0831 Li Tong has a thin name, the princess hears no
Without the most important translucent and warm film materials in greenhouses in later generations, Li Tong’s so-called new technology actually does not have a high degree of leapfrogness of the times, and it is nothing more than to allocate personnel resources more cleverly.

The surge in Chang'an households has caused the price of daily materials such as firewood, charcoal, etc. After years of cultivation and large-scale construction, in addition to the decline in land fertility in Guanzhong, bamboo and wood resources have also become scarce, and the soil and water conservation conditions are worrying.
After all, the river area is located in the main population settlement area, and the cutting of bamboo and wood materials along the river is also very serious. Therefore, after the mid-Tang Dynasty, the dam breaking of the lower reaches of the Yellow River became frequent, and river management became a serious problem that subsequent dynasties had to face.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the logging in Guanzhong area is not out of control, and to control the price of materials in the capital and the surrounding areas and open up wealth, as early as the Xingtai period, the production of firewood and charcoal around Chang'an was gradually included in the official business, and a large number of related workshops were born.
A large amount of heat will be generated during the burning process. Previously, this part of the heat is not high enough, or it is wasted because there is no matching profit point. Although Li Tong's farming skills are a bit useless, his ideas are still quite broad, so he linked chariot burning with greenhouse planting and ordered relevant skill officials to study and try it.
The heat generated by burning charcoal is still somewhat similar in principle to referring to hot spring geothermal heat. So after several years of attempts, by the end of last year, the farm accompanied by Zhuguanjian Workshop gradually became large, and thousands of hectares of warm field land were distributed around the entire capital, which surged by more than ten times more than the area of the Lishan Hot Spring Imperial Village in the early years.
Moreover, since this model breaks away from the limitations of geographical resources, has great space for replication and is very scalable, it will also be a profit point worth exploring in the future.
Although this achievement is based on the allocation of existing resources and does not involve technological progress across the times, it can also promote the development of productivity. Li Tong is quite satisfied with this and feels that he has not wasted his identity as a time traveler.
Not to mention that his skills in the farming and workers are already negligent. Since he came to this world, he has been in the most intense and cruel high-level power struggle. Out of the need for self-protection and rapid growth, he really has no time and energy to play with farmers and workers.
If you have any ideas, you often leave them to professional talents to study and explore, without asking about the process, only looking at the results. As for the difficulties in technical details, he rarely has mature ideas to provide effective guidance, just like the arrogant and domineering product manager in later generations.
Off-seasonal fruits and vegetables are a gimmick, and their necessity is far less important than increasing the yield per mu. A large number of people at the bottom are still worried about the basic problem of filling the stomach. It doesn’t matter whether they can eat fresh vegetables in the cold winter.
However, taking this model in hand still has a lot of significance to the court. One is to directly open source and increase revenue, and the other is to help collect wealth by the powerful class. After all, these talents are the main audiences of such products.
Although family raids have a more direct and effective role in accumulating wealth, they are not sustainable and have too bad impact on the current situation.
Although the imperial court is also opening up new tax sources, such as the housing stable tax brought by Wu Youyi, the cost and resistance of law enforcement and administration are still not small. For example, some diners and hostels in Chang'an City have begun to develop buildings to multi-story with limited residential land. Some other powerful people are unwilling to pay taxes, which has led to some problems of corruption and bribery.
Reaping wealth through market transactions will have a less impact on the political situation than **** and system additions. After all, market transactions still follow the basic logic of voluntary transactions. If you don’t buy, no one will force you.
However, before this, large-scale out-of-season fruits and vegetables influx into the market had not yet occurred. After all, even the emperor had to enjoy this aspect moderately, and the demand for ordinary people was even smaller. Even if some powerful and powerful people and even wealthy businessmen carried out such production and operation, the output scale was not large. Moreover, in the Confucian value system, there is also a view that they would not eat from time to time, believing that such things are contrary to the destiny of heaven.
There is no accurate understanding of market acceptance and pricing. So although a large number of fruits and vegetables are already ripe, Li Tong is not in a hurry to order it to be introduced to the market.
He decided to first reward the ministers this year, to save the court's expenses in the supply of materials, and to test and cultivate the audience, and to create a trend among the powerful class in Chang'an City through the eating habits of the court officials.
After all, he was still a little dissatisfied with the pace of restoring production and continuing his national strength. He hoped to shorten the efficiency of national strength recovery as much as possible, so that the country could master a large amount of wealth, and thus take steps outward as soon as possible.
