    It is inevitable for young people to get angry sometimes.  //Welcome to reading//

    But at their age, they are only attracted to the opposite sex and do not understand what feelings are and what love is.  More of a three-pointer than a stick.  When the feeling comes, you like it, and when the feeling goes away, it's fine.

    Time is a butcher's knife, and it is also a knife that wears away the enthusiasm of young people.

    After hearing this, Sister Hippo felt that what Li Chengqian said was very reasonable, so she nodded and left happily.

    It seems that the next day, Sister Hippo pulled Li Zhi aside at the door. After a few words, Li Zhi was overjoyed and then very sad, and finally nodded and agreed.

    In the next two days, Li Zhi did not come to guard the door.

    "But, he came again on the third day. Sister Hippo got mad and scolded him, and then he didn't come for several days.

    After half a month, Li Zhi must have started to feel numb after feeling sad and worrying about gains and losses.

    Li Chengqian finds it interesting to think about what his current mental state is.

    Recently, the land in Longyou has been circled.

    The nobles of Chang'an were fighting for territory there. After a lot of fighting, the territory was finally cleared.

    Now that the land has been settled, we need people to go over there and farm the land.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    What we need now is manpower.

    Li Chengqian asked Fatty Zhu to make preparations and transfer some of his farmers from Zhuangzi to Longyou.

    But these manpower is simply not enough.  It took two or three days of horse racing to clear out the land, so how big it must be.  Anyway, you can't see the edge with your eyes, and it's mainly plains.

    What to do, of course, is to buy slaves.

    So Li Chengqian had several families, so he struck first to gain the upper hand. The slaves in Chang'an were swept away first.

    When other families found out, they immediately came in to rob them, but at this time, the slaves of Chang'an.  The price has already increased.

    At this time, Li Chengqian had already reached out to other places outside Chang'an. Luoyang was the capital of the East and there were many slaves there, so the people he sent there also scanned the area.

    Once you get a batch, it will be divided among several families.  Then send him to Longyou.

    Later, other families extended their hands together.

    In just two months, the price of slaves in Datang's slave market suddenly increased five to six times. What's even more ruthless is that for those strong slaves, some people want them even if the price rises ten times.

    ¡°At this time, it was almost suspected of disrupting the market, so the court went to court.  Some remonstrators started to sue, saying how could these evil slave landowners do this and enrich the slave traders. Now Chang'an wants to buy a slave, but it has reached the point where it can no longer be afforded.

    In fact, they can¡¯t afford it.

    As soon as the remonstrator told him, the slave landowners, mainly Changsun Wuji, also jumped out and spoke out.  Yes, those selling for so much money should be caught and beheaded.

    "That's right, what he said is that those who sell slaves are slave traders, and those who buy slaves are landowners. There is no crime at all.

    ?According to common sense, the person who buys is the consumer.  He is a victim, so of course he is not guilty.  Could it be that the evil merchants are selling their products at a high price, and consumers are still being punished?

    The admonishers were choked. This is correct. The slave landowners did not mean to raise the price. They also wanted to buy slaves at a low price.

    So in the next half month, the imperial court also devoted manpower and material resources.  Let's rectify the slave market. Anyone who buys too much will be arrested and fined.

    But this way.  Has the price of slaves become cheaper?

    No, slave traders are all human beings. If the court wants to arrest them, they will not sell them. The more people the court arrests, the more valuable slaves will be.

    ¡°It¡¯s not for sale anymore. It¡¯s not them who are anxious, but the landlords who are in need.

    As a result, a few slave traders were caught. The landowners did not say that they could not buy slaves at a low price. Even if they asked to buy them at ten times the original price, they would not sell them.

    The landowners were anxious: "Then why are you willing to sell to King Xiaoyao?"

    The slave trader looked at them like idiots and said, "King Xiaoyao is genuine, and he won't report us. If he comes to buy it, no one will report it, so why not sell it?"

    "Then we won't report it?"

    "Tch, no one in your family works in the Ministry of Punishment? No Zhijinwu? No Jingzhaoyin? If you dare to say that you have an admonisher, then you will be able to get in but not get out!"

    Which aristocrat in Chang'an does not have an official in these departments?

    So listen?After saying this, he immediately retreated.

    "In this way, Li Chengqian's family is dividing the slaves, but other families can't get any of them. Isn't this urgent?

    So we had to work together to fill the dug hole.

    First of all, of course, it was the admonishers who put forward this opinion.  Tell them to shut up, and tell them in the morning that this is the economic law of the market and should not be artificially destroyed, but should be allowed to develop.

    Several other heavyweight ministers also went to talk to Lao Li, saying that this matter was difficult to handle. Without efforts, how could they contribute to the cause of land reclamation in the Tang Dynasty?

    "Lao Li also knows what tricks these people are up to. Since he has come forward, he won't bother and just tell them that it's okay.

    Then they arrange for the people below to arrest them and punish them for what they want, and then leave everyone else alone.

    The ministers happily agreed.

    But they didn¡¯t realize that Lao Li did not cancel this decree, but just asked the people below to turn a blind eye.

    Next, the slave market opened again.  However, because the slave traders who were caught were all big traders, after they were caught, the organizations below stopped operating, and the supply of goods ran out.

    In this way, slaves really become a rare commodity.

    Overnight, the slave's value increased fifty times.

    Although the big families know that the price will drop after a while.

    But in a month or two, the season will be over, and it will be time to plant for the next season, which is one season slower than other families.  In this way, aren't we going to eat the dirt from other people's butts?

    Seeing that King Xiaoyao and the slaves of General Cheng¡¯s family sent another batch, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and buy it.

    At this time, some admonishers whose families were not rich but had bought one or two slaves in the past also thought of selling the slaves.  I made fifty times the money in one fell swoop.  This was a huge windfall, but it made them extremely happy.

    Although the slave market is so crazy, the slaves received are still not enough for Long You's needs.

    This can only be done for the time being. Just plow as many fields as there are people passing by.

    The manpower has been temporarily solved, but what about the seeds?

    Li Chengqian is the supervisor and principal of the Agricultural College. It is not his own business to obtain seeds.

    And other families came to the door.  But the Agricultural College has said that priority should be given to farmers who order.
