The Hire System and the Mud
" King?!"
When Zhangsun Wugou saw the news on the bulletin board that Su Yan called the administrative center, he could not help but gasp.
At this point, Su Yan's wild ambitions were completely exposed!
He was actually preparing to rebel!
Zhangsun Wugou shook his head, feeling that Su Yan was truly indulging in wild fantasies.
The Great Tang had already unified the world!
There was also a wise ruler like Li Shimin.
Good ministers are like clouds, fierce generals are like rain.
Su Yan had no more than 5,000 soldiers and less than 100,000 people.
How could he fight against the Great Tang?
How to fight Li Shimin?
He was simply courting death, alright?
For some reason, Zhangsun Wugou's heart ached when he thought that Su Yan might be courting death.
What was going on?
Zhangsun Wugou's face revealed a hint of confusion.
During this period of time, she rarely thought about Li Shiming.
The person who appeared in her mind and in her dreams…It was Su Yan.
Zhangsun Wugou bit his lower lip lightly. He had all sorts of complicated feelings in his heart.
She felt sorry for Li Shimin.
However, Su Yan had not touched her until now.
If Su Yan really wanted to touch him…
Would he refuse?
Zhangsun Wugou's thoughts drifted off somewhere.
She looked into the distance.
The people who were abducted by Su Yan had already been included in the Baojia Law.
This Su Yan actually did not force everyone to work.
Instead, he chose to hire…
After snatching people back, he actually spent money to hire everyone to work.
He did not know if this bandit leader…Uh, he should be called Ming Wang now. What was he thinking?
Moreover, according to Zhangsun Wugou's knowledge, Su Yan's salary was even higher than the salary in Chang 'an Fortress.
....
"Don't worry about spending money. Money is useless in our hands!”
Standing beside Su Yan were the four sisters of the Mei family.
The four of them looked at Su Yan with such affectionate gazes.
Fortunately, Su Yan was already used to it.
Because they had captured over 60,000 people from Yongzhou City.
For a moment, the number of officials under Su Yan was somewhat insufficient.
The four Plum Blossom Sisters could at least read and write, so Su Yan sent the four sisters to manage the people.
"Why is money useless?"
Mei Yueqin blinked and asked.
"A pile of copper coins that can't be eaten or worn, what use can it have? Coins are valuable because we believe they are valuable…"We want to integrate these people who have been kidnapped and have grievances into our society. The best way is to have economic ties with them.”
Su Yan's words made the four Plum Blossom Sisters feel like they were listening to a heavenly book.
However, Fan Li's eyes lit up.
The lord was truly a great talent!
"The so-called economic connection is that we hire them to work, and they use their wages to buy the grain and salt in our hands.”
What Su Yan said belonged to the very shallow market economy.
Of course, he could force the people who had been kidnapped to work.
But what was the need?
On the contrary, it would make the people even more resentful.
Moreover, if the people did not have money, economic activity would become sluggish.
This was not in line with Su Yan's interests. After all, as the king who controlled this country, the more economic activities there were, the greater the benefits he could obtain.
Such a way of ruling was cheaper and more efficient than using force.
At this moment, new wasteland was being reclaimed on both sides of the river in the Fallen Dragon Gorge.
On both sides of the hill, terraces were also being built.
After winter, the high-yield rice could be planted in areas with water diversion on both sides of the river.
On the dry land on both sides of the hillside, potatoes would be planted!
If this canyon was developed, it would be enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
At this moment, Yang Tiesheng walked over with a few people.
"Your Majesty, we should have already baked the cement you ordered yesterday!”
Su Yan walked over to take a look. It was indeed dark gray cement.
It was from the silver treasure chest that he had obtained after completing the mission of "conquering Yongzhou City" two days ago.
Earth cement firing technique!
The raw materials were mainly limestone and coal cinders after smelting iron.
Su Yan asked Yang Tiesheng to give it a try. As expected, the cement was burned out.
"Add water first to test the strength. If it was suitable, he could increase the height of the stone wall at the mouth of the gorge by ten feet!”
Su Yan instructed.
"Your Majesty, what is this cement?”
Mei Yuehua tilted her head and asked.
"The so-called cement can solidify and harden when it comes into contact with water. It's as hard as stone and is an excellent building material!”
Su Yan explained.
At this moment.
The sky in the distance suddenly turned red.
"Fire! Fire!"
Someone pointed at the mountain ahead and exclaimed.