It is necessary to ensure the efficiency of national aggregation, but not to increase the burden on the lower class. Therefore, we can only start from the middle and upper classes of society and improve their quality of life in a relatively cheap way, so that they can willingly transfer part of their wealth to the court through the market.
Princess Taiping was obviously interested in this matter and did not pay attention to a melon garden, but wanted to directly explore the new production technology. Li Tong just smiled at this and said casually: "My aunt reminds me that I will investigate the matter strictly later. If there are such problems, the relevant staff must be severely punished."
He never mentioned the details of the new technology. Of course, it was meaningless to do so. After all, with such a large production scale, it was too easy for a person like Princess Taiping to find out. Li Tong was simply unhappy with his aunt and didn't want her to fulfill her wish.
However, even if the relevant production model is leaked, Li Tong was not worried. This production model was built on the official workshops that had already been well-founded by the court, and achieved profitability on a scale.
Even if there are powerful and powerful people who want to intervene and get a share of the pie, the size directly determines that they are not competitive in the market at all. Before, they only built a greenhouse, but now they have to match a charcoal workshop. As a basic daily necessity, the court has absolute control over its production and price. If you really want to join in and do a large scale, you will lose all your money.
After the meal, everyone did not rush to leave the table, but instead summoned the actors and musicians of Yunshao Mansion to enjoy the singing and dancing while chatting.
According to Li Tong's style, if you want to hype something, you often have to build cultural momentum, and this time is naturally no exception.
Therefore, the musicians sang songs such as "The inner garden is divided into warm soup, and in mid-February, I entered the jade basin by the melon curtain to fill with clean water, and the inner person cuts the silver melon in his hand" are not amazing, but they are enough to make people pleasing to the eye with their voices. Even if they produce saliva under their tongue, they will not feel happy when they are not holding a melon in their hands while gnawing.
Princess Taiping listened to the musicians' lyrics, and stroked a melon with thin white, delicate and full color in her hand, her eyes flashing.
Although her relationship with the saint has been worse recently, she still knows this nephew well and has studied some of her routines in managing world affairs. After all, she has cooperated more than once.
Although the saint was vague about the inside story of the Nagua Garden business, it was just a scheming statement. Especially after hearing the actors sang the new words, he was more convinced that the saint was planning to create momentum to make money.
After pondering for a while, she smiled and said, "The songs sang by the palace musicians are plain but interesting. Could it be the saints' recent golden-breaking opera?"
After hearing this, Li Tong smiled and waved his hand, turned to look at his aunt and said, "I have been involved in the world recently, so I have no leisure to play lyrics and music. As for these small works, they are all written by a bachelor of the outside world. I occasionally read them, and they feel interesting, and they took the Yunshao Mansion case rehearsal. As for this bachelor, I don't know if my aunt has heard of it, it is Li Tong and Li of Sanyuan."
As soon as he said this, although the sound of silk and bamboo in the hall was as usual, many people in the table were shocked and turned to look. When Li Tong saw this, he said, "Good guy, it turned out that his little vest had become an open secret between his family."
He knew his wife and concubine, but his grandmother's eyes became deeper when she looked at him, and she was obviously quite aware of the whole story. As for Princess Taiping's expression, she looked a little surprised and embarrassed after hearing this. Unexpectedly, Li Tong took the initiative to find out.
"Sanyuan Li Tong? I have heard of this person! He is accustomed to relying on his talent to make a market, and he has become a great fan of things. Many of them have soared in the prices of goods, which is disgusting!"
Li Youniang raised her hand to speak, feeling anger that she was harmed by her: "This kind of person is dependent on her talent and is also a frivolous person. Brother, you still admire him very much. Did you take a look at him?"
Li Tong's face suddenly turned dark after hearing this. He was not so angry that the little girl looked at her. Li Guangshun coughed dryly and whispered: "Young mom, can you know how much people and things are. Don't be rude and criticize. When commenting, Mr. Li has a deep knowledge. Yes, he is a very interesting person."
Putting aside the interruption of Li Youniang, Li Tong turned to his aunt again and said with a smile: "Sir Li is famous for his poems in Xijing. Has his aunt never heard of it?"
"This, the time to settle in Beijing is still short, which is indeed shorter than what you see. But since the saints have such praise, I am lucky to choose a date, so I have to sweep the bed to welcome it..."
When Princess Taiping heard the saint ask again, she lowered her head and responded with a dry smile.
"It's night, it's all gone."
At this time, the Empress Dowager raised her hand and said, then looked at Li Tong with a smile: "The saint has time at night, so I'll give your grandmother a trip."
