it? no way.

As everyone knows, free tools are not easy to come by.

A group of caravans from aristocratic families such as Xue Jingwen and Shen Zhaolin finally arrived. Their appearance did not attract too many people's attention. There were too many people coming and going recently. Everyone was busy running for the future of the family and had no intention of paying attention to this little man. Group of people.

The caravan of Xue Jingwen and others entered the market smoothly.

Villagers in all major villages followed Li Zhao's lead.

Even the former Qianjiazhuang is now very honest. No matter what arrangements Li Zhao has, they are the first to rush forward.

They repeatedly stated that they were stupid in the past and hoped that His Highness Prince You would not care about it.

Of course Li Zhao wouldn't care because he was very busy.

When all the villagers had gathered, Li Zhao said: "Time is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense."

"All old farmers who know how to plow the fields should come forward!"

Countless people stood up, looking excited.

"The Quyuan plow is very easy to control. I only have one request, that is, don't hurt yourself and the ox!" Li Zhaodao: "People who know how to plow the fields should all get tools and oxen to plow the land in a unified manner, and strive to do it within the five-year period." All the land will be plowed within one day.”

"yes!"

"When the land is plowed, I will fulfill my original promise!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people couldn't help grinning, and some even knelt down and kowtowed on the spot.

"I told you, don't kowtow when you have nothing to do." Li Zhao said in a joking tone: "The weather has turned cold recently and the paddy fields are a bit cold. Everyone should pay more attention."

"start!"

"yes!"

Everyone is familiar with Li Zhao, so there is no need to be hypocritical and polite.

When Li Zhao called to start work, everyone immediately found what they wanted to do.

Li Zhao carefully investigated and found that there are not many fields in the areas centered on Longmen Village. There are still many fertile wastelands and grasslands that can actually be reclaimed.

He took the people back to the camp, Xiaohong was responsible for grinding, and Li Zhao began to draw the drawings.

He plans to consolidate resources. The current layout will not be changed for the time being, but some plans must be prepared in advance.

In the next five to ten years, food will still be in short supply, and Li Zhao is not so arrogant that he can feed all the people by just making something to improve productivity.

Even now, the people here have just passed the point of having something to eat at every meal. There is still a long way to go before everyone has food and enough to eat.

"After all the fields have been plowed, divide the fields first, then open up wasteland, fertilize, and cultivate the fields. You can start farming in the next spring. It doesn't matter if the yield is a little lower, but it is better than nothing." Li Zhao murmured to himself: "Food and money With that, the next step is water conservancy engineering.”

Under Li Zhao's leadership, Hailong County was filled with vitality.

No matter the aristocratic family or the common people, they have all benefited from it.

Li Zhao was mainly responsible for controlling the overall situation and did not take care of other matters. The market was completely delegated to Li Zhong.

Li Zhong wears many hats but never gets tired of them.

Li Zhao wanted to feel sorry for him and arrange less things for him, but Li Zhong was not happy.

In his opinion, only Li Zhao's continued use of him is his affirmation.

Therefore, Li Zhao did not bother to correct this concept.

Soon, Li Zhao also gave a plan, and today's Cross Street Market finally ushered in its first transformation.

This is the first large-scale change of the market since Li Zhao came here four months ago.

The original market had only a few pillars, plus a roof to protect it from wind and rain, and it was ventilated on all sides.

This time, the main purpose of the expansion of the market is to build decent small houses.

The main structure remains unchanged for the time being, and the main purpose is to install walls around it.

Although it is not a big transformation, it is definitely a great joy for the caravans from Xue Jingwen, Shen Zhaolin and other aristocratic families who have just arrived here.

They feel from the bottom of their hearts that they are valued.

Although this expansion had long been in Li Zhao's plan, it just happened to be caught up by this group of people.

After making arrangements for the market, Li Zhao stopped taking care of it.

When the time comes, he will conduct random inspections. What he is mainly focusing on now is the fields.

Fortunately, when he first came here, Li Zhao paid enough attention to poultry and livestock. After these four months of domestication, they can be said to be a fat batch.

The number of single oxen is definitely the highest in the Wu Kingdom.

Apart from Li Zhao, Wu Guo could not find anyone else who raised so many cattle.

More than 1,500 cows were dispatched collectively, which is equivalent to more than 1,500 Quyuan plows being dispatched collectively. How could this speed be slow?

The remaining cows and calves continue to recuperate in the cowshed.

In the spring of next year, there will be more places where cattle are used, but Li Zhao doesn't think the current cattle are enough.

Five days later, all the fields owned by Li Zhao had been cultivated.

After five days of non-stop farming, the people could not hide their tiredness on their bodies and faces, but their eyes were shining.

This morning, there were huge crowds of people.

However, most of the people watching this time were ordinary people, and there were also children from aristocratic families, but they did not account for a large proportion of the overall number.

"You didn't lie to me, did you? King You really plans to share the land for free?"

Many members of the family were almost shocked when they heard the news.

Land, this is everyone's lifeblood. How dare Li Zhao do this?

If he took the lead, wouldn't he be the enemy of the noble family?

But after thinking about it again, it seemed reasonable.

Because this is exactly Li Zhao's behavior.

Others care about land, but Li Zhao may not really care.

Therefore, many members of the aristocratic family came to join in the fun. They wanted to make sure whether Li Zhao would really be so generous?

You know, there are quite a lot of people working with Li Zhao. If every household is allocated one acre of land, more than half of the more than 30,000 acres will be taken away.

There are more and more people.

"Will King You really break up?"

"It must be fake. These are top-grade fields. Even buying them costs a lot of money."

"That's right, I don't believe that King You will break up."
