Chapter 248: New estate!
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yin continued: "You are the person I trust most, that's why I entrust you with such an errand. You must also know about the Yizhou fleet's expedition to Ryukyu."
"Yes, this old slave knows about it." Jin Daqian said.
Looking at the stretching fields, Li Min said: "As you said, this labor force can no longer satisfy more and more land cultivation. It is not cost-effective to continue to buy slaves to increase land development. These people might as well invest in industry and mining. , In this way, it will bring more benefits to Yizhou. Moreover, continuing to reclaim land is to compete with the people for land. This is not what I want to see. remain at this scale."
Jin Daqian didn't understand what Li Yin said had anything to do with Ryukyu, and became more and more confused.
Li Yin continued: "But if we don't continue to expand food production, we can't have a stable foundation. After all, the army and officials need to eat, so I need 10,000 people to make a million people, and 10 million people to do it." live."
"Your Highness, how is this possible? How can one person do what a hundred people can do." Jin Daqian said in surprise.
Li Yan smiled lightly and said, "Do you still remember the tractor?"
"I remember, does your Highness want to introduce tractors?" Jin Daqian excitedly said, these things are indeed much easier to use than cattle.
"Not only tractors, but also machines that are more powerful than tractors. It's just that I don't want to use these machines in Yizhou, because it will cause some unnecessary troubles, but it's different in Ryukyu. I can provide a lot of them. Machinery, so that 10,000 slaves can exert the ability of a million slaves, and I will send the next batch of slaves to Ryukyu to carry out the real big manor plan there, and you are familiar with the operation of the manor, so I I want you to go." Li Yin said.
"This..." Jin Daqian hesitated. This Ryukyu is undoubtedly a barren land for him. In other words, it is no different from exile. Even individuals will have pimples in their hearts, but this is Li Yin's order, and he will still carry it out. .
Jin Daqian's expression was seen by Li Yin, he understood that this was really embarrassing for Jin Daqian, after all it would mean settling down in Ryukyu.
"I know it's embarrassing, but the development of Ryukyu is indeed very important to my king. It means that my king has another place to settle down. Don't worry about Jin Zhiming. This kid is good and smart. I have already arranged for him to be given to Shangguan Yi is an assistant."
Letting Jin Daqian go to Ryukyu is a simple matter, but there are many things where masters and servants turn against each other. Li Yin does not think that if he is arrogant, everyone will bow to him. The human world needs benefits in addition to relying on feelings, so Li Yin hopes that Jin Daqian can maintain his current enthusiasm and loyalty to work for him after he goes to Ryukyu, so he arranges Jin Zhiming, Jin Daqian's son, to be trained by Shangguanyi, so that Jin Daqian can feel at ease.
"Your Highness!" Jin Daqian looked excited, he reined in the horse, got off the horse baldly, then slowly knelt down, and said: "Your Highness, Zhiming's boy He Dehe can be an assistant to Shangguan Changshi."
Li Yin got off his horse and helped him up, "I said yes, if he is promising in the future, this king will arrange a prestigious position for him, and it will make you shine, right?"
"Your Highness..." Jin Daqian had tears in his eyes, "Your Highness's kindness to my Jin family is as great as a mountain, and the old slave will never be repaid, not to mention the Ryukyu. His Highness will let the old slave go to Futu Kingdom, and the old slave will go too."
"Hehe...you think too much, Ryukyu is indeed a barren place now, but it will definitely flourish in a few years, and with a steamboat, you can go back and forth in ten days, and you can come back anytime you want. Maybe it will be later. Where will this king go on vacation at the beach in two years?" Li Yin laughed.
Jin Daqian also laughed, and said: "At that time, Jin Daqian will return the saddle to His Highness."
In the joke, the relationship between the master and the servant took another step forward. Li Yin and Jin Daqian inspected the growth of various crops in the field, and discussed with Pei Gao, the greenhouse technology and the stewards of the manor, and asked them to make some After the model field is produced, if it is feasible, it will be promoted on the land of the manor.
