Chapter 163 A good horse grows on his legs, and a good man grows on his mouth


It's still a small county town far away from the emperor with a high mountain, but somehow, Wu Shi Tong suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

But thinking about it, if he really gave up the life of Chang'an City, Lao Wu was a little reluctant, after all, Chang'an is the most prosperous capital of the Tang Dynasty, not an ordinary small place that can be compared.

It's like now, a huge county town outside is actually pitch black, and you can't even hear the dog barking, which is enough to show that the nightlife of Shanyin County is backward, if it is in Chang'an, now is a good time to go out to visit the Qinglou and drink flower wine.

Thinking about some of the things that were not available, Wu Shi Tong asked casually: "Virtuous nephew, how many people does your Sanyin County have now?"

"Probably less than 8,000 households."

Li Muyun stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth and said casually.

"Poof", Lao Wu squirted out a mouthful of old wine, his eyes widened and asked, "How much do you say?"

"Uh, oh, nine thousand, nine thousand."

Before Li Muyun could answer, he saw Sun Liang, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, gestured to a nine, so he hurriedly changed his words.

Wu Shi Tong looked at Li Muyun speechlessly, if I am not mistaken, it seems that Shuozhou Mansion has a total population of only about 5,000 households, how can there be 9,000 households in Shanyin County, is Shanyin County not under the jurisdiction of Shuozhou Prefecture Li Muyun naturally knew why Lao Wu was in a daze, but pretending to be a calf had almost become his innate instinct, and he pretended to be very strange at the moment and asked, "What's wrong with Uncle, but what's wrong?"

"Of course it's not right, when the old man came, he passed through Shuozhou, and the assassin Han Fu said that there are more than 5,800 households in the entire Shuozhou, why do you have 9,000 households in Shanyin County, why is your county more populous than the entire prefecture and city" There was a strange expression on the face of the warrior Tong, and after thinking about it, he said: "Virtuous nephew, this kind of thing must not be boasted about, you must know that the household department has to collect taxes according to your total population." ” "Alas, in fact, this matter is also the fault of the little nephew."

Li Muyun sighed fakely: "You also know that some time ago in Chang'an, didn't I ask the emperor for a letter that could recruit fugitives. ” "Hmm."

Samurai nodded.

"As a result, after the little nephew came back, he opened his mouth and recruited the fugitives from the past, but he didn't want more and more people, when he opened it was still one household and two households, and then it was ten households and eight households, and now it is almost hundreds of households and hundreds of households come in every day, and the little nephew doesn't know how to report the number of people."

Although Li Muyun was sighing, even a blind man could hear the pride in his tone.

Yes, the total population of a county is overwhelming the entire state capital, and it is a strange news to put it anywhere, and this happened in just half a year.

If we wait until the second half of the year, the entire Khitan Dieshu tribe will move over, and it is estimated that the total population of Shanyin County will immediately reach three or four times that of the entire Shuozhou Prefecture.

In other words, Li Muyun relied on his own county to make the population reach the level of a central state.

You must know that the states and counties of Datang are divided into upper, middle and lower, of which the states with less than 20,000 households are Xiazhou, more than 20,000 are Zhongzhou, and Shangzhou is more than 40,000 households.

The population of Shuozhou Prefecture was more than 5,000 households in the past, so it was for Xiazhou, but after Li Muyun recruited the population, he immediately remembered that the population of Shanyin County could reach two people and 10,000 households.

This is completely ruining the existence of the three views, Wu Shi Tong could not have imagined that Li Muyun has only not seen this guy for half a year, and he has developed a county to this extent, if you don't consider that this guy has just fought more than 50 people, just with the credit of recruiting the population, it is enough for him to be promoted to the third level.

However, when the population increased, the problem naturally came, and the samurai Tong soon realized a serious problem, so he asked in a deep voice: "Nephew, you have suddenly increased the population so much, how to distribute the land and how to solve the problem of farming If it is autumn, there is not enough food."

"Uncle rest assured, the little nephew has already considered this matter, in terms of farming, the collective farming method adopted by the little nephew, specially borrowed fifty ploughing cattle from Han Thorn, and then borrowed more than 400 heads from the Mobei grassland, with these hundreds of cattle, thousands of acres of land can be cultivated in one day, and under the continuous reclamation, the land is now only a lot more than the number of people."

"The other thing is the question of what to plant, because some of the fugitives were naturalized later and missed the time for spring planting, so our county arranged for them to plant some soy products, and in the autumn, they can use those soy products in exchange for food."

"You must also know that the last thing that the little nephew lacks in his hands now is food, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to feed them."

Of course, Wu Shitong knew that Li Muyun was not short of food, and if it weren't for these grains, he wouldn't have turned against Han Ai, that old thing.

And just when Wu Shitong nodded to show that he understood, he heard Li Muyun speak again: "Originally, the little nephew still thought that there was a black stone mine in the county, but the later fugitives didn't have time to farm, so they went to the mine to dig some black stones, and then the little nephew may also give them food according to how many black stones they dug up." ” "But I never thought that the black stone mine would be occupied by the bandits, so the little nephew made a decision to exterminate them because of a hurry, although this matter is the little nephew reckless, but the little nephew is also afraid of causing a civil uprising, after all, those people need to eat, if the mine they rely on for survival is occupied, the county has not yet expressed anything, if those people make trouble, it is more powerful than killing those bandits."

I have to say that Li Muyun has already fooled Lao Wu a little bit with this mouth, and he kept nodding his head while listening to him, at this time he even felt that those bandits really deserved to be killed, and not killing them was not enough to make the people angry, although those bandits knew that they were sent by the Wang family as long as they were individuals.

But what does it matter, after all, Li Muyun has to feed tens of thousands of people, for the sake of the anger of the people, is it wrong to kill a few broken households, if not, the Wang family will not return the mine to him, will he wait for the people to make trouble Thinking of this, Wu Shitong already knew how to explain this matter to Li Shimin after returning to Beijing, and even Lao Wu dared to guarantee that if the situation in Shanyin County was explained to the emperor, it was estimated that Li Muyun would not only not be punished, but would most likely be rewarded.

As for those who said that the Wang family died, if they die, they will die, and they should not be important people anyway.

And a discerning person can see at a glance that this incident is purely deliberately framed by someone, and it has nothing to do with Li Muyun at all
