Ten years is actually not a long time, but there are real earth-shaking changes in Bashang.
The road to Bashang is wide and flat, capable of four cars in parallel.
Even in the rainy season of late spring, the road is still not a little muddy and difficult to walk, let alone turned over.
The road was paved with sand and gravel, and there were willow trees on both sides, which were already full of green silk at this time.
The Li family father and son returned.
The villagers and neighbors in Bailu Town have all rushed over, and the Li family's industries such as Bashang wine workshop, paper workshop, and bookstore, the stewards naturally have to rush to see the owner.
The teachers of Bailu Academy are naturally also coming.
Then the inner and outer three layers of the Li family cave were surrounded by no one at all, and there were boiling voices and excited crowds everywhere.
The door of the Li family was also broken, the threshold was also broken, and seeing that the courtyard in the cave was about to have a stampede accident, in the end, Li Chao had to let the officers and soldiers open the way, and the whole family went to the Li family's house.
Then Li Chao took everyone directly to the field outside the town.
Most people don't know Li Chao, the county order is no longer the original county order, and the neighbors have changed.
Looking at those unfamiliar faces, the smile on Daddy's face seemed to be a little numb.
When he returned to his hometown, he wanted to see the old acquaintances here, rather than the way it is now, where everyone came to watch and said all kinds of flattering words.
Daddy didn't like it.
In fact, Li Chao doesn't like it either.
After a day of noisy, I finally invited everyone away.
In the evening, Daddy's meal is not fragrant.
Sitting at the table, sighing.
"Dad, I'll close the door tomorrow and I won't see those people.
But after dinner, you have to meet a few guests. ” "Nobody's gone, tired."
Daddy said.
"My neighbor is gone."
There were hundreds of soldiers guarding the door, and the mansion finally fell silent.
In the flower hall, as soon as Dad entered the door, he saw a few familiar faces.
"Muramasa, Lizheng, Ke Wu."
Daddy excitedly called out their names.
"Luo Guogong."
A few people stood up and bowed with some restraint, and the old iron spear passed, "What are you doing here, your own family still holds this customary ceremony." ” Seeing that although the old iron spear is now developed and rich, it is still the same as in the past, everyone is also much more relaxed.
There are those who call brother, there are those who call brother, and there are those who call uncle.
Everyone laughed and sat down again.
"Didn't you go to Longyou, why did you come back again?"
asked Daddy.
When Li Chao was in Longyou as the protector and assassin of the capital, many of the children of Guanzhong were transferred to government soldiers and stayed there to settle down.
The family members also moved over, and many people in Guanzhong also moved over.
Immigrants settled and divided the land into land.
In the village, Ke's father and son Ke Wu also migrated over, divided the land there, and bought houses.
Later, Li Chao returned to Beijing, and they still stayed there.
Father Ke was wearing a silk robe, and his dress was no longer the poor he used to be.
Back then, Daddy Ke's family also helped Li Chao make pasta, plates, and kang to change the stove.
"The home is still in Longyou, and the family is very good now.
But we started trading many years ago.
It's all by Saburo's light, and we lean on our thighs and do some business behind Saburo's firm.
Over the years, business has been doing well. ” Father Ke and his son are in Longyou, and now they are a little famous, and they do wool spinning.
Every year, wool and cashmere are purchased from the Fan Han herdsmen in Longyou, and then processed and spun into wool, and then sold to the Li family's trading house.
With the relationship of the Li family, their business is doing very well, and even now they have done it in Subi and Tubo.

Now he has become the number one wool merchant in Longyou, and his family wealth has long been more than 100,000.
The Ke family now has a large number of pastures and farms in Longyou, not to mention that the businesses have already opened in Chang'an, and they also opened one in Bailu Town.
I also built a house here, a very big house, not far from the Li family.
"Every year, our grandfather will come back to worship the ancestors and see his hometown."
"Thanks to you two brothers, we have such a good life now."
Ke Wu is still an officer, and he is also a lieutenant in Longyou, and he is a real officer.
"Are the other villagers who moved to Longyou okay?"
asked Li Chao.
"Okay, how can there be any bad reason.
When I first went, there were at least hundreds of acres of land, growing grain and raising cattle and sheep, and this day was becoming more and more prosperous day by day.
It's been more than ten years, and there has been no war, and we rely on the Southwest Silk Tea Trade Road, and we can do anything casually, it's all good. ” Everyone mentioned that in the past, life was tight, and it was often a lack of success, and it was even more sad when encountering natural disasters and chaos.
But in the past ten years, life has been smooth, and life has become more and more energetic day by day.
"The court is good, and the emperor is even more benevolent.
The tax is also less, the service is gone, and the industry and commerce are prosperous, and we are not afraid to do some business.
As long as you pay taxes according to the law, no one looks down on them.
I am still a member of the Taozhou Chamber of Commerce.
Even the history of thorns is quite polite to us.
"Father Ke was just a small village leader back then, and in his spare time, he took his son and apprentice to the hoop kiln to earn some chewing and supplementing.
But no matter how hard you fight, no matter how tired you are, it's almost the same every year, and you can't afford to make a new set of clothes all year round.
But now in just over ten years, his old Ke has become a rich man, not to mention, and his sons have become high-ranking officials, and he is a landlord and old wealthy, and he can often see the county order of the Assassin History, and even become a guest at the Assassin History banquet.