After explaining these things, the master and the servant returned to Yizhou. Li Yin asked Jin Daqian to start preparations now, so Rongda was the best candidate to take over this matter. The specific things were handed over to him, while Li Min waited for Murong Shun to send the last batch of slaves over.
After working like this for a few days, news from Ryukyu also came. Now Ryukyu Island has been completely controlled by the fleet, and infrastructure construction is currently under Li Yin's instructions.
Li Yin was very happy to get this news. The new strategy has finally completed the first step. The next thing is to let Jin Daqian go to Ryukyu to build a brand new agricultural base after the construction of the military port is completed. At that time, he will no longer have to worry about food. question.
In the Shu Palace, Li Yin was making noodles in the kitchen. After the palace was powered on for a while, the servants and maidservants have all adapted to the convenience brought by the electric life. The same is true for Cui Yingying and Su Moer. electricity.
After having electricity, Li Yin can do a lot of things. Watching TV and playing games are completely the quality of modern life, and things like air conditioners and refrigerators add to the joy of Li Yin's life.
"Your Highness, how long will it take to beat the eggs?" Cui Yingying held a glass bowl in her hand, and kept stirring the egg liquid in the bowl with a mixer.
Li Yan looked back at the egg liquid in his hand and said, "Just make another five bowls."
Rubbing her wrists, Cui Yingying said again: "This bread is too troublesome to make, Mo'er, don't you think so?"
Su Mo'er was making butter, when she heard that she said, "If you are tired, princess, let me do it."
"Let her do it by herself!" Li Yin stopped, "Look, if you are spoiled, it will be tiring to make egg liquid. I ask you to pay more attention to exercise, but you just don't listen. Now your physical strength is not good. Everything in the gym is exhausted. I bought it for you for nothing."
Cui Yingying pouted her mouth aggrievedly, and she glanced at more than a dozen bowls of beaten egg liquid, "But this is too much, do we need to make so much?"
Li Yan wiped his hands and said, "This oven can bake so much at one time, wouldn't it be a waste if there is too little? Are there so many people in the palace afraid that they can't finish it?"
After Li Yin said a few words, Cui Yingying stopped talking, but concentrated on cracking eggs. Today he said on a whim that he wanted to eat bread, and Li Yin took Su Mo'er to the kitchen with her to start cooking since he had nothing to do today. up the bread.
The work in Su Mo'er's hands was over, she walked over with a smile, picked up the bowl and beat egg liquid with Cui Yingying, said something in Cui Yingying's ear, after a while Cui Yingying laughed again, Li Min Seeing their sneaky looks, he said strangely: "What are you talking about? So happy."
Su Morer said: "Did Your Highness notice anything unusual recently?"
"Abnormal?" These days, Li Yin has been busy with shooting practice, and also involved in some things on the manor. Generally speaking, he is still very busy, and he is naturally negligent about some anecdotes.
"Didn't His Royal Highness Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi find them strange?" Cui Yingying said.
Li Yin thought about it for a while, and said: "It's nothing, it's normal, the relationship between the two seems to be better again."
"It's not just better, Zhu Youzhi is currying favor with Qin Huaiyu every day now!" Su Morer laughed.
Li Yin thought for a while, it seemed that this was the case, and he said: "It's true, what happened between them?"
Su Moer pursed her lips and smiled, then whispered in Li Yin's ear.
"These two **** are really smashing toads with mortar, and they are right." It turned out that when Zheng Binglu was preparing for the Women's University, she often went to the Political Affairs College and the Military Academy to ask for some teaching problems so that they could be used in the Women's College. So I went to Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlong for advice, and the military academy turned to Zhu Youzhi. After all, Li Yin didn't like to take care of those trivial matters.
Since both Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlong have families, they naturally wouldn't have any ideas, but Zhu Youzhi is different. He is a bachelor like Qin Huaiyu, but Qin Huaiyu has successfully left the single now, and he is still the same. No one thought of it. , Just here when I was asking for advice from the academic affairs, Zhu Youzhi became so excited when he came and went. rs
