Chapter eight hundred and eighty

Zhejiang Prefecture, also known as Wu Yue Kingdom, was also included in the Tang Dynasty with Qian Chu's surrender.

Only then did Li Jia know the details of the Wu Yue Kingdom.

It has one state army, twelve prefectures, sixty-seven county, five hundred and fifty thousand household registration, about two million and three hundred soldiers, and more than three thousand officials.

It would be fine. The army eliminates the young and old, and officials will be retained, but the Qian family's children will be moved to other houses for employment and can also be dismissed from office.

In terms of population, it is definitely not the case. Hangzhou alone has 580,000 and Suzhou has 630,000. The other prefectures and counties combined can compare with the two states. This is pure nonsense.

Of course, the largest landlord in the entire Wuyue Kingdom is the Qian family. Now that they have just surrendered, they can't be too much. Their eating habits are a bit ugly. So after a few years of land investigation, the population will increase by at least hundreds of thousands or even millions.

After all, netizens have counted that the Wu Yue Kingdom has a maximum of 5 million people, and many people are hidden in the mountainous areas in southern Zhejiang.

What Li Jia is most concerned about is his treasury gold and silver.

Qian Chu knew the right way, and Xia Sheng basically didn't move much, so Li Jia picked up a ready-made one.

There are 38,000 taels of gold, 153,000 taels of silver, 156,000 coins of copper, 1.56 million stags of cloth, 1.6 million pieces of grain, 8.8 million stones? Other tea, grass, silk, etc. are incalculable.

It can be said that the income of Wu Yue Kingdom is still higher than that of the entire Central Plains? Of course, some of them are inventory over the years.

So?                                                                                                                              �

However?                                                                                                                              �

…………

The third year of Qiande in the Song Dynasty? The sixth year of Shenwu in the Tang Dynasty? The fifteenth year of Yingli in the Khitan, April 16th.

Spring is gradually over, summer is coming, and the whole northern region has quietly entered the summer heat mode. The earth is like a steamer? It is becoming increasingly unbearable.

A few light rains in early spring have slightly moisturized the entire Shandong area? Now, after baking in summer, it has returned to its dryness.

The people of Shandong are already familiar with this situation?                                                                                                                          

Fortunately, there was no military disaster, and such heavy taxes were paid, but at least they could survive.

It’s strange that the entire Jingdong area is as plain as water, with only Deng and Laizhou, which are extremely prosperous, with many merchants coming and going. The people abandoned the crops they served at home and came here to do short-term work and seek work.

Because Deng and Laizhou are geographically located, they belong to the corner of the entire Shandong Peninsula, which is very close to Liaodong, Goryeo and Jeju. Many people who traveled to Shandong in later generations took a boat from this.

The merchants here have always been enthusiastic about international trade. With the enthusiasm of the Beihai trade, the merchants in the two states of Denglai also became enthusiastic. They actively communicated, did business with the people of Tang, sold goods from the south, and made a lot of relationships.

"Brother Zhang please--"

In the largest restaurant in Dengzhou, two men dressed as wealthy businessmen came in. The waiter hurriedly greeted him and entered the restaurant's private room.

The chubby businessman sat on the chair with a smile, looking at the person sitting opposite him, which was very valuable, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Kong has been having a good life recently!"

"If there is no place, it's not that Brother Zhang needs to take care of me, otherwise I can only make some food at my doorstep, and Brother Zhang has to be happy."

Kong Congjian quickly poured wine and said in a compliment.

"I brought a thousand stones of salt this time. I wonder how much Brother Li can eat?" said the fat businessman casually.

"One thousand stone?" Li Congjian muttered, this is 100,000 kilograms. Now, Jingdong's territory has 50 kilograms of salt, and 20 kilograms of salt can make thirty kilograms. This is a transaction of tens of thousands of kilograms, and it is a pure profit of thousands of kilograms.

"Brother Zhang, what's this little salt? Don't underestimate me!" Kong Congjian said with a smile.

Qian Chu knew the right way, and Xia Sheng basically didn't move much, so Li Jia picked up a ready-made one.

There are 38,000 taels of gold, 153,000 taels of silver, 156,000 coins of copper, 1.56 million stags of cloth, 1.6 million pieces of grain, 8.8 million stones, and other tea, grass, silk, etc.

It can be said that the income of Wu Yue Kingdom is still higher than that of the entire Central Plains. Of course, some of them are inventory over the years.

Therefore, with so many treasuries, Li Jia naturally would not be stingy with a prince's title, which is what others deserve.

However, since Qian Chu has married his daughter, there is no stage of offering a daughter this time, which makes people feel uncomfortable and does not conform to tradition.

A few light rains in early spring have slightly moisturized the entire Shandong area. Now, after baking in summer, it has returned to its dry appearance.

The people of Shandong are already familiar with this situation. This has been the case for decades. After working for half a month, there will be a few more rains. The harvest every year is just mediocre and there will be no harvest for many years.

Fortunately, there was no military disaster, and such heavy taxes were paid, but at least they could survive.