"San Lang, sometimes when I think about it, I feel like a dream, for fear that when I wake up, this dream will also wake up."
Father Ke sighed, "We met a good emperor, and we met a good time. ” Li Chao nodded beside him.
"Well, today we are indeed wise and benevolent, and sympathetic and loving to the people.
The implementation of the new policy is even more popular with the world. ” The poor people who did not have much land in the past, although they left their hometowns, they were also allocated to Xinduo fields, as long as the family can plant it, two or three hundred acres is not a problem.
Even like Father Ke, they were in Longyou at the beginning, which family did not divide three or five hundred acres.
This is simply unimaginable in the Central Plains.
Later, the imperial court abolished the rent and Yong adjustment, changed to two taxes, apportioned into the mu, and used money to serve in the field, which made the people a lot easier, especially the fixed field of the imperial court, never add the edict, and the people were really moved to cry.
Therefore, although many people have more land than they used to be, they have to pay less than they used to be.
And without the heavy Yao service, everyone's life is much easier.
"Before, it was useless to have strength.
There are only a few acres of land at home, and if you want to share a few more acres, you have to ask the landlords for mercy. finally managed to land a few acres, but the rent was also very heavy.
The family is old and young, tired and tired, and there are not a few grains of grain left all year round.
Juntian Juntian, a family only has dozens of acres of land, but it also has to be paid according to the amount of one hundred acres. ” Ke Wu said on the side, "Yes, there was no other place to make money in the past, when the farm was slack, I would go up to the mountains to hunt some game, or go to do some helpers for other people's families or something."
Those who have craftsmanship can still do craftsman's work, but the wages are pitiful. ” Many people sometimes wonder how the days have turned upside down in just over a decade.
In the past, everyone worked so diligently, but they couldn't eat enough.
Now, life is getting better and better.
Taxes have been reduced and opportunities to earn money have increased.
Even in everyone's field, you can plant whatever you want, and there is no limit.
If the price of cotton is high, you will plant cotton, and if the income of medicinal materials is good, you will plant medicinal materials, and anyway, when it comes to paying two taxes, you will directly discount the money and pay it.
You don't have to do annual labor, you can work in the slack time.
Especially in many families, some young men and girls have begun to work in the workshop.
The salary is not high, but in the end, it is much better than farming.
Even if one person works in the workshop, he can be as good as the family farming in the past.
It's sad to celebrate the New Year, and there is famine during the New Year.
Now there is more than every year, unless the family encounters three disasters and two diseases, red and white ceremonies, which family can't save some money in a year. is as bold as Daddy Ke, and he has already borrowed a relationship to start trading, and in just over ten years, he has become the richest man in a state.

"It feels like there's really gold everywhere now, and you can reach out and pick it up."
Father Ke sighed.
The old iron gun also sighed deeply, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the knife licked the blood, and ate the severed head rice tied to the waistband of his trousers, and he didn't know if he would survive tomorrow after today.
And now, he is already a prince of the country, has his own fief, and even has his own castle.
When several old buddies talked about the back, they all said that they met Mingjun and met the Maven.
The Tang Dynasty is a good court, and now it is a good emperor.
Even Li Chao can feel how much Datang and Li Shimin are supported and loved in the hearts of the people today.
"I hope Your Majesty will live a long life, so that our good life can go on forever."
"Long live the emperor, as blessed as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan."
"Yes, hooray, hooray."
The lives of the people in Datang have generally improved a lot, and of course they are far from reaching the myth that everyone lives a well-off life.
Ke's family is relatively special, but it is true that the vast majority of the people benefited from the Zhenguan New Deal, because of the distribution of fields, especially immigrants, and the two tax laws to reduce the burden, and the prosperity of industry and commerce, and gave the people other large income channels in addition to farming income.
At present, the vast majority of the people have been able to eat enough, and only a very small number of people have not had enough to eat, and most of them have returned to poverty due to illness.
In addition, there are still many more remote places, although there are more fields in hand than in the past, but just farming, in fact, the income is still very low, if something happens, it may not be enough to make ends meet, and you will have to borrow money.
Now it is the slaves who live in a worse place.
The slave group in the Tang Dynasty is still very large, and while the living standards of the people in the Tang Dynasty are rising, the expanding slave class is not even free.
Nowadays, the number of slaves in Datang is quite large, as many as 10 million, and they live and work in farms, mines, and workshops in Datang, and even among wealthy families.
However, these good days of the people of Datang are also relatively special, and they can be regarded as dividends enjoyed by Datang's strong expansion.
If after a few decades and a hundred years, the land that the people had previously received for free may be transferred and annexed to a very small number of people for various reasons.
Most people will still become landless peasants, or only keep a small amount of land, and they may become the working class of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no land as the foundation of survival.
After the Qingming period of the early Tang Dynasty, the rule of officials will definitely get worse and worse, and the burden on the people will definitely become heavier and heavier.
Nowadays, social resources are a process of distribution, and slowly, it will become a process of reconcentration of wealth.
When Datang stops expanding externally one day, and even begins to lose its frontier territory and shrink inward, when the population of Datang increases dramatically, there will definitely be many new problems.
But now, it really is the best time in thousands of years. t1706231537:
